Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is a seminal example of historical writing on Korean popular culture, based on solid data that integrates historical facts and cultural symbols within a broader analytical framework, offering insightful critical interpretation. It explores the history of Korean popular culture that has grown and developed on the foundation of modern history. The history of popular culture is not just the history of subgenres such as film, popular music, and television; it is intertwined with various cultural texts and authors that represent the era, issues of production and consumption, industry and markets, institutions and politics, ideological domination and resistance, technology and media, generational conflicts and differences, and the everyday lives and emotions of the public.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores how the person and salvific significance of Jesus Christ can be understood within today's secular and religiously plural world. Rather than adopting an exclusivist approach, it presents Christology in a manner that steers clear of both rigid absolutism and reductive relativism. At its core lies a thought-provoking question: how might Christology be interpreted not in opposition to, but in dialogue with, other religious traditions Engaging with biblical sources, often-overlooked strands of theological heritage, and contemporary theological discourse, the book offers a fresh perspective on the concept of 'incarnation.' It reinterprets it as 'representation, ' moving beyond the traditional doctrine of Christ's two natures towards a more dynamic understanding of two fundamental relationships--Jesus' relationship with God and his relationship with humanity. This work was originally published in German as Jesus Christus - Repräsentant Gottes by Theologischer Verlag Zürich (TVZ) in 2021. This English edition has been translated from the original and adapted to the context of Anglo-American theology and religious studies.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -What is the meaning of recognition and why is it so important What does it have to do with the human life form and democracy The book tries to answer these questions and will show how proper forms of recognition relationships positively affect our personal and social life, whereas the absence of it can profoundly undermine our autonomy and well-being. The importance of recognition extends beyond the constitution of human persons; it is a pivotal concept in shaping the vision of a just society and ensuring the autonomy of individuals within a democratic state. This book argues that the normative foundation of democracy is not solely political but fundamentally social, grounded in relations of recognition that structure justice, autonomy, and participation. This framework is referred to as the 'recognition-theoretical model of democracy'. It provides a viable foundation for reconstructing a fair democratic polity that emphasizes substantive and interpersonal practices of human sociality. 189 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book provides tools for thinking about how professional and pre-professional educators and policymakers might use research findings to improve learning and teaching in the classroom. It discusses prerequisites such as adopting an empirical perspective, building a knowledge base for evidence-informed models, strengthening scientific literacy (for example, understanding research designs, the nature of control groups, and statistical and practical significance), and developing neuroscientific literacy (for example, understanding methodologies and levels of analysis, and whether and how neuroscience evidence can be integrated with other knowledge sources). It advocates for educator models of learning, development, and teaching informed by a deeper understanding of using research evidence in critical, principled ways, supported through teacher training programs and education policies that value the use of scientific evidence. Accessibly summarizing foundational concepts, this book is a resource for student teachers, teacher developers, and policymakers. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Researching the English Reformation studies the history and historiography of early Anglicanism in order to pay tribute to the scholarship of W. Brown Patterson. Three of the volume's sections are inspired by Patterson's research monographs. The first taking its cue from Patterson's study of Thomas Fuller, analyses the intersection of mythology and historiography surrounding the English Reformation. The second, following Patterson's study of William Perkins, turns to the general theological and political contours of early modern England. The third pans out in both geography and chronology, thus emulating Patterson's award-winning study of King James VI and I. The fourth and final section analyses how, in the nineteenth century, the early modern period was reinvented by the Parker Society and the Oxford Movement. Contributors are: Benjamin M. Guyer, William E. Engel, George Core, George Poe, Diarmaid MacCulloch, Anthony Milton, James Ross MacDonald, Scott Kindred-Barnes, Paul Dominiak, David Neelands, John N. Wall, Torrance Kirby, Margo Todd, Nicholas Tyacke, Lori Anne Ferrell, and Peter Nockles.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - T. Edmund Harvey (1875-1955) is a unique figure, a Quaker who was a member of the British parliament in both world wars. He began as a Liberal Radical MP under Asquith and ended as an Independent Progressive in Churchill's wartime Parliament. He was a child of the Quaker Renaissance, a post-Victorian Christian gentleman whose religious and political life coincided with the era in Quaker history of 'liberalism ascendant', an era he helped shape. Harvey's career evinces a fourfold typology of British Quakers, as liberals, socialists, anarchists and experientialists.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book broaches a hitherto unexplored subject. It is a systematic overview of the domestic implementation or enforcement of Inter-American Court of Human Rights Judgments across all the countries that accept its jurisdiction. This book urges (and allows) us to move beyond the discourse of 'influence' of international courts, a discourse that, while helpful in some respects, also has limited usefulness for the victims of human rights violations in judgments. Comprehensive and theoretically sophisticated, this book sheds new light into how human rights law, international courts, and even international law more broadly can in fact be transformative on the ground.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book discusses popular contention in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province (until 1952 the governorate of al-Ahsa?) under the aegis of petro-capitalism. The notion of urban revolution takes on a double meaning, namely the rapid urbanisation which broke with the region's urban past and destroyed the oasis environment and merchant economy, and the types of resistance and rebellious fervour that were triggered by the concentration of labour and industrial production in the new urban centres. The book uses archival sources from the United States, Great Britain, and Saudi Arabia as well as accounts of Saudi oil workers, activists, and other contemporaries.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book presents for the first time the oldest surviving example of universal history to be produced in the Malay-Indonesian World.

The initial chapters in this book situate the manuscript within its historical, social and religious context in the Sultanate of Aceh. This is followed by a transliteration of the Jawi text and translation into English, as well as the original Jawi text of the work.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Does the fact that we dislike someone influence our perception of the world If Poles consider Russians as 'historical' enemies, does this affect how they interpret the present and the past The author argues this is indeed the case. In his book, the author illustrates this through the example of the Caucasus, primarily in the context of the nineteenth century, when the modern Polish nation was being formed. How did the Polish independence emigration view the independence struggles of the Caucasian peoples And how do contemporary Polish researchers and publicists approach the issue Where does Russia fit into all of this The author seeks to answer these and many other questions in his account about an imagined Polish-Caucasian comradery.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Pirqa de-Rabbenu ha-Qadosh is a popular numerical anthology of Jewish maxims and is categorized to date as a medieval midrash. This book examines its earliest hitherto unedited manuscript finds in the Cairo Genizah (10-13th century), focusing on the fluid compilatory structures exhibited in them. The study investigates its medieval manuscript contexts and suggests a set of methodologies to capture its complexities, including the study of literary compilatory structures, editorial methodology and a holistic book historical approach.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A significant part of our original primary sources derive from the personal remembrances of Ali Askerov, one of the two authors of this book. He is an ethnic Azerbaijani scholar who was born and lived in an area of present-day Armenia during the first part of his life. He was forced to leave his place of birth at the age of 18 in July 1988. Indeed, his family, as did several hundred thousand other Azerbaijanis, had lived in these places for many centuries, but were deported into exile or ethnically cleansed during the twentieth century by the Armenians. The Armenians did this to create an ethnically homogenous area in which they could create their own ethnically-based Armenian state. In addition to Professor Askerov's detailed remembrances, this book is based on primary archival material and interviews obtained from sources in contemporary Armenia, Azerbaijan, and elsewhere as well as a variety of secondary sources written by Azerbaijanis, Armenians, and many others.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Scripture and the Search for the Christian Doctrine of God examines the dynamic exegetical traditions that shaped the fourth-century Trinitarian controversies and how these legacies of biblical reading have influenced both evaluations of the fourth century and subsequent use of patristic materials by scholars and theologians. Part I, 'Legacies,' focuses on pre-Nicene reading practices with an eye towards how they were received in the fourth century and beyond. Part II, 'Traditions,' investigates how fourth- and fifth-century theologians received and inherited pre-Nicene traditions of biblical reading. Part III, 'Receptions,' highlights the way that patristic exegesis has been received in a variety of post-patristic contexts, including Medieval Chinese Christianity, early Renaissance Humanism, and Contemporary Evangelicalism. The result is a greater appreciation of the deeply biblical character of the early Christian search for the doctrine of God.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the first interdisciplinary effort to study friendship in late imperial China from the perspective of gender history. Friendship was valorized with unprecedented enthusiasm in Ming China (1368-1644). Some Ming literati even proposed that friendship was the most fundamental relationship among the so-called 'five cardinal human relationships'. Why the cult of friendship in Ming China How was male friendship theorized, practiced and represented during that period These are some of the questions the current volume deals with. Coming from different disciplines (history, musicology and literary studies), the contributors thoroughly explore the complexities and the gendered nature of friendship in Ming China. This volume has also been published as a special theme issue of Brill's journal NAN NÜ, Men, Women and Gender in China.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the first critical translation into English of Fr. Lodovico Flori's accounting manual, published in 1636. Originally written in Sicilian-infused Italian for administrators within the houses and colleges of the Jesuit Order, it is widely considered to be an outstanding example of its type published before 1800. Its focus is the records of all transactions, the double entry method of bookkeeping adopted, and the organization of the accounting system. Its goal was to best serve the needs of the institutions of the Jesuit Order, while complying with the tenets, mores, and rules of the Order. It represents a landmark in the use of accounting technology in administration and management. Its use of accounting to serve administrative needs predicted how income and wealth are calculated today, predating commercial practice by over a hundred years.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Unlike Elijah's stories, Elisha's, especially the short legends, have received little scholarly attention or deep analysis. Though this is changing, recent research often views them as critical of Elisha. This book aims to highlight their richness and complexity through literary analysis and to establish them as the earliest example in Israelite literature of Saint's legends or prophetic hagiography.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Laboratory of the Revolution is the first-ever professional study of Tomás Garrido Canabal, revolutionary strongman of Tabasco state between 1922 and 1935. He dreamed of turning Tabasco--an isolated backwater and the quintessential 'banana republic'--into a beacon of progress. Garrido's recipe for that progress consisted of ridding the state of religion, prohibiting alcohol and other vices, championing science, and boosting agriculture and ranching. He only fell from power when a shoot-out in Tabasco furnished the pretext for subordinating the state to President Lázaro Cárdenas's centrally governed political machine, the forerunner of Mexico's long-lived one-party system.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the philosophical foundations on which Ernst Cassirer bases the central themes of his thought, namely function and the symbolic, establishing as the core inquiry the way in which knowledge of the singular is made possible. Through an exploration of works published between 1898 and 1917, it is argued that knowledge is constituted as a relationship between unity and a general form that enables the designation of a phenomenon as an object of knowledge. The justification that the universal is the foundation of the singular can be achieved through Cassirer's philosophy, while also providing a fundamental reason for studying his early philosophical period.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On April 29, 1981, journalist George Thurlow was shot by members of the El Salvador Treasury Police on a jungle road in San Salvador. His driver, Gilberto Moran, was killed and Associated Press photographer Joaquin Zuniga was seriously injured. In 2000, Thurlow began a more than two-decade search to find Gilberto Moran's grave and some form of personal redemption. El Salvador: Blood On All Our Hands introduces us to those who fought in the civil war, to U.S. aid workers helping to rebuild the country, as well as everyday Salvadorans who suffered through a war killing 70,000 of their fellow citizens.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu.
