Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -At the start of the twenty-first century, government mandates and corporate practices are resulting in growing inequities in the U.S. educational field. Many view this as being driven by whiteness hegemony. Undoing Whiteness in the Classroom is a comprehensive effort to bring together, in one volume, educultural practices and teaching strategies that deconstruct whiteness hegemony, empower individuals to develop critical consciousness, and inspire them to engage in social justice activism. Through music, the visual and performing arts, narrative, and dialogue, educulturalism opens us up to becoming more aware of the oppressive cultural and institutional forces that make up whiteness hegemony. Educulturalism allows us to identify how whiteness hegemony functions to obscure the power, privilege, and practices of the dominant social elite, and reproduce inequities and inequalities within education and wider society. 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Liability risk for corporate directors has never been higher than today. Increasingly people are concerned that suitably qualified individuals may be deterred from accepting positions as company directors. But what makes corporate directors so vulnerable Corporate directors are finding their decisions and actions scrutinized by an ever-growing list of powerful and active parties. Keeping the government, shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and even competitors satisfied is a formidable challenge. Decisions made in the boardroom are being questioned with greater frequency by those outside their walls. If something goes wrong, critics do not just scrutinize, they take action, formally challenging management decisions and actions in court or through regulatory channels. Under UK Law alone there are more than 250 areas of statutory liability. But the danger does not end there. As companies expand and open offices abroad, they encounter regulations and exposures which they are usually unfamiliar with. The business opportunities are good, but the risk of being sued is very high. This book focuses on the liabilities of corporate directors under English Law. It wants to clarify questions like what the potential personal liabilities for directors are or how directors can limit their exposure to liabilities. 74 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book documents how preservice and inservice English teachers negotiate the transfer of the social justice pedagogies they learn in university methods classes to their own work as beginning full-time teachers. Based on a set of teacher narratives, this critical and evidence-based view of English teachers' interpretations of, responses to, and embodiments of social justice explores the complex shifts and concessions that English teachers often make when transitioning between preservice and inservice spaces - shifts which cause teachers to embrace and negotiate a social justice agenda in their classrooms, or for some, to modify, or even abandon it altogether. This work also offers a fresh perspective on the specific, context-dependent pathways and mechanisms through which English teachers enter school culture and respond to their own racial, sexual, and financial positions in relation to the gendered, raced, and classed positions of their schools, students, and classrooms. The book will be useful to social justice researchers, English teacher educators, inservice and preservice teachers, policymakers, cross-disciplinary teacher education fields, and interdisciplinary audiences, particularly in the fields of anthropology, sociology of education, philosophy, and cultural studies. 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the last fifty years, Korea has transformed itself from an agrarian, Confucian-based culture into a global and technological powerhouse, and one of the most important political and economic forces in the world. Based on previous research and face-to-face interviews, the book shows how contemporary Koreans negotiate traditional Confucian values and Western capitalistic values in their everyday encounters ¿ particularly in business and professional contexts. This is a useful companion book for courses in international business, intercultural communication, and Asian studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 222 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Mirror Images: Popular Culture and Education is the first international and multidisciplinary effort to coalesce knowledge on education and popular culture studied as broad phenomena and not as a collection of case studies. In this volume, popular culture has been thematically treated as it appears in a variety of media, including movies, digital games, advertising, television, popular songs, and the internet. The book considers education in both formal and informal settings, and looks critically at the accepted dichotomy between education and popular culture. It argues that popular culture is capable of educating and that education shares many characteristics with popular culture, and tries to overcome these dichotomous relationships while also trying to clarify the reciprocal effects between the two. The book calls disciplinary and media boundaries into question in an effort to widen the possibility of enlarging the vocabulary and the verbs of all that stays unnamed by what is considered knowledge. 236 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -«Strictly speaking», James Carey wrote, «there is no history of mass communication research.» This volume is a long-overdue response to Carey¿s comment about the field¿s ignorance of its own past. The collection includes essays of historiographical self-scrutiny, as well as new histories that trace the field¿s institutional evolution and cross-pollination with other academic disciplines. The volume treats the remembered past of mass communication research as crucial terrain where boundaries are marked off and futures plotted. The collection, intended for scholars and advanced graduate students, is an essential compass for the field.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 408 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Since her forced migration to the United States, the African American woman has consciously developed a literary tradition based on fundamental evolutionary principles of mind and body. She has consistently resisted attempts by patriarchs and matriarchs alike to romanticize and redefine that biologically-based literary heritage. This volume of ten classic texts, including such nineteenth-century writers as Jarena Lee, Harriet Jacobs, and Angelina Grimké, documents for teachers and general readers how African American female self-portraits gradually crystallized over some three centuries of brutality imposed by white men and their surrogates, who legally raped and then branded her immoral, precisely because she was black and female. This anthology also explores how her literary features were further defined during the postbellum era of Jim Crow segregation and civil rights abuses. Readers cannot adequately understand this woman's unique story without learning how and, more importantly, why mental and physical atrocities so gruesome that most people cringe to think of them were inflicted upon her black female self in this land. 352 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Zadie Smith: Critical Essays is a timely collection of critical articles examining how Zadie Smith¿s novels and short stories interrogate race, postcolonialism, and identity. Essays explore the various ways Smith approaches issues of race, either by deconstructing notions of race or interrogating the complexity of biracial identity; and how Smith takes on contemporary debates concerning notions of Britishness, Englishness, and Black Britishness. Some essays also consider the shifting identities adopted by those who identify with both British and West Indian, South Asian, or East Asian ancestry. Other essays explore Smith¿s contemporary postcolonial approach to Britain¿s colonial legacy, and the difference between how immigrants and first-generation British-born children deal with cultural alienation and displacement. This thought-provoking collection is a much-needed critical tool for students and researchers in both contemporary British literature and Diasporic literature and culture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 232 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book is about three primary serial contributors to Once a Week during the critical period when it was featured as the rival magazine of Dickens's All the Year Round. Divergent as their natures were, the three writers - Reade, Meredith and Martineau - took markedly different stands and separated themselves from the popular Dickensian trend in the competitive journalistic world. This study not just uncovers the long neglected Victorian weekly, but also writers of genuine originality and great thinkers. The three often underestimated writers and their serial publications represent cross-sections of the dynamic Victorian journalism. Discoveries of the Dickens's «rival group» supplement Dickensian studies. 160 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book examines how a new dialect emerges. It is based on empirical research carried out in Waumandee, Wisconsin, a small community set in a linguistically uncharted territory in North America. Waumandee English is influenced by the native languages of settlers who arrived from different parts of Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Poland, Austria and Ireland. Traditional dialectology augmented by sociolinguistic and psychological parameters enables the reader to follow the path of current dialect emergence in Waumandee English. 214 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Appuyé sur une série de recherches relevant pour une grande partie de la psychologie sociale, cet ouvrage a pour objectif fondamental de déterminer les conditions psychosociales d'un rapport aux identités susceptible de nourrir une confiance dans la possibilité de vivre ou de revivre dynamiquement ensemble dans un monde commun. Contrairement à la thèse selon laquelle cette confiance est d'autant plus forte que nous parvenons à mettre entre parenthèses toutes ces appartenances particulières censées nous séparer les uns des autres, l'auteur démontre avec rigueur qu'un certain type d'usage de nos identités sociales est nécessaire pour que s'instaure une véritable démocratisation de la vie sociale-historique. L'enjeu, ici, est d'établir que nos différentes appartenances, loin d'empêcher une solidarité générale entre individus, sont au contraire nécessaires à sa construction. Une société d'individus indifférenciés ne pourrait ainsi se construire que sur le modèle sécuritaire de l'ordre. Seule la constitution de nos appartenances en « identités intermédiaires » peut générer un engagement autour d'enjeux de solidarité. En ouvrant un champ de recherche inédit entre psychologie sociale et philosophie sociale, ce livre entend ainsi proposer une réflexion originale sur la productivité démocratique d'une certaine forme de mobilisation de nos identités. 210 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -There are various opinions on the relevance of the United Nations concerning the authorisation of the use of force. Idealists demand UN authorisation for any type of intervention and strict adherence to a narrow interpretation of international law. Realists have a more sceptical stance, arguing that international law and international institutions are only successful under specific circumstances. Neoconservatives defy international law and international institutions. These arguments are compared and then applied to several case studies. It is explained why unilateralist thinking is not viable; why the use of force in circumvention of the UN framework is never legal; and that cases where intervention is illegal but legitimate necessitate reform of international laws and institutions. 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage se penche sur le concept de conversion et évalue sa pertinence à la lumière de l¿ethnographie d¿une population de Papouasie occidentale, les Asmat. Son originalité tient au caractère récent de l¿évangélisation (depuis 1953), à la transformation de pratiques culturelles asmat complexes telles que la chasse aux têtes, et à la présence simultanée de missionnaires catholiques et protestants (essentiellement croisiers et évangéliques). Réalisé en des circonstances politiques tendues, l¿ouvrage compare ces missions d¿un point de vue anthropologique et ecclésiologique et leur influence réciproque sur les populations. Au-delà du champ strictement religieux, l¿évangélisation se décline dans de nombreux domaines de la vie : architecture, dation du nom, organisation du temps, alimentation, sorcellerie, relations familiales, ancestralité, rapports entre l¿homme et la nature, parures corporelles, sexualité, funérailles, etc. Complétant cette étude, une anthropologie du missionnaire pionnier grâce à l¿immersion du chercheur dans les communautés et les familles missionnaires est également proposée. Enfin, les notions de « chrétien » et de « converti » sont au c¿ur d¿une polémique divisant ceux qui se revendiquent de la foi chrétienne. Dans les débats d¿idées sur la conversion apparaît un vide théorique qüun nouveau concept s¿apprête à combler : l¿enchristianisation. 322 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The outbreak of the plague in 1347, commonly referred to as the Black Death, was the source of numerous socio-economic changes in the later Middle Ages. Numerous studies have traced the progress and effects of the disease in countries such as Germany, England, France, and Spain. Such a study concerning Spain has been conspicuously absent until now. The present investigation is among the first to bring together information that documents the pernicious behavior of the disease in Spain and to demonstrate how it changed the societies it afflicted. Studying the medical and imaginative texts of medieval Spain, reveals that the disease did, in fact, help change the perceived role of the medical practitioner, the idea of public health, and the portrayal of death and dying. 130 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Il y a plus d'un siècle, Michel Bréal institua l'analyse du sens dans le langage. À partir de là, le développement de la sémantique repose sur des paradigmes, qui constituent de véritables métaphores de la nature générale du langage. Cet ouvrage montre que, hors des modèles logiques, la sémantique s'est historiquement développée à travers quatre paradigmes. Le sens linguistique relève de la vie mentale des individus pour le paradigme psychologiste qui réunit Bréal, Brunot, Damourette et Pichon, Guillaume et Bally. La nature incertaine de cette vie mentale porte le structuralisme de Saussure, Greimas, Rastier et Wierzbicka à envisager le sens comme dérivant de l'équilibre des oppositions internes à la langue. Les déterminismes de cette organisation sont associés aux conditions de sa mise en oeuvre pour le paradigme de l'énonciation élaboré par Benveniste, Ducrot, Anscombre, Nølke et Culioli. Ils sont pour le cognitivisme de Kleiber, de Cadiot, de Fuchs et pour la Grammaire cognitive dérivés d'un esprit au fonctionnement mécaniste. Permettant de délimiter la forme et l'évolution des paradigmes scientifiques, l'analyse des théories donne à voir l'état actuel de la discipline et les questions qu'elle sera appelée à résoudre. 184 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book addresses the problems of the nature of the category of aspect, its formal expression and its relation to Action modes, to the Aorist/Imperfect and Perfect/Non-Perfect distinctions. The discussion is largely based on data from Bulgarian - a Slavonic language where aspect as a grammatical category systematically coexists not only with verbal prefixation, but also with temporal boundedness, correlation and, in the nominal sphere, definiteness. Cross-language parallels with English and French data and the mapping of Bulgarian structures to notions drawn from the «western» tradition of aspectual study result in the outline of a framework for an integrated study of the expression of aspectuality in languages belonging to different language groups. Refuting existing views of aspect as a «compensatory» phenomenon for nominal definiteness, the book presents arguments in favour of a systematic relation between verbal prefixation and NP quantification in Slavonic languages and of a compositional, syntactic dimension of aspectual analysis. 248 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book casts a new light on Rousseau's personality and beliefs. Although the predominant thinkers of the time had a deistic outlook (God as distant and impersonal) and stressed rationalism and enlightenment, Rousseau stressed man's moral and spiritual aspects and needs, including praying to a God who listens and may respond. In this book, Charles A. Spirn has collected the prayers Rousseau wrote, which are scattered throughout his writings, thus publishing his acclaimed dissertation. Rousseau's beliefs are shown to be largely theistic, believing in a God who rules the world and has a personal, providential, and responsive relationship with humanity. He is increasingly seen as the most influential French thinker of the 18th century who challenged the great of his day. Both clergymen and laymen turned to him for guidance in spiritual and existential matters. 172 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In view of the importance of coastal areas to Baltic countries, integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is a matter of prime concern. ICZM is also an important feature of the project Coastal Zone Management in the Baltic Sea Region (COASTMAN), undertaken in the context of the Interreg IIIB (Baltic Sea) Programme. These experiences are presented in this book, which begins with an overview of the issue of conflict resolution in coastal zone management followed by a description of a set of administrative and legal processes and of case studies in the following regions: Hamburg (Germany), Haapsalu (Estonia), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Primorsk (Russia), Stockholm (Sweden) and Ventspils (Latvia). The third part presents information relating to the educational and training aspects of conflict resolution in ICZM. Thanks to its scope and trans-national dimension, this Handbook will be instrumental for organisations responsible for ICZM and will provide some inspiration towards initiatives that can be undertaken at the local level in order to better understand, and hopefully address, conflicts arising in coastal areas. 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Multiculturalism has recently become a word without which hardly any discussion of identity, nationality or historical and ideological narratives seems possible. However, the popularity of this word and its current usefulness should not obscure the fact that the concept itself is not an easy and obvious one: many apparently firm assumptions have been disputed from a multicultural perspective, while there are still a great number of social, cultural and political spheres which need to be re-defined and re-articulated as some dominant notions and symbols have been subverted by recognition of the diversity of subjective positions and cultural identities. The concept of multiculturalism assumes that our identities - both individual and collective - are shaped by our relationships with others. This volume addresses issues of multiculturalism and identity in culture and reveals a wide spectrum of perspectives from which we look at the Other/the Unfamiliar/the Unknown. It is an attempt to reveal the patterns and practices our culture has used in order to envisage, negate or welcome the Other, and seeks to contribute to the ongoing discussion about multiculturalism. 192 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Lorsque Georges Pompidou est nommé Premier ministre en avril 1962, il n¿a jamais brigué les suffrages des électeurs. Grâce à l¿expérience des élections acquise au temps du RPF puis comme directeur de cabinet du général de Gaulle, il s¿engage dans la bataille électorale dès l¿automne 1962.C¿est précisément du rôle de Georges Pompidou dans les élections, d¿abord en tant que Premier ministre et chef de la majorité de 1962 à 1968, puis comme chef de l¿État de 1969 à 1974, dont il sera question dans cet ouvrage.Les archives de la présidence de la République soulignent quelques temps forts : les élections législatives de 1967 et de 1973, les présidentielles de 1969 et le référendum sur l¿Europe en 1972. Mises en perspective avec d¿autres sources (Le Journal de l¿Élysée de Jacques Foccart par exemple), elles apportent un éclairage nouveau sur les relations entre Matignon et l¿Élysée, entre Georges Pompidou et le mouvement gaulliste, et sur ses liens avec d¿autres forces politiques, en particulier les centristes. Elles dévoilent le « candidat Pompidou » en campagne, avec ses déplacements, ses grands discours électoraux, ses interventions dans les médias. Ces archives offrent ainsi un témoignage de premier ordre sur l¿organisation des campagnes électorales dans les années 1960-1970, et montrent comment l¿homme de la terre cantalienne a construit son image d¿homme d¿État. 346 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Revelation 19:11-21 is a passage rich in symbol and allusion, much of which proves elusive for interpreters restricting themselves to Old Testament references. However, when Greco-Roman history and mythology are examined, new possibilities are discovered. Revelation 19 in Historical and Mythological Context analyzes the Roman triumph and the Parthian threat as sources for the colorful imagery in Revelation 19, ultimately exploring the Nero redivivus myth as the nexus between the two and a key for unlocking the passage. Paradox and parody are important themes in this technical though theological study of the climax to the drama that is the Apocalypse. 214 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Inspired by the international conference 'Landscapes of Exile: Once Perilous, Now Safe' held in Australia in 2006, this book examines the experience and nature of exile - one of the most powerful and recurrent themes of the human condition. In response to the central question posed of how the experience of exile has impacted on society and culture, this book offers a rich collection of essays. Through a kaleidoscope of views on the metaphorical, spatial, imaginative, re¿ective and experiential nature of exile, it investigates a diverse range of landscapes of belonging and exclusion - social, cultural, legal, poetic, literary, indigenous, political - that confront humanity. At the very heart of landscapes of exile is the irony of history, and therefore of identity and home. Who is now safe and who is not What was perilous Who now is in peril What does it mean to belong This book provides key examinations of these questions. 284 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In Configurations of Rape in the Hebrew Bible, Frank M. Yamada explores the compelling similarity among three rape narratives found in the Hebrew Scriptures. These three stories - the rape of Dinah (Genesis 34), the rape of an unnamed concubine (Judges 19), and the rape of Tamar, daughter of David (2 Samuel 13) - move through the same plot progression: an initial sexual violation of a woman leads to escalating violence among men, resulting in some form of social fragmentation. In this intriguing study, Yamada draws from the disciplines of literary and narrative criticism, feminist biblical interpretation, and cultural anthropology to argue for a family resemblance among these three stories about rape.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 180 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Complexity, Multi-Disciplinarity, and Beyond addresses the issue of complexity mainly in the fields of humanities and social sciences. It is a continuation of Interdisciplinarity: Toward the Definition of a Metadiscipline (Lang, 2001) in which the main question is related to the role of interdisciplinarity and disciplinarian thinking in confronting complexity in general. The present book focuses on complexity in the humanities but also revisits some of the ideas brought forth in Interdisciplinarity, concerning the limitations of disciplinarian thinking and interdisciplinarity in their confrontations with complexity. The development of conceptual tools, as well as theories and models for complexity outside the realm of «hard» sciences, is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, it is essential to learn to cope with complexity, and every effort in this area must be encouraged. 148 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is a study of the category of definiteness in the light of research on mental spaces and frames. The author formulates a set of eight uniform rules for the use of the definite, indefinite, and zero articles in English and German. The Concept of Definiteness presents an algorithm for nominal reference resolution that uses the definiteness value of each noun phrase to guide the search for its referent. The book discusses the results of the application of an automated system based on the proposed algorithm to texts in modern English. It also demonstrates applicability of the selected approach to text fragments representing all major historical variants of the German language. 162 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -One of the most lamentable aspects of Christendom's history has been the long-standing antipathy of some of its members toward persons of the Jewish faith. However, the writer of Mark's gospel did not intend to promulgate such antipathy. Parker's groundbreaking re-assessment of how the evangelist applies Jewish scriptures serves to establish the true nature of Mark's unfavourable depiction of Judaism's custodians as a theological construct. The overriding purpose behind Mark's caricature of Jesus' compatriots was to explain the presence of «faulty» belief, or even unbelief, among a Gentile readership. Subsequent generations have mistakenly given historical credence to Mark's account of Jesus's ministry. Regrettably, this has resulted in the erroneous theological legitimization of atrocities against the Jews. 364 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Pour la première fois dans les temps modernes, une église locale, l'église du Congo (ex-Zaïre), a créé pour son peuple un rite de la messe qui lui est propre dans la fidélité à la liturgie chrétienne et au génie culturel africain. L'histoire de ce rite comporte des aspects non seulement liturgiques et pastoraux, mais aussi strictement théologiques ; l'identité de l'église locale dans la communion de l'Église universelle en est le principal enjeu. En effet, à l'heure où la réflexion sur la relation théologiquement fondée entre Église universelle et église locale paraît préoccupante, l'auteur propose une étude qui retrace le chemin de l'église locale du Congo et en même temps amorce une inculturation de la théologie eucharistique à partir du rite célébré et en lien avec les mentalités du peuple. L'intérêt de cette étude dépasse le cadre de la seule église du Congo et s'étend à toutes les églises locales en quête d'identité. 308 pp. Französisch.
