Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Historically, moves and counter-moves to define «curriculum» have occurred within highly contested terrain. This book studies curriculum as a discursively produced historically, socially, politically and economically inscribed epistemological space. This epistemological approach to studying the knowing subject and research positionality highlights the importance of understanding how we know what we know. This book presents a three-pronged approach ¿ bringing together curriculum theory, educational research theory, and exemplars of research projects. Curriculum Spaces is an avant-garde research theory that analyzes the discursive production of knowing by drawing upon a number of theories (e.g., critical discourse theories and postmodern theories) to provide a unique lens on education in this historic moment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 166 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Theater has always been the site of visionary hopes for a reformed national future and a space for propagating ideas, both cultural and political, and such a conceptualization of the histrionic art is all the more valuable in the post-9/11 era. The essays in this volume address the concept of «Americanness» and the perceptions of the «alien» ¿ as ethnic, class or gendered minorities ¿ as dealt with in the work of American playwrights from Anna Cora Mowatt, through Rachel Crothers or Susan Glaspell, and on to Sam Shepard, David Mamet, Nilo Cruz or Wallace Shawn. The authors of the essays come from a multi-national university background that includes the United States, the United Arab Emirates and various countries of the European Community. In recognition of the multiple components of drama, the essays for the volume were selected in order to exemplify different aspects and theories of theater studies: the playwright, the play, the audience and the actor are all examined as part of the theatrical experience that serves to formulate American national identity. 304 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this volume, the author presents a version of Africäs longest oral recitation of myth of origination, the black bagr myth found among the Dagara of Northern Ghana and Southern Burkina Faso, and discusses in detail its historical and literary significance for the society. Hence, the author first outlines the historical conditions possibly responsible for the coming into existence of both the mythical narratives and the rites of initiation that accompany the narration; and then presents the literary frame and structure in which the black bagr narrative is composed.The rest of the book is a unique bilingual (Dagara and English) presentation of the black bagr narration recorded and viewed live from within a secret rite of initiation. The narration itself, similar to all black bagr ritual narrative sessions, lasted up to three hours and was performed without interruption by one speaker. The narrative content shows to what extent the rites achieve the double purpose of teaching the initiates culture knowledge and giving them new individual identities that will equip them for different social positions in life. 318 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The new empirical industrial organization (NEIO) is a pioneering framework developed by economists to measure the degree of competitiveness of economic sectors. The primary contribution of NEIO is the generalization of perfect-competition and monopoly models to intermediate imperfect-competition models that can be empirically estimated. This framework has been applied to many sectors to provide policymakers dealing with antitrust issues with empirical evidence of market power throughout the marketing channel. This is the first book to provide a detailed, systematic overview of NEIO. The authors present a comprehensive synopsis of the theory and application of NEIO as well as selected case studies to the food sector.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 372 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Collection of Anselm of Lucca (1081-1083), which was named by Cardinal Alphons M. Stickler ¿the best Gregorian work¿ comprises papal letters, conciliar canons, patristic material and Roman law texts.

This opinion can also be affirmed regarding Anselm¿s Collection. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The essays in this volume are situated in French and Australian contexts and focus on texts linking language and visual images. There is an emerging debate in universities concerning the interpretation of images, whether in the field of aesthetics, politics or technology. The contributors focus on images ranging from photography to maps, films, paintings and computer games. In addition they consider relations between genders and nations, as understood in particular historical or semiological contexts. Geographic and disciplinary boundaries are consciously transgressed and blurred, so that a new interdisciplinary dialogue between written texts and visual arts emerges. Ce recueil d¿essais, situé dans le contexte d¿échanges franco-australiens, a pour objet les liens entre images et langage sur le plan du discours. L¿interprétation du visuel fait l¿objet d¿un débat émergeant dans les universités, que ce soit dans le domaine de l¿esthétique, du politique ou de la technologie. Les contributions analysent des images allant de la photographie, aux jeux multimédia en passant par les cartes, le cinéma et la peinture. Par ailleurs, elles interrogent les relations tant au niveau de l¿individu que des nations dans des contextes historiques et sémiologiques spécifiques. Les contributeurs traversent les frontières disciplinaires et géographiques, de façon à susciter un nouveau dialogue interdisciplinaire entre textes et arts visuels. 236 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Pedro de Valencia, cronista real de Felipe III, escribió una crítica sobre el pergamino y libros plúmbeos de Granada a instancias del Inquisidor General, Bernardo de Sandoval y Rojas. El papa Paulo V llevaba tiempo solicitando más información sobre estos textos polémicos que se presentaban como un suplemento recién descubierto a los Hechos de los Apóstoles. El pergamino de 1588 pretendía ser una profecía escatológica de San Juan Evangelista mientras que los libros plúmbeos (1595-1599), eran aparentemente textos de la época de los apóstoles inscritos sobre discos de plomo. El libro más importante, el Libro de la verdad del Evangelio, había sido escrito por la Virgen María ella misma. Valencia consideraba que los textos eran una burda superchería. ¿Quién o quiénes los escribió ¿Por qué se escribieron en árabe textos que pretendían ser de la era apostólica ¿Y para qué finalidad Esta edición de la crítica de Valencia la contextualiza históricamente: las tensiones entre el gobierno y los ¿nuevos convertidos de moros¿, que culminó en la expulsión masiva de 1609. Este libro contiene la edición de Sobre el pergamino y láminas de Granada y notas sobre el texto, así como una introducción en inglés. 166 pp. Englisch, Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The nature of religion on the domestic front in Britain during the Second World War has, hitherto, been relatively unexplored. This study focuses on Birmingham and describes wartime popular religion, primarily as recounted in oral testimony. The difference the War made to people¿s faith, and the consolation wrought by prayer and a religious outlook are explored, as are the religious language and concepts utilised by the wartime popular media of cinema and wireless. Clerical rhetoric about the War and concerns to spiritualise the war effort are dealt with by an analysis of locally published sources, especially parish magazines and other religious ephemera, which set the War on the spiritual as much as the military plane. A final section of the study is devoted to measuring the extent of the influence of the churches in the creation of a vision for post-war Britain and Birmingham. 250 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book employs Lacanian psychoanalysis to develop new ways of understanding educational domains.

It provides an accessible introduction, description and analysis of those aspects of Lacan¿s work concerned with language, identity and subjectivity directly relevant to the field of education.Regulative discourses and practices in education are a central concern and the authors demonstrate how Lacanian theory empowers our understanding of how such discourses are instrumental in forming teacher and researcher identities. The book also shows how regulatory practices and discourses are relevant to research methodologies that arise in the field of action research in education. 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is based on papers originally presented at the international conference ¿Activating Human Rights and Diversity¿ held in Australia in 2003.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -There is considerable confusion regarding the English suffix «ing,» which is usually treated as «progressive.» The sentence «I regret telling him» shows, however, that this is not always the case. The very same form can sometimes evoke an ongoing process and sometimes a completed action. This book brings much-needed clarity to this area of English grammar, proposing a simple coherent explanation based on meaning. ESL teachers will find it a valuable contribution to the «focus on form» approach. It will also be of interest to linguists as it addresses the problems of tense and control that have been the object of considerable debate.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The paradigm of social network analysis (SNA) is widely recognized as a potential approach to analyze, evaluate, and influence communication processes. The author argues that SNA proves useful as a theoretical concept and as a practical tool for knowledge communication in research and development (R&D). The context of innovative knowledge generation in organizational R&D environments is introduced very broadly with reference to the existing literature. The pragmatic approach of networks is outlined as a powerful concept to grasp the social relationships between individuals as well as between social aggregates for conceptual and analytical purposes. Based on three case studies, methods of SNA are simplified and illustrated according to their basic steps to meet practical needs and show their usefulness for business practice. Moreover, the book provides examples for interventions and follow-up activities to improve processes of organizational knowledge communication based on SNA. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Drawing from a range of critical perspectives, in particular postcolonial, this book examines the relationship between perceptions of Russia and of Eastern Europe and the making of a ¿Western¿ identity. It explores the ways in which the perception of certain characteristics of Russia and Eastern Europe, whether real or attributed, was shaped by (and used for) the construction of a liberal narrative of the West, which eventually became dominant. The focus of this inquiry is French culture, from the beginning of the debate about Russia among the philosophes (c.1740) to the consolidation of a professional field of Slavic studies (c.1880). A wide range of writing ¿ literature, travel accounts, histories, political tracts, scientific journals, and parliamentary debates ¿ is examined through the work of major authors (from Montesquieu, Diderot and Rousseau to Tocqueville, de Maistre and Guizot, from Mme. de Staël, Hugo and Balzac to Dumas, Michelet and Comte), as well as that of many less well known figures. The book also explores possible continuities between those first academic accounts of Russia and Eastern Europe and present-day scholarship in Europe and the USA, to show that the liberal ideological accounts constructed in the nineteenth century still to a great extent inform contemporary academic studies. 364 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book deals with the identity of the Torah that Yahweh promised he would write on the hearts of New Covenant participants, as prophesied in Jeremiah 31:33 and understood later in New Testament times by Paul. This theological and exegetical monograph is an invaluable reference work and textbook for all theological seminaries and Christian religious departments of universities worldwide. Pastors and virtually all Christians interested in reading or researching Paul and the subject of Gospel/law controversy in biblical studies will benefit from it. The book¿s investigative study of the history of interpretation of the church¿s teaching on the subject from the early church to modern theological era, and Second Temple Judaism¿s writings on the topic, is unsurpassed. No work currently existing on this subject can compete with this book¿s historical survey and exegetical analysis, reading Jeremiah and Paul contextually on the issue.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 350 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -L¿être humain joue au théâtre, danse, chante, exécute des numéros de cirque, met en scène le quotidien. Ces pratiques spectaculaires, séparées ou confondues dans les sociétés en mutation de l¿Occident, sont amenées aujourd¿hui à redessiner leur identité dans des champs (inter)culturels, des imaginaires, des contraintes, des modes de lecture complexes. Le concept d¿adaptation, au centre de ce livre, trouve dans pareil contexte une résonance exemplaire, désignant l¿intercession par laquelle créateurs et spectateurs s¿énoncent ensemble dans un questionnement sur la marque spectaculaire. Il suscite des rencontres entre compétences de réception, entre pertinences (énonciatives, émotionnelles, culturelles, technologiques) à la fois communes et propres aux différentes pratiques.Un champ innovant et décloisonné s¿ouvre à une recherche attentive à ces processus. Poursuivant un projet qui considère la sémiotique comme une discipline interstitielle, en croisement avec d¿autres approches ¿ l¿anthropologie, les sciences sociales et humaines ¿, cet ouvrage propose des suggestions de modèles et des analyses qui prennent en compte les changements théoriques intervenus ces dernières années. Il interroge de façon stimulante les mécanismes d¿appropriation des arts du spectacle. 152 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Das Fach Kulturstudien Ostmitteleuropas, wie es seit 1999 an der Universität Leipzig vertreten ist, hat zum Ziel, die Kultur(en) einer spezifischen Großregion Europas verstehen zu lernen und dabei zu erfahren, wie das Verstehen fremder Kulturen generell vor sich geht. Was gegenwärtig das östliche Mitteleuropa bzw. ¿ je nach Perspektive ¿ das westliche Osteuropa darstellt, schließt die historische Region Südosteuropa mit ein. Den Gesellschaften dieses Ostmitteleuropa gemeinsam ist, daß sie heute Schauplatz der Rückgängigmachung des Experiments «Sozialismus» sind ¿ ein Prozeß, der in Gestalt einer doppelten, gar dreifachen Umgestaltung stattfindet: In allen Staaten der Region werden die alten Eigentumsverhältnisse und politischen Systeme durch weitgehend neue abgelöst, während einige Staaten durch Sukzession bzw. Sezession ihrerseits neu- bzw. wiederentstanden sind. 416 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Frage nach der Legitimität staatlicher Strafe ist Gegenstand einer anhaltenden und bisweilen ausufernden Diskussion, die inzwischen eine kaum noch überschaubare Fülle von Texten im rechts- und moralphilosophischen, staatstheoretischen und strafrechtlichen Schrifttum hervorgebracht hat. Mit Benthams utilitaristischem Prinzip des größten Glücks der größten Zahl und des im Retributivismus entscheidenden intrinsischen Unwertes der Tat als Anknüpfungspunkt der Strafe sowie dessen prominentesten Vertreter Kant werden die verschiedenen Strafkonzeptionen vorgestellt ¿ einschließlich jenen, in denen beide Elemente miteinander verknüpft sind ¿ wie etwa im Strafziel der Resozialisierung. Darüber hinaus werden die unterschiedlichen staatstheoretischen Modelle, die dem utilitaristischen und retributivistischen Ansatz entsprechen im einzelnen entfaltet. Die Anwort auf die Frage nach der Vereinigung der Zweckbestimmungen staatlichen Strafens mit den fundamentalen Vorstellungen über Freiheit, Verantwortlichkeit, Schuldfähigkeit und damit Personalität, wie sie innerhalb des gedanklichen Horizontes einer staatlichen Gemeinschaft konsensfähig sind, bleibt jedoch zwangsläufig offen. 144 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Heinrich Manns Italienreise steht im Zeichen persönlicher Selbstsuche, kosmopolitischer Träume und der literarischen Tradition Deutschlands und Frankreichs. Die italienischen Jahre hinterließen im Frühwerk des Autors vielfältige Spuren: musikalische und künstlerische Eindrücke, Beobachtungen zu Land und Leuten und, nicht zuletzt, die Entwicklung zur politisch-demokratischen Reife.All dies zeugt von Heinrich Manns tiefer, keineswegs unkritischer Auseinandersetzung mit seiner ersten Wahlheimat Italien. Wahlheimat ¿ und doch nicht die ersehnte, die richtige Heimat: Italien verlor durch die faschistische Degeneration die politische Vorbildfunktion, die sein demokratiefähiges Volk in den Augen Heinrich Manns dargestellt hatte. Heinrich Mann blieb einzig die Liebe zu dem Land. Das vorliegende Buch erforscht Gründe und Hintergründe, Fakten, Arbeitstechniken und literarische Bilder der italienischen Erfahrung Heinrich Manns. Es werden u.a. die intertextuellen Bezüge des Frühw erks zu italienischen Quellen und zur italienischen Sprache ans Licht gebracht. Ferner wird Heinrich Manns Fremdwahrnehmung am Beispiel seiner Betrachtung Italiens und der Italiener untersucht. 468 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Diese Studie gilt der kulturellen und der poetischen Konstruktion autobiographischer Texte, die zwischen 1933 und 1945 von deutschsprachigen Exilautoren verfasst wurden. Es geht in dieser Untersuchung um die Art und Weise, wie die Exilautoren die verlorene Welt von Gestern künstlerisch rekonstruiert beziehungsweise konstruiert haben, wobei die Frage nach der Modernität der literarischen Autobiographien im Zentrum steht: ob und inwieweit übersetzten die Exilautoren die kulturellen Aporien der Zeit in eine erkenntniskritische Poetik der Moderne. Die detaillierten Analysen dreier repräsentativer Beispiele ¿ der Autobiographien von Stefan Zweig, Heinrich Mann und Alfred Döblin ¿ zeigen, wie die drei Autoren heterogene poetische Positionen vertraten, die ihre individuellen Reaktionen auf den Sinnverlust im Exil widerspiegeln, der zugleich im Kontext des Totalitätsverlusts und der Totalitätssehnsucht der Moderne zu deuten ist. 206 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In diesem Buch werden sowohl Eigenarten des professionellen Theaters für junge Zuschauer als auch des Theaterspiels der Kinder und Jugendlichen beschrieben, wobei das eine wie das andere die gleiche Wertschätzung erfährt. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze und Reden sind im Verlauf von dreißig Jahren aus den jeweils künstlerischen und pädagogischen Arbeitszusammenhängen entstanden. Sie setzen sich mit grundlegenden Fragen dieses Metiers auseinander: mit dem Verhältnis zwischen Theater und Pädagogik; mit dem Zusammenspiel zwischen Zuschauern und Schauspielern und der daraus sich ergebenden Dramaturgie und Spielweisen. Gedanken zu einer Ästhetik dieser Theaterformen werden anhand der Besonderheiten des kindlichen Spiels und seiner Verwandtschaft zum epischen Theater Bertolt Brechts dargestellt. Arbeitsprinzipien zum Darstellenden Spiel und die Betonung der Wechselwirkung zwischen Tun und Betrachten erörtern eine grundlegende Methode der Theaterpädagogik. 428 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Change fills the air: change that is so comprehensive and ubiquitous that it is virtually impossible to comprehend. Few hear the signals as information loses value, knowledge cedes authority to celebrity, journalism becomes public interchange, and information-communication-technology becomes ambient and fades from view. A controlling-pushing-signaling system stumbles in a time of on-demand, pulling, and converging communication-information-competence. Participatory, dynamic, and social learning by individuals, groups, organizations, networks, and societies emerges as the human survival strategy. This book engages the reader in a journey of understanding about how we begin to comprehend and adapt. 213 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The last two decades have alerted applied linguists and their bureaucratic counterparts - those who make or advise government on language policy - to the issue of dealing with language problems in an accountable fashion. Why do these problems seem so intractable How is it that these problems have not yet satisfactorily been solved What is it that continues to drive the interest in this To the scholars from many parts of the world who have been invited to discuss this anew in the proposed volume, it was evident that language planners, policy makers and language managers do not know just how much work there is for language teachers to do if all of the academically desirable arrangements or policies proposed are to be implemented successfully. Indeed, the challenge to implement these at times ambitious plans of language policy makers is normally much bigger than the policy makers estimate. 186 pp. Englisch.
