Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Urban High School Students and the Challenge of Access documents a year in the life of five adolescents preparing for college. The text examines the different pathways that brought these students to where they are: living in poverty, attending overcrowded schools, and the pressure to be the first in their families to attend college are just a few of the challenges these students must battle en route to college, and that impact their chances of success once there. Their stories provide insight for practitioners and policy makers working to improve college access at urban high schools.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the powerful role of popular culture in the daily online literacy practices of young people. Whether as subject matter, discourse, or through rhetorical patterns, popular culture dominates both the form and the content of online reading and writing.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -More than 50 years after Canada played an instrumental role in its inception, peacekeeping has once again returned to the center of the national foreign policy debate. Having participated in every peacekeeping operation set up during the Cold War and lived through the fundamental changes the activity has undergone in the 1990s, Ottawa is currently struggling to define a viable approach to peacekeeping for the 21st century. As a timely contribution to this effort, the study reveals the overt and subtle ways in which Canadäs commitment to peacekeeping has contributed to the promotion of vital national interests in the past and might continue to do so in the future. 138 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book was awarded The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand Book Prize in 2010.Art continues to bemuse and confuse many people today. Yet, its critical analyses are saturated with daunting analyses of contemporary art¿s exhaustion, its predictability or its absorption into global commercial culture. In this book, the author seeks to clarify this apprehensive perception of art. He argues it is a consequence not only of confounding art-works, but also of the paradoxical impetus of a culture of modernity. By positively reassessing the perplexing or apprehensive features of cultural modernity as well as of aesthetic inquiry, this book rede¿nes the ambitions of art in the wake of this legacy. In the process, it challenges many familiar approaches to art inquiry in order to offer a new understanding of the aesthetic, social and cultural aspirations of art in our time.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Three institutions that are of particular importance to Basque history and culture form the main subject of this book: the baserria (the Basque farmstead), the cofradía (the fraternity of fishermen) and the txoko (gastronomic society). In this study the three institutions are seen as windows; once we look through these windows, we get an opportunity to see the larger picture ¿ namely the structural components of a rich plebeian culture and moral economy. While the investigation of baserri culture provides insights into Basque rural life and the radical changes that occurred with industrialization, the cofradía allows the reader to see the connection that the Basque Country has with the sea. The third institution, the txoko or sociedad gastronómica, represents a more recent and urban phenomenon and reflects an effort to come to terms with urbanization and the anonymous forms of modern life. The book closes with some reflections on cultures that have been somewhat reluctant to modernize.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Recent developments in international economics have resulted in a research agenda labelled as the «New Open Economy Macroeconomics» (NOEM). This book provides a description of the baseline model and discusses open questions in the literature. Two price setting assumptions can be distinguished, the producer currency price setting and the local currency price setting with crucial difference according to the transmission process. The study examines the presence of either price setting assumptions on an empirical basis, the analysis of German exporters and the reaction of import prices in response to exchange rate changes. Finally the traditional NOEM model structure is enriched by introducing foreign direct investment effects. 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores how learners¿ personalities influence foreign language learning in Japan. In particular, this volume investigates three main research questions: What are the learning strategies generally employed by Japanese college students What are the characteristic learning strategies of extroverts and introverts Do extroversion and introversion have an impact on English listening proficiency In the analysis carried out in the volume, both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used. As regards the former, various types of questionnaires have been employed, measuring strategy use, personality characteristics, and English proficiency. As regards the latter, the strategies students use both in the classroom and in a tutorial learning situation have been observed, integrated with interviews with the students themselves regarding their use of learning strategies. In the last part of the book, the pedagogical implications of this study are examined with suggestions for both teachers and learners.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This is a study in the field of comparative philosophy of religion. It initiates a dialogue between St Augustine and R¿m¿nuja by focusing on two central themes ¿ time and embodiment ¿ that play a crucial role in their thought. The elaborations of these two themes by St Augustine and R¿m¿nuja have continued to exert a tremendous influence on the histories of European thought and of Hindu movements centred around the notion of bhakti. The examination of the symbolism through which these thinkers articulate their understanding of time and embodiment also challenges certain stereotypes related to classical Indian thought and Latin Christendom, such as the former¿s lack of historical consciousness and the latter¿s denigration of the human body. This study shows how the ¿west¿ and ¿east¿ have traditionally engaged with concepts such as temporality, progress and the metaphysical status of finite and bio-physical reality.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This collection of essays stems from the conference ¿Nineteenth-Century Literature and Aesthetics¿, which was held at the University of Milan in 2006 and organised by the editors of this volume. The interface between word and image covered in these essays embraces the fields of literature, architecture, painting, photography, music and art criticism. The authors stress the role of aesthetics in a number of contexts ranging from the early 1830s to the fin de siècle and beyond, as far as the last influences of Victorian taste on the early years of the twentieth century.During the nineteenth century the ancient interaction between literature and aesthetics was challenged and criticised by Martineau, Rossetti, Ruskin, Pater, Wilde, Beardsley, Cameron and Carroll, among others: their awareness of the complexity of visual perception problematised the existing categories of realism, artistic conventions, discourse of description, translation and representation.The essays cover almost a century of debate between literature and aesthetics. They focus on the intersection of word and image by emphasising transgressions in art hierarchies, forms and languages, which restyle existing categories and project them into new aesthetic dimensions beyond the conventional idea of the sister arts. 328 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -What can we learn from children traversing the liminal and transient time-space of migration How do migrant children and their caretakers navigate educational systems in Europe today How is it to be captive in an inner city classroom How do children¿s body language and verbal dominant languages interface How does a child become mediator between their family and the educational institutions This anthropologically grounded study, integrated by ethnographic film excerpts and based on a culturally-reflexive approach to the use of media in the research practices, explores the transcultural experience of migrant children between 6 and 13 years, by closely analysing the particular codes, rhythms and practices of educational systems in Ireland and France. The children¿s experiences are represented in both the film sequences and the written text, in the form of their personal, shared viewpoints about cultural diversity, biographical accounts and social practices in the family and at school. These are experiences which they have worked through, from a time preceding migration and to the present. The film captures the sensibilities of migrant children and invites the reader/viewer to embark on these somewhat uneven paths.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Federico De Robertös work fascinated later Sicilian writers, from Luigi Pirandello to Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Leonardo Sciascia and Vincenzo Consolo, but among critics the picture is different. Only now is his work enjoying a critical revival, after being underestimated for more than a century. This collection of essays offers new critical approaches to his work, traces its reception, analyses his enduring reputation among creative writers and proposes readings of his major novels. The volume concludes with an analysis of Roberto Faenzäs recent (2007) screenplay of De Robertös novel The Viceroys, and an interview with Faenza along with press reviews of his film.Il fascino esercitato da Federico De Roberto su scrittori siciliani quali Luigi Pirandello, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Leonardo Sciascia, Vincenzo Consolo è incontestabile. Ciononostante, la ricezione critica della sua opera è stata ingiustamente tiepida. Solo oggi la sua opera registra un revival critico, dopo essere stata sottovalutata per più di un secolo. I contributi qui raccolti perlustrano nuovi approcci interpretativi, con attenzione anche alla storia della ricezione tra altri autori, e propongono letture inedite dei romanzi principali. Il volume si chiude con un¿analisi della sceneggiatura del recente I Vicerè (2007) di Roberto Faenza, un¿intervista al regista e una ricognizione del dibattito italiano sul film.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 340 pp. Englisch, Italienisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book was awarded the W. K. Hancock Prize of the Australian Historical Association in 2010.Why are women turning their back on feminism This book examines the rise and fall of feminism in the public imagination in the last twenty years, and explains why ¿feminism failed me¿ has become the catch-cry of a generation. Today many women feel betrayed by the promises of feminism and are looking for liberation through ¿raunch culture¿ or as ¿yummy mummies¿ and ¿domestic goddesses¿. Yet during the 1980s the popular ideal of the ¿Superwoman¿ offered a source of empowerment and pride for women and equality with men ¿ even ¿having it all¿ ¿ seemed possible. Through a close reading of popular culture sources, this book shows how women¿s engagement with feminism has shifted over time, and considers its future as a social movement.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Discourses of eating and drinking are situated at the crossroads of everyday language, advertising and special language discourse, media (internet, TV, opera, etc.) and literature. Dish names mirror contacts of cultures, but they also act as an advertising vehicle in menus. Restaurant reviews, dinner conversations and wine labels transport stereotypes such as the home made- or the country-of-origin effect and the ethics of eating and drinking ranges from health issues to animal protection. Essens- und Trinkensdiskurse stehen im Schnittpunkt von Alltagssprache, Werbe- und Fachdiskursen, Medien (Internet, Fernsehen, Oper, etc.) und Literatur. Speisennamen spiegeln Kulturkontakte, sind aber auch Werbeträger in Speisekarten; Gastronomiekritiken, Tischgespräche, Weinetiketten transportieren Stereotypen wie den Hausgemacht- oder den Ursprungsland-Effekt; von Gesundheit bis Tierschutz reicht schließlich die Ethik des Essens und Trinkens. 406 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Quality assurance has been a major issue in Higher Education discourse during the past decade. Evaluations, accreditations and assessments have almost become standard procedures within the framework of translation studies. This quest for quality has not only to integrate market needs and new market requirements, but also novel strategies in training ¿ whereby training learners and trainers has to be given equal attention. Translation quality has become a key issue in the interlinguistic and intercultural communication market as well as in the translator education environment. It has to be looked upon as a multifaceted issue to which all major players have to contribute: institutes of higher education, labor market and individual translators. Within the framework of the CIUTI FORUM 2008, the speakers emphasized the different aspects of quality from the point of view of the trainer, the professional and the market. This volume tries to highlight all those quality issues from an international, interdisciplinary and multifaceted perspective.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 422 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -En torno al 1900, la literatura alemana experimentó el que sería el des-pegue definitivo hacia la modernidad y la influencia universal. Es la época de publicación de Los Buddenbrook, la época en que Schnitzler aporta ¿ antes que Joyce ¿ el monólogo interior a la literatura, la época en que Robert Walser abre nuevos caminos conceptuales, que Kafka seguirá poco después.Este volumen recorre el apasionante periplo de las letras alemanas desde ese amanecer del siglo XX a los albores del XXI, a través del examen de la obra tanto de autores bien conocidos como de otros olvidados del siglo, como Gustav Regler o Egon Erwin Kisch, y en general de toda la galaxia antifascista, o de autores tan indiscutibles como postergados, como el genial e inconveniente Wolfgang Koeppen, hasta llegar al discutido Nobel de Elfriede Jelinek.El volumen hace una aproximación fundamentalmente literaria a esos autores, pero no ignora la importancia del marco histórico, la ubicación de los autores en el sistema literario alemán y europeo o su importancia en el sistema literario español, al que muchos de ellos han llegado recientemente y sobre los que pocos textos hablan hasta la fecha.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 122 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A mediados de los 90, Thomas Brussig sorprende a la crítica con Helden wie wir, una «novela política con medios sexuales». La obra del autor atestigua un nuevo sentir a nivel social, personal y literario que sustenta un relevo generacional, pues reacciona contra una generación de padres e intelectuales que fracasó en su compromiso social. En este contexto, Brussig exige una revisión de los pilares del debate en torno a la Unificación que provoque un enfrentamiento sincero a la propia culpa en el sistema de la RDA como requisito para afrontar los retos del presente. Su obra clave, Helden wie wir, parte de modelos literarios angloamericanos y aborda estos temas a través de un entramado alegórico y grotesco encauzado a la desmitificación tanto de las supuestas bondades del sistema como de la Unificación como acto heroico, para revelar que el socialismo de la RDA fue un sistema perverso y que todos sus ciudadanos contribuyeron a sus 40 años de existencia. 218 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Innovative Wege zur Eindämmung häuslicher Gewalt in der Euroregion Neiße zu entwickeln, war neben der Ermittlung des Iststands Anliegen einer Fachtagung des TRAWOS-Instituts der Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz und des GÜSA e.V. Die ungebrochene Relevanz des Themas äußert sich in der unvermindert hohen Anzahl von in Frauenhäusern Schutz suchenden Frauen und Kindern. In keinem der drei Länder gelang es bisher, das Ausmaß häuslicher Gewalt zu reduzieren, Gewalt an Frauen und Kindern stellt in jedem dieser Länder ein brisantes Problem dar. Während das Hilfesystem in Deutschland im europäischen Vergleich am besten ausgebaut ist, steht man in Polen und Tschechien eher am Anfang. Gleichwohl gibt es auch hier innovative Ansätze zur Eindämmung häuslicher Gewalt. Neben Beratungsstellen, Frauenhäusern, Täterprogrammen und Öffentlichkeitskampagnen das Gemeinwesen in Hilfe- und Kontrollmaßnahmen einzubinden, stellt eine wünschenswerte Entwicklung dar. Alle Beiträge werden auch in polnischer und tschechischer Übersetzung wiedergegeben. 96 pp. Deutsch, Russisch.

Die konsequent durchgeführte Tonalitätslehre und die Bestimmung der realen Tonart ermöglichen eine Analyse, die ¿ zum ersten Mal ¿ für alle Epochen und Stilrichtungen vergleichbar wird. 124 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Autor arbeitet in dieser Studie erstmals detailliert die verschiedenen Akteure der friedlichen Revolution 1989/90 in der Stadt Halle/Saale heraus und legt die handlungsleitenden Motive der Mitglieder der Friedens-, Umwelt- und Menschenrechtsgruppen aber auch der SED-Führung in der damaligen Bezirksstadt offen. Anhand zahlreicher Dokumente aus öffentlichen und privaten Archiven rekonstruiert der Verfasser die dramatischen Ereignisse aus historisch-wissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die SED-Führung die gesellschaftspolitische Krise im Herbst 1989 gegen den Willen vieler einfacher SED-Mitglieder zunächst gewaltsam lösen wollte. Im Schluss liefert er unter Zuhilfenahme der Revolutionstheorie von Hannah Arendt einen Beitrag zur Beantwortung der Frage: Was heißt friedliche Revolution 210 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Qualitative Forschung ist heute ein fester Bestandteil der aktualempirischen Sozial- und Erziehungswissenschaft. Mit ihrem Anspruch, die Sicht der Beforschten zur Grundlage von wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen werden zu lassen, stellt sie derzeit in der Fremdsprachenerwerbsforschung einen favorisierten Forschungsansatz dar.
