Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Food as a tangible construct could be appreciated in terms of its organoleptic aspects and also from the premise of social contexts, cultural systems and spaces as well. Kitchen, cooking utensils, and dining areas are not mere physical places but also the site of cultural production and exchange where meanings are invented and negotiated. Thus, food and its significance as both cultural artefact and a political space of discourse speak to multiple histories, identities, and social relations that compose this very essential element in the weave of human experience. This anthology of essays may broadly be classified under three heads; Food representations in Visual Media, Food and Digital Performance, and Food and the Public Spaces. Here we discuss essays on real culinary spaces and how they are translated into visual mediums like series or cinema. Digital media representations are also investigated where food vlogs and social media platforms are studied. It also deals with how the real spaces like restaurants and kitchen objects rearticulate one's experience especially in a kitchen. The collection also contains auto-ethnographic essays on caste and religion.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book highlights the significant shifts in China's socioeconomic structure brought about by the country's first four decades of reform and opening-up. It address a number of contentious issues, including: Is the disparity in income growing or shrinking Has there been a decrease in social mobility What is the size of the middle class and middle-income group in China With solid empirical evidence and rigorous analysis, contributors make the case that social policies that advance social justice and enhance people's well-being are needed to adjudicate tensions among social classes and groups. It is of paramount importance for these policies to ensure that democracy and the rule of Law are upheld, the government is transparent, and the public's voices are heard and they can fully participate in social governance.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'This book excellently advocates for considering intermediality not just as a hybrid form, but as a mode of critical thinking that emerges fromversatile aesthetic strategies capable of intertwining multiple perspectives on complex issues and cultural connections in our world. A unique contribution to the field that maps out new and exciting areas of study.' - Ágnes Pethö, Professor of Film Studies, Sapientia UniversityThis collection of essays asks what it means to think intermedially across art forms and media, continents and cultures, research fields and disciplines. Highlighting the intercultural and sociopolitical aspects of artistic creation, the contributors investigate intermedial practice as a potent means to interrogate constructions of identity, challenge power differentials, and unveil the ethical and aesthetic dimension of images. From the immersive visual attractions of the eighteenth-century eidophusikon to online drawing during the Covid-19 epidemic, the essays explore a diverse range of intermedial phenomena, including screen adaptation, the theatrical tableau, phototexts and cross-cultural translation. Casting new light on celebrated figures such as Louise Bourgeois, Marguerite Duras, Jacques Derrida, Orhan Pamuk and Yoko Tawada, as well as lesser-known artists, the book offers a unique perspective on intermediality as a vehicle for intercultural exchange and critical intervention. 280 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An interdisciplinary and transdiscursive approach to describe Polish masculinities of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The book thoroughly rethinks the Polish literary studies in the context of various masculinities shaped in Polish culture over the last two centuries. Drawing on theoretical foundations from social sciences, psychoanalysis, and literary theory, Smieja reveals how the dominant literary fiction of masculinity attempts to justify its claim to hegemony and domination by pointing to historical traumas.'A compelling interpretive narrative: masculinity in patriarchal societies emerges as a dominant yet deceptive fiction of the male world that ultimately produces historical traumas, eventually fracturing and distorting male identity.' - Prof. Tomasz Tomasik 'Smieja's book masterfully dissects masculinity as a fantasy formation, a myth, a fiction rather than a stable, symbolically dominant reality.' - Prof. Inga Iwasiów 410 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une collaboration entre les universités de Caen-Normandie et Naples-L'Orientale, s'appuyant sur l'important fonds Léonard de Vinci légué par André Corbeau en 1971. Le livre explore la « mémoire vive » de Vinci pour mettre en lumière son « actualité » : sa façon d'agir encore sur notre monde.

Enfin, l'importance des techniques est soulignée dans les derniers chapitres¿: apparition de l'écriture, de l'imprimerie, du magnétophone, d'Internet, de l'intelligence artificielle. La linguistique est science humaine, 'trop humaine'. L'auteur s'efforce de ne pas dire ses préférences. Pas trop. 164 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mettant en dialogue la sécurité climatique et la justice climatique, cet ouvrage d'actualité utilise le Sahel comme étude de cas pour discuter du contraste entre ces deux approches et de la manière dont elles tendent à ne pas tenir compte des contextes sociaux, historiques et politiques.Le livre présente le débat international sur la sécurité climatique, en mettant l'accent sur le Mali en tant que pays ' pivot ' de la crise sécuritaire actuelle dans le Sahel occidental. Critiquant les récits simplistes, il développe l'idée de la ' reconnaissance ' en tant qu'aspect négligé de la justice dans la littérature sur le Sahel, ainsi que dans les débats politiques et médiatiques. Le livre démontre aussi comment les questions de justice climatique en Afrique sont intégrées dans les politiques de transformation sociale vers des sociétés à faible émission de carbone dans les pays riches.Ce livre est une ressource inestimable pour les étudiants et les spécialistes de la justice climatique et du changement climatique, des études sur la paix et la sécurité, des études sur l'environnement et le développement, de la géographie et de l'écologie politique. Ses implications pratiques sont vitales pour les décideurs politiques en matière d'environnement, les employés des ONG et les activistes climatiques du monde entier. 204 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The sciences of literacy and place-based education have historically been on two separate tracks. In The Learning Landscape, Alvera McMillan persuasively brings them together. Working with 'challenged readers,' she demonstrates that place-based approaches to literacy are more engaging for students and lead to increased academic success.David Sobel, Professor Emeritus Antioch University, New EnglandMcMillan reminds educators and others how adolescent learning can reflect 'meaning, value, and joy.' This book is a celebration of the exceptional ways she intersected literacy, nature place-based learning, and community into an interdisciplinary pedagogy. Her framework is powerful. Like McMillan, every educator should consciously seek students' strengths while building their capacity as learners within a community context.Margaret-Mary Sulentic Dowell, PhD Cecil 'Pete' Taylor Endowed Professor, Louisiana State UniversityWhen students' lived experiences, local ecosystems, and community knowledge are integrated into the learning landscape, education becomes a force for resilience in rural communities. As public schools grapple with academic pressures alongside growing concerns about student well-being, rural communities face persistent economic and environmental challenges. This book examines a natureinfused, asset-based approach to adolescent literacy learning as a strategy for sustaining people, places, and communities during periods of disruption and uncertainty. Blending storytelling with an actionable instructional framework, it o ers educators, researchers, and community partners guidance for designing interdisciplinary, nature place-based learning experiences that position young people as active contributors to their communities.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 158 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In den letzten Jahren haben technologische Entwicklungen, die vor allem auf Fortschritten im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) basieren, zu rasanten, fast revolutionären Veränderungen in der Übersetzungsindustrie und, in etwas geringerem Ausmaß, in der Dolmetschbranche geführt.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For teachers, crafting effective explanations is a daily challenge, especially without a clear framework. This gap between theoretical constructivist principles and practical, actionable guidance often leaves educators unprepared. This book addresses that void directly. It presents the findings of a qualitative study that analyses real classroom teaching in higher education. The research identifies fourteen types of knowledge, nineteen instructional explanation strategies, and three core explanatory approaches that reveal how these strategies support learning at a cognitive level. Introducing The Principle of Instructional Explanation Strategies: this book finally bridges the gap between teaching tactics and schema development, explaining how strategies facilitate assimilation and accommodation. It provides an essential framework for educators in higher education to expertly diagnose their subject matter and choose the most effective scaffolding techniques for their lessons. 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le présent ouvrage analyse les concepts de folie et de violence à partir d'un corpus de romans francophones et anglophones d'Afrique. Ceux-ci mettent en scène des univers chaotiques peuplés de personnages présentant des symptômes de la maladie mentale et où les violences extrêmes générées par le génocide, les guerres civiles et les régimes dictatoriaux sont généralisées. Les motifs de folie et de violence sont manifestes tant dans leur contenu qu'au sein même des structures narratives et langagières.L'auteur analyse les différentes formes de folies¿et de violences en tentant de relever les interactions entre les deux concepts. La folie est perçue ici non seulement comme la désarticulation psychique de l'individu à l'épreuve de la violence, mais aussi comme un acte de révolte et de subversion face à une situation d'oppression et d'abus.Ce livre montre que la dynamique de création chez l'écrivain postcolonial est conditionnée par un ensemble de perturbations d'ordre psychique, culturel, identitaire et social qui influencent ses productions. Tous ces signes de subversion des normes esthétiques s'inscrivent dans l'option de la démarche postcoloniale, qui prescrit une reconsidération des normes euro centrées. 268 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book serves as a sociocultural-based method for both graduate and undergraduate students, providing practical frameworks that will be beneficial throughout their teaching careers. One of the pressing issues in academia is classroom management. This book addresses this topic directly, offering practical tools and strategies for both experienced and novice teachers to effectively manage classrooms with at-risk students from diverse backgrounds.At the same time, these scholarly endeavors will also be very beneficial to practicing teachers, scholars, practitioners, etc. and the relevant field(s) of study as a practical theoretical framework and handbook for use especially after the pandemic we experienced.Dr. Adams' book reminds educators that though we stand on the shoulders of giants, re-examining and revising our conceptual understandings through an historical lens is crucial to contemporary practice. In addressing 'at-risk' via the pre- and post-pandemic worlds, Adams provides important insights into both process and content.Dr. Eric C. Sheffield, College of Education & Human Services, Western Illinois University.This book is about developing an understanding of those student groups who are less successful in our public schools and help them be successful. In accomplishing this, Adams covers an impressive, in-depth, explanatory range of ideas, concepts, research, theories, and paradigms related to public schooling. Indeed, very few books cover the range he does. I bet; you will learn much that you did not know about public schooling from practice to research to theory.Dr. James Joseph Scheurich, Indiana University-Indianapolis.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 346 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un travail collaboratif de recensement des représentations littéraires de l'accouchement dans des périodes et aires culturelles différentes. Il rassemble des études de différents textes issus de ce corpus afin de mettre en évidence leurs similitudes et leurs différences. Il s'agit notamment de démontrer que la représentation de l'accouchement a longtemps été appropriée par le point de vue masculin, servant ainsi à justifier le contrôle patriarcal sur le corps des femmes. Cependant, nous verrons qu'aujourd'hui, un nombre croissant d'autrices s'emparent de cet événement afin de lui donner une nouvelle visibilité, centrée sur l'expérience personnelle dans un souci de vérité et d'affirmation d'une perspective féminine sur le sujet. 260 pp. Französisch.
