Mit Bezug auf die Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns (1981) wird nicht selten von einem αParadigmenwechsel± in den Sozialwissenschaften gesprochen, den Jürgen Habermas selbst mit seinem Weg von der Bewusstseinsphilosophie zur Sprachtheorie vollzogen habe. Die vorliegende Studie verfolgt diesen Weg der Habermasschen Theoriebildung von der Interessenlehre der 1960er Jahre bis zur Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns. Im Zentrum steht dabei die intellektuelle Auseinandersetzung von Habermas mit jenen Denkern, deren Theorien und Ansätze scheinbar auch die Grundbegriffe seines eigenen theoretischen Systems stützen. Die Analyse der Habermasschen Interpretationen, von u.a. Popper, Marx, Weber, Wittgenstein, Gadamer und Freud, verweist jedoch auf eine Reihe von teilweise sehr eigenwilligen Auslegungen und höchst problematischen Adaptionen. In αkorrigierter± Lesart zeigt sich dagegen, dass Habermas seinen bewusstseinsphilosophischen Standpunkt nie wirklich verlassen hat, weshalb eine Korrektur der vorherrschenden Ansichten über den von Habermas vollzogenen αParadigmenwechsel± unerlässlich scheint.

This study investigates how each environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimension relates to tax avoidance in well- and poorly governed firms. The analysis uses data from 2016 to 2020 on A-share companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and three panel methodologies: pooled ordinary least squares, random effects, and fixed effects models. The results show that not all ESG dimensions are equally associated with tax avoidance, and the relationship between ESG and tax avoidance differs between well- and poorly governed firms. For well-governed firms, the social and governance dimensions positively correlate with tax avoidance, whereas the environmental dimension does not. For poorly governed firms, none of the three dimensions correlate with tax avoidance. These findings suggest that ESG and tax avoidance are more compatible than conflicting. Moreover, they underscore the importance of good corporate governance in enabling tax avoidance as an ESG-compatible strategy. This study addresses the debatable relationship between ESG and tax avoidance, which has significant implications for stakeholders, including managers, investors, and policymakers.

AbstractIn South Korea, romanticization of the era of Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945) has long been taboo: the period is widely regarded as one of the most painful and shameful parts of South Korean history. However, during the past decade unexpected cracks have appeared in established national narratives on the colonial period. This paper explores the dissonance between long-standing national narratives and the commodification of local heritage sites for tourism, by examining the heritagization of Japanese colonial architecture in the city of Gunsan. Despite the Gunsan Municipal Government positions the city's colonial stories in ways that largely align with national official narratives on Japanese colonial history, such efforts have unexpectedly generated feelings of imagined nostalgia in three ways: (1) through clashes between official colonial history and the means by which colonial daily life is depicted in Gunsan's Modern Cultural Belt; (2) through the interwoven colonial and post-colonial stories presented in the city's Modern Historic Landscape District and (3) through the commercialized colonial and post-colonial stories articulated by private businesses in Gunsan. This paper suggests that productive nostalgia can help to overcome the limit of the current form of Gunsan's heritagization, and to construct Gunsan's diverse local memories

The political situation on the Korean Peninsula appears to be more hopeful now than for several decades, calling for a new strategy for reunification. Through music, people in the two Koreas can reclaim one ethnicity and the spirit of a unified nation. This thesis explores the possibility of achieving a unified ethnic identity through church music and poses a role for church music in overcoming the musical, cultural, and ecclesial divisions between South and North Korea. I examine the Korean National Music Theory (KNMT) of composer and church musician Lee Geon Yong as a musical and philosophical construct for analyzing the history, social culture, theology, and the implications of establishing a unified ethnic identity for South and North Korea. After comparing the political identities, artistic cultures, and musical characteristics of the two Koreas, I provide a brief history of the two Korean churches since their division. This research provides directions for a Koreanized church music to overcome musical heterogeneity of two Koreas. Based on this, I suggest the potential musical and theological characteristics of reunification hymnal and offer implications of Lee Geon Yong's work for the reunification of church music for the North and South Korea.
