Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book explores the intimate connection between poetry and politics in modernity and, in particular, in liberal and fascist Italy. Through a historical and interdisciplinary approach, the essays focus on various fundamental passages of liberal system crisis: political poetry as an act of rebellion against the social and economic system; as a tool of disintegration of bourgeois morality and civilization; as a pillar of the building and consolidation of the fascist regime; as a central instrument of the myth of the 'new man'. What emerges is a mosaic capable of enlightening the values and disvalues and the transformation of Italian radical and nationalist mindset, through the elimination of the boundaries between 'matter' and 'spirit' and between different disciplines: as in the liberal period, political poetry deals with new issues such as Time, Space, and the Body, so in the totalitarian Fascist culture integrates and contaminates other aesthetic forms: theatre, dance, architecture 338 pp. Englisch.…

Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque les chercheurs arrivent à des conclusions différentes, notamment sur la presse dans le monde arabe La presse, en insistant sur des théories rationalistes et libérales, impose-t-elle des normes culturelles et renforce-t-elle l'influence des États de la région Comment la presse pourrait-elle bien être un outil puissant de diplomatie d'influence C'est à ces questions que le présent ouvrage tente de répondre, postulant que la presse dans le monde arabe a souvent une lecture traditionnelle des conflits fondée sur les lignes de fracture géopolitique traditionnelles. Celle-ci invoque les intérêts géopolitiques et stratégiques des grands acteurs mondiaux et régionaux. Le discours médiatique sert ainsi d'outil et d'espace d'influence pour ces acteurs. 70 pp. Französisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'Fascinating, humanist, and beautifully written, Alien Sightings attends to the relationships and lifeworlds in which UFO sightings occur, analysing the intellectual and cultural trends patterning their expression. Through attention to the form, interpretation, and social history of alien encounters, Jenkins reveals the relationship between collective practices and individual experience. Brilliant and compelling.'(Joanna Cook, Reader in Medical Anthropology, University College London 'In this masterful review of reports of alien encounters, sightings, communications and abductions, Jenkins skilfully and surgically reveals the underlying assumptions of such stories, as well as the lacunae in sociological accounts of them. This essay also inspires further reflection on the social factors behind claims about related psychic and supernatural phenomena.'(Beth Singler, Assistant Professor in Digital Religion(s), University of Zurich) For the last seventy years, members of the public have reported seeing piloted craft, thought to come from other planets, in the sky or on land. Their reasons for making such reports often remain obscure and hard to separate from the accounts of investigators of various kinds drawn to these events. More, these witnesses' reports have varied over that time, moving from distant sightings at the beginning to include Close Encounters and then abductions, and the focus of the report likewise altered, from description of physical objects to a concern with psychological reactions and, later, with the recovery of hidden memories. This book reviews a series of well-known reports by contemporary journalists of these sightings, showing the order and patterns that underlie both the events themselves and their reception.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 178 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -'Both a fascinating historically informed account of flying saucers in military and popular imagination, from their arrival in the 1940s until the present, and a satisfying intellectual account of how categories and objects change simultaneously. Jenkins authoritatively charts the continuities and discontinuities in the post-war American adventure of imagining alien life.'(Nicholas Adams, Professor of Philosophical Theology, University of Birmingham). 'Far away is close at hand in images of elsewhere.'(London graffito, late 1970s)In the modern period, with understandings shaped by new technologies, we are bound to find something like flying saucers, with a range of properties that are both real and imaginary, which can act as relays between human groups, places and times, providing new resources and allowing innovation to happen. This book reviews the different scientific models that have been employed in making sense of sightings, showing the broader schemes in which they have been put to work, and indicating the different possibilities these schemes contain, running from realistic claims about sightings of objects to claims of encounters with interplanetary creatures which are both psychologically and technically far in advance of our times. It offers a comprehensive account of the features, puzzles, anomalies and paradoxes of flying saucer reports.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 138 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In this book, Peirce's logical apparatus is used to explain some topics in biology where traditional scientific methods fail to establish the relation between the real and the virtual in the genetic script, the irreducibility of evolution to the genome, and the multidimensionality of the passage from genotype to phenotype. The interdisciplinary nature of this study consists in combining Peirce's triadic logic, linguistics and biology; the author, as a linguist, draws out similarities between sentence construction and protein folding. Three main branches from the biological sciences are focused on: evolution, epigenetics and protein folding. The volume applies Peirce's logical tools to demonstrate the universal validity of his scientific method in the current research.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 194 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Historians argue that the years following the Emancipation Proclamation and those immediately after the Civil War were formative years in the trajectory of the United States as a country. So, why then, does this era of history not get the proper attention it deserves in survey classes across the nation Why does the Civil War overshadow Reconstruction The contributors of this volume would collectively argue that there are scant resources known to educators and typically teachers do not feel comfortable diving into the subject without proper content knowledge. This book hopes to provide an entry to the subject and spur ideas on where teachers may lead discussions about this important era of history. The authors ask questions about Reconstruction that allow students opportunities to dive deeply into themes of the era. Overall, they aim to extend the nuances of the historiography by exploring related disciplines, issues of race, gender, politics, and historical memory.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 232 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Academic accommodations have become quite commonplace in universities in the Global North. At their best, accommodations support the rights of all students to an education, enabling students with disabilities or those who learn differently to succeed in the university and beyond. But are accommodations truly at their best Reflecting on his own experiences as a Black student with a disability as well as the experiences of other Black students accessing accommodations at Canada's premier university, the University of Toronto, Baker examines how Black students who self-identify as having a disability navigate the everyday complexities of Blackness and disability in Canadian higher education. Revealing the often invisible ways Black disabled students negotiate the double bind of disability and anti-Blackness, this book draws attention to the alarming regularity with which students internalize stigmas born from structural forms of anti-Black racism and ableism and demonstrates how this often create devastating barriers to student success and well-being.Timely, thought-provoking, and at times deeply personal, this book encourages us to rethink the accommodations process with the aim of supporting all students to achieve success within the academy and beyond.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 266 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -It's Not Rocket Science! Designing Meaningful Learning Experiences in the Elementary Classroom is a hands-on manual that streamlines the curriculum design process by utilizing a four-step approach: deconstructing, reconstructing, lesson planning, and assessing. Grounded in a theoretical framework that all students, regardless of background, are entitled to high quality learning, this step-by-step method allows teachers to create structured, cohesive units of study that impact students' lives, while at the same time providing the opportunity for teachers to thoroughly analyse a content area before creating learning experiences. Included are concrete examples, strategies and templates that help educators create active and engaging lessons for students.'In It's Not Rocket Science! Designing Meaningful Learning Experiences in the Elementary Classroom Robert Blake and Lisa Trattner pare down the planning process to five central questions that need to be internalized by teachers, educational leaders, all who engage in the educational process, even including students. Far too much is wasted by the drudgery of requiring educators to pursue endless hours of writing lesson plans, only to find that they don't meet the ever-changing needs of educational situations. Like living a good philosophy of life, embodying these questions nourishes seeds of imagination and improvisation that enrich teaching and learning moment by moment by enhancing the meaning that students experience. Although it may not be as technically sophisticated as rocket science, it may be more important. It collaboratively reconstructs the next (and hopefully better) generations of human beings!'William H. Schubert.
