Description
Summary:The point of departure of this article is an analysis of the dynamics of transformation of social structures on a global level: Growing contingency, pluralism and heterogeneity are basic experiences in society that are increasingly perceived as a threatening scenario while the call for supposedly safe categories of order and orientation, for example in the form of (resurgent) stronger ethnocentrism and racism, is becoming louder and louder. Behind this is the wish for unambiguity and control at the basis of an identity-based way of thinking. Through a striving for compulsive disambiguation, this has proven to be incapable of doing justice to contingency as a social reality. The author believes the problems of this violent thought practice must be discussed in adult education. This could open up „in-between worlds,“ which are spaces in which education is possible that arise when one thinks in constellations and relations and that aim for the unfolding of unanticipated opportunities for development.
