Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book presents a novel analysis supporting the idea that a theatre ensemble is not just an entity but an emergent process. Through the lens of a theatre company's performative, creative, organizational, and activist practices, the ensemble is conceptualized in its collective becoming. This socio-historical and new materialist analysis of a European theatre company (ATIR) over thirty years highlights how a group's performative capacity to make-ensemble stimulates its organizational and social processes. With a commitment to participation, listening, and horizontality, the ensemble is shown to challenge the structures of capitalism, and fosters a vision of hope for societies.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In A History of Ottoman Political Thought up to the Early Nineteenth Century, Marinos Sariyannis offers a survey of Ottoman political texts, examined in a book-length study for the first time. From the last glimpses of gazi ideology and the first instances of Persian political philosophy in the fifteenth century until the apologists of Western-style military reform in the early nineteenth century, the author studies a multitude of theories and views, focusing on an identification of ideological trends rather than a simple enumeration of texts and authors. At the same time, the book offers analytical summaries of texts otherwise difficult to find in English.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the 1890s financial speculation and market manipulation were prominent features of the Southern African gold mining industry. Extravagantly capitalised, starved of working capital, and poorly managed, many mines could not be made to pay. Investors suffered more at the hands of Randlords than they did from those of the Boer Government in Pretoria. By failing to take any of this into serious consideration, accounts that focus on mining company complaints as the root cause of the Jameson Raid and the outbreak of war in 1899 are missing a key dimension of the past.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book provides an in-depth discussion of the cultural and missional implications of the explosion of charismatic Christianity on mainline denominations in Africa. The book proposes that the charismatization of mainline churches is a contextual, missional, and transcultural phenomenon that enriches and invigorates African Christian communities. Focused on the experience of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania and using Prosperity Gospel as an example, the book explores how some mainline churches are being enriched by adopting practices of charismatic Christianity. It proposes a holistic and contextual understanding of the Prosperity Gospel, understood as the mafanikio gospel in Tanzania, as a relevant theological resource for Lutherans in Dar-es-Salaam. In doing so, it intends to contribute to the needed paradigm shift in theological discourses around Prosperity Gospel to challenge stereotypical criticisms that label it false and misleading. 294 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Persian Calligraphy and related traditional arts of books make up the most important forms of Iranian-Islamic art, which are still living practiced traditions up to today. This volume puts together a first-of-a-kind handbook and contains the most important termini technici as well as expressions and techniques connected to the traditional art of Persian calligraphy (mostly Nasta?liq), calligraphy tools such as the reed pen, paper and ink as well as some related fields, like ta?hib (illumination), tas?ir (historiated painting), book binding, etc. The content is based on thirty prominent classical Persian treatises, composed between twelfth and twentieth centuries. All terms and expressions are followed by an English description and often accompanied by an illustration. These expressions, which are key to understanding old calligraphic treatises and many relevant sources on Islamic art, are meant to familiarise the reader with both common and forgotten techniques and terminology of calligraphic traditions. The volume addresses not only the artists and scholars of Iranian and Islamic art history, but also those, who are dealt with Islamic and Iranian manuscripts, manuscript cultures, codicology and palaeography. Both the author and the editor of this volume are trained practicing calligraphers and illuminators, who learned the art of calligraphy and illumination through long, traditional study under masters of this art.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - During its Qajar period (1210-1344/1795-1925), Iran witnessed some lively and significant philosophical discourse. Yet apart from studies devoted to individual figures such as Mulla Hadi Sabzawari and Shaykh A?mad A?sa?i, modern scholarship has paid little attention to the animated discussions and vibrant traditions of philosophy that continued in Iran during this period. The articles assembled in this book present an account of the life, works and philosophical challenges taken up by seven major philosophers of the Qajar period. As a collection, the articles convey the range and diversity of Qajar philosophical thinking. Besides indigenous thoughts, the book also deals with the reception of European philosophy in Iran at the time.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Arab painting, preserved mainly in manuscript illustrations of the 12th to 14th centuries, is here treated as an artistic corpus fully deserving of appreciation in its own terms, and not as a mere precursor to Persian painting. The book assembles papers by a distinguished list of scholars that illuminate the variety of material that survives in scientific as well as literary manuscripts. Because of the contexts in which the paintings appear, a major theoretical concern is, precisely, the relationship of painting to text. It rejects earlier scholarly habits of analysing paintings in isolation, and proposes the integration of text and image as a more satisfactory framework within which to elucidate the characteristics and functions of this impressive body of work.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is the outcome of an original and interdisciplinary undertaking by the Academy of Young Scholars and Artists based in Wroclaw, Poland. One of the fundamental objectives of the Academy is to improve and foster communication between outstanding representatives of various fields of science, the humanities and art. In this regard to close the gap between the sciences, humanities and the arts and replace it with a unifying yet diverse vision of human cognition - a group of over 50 scholars and artists were asked to present their perspectives on the concepts of 'complexity' and 'simplicity' in the form of articles or artworks that made reference to their specific disciplines. Hence, the material presented in this compilation may serve as an interdisciplinary source of inspiration for a wide variety of readers. The choice of the main theme - complexity, simplicity, and the various kinds of thought-provoking dialectics unfolding between these - was motivated by a comprehensive and ongoing debate observable in the area of the methodology of the sciences as well as in various spheres of art.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In recent decades, TV has depicted schooling in wildly different ways. During this time, the field of Curriculum Studies has evolved with the generation and incorporation of different theories. This book puts those theories to work by providing examples of how they could be used to read scenes of schooling on TV through a series of short, accessible essays. How would Jean Anyon think of schooling and class relations in Diff'rent Strokes What does a queer reading of Buffy The Vampire Slayer tell us about students' relationship to authority What does a cartoon created by one of Hip Hop's most imaginative minds offer to burned-out teachers The book also includes essays from 'guest stars' (well-known scholars in the field) and several 'commercial breaks' that provide additional resources for those interested in Curriculum Studies. Guest stars are: Wayne Au, Denise Taliaferro Baszile, Esther Ohito, Rachel Talbert, Roozbeh Shirazi, Kate Strom and Boni Wozolek.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Much has been written about successful curricula for/of the fourth/Fifth Industrial Revolution (4/5IR). The written work has been dominated by a contestation between content-driven approaches (professional needs) and outcomes-driven approaches (societal needs). The contestation between these approaches misses the production of conclusive curriculum components that underpin a successful digitalised curriculum for/of the 4/5IR. The contestation further misses a pragmatic curriculum, which is capable of addressing individual-unique needs. As such, this book concentrates on curriculum components that underpin a successful digitalised curriculum for/of the 4/5IR. It further discusses curriculum components for/of a pragmatic curriculum that harmonises between the two dominating approaches. Contributors are: Bongani Boy Dlamini, Reuben S.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'In the vast majority of language education literature, it seems as if we have been collectively imagining a monosexual community of interlocutors,' denounced Cynthia Nelson in 2006. Nearly two decades later, her statement still seems widely true, despite marginal attempts to challenge this situation, not yet fully addressed by mainstream publishers, educators or policymakers. The aim of this book is to contribute to creating more hospitable learning contexts by usualising diversity and queerness in the teaching of English worldwide, a field which, supposedly fostering a 'lingua franca' has frequently spread white, masculine, Western, colonial and cisheterosexist stances, among others. How did queerness become a movement in the teaching of English How can practitioners respond to counterreactions How has queer research developed in English Language Education How can teaching materials be queer or anti-queer How can literature and drama be used when teaching English from a queer perspective What would a queer class of English be like What is the situation of queer teachers of English in different countries These are just some of the questions answered in this book, edited by Esteban López-Medina, Griselda Beacon, Mariano Quinterno and Xiana Sotelo. Contributors are: Juanjo Bermúdez de Castro, Jules Buendgens-Kosten, Tatia Gruenbaum, Cristina A. Huertas-Abril, Nicolás Melo Panigatti, Thorsten Merse, Cynthia D.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This casebook edition comprises critical essays about and an English translation of La Diabolique Tragédie. Each essay is an example of what Peter Barry has called 'Crisis Critique, ' the commentaries ranging from the psychoanalytical, to the feminist, the historicist and the religious. A 'poème en prose' dating from the start of the nineteenth century, La Diabolique Tragédie was first published in 2011. It was the work of a forger whose (unrealized) endgame was for the text to be presented to the public of the day as an authentic work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The critical essays represent a series of impressions of different types of literary critics, which - the author hopes - will prove a good match for the forger's 'mock Rousseau.'.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book maintains that theories of tribalism are the benchmark for African political scientific knowledge. With a focus on Afrodemocracy, this volume presents Afro Tribalism as an approach to neotribalism. Gael Clavis Johnson argues on the question of Afrodemocracy through a review of black socio-political reasons and the introduction of a new model of leadership for Africans. The author posits that if Pan-Africanism wants groundbreaking change in Africa, then it should change the ideological grounds of which this content has identified pre-existing causes, thus mirroring steps towards new African political ideologies.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An embodied perspective on mathematical thinking, teaching and learning has grown from early theoretical and empirical work in the 90's to a diverse and productive collection of approaches today. The aim of this book is to survey the landscape of these approaches and to provide empirical examples of research and an in-depth analysis of the most influential perspectives on embodiment and mathematics.
