Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Arbeit behandelt das Zusammenspiel von Gemeinschaftsrecht und nationalen Privatrechten im Fall der sogenannten überschießenden Richtlinienumsetzung. Vor dem Hintergrund des zum 1.1.2002 in Kraft getretenen Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsgesetzes beschäftigt sich die Arbeit zunächst ausführlich mit der materiell-rechtlichen Frage der («quasi-richtlinienkonformen») Auslegung des überschießend angeglichenen nationalen Rechts. Im Anschluss daran erfolgt eine umfassende Untersuchung der prozessualen Problematik, ob im überschießenden Bereich eine Vorlage an den EuGH nach Art. 234 EG erfolgen darf (bzw. muss) und ob die nationalen Gerichte in der Folge an die Judikatur des EuGH gebunden sind. Dabei wird stets sowohl die Sicht des Gemeinschafts- als auch des nationalen Rechts berücksichtigt. Im Ergebnis werden Vorlagerecht und Bindungswirkung grundsätzlich bejaht, gleichzeitig werden Vorschläge für mögliche Beschränkungen des Vorlagerechts gemacht.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dans le cadre des nouveaux cursus, la didactique des langues étrangères est en train de confirmer son rôle pluridisciplinaire. Les concepts de « plurilinguisme » et d'« interculturalité » sont couramment répandus parmi les universitaires et éducatifs, mais aussi dans les discours politiques sur la mobilité internationale. Ces notions sont investiguées ici sous leurs multiples dimensions à partir du Centre d'enseignement et de recherche en langues étrangères de l'Université de Fribourg, offrant, de par sa configuration plurilingue et pluriculturelle, un lieu d'observation privilégié des logiques des individus sur un marché des langues et des logiques des institutions sur un marché universitaire. Cet ouvrage examine les enjeux des politiques linguistiques suisses et européennes et leurs implications pour la conception du « plurilinguisme », en étudiant les situations d'apprentissage et comportements des apprenants en contexte bilingue. Il analyse les relations entre plurilinguisme et interculturalité, en explorant les représentations, attitudes, pratiques linguistiques et stratégies identitaires de l'étudiant. Ces réflexions engagent le spécialiste des langues et cultures étrangères à penser une nouvelle didactique du plurilinguisme et de l'interculturalité pour répondre aux défis que représente la formation des jeunes générations en situation de mobilité sociale, culturelle, professionnelle et intellectuelle. Mit den neuen Studiengängen bestätigt sich die fächerübergreifende Funktion der Fremdsprachendidaktik. Die Begriffe «Mehrsprachigkeit» und «Interkulturalität» sind nicht nur in der universitären Forschung und bei den Erziehungswissenschaften, sondern auch in politischen Stellungnahmen zur internationalen Mobilität weit verbreitet. Diese Begriffe werden hier in ihren vielseitigen Dimensionen untersucht, ausgehend vom Lern- und ForschungsZentrum für Fremdsprachen der Universität Freiburg, welches dank seiner mehrsprachigen und multikulturellen Zusammensetzung einen idealen Ort bietet, um die individuelle Logik auf dem Sprachenmarkt sowie die institutionelle Logik auf dem universitären Markt zu beobachten. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen die Zielsetzungen der schweizerischen und europäischen Sprachpolitik und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Konzeption der «Mehrsprachigkeit», wobei Lernsituationen und -verhalten im zweisprachigen Kontext betrachtet werden. Durch die Erforschung der Vorstellungen, Haltungen, Sprachpraktiken und Identitätsstrategien der Studierenden werden die Beziehungen zwischen Mehrsprachigkeit und Interkulturalität analysiert. Diese Reflexionen bieten Fachpersonen für Fremdsprachen und fremde Kulturen Anregungen für eine neue Didaktik der Mehrsprachigkeit und der Interkulturalität, um den Anforderungen an die Ausbildung der künftigen Generationen in einer Situation der sozialen, kulturellen, beruflichen und intellektuellen Mobilität gerecht zu werden. 284 pp. Deutsch, Französisch, Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Responding to the comprehensive topic 'Old Environments - New Environments', scholars from a variety of disciplines reflect the various connotations that the term 'environment' carries in a Canadian context. Whether moving within the realm of foreign policy, visual arts, constitutional questions, tourism, nature preservation or aboriginal rights, these essays put the capaciousness and cohesiveness of the nation to the test by illustrating the pressures enforced upon it by multiculturalism, the claims for self-determination, anti-confederate agitation and globalisation. The environments scrutinised are many and various, but within each the linchpin remains the quest for identity on the part of the individual, the group or the nation at large. Individually as well as collectively, the essays in this volume constitute an important contribution to the ongoing debate on Canadianness. 316 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mankind is the only speaking species on earth. Hence language is supposed to have a genetic basis, no matter whether it relies on general intelligence, or on a linguistic module. This study proposes that universal formal properties of the linguistic code emerged from the genetic code through duplication. The proportion of segmental duplication is clearly higher in the human genome than in any other species, and duplication took place 6 million years ago when humans separated from the other hominid branches. The evolution of language is therefore supposed to be a gradual process with a break. This book describes a lot of striking formal resemblances the genetic code and the linguistic code hold in common. The book aims to reconcile generative grammar with cognitive semiotics showing that both of them constitute instances of embodiment. 184 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book comprises twenty-two chapters, including previously unpublished material, written over the entire span of Marianne Shapiro's working life. Its opening section on the European heritage begins with a long essay on the Aeneid that breaks new interpretative ground by examining the epic from the perspective of Virgil's implicit prescriptions for leaders and leadership. Chapters on Dante add to the store of knowledge on his minor works as well as the Comedy, and are followed by close readings of Petrarch and Provençal poetry. The American and comparative literature section features an analysis of John Ashbery's New Spirit and a page-by-page commentary on Nabokov's Lolita and Pnin. The book is rounded out by three chapters in a semiotics section, the highlight of which is an analysis of the Christian Trinity based on a deep understanding of Peirce's sign theory. 522 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A rising China immediately raises two pressing questions. First, the phenomenal growth of Chinese power occurred at the same time as the equally eye-catching display of hostile confrontations and conflicts between China and the United States from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s. How the lone super power of the post-Cold War world and the former Celestial Emperor of Asia that is again on the rise will accommodate each other and the impact that this may have are issues of grave concern to scholars. Second, the world of the twenty-first century has changed significantly, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. How the players in the region - who themselves have undergone many changes - perceive and respond to the interaction between the two titans are important questions for scholars of Sino-US relations. It is precisely these questions that this volume seeks to shed light on. It explores selected themes in Sino-US relations in the new century and examines how players in the region, as individuals or as blocs, act upon or react to the interaction between the two giants. 314 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In Plato's Symposium, Socrates says that the true poet must be tragic and comic at the same time, and the whole of human life must be felt as a blend of tragedy and comedy. The present collection of essays investigates the presence of comic and tragic elements in Irish literature. The works by Irish authors, be they classical or contemporary, capture the struggles of the lives of individuals and communities in Ireland. Irish literature in various ways deals with the tragic and complex past of the country, as well as an equally interesting present. The irony of the art is always subliminally filled with tragic overtones. Irish literature most commonly presents life's ironies as inseparably linked with the personal tragedies of the characters. In literature, life is sometimes described, sometimes reflected in a distorted mirror. In reality, just as Plato claims, Irish literature appears as a blend of tragedy and comedy.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 304 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book contains eight studies on Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), with work by FDG's foremost proponents, who provide both an introduction to the theory and a glimpse of current research projects. FDG derives its name from taking the discourse act as the basic unit of linguistic analysis. Each such unit receives four parallel analyses displaying its interpersonal, representational, morphosyntactic and phonological characteristics respectively. What is striking about the emergence of FDG is that it enters into lively debate with various other contemporary frameworks that share its functionalist orientation. This facet of FDG is highlighted in this book, every chapter of which brings out the interconnectedness of current theoretical trends. 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book focuses on the oeuvre of nineteenth-century author and naval captain Julien Viaud (1850-1923) who wrote under the pseudonym Pierre Loti. Considered a best-seller in his day and a distinguished naval figure, Loti's contribution to French naval and literary history is significant. This work suggests a new reading of Loti's literature that positions his texts within the critical theoretical paradigms of Postcolonialism and Queer Theory. This study examines both Loti's fictional and non-fictional opus. It explores the dominant themes relayed throughout his oeuvre including his portrayal of exotic sexuality as being underpinned by a desire to elude articulation, his uncertain approach to colonialism given the constant shift between his identity as a colonising sailor and sympathising exoticist and Loti's own self-representation in both his fictional and non-fictional works. His constant re-invention of «Pierre Loti» as a persona in his writing creates a question about who Loti really is and how much of the man is represented in the so-called autobiographical text. These seemingly disparate themes of sexuality, colonialism and personal identity are all interrogated as posssible sites of ambiguity, thus revealing the general scope and complexity of Loti's work. 324 pp. Englisch.

An der Seite der Siegermächte aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hervorgegangen, versuchte das agrarische Entwicklungsland nach 1945 während des Ost-West-Gegensatzes den wirtschaftlichen Aufbau durch Industrialisierung und Erleichterung des Agrarexports zu forcieren und damit seinen außenpolitischen Spielraum auf der Weltbühne zu verbreitern. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland schien dabei ein geeigneter Partner zu sein, den die Regierung in Rio für den notwendigen Kapital- und Technologie-Import zu gewinnen suchte. Angesichts der Priorität der Beziehungen zu den Vereinigten Staaten in der Außenpolitik der Bundesrepublik hatte diese Politik nur begrenzten Erfolg.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 340 pp. Englisch.
