Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Nähe auf Distanz (Proximity at a Distance) project examines the semantic change of photographs and videos in the age of the internet. The contributions are dedicated to examples of selfie protests, images of the Arab Spring, of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, of the Gezi Park protests, of the Syrian war, and the image politics of the 'Islamic State.' The project critically analyzes their potential, even across great distances, to exert and emotional and communicative impact, and to trigger political actions. The concept of image reflected here is based on digital transmission; it is marked by the permanent modifications of images through data transfers and postproduction. ; In Nähe auf Distanz wird der Bedeutungswandel von Fotografien und Videos im Zeitalter des Internets untersucht. Die Beiträge widmen sich exemplarisch u.a. den Selfie-Protesten, Bildern des Arabischen Frühlings, des Israelisch-Palästinensischen Konflikts, der Gezi-Park-Proteste, des Syrienkriegs sowie der Bildpolitik des 'Islamischen Staats'. Deren Potenziale, auch über weite Distanzen hinweg affektiv und kommunikativ wirksam zu werden und politische Handlungen auszulösen, werden kritisch analysiert. Der hier reflektierte Bildbegriff basiert auf digitaler Übertragung und ist von permanenten Bildmodifikationen durch Datentransfers und Postproduktionen geprägt.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is a truly paradigm-shifting study that reads a key text in Latin Humanist studies as the culmination, rather than an early example, of a tradition in university drama. It persuasively argues against the common assumption that there was no 'drama' in the medieval universities until the syllabus was influenced by humanist ideas, and posits a new way of reading the performative dimensions of fourteenth and fifteenth-century university education in, for example, Ciceronian tuition on epistolary delivery. David Bevington calls it 'an impressively learned discussion' and commends the sophistication of its use of performativity theory.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This monograph examines Anglo-Saxon prayer outside of the communal liturgy. With a particular emphasis on its practical aspects, it considers how small groups of prayers were elaborated into complex programs for personal devotion, resulting in the forerunners of the Special Offices. With examples being taken chiefly from major eleventh-century collections of prayers, liturgy and medical remedies, the methodologies of Anglo-Saxon compilers are examined, followed by five chapters on specialist kinds of prayer: to the Trinity and saints, for liturgical feasts and the canonical hours, to the Holy Cross, for protection and healing, and confessions. Analyzing prayer in a wide range of different situations, this book argues that Anglo-Saxon manuscripts may have included far more private offices than have so far been recognized, if we see them for what they were.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume provides a unique introduction to the most topical issues, advances, and challenges in medieval horse history. Medievalists who have a long-standing interest in horse history, as well as those seeking to widen their understanding of horses in medieval society will find here informed and comprehensive treatment of chapters from disciplines as diverse as archaeology, legal, economic and military history, urban and rural history, art and literature. The themes range from case studies of saddles and bridles, to hippiatric treatises, to the medieval origins of dressage literary studies. It shows the ubiquitous - and often ambiguous - role of the horse in medieval culture, where it was simultaneously a treasured animal and a means of transport, a military machine and a loyal companion. The contributors, many of whom have practical knowledge of horses, are drawn from established and budding scholars working in their areas of expertise.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This collection of essays examines how the paratextual apparatus of medieval manuscripts both inscribes and expresses power relations between the producers and consumers of knowledge in this important period of intellectual history. It seeks to define which paratextual features - annotations, commentaries, corrections, glosses, images, prologues, rubrics, and titles - are common to manuscripts from different branches of medieval knowledge and how they function in any particular discipline. It reveals how these visual expressions of power that organize and compile thought on the written page are consciously applied, negotiated or resisted by authors, scribes, artists, patrons and readers. This collection, which brings together scholars from the history of the book, law, science, medicine, literature, art, philosophy and music, interrogates the role played by paratexts in establishing authority, constructing bodies of knowledge, promoting education, shaping reader response, and preserving or subverting tradition in medieval manuscript culture.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seit Menschen in größeren Gruppen zusammenleben, werden sie in ihrem Verhalten von denen beeinflusst, die besonders wirkungsvoll zu ihnen sprechen können.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware - This publication uncovers two previously dismissed pre-modern adaptations of the Middle High German Wigalois (1215) by exploring their different approaches to female agency in comparison with the original Wigalois, the Yiddish Viduvilt (14th ct.) and the German Wigoleis (15th ct.). Traditionally, scholarship often concentrated on the Yiddish text presenting female figures as behaving in a 'Jewish manner' or embodying famous Jewish mythical figures such as Lilith (see Achim Jaeger / Robert G. Warnock). Rather than trying to argue for or against a figure's 'Jewishness,' I evaluate these interpretations from the perspective of Arthurian Literature by showing that the construction of female agency is at the center of all three adaptations of this important chapter of German-Jewish literature and culture. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -New technology in vehicles is transforming the way people move around as well as what they do in their vehicles. How does one communicate with an in-car speech system and how does this vary by language or cultural community This book explores this process by focusing on the communication practices that people engage in when using their in-car systems and when talking about their vehicles with co-passengers. Chapters present a robust theory and methodology for studying communication in cars, how tasks are begun and ended, how people switch between tasks, how non-task talk appears, what ways and styles of communication drivers prefer, and how they expect the system voice to respond, among other things. Particular attention is given to cultural preferences as they are evident in this communication; these preferences are found to ground various trajectories in the use and meaning of in-car communication practices. The book explores these matters with a focus on the United States and Mainland China. Implications are drawn for the design and utilization of in-car communication systems. 164 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Das besondere Augenmerk der Studie gilt den globalen und oft auch verstörenden Aspekten der Technikentwicklung (e.g. 'Künstliche Intelligenz', 'Big Data', 'Ökoethik'). Gegenstand des ersten, analytischen Teils sind gewisse Besonderheiten technischer Rationalität, ihre Durchdringung der Lebenswelt bis hin zur Entwicklung künstlicher Intelligenz sowie die unser Denken bis heute determinierenden geistesgeschichtlichen Weichenstellungen durch Bacon, Galilei und Descartes. Im zweiten, 'dialektischen' Teil wird eben jener 'verstörende' Wesenszug moderner Technik näher analysiert, der zu ungeplanten 'Umschlagsphänomenen' führt, etwa dass technische Befreiung unversehens in strukturellen Zwang umschlägt. Im dritten, ethischen Teil wird, als Folge der Massentechnisierung, die Notwendigkeit eines 'Globalisierungsprinzips' im Rahmen einer 'post-klassischen' Öko-Ethik begründet - mit der Pointe eines Grundrechts auch und gerade des Geistes auf eine 'heile' Natur: eine bislang nicht angemessen gewürdigte geistige Dimension des Ökoproblems! 154 pp. Deutsch. …
