Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Strafvollzug hat zwei Aufgaben zu erfüllen: Er soll die Gefangenen resozialisieren und zugleich die Allgemeinheit vor weiteren Straftaten schützen. Dabei gelten Vollzugslockerungen als Kernelement eines auf (Re-)Sozialisierung ausgerichteten Strafvollzugs. Wie keine andere Behandlungsmaßnahme spiegeln sie jedoch den immanenten Zielkonflikt zwischen dem individuellen Resozialisierungsinteresse des Gefangenen am Erhalt von Lockerungen und dem kollektiven Schutzinteresse wider. Die Autorin fokussiert die Öffnung des Strafvollzugs durch Vollzugslockerungen und erörtert deren historische, normative, empirische und vollzugspraktische Grundlagen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die gerichtliche Überprüfung der vollzugsbehördlichen Lockerungsentscheidung und ihrer Implementierung gerichtet. 380 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This second volume in the Hip-Hop Education series highlights knowledge of self as the fifth and often forgotten element of hip-hop. In many cases, a connection to hip-hop culture is one that has been well embedded in the identity of hip-hop educators. Historically, academic spaces have had misperceptions and misunderstand the authentic culture of hip-hop, often forcing hip-hop educators to abandon their authentic hip-hop selves to align themselves to the traditions of academia. This edited series highlights the realities of hip-hop educators who grapple with cultivating and displaying themselves authentically in practice and offers examples of how hip-hop can be utilized in educational spaces to promote social justice. It provides narratives of graduate students, practitioners, junior and senior scholars who all identify as part of hip-hop. The chapters in this text explore the intersections of the authors' lived experiences, hip-hop, theory, praxis and social justice. 168 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 1719, the former secretary of State and famous English writer Joseph Addison passed away and was burried in Westminster Abbey among the great national poets. A few decades later, the great lexicographer Samuel Johnson defined Joseph Addison's prose style as the quintessence of Englishness in his Lives of the English Poets. This selection of essays ambitions to celebrate the tercentenary of his death by showing that Addison was part of the European as much as the English Enlightenment. It explores how European countries and cultures played a decisive, if somewhat ambiguous role in his career and writing. It finally offers insights of Addison's huge literary and journalistic legacy in Europe. 180 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The contributions collected in this volume are linked by a common thread: the development of Africa is a problem that must be faced and solved by the peoples of the continent, with the aim of consolidating democracy and guaranteeing a future of growth and progressive improvement in the quality of life. However, Europe has a role and a responsibility in this process: after having imposed on Africa the model of the bureaucratic and centralized national state, Europe today can represent a model of integration, on the economic field and, in perspective, on the political terrain. Beyond this, Europe must offer a partnership with the African Union to start a Green New Deal for Europe and Africa together, with the allocation of financial resources, but also technology transfers and infrastructure creation. But in this partnership for growth the initiative must be entrusted to African countries, as was the case for Europe in the case of the Marshall Plan. Europe must impose as a sole condition that their plan be drawn up in common and placed in the perspective of strengthening the process of economic and political integration already started on the Continent. 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Religious and cultural diversity are increasingly visible today. At the same time, increased fear of the «other» has manifested, particularly of the Islamic religion. Islam today is considered a «problematic» religion. This attitude yields many challenges in universities and schools, particularly when it comes to religious education. The Institute for Islamic Theology and Religious Education and the Catholic Religious Education Department at the University of Innsbruck are addressing these challenges, having spearheaded a program of intensive cooperation in teacher education - including courses on pedagogy, religious didactics, internships, and evidence-based learning processes in schools and universities.This research and teaching collaboration lacked an appropriate framework. This book provides a solid basis for interreligious pedagogy and didactics. Authentic interreligious cooperation begins by promoting intra- and inter-religious self-confidence and self-understanding. This required countless discussions among the authors, which yielded distinct viewpoints as well as commonalities. In this way the anthropological starting point for this book emerged and is expanded through a theological perspective on religious education and didactics. Various approaches and attitudes are developed and examined, including contingency sensibility, to support the competent planning, management, and evaluation of educational processes in pluralistic and heterogeneous fields. 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An anthology of essays devoted to the examination of filmmaker Julie Dash's ground-breaking film, Daughters of the Dust, this book celebrates the importance and influence of this film and positions it within the discourses of Black Feminism, Womanism, the LA Rebellion, New Black Cinema, Great Migration, The Black Arts tradition, Oral History, African American/Black/African diasporan Studies, and Black film/cinema studies. Employing a transdisciplinary approach to examining the film, the anthology includes chapters which examine unique aspects/themes of the film. At the core of each chapter, however, is a recognition of the influence of Black feminist/Womanist theory and politics and African American history-from enslavement to freedom/Reconstruction, Black political identity and liberation movement(s)-and African/ African diasporan cosmology on Dash's work and how all work in concert in her masterful narrative of Black family, 20th Black women's identities, and the tension between modernity/tradition experienced by Gullah-Geechee people at the turn of the 20th century. 196 pp. Englisch.

And once we see it, we can never go back to not seeing it. Meaning (making), understanding (the 'right' and the 'wrong' things), relating (to the world and to each other) - it all starts with us.Nobody has lived this more colourfully than Michèle Cooke, whose work the contributors to this book celebrate by showing what translating our truths is - and can be - all about. 126 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In an age when young people may confuse online chatter with legitimate news, Navigating the News is the first textbook designed to show students how to recognize credible reporting and how real journalists perform their jobs.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book integrates the three fields critical theory, digital art making, and pedagogy, drawing from scholarship and practices of new media, social practice and community-based arts interventions, and arts education pedagogy. With a collection of essays from an international group of authors, we guide readers through steps artists and art educators use to explore digital media, using new media art making to enable voices and interrupt power structures. The three sections of formation, co-construction, and intervention through critical digital practice, provide a survey of current research in new media art pedagogy and social practice. The first section explores interaction techniques, sound technology, 3D printing, pedagogy as sociomaterial, and data visualization as forms of critical digital media. The second section demonstrates examples of social media as means to engage communities and digital art making to critically investigate citizenship, local and international issues, and bring together intergenerational conversation. The last section offers examples of new media art practices addressing the sociopolitical status quo to empower socially disadvantaged and relegated groups of people.Our collection offers an important survey to university new media art and social practice courses to show the range of ways media arts technology can be used in art practice. 272 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Every language universe is both close to and far removed from our own. In a way, learning a foreign language is like not getting off at our usual stop and staying on the bus until we arrive at the terminal. The unfamiliar neighborhoods we discover are both similar to and different from what we know. Learners tackle an L2 using a variety of experiences acquired in their L1, and this new language system works as part of a network of previously existing grammar models and social categories.The purpose of this book is not to revisit the pros and cons of teaching grammar. Learning an L2 appears as the gradual ability to realize which language features to select and prioritize to express a particular idea. Speaking in any L2 requires specific tools, and describing reality through new linguistic means involves a mental restructuring to which learners-particularly adults and older adolescents-are sometimes resistant. Indeed, not all information produced in an L2 and disclosed to the learners will necessarily be applied to language acquisition. If, by some miracle, this were the case, there would be no need for any reflection on the teaching and learning of grammar. 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A compelling contribution to the largely understudied field of Latinx theatre, this book unpacks new developments in the Latinx and American cultural landscape registered by contemporary plays inspired and based on Greek tragic myths. It examines dramatic revisions of the myths of Medea, Oedipus, Electra, and Iphigenia by notable playwrights Carlos Morton, Cherríe Moraga, Luis Alfaro, and Caridad Svich for what they reveal about the increasingly complex, diverse, and globalized Latinidades of the post-Civil Rights Movement era. Through its discussion of six Greek-inflected mythoplays, the book brings to light emergent and transhemispheric dimensions taken on by mestizaje; the latter construed as an ethos, reality, and discourse central to any conception of Latinidad, however plural. Mestizaje is shown to be tuned to a tragic key in the theatrical corpus of works on which the analysis focuses, and it is to this tragic key that the book attributes the works' singular sociocultural and political import. Emphasis is placed on the tragic mode as a rich source and potent ally in the plays' attempt at configuring and applying a distinct kind of radical politics and a healing function while targeting, principally but not exclusively, Latinx communities of/in crisis-including barrio, LGBTQ+, and borderland communities. By aligning the plays' decolonizing impulse with the productive question mark of the tragic, the book calls attention to the brisk energy that the tragic myth's reception by Latinx theatre infuses into the afterlife of the tragic, as it breaks new, syncretic ground in the latter's reception history and contemporary rethinking. 294 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Albert Schweitzer fut un homme de premier plan dans bien des domaines. Comme théologien, philosophe, musicien et surtout comme médecin, il est universellement connu et entouré d'un véritable mythe. Contrairement à ce qui est communément admis, c'est à Schweitzer lui-même que la construction de ce mythe est pour la plus grande partie redevable. L'essentiel de ce que l'on sait sur la vie et la carrière de l'illustre médecin de la forêt équatoriale a comme source ses écrits autobiographiques. L'originalité de la présente étude est de confronter pour la première fois à la réalité historique les informations livrées par Schweitzer relativement à sa carrière, ses recherches et sa philosophie. De cette confrontation il ressort que, dans bien des cas, Schweitzer se dépeint sous un jour qui est peu conforme à la réalité. 190 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La obra de Eduardo Milán se ha convertido, en los últimos años, en uno de los referentes indiscutibles a la hora de hablar de poesía en español. Su grado de difusión e influencia, a ambos lados del Atlántico, explica que el estudio de la propuesta estética de este autor ocupe un lugar destacado en las investigaciones académicas sobre el hecho poético. En este contexto, el presente libro tiene como principal objetivo proponer un acercamiento crítico a su obra para tratar de comprender el alcance y relevancia de la misma. Ya desde las primeras aproximaciones a su obra, ha quedado patente el hecho de que la escritura de Eduardo Milán trabaja desde la conciencia del abismo que separa el lenguaje y la realidad. Por ello, el primer interrogante al que debe hacerse frente es el de cómo aborda el poeta tal abismo, para así lograr dar cuenta de las problemáticas que ello genera en su poesía. En segundo lugar, ha sido necesario buscar ejes analíticos que permitieran mostrar esos conflictos de modo sistemático. Por esto mismo, la comunicación y el disenso, entendidos por el poeta de modo particular, son los dos núcleos principales del acercamiento. La estructuración planteada aquí no es un punto de partida, sino más bien un camino recorrido, una estructura flexible, abierta e inclusiva. En efecto, en la tarea de abordar una obra que ya inicialmente presenta una clara ausencia de tematización explícita, inestabilidad formal y disposición al cambio se ha hecho indispensable tomar una dirección que permita establecer una pauta de estudio y organización de los resultados. 176 pp. Spanisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -How can it be ensured that vocational education matches the requirements of the increasingly complex world of work In search of a suitable approach, it has become evident that Competence-Based Training cannot provide this service since it focuses on static 'work' instead of encompassing dynamic 'work-processes.' Consequently it is necessary to rely on the analysis of work-processes when designing a detailed curriculum for a digitalized environment and Industry 4.0. The results of the work-process analyses reflect the spectrum of requirements and are applied as the core elements for the shaping of detailed curricula. This ensures a state of the art of curricula and facilitates their swift development in matching changes in the world of work. 224 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book reunites transdisciplinary studies investigating the questions of construction and deconstruction of gender in filmic, literary, and television Romance cultures by referring to a corpus that stretches from plays of travesty in 18th century opera to non-normative masculinities in recent television series. One of this book's main objectives consists in inviting its readers to follow the traces of a transmedial and transnational historiography of media that offers figures of nomadic thinking in order to escape the binary concepts of normative biopolitics and offer instead alternative cartographies of gender and desire. 358 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this book is to show the philosophical and anthropological foundation of the dispute about culture, especially in the perspective of the opposition between high and low culture. By analysing the most important achievements of Western philosophical reflection, from the Greeks and Romans through medieval scholasticism to Christian personalism, the author defends the concept of high culture and reveals its metaphysical significance for the human condition. The book also brings out the meaning of the concept of culture, shedding new light upon the long-disputed philosophical questions: who is the creator and subject of culture, what is culture in its essence, and what is its superior purpose 216 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book focuses on the question of relationality. Despite the numerous motifs introduced to the discourse pertaining to Margaret S. Archer's concept, we notice that some often reappear. What frequently appears is the concept of agency, closely related to the matter of the subject's reflexivity. We also include papers that refer to methodological dilemmas. However, all collected texts directly consider the essence of the concept of the human person and society in reaction to the ontology of the person proposed by Archer. The common thread and horizon of these elaborations is Archer's concept and Pierpaolo Donati's relational sociology. Thus, this publication seeks to gain broader public and open new research perspectives in sociology. 234 pp. Englisch.

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of Vladimir Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading and Bend Sinister, and Jakho's Dispos-sessed by Mikheil Javakhishvili. 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -By examining teenage heritage and convert Buddhist communities in the West through the lens of Psychological Type, this book presents hard evidence from hundreds of self-identifying Buddhists in the UK, that the diversity of Buddhists, previously described in terms of ethnic dichotomy, is better explained in terms of Psychological Type preferences. By moving past biologically determined features such as ethnicity, the book represents a long overdue yardstick for the full spectrum of diversity within the Buddhist community - since Psychological Type preferences, such as the sliding scale of Intuition, give more predictive nuance and avoid orientalist prejudice. The book puts Buddhism on the map of Psychology of Religion by showing the statistical links between personality and more than twenty individual differences, including tendency to meditate or visit the temple. The hermeneutic of intra-Buddhist diversity described in this book, apart from providing a mirror of self-understanding for individual Buddhist practitioners, can be applied by anthropologists of Buddhism, Religious Education stakeholders and chaplains to ensure equality and objectivity in their work. Meanwhile, the book's relatable 'Type Compass' style of graphic presentation represents a common 'language' for religious study that invites comparison between Buddhism and other faith traditions. 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is life is a query that never dies. Most modern-day approaches to this enduring question attempt to define what life is, from the standpoint of science, philosophy, religion, medicine, etc. In this book, the conception of life in Western culture is explored through a host of words that has come down to us from antiquity. The author presents a flowing linguistic view of life from the distant past. The etymologic heritage is traced to ancient Greek - to the philosophical foundation of Western thinking. The author pursues a path into prehistory, looking at the development of words from roots in the Indo-European language family, which includes the classical languages of Greek and Latin, as well as English and many other Eurasian languages - ultimately, in the common ancestral Proto-Indo-European (PIE) tongue. In so doing, one finds a shared lexical genealogy underlying the linguistic source of the Western notions of life. The diversity of word-forms that are associative of life in today's vernacular grew out of a seemingly labyrinthine - though, in reality, a highly integrative - state of comprehension of the affiliation between the mortal human being and the natural environment in the prehistoric PIE civilization. In the logos of ancient Greek thought, emanating from the ancestral mythos of the PIE and early Mediterranean peoples, the ideas of 'life' and 'nature' were fused into a unified vision of existence - as can be seen in the prehistoric origin of the verb be itself. This book concentrates on more than sheer words; it is also on how we - the living, sentient beings that we are - speak of our very being in space and time in the world around us. The birthright of a conjoined sentience of life and nature has branched-out through the ages of Western thinking. The legacy today is a fossilized linguistic Tree of Life, engendering a plurality of words for 'life'; wherein, each of us must create our own meaning of 'life.' 208 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«This book is pertinent reading for anyone interested in understanding how the continuing legacy of the Nazi period shapes the German-speaking world today and affects non-White Germans. Rupprecht's study thus represents a humanistic-political intervention in the face of resurging racism and illusions of racial purity in public discourse that excludes Asian Germans from the nation.» (Sabine von Dirke, German Studies Review, 44.3, Oct. 2021) «Rupprecht takes an important ethical stance and aims to create a discursive space and theoretical framework for racism against East Asians. [.] Rupprecht's call for recognizing that German minorities - Jews, Blacks, or Asians - have 'the right to belong' is especially urgent at a moment when the New Right is on the rise.» (Qinna Shen, Monatshefte, 113.2, 2021) «Rupprechts gelungene Kapitel-Aufteilung in Parallel-, Konvergenz- und Diskordanzbewegungen entspricht folglich dem Kompositionsprinzip der Fuge, jeder Teil ist kontrapunktisch in 'call-and-response' strukturiert. [.] Entscheidend ist allerdings, dass Rupprechts Vorgehensweise maßgebend zu einer vom Nationalterritorium losgelösten, 'kosmopolitischen' Literaturgeschichte beiträgt.» (Linda Koiran, The German Quarterly, 93.4, Fall 2020) «Whereas considerable asymmetries in magnitude between categories of 'the German' and 'the Asian' might intimidate, Rupprecht crafts focused and engrossing sets of literary and artistic, intergenerational and interethnic dialogues to limn resources for (re)imagining integrative possibilities amid existing (East) Asian German cultural connections.» (Matthew D. Miller, Symposium: A Quarterly Journal in Modern Literatures, 75.4, 2021) «Asian Fusion is a remarkably original book that delineates an exciting new field: Asian-German cultural studies. Using an innovative call-and-response model, Rupprecht records the responses of contemporary Asian-German writers to the 'calls' made by a preceding generation of German artists and writers (Joseph Beuys, Peter Weiss, W. G. Sebald) toward Asia. A compelling and authoritative work!» (John Zilcosky, author of Kafka's Travels and Uncanny Encounters: Literature, Psychoanalysis and the End of Alterity) «In Asian Fusion, Caroline Rupprecht ingeniously pairs three postwar German authors who engaged with Asia with three award-winning Asian-German writers, constructing compelling intergenerational dialogues between Sebald and Tawada, Weiss and Pham, and Beuys and Kim. Taking the Shoah as a point of departure and a point of reference, the book shoulders the intellectual as well as ethical responsibilities of addressing racism in Germany. A great read and a major contribution to Asian-German Studies!» (Qinna Shen, Chair and Associate Professor of German, Bryn Mawr College) This book contributes to a historically evolving conversation about immigration as a facet of globalization in the European context. Focusing on literary and artistic works from the post-World War II era, the author uses a «call-and-response» structure - as in African-American slave songs, Indian kirtans, and Jewish liturgy - to create a series of dialogues between Asian-German authors, including Yoko Tawada, Pham Thi Hoài, and Anna Kim, and an earlier generation of German-speaking authors and artists whose works engaged with «Asia,» including W. G. Sebald, Peter Weiss, and Joseph Beuys.Considering the recent successes of the New Right, which have brought about a regression to Nazi anti-Semitic discourses grounded in the equation between Jews and «Orientals,» the author advocates a need for solidarity between Germans and Asian-Germans. Using «fusion» as a metaphor, she revises the critical paradigms of Orientalism and postcolonial studies to show how, in the aftermath of the twelve-year Nazi dictatorship, 276 pp. Englisch.
