Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Diese wissenschaftliche Publikation befaßt sich mit der Kongruenz von Leben und Werk des Dichter-Juristen Franz Kafka. Es wird der Nachweis erbracht, daß die oft befremdlichen Aussagen Kafkas in seinen Tagebüchern, Briefen, Gesprächen und im Brief an den Vater wie: 'Ich bin noch nicht geboren .' ihre Ursache in einem im freudschen Sinne gestörten Verhältnis zu Eltern und anderen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen haben. Sein Werk ist das verschlossenste unseres Zeitalters, in dem die tiefsten Geheimnisse seiner verstörten Seele versenkt wurden. Die Prosa ist enigmatisch, delphisch, kryptisch mit ihren labyrinthischen Texten. Kafka ist ein psychologischer Vivisekteur. Die Publikation zeigt den Schlüssel zu der hinter der Prosa liegenden Zweitschrift und deren eigentliche Bedeutung. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In much recent theory, the media are described as ephemeral, ubiquitous, and de-localized. Yet the activity of modern media can be traced to spatial centers that are tangible enough - some even monumental. This book offers multidisciplinary and historical perspectives on the buildings of some of the world's major media institutions. Paradoxically, as material and aesthetic manifestations of 'mediated centers' of power, they provide sites to the siteless and solidity to the immaterial. The authors analyse the ways that architectural form and organization reflect different eras, media technologies, ideologies, and relations with the public in media houses from New York and Silicon Valley to London, Moscow, and Beijing. 226 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dieser Band will die religionspädagogisch relevanten Erkenntnisse aus Deutschland und der Türkei für die Lehrpraxis zugänglich machen und somit zur Entwicklung einer zeitgemäßen Gesamtdisziplin 'Religionspädagogik' in der vielseitig pluralen Gesellschaft beitragen. Durch die Analyse der Gedanken der Pioniere der islamischen Religionspädagogik (8.-14. Jahrhundert) wird die Rolle der kulturellen und sozialen Gegebenheiten bei Formung der Erziehungs- und Bildungsvorstellungen in der Vergangenheit erneut sichtbar.

Diesem Sammelband ist es weitgehend gelungen, das Zusammenwirken von Glaubensüberzeugung und Pädagogik sowie Lebens- und Denkwelt des Individuums und der Gesellschaft bei der Entwicklung der Religionspädagogik zu verdeutlichen. 204 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Post-Global Network and Everyday Life explores everyday life in the new world order of global network. It argues that network has come into its own as a state of mind and a way of life ¿ in sum, a cultural norm. As a result, it is no longer fitting to examine the network as an external force, but as a somewhat banal aspect of our everyday environment. The essays in this volume provide analyses of case studies that illustrate new ¿ and old ¿ ways in which everyday life is lived within network. Each chapter examines network as an always-already condition ¿ we are the network, and as such are living in a state of post-global network.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 208 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Through the lens of TV news anchors, this book examines the impact that television news has had on traditional journalistic standards and practices. While TV news anchors boost the power, adulation, and authority of journalism in general, internally, the journalistic community feels that anchors undermine many key journalistic values. This book provides a historical overview of the impact they have had on American journalism, uncovering the changing values, codes of behavior, and boundaries of the journalistic community. In doing so, it reveals that challenges to journalistic standards provide an opportunity to engage in debate that is central to maintaining journalism¿s identity, and demonstrate the ability of the community to self-regulate. The result is that news anchors are kept in check by the community, and the community is prompted to reexamine itself and evolve. The book¿s findings also offer suggestions for thinking about how journalists are dealing with the latest technological challenges posed by the internet and mobile technology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 232 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This is the first edited volume to put the emerging field of web history on the agenda of internet research. Sixteen original chapters investigate how the use of the web has developed in the realm of web culture at large, as well as how the organization of web industries and old media institutions on the web have changed. A number of fundamental theoretical and methodological questions related to doing web history are also examined. The collection aims to explore some of the possible ways of approaching the web of the past, based on the assumption that the past is not only important for historical purposes, but because it must be taken into consideration in order to fully understand the web of the present and the web of the future. The book includes a foreword by Charles Ess and contributions from Kirsten Foot, Steven Schneider, Alexander Halavais, Ken Hillis, and more.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 376 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The story of Rahab (Joshua 2) has traditionally been interpreted as the account of a foreign woman and prostitute who changes the course of her life when she converts to Yahweh. In return for her faithful act of saving the spies sent by Joshua to search the land of Canaan, Rahab and her family obtain salvation once her city of Jericho is destroyed. The story of Jael (Judges 4:17-23) has commonly been read as Jael's violent act of killing Sisera, King Jabin's commander in chief, with a tent peg to his temple while he was asleep. Jael is perceived as someone who fails to fulfill the hospitality codes of her society. The story of Jephthah and his unnamed daughter (Judges 10:6-12:7) describes the tragic event in which Jephthah makes a foolish and horrible vow offering his innocent daughter in sacrifice to God. Typically this text is read as Jephthah being immensely irresponsible and his daughter being the poor victim who pays for her father's oath. Cristina García-Alfonso proposes that the stories of Rahab, Jael, and Jephthah can be particularly enriched and give hope to contemporary contexts of hardship when they are read through the Cuban notion of resolviendo (survival). Using narrative criticism along with different contemporary approaches to the texts including feminist and post-colonial approaches, García-Alfonso's readings of the biblical narratives from a perspective of resolviendo offer insights in the struggle for survival many Cubans face today. Also explored are the implications that a reading through the notion of resolviendo or survival can have for other contexts in contemporary societies where survival is at stake. 134 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The aim of this study is to better understand stable capital growth of German properties and to contribute to the explanation of stable fund returns. In the course of the investigation, evidence is found that both phenomena are interrelated. All analyses are based on publicly available data; therefore they are not limited by client interests. Results show three different pieces of evidence on return smoothing, namely the influence on valuation, the timing of valuations, and the influence on returns resulting in return differences by calendar months. Together with the notion of internationally uniquely stable returns, it seems impossible to extract true asset volatility from the observed appraisal-based time series.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 124 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book puts forward a new and original idea - that, for the sake of humankind, the countries of the world should share sovereignty in a limited number of areas.Unless this is done we will not be able to address global threats. These include global warming, poverty, inequality, terrorism, war and conflict, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the outsourcing of jobs, the instability of the international financial system, the accumulation of power by corporations, the migration of peoples, the depletion of natural resources, the violation of human rights and the spread of pandemics.The first part of the book diagnoses what is wrong with the present system by which the world governs itself. It shows that, sadly, the United Nations is ineffective and that some states are failing.In the second part the author asks: what can be done He explores the reform of the United Nations. He asks if regional organisations, NATO, the European Union, the G8 or the G20 could become a governing body at the global level.It is not realistic to expect any of these things to happen.The third part of the book proposes a global union, modelled on the European Union.Without it, we will not be able to address global challenges.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 352 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The first decades of the 20 century were marked by a crisis. The impact of the Great War, the rise of the workers' revolutionary movement and the National Socialist expansion as well as the disaster of the 1929 crash and the great depression of the 1930s created a landscape of tension, radicalism and political instability. In this context, nutrition emerges as an excellent ground from which to explore the genesis of experimental knowledge, the social interests involved, and the transfer of knowledge and practices to public health, the economy, trade and politics. The exceptional confluence of all factors influencing the interwar period contributed to building the problem of nutrition.This book offers a wide perspective including international agencies committed to a global approach to define nutritional problems, agricultural reforms, surveys in different countries and rural areas, methodological agreements on nutritional standards, the main trends of experimental research, the dreadful impact of the war and some experiments developed in internment camps. The author examines nutrition as a cornerstone to show interactions between science, politics, economy and public health.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 164 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde first appeared in 1886. Readers at the time commented on three major influences at work on the text: Darwinism, the Bible, and Platonism. With the passage of time commentators have tended to focus on either the Darwinian or the biblical implications surrounding Hyde, and the Platonic implications have been more or less overlooked. For a full understanding of Hyde all three must be considered; and they must all be considered together. This book locates Robert Louis Stevenson's Edward Hyde within the history of ideas. It examines a range of texts from earlier literature involving apes or ape-like creatures, thereby revealing a tradition which explores and questions the origins of mankind - theological, philosophical, and scientific - in an attempt to account for the presence of our lower impulses. The chosen texts show that, as knowledge of the natural world increases through exploration and scientific learning, earlier ways of looking at the world have accommodated new ideas by absorbing the new and incorporating it into the old mythological framework. The author demonstrates how this tradition feeds naturally into Stevenson's text, providing a Darwinian-biblical-Platonic context within which to examine Hyde. 374 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bernard Lassus hat der internationalen Landschaftsarchitektur der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte wie nur wenige andere wichtige Impulse gegeben. Er ist nicht nur ein querdenkender Landschaftsarchitekt und Künstler, sondern wirkt in seinen Arbeiten auch als Historiker, Konservator, Archäologe, Botaniker und Gärtner. Mit seinen Projekten widmet er sich den Landschaften von Autobahnen und Industriebrachen ebenso wie historischen Gärten und den «vernacular gardens», den nicht-professionell angelegten Gärten und der Ideenwelt ihrer Besitzer. Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstags ist ihm ein Band gewidmet, der wesentliche Facetten seines Werks und Wirkens für ein internationales und deutschsprachiges Fachpublikum erschließen möchte. Die diesen Band einleitenden Beiträge beleuchten Lassus Werk aus einer internationalen Perspektive. Mit Stephen Bann, Michel Conan und John Dixon Hunt nehmen Autoren dazu Stellung, die seit drei Jahrzehnten mit Lassus zusammenarbeiten und mit seinen landschaftsarchitektonischen Projekten wie auch mit seinen theoretischen Vorstellungen vertraut sind wie wohl niemand sonst. Ein zweiter Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Wirken von Lassus in Deutschland und vor allem an der Gesamthochschule Kassel in den 1980er Jahren sowie aktuell an der Leibniz Universität Hannover. Eine Auswahl von Beiträgen Bernard Lassus aus deutschsprachigen Fachzeitschriften und Buchpublikationen wird im zweiten Teil des Bandes präsentiert und bietet einen Einblick in seine Sicht der Landschaftsarchitektur. 300 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.…

Neuware -Opera is able to offer enchanting performance sites, in which people create and experience glamorous or ecstatic imagined worlds, but behind this picture we find a real social organization embraced by reality, which makes opera's world and its history accessible for ethnographic enquiry, historical reflection and cultural analysis. This book therefore presents the author's original anthropological study, which shows complex historical, socio-cultural, political, economic, ideological, academic and ethnographic facets of opera culture in Slovenia, including the field sites of both Slovenian national opera houses, in Ljubljana and Maribor. The study explicates how social representations of opera are produced and enacted by different social agents involved within the Slovenian national operatic habitus, and how opera is used as an idealized vision of nationhood and national identity in a provincial society.GPSR Kontakt, Rochdalestraat 4a, 1814 TH Alkmaar 210 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book offers a case study in foreign policy change: It examines why the Bush administration suddenly redirected its nuclear nonproliferation policy toward North Korea in the aftermath of North Koreäs first nuclear test in October 2006, abandoning its former confrontational approach in favor of a more accommodating line. Existing explanations of this course reversal draw on the security implications of a growing crisis on the Korean Peninsula, U.S. domestic politics, and changing decision-making dynamics within the Bush administration. Employing before-after comparison, the study refutes these accounts ¿ and it offers an alternative explanation: The Bush administration altered its nonproliferation policy toward North Korea toward a cooperative course because after the nuclear test, it perceived fundamentally improved prospects for fruitful cooperation on North Koreäs denuclearization. 202 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In Economics, networks are increasingly used to describe the many links created between independent companies, as well as between them and other institutions (universities, banks, venture capital, etc.). In the current global and knowledge-based economy, they can be characterised as knowledge factories and knowledge boosters. They feed the internal processes of innovation (collaborative innovation) or the external processes of innovation, created by the propagation effects that come from inter-firm collaboration.The book explains how innovation networks are at the origin of the production of new knowledge that will be transformed and used in common as well as in separated production processes. This characteristic of networks as knowledge factories gives incentives to further investment in the production of knowledge and ensures the cumulativeness of the innovation process. Some of the authors clearly take a territorial point of view and study how clusters (in different parts of the world: Europe, Eastern Asia and North America) propelled by the quality of the innovation networks they enclose, can be characterised as knowledge pools into which the local actors will be able to draw to reinforce their individual and collective competitiveness. This book also includes analyses of the quality of the networks built within clusters, which may help their identification.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 228 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -After decades of uncomfortable silence, Spain has now started dealing with its violent twentieth-century past. In recent years, a vibrant memory discourse has emerged in Spanish society: the number of films, TV series, newspaper articles, history books, and memorials dedicated to the Civil War of 1936-1939 and the ensuing dictatorship of Franco has increased dramatically. Literature has also played its part in provoking and maintaining this memory boom, and as a consequence, the study of contemporary Spanish novels has started revolving around questions on the responsibility of the author, on the impact of literature in society, on its role in shaping memories, and on its ethical status.This book takes up these questions in an attempt to combine the outlook of collective memory studies with the theoretical demands of Poststructuralist theories. Focusing on themes such as haunting and the uncanny, nostalgia, theBildungsromangenre, and autobiography, its author analyses memory narratives in fourteen novels by foremost Spanish authors like Javier Marías, Luis Goytisolo, Enrique Vila-Matas, and Manuel Vicent.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 232 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This bold work asks whether traditional Christian sexual morality, with its emphasis on sexual abstinence outside of heterosexual marriage, is harmful. Appealing to sociological studies, anthropological theories, and contemporary theological ethics, Hartwig develops a model of sexual virtue around the concept of a poetics of intimacy and applies this model to particular challenges faced by the divorced, married couples, gay men and lesbians, single adults, and people with mental and developmental disabilities. He concludes that mandated long-term and lifelong sexual abstinence for those outside heterosexual marriage is not only harmful, but compromises many features of Christian morality.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 300 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Michel Houellebecq is a French author whose profile in the English-speaking world is unusually high. He is an author who has put the humour back into the Absurd, without losing any of the awareness of the bleakness of the human condition. Undoubtedly one of the most trenchant satirists of our time, he deflates the projected utopias that we imagine protect us from the ills that beset us. More than many other novelists, his work is a reflection of the social and economic reality of life in a post-industrial society. Houellebecq shows a world of violence and tension, a world where people find it hard to be at ease, so that life becomes a process of disease. This book foregrounds Houellebecq's scrutiny of our various attempts to confront and transcend the fundamental reality of the human condition, in particular the horror of death.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 236 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The essays presented in this issue provide an international overview of military-pedagogical thinking and acting. They reflect the sometimes close correspondence between the answers provided by military scholars to questions related to the content and function of military ethics and morale. These answers are so comprehensive as to suggest themselves as a starting point for further deliberations on military pedagogy but also in the fields of other applied pedagogic specialties. The authors who have contributed to this book make it clear, as a group, how the national defence of peace and freedom may be transformed into a pertinent international responsibility and competence for the safeguarding of world peace. 260 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -If the new cultural sociology is to gain firm grounds, it should rediscover the classic studies on cultural dynamics and cultural systems. This book contributes to a better understanding of Florian Znaniecki as an eminent culturologist and the lasting relevance of his theory of cultural becoming. Znaniecki opted for a humanistic approach that he called culturalism. Culturalism, founded on the principle of the humanistic coefficient, is applied also to the cultural person. The concept of social values makes this cultural approach an original one. The cultural logic and cultural ethos of Znaniecki¿s thought is inherent in the very principle of a creative evolution of culture, augmenting his vision of a new civilization of the future and a world culture society.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 260 pp. Englisch.…

In the first part of the study, the meanings of the concepts ¿welfare mix¿, ¿privatization¿ and ¿marketization¿ are disentangled and the concepts are connected. Based on this conceptual framework, the second part of the study assesses the welfare mix in poverty relief and recent changes thereof empirically. The empirical part focuses on Austria.

Thus, only the roles and contributions of these two types of providers are examined.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 234 pp. Englisch.…

Aus den zahlreichen für die Adäquatheit und die Richtigkeit der Übersetzungs- und Dolmetschleistungen relevanten Aspekten wurden zwei Teilbereiche ausgewählt: die Terminologie als feste Grundlage für die translatorische Äquivalenz und der Diskurs als prozessuale Basis für einen reibungslosen und erfolgreichen Dolmetschablauf. Die theoretischen Grundlagen und Methoden, auf welche für die Analysen zurückgegriffen wird, sind die der linguistischen und translatorischen Diskursanalyse. Sie versteht das Übersetzen und das Dolmetschen als ein zielgerichtetes Kommunikationsverfahren, welches mit diversen Formen der Sprachvermittlung eng verbunden ist. Die empirische Basis der Analyse berücksichtigt die wesentlichen Ansätze des Übersetzens und des Dolmetschens ¿ von der Fachterminologie bis zu den kulturellen Aspekten des Translationsprozesses. This volume analyzes problems crucial to the science of practical translation. Among the many aspects which are important for the adequacy and correctness in translation and interpreting services, two areas were chosen ¿ terminology as a firm base for translation equivalence and discourse as a procedural foundation for a successful translation process. The theoretical basis and methods which were used during the analysis are the ones which form the linguistic and translation discourse analysis. It presents translation and interpreting as a goal-oriented communication procedure, which is closely related to diverse forms of intercommunication. A characteristic feature of translation discourse analysis is that the object of the study is documented very closely with the terminology as a corpus of different specialized texts. Such an empirical base for the analysis takes into consideration the most significant approaches of translation and interpreting ¿ from legal terminology to cultural aspects of the translation process. 198 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.…
