This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines novels by women from the anglophone, francophone, and hispanophone Caribbean that focus on marginalized female characters who migrate to metropolitan centers. The novels studied require cultural, historical, sociological, anthropological, and geographic readings to fully explore the complexity of the characters as they confront the varied and changing challenges, hardships, and pleasures of the diaspora. The critical approach focuses on the characters' attempts to hold on to acceptable realities by assuming the appropriate interpersonal, social, and cultural masks that allow them to find a sense of significance in their interior, domestic, and community lives. 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Classroom Teaching is an introductory text that challenges the antiquated ways that teaching and curriculum have been presented. By adding chapters to Joe L. Kincheloe's original volume, this second edition gives a fresh, politicized viewpoint of power and politics in an era of corporatized education. The authors set the scene to introduce cutting-edge notions of teaching, knowledge-making, and ways of seeing the world. The essays included in this second edition of Classroom Teaching present a critical pedagogical approach to a socially-just praxis of schooling and being in schools. This edition also includes essential essays on diversity, sexuality, and media which are contemporaneous with today's concerns in society. Pre-service teachers, interns, and teacher educators in North America will find Classroom Teaching engaging and unique as they commit to an informed vision of educating our children and youth. 232 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The enactment of humanity begins with experiences and culminates in the effects of coping with experiences. Experience confirms the human potential, but indicates also its limitations, both in the sense that the absence of experiences undermines established modes of behavior, and that disregard and misunderstanding of experiences lead to distorted forms of personal and cultural relations.This book is an attempt to localize religion, as well as the study of religions, within the context of experiences and as a topic of philosophical inquiry. Focusing on the question of specifically religious experiences and investigating various models of the relationship between religion and experience, the study suggests that no specific experiences are needed to understand the emergence and development of religious traditions and attitudes. Assessing the implications of basic questions and attitudes in religious studies, it presents a theory of religion which is rooted in the internal dynamics of being human and cultural, and marked by a culture-oriented understanding of philosophy.The book concludes with a discussion of various phenomena which can be addressed as modes and forms of implicit religion, since they do not comply with expectations of traditional or explicit religion. 192 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Greece and Turkey have found themselves on the brink of war on several occasions over the last 50 years irrespective of the fact that both have been members to NATO since 1952. This book sets out to explore the effects this co-membership of Greece and Turkey in NATO has had on the course of their bilateral conflict while paying attention to the related theoretical debate and portraying the arguments of neorealists and neoliberal institutionalists. A further object of research is the impact of NATO membership on the democratic development of these countries. Overall, the conclusion is drawn that NATO has not played a prominent role in this conflict, and the effects of membership have been ambivalent. Moreover, NATO membership neither seems to have played a major role in shaping the fate of democratization in these countries. Nevertheless, the assertion is made that these findings do not contradict institutionalist argumentation, since the effects of institutions are expected to vary in different settings. 168 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Walter Vogt, the Swiss psychiatrist and author (1927-1988), can be considered a gadfly in the Swiss medical profession and a paradox in the Swiss literary arena. This 'writing doctor' shocked the Swiss medical establishment with a scathing exposé in his 1965 novel, Wüthrich, and then continued to write prolifically until his death. He was noted for his use of the grotesque, as well as for his literary sarcasm and use of parody. Vogt's use of the diary as his main genre enhanced his popularity. He was one of the first Swiss writers with a strong commitment to preventing environmental degradation. Vogt suffered from many physical illnesses, in addition to a multitude of psychological conflicts throughout his life. He was focused on death and illness from his early adult years. This book not only looks at Vogt from a psychiatric point of view, but also at his contribution to contemporary Swiss-German literature. 160 pp. Englisch.

The ministry of Ezekiel, a prophetic priest, offers a glimpse of how one priest carried out his duties as a custodian of Tôrâ. Ezekiel the Priest provides the possibility of a deeper understanding of the pastoral ministry of priests as teachers of God's word during Old Testament times through the example of one ancient Israelite priest. 194 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Niccolò Machiavelli may not have been a cynical realist as he is often portrayed. On the contrary, this book argues that he precociously possessed the characteristics of an impassioned, sometimes misguided idealist, obsessed with the idea of Italian unification, but blinded to the practicalities of attaining that goal. William J. Landon suggests that these characteristics may help to explain his appeal to Italy's 'Risorgimento' founders. This interdisciplinary volume, which also contains the first translation of a 'Discourse or Dialogue Concerning our Language' since 1961, works well as a core text, or as a complement to courses in Renaissance history, literature or political science. 302 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From the late seventeenth century into the eighteenth, critics and authors in Germany defended the novel: indeed it depicted vice and immorality, but only with the intention of exhorting the reader to avoid such dangers to the soul. This book examines outstanding novels of life from the Thirty Years' War to the Vormärz, mostly written with this real or apparent moral aim, and evaluates them as documents of social history. The author finds that concepts of truth and plausibility are different in the early modern period. Initial and closing chapters deal with French novels, showing how approaches to society differ across national cultures. 234 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The novels published by Isabelle de Charrière before the French Revolution offer a perceptive account of the psychology and the social climate of the late eighteenth century. The anti-Freudian psychoanalysis of the neurologist and psychiatrist Heinz Kohut (1913-81) is used in this study as a means of developing an awareness of the position of the fictional characters. Feminist and Freudian readings of Charrière's novels of the 1780s have stressed the 'closed' deterministic atmosphere of contemporary society; this new study emphasises what can be called the 'modern' side of the novels: patriarchal society and individual needs confront each other and allow the relationships to be seen in a new light. By means of Kohut's notion of 'selfobject' a rich insight is gained into the complex relationships described by Isabelle de Charrière. 218 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent decades critics in several countries have complained that education in agriculture, engineering and medicine has drifted away from an earlier practical orientation, becoming increasingly irrelevant to actual needs. Since existing histories have surprisingly little to say about the causes of such 'academic drift', this book develops a model of institutional dynamics which explains why different institutions have evolved closer to the worlds of 'science' or 'practice'. The model is based on a study of German agricultural colleges and the study surveys the evolution of the agricultural curriculum during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as it swung back and forth between the poles of science and practice. It makes a comparative analysis of five colleges in the decades around 1900, some of them more science-oriented and others more practical, and follows the gradual transformation over half a century of two colleges in Bavaria which had to compete for recognition and funding. The wider relevance of these findings is also explored, not only for the history of agricultural education in the United States and Britain but also for engineering, medicine and management education, past and present. 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This stimulating new book challenges Freud's definition of the uncanny, prevalent in the study of Gothic and Romantic fiction, by reviving the importance of uncertainty in the uncanny. Literary criticism views the uncanny as an expression of the return of the repressed. Falkenberg's expanded definition includes, but is not limited to, the psychoanalytic and instead redefines the uncanny as a cognitive and aesthetic phenomenon. Beyond offering a survey of what David Punter has called «The Theory of the Uncanny», this study places the uncanny in the context of the poetological and philosophical background of the Romantic period. In close readings of two stories that have stood at the center of the debate about the uncanny - E.T.A. Hoffmann's «Sandman» and Ludwig Tieck's «Blond Eckbert» - the author shows how these texts are constructed as uncanny phenomena in themselves. The study traces fairytale elements, framing techniques, and interdependencies between the fictional productions of the protagonists and their «dark fates» to expose how these texts confront the reader with paradoxical decoding instructions. This expanded and revised uncanny not only yields new readings of two classic German short stories, it also leads to a better understanding of the cultural soil that nourished the Romantic Movement. 264 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Focusing on D. H. Lawrence's concept of «essential criticism», which was introduced in his posthumously published «Study of Thomas Hardy» and his statement that «every work of art adheres to some system of morality. But it must contain the essential criticism on the morality to which it adheres», this book examines the ways in which Lawrence presents his ideas in his major novels The Rainbow and Women in Love. It explores how this concept plays a crucial role in his fiction as an «other» to the implied author's messages: functioning differently, as equivocation and creative strife, respectively, in The Rainbow and Women in Love, the concept helps to make these novels more dynamic that commonly realized. 166 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is a collection of contributions about the history and practice of travel and travel writing from a variety of academic disciplines including anthropology, history, linguistics and literary criticism. It brings together scholars from over ten different countries and reflects on what travel is and how travel writings function. It traces the history of travel and travel writing and the notion or idea of a European civilisation that permeates performances and perceptions. The notion of Europe appears as a set of quality standards as well as guidelines for experiences against which civilisations are measured. This set of standards and guidelines, however, is far from stable. It is a floating foundation carrying different versions of Europe throughout time. The authors tackle the problem from different angles: travels from Europe across the seven oceans transported the idea of European civilisation just as travels to Europe or within Europe. The volume explores the different meanings attached to the term 'Europe' and 'civilisation' throughout history and shows how different political or cultural contexts affect the notion of what Europe is or should be. 348 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Addressing questions about representation, this book critically explores the potential of different types of visual material to illuminate historical studies. The contributions in this collection range from explorations of picture schemes used in 19th century classrooms to contemporary popular representations of schooling. Film and photographic images are considered in specific contexts, presenting case studies along with theoretical reflections about methods, values and the very nature of historical studies. Images are examined in children's literature, in the induction of history of education students, in the recreation of past practices and in the promotion of government policies. Visions of education are put alongside discussion of 'the visual turn', its value to historians, its relations with questions about the construction of knowledge and the archive. A range of positions on the visual are represented in the collection. Without presenting an orthodoxy the book aims to promote new awarenesses of this important aspect of education history and the issues it raises. 270 pp. Englisch.

The third part is concerned with the imperative need to define the ethical boundaries beyond which the state must not trespass. Finally, the fourth part examines the question of war as an instrument of policy. 474 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The objective of this book is to present a dialectical framework within which to reread Jane Austen's novels and to counter the critical dichotomy between a 'conservative' Jane (proposed by the containment school of critics) and a 'radical' Austen (proposed by the subversive school of critics). It aims at providing a framework that is flexible enough to explain why the two schools are inadequate, but rigorous enough to shed new light on Austen's complex vision of epistemological enlightenment - namely, her insistence on the 'positive recognition', the 'negative cognition', and the 'cynical misrecognition' as essential moments in the development of the subject. The author argues that Austen's 'dialectics of recognition' point neither towards docile conformism nor revolutionary struggle, but an on-going spirit of critique in the midst of misrecognition. 348 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Compiled on the occasion of Evelyn Waugh's centenary in 2003, this collection of essays shows a renewed critical interest in the author extended by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic. The contributions go back to an international symposium held at La Rioja University, 15-17 May 2003. Apart from traditional debate over questions of fact and interpretation, the book contains innovative approaches to Waugh's oeuvre, some of which make use of theories of discourse and media studies and denote an increasingly sophisticated awareness of his religious, political, and social contexts. Beginning with those essays presenting overviews of Waugh's life and work, and continuing with discussions of particular books in chronological order, this volume deals with a wide variety of aspects that confirm Waugh's rising status as a major twentieth-century classic. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Deux travaux primés sont réunis dans cet ouvrage dense qui étudie en quelques traits saillants le problème historique qui a (sous-)tendu les relations internationales pendant des décennies, suscitant passions et inquiétudes, du citoyen jusqu'au chef d'État: la question allemande.Parmi les nombreux partenaires de l'Allemagne, deux puissances ont établi avec elle des rapports particulièrement intenses. Née du questionnement de chacun des deux pays sur son identité, la relation avec la Russie a directement influé sur la configuration géopolitique de l'Europe. Le récent partenariat, qui fait suite aux tensions entre Bonn et Moscou durant la guerre froide, s'inscrit dans la lignée des incertitudes d'une relation séculaire complexe.La relation avec les États-Unis est plus récente, mais tout aussi profonde. Depuis 1945, l'Allemagne est reconnaissante aux États-Unis de l'ancrage à l'Ouest et, depuis 1990, de la réussite spectaculairement rapide du processus de réunification. Durant les mandats de Truman, de Kennedy, de Bush, elle a vécu des heures cruciales. Peut-on pour autant dire aujourd'hui, de l'Allemagne et de l'Europe qu'elles sont au-delà de Yalta L'Allemagne est un lieu primordial, à la fois enjeu entre deux grands, et charnière entre l'Europe et la Russie; l'OTAN et l'Union Européenne lui permettent-elles d'exercer pleinement son rôle 274 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gegenstand der Untersuchung ist die albanische Identitätssuche mit Blick auf eine europäische Perspektive. Der Kollaps des kommunistischen Systems, die Auflösung Jugoslawiens und der komplizierte Umbruch in der Region hatten unter vielen Balkanvölkern, nicht zuletzt den Albanern, Identitätskrisen zur Folge. Ihre Überwindung und die Bereitschaft, eine Symbiose überkommener Identitätsmerkmale mit neuen Normen und Werten in der Wahrnehmung nationaler und internationaler Interessen herzustellen - davon hängen letztlich Modalitäten und Wege zur europäischen Integration ab. Nach dem Ende der Diktatur 1990 und dem Aufbegehren im Kosovo und in Mazedonien vollzieht sich diese Identitätssuche heute im Spannungsfeld zwischen nationaler Bestimmung und sozialem, ökonomischem und kulturellem Wandel in eine demokratische Gesellschaft. Zwischen den Albanern des «Mutterlandes» und denen in den angrenzenden Siedlungsgebieten bestehen zum Teil stark differierende Wahrnehmungen bezüglich der Identitätsbildung, die aus historischen und aktuellen Lebensbedingungen resultieren. In der Studie wird versucht, diese unterschiedlichen Prozesse zu evaluieren und zu erklären. 166 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Publikation stellt mit dem Domstift Brandenburg eine Institution vor, die zu den ältesten der Mark Brandenburg gehört und deren Archiv bis zur Gründung des Bistums Brandenburg im Jahre 948 zurückreicht und das älteste in ununterbrochener Kontinuität bis auf den heutigen Tag bestehende brandenburgische Archiv ist. Diese lange Zeit hatte viele unterschiedliche sich zum Teil überschneidende Erschließungen des Archivs zur Folge, welche seine Benutzung sehr erschwert haben. Deshalb ist eine Neuerschließung dringend notwendig geworden, deren Extrakt die Übersicht über die Bestände des Domstiftsarchivs bildet. Vorangestellt sind den einzelnen Bestandsübersichten jeweils Darstellungen der Geschichte ihrer Institutionen. Da die alten Gliederungen nicht mehr verwendet werden konnten - das wird in der Darstellung über das Domstiftsarchiv ausführlich begründet -, ist für den zentralen Bestand des Domkapitels eine neue Systematik entwickelt worden, welche die Verwaltungsstruktur widerspiegelt und das Ziel hat, dem Nutzer übersichtlich die ihn erwartende Themenbreite vor Augen zu führen. Um auch Nutzern, denen die Verwaltungssystematik nicht so geläufig ist, entgegenzukommen, ist der Band mit Orts-, Personen- und Sachregister versehen worden. 120 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le poète anglais George Chapman (1559 -1634) est surtout connu pour sa traduction d'Homère, qu'il considérait comme son oeuvre majeure. Il a aussi laissé des tragédies à sujet français dans lesquelles se fait jour l'idéologie d'un auteur conscient de la crise épistémologique de son temps, esprit réticent devant les soubre-sauts de la nouveauté, mais également penseur de la modernité balbutiante. Ces pièces, qui constituent aussi un commentaire politique sur l'actualité anglaise du temps, mettent en scène des héros à l'ancienne dans un contexte moderne de relativisme moral. Cette étude tente de montrer que l'esthétique de Chapman, au service de son idéologie, est fondée sur ces tensions, mettant en jeu disproportions du temps et de l'espace, mouvement et instabilité. Le héros, lui, reste inachevé: tentant de survivre par l'ostentation et la transgression, il signe sa disparition, laissant l'image d'une statue en trompe-l'oeil, désormais cliché archaïque d'un héroïsme finissant. 293 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'Israël de Renan n'a pas jusqu'ici retenu, du moins pour lui-même, l'intérêt des chercheurs. Le prendre pour centre, c'est d'abord chercher à définir l'effet d'entraînement de l'Israël prophétique sur la démarche historique et spirituelle de Renan. Par l'étude des manuscrits, des structures internes de l'oeuvre, de ses prolongements, ce travail vise à faire percevoir Israël à la fois comme objet historique et comme ressort essentiel d'un dynamisme intérieur. Au croisement de la science biblique et des grandes interrogations sur l'histoire, comment s'écrit cette recherche des origines qui déguise en fait celle des fins À travers quels réseaux d'analogies l'historien tente-t-il de déchiffrer son temps et son propre rapport à son temps Aider à comprendre comment, dans cet univers conceptuel et symbolique, s'élaborent ensemble histoire romantique et saisie du religieux, tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage. 212 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Arbeit analysiert den Status quo der Besteuerung privater Veräußerungsgeschäfte i.S.d.23 EStG unter steuersystematischen und verfassungsrechtlichen Aspekten. Steuersystematisch sind das dualistische System der Einkommensermittlung, die Modelle der synthetischen Einkommensteuer und der Schedulensteuer, aus verfassungsrechtlicher Sicht der Gleichheitssatz des Grundgesetzes sowie das Leistungsfähigkeitsprinzip Maßstab der Untersuchung. Der Autor kommt zu dem Schluss, dass das gegenwärtige System der Besteuerung privater Veräußerungsgeschäfte aus systematischen und verfassungsrechtlichen Gründen zu reformieren ist und untersucht anhand der genannten Maßstäbe mögliche Alternativen, wie z.B. die Abgeltungssteuer, den Karlsruher Entwurf und Konzepte einer konsumorientierten Einkommensteuer. 148 pp. Deutsch.

Ist es z.B. rechtlich zulässig und/oder moralisch vertretbar oder gar geboten, gewisse Dinge nicht (mehr) zu tun Die berechtigte Forderung, dass dabei die Autonomie der Patienten nicht verletzt werden darf, stellt neue und weiter gehende moralische und rechtliche Anforderungen an die Behandelnden.

Dieses Buch vermittelt in allgemein-verständlicher Form Grundzüge juristischen Denkens, die für die Beurteilung medizinisch-ethischer Fragen von Bedeutung sind. 110 pp. Deutsch.
