Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book outlines theories and practices in environmental adult education that are emerging worldwide. The need for environmental adult education arises not from a deficit platform of «lack of awareness» and «individual behavior modification» ¿ but rather from the asset belief in an existing ¿ if sometimes hidden ¿ ecological knowledge of the need for a deeper sociopolitical, race, and gender analysis of environmental problems, and the power and potential of democratic participation and collective action. Authors from Canada, the Philippines, Kenya, India, Mexico, Fiji, Australia, Sudan, and the United States examine areas such as environmental racism and the legacy of colonization, self-governance and community resistance, ecological, women¿s and indigenous knowledge, international development and globalization, feminist pedagogical and arts-based practices, and participatory research practice. 248 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Pedagogy of Place focuses on the embodiment of purposefully created space resulting from the creation and enactment of its participants¿ cultural and social conditions. It is also about education, the purposeful creation of spaces that comprise learning environments, and the aesthetic dimensions of the created space called school. The essays present the concept of space¿the place where learning happens and where the lives of student and teacher can thrive or wither¿a place rich in human potential. In an attempt to address the diversity of what we define as space, Pedagogy of Place addresses issues around place and identity in three distinct strands: as social, as aesthetic, and as political and historical.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This second selection of Maupassant¿s chroniques, edited in their original French version, includes articles on a wide range of subjects. Many are on literary, artistic or social themes, some are inspired by political events of the day. In general, some of the lighter pieces have been chosen, but in all of them Maupassant has something important to say.Maupassant often uses his chroniques to rehearse themes and topics to be developed later in short stories or novels. It is true that he never sought to re-publish them after their initial appearance in Le Gaulois, Gil Blas, or Le Figaro, but this is not to say that he did not reveal much about his inner self in these writings. Though he sometimes referred to them disparagingly as an irksome weekly obligation, he continued to offer his chroniques to the Parisian dailies when fame and fortune ensured that he had little need of the extra income they brought in. He wrote almost as many chroniques as short stories ¿ indeed the distinction between the two genres is not always clear ¿ and, whether the tone is facetious, serious or ironic, one can sense that Maupassant enjoys this dialogue with a regular readership. Readers or critics who ignore the journalism deprive themselves of a significant part of his overall output. This second selection shows once again that Maupassant the short-story writer and novelist was also an entertaining and observant chronicler of events in the France of his day.Cette deuxième sélection de chroniques écrites par Guy de Maupassant, publiées en langue originale française, contient des articles sur la littérature, l¿art, la vie sociale, ainsi que quelques morceaux inspirés par l¿actualité politique. Les articles ¿légers¿ ont été priviliégiés, mais dans tous ces articles, Maupassant a quelque chose d¿important à dire.La chronique permet à Maupassant d¿aborder des thèmes et des sujets qüil va développer plus tard dans ses contes et ses romans. S¿il est vrai qüil n¿essaya jamais de donner une forme plus permanente à ces articles, parus pour la plupart dans les colonnes du Gaulois, de Gil Blas, ou du Figaro, ceci ne signifie pas qüil ne s¿y découvrait pas. Certes, sa chronique hebdomadaire lui semblait souvent une corvée, mais il continuait à la rédiger même après avoir acquis une notoriété et une aisance financière suffisante pour renoncer au journalisme. Il composa presque autant de chroniques que de contes et de nouvelles ¿ deux genres qüil n¿est d¿ailleurs pas facile de distinguer l¿un de l¿autre. Et, quel que le soit le ton, facétieux, grave ou ironique, on sent, en lisant les chroniques, le plaisir que prend Maupassant à dialoguer ainsi avec ses lecteurs.Ceux qui font la moue devant ces articles de journal se privent d¿une partie essentielle de son ¿uvre. Ce deuxième choix de chroniques apporte à nouveau la preuve que le conteur et romancier Maupassant était aussi un observateur divertissant et vivant, un chroniqueur lucide et perspicace de la vie de la France et des Français. 254 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Testimonial narrative is considered to be both a constant in Latin American literature, as well as one of the most prominent features of the post-boom writing of the 1980s and 1990s; women have successfully assimilated this form and currently dominate the testimonial genre in Latin America. The essays in this volume provide an orientation to the woman-centered view of this genre by inquiring into the critical and theoretical debate on the subject as well as analyzing specific nineteenth- and twentieth-century Latin American women¿s testimonial texts. Woman as Witness also includes selections from two testimonial works by Argentine women to advance the creation of a canon of Latin American feminist testimonial. 228 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -On the Banks of the Yaryn by Aleksandr Kondratiev was published in Berlin in 1930, but only appeared in Russia in 1993 as the country reclaimed some of its forgotten talents. This remarkable novel represents one of the finest examples of the interest in Slavic folklore that profoundly influenced Russian literature in the first decades of the twentieth century. Kondratiev¿s work brings to life popular demonic spirits of water, field, and forest by portraying their physical environment, emotional life, and interaction with the human world. The novel also depicts the life of magic healers, sorceresses, and witches who live among village folk but engage in practices that make them part of the dark world. The inclusion of pagan gods, folk beliefs and narratives, magical rituals, celebrations, and holidays that reflect pre-Christian and Christian traditions enhances the folkloric richness of Kondratiev¿s highly engaging narrative.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 256 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The question of language has been discussed in various philosophical, literary, and theoretical works of the twentieth century. However, in many cases, while language has remained the object of discussion, an understanding of the experience of language from within has not been deepened. This book seeks to pay attention to ¿the experience of language¿ and rethinks its importance in twentieth century thought and literature. It describes how Beckett, Blanchot, and Heidegger experience the force of language. The study focuses on how each in a different way sought to show the force of language as the movement of vacillation, as a metaphorical form of expression. For instance, in Beckett¿s work Ill Seen Ill Said we find the movement of the veil which at once conceals and reveals its own dissimulation; in Blanchot¿s work Awaiting Oblivion, which depicts the relation between the bodies of two nameless characters (¿he¿ and ¿she¿) who spend the whole night together in a room having a conversation, we ¿see¿ the space of conversation; and in Heidegger¿s work «A Dialogue on Language» dialogue is experienced as the balance ¿ the space of measuring the hidden ¿weight¿ of language. 234 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book brings together several essays presented at the Seventh International Seminar on Culture and Power, held at the University of Alcalá in October 2001.

Topics covered in the essays include the relationship between anthropology and literature, textual depictions of the city, and the representation of the (post)colonial world. The contributors also explore the validity of the categories of class, gender and race in a literary, cultural and educational context. 298 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -L¿acquisition de la morpho-syntaxe négative constitue depuis les années soixante-dix un sujet très débattu dans le domaine de l¿acquisition des langues et du langage. Les travaux récents, notamment, montrent une véritable divergence d¿opinions quant aux principes qui guideraient l¿acquisition des particules de négation en langue seconde. La présente étude qui se base sur des données provenant d¿un projet financé par la Société Européenne de la Science et intitulé «L¿acquisition d¿une langue étrangère par des adultes immigrés» porte sur l¿acquisition du système de la négation française par des locuteurs hispanophones et du système de la négation anglaise par des locuteurs italophones. Cette recherche, plus particulièrement basée sur l¿acquisition en «milieu naturel», présente des implications théoriques d¿ordre surtout psycholinguistique, cognitif et typologique. Tout en étant en outre fondée sur une approche fonctionnelle et conceptuelle, elle introduit le lecteur aux différentes perspectives ¿ formelles et fonctionnelles ¿ qui ont alimenté le débat sur la maîtrise de la négation en langue seconde dans les vingt dernières années. 450 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In der verfassungsrechtlichen Qualifizierung der Sonn- und Feiertage als «Tage der Arbeitsruhe und der seelischen Erhebung» (Art. 140 GG i.V.m. Art. 139 WRV) spiegelt sich eine lange und wechselvolle Rechtsentwicklung. Sie reicht vom alttestamentlichen Gebot der Feiertagsheiligung bis zur Durchsetzung arbeitsfreier Tage als sozialpolitische Errungenschaft des Industriezeitalters. Anhand ausgewählter Aspekte zeichnet der Autor die geistesgeschichtlichen Faktoren, politischen Konflikte und sozioökonomischen Wandlungen nach, die die Entwicklung des Sonn- und Feiertagsrechts geprägt haben und die Diskussion um den Sonn- und Feiertagsschutz bis heute beeinflussen. Der Schwerpunkt der Darstellung liegt auf der Rechtsentwicklung seit Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung stehen dabei vor allem die sozialpolitischen Auseinandersetzungen um die Durchsetzung der Arbeitsruhe an Sonn- und Feiertagen im 19. Jahrhundert und der Umgang mit Sonn- und Feiertagen in den Weltanschauungsdiktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts. 284 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Diese Untersuchung befaßt sich mit der Wechselbeziehung zwischen Literatur und Übersetzung vor dem Hintergrund bestimmter produktionsästhetischer Verfahren und Wahrnehmungsmodelle. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet die Definition und Beschreibung der fiktiven Übersetzung, ihrer Funktionsmechanismen und Motivkomplexe. Ein prägnantes Beispiel für diese Art von literarischem Artefakt stellt der 1913 von Rainer Maria Rilke ins Deutsche übertragene anonyme französische Briefroman Lettres Portugaises dar. Wie aber verhält sich eine fiktive Übersetzung, wenn sie übersetzt wird, und welche Folgerungen lassen sich daraus für eine dynamische Steuerung der Rezeption von übersetzter Literatur ziehen Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, entwickelt die Autorin den Begriff des Übersetzungsvorhabens, das, ausgehend vom Übersetzersubjekt, verschiedene Phasen der Werkerfahrung durch Rilke und seine theoretische und praktische Umsetzung der Briefe in die deutsche Sprache systematisch erfaßt. Zugleich räumt der innovative Ansatz den im Buchraum der Übertragung verteilten Paratexten eine wichtige Stellung für das Verständnis und die kritischen Bewertungsmöglichkeiten von vermittelter Literatur ein.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 288 pp. Deutsch.

This is true of both the book and the screen, but with profoundly different consequences. The omnipresent screen of the early twenty-first century serves as a portal that reconfigures private and public experience in ways that are fundamentally different from print culture. Not only does the screen reveal the complexities of people and places beyond our reach, it alters our phenomenological awareness of space, sound, and motion. The individual experiences the altered duration of the screen, and the larger community displays the consequences of that altered duration. This book discusses how the screen in its myriad forms has contributed to an emerging view of the self in American culture that is unique to our time.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 198 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, Dane S. Claussen argues that the news media have fed vocationalism and self-doubt in higher education, and anti-intellectualism throughout American culture. Analyzing articles in popular national magazines since the G.I. Bill of 1944, Claussen finds that media have overwhelmingly portrayed college as a time and place for students to play sports, date and marry, drink and take drugs, protest, join fraternities and sororities, go on vacations, avoid the draft, escape their parents, and, perhaps most of all, network and find jobs - in short, do almost anything except research, study, write, think, or debate. In the tradition of Richard Hofstadter's Pulitzer Prize-winning Anti-intellectualism in American Life and Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind, Claussen illustrates the counterintuitive and underestimated - nearly overlooked - role of the news media in higher education and anti-intellectualism. 282 pp. Englisch.
