Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«Rethinking Black German Studies certainly pushes the envelope in Afro-German Studies. Its contributors travel the paths less traveled in the vast field of Afro-European studies, thus boldly enriching it by presenting salient, new, provocative, and topical material.»(Marilyn Sephocle (Monatshefte 113.1, Spring 2021)Black German Studies is an interdisciplinary field that has experienced significant growth over the past three decades, integrating subjects such as gender studies, diaspora studies, history, and media and performance studies. The field's contextual roots as well as historical backdrop, nevertheless, span centuries. This volume assesses where the field is now by exploring the nuances of how the past - colonial, Weimar, National Socialist, post- 1945, and post-Wende - informs the present and future of Black German Studies; how present generations of Black Germans look to those of the past for direction and empowerment; how discourses shift due to the diversification of power structures and the questioning of identity-based categories; and how Black Germans affirm their agency and cultural identity through cultural productions that engender both counter-discourses and counter-narratives.Examining Black German Studies as a critical, hermeneutic field of inquiry, the contributions are organized around three thematically conceptualized sections: German and Austrian literature and history; pedagogy and theory; and art and performance. Presenting critical works in the fields of performance studies, communication and rhetoric, and musicology, the volume complicates traditional historical narratives, interrogates interdisciplinary methods, and introduces theoretical approaches that help to advance the field. 342 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Living at the intersection of multiple identities in the United States can be dangerous. This is especially true for Native women who live on the more than 56 million acres that comprise America's Indian Country - the legal term for American Indian reservations and other land held in trust for Native people. Today, due to a complicated system of criminal jurisdiction, non-Native Americans can commit crimes against American Indians in much of Indian Country with virtual impunity. This has created what some call a modern day «hunting ground» in which Native women are specifically targeted by non-Native men for sexual violence. In this urgent and timely book, author Amy L. Casselman exposes the shameful truth of how the American government has systematically divested Native nations of the basic right to protect the people in their own communities. A problem over 200 years in the making, Casselman highlights race and gender in federal law to challenge the argument that violence against Native women in Indian country is simply collateral damage from a complex but necessary legal structure. Instead, she demonstrates that what's happening in Indian country is part of a violent colonial legacy - one that has always relied on legal and sexual violence to disempower Native communities as a whole. 172 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One might be forgiven for thinking that the founding of The European Union is notexactly the stu that myths are made of Not at all, for here it comes - though it isnot a myth, but a real story that only sounds like a myth: The 9th of May 1950 was theday when the destiny of European integration (began to take) took shape, with thedeclaration by the French foreign Minister Robert Schuman, aiming at the creation ofa European Coal and Steel Community. One can retrace the events of these historicalmoments day by day, sometimes hour by hour, the main actors emerging with highlyanimated proles, the tension mounting to thrilling heights - but nally the solutionis found! And this solution is, as much as it seems pragmatic, nothing less thanrevolutionary: It is - to use the words of the French foreign minister himself! - therst 'breach into national sovereignty'. The political system of the EU can be traceddirectly back to this initial moment.Once the story of the 9th of May 1950 is told, one can contemplate it from dierentangles and learn a lot: What about the relationship between the external pressureof the Allies on France, in order to prepare for a common defense line of the Westernbloc - and the intra-European, Franco-German desire to overcome their old conictsand reach a fair tradeo of interests What about the relationship between economicsand politics - was and is European integration mainly an economic project or doesit ultimately aim at a political union And maybe the most dicult question: Wouldothers have taken dierent decisions from those of Jean Monnet, Robert Schumanand Konrad Adenauer Could they have And if it was their own free will to decide asthey did, what led them to do so This book tells the story of the 9th of May, and the days leading up to it - and reectson the signicance of this historical moment, our 'Europe Day'. 158 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The New Left was a broad, heterogeneous, transnational, anti-systemic movement of movements which pursued the radical transformation of power structures during the 1960s and the early 1970s. Its activists opposed all forms of oppression - class, racial, gender and so forth - and strove for the redistribution of power on a global scale. Their ideas fuelled the intense cycles of protest of the period and allowed for symbolically connecting movements all over the world.This book reconstructs the dissemination of the characteristic ideas and traits of the New Left by analysing its most prominent magazines and journals. Through the analysis of US, European and Latin American publications, it reveals how the ideological framework of the New Left was conceived and disseminated by a series of critical communities of activists and intellectuals who communicated and debated across borders. The result of the joint efforts of a group of eminent specialists and young scholars from seven different countries, this pioneering work contributes valuable empirical evidence to the study of the processes of intellectual change occurring throughout the twentieth century. 532 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Star Trek and Star Wars: The Enlightenment versus the Anti-Enlightenment, George A. Gonzalez shows that these two behemoths of popular culture put the Enlightenment and anti-Enlightenment before the viewing public. Star Trek is arguably the popular culture vehicle most reflective of the Enlightenment: a belief in political and social progress, leading to a society that is modern, classless, and totally free of gender and ethnic biases. The Star Wars franchise, meanwhile, is seemingly the artistic embodiment of the anti-Enlightenment: societal progress (to the extent that it occurs) is solely a function of technology and not a perfecting of justice and fairness. Gonzalez shows that this reflects the pessimism and demoralization underlying the Trump phenomenon and the rise of anti-democratic, virulent nationalism. 132 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Critical pedagogy is the foundation of contemporary teacher education. Circumstances and changes in the educational landscape within recent years have resulted in a sharp increase in programs offering online classes and entire programs in teacher education. Using critical perspectives, such courses often address difficult topics, for example, the impact of poverty, racism/white supremacism, sexism, heterosexism, and ableism on students and on schools. These issues require careful planning and development of a classroom environment that fosters honest conversations and multiple perspectives, and a level of rapport that can be especially difficult to achieve and negotiate in online asynchronous environments where students may hesitate to be open to discuss matters perceived as sensitive. Nonetheless, engaging students with and through critical pedagogy online can also provide an environment that challenges traditional ways of knowing and creates spaces for meaningful dialogue and change. This book examines course design, student engagement, research, theory, and practices of teaching with and for critical pedagogy in online environments. 354 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The focus of this tri-authored scholarly work is on marketing communication and consumer behaviour of the selected generations X, Y, and Z in terms of the size of purchases and the types of retail outlets they use.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study offers new readings of early works, both novels and short stories, of Samuel Beckett in the context of Beckett's signature. The author analyses the given signature through such terms as language, the neutrum and memory, simultaneously incorporating the mentioned terms in the context of Beckett's early prose. The first part of the book is theoretical and concentrates on coining the term signature through different philosophical viewpoints (e.g., Lotman, Blanchot, Bergson), whereas the second part analyses Beckett's early works in the context of the signature (e.g., Proust, More Pricks Than Kicks, Murphy). The book also analyses a posthumously-published short story Echo's Bones that opens new interpretation paths for twenty-first century Beckettologists. 202 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book describes the main characteristics that define the emotion of fear, its dimensions, functions, types, and social and individual meanings. It also shows that fear represents a desire to eliminate the Other and that horror films have their origin precisely in crisis and fear, which gives it a fundamentally xenophobic nature. This is demonstrated in the book through the analysis of the four most important versions of the King Kong myth: 1933, 1976, 2005 and 2017. These versions are the result of the fear of the Other that was generated by particular crises in US society: the stock market crash of 1929, the 1970s energy crisis, 9/11 and the military intervention in Iraq in 2003 and its consequences. These conflicts also led to psychological and sociological effects that created a desire for escape that King Kong's films manifest. 212 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de soumettre à l'examen les modèles théoriques de la linguistique. Il s'intéresse à la modélisation dans ses divers états, qu'il s'agisse d'une théorisation implicite non mise en question ou d'une théorisation en construction -cette dernière pouvant prendre la forme d'une activité épilinguistique ou d'une pensée métalinguistique élaborée et explicite qui se confronte à des faits de langue- ou encore de cadres théoriques soumis à la discussion et à la comparaison. Les analyses abordent différents domaines de la linguistique, à savoir la phonologie, la syntaxe et la sémantique.The purpose of this book is to examine and assess the theoretical models used in linguistics. It deals with the construction of theoretical models, with the questions of implicit and unchallenged theorization, theorization 'in the making' -either in the form of epilinguistic activity or as explicit elaborated metalinguistic thought trying to cope with actual linguistic facts- or the discussion and comparison of theoretical frameworks. The analyses address various fields of linguistics, namely phonology, syntax and semantics. 334 pp. Englisch, Französisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«This volume epitomizes Jost Hermand's inimitable talent of synthesizing wide-ranging disciplines in an accessible and compelling style, bringing to life the experiences of musicians and their public in the context of their own times. These essays also give us a glimpse into how his own life experiences created the hunger for culture that defined his long and illustrious career.» (Pamela M. Potter, Professor of German and Musicology, University of Wisconsin-Madison) «Jost Hermand's final book is an enormously rich gift to posterity. The fifteen essays on musical culture that constitute this collection contain brief but illuminating glimpses of the whole glorious parade of serious music and those who composed, cultivated, and commented on it in the German lands, from Buxtehude to Stockhausen and beyond. His insight and well-observed contextualization reveals a lifetime of scholarship and experience.» (Celia Applegate, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University) In contrast to the writings of many other musicologists, this book is not primarily concerned with the biographies of certain composers or a structural analysis of their major compositions, but rather with the stands they took in the ideological struggles during their lifetimes and how these affected some of their most important works. Beginning with the late seventeenth century, special emphasis is thereby given to Pietism, orthodox Lutheranism, the impact of the French Revolution, the restrictive measures of the Metternich period, the Wilhelminian era, Expressionism, the New Objectivity and the materialist aesthetics of the Weimar Republic, fascism, exile and the modernism of the early Federal Republic of Germany. 294 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Project Management Planning explores the science and art of handling planned responsibility and unexpected conditions. The processes of planning contents (initiating, planning, executing, controlling, closing) and the attributes of planning contents (scope, time, resources, cost, quality, risk, benefit, others) are generally common. For that reason, comprehensive project management planning applies across all types of projects and all kinds of planning situations, including, for example, the Agile sequence of shortterm investments or in Critical Chain Buffer management.Evidence shows two massive gaps in project management planning across the field, which this book hopes to address. The first gap is between current project management planning and its potential as a practical discipline. The second gap is between project management system knowledge and its potential as an applied research discipline. This book first explains how a project management plan develops from project management contents, before using the same tools to explain how project management system logic develops from project management system contents. Finally, it shows how project management system contents and its logic improve project management contents.By understanding how a project management plan develops into a project management systems logic, we can implement strong plans across programs, businesses and corporations, organizations, and any entity for which managing plans is an integral part. 376 pp. Englisch. …

Bajo la pretensión de radiografiar las principales tendencias de la literatura hispánica contemporánea, el presente volumen reúne trece trabajos que atienden específicamente a sus elementos formales.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«Michelle Leese's book is a must-read for those interested in the German impersonal passive. Based on an experimental study of almost 400 zero-argument passives she convincingly shows that this allegedly 'exceptional' passive is the very core from which all werden-passives in their meaning as 'event-focused action' are derived.»(Petra M. Vogel, Professor of German Linguistics, University of Siegen, Germany)«This book presents a vast amount of original data to confront a glaring weakness of the aspect analysis of the German passive: if the actional passive is telic, why is the impersonal passive of the type Es wurde getanzt atelic The answer given is a revelation delightful in its simplicity.»(Dr Christopher Beedham, Honorary Lecturer, Department of German, University of St Andrews, Scotland)Actional passives are conventionally considered to be the result of a voice analysis conversion process. They are said to derive from semantically identical underlying actives, even though most passives do not contain the agent - the entity carrying out the action - that would be crucial to such a conversion. Beedham's aspect analysis offered an alternative perspective which discarded any notion of a mandatory connection to the active, and instead proposed that passive formation requires only a lexically telic verb, compositional telicity and a patient (affected entity) subject.This book challenges both these analyses via an empirical investigation into the somewhat neglected impersonal passive in German of the type Es wurde getanzt, which, as a zero-argument, atelic construction, exists as an exception to both the voice and aspect analysis rules. Using the theoretical framework of Saussurean structuralism and Beedham's «method of exceptions and their correlations», this book presents a new, «event-focused» analysis of both this impersonal passive and the German actional passive in general; plus, it proposes that since Es wurde getanzt, as the barest form of passive and the closest realisation of the werden + ge-V-t core of all passives, is atelic, this werden-passive core too is atelic. 324 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Multimodality is the notion which stands behind the most fertile investigations incommunication and language studies nowadays. Multimodal depiction of the surroundingworld helps the child to better conceptualise, objectify, and reify abstractnotions. Even before children learn to talk, they activate their soft skills, the so-calledlife/human competences or social skills, and they employ multimodal communicationpertaining to gestures and sounds in order to interact. Therefore, when knowledgeof the brain and body intertwines with social and emotional intelligence, itfosters human dialogue and it enhances our communication. Offering great insightinto the evolution of theoretical and analytical approaches to multimodal meaningconstruction and soft skills development, this volume is an indispensable resourcefor (under)graduate students and researchers in applied linguistics, semiotics, mediaand communication studies, ELT Methodology, and psychology. 324 pp. Englisch.…
