Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'This excellent volume-the first book-length study in English on Despentes's writing-is rich, timely and insightful. Schaal's rigorous analysis contextualises Despentes's work carefully in relation to contemporary writing and thought, highlighting its intersections with gender theory, in particular. The book is the fruit of extensive knowledge of Despentes's work across several media and will be of interest to students and scholars in gender studies, literary studies and contemporary cultural studies.' (Professor Natalie Edwards, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Professor of Literature in French, University of Bristol)'Schaal's academic treatment of Despentes's work manages to maintain the appealing edge of the author's approach while exercising impressive critical astuteness. The book is thoughtfully considered: from the Reflexivity and Positionality Statement that opens the book to the pedagogically minded vast bibliography at the end. Grrrl Writing will appeal to scholars and students interested in Despentes, French feminisms, political fiction, and women writers in an increasingly self-reflexive literary economy.' (Anne Brancky, Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies, Vassar College)'Schaal offers us a very exhaustive study of Despentes's novels from Baise-moi to Cher connard. The author engages with all current criticism (in French and English) to demonstrate the evolution of the politics and aesthetics of protest that Despentes's novels perform. Questions of social vulnerability and fragility assigned by (sexual or racial) identities are at the center of Schaal's reflections. This book is a must-read if you want to undertake research on the author Despentes and the French feminist protest novel.' (Catherine Mavrikakis, Professor, Département des littératures de langue française, Université de Montreal)When Virginie Despentes (1969) published her provocative debut novel Baise-moi [Rape Me] in 1994, no one could have anticipated how she would gradually become a literary, feminist, and punk icon. This book is the first to adopt a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to Despentes's novels and evolution as an author.Using feminist, queer, literary, and punk theories, the book examines how Despentes has developed and refined her Grrrl writing in Baise-moi, Les Chiennes savantes [The Learned Bitches, 1996], and Les Jolies choses [Pretty Things, 1998]. The study specifically illustrates how her unique authorial politics, infused with punk, genre- and genderbending praxes, have provided an acerbic critique of a still largely heteropatriarchal French society. Despentes's Grrrl writing denounces how heteropatriarchy engenders and thrives on injustice and social inequities, but also how conventions at play in classic or populist literary genres can perpetuate oppression as well. 278 pp. Englisch.

They enjoyed success on concert and variety stages, in theatre and film, and in recordings, and were painted by Max Oppenheimer. Forced into exile by the Nazis' seizure of power, the group, consisting mainly of Jewish musicians, was initially able to continue to perform under difficult conditions in Europe, the Soviet Union and Japan, before temporarily finding a new home in Australia in 1937. The Second World War and internment ended their career. This comprehensive book on the subject, published for the first time in English, traces the fascinating artistic development and moving lives of the Weintraubs Syncopators. The accompanying website brings the versatile art of this jazz band to life in annotated audio and video files. 340 pp. Englisch.

But was COVID such a historical event Has the COVID generation been born or have we reached a latent, multi-outcome state Although the pandemic and the heightened social reflection associated with it have subsided, its scientific, particularly sociological, lessons are far from complete. Within the framework of current generational logic in sociology, a key question arises: how did young people experience and navigate the three years defined by COVID, and will today's youth cohorts organically form a distinct generation The authors are youth researchers from several social sciences. The uniqueness of their research lies partly in its content: while it focuses on the Hungarian context, no comparable comprehensive study is known in the social sciences. It is also unique in methodology, employing a combination of focus groups, big data-based social listening techniques, and surveys. 276 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In an increasingly interconnected world, the ideas of democracy, social justice, and human rights have become integral to the ideologies and operations of institutions at both national and global levels. India is frequently hailed as the largest democracy in the world because of its stable electoral system, which enables recurrent elections at all governmental levels. Nevertheless, in recent years, debates around democracy, social justice, and human rights in India have intensified, fueled by contentious issues such as gendered rights, caste marginalization, environmental justice, and the erosion of democratic norms. While India has made significant strides in certain areas, there is still much attention to be paid to address systemic inequalities, protect fundamental rights, and strengthen democratic institutions to ensure the inclusive and equitable development of all its citizens. In this context, this book proposes an integrated approach to further democratization through these endeavors. 258 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book delves into how migration is depicted through multilingual discourses, blending corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis. Emerging from a colloquium at Jaume I University in Castellón (Spain), it links translation studies, migration, and discourse analysis, revealing migration as more than physical movement. It is a cultural, ideological process rooted in language. Through four sections, it examines migration's complexities: theoretical frameworks, multilingual political discourse, grassroots narratives, and methodological advances like MD-CADS. Key themes include ideological framing of concepts like 'diversity' and 'security,' the clash between global mobility and restrictive policies, and challenges such as climate-induced migration and digital misinformation. This work challenges dominant narratives, urging nuanced understanding of migration's global impact. 316 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the search for authenticity in the work of Jack Kerouac in the context of postwar American capitalism and the rise of the spectacle as a dominant mode of social mediation. It examines how Kerouac's experimental prose, spiritual inquiry, and relational aesthetics function as strategies of resistance to cultural homogenization, existential alienation, and hyper-individualism. Drawing from philosophy, anthropology, media theory, cognitive and evolutionary science, and narratology, the study traces how Kerouac reimagines American identity through encounters with the Other, esoteric forms of knowledge, and intersubjective experience. Combining close textual analysis with a broad interdisciplinary lens, it considers how Kerouac's liminal position-as both insider and outsider-enables a unique literary response to the anxieties of his time. By placing Kerouac in dialogue with thinkers such as Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and C. G. Jung, this book sheds new light on the aesthetic, philosophical, and political dimensions of his work. 346 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -African Pentecostals in the Diaspora explores the theology of mission in the context of African Pentecostals in the diaspora, using the Apostolic Faith Mission in the United Kingdom as a case study. Author Solomon Kgatle develops a Pentecostal theology of diaspora mission using a pneumatological missional imagination as a theoretical framework. This framework is developed using the theories of pneumatological imagination, missiological spirit and missional imagination. The pneumatological missional approach is proposed for missionpraxis such as praise and worship to accommodate believers beyond African migrants. The book makes a conceptual contribution to the theology of mission through analysis of the African Pentecostal diaspora mission. The book also makes a theoretical contribution by bringing pneumatological missional imagination to existing theories of pneumatological imagination, missiological spirit and missional imagination. The book will be vital reading for both practitioners of mission in African Pentecostal churches and missiologists in Africa and the diaspora.'The pneumatological imagination concept inspired by the Day of Pentecost narrative and growing in prominence among Pentecostal theologians is here developed in a missiological direction. If the Lukan horizons extended from Jerusalem to the ends of the Earth, the trajectory in these pages is from the farthermost regions of the southern hemisphere to the highest extents of the global north. Solomon Kgatle's latest in a series of wide-ranging books hereby not only enriches the global Pentecostal theological conversation but expands his multidisciplinary repertoire as a missiologist. ' - Amos Yong, Professor of Theology and Mission, Fuller Seminary. 'Solomon Kgatle has done the world church a huge favour by placing Pentecostal pneumatological theology in dialogue with the missional church movement and contextual theology. His approach, which includes an important fieldwork case study, is fresh and illuminating. Overall the book has serious implications for Pentecostals and others undertaking missions in the diaspora.'-Dr. Nigel Rooms, Co-Editor of Ecclesial Futures Journal'An enlightening exploration of African Pentecostals in the diaspora, with the Apostolic Faith Mission in the UK serving as a case study, this book masterfully intertwines contextual, conceptual, and theoretical frameworks. By integrating the pneumatological imagination, missiological spirit and missional imagination, it offers a ground-breaking pneumatological Pentecostal theology of diaspora mission. Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary theological studies, missiology, and church growth.' - Josh Chigorimbo, Vice President of the Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries, United Kingdom. 226 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Although the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century AD, medieval European culture was born from the ruins of its civilisation. In the field of wisdom, the Latin literary tradition accompanied and guided the different kingdoms in formation. This volume brings together the contributions of eight specialists on the survival of a literary motif in the Middle Ages and on seven ancient authors: the Trojan Materia, Aristotle, Diogenes of Sinope, Cicero, Valerius Maximus, Seneca, Boethius and Isidore of Seville, so that a panoramic view can be obtained of the influence of the ancient world on the European Middle Ages. The fruit of this collective work aims to be a useful tool for a university or specialised public that needs an up-to-date general picture of the reception and use of the classics in the Middle Ages, as it synthesises previous knowledge, presents new points of view and provides an updated state of the art for each of the subjects dealt with.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 340 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Depuis plusieurs décennies, on assiste dans de nombreux secteurs à l'instauration graduelle de l'accompagnement comme dispositif et comme activité principale ou secondaire. En se répandant comme nouvelle modalité de relation à autrui en situation professionnelle, il bouleverse les repères des acteurs, d'une part, au regard de leurs anciennes pratiques de prise en charge et, d'autre part, en raison du retour de la question sociale et de la multiplication des situations de vulnérabilité.

Neuware -If we accept the adage 'he who knows one, knows none' as an epistemological concept, then the exploration of pluralism becomes an intellectual necessity. And if we take the commonplace description of Hinduism as a plural tradition as an accurate phenomenological description of it, then the need to study Hindu pluralism becomes obvious both as a general principle and as a specific feature.This book is devoted to a further exploration of Hindu pluralism in its philosophical and historical dimensions.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 174 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Der Band versammelt aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten zum Thema 'Sprachausbau'. Die einzelnen Beiträge gewähren Einblicke in ein Forschungsfeld, das sich mit der bildungssprachlichen Entwicklung aus linguistischer, gesellschaftspolitischer und sprachphilosophischer Perspektive befasst. Einen Einblick in die Vielschichtigkeit dieses Feldes liefert ein ausführliches Interview mit Utz Maas, der den Ausbau-Begriff in seinen Arbeiten ausgeschärft und für die weitere Forschung produktiv gemacht hat. Aktuelle Fragestellungen zum Sprachausbau betreffen unter anderem die lebensweltliche Mehrsprachigkeit im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Kompetenzanforderungen, individuelle Erwerbsprozesse im Spannungsfeld der Registervarietäten sowie Sprachausbau in vielsprachigen sozialen Räumen. Da sprachliche Bildung ganz überwiegend durch die Schule gesteuert wird, bildet sie die gemeinsame Klammer der hier versammelten Aufsätze. 200 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Trotz rechtlicher Fortschritte bleibt effektiver Diskriminierungsschutz häufig lückenhaft - insbesondere dort, wo strukturelle Ungleichbehandlungen nicht durch individuell Betroffene gerichtlich geltend gemacht werden können. Diese Arbeit widmet sich der Frage, ob und wie ein Verbandsklagerecht im Antidiskriminierungsrecht zur Schließung dieser Schutzlücke beitragen kann.Die Arbeit analysiert bestehende Klagemodelle in verschiedenen Rechtsbereichen - vom Verbraucher- über das Wettbewerbs- bis hin zum Umweltrecht - und prüft, welche ihrer Strukturprinzipien sich für eine Übertragung auf das Antidiskriminierungsrecht eignen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Fallkonstellationen ohne individuelle Klageberechtigung, etwa diskriminierende Stellenanzeigen. Auf dieser Grundlage schlägt die Arbeit ein eigenständiges Verbandsklagerecht vor, das Verbände befähigt, auch ohne individuelle Betroffenheit selbstständig Klage zu erheben, ergänzt durch die Einführung der Prozessstandschaftsbefugnis für einzelfallbezogene Verbandsklagen. 240 pp. Deutsch.
