Programmplanende agieren in einem komplexen Gefüge, das bei der Zielgruppenorientierung und Angebotsentwicklung durch Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen von Differenzen geprägt ist. Durch die Untersuchung von Diversity im Programmplanungshandeln verdeutlicht die Studie die dahinterliegenden Differenzierungspraktiken in der Erwachsenenbildung. In einer Situationsanalyse rekonstruiert die Autorin Begründungsmuster für die Zuschreibung von Differenzkategorien und daraus resultierende Antizipationen zielgruppenspezifischer Bedarfe zur Partizipation im Bildungs- und Arbeitsmarkt. Die intendierte Förderung von gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe als Ziel von Programmplanungshandeln und die Forderung zur eigenverantwortlichen Partizipation der Teilnehmenden werden im Diskurs um Gouvernementalität verortet.

Ganador del XX Premio Real Academia Española 2023Denominados en la tradición romanística "parejas sinonímicas", "duplicaciones", "bimembraciones", etc., los grupos léxicos paratácticos constituyen uno de los fenómenos de estilo más llamativos y característicos de la escritura elaborada en la historia de las lenguas europeas. Este libro ofrece un análisis de las estructuras léxicas paratácticas desde una perspectiva plurilingüe y de acuerdo con un enfoque teórico-metodológico sustentado en la lingüística de variedades. Con base en un corpus de textos traducidos del latín al español, francés, italiano y portugués en la Edad Media y primer Renacimiento, se estudian las unidades en relación con el problema de la sinonimia, se realiza un recorrido historiográfico del fenómeno, se caracterizan morfosintáctica y semánticamente los grupos y se discuten el papel del cultismo y el carácter discursivo-tradicional en la conformación de las combinaciones paratácticas.
