Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Arbeit wurde 2004 mit dem Promotionspreis der Commerzbankstiftung ausgezeichnet.Rechtsprechung und Literatur im Strafrecht differenzieren beim Anstellungsbetrug zwischen der Erschleichung einer Beamtenstellung und der Erschleichung eines Arbeitsverhältnisses und reduzieren die Probleme allein auf die Bestimmung des Vermögensschadens. Diese Untersuchung zeigt, dass der Anstellungsbetrug aber auch arbeits- und beamtenrechtliche Problemstellungen aufwirft. Zunächst werden daher die arbeitsrechtliche und die beamtenrechtliche Einstellungsentscheidung untersucht. Eine strafrechtliche Betrachtung des Anstellungsbetruges schließt sich an. Die im Hinblick auf die unterschiedliche Behandlung der Täuschung des Bewerbers im Arbeits-, Beamten- und Strafrecht auftretenden Wertungswidersprüche werden schließlich vor dem Hintergrund der Einheit der Rechtsordnung einer harmonisierenden neuen Lösung zugeführt. 264 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Educational research and poetics are often not included in the same conversation. Educational Poetics: Inquiry, Freedom and Innovative Necessity is one of the only texts to explore the possibilities of linking these domains to develop an emergent form of inquiry. Such an inquiry utilizes our human potential to go beyond the seductive force of everyday commonsense to consider and put into place alternative perspectives that are often hidden from view. These alternative perspectives, in turn, help create the ability to free ourselves from mental slavery as we change in inventive ways, a form of innovative necessity. 226 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is it about vampires that fascinates the human imagination Blood Obsession closely scrutinizes theories of Sigmund Freud and Tzvetan Todorov and arrives at a model of the vampire as the perfect representative of genre for a variety of reasons - the vampire figure appeals to its audience because of an interdependency of looplike mental and narrative structures that lure both reader and writer incessantly back to the genre. At the same time, this book provides the reader with a thorough survey of literary and filmic vampires in both adult and juvenile fictions. Lastly, it blends the realms of legal and literary history by highlighting the changes the image of the serial killer, a close relative of the vampire, underwent at the end of the twentieth century.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Because «globalization» is expressed in many ways and evokes complex responses, it demands various lines of analysis. Globalizing Education shows how this phenomenon is mediated and mitigated by a range of educational policies, pedagogies, and politics. It identifies the forms of educational governance associated with neoliberal globalism and their manifold effects on nation-state education systems, highlighting the colonizing minority-world imperatives and retraditionalizing ramifications. It also shows how the global cultural economy - the disjunctive flows of images, people, and ideas - both challenges and reinforces conventional educational trajectories. The global/national mesh-works created by drugs, technology, and unions are among the complicated connectivities explored. This book exposes the more pernicious effects on education of neo-liberal and corporate globalization and explores and identifies innovative and transformative educational policies, pedagogies, and politics. 328 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) seeks at changing the weak intra-regional trade and the strong disparities between countries. How to achieve such an objective, given the heterogeneous profiles of the member countries such as Côte d'Ivoire (Regional pole) and Burkina Faso (one of the poorest) This is an important issue at stake. Intra-African migration flows is one of the best arguments for regional integration in the face of negligible goods and investment flows.

Migrations concern rural populations and to deal with the microeconomic issues, the study used survey data collected in the Burkinabè Sahel. Secondary data on skills migration and brain drain are constructed to study the macroeconomic convergence. 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The move from playwright to cinema screenwriter and director is a rare accomplishment. No American writer has achieved this transition with the level of success enjoyed over the past two decades by David Mamet. Over this same period Mamet has also authored a body of aggressive critical writing that demonstrates enduring aesthetic and ideological preoccupations, regularly expressed as a set of confident 'best practices'. However, the relationship between theory and practice becomes particularly (and productively) rowdy at the sites of Mamet's transitional 'media crossing'. Imagination in Transition establishes a flexible set of core characteristics of Mamet's dramatic and theatrical dramaturgy, and then compares these with the textual and cinematographic strategies employed by Mamet in his initial, 'transitional' feature films. This study, then, offers both an innovative approach to Mamet's work and an illuminating framework for cross-media analysis. 250 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is dedicated to Anna Marie Aagaard on the occasion of her 70 th birthday. It is written by a number of friends and colleagues. The essays touch upon a number of the issues and interpretations that have shaped and been shaped by Anna Marie Aagaard in her theological work: spirituality, ecumenicity and ethics - also including poetry and politics. In this endeavour lies the hope that this book itself is an outreach towards new beginnings and ends, pointing beyond itself to the world outside its pages, and that all the contributions in one way or another construct a meaning and form 'cracks' in those walls we constantly and regrettably build, be they theological, cultural, moral or otherwise. 254 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The issue of maintaining a diverse gene pool in the form of crop varieties is very topical world wide.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is the first collection of critical essays to appear about the Wooster Group. Since the 1970s this groundbreaking, New York-based performance company has led the way in crystallizing the conditions of contemporary stage practice at the intersection of several cultural and artistic traditions. As demonstrated by the assembled critics, each of them an authority in the field, these traditions extend into the past as well as into the future, through the Wooster Group's impact on the latest generation of performance artists. The company's consequent institutionalization is posited and challenged in the essays constituting Part I of the collection. Part II tackles the work-in-progress, mapping its idiomatic stage vocabulary and providing case studies, ranging from Frank Dell's The Temptation of St. Antony to To You, The Birdie! (Phèdre). Part III presents productions by kindred artists such as Elevator Repair Service, the Builders Association, Cannon Company, and Richard Maxwell. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, this collection should prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in the current theatrical scene and its place in the wider institutional, artistic, and historical contexts. 294 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the associations between dressing and storytelling in Margaret Atwood's fiction. As cultural representations operating within a network of codes, clothed bodies are often discussed by theorists as constructed performances or as fabricated texts, inextricably bound up with ideology and power. The clothed body often becomes a battleground in Atwood's fiction as female protagonists respond to divisive cultural scripts through self-fashioning. Furthermore, Atwood seems to collapse the opposition between the material and the spiritual through clothing, to consider dress a fitting metaphor for the space between the natural and the supernatural. While the connections among dress, body, and story are visible from Atwood's earliest novel forward, they achieve their most unified and powerful effect in The Robber Bride (1993) and Alias Grace (1996). In these novels, Atwood draws upon the classical idea that the body clothes the soul to create a postmodern frame for the complex relationships among subjectivity, representation, voice, gender, and culture. 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The papers in this volume challenge the concept of form and aim to set out, explore and develop different theories and examples of 'the formless'. In so doing, they raise questions of form, and notions of formlessness (as distinct from something called 'the formless'). The starting point for many of the contributors is Georges Bataille's highly influential article entitled 'informe' ('formless'). Here, in a context where art, philosophy and anthropology were merging, Bataille tried to question the idea of formlessness as simply applying to things without form. This book, through a diversity of articles in various domains, asks how and why 'the formless' is such a dominant idea from the nineteenth century onwards and it asks the question: 'what is formless ' 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Quand et comment a-t-on systématiquement mis en place des diplômes et des examens en Suisse Dans quelles perspectives et avec quels intérêts des groupes socio-professionnels comme les avocats et les artisans ont-ils tenté, dès le 19 e siècle, de créer des 'diplômes nationaux' Jusqu'où ont-ils mené cette entreprise Si cet ouvrage développe théoriquement ces interrogations et les explore à travers une enquête fondée sur les archives, c'est pour rappeler combien les diplômes et les procédures d'évaluation sont une invention récente qui ne s'est pas imposée sans résistances, ni croyances en un mélange détonant de sélectivité et de légitimité méritocratiques. C'est aussi pour montrer que les diplômes sont une pièce essentielle dans la constitution d'un espace national, d'un Etat-nation, une étape majeure par laquelle s'effectue la nationalisation des pratiques et des identités individuelles. Ces rapports étroits entre 'diplômes et nation' expliquent que l'internationalisation contemporaine des certifications vient bouleverser un ordre national des diplômes qui, même dans le contexte helvétique, forme une frontière tenace. Cette socio-histoire politique des certifications donne ainsi des clés pour cerner l'impact des diplômes et de leur standardisation aujourd'hui. 308 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Many critics and some historians consider resistance in Nazi Germany as too little and too late. Few Germans were willing to take risks, and others began to oppose the Third Reich only when the end was in sight. However, despite the threat of prison, concentration camp, or death, there were many diverse groups from the academic, military, and spiritual sectors of society that challenged the Reich¿s harsh, unjust policies. This book represents the spectrum of these forms of resistance and illustrates the courage of those who dared to confront the Nazi government.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of essays is part of a project that surveys American literatures in terms of the writers' responses to international literature. Among English American novelists, 1860s to 1990s, James and Howells contributed significantly to the programmatic 'Great American Novel' by broadening the internationality they engaged with to include French and Russian books among the works to which they related their own. Faulkner is a key figure of a later phase when a number of American authors, while drawing upon a similar breadth of internationality, in turn became exemplary abroad in various countries. Morrison, interpreted as contributing to intra-American internationality, and the French Canadian writer Hébert, discussed in a summarizing essay, represent responses to Faulkner. 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -European Intertexts is the first fruit of an ongoing collaborative study aiming to challenge the isolationism of much critical work on English literature by exploring the interdependence of English and continental European literatures in writing by women. While later volumes will deal with specific texts, this introductory volume provides a descriptive framework and a theoretical basis for studies in the field. Covering issues such as the role of English as a world language, the definition of 'Europe', and the current state of Translation Studies, the book also surveys theories of intertextuality and demonstrates intertextual links between written and visual and film texts. This book is itself pioneering in making a systematic approach to women's writings in English in the context of other European cultures. Although Europe is a political reality, this cultural interpenetration remains largely unexamined, and these essays represent an important first step towards revealing that unexplored richness. 300 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Das Europäische Zentrum für wissenschaftliche, ökumenische und kulturelle Zusammenarbeit mit seinem Sitz in Würzburg hat die Kyrillo-methodianische Forschung zu ihrem Anliegen gemacht. Die byzantinischen Slavenapostel Methodios (815-885) und Kyrillos (826-869) aus Thessaloniki können als Vorreiter einer kirchlichen und politischen Einheit der heutigen Diskussion über dieses Thema entscheidende Impulse geben. Die zehn Beiträge des Bandes befassen sich mit der europäischen Dimension des Missionswerkes der genannten Gebrüder, die aufgrund ihrer immensen Leistung 1980 von Papst Paul II. als Patrone Europas gefeiert wurden. Ihr Wirken in Mähren und Pannonien fiel in die Zeit einer höchst kritischen Wende der kirchlichen und politischen Beziehungen zwischen Ost und West. Als die politische und kirchliche Entfremdung begann, kamen Methodios und Kyrillos nach Südost- und Westeuropa als Boten einer ungetrennten Kirche und als Träger einer großen byzantinischen Kulturexpansion, welche die Fundamente einer eigenständigen Kulturtradition legen sollte. Die renommierten Referenten dieses Bandes sind allen Fragen, die mit Leben und Wirken dieser Slavenapostel zusammenhängen, auf den Grund gegangen und konnten neue Aspekte bezüglich des gesamten Fragenkomplexes aufzeigen. 358 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.
