This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The work of Peter Greenaway poses a complex challenge since it ranges from films to artworks and forces the limits usually accepted for both domains. The themes of his work, such as death, violence and sexuality, mixed with games and different kinds of measuring, can be polemical. Furthermore, the treatment that they are given eschews well-known solutions, thus impelling the viewer to play an active role. The Baroque is proposed as a key to relating different aspects of Greenaway s work that would otherwise seem chaotic and incoherent. The term Baroque refers to a historical period, but also to a topic that has been given attention by both art and film critics who do not limit it exclusively to the 17th century. This book identifies the basic strategies of Greenaway s work that resulted in different formal and thematic manifestations related to what has been conventionally qualified as a Baroque aesthetic. Film and artwork are analyzed together, with intention of showing how similar conceptions of an idea can be translated to different domains. The book ventures to decipher Greenaway s puzzles while assuming that critical writing can be an engaging game. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -River covers animal poetry, shamanism, metaphysics and mythology. It is also representative of the poet's eloquence and love for nature. There, movement is literally the paramount means of expression for the poet: it lies in the form of the writing itself, through rhythm and many other literary tricks, as well as through the settings and events described.The whole book is pervaded with movement, which seems to be to the poet what dance is to a dancer. River combines this particular feature with most of the properties of Ted Hughes' poetry. It is bulging with meanings, symbols, literary and philosophical conceits. It also leads the reader to a deeper understanding of the poet's vision of life and the universe, through the symbolical microcosm of the riverside environment. A vision generated by the struggle of opposites such as light versus darkness, movement versus stillness, sound versus silence, the world below versus the outside world. If the poet's outlook is mainly dualistic, one can find a unifying element: Ted Hughes' interest in shamanism, aiming at vital awareness and harmony. 100 pp. Englisch.

Despite strong sentiment in favor of a playoff over the current Bowl Championship Series system, and admittance from top-level NCAA and FBS administrators that a playoff would increase overall revenues, the BCS/bowl system remains favored by the majority of university presidents and conference commissioners. This study examined one possible reason there is not a playoff. To achieve this, the revenues of the current system were compared to conservative revenue estimates of a proposed playoff, likely administered by the NCAA, similar to the Division I Basketball Championship. The goal was to determine how the current bowl relationships and contracts factor into university president''s resistance to implement a playoff. The findings showed that while more overall revenue could be earned by a playoff, institutions could have less available unrestricted revenue to use at their discretion. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This brief study focuses on three basic issues raised in the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945): (1) The concept of the 'weakness of God as strength' present in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and ultimately exemplified in his life and death; (2) A return to Jesus' initial and long forgotten message of freedom from the concept of religion; (3) A world that has finally 'come of age' heralding a time of intellectual honesty and mutual trust for the benefit of both believers and non-believers. An enlightened critique of religion, even a call for its dismissal, does not mean joining the 'death of God' school, and the current demise of traditional institutions is not the end of a healthy faith. Granted, we are going through difficult times. Our newly discovered 'freedom in maturity' has given rise to much spiritual and moral instability. Indeed, 'The blood-dimmed tide is loosed upon the world. . The best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.' Consequently fundamentalisms flourish. A few more generations of struggle and adjustments will be needed before the wolf ultimately lies down with the lamb. But lie down it will. 100 pp. Englisch.

Four solo percussion pieces serve as the body of work for the discussion. In Désastre by Inouk Demers, experimentation with the percussion set-up is the key to the development of an ideal interpretation. In Autumn Island by Roger Reynolds, the effectiveness of memory experiments and of the study of musical sketches become a part of my interpretation. In Rogosanti by James Wood, the composer provides a metaphor that underlies the composition of the piece, and I further expand the metaphor to define my interpretation. In Le Corps à Corps by Georges Aperghis, theatrical intention is the focal point and the balance between musical behavior and theatrical behavior becomes the way through which I find my interpretation. 84 pp. Englisch.

Two main problems are present: First, what component of meaning predicts their unergativity Contra Reinhart 2002, this paper argues that inanimate unergatives involve a causal implication, hence their subject merges externally without further ado. Second, a subset of inanimate unergatives exhibits transitive alternates (e.g. The doorbell buzzed / The postman buzzed the doorbell). How is the alternation formed This paper shows that the process involved here is a productive, non-derivational pattern, which has been independently attested. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The worldwide trend of inclusive education movement has frequently confined the practices of inclusion in general schools. However, no country at present is known to educate all students without the co- existence of some types of special schools. Existing literature on concepts, policies, and practices of inclusive education typically assumes the position that inclusive education refers to education in general school settings. Education policies for special needs students in Hong Kong also confine inclusive education within general schools. Based on data collected from the three secondary schools designated with the special dual mission of serving students with severe learning disabilities and their non-disabled peers, this book argues that inclusion is fundamentally the full acceptance of all students, striving to meet their needs and leading to a sense of belonging within the school community. The analyses pinpointed a need to re-conceptualize inclusive education and to establish an all-inclusive education system. More importantly, it led to the conclusion that equity, not equality, should be in the center of service provisions to students with disabilities. 64 pp. Englisch.

This study looks at the effectiveness of direct and indirect WCF when using them with 26 intermediate ESL learners' writings, and investigates whether giving them the type of feedback they preferred or less preferred would influence their actual performance. The study draws on three linguistic forms (definite/indefinite articles, singular/plural nouns, and present simple tense), and using three different groups of pictures to elicit participants to write a 250 words paragraph. It contributes information not only on whether direct or indirect WCF helps learners improve their written accuracy more, but also shows direct or indirect feedback is more effective when learners dealing with the three linguistic forms. This book will be especially useful to language teachers, and researchers in the field. 112 pp. Englisch.

It is concluded that, whereas the reduction of trade barriers and integration into world market can be an engine of growth, it fails to secure an environmentally sustainable and socially equitable development, reflected in poor income distribution, social exclusion of economically vulnerable groups, low wages, and environmental degradation. Lax regulation and a high reliance on self-regulation has been insufficient to effectively address these problems. In conclusion, leaving CSR to the voluntary act of business and the invisible hands of the free marked will do little or no good. However, the problem it not CSR per se, rather how it was used. Consequently, this thesis calls for the need to rethink the concept of CSR. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The key to understanding Twain's travel writing is in the introduction of his first book, The Innocents Abroad. Here Twain promises to strip foreign lands of romantic illusion, by describing people and places exactly as they are--even if that means exposing the glories of Europe and the mysteries of the Holy Land as one big tourist trap. This study argues that, in order to accomplish this goal, Twain uses his skills as a master orator to not merely relate his travels, but to perform them in a comic frame. As one laughs at Twain's antics, one begins to see foreign lands as both an actor in Twain's drama, and as an observer of that drama. Mark Twain was a master story teller, and his descriptions of foreign lands, cultures, and people are able to argue for new perspectives. Despite the power of these arguments, Twain's books remain enjoyable means to escape from the world over here and experience Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Africa from the comfort of one's own armchair. 80 pp. Englisch.

It was hypothesized that auditory attentional manipulations at encoding, using endogenous and exogenous cueing, would have a similar effect to findings in the visual memory system attentional manipulations have a significant effect on direct but not on indirect tests of memory. Four experiments were conducted using an attentional cueing manipulation technique, where memory was tested using direct and indirect memory tests. The results showed that exogenous and endogenous cueing manipulations have a beneficial effect on memory when measured using a direct memory test, but have little or no effect on memory when assessed with an indirect test of memory. These four experiments conducted clearly demonstrate that attentional cueing manipulations placed during encoding can have a measurable effect on visual and auditory memory when assessed directly. 68 pp. Englisch.

Panache was a trail blazer in developing a fashion magazine format for world majority women where an alternative space was deliberately created for imagining beautiful images for a major demographic that established magazines had virtually ignored. Importantly, the text traces a legacy of 'otherness' around the notion of the savage woman and locates contemporary media practice as central in the trans-historical reproduction of colonial knowledges of difference. It analyses how Panache magazine conducted its kind of resistance within the confining boundaries of this most unexpected genre - the women's magazine. This study re-visits the process through which Panache magazine produced its representational practice. There are many lessons to be gleaned from Panache's attempt to break the mould, shift the gaze, and deliberately change the way in which fashion framed and approached this important audience and subject. 104 pp. Englisch.

It is informed by a close reading of David Hume's 'Of the Standard of Taste.' According to Hume, beauty is a sentiment or feeling that arises whenever certain qualities present themselves to us in works of art. Not all individuals, however, are equally capable of discerning these qualities. Just as the taste of oak in a glass of wine may be imperceptible to all but the most discerning of palates, the qualities that distinguish a great work of art may be no less elusive. Hume's aesthetic theory, therefore, gives special prominence to the art critic (or, in his words, the 'True Judge'), who alone is able to discern and make manifest such qualities in novel works of art. This book attempts to grapple with the merits (and limitations) of Hume's theory. 60 pp. Englisch.

The tumour of this phenomenon is a cause of concern affecting the education delivery system, as society has become a globalised village. The study contends that the decisive encounter of cross-culturalism is a paradox because it can be pedagogically enriching and also disastrous. Schools constitute one of those social institutions that currently are smarting from cross- cultural decay in light of the fact that the Zimbabwean society is prey to various ethnic cultures. This trend is unstoppable. In the backdrop of this, the need for a multicultural education becomes current. Multicultural education will offer new ethos to arrest' the rot that schools are facing. The implications call for the changing practical and conceptual roles of education practitioners in multiple ways, which range from the demand for new professional attitudes, fusion of teaching methodologies and to fresh curriculum planning. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Shorttitle This book investigates the muroyi(witch) and uroyi(witchcraft) beliefs among the Karanga people. It starts by a survey of witchcraft beliefs as they obtain in the Shona novels, poetry and folktales before it delves into the details and specifics of the Karanga beliefs.The book explores as well as interrogating the Karanga belief system with the aim of finding out the rationale behind the belief system. The author argues that the western definition of a witch does not embrace the Karanga people's conception of a witch. The book, therefore, offers a tentative definition of a witch which the author feels is encompassing.Different types of witches, thier familiars and thier methods of operation are interrogated and discussed. The final chapter of the book deals with both the negatve and positive functions of the beliefs in the Karanga society. 56 pp. Englisch.
