Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ten authors from five countries present a variety of fresh analyses of the strategies Germans have adopted in coping with the Nazi past. Through historical, sociological, educational, and cultural approaches the unresolved tensions existing in German society ¿ between the will to be accepted as an integral part of western civilization and to put the Nazi chapter in general and the Holocaust in particular behind, on the one hand, and an awareness of responsibility combined with recurring, sometimes sudden, manifestations of long-term results and implications of the past, on the other ¿ are analyzed. Through its multifaceted approach, this book contributes to a better understanding of present-day German society and of Germany¿s delicate relationships with both the United States and Israel. 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -How does contemporary Irish poetry migrate from traditional conceptions of identity drawn on by the cultural nationalism of the Irish Literary Revival What effects does this have on our understanding of gendered and national identity formation Chapters of this study focus on the work of Seamus Heaney, Tom Paulin, Paul Muldoon, Medbh McGuckian, Eavan Boland and Sara Berkeley. Looking at poets from North and South of the border, the book asks how does a younger generation of writers provide a response to nationality which is significantly different from their predecessors. Exploring feminist and post-colonial theorization of identity, this study interrogates the intellectual and political agenda of a new generation of Irish poets, while calling into question the implied divisions between poetry, theory and a practical politics. 294 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Werke von Albert Camus werden auch heute noch meist nur unter der Überschrift des Absurden und des Existentialismus gelesen. Eine Analyse der Bedeutung der Kunst in seinen Prosawerken und in seinen theoretischen Schriften zeigt einen anderen Camus, der das Absurde lediglich als Befund versteht. Als Antwort auf die Absurdität der Welt entwickelt er eine Ästhetik, die er mit der Autonomie der Kunst begründet und die er zugleich den Ideologien des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts entgegensetzt. 116 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Am prägnantesten hat Johann Friedrich Herbart in seiner Konzeption das Problem neuzeitlichen Unterrichts benannt. Es geht darum, die Vermittlung von Alltags-, Verfügungs- und Orientierungswissen zu leisten und Übergänge in praktische Handlungssituationen des Schullebens beziehungsweise Lebensalltags zu gewährleisten. Demzufolge obliegt erziehendem Unterricht die Aufgabe, beim Schüler mittels eines reflexiven Lernprozesses die Fähigkeit zum eigenen Urteil herauszubilden. Erfahrung und Umgang fungieren als Ausgangspunkte eines erziehenden Unterrichts und sind zugleich bleibende Horizonte menschlicher Praxis. Dies erfordert dann aber auch ein reflexives Verhältnis zwischen den Generationen (Lehrer ¿ Schüler), offene Kommunikations- und Interaktionsformen, so daß es möglich wird, unterschiedliche Sichtweisen, Orientierungen und Sinndeutungen zu reflektieren. Bewußt initiierte Erfahrungsorientierung schärft somit den Blick für die Differenzen im identifizierenden Geflecht alltäglicher Routinen. 260 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Franz Innerhofer (1944-2002) gehört zu den bedeutendsten österreichischen Autoren der 1970er Jahre. Mit seinem Debutroman «Schöne Tage» sicherte er sich einen festen Platz in der deutschsprachigen Literaturgeschichte als Elendsrealist, sowie ¿ gemeinsam mit Handke, Bernhard, Jelinek und Jonke ¿ als Hauptvertreter der Anti-Heimatliteratur und der Neuen Subjektivität. Die Studie würdigt erstmals differenziert Innerhofer als Erzähler: Im Anschluß an die bisher vernachlässigte Rekonstruktion seiner expliziten Poetik bilden drei systematische Einzelanalysen der Romane Schöne Tage (1974), Schattseite ( 1975) und Die großen Wörter ( 1977) den Hauptteil der Arbeit. Sie offenbaren eine zunehmend radikalere Modernität im Einsatz erzählerischer Mittel, die Innerhofer sogar in die Nähe der Postmoderne rückt und die sein Werk jenseits einer Stigmatisierung als Dokumentarliteratur auch als Teil der bedeutenden österreichischen Tradition avancierten und avantgardistischen Schreibens erkennbar macht. Ein erstmals vorgelegter Forschungsbericht sowie eine Werkbibliographie runden die Studie ab. 256 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Arbeit untersucht antikes Völkerrecht unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der stets aktuellen Problematik der zwischenstaatlichen Friedenssicherung. Der Friedensvertrag von Kadesch von 1270 v. Chr., der Friede des Antalkidas von 386 v. Chr. und der Friedensvertrag zwischen Byzanz und Persien von 562 n. Chr. bieten drei Momentaufnahmen von Verfahren und Regelungen, die zeitlich jeweils etwa 1000 Jahre auseinanderliegen und so eine Betrachtung der allgemeinen Entwicklung des antiken Völkerrechts sowie der antiken Diplomatie ermöglichen. Die Analyse der Friedensschlußproblematik anhand von Präzedenzfällen bietet zugleich eine soziologische wie staatsethische Betrachtung der conditio humana und zeigt interessante Parallelen zu heutigen Problemen auf. 164 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Anordnung der Testamentsvollstreckung erlangte in den letzten Jahren eine steigende praktische Relevanz. Dabei mag vor allem der Wunsch des Erblassers im Vordergrund stehen, die zu Lebzeiten geschaffenen Vermögenswerte zusammenzuhalten und über den Todeszeitpunkt hinaus Einfluss auf die Verwaltung oder die Verteilung des Nachlasses ausüben zu können. Dieses Ansinnen schafft ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Testamentsvollstrecker und Erbe, welches naturgemäß einen umfangreichen rechtlichen Problemkreis eröffnet. Der Verfasser untersucht das Rechtsverhältnis zwischen Testamentsvollstrecker und Erbe und zeigt die hierbei auftretenden Problemkreise und Ansprüche auf. Insbesondere hinterfragt er kritisch die bisherige Praxis der Rechtssprechung im Entlassungsverfahren des Testamentsvollstreckers auf Antrag des Erben. 362 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Was ist Phantasie, was ist Magie, was Illusion, was Dämonie, was Utopie Wie wirken solche Phänomene als mentale Zustände Dieses Buch ist eine Studie der verschiedenen «Landschaften» des menschlichen Bewußtseins. Während unsere Welterfahrung sich unter den Diktaten der Massen- und Mediengesellschaft zunehmend «veräußerlicht», droht die Erkenntnis in Vergessenheit zu geraten, daß es die innere Welt ist, welche die äußere Wirklichkeit bestimmt ¿ zumindest solange solche Wirklichkeit als mental und kulturell bedeutsam erachtet wird. Dementsprechend handelt es sich hier nicht um eine neue Theorie des Bewußtseins, sondern um eine Topographie, welche die Orte «kartographiert», deren Ensemble die Welt in unserem Kopf bildet. Es wird ein Spektrum vorgestellt, auf dem magische, mythische, träumerische, mystisch-religiöse, dämonisch-pathologische, ideologische, rational-empirische, psychedelische, utopische u. a. Bewußtseinsformen beschrieben und in ihren spezifischen Ausprägungen und (Fehl-) Leistungen voneinander abgegrenzt werden. 25 Kapitel beleuchten unter den verschiedensten Aspekten die Topik des Bewußtseins und behandeln die schillernde Dialektik von Innen und Außen. 492 pp. Deutsch.

Il insiste sur les projets des Etats-Unis pour l'Europe après la Seconde Guerre, sur la réaction de certains pays européens aux voeux américains, et sur la permanente rivalité Etats-Unis-Europe, en particulier dans le domaine de l'économie et de la défense.

It discusses American plans for Europe after the Second World War and European reactions to them. It stresses the importance of a permanent Euro-American rivalry in partnership, especially in the fields of economy and defence; but it maintains that the Euro-American partnership is necessary until such time as the European Union is able to determine its own future.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When something is in focus, light falls on it from different angles. The lexicon can be viewed from different sides. Six views are represented in this volume: a cognitivist view of vagueness and lexicalization, a psycholinguistic view of lexical access in speech production, a patholinguistic view of lexical organization in schizophrenics, and three analyses from different points of view in computational linguistics, which deal with problems of the syntax-semantics interface, compositionality, and systematic polysemy. A metalinguistic initial contribution outlines the historical development of lexical semantics with its complementary, competing and converging strands. The introduction completes this integration of the different facets of research into a wider picture of lexicology. 222 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The dawn of a new millennium offers an opportunity to reappraise the achievements of contemporary English-language theatre and drama in an increasingly cross-cultural age. New multicultural voices are gaining access to the international English stage, which today more than ever is becoming a crucible of cultures. The many challenging essays gathered in this volume reflect this developing mosaic. Written by prominent theatre scholars from Europe, the United States, Canada, Asia, and Australia, these contributions explore recent drama not only in the United Kingdom and the United States, but also in such countries of the former British Empire as Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Focusing on major Anglophone dramatists of the past few decades, these essays provide a fascinating survey of the myriad ways in which English-language drama in transition transcends traditional aesthetic and cultural boundaries. 343 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -German colonisation in Samoa from 1900 to 1914 was characterised by the interplay of conflicting definitions of race. The central question this study asks is to what extent, and in which ways, ideologies of race shaped German colonial policy in Samoa. It analyses the administration's paternalist development policies, debates over white settlement, the introduction and treatment of indentured labourers, and the legal classification of mixed marriages and half-castes. The author argues that rather than uniting the colonising community in a racist mission of domination, racial thought amplified the fissures in German Samoa's population and supported the administration's Realpolitik. 206 pp.

Neuware -In many fields of today's scientific research there are scholars who deal with symbolic systems such as painting, music or verbal languages. No matter what the main content of every single discipline may be, the real challenge is to build up something like a general theory for languages. It is in this context that we may place the studies of some important philosophers such as János S. Petöfi and Nelson Goodman or - in another respect - Willard Orman Quine and Donald Davidson, who are taken into consideration by the author of this work. The book is organized by using an original mix of theoretical starting points (about the destinies of philology, translation, the theory of notation) and of practical text-analyses (of Greek music and of popular religious painting). The result of such a path is the outline of a new theory of sign and communication called 'editor theory'.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 300 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book explores the problem of credit market segmentation, a widespread phenomenon in developing countries, within a theoretical framework based on graphical analysis. It investigates the causes and effects of this problem, and the impact of possible solutions. Credit market segmentation is an outgrowth of information-related problems and high transaction costs in lending. It leads to segmentation in labour markets and also results in inefficient factor allocation and highly skewed income distribution patterns. A theoretical impact analysis shows that microcredit programmes can eliminate the causes and effects of credit market segmentation and that their impact is much broader than is usually assumed. This book should be required reading for everyone who is interested in microcredit.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 176 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The inconspicuous status of the indigenous languages of Botswana often leads into the wrong belief that this country's population is basically monolingual. Setswana, the only national language, overshadows 25 or so minority languages by making them vulnerable to language shift and death. Shiyeyi, the focal point in this study, is the second largest minority language which so desperately struggles for its survival. The author contributes to the effort to preserve and develop the remnants of this endangered language by launching its very first comprehensive grammar that will serve both as reference material to teachers and focus of further research. Accessibility of the contents to a potentially large and diversified audience is enhanced by the translations provided. The book is based on authentic data. It covers systematically the Shiyeyi noun classes before proceeding with similar structural descriptions of the other major word categories. It concludes with a generative-transformational treatment of the sentence structure. The glossary compiled towards the end is based on the rich illustrations given in the book and constitutes a starting point in an attempt to develop a future Shiyeyi dictionary.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 176 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Ce volume part de la conviction que l'intention du théâtre moderne et contemporain ne peut être saisie en dehors d'une réflexion sur la dimension du spectateur, à la fois en tant que public visé et présence imaginée. Si le spectateur n'est pas toujours, s'il n'est pas forcément celui à qui le spectacle s'adresse, s'il y a une multitude de façons de penser sa présence, le fait théâtral ne prend cependant son sens que par rapport à cette troisième dimension qui lui donne son relief, sa profondeur et sa portée théorique. Toutefois, la problématique choisie ne se limite pas à la théâtralité au sens étroit du terme. Les contributions ici rassemblées montrent bien qu'il est essentiel de repenser «la place du spectateur» comme un phénomène qui déborde la théâtralité au sens strict pour s'inscrire au coeur de la pratique scripturale et artistique. C'est donc au théâtre en tant que pratique visant, non pas simplement à donner à voir, mais à provoquer et à retourner un regard, ainsi qu'à notre devoir de repenser, toujours à nouveau, les modalités et les enjeux du rapport entre la scène et le spectateur, entre l'oeuvre et son public, que le présent ouvrage est consacré.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 172 pp. Französisch.

Seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt hat sich Jürgen Schriewer unter dem Stichwort der ,Internationalisierung der Pädagogik' einem Forschungsprogramm verpflichtet, das dem zunehmenden Einfluss supranationaler Zusammenhänge und Entwicklungen auf die semantische Konstruktion von Kultur und Bildung Rechnung tragen soll. Die Beiträge des Bandes nehmen diese Inspiration auf und bieten weitere Analysen zu dieser Problemstellung. Aus theoretischer, historischer und gegenwartsbezogener Perspektive werden die vergangenen und gegenwärtigen Pfade und Logiken von Internationalisierung und Internationalität im Bildungsbereich bei fortdauernder Bedeutung des Nationalen thematisiert. 'Internationalisation' has become a widely used concept also in educational discourse. For over a decade, Jürgen Schriewer has been involved in research addressing the 'internationalisation of educational knowledge', thus taking into account the increasing influence of supra-national interrelationships and developments on the semantic construction of culture and education. The contributors to this volume have been inspired by this research project and provide further analyses within this thematic complex. From theoretical, historical and present-day perspectives, the paths and logics of internationalisation and internationality within past and present educational settings are illuminated, at the same time acknowledging the enduring significance of national contexts.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 356 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The focus of the papers selected for this volume ranges from the establishment of regional and national literatures for the young to the presentation and characterization of youth and adolescence in diverse forms and formats of literature. The changing goals of canonized texts for educational as well as inspirational purposes are reflected in the diversity of historical and cultural policies of instruction and emancipation through literary and poetical works; historical and sociological aspects dominate these questions addressed to individual works as well as to whole literatures designed for children.On the other hand, the structural properties of children's literature and the actual reception of representative texts by child readers provide an equally fruitful area of psychological, pedagogical or aesthetic investigation. Here the rewriting of different kinds of literatures for the use of children receives as much attention as the creation of works aiming especially at the youthful readership of a given age and area; in this context of critical evaluations a variety of adaptations and reconceptualizations is presented - from medieval Portuguese historiography to Michel Tournier's changing configurations of his own works for different audiences. 274 pp. Französisch, Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Integrating environmental aims in the agricultural policy of the European Union was a main aim of the 1992 CAP-reform. This book presents a study of the socio-economic framing conditions as well as the attitudes and orientations within the agricultural population towards the European agri-environmental policy. It is based on a research project in three member countries, France, Germany, and Portugal, where more than 600 farmers have been interviewed. The results indicate that a change towards more ecologically sustainable forms of agricultural production requires much broader political and social support to grow beyond the dimensions of a marginal green subsector of agriculture. 264 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Poverty remains one of the greatest problems of our time, causing starvation and humiliation in poor countries and contributing to problems of conflict, migration and environmental degradation effecting also richer countries. This study provides a systematical analysis of today's donor strategies for development cooperation, which unite around the goal of poverty reduction. The most recent strategies of the World Bank and the German, British and Swedish official development agencies are compared and evaluated. Their broad consensus on goals and conceptual elements is comprehensively presented. Differences in accentuations regarding beneficiaries and implementation methods are highlighted. An empirical study of the poverty focus in project evaluations of the German Financial Cooperation rounds off the analysis by exemplarily pointing at the practical implications of the new strategies.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 292 pp. Englisch.
