Repräsentationen wirken: Die Bedeutung von Bildern, Artefakten und Handlungsaufforderungen im Kontext der Missionspädagogik

The importance of images, artefacts and calls for action in the context of mission education

Abstract

Concepts in dealing with other cultures and religions have an effect on children and young people via concrete representations. This interaction is to be shown using the example of the concept of missionary education, which dominated until the last century. The immanent hegemonic and asymmetrical thought patterns
of this Eurocentric view of the global world can be tracked by means of concrete representations, e.g. images, artefacts and calls to action, to their effects which can be derived from autobiographic descriptions.
