Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Modal Pragmatics analyzes and systematizes differences among our uses of modal expressions in ordinary language which have not been adequately explained elsewhere. We say such things as: 'By necessity, John Tylor was not Jewish; no US-president ever was'; 'The rooks cannot move diagonally'; 'It is still possible for you to catch the train'; 'I am necessarily only in one place at a time'; 'Peter will inevitably die; there is no antidote to the venom of the snake that bit him'. These differences are not sufficiently explained by distinctions between different types of modalities like alethic and deontic, or by different bases of evaluation like the speaker's knowledge or an object's history. They can, however, be clarified and more systematically defined by establishing a new field of modal differentiation, which we may call 'modal pragmatics'. Apart from analyzing ordinary language, this may be helpful in formulating ontological theses. 109 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Combining historical and ethnographic approaches in her pioneering study, Magdalena Slavkova offers an insightful contribution to our understanding of Romani evangelicalism.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Forced migration always takes place within specific cultural, social, political, and spatial environments. This volume focuses on the interaction between those forced to migrate and their environments in the contexts of escape and exile from Nazi-occupied Europe. Forced emigration from Nazi Germany was a global phenomenon that took refugees to regions they often knew very little about. Not only did they have to adapt to foreign cultures, but also to unfamiliar natural environments that often exposed them to severe temperature conditions, droughts, rainy seasons, and diseases. While some refugees prepared for the natural conditions of their exile destination, others acquired environmental knowledge at their host countries or were able to adapt prior knowledge to the new environment. Consequently, specific knowledge about the environment had a large influence on the forced migration experience.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this book, Ryszard Bobrowicz discusses why seemingly neutral rooms, multi-faith spaces, were subject to contestations from, and clashes between, their users, their managers, and those shaping policies concerning them. From street protests to parliamentary debates, from Sweden to Spain, this book explores the impact of multi-faith spaces in Europe by critically examining the visions of religion behind, in, and around them. Ryszard Bobrowicz investigates the history and intellectual foundations of the politics of multi-faith in contemporary Europe, introducing the novel notion of 'legible religion'. According to Bobrowicz, in administrative proceedings, phenomena labelled as religious are reduced to the features that are deemed important by public functionaries. This has striking implications for both practice and politics.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Panama has been considered one of the most developed countries in Latin America. With high skylines and a modern metro system, this Central American country hides a true reality when we explore it in a deeper level. Like many other marginalized groups, LGBT communities in Panama have been invisible and ignored by the State. Incidents related to homophobia, transphobia, and hate crime have been taken for granted for many years. Instead, LGBT individuals have been blamed for behaving against social and sometimes religious norms. This book answers the researcher's questions: (1) How can I use my transnational mariposa consciousness to document my lived experiences as a maricón in Panama (2) What does it mean to be a gay man in Panama nowadays (3) How do trans women's experiences with a hostile society shape their everyday existence.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We live in a patriarchal world where women view themselves through the scripted lens of imperfection. Contemporary social media intensifies this message. Girls are bombarded with unnatural presentations of beauty, which they are told they will never achieve. Current research into the impact of social media, specifically Instagram and Tik Tok reveals its relationship to eating disorders and to other adolescent mental health identity issues. Transforming the perception of female identity in modern western society will require a deep cultural facelift as well as a celebration of that transformation. This book draws attention to the patriarchal mandates placed upon women during the 1960s. The author explores the combined impact which media and maternal influences had upon her adolescent identity development inclusive of anorexia. This volume includes two distinct parts: Part 1 ('She Speaks') the author's pre-adolescent memoir, and Part 2 ('They Speak') an exploration of historical, psychological, and social identity influencers as well as an arts-based workshop designed to empower adolescent girls. You the reader, may choose to first immerse yourself in the narrative (Part 1) or to stand back and get an overview (Part 2), prior to that immersion.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The academic experiences and emotions shared in these chapters can be described as thoughtful, courageous, insightful, and worrisome. Collectively, authors draw a troubled higher education landscape that has evolved over the years from, to put it mildly, a 'more pleasant' working environment in more generous times, to a less pleasant working environment in today's more restrictive, more competitive, and more financially difficult times. However, on a positive note, contributing authors share their understanding of the core purpose of the higher education institution and its mission as purveyors of that purpose through adherence to the university's stated triad of goals: teaching, research, and service.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Neoliberal theory on higher education highlights the challenges faced by academics in the 'new times' of academia. Quality-improvement programs and academic accountability mechanisms have been advocated, but the profession's precariousness and stress make early career researchers especially vulnerable. The highly competitive funding environment and increased non-research duties put academics' time and dedication at risk. Early career academics can enhance Sub-Saharan African educational research by contributing effectively to contextually relevant research, collaborating with regional colleagues, and pursuing international collaboration and financing. However, more research is needed to understand the experiences of the new generation of academics and their responses to new performativity criteria.
