Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A writer uses the same adventurous spirit that took him all over the world to look inward and embark on a journey of self-discovery.If there was one thing Dustin Grinnell craved, it was adventure. From running the Paris marathon, to bungee jumping in New Zealand, to watching the sunrise at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, Grinnell spent his twenties and thirties traveling across the globe in search of new experiences. But as he indulged his wanderlust, he noticed he seldom looked inward to explore himself: What did he want, and where was he really going In this insightful collection of twenty-five memoir essays, Grinnell discovers amazing places¿and bit by bit, himself. Whether he¿s exploring his relationship with his father, trying to find satisfaction in Corporate America, or searching for love, Grinnell¿s essays offer readers a window into the complexities of human relationships and the natural world, with insights that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.«Few writers have Dustin Grinnell¿s ability to tell a great story while imparting sociopolitical insights.»(Bruce E. Levine, author of Resisting Illegitimate Authority)«Dustin Grinnell¿s essays explore how to live. He presents the unvarnished truth of his ¿evolution from magical to critical thinker¿ in vivid, precise language that left me hungry to keep reading. I jogged beside him through a tunnel during the Paris marathon and felt the lurch of a bungee cord in New Zealand. Although a marketing writer for many years, there¿s no crafting of the best possible image here. His subjects lead him to inspect how he came to his beliefs and his actions. Dustin reads deeply, to study traditions across culture and setting, and then to examine his life through the lens of philosophers, artists, adventurers, and psychotherapists. This is a thoughtful and rich collection of essays that inspires, challenges, and ultimately satisfies.»(Penny Kittle, author of The Greatest Catch: A Life in Teaching)«Lost & Found is a poignant, dark, and moving work that captures the deepest moments of introspection, doubt, and, ultimately, perseverance and acceptance. Dustin Grinnell has opened up his own skepticism about who and what he, and perhaps all of us, really are and what we each wish to pursue. His essay collection raises the question of what will become of us if we simply forge onward, ignoring the whips and scorns of our lived experience in the blind pursuit of some undefined progress. It demands instead that we reflect on the most challenging portions of our lives so we can find, through that rockiness, a sense of who and what we truly are.»(Trevor (T.H.) Paul, author of The Legacy Chronicle series)Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How do U.S. American Muslim mothers describe and discuss their identities as mothers, wives, and Muslims How do they conceptualize their relationships with their children, husbands, and other family members Often, discussions of motherhood within the mainstream Muslim community do not center on actual mothers' perspectives. This study, undertaken by a Muslim woman researcher, foregrounds the lived experiences of Muslim mothers to explore their communicative experiences of identity.The findings of this study are based on interviews with nine U.S.-based Muslim women who shared detailed thoughts about what Islamic scripture says about motherhood, the role of culture, the rights and obligations of different family members, and details about their day-to-day lives. Hecht's Communication Theory of Identity (CTI) framework - a flexible and useful method for understanding the relationship between ideology, identity, and personal agency - is used to identify core themes. Further, this study explores contradictions, incongruences, an disruptions between how respondents may enact (or perform) 'motherhood' and their own personal feelings.Engaging and accessible, this book will be of interest to scholars of communication theory, religious communication, women and gender, and U.S. American Muslim studies, as well as anyone with an interest in the various impacts and influences of overarching intersectional identities.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In curriculum studies, we pay critical attention to violence in various forms; why not to nonviolence This original and inspirational book foregrounds nonviolence as a positive force in education through multidimensional, complex, and interdisciplinary lenses. Starlight for shifting relational dynamics in a time of darkness and crises to co-create mutual-flourishing pathways, nonviolence not only has an inherent capacity to treat the roots of violence but is also built on a deeply shared sense of interconnectedness that fosters individual and communal integration. 'Nonviolence or nonexistence' is an urgent call.This book (with writings that span a decade) conceptualizes nonviolence education through multilayered, evolving, and cross-disciplinary perspectives, centering on nonviolent relationality that engages with differences within the self and with the other (including the non-human other) to bridge inner work and outer work, transcend dualism and divisions, and transform pedagogy and curriculum dynamics. Drawing upon international and indigenous wisdom, Gandhi-King philosophies of nonviolent social change, theories of the human psyche and currere, post-structural theories, and feminism, this book explicates nonviolence as curriculum and educational renewal in an ongoing process, infused by attuned, improvised, creative, and integrative energy that holds tensions, cultivates compassion, and inspires awakenings.Scholars, students, and practitioners in the fields of curriculum studies, nonviolence studies, peace education, teaching and learning, educational foundations, philosophy of education, international education, East/West inquiry, and community based education will welcome this book.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 294 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book examines Slovak education as an example of totalitarianism, exploring two opposing sides: the publicly expressed values and ideals of of¿ cial compulsory education subordinated to government power and the alternative ideals and concepts of unof¿cial education implemented by informal groups and underground organizations (dissent). The authors seek answers to Hannah Arendt¿s iconic questions: What happened Why did it happen How could this happen The title of the book also references the dualism in the lives of individuals and families who did not identify with the doctrine of Marxism-Leninism and totalitarian ways of governing. In order to preserve their inner freedom, they lived a double life, one in private and the other in public.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 296 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the book, the author presented the results of several years of empirical studies conducted in Polish common courts. On the basis of an analysis of 250 observed and recorded trials, conducted as part of various court proceedings (criminal, civil, insurance, etc.), the author outlined a picture of the trial as a communication occurrence, in which persons with various levels of communication competence are involved in the interaction.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -«This volume locates itself neatly in the growing collection of publications on intermediality by relating such practices to Roland Barthes. Barthesian motifs and writerly concerns are found within a variety of intermedial practices, as the analysis moves, historically and globally, across visual, aural and literary cultures. Such an approach is both appropriate and innovative within Barthes Studies and in cultural theory more generally.»(Andy Stafford, Professor of French and Critical Theory, University of Leeds)The essays in this collection reconsider Roland Barthes as a crucial figure in intermedia studies, arguing that the concepts and forms of analysis he pioneered are of continuing importance for students and scholars working in the field. These essays utilize an interdisciplinary methodology, drawing on Barthes¿s own intermedial critical practice, to examine the multiple relationships between art, literature, music and performance and across different languages. The collection places Barthes¿s writing in critical dialogue with other theorists, including Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Dick Higgins and Emmanuel Levinas, investigating the work of figures as varied as André Breton, Giordano Bruno, Alain Cavalier, Alfred Hitchcock, Marcel Schwob, W. G. Sebald, Steven Spielberg, Yoko Tawada and Lev Tolstoy. The collection demonstrates that Barthes¿s intermedial critical and theoretical practice provides a means of challenging fixed critical narratives and exploring crucial intermedial issues, including how narrative crosses media, the close relationship between image and text throughout history, and how twentieth-century consumer capitalist culture transformed the relationship between image and text.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 240 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Politicamente corretto, linguaggio inclusivo, 'lingua facile', sessismo linguistico, hate speech: nella maggior parte dei casi di discriminazione un ruolo determinante spetta (anche) al linguaggio. Pur non limitandosi a fatti linguistici, la discriminazione viene spesso trasmessa attraverso la lingua, per mezzo di espressioni volutamente spregiative, ma anche nascosta in usi idiomatici apparentemente innocui. D¿altro canto però proprio la lingua può servire a combattere le discriminazioni, p.e. ricorrendo a un linguaggio inclusivo che non perpetri stereotipi di genere, oppure semplificando testi istituzionali per renderli accessibili alle persone con disabilità intellettive.Questo volume analizza da un punto di vista diacronico e sincronico alcune espressioni e locuzioni discriminatorie sulla base di materiali eterogenei (dizionari, raccolte di proverbi, trattati e testi letterari, articoli di giornale, social network, canzoni) e secondo diversi approcci metodologici. Il focus è sull¿italiano, con excursus su francese, inglese e tedesco. 368 pp. Englisch, Deutsch, Italienisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -«Nordic Design in Translation: The Circulation of Objects, Ideas and Practices is an exciting and necessary addition to the discourse on material culture, bringing together fresh approaches to the transnational character of Nordic design. The contributors take the reader outside the established frameworks of national, institutional and disciplinary boundaries and offer us a way to think about the circulation of objects, ideas and practices and their interconnection with wider influences and cultural contexts.»(Professor Juliette MacDonald, Chair of Craft History and Theory, Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh)«With the ambition to go underneath the veneer of 'Scandinavian Design', this volume offers original perspectives on artistic and cultural transfer. Case studies spanning the twentieth century challenge canonical trajectories of unidirectional influence and demonstrate how design and its ideas translate across nations. It is a vital contribution to contemporary scholarship and an inspiring read for everyone interested in design history in the Nordic region and beyond.»(Christina Pech, Senior Lecturer, History of Art, University of Oslo)«Scandinavian Design» as a myth, a brand and a shorthand for a range of design ideas has proved an enduring and adaptable construct. Its export around the world has ensured that it has touched and transformed design cultures from Europe to Australia. At the same time, the Nordic design it draws on has been shaped and reshaped by influences from beyond the Nordic countries and by reflection on its own global success. This collection of essays considers Nordic design from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day within transnational dynamics of cultural interaction, circulations and cross-border flows that highlight exchange and reciprocity. Engaging with a range of Nordic and Nordic-inspired material objects, techniques, practices and concepts, the essays assess both the impact they have had on new cultural contexts and the ways they themselves have been fashioned and refashioned in response to foreign influences.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 334 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -El presente libro propone una novedosa visión sobre la construcción textual de la Lima virreinal a través del análisis de textos que dejaron testimonio de las fiestas acaecidas en Lima desde la segunda mitad del siglo XVI hasta comienzos del siglo XIX. A diferencia de otros estudios sobre la fiesta en la capital del Virreinato del Perú, abarca por tanto todo el período colonial. El libro sigue un eje cronológico para el análisis de una selección de relaciones especialmente significativas y ricas en claves de interpretación para la lectura de la sociedad, la civitas, desde los elementos constitutivos de la ciudad, la urbs. El estudio de tales textos resulta una relevante contribución a la investigación sobre la construcción literaria de la Lima colonial. Partiendo de la amplia perspectiva interdisciplinar que abren estos textos marginales, caracterizados por una hibridación entre historica y ficción y diferentes registros artísticos, su estudio complementa la investigación existente sobre la ciudad que se desarrolla en los textos literarios generados en torno a la corte virreinal, así como en los textos que conforman el denominado 'archive indiano'. La ciudad real del ámbito festivo, modelada por la ciudad letrada (los intelectuales que dan testimonio de la misma) es así la protagonista de las páginas de este libro.Esta monografía está destinada al ámbito académico que investiga sobre la literatura y la cultura hispanoamericana colonial, y a los estudiantes de postgrados, másteres y programas de doctorado que abordan la literatura y la historia de la América virreinal.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 320 pp. Spanisch.

Mediante la primera transcripción completa y anotada del Centinela en español, nuestro trabajo brinda a los lectores hispanohablantes una edición académica accesible, que por primera vez distingue con claridad los textos de las ediciones madrileñas de 1674 y 1676, que contienen notables diferencias no señaladas antes por la crítica.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Omniprésente dans la vie de Boris Vian, la musique lui a conféré une sensibilité qui est certainement pour une part à la source de son originalité en tant qüécrivain. Notre recherche vise à interroger l¿importance de la musique dans son univers littéraire, ainsi que les efforts qüil a consacrés au rapprochement des deux arts. Utilisant son acception ouverte des formes de la musique, nous avons découvert un monde où l¿écrivain inscrit l¿art d¿Euterpe de maintes manières. Dans l¿oeuvre de fiction, la musique exerce ainsi son infl uence depuis le detail stylistique jusqüà la structure macroscopique. Le premier volet de notre étude concerne les présentations explicites de la musique dans ses fictions tandis que la partie suivante poursuit l¿exploration vers une dimension plus implicite.Notre interprétation de la musique dans les fictions de Vian se développera selon trois dynamiques : la convergence, la transformation et la synchronisation. Nous avons découvert que la musique chez Vian joue un rôle important par rapport à l¿installation du contexte des récits, à la création des personnages, à l¿expression des émotions et des attitudes, ainsi qüà la construction de son architecture fictionnelle.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 342 pp. Französisch.

Die vorliegende Studie ist ein erster Versuch, diese Forschungslücke zu schließen. Sie widmet sich der Darstellung von medizinischem Fachpersonal wie Krankenschwestern, Hebammen, Ärzten und Ärztinnen sowie Krankenhäusern. Ein Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf den komplexen Gesundheitsproblemen, mit denen einzelne literarische Charaktere in Grass¿ epischen Werken konfrontiert werden.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Autor untersucht verschiedene Antworten auf die grundlegende existentiell-ethische Frage, wie man über sein eigenes Leben bestimmen soll. Dabei werden drei grundlegende Denkparadigmen betrachtet. Im aristotelischen Paradigma steht die Wahrheit als grundlegendes Kriterium im Vordergrund, und es geht darum, im Einklang mit einem angenommenen Maßstab zu leben. Im cartesianischen Paradigma hingegen, das eher subjektbezogen ist, ist Freiheit das zentrale Kriterium. Hier geht es darum, das Leben als vollkommen eigenes Unternehmen zu betrachten. Im Subjekt-Subjekt-Paradigma, das dialogorientiert ist, wird Verantwortung als grundlegendes Kriterium angesehen. 220 pp. Deutsch.

So much of what has changed for women in recent decades is chronicled through Pat's life, research and actions. A tour de force.»(Micheline Sheehy Skeffington, plant ecologist and feminist activist)«This book evokes the lived experience of a woman who, out of her time, marshalled the brains, the courage and--I have to say it--the sheer bloody-minded and tireless determination to confront others with one question: 'why '. Asking the question came at no small personal cost, but--slowly and surely--it started to prise open some of the seemingly impenetrable male-centric power edifices that exist across academia; openings which now give so many others hope. Don't be afraid of reading this book about the lifetime of someone who asked why, it may just inspire you to do the same.»(Paul Walton, Professor of Chemistry, University of York, UK and international gender equality advocate)This book, written by an insider, explores experiences over a 46-year career in five academic organisations in Ireland and the UK: moving from contract research assistant to full professor and line manager (Dean). Highlighting success and failure, strength and fragility, it challenges ideas about what it is to be a 'proper' woman. It describes the subtle and relentless processes of devaluation, marginalisation and disempowerment that are often 'normalised.' Written in a clear accessible style, with flashes of humour, it asks whose interests are served by taken-for-granted ideas about what it is to be a woman - ideas which deny the reality of many women's day-to-day experiences. Who wants us to think that all women find identity and satisfaction in housework and child care Who wants us to think that universities are meritocratic institutions The book will inspire and entertain all those who have struggled in any male-dominated organisation and wondered if they were the problem. 248 pp. Englisch.
