Neuware -Throughout the history of Public Relations, many academics and professionals have been concerned about the social function of the discipline. One of the research focuses that persists, now more than ever from various points of view, is on the relevance of communication strategies in processes of social change. This focus derives from the European doctrine of Public Relations whose main reference is Lucien Matrat, focused on the social subject. Even Ferguson, addressing a perspective from management, highlights that to understand relationships it is required not only to understand the communication process and its effects, but also to understand the different actors within the communication process and their social context. One of the priorities, and at the same time emerging challenge for public relations leaders, is how to address diversity and multiculturalism in the public sphere, society and organizations from this anthropological perspective. This topic provides the possibility of a broad and interesting debate that can enrich research on the management of relationships between different social actors.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 200 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is about an alternative path to mitigating the climate-change crisis. It explains why today's status-quo approaches are not working, mainly due to limitations in science itself and to individual citizens' prevailing mindset: 'I am the centre of the universe.'The two main features of this alternative pathway are holistic reasoning and sustainability. These immediately lead one to the conclusion that Indigenous people who follow their culture are a major part of avoiding a serious tipping point in the future. The book calls for an organized collaboration between working groups of Indigenous and Eurocentric non-Indigenous workers.The book describes how science interacts with society and how it operates within its own ranks. Both knowledge clusters help inform readers making a decision on to trust or not to trust information they hear from a scientist, or on social media.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 148 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In Volta: An Italian-American Reckoning with Race, author Michelle Reale embarks on a brave and unflinching journey to the roots of racism as she knows it. Starting with the town she was raised in, Reale examines several cultural touchstones within the Italian-American community, along with local and national flashpoints in Italian-American and African-American relations, and subjects such as Columbus Day, Frank Rizzo, Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, and how Italians became 'White'. In examining these issues, Reale challenges the reader and points them towards the lifelong process of racial reckoning.The style of reckoning here is straightforward and brutally honest, with no apologetics, making this book unique in contemporary anti-racism literature. While the author looks through the lens of her own culture, she argues for the 'self-implicative' nature of reckoning - that one cannot point the finger of blame in any direction other than oneself. Her account shows how our acculturation of racism is both conscious and unconscious, and that only way to face it is head on.Along with general reader, this book will appeal to college students of all levels, anti-racism educators, Whiteness scholars, high-school students, and those interested in the intersectionality of racism and culture.'Anti-racist action begins with the self. It entails the difficult work of acknowledging the prejudices we carry and the harm we have caused. In Volta, Michelle Reale maneuvers adeptly through her own racial reckoning and Italian-American history to offer an invaluable model for the reflective praxis essential to transformative change.'Christopher Allen Varlack, Executive Director, Center for Antiracist Scholarship, Advocacy, and Action'In Volta, Michelle Reale uses autoethnographic and poetic strategies to look critically at her own upbringing and how racism extends through generations in a culture. Her vibrant narrative and poetic skills forge bonds between theory and an examined life. This unflinching inquiry provides a valuable model for anti-racist work.'Anne McCrary Sullivan, Author of Learning Calabar: Notes from a Poet's Year in NigeriaLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -December 13, 2023, marked the one-hundred-year anniversary of the ERA¿s first introduction in Congress. The time is therefore ripe for revisiting how women across generations have argued that gender equality might reshape and reimagine our democracy.In contrast to narratives that begin with passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and then propel us forward to the 1970s, this edited collection of primary texts comprehensively surveys women¿s arguments about the ERA from its inception through the present day. Together and apart, these texts reveal the nuanced, complicated, and sometimes contradictory ways that women have contemplated the question of whether we need the ERA. As this next generation forges ahead to keep the ERA alive, we are left to wonder: Will women remain divided on the ERA Will it take another century to see it enshrined in the U.S. Constitution The ERA debate, nevertheless, persists.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 424 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«Bidyut Chakrabarty's Nationalizing India constitutes exactly what the subtitle states: 'a creative blending of derivative and indigenous traditions.' In this context, two central themes are developed: first, that Indian nationalist thinkers redefined the entire concept of nationalism in a unique and ingenious manner, unprecedented in the long intellectual history of the idea. They built a united front against a common adversary by eliciting the fundamental civilizational amity forged in unison for gaining India's emancipation.Second, as an outstanding and prolific scholar in this field, professor Chakrabarty explores relatively unknown innovative nationalist figures to demonstrate that the advent of nationalist thought was a collective endeavor of myriad figures, a unity in diversity. This is another brilliant study by Chakrabarty that merits inclusion among the finest works on nationalism.»(Dennis Dalton, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Barnard College, Columbia University, USA)Dwelling on how nationalization was conceptualized by major Indian nationalist thinkers, this book breaks a new ground in contemporary studies on nationalism. In contrast with the Western notion of nationalism, this book provides an appropriate model of nationalizing India with reference to the creative writings of Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghose, Sarala Devi Chaudhurani and Nazrul Islam. This book is a powerful intervention in the available scholarship which shows that nationalization needs to be comprehended differently in the context of India since underlying a collective India is a civilizational bond unique to Afro-Asian countries. 412 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'The Life Everlasting of Doäna Lisa is a hard-boiled, minimalist, postmodern novel about perennial problems of postcolonialism. This is a tale of a failed attempt to escape Trinta di Mei, the postcolonial revolt of May 30, 1969, in Curaðcao. Edgar Raven, the central character, makes a consequential choice, to abandon Curaðcao temporarily during Trinta di Mei, bringing with him his two closest friends, for a 'little vacation' to Venezuela to buy a new fishing boat. This choice unleashes an avalanche of consequences described in a narrative style that seems like a digressive festival of ideas and philosophies, intellectual duets and arias stitched together with the clipped and brutal realism of the narration. Originally written in Dutch, the novel is suitable for courses on Caribbean and postcolonial literature, and for readers of fiction in general' 148 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Intercultural communication scholars have done important work tracing how the legacies of colonialism continue to structure our world. Missing from this corpus, however, is sustained attention to (North American) Indigeneity and its repression under settler colonialism as foundationally linked to contemporary imperialisms and Euro-American domination.Unsettling Intercultural Communication brings together essays by Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors that make a strong case for centering Indigeneity and, by extension, settler-colonialism, as core analytics that can transform the field. Drawing upon the insights of critical Indigenous studies and settler-colonial studies, the contributors approach Indigeneity not as an additive but central concept that demands thorough engagement by intercultural communication scholars if we are to make sense of the unequal and violence-ridden world that we live in. In doing so, they open some of the core intercultural concepts to deeper examination.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 322 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Foundational theories of meaning, and the broader metasemantic projects they contribute to, promise to answer the seemingly simple yet intractable question of what meaning consists in and where it comes from. Naturally, they build upon expressions that we already know and recognize to develop their positions. This focus on language as we know it, however, leaves aside the no less significant matter of language in terms of possible expressions - the strange and distant expanses of language beyond our everyday stock of expressions.This work sets out to explore possibilities in the context of the meaning of simple expressions. In the process, words, phrases, and sentences are thoroughly explicated as types of expressions before being leveraged to engineer unique and unusual possible words. These exotic possibilities are then confronted with two major positions on meaning in philosophy, introducing novel difficulties and suggesting the significance of this otherwise neglected perspective on language.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 170 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -'In this beautifully-written book, the authors skip across the many bridges that connect neuroscience to education, creating a wonderful resource for educators. They consider all the elements that an understanding of neuroscience can bring to education in a highly accessible manner, focusing on emotions and spiritual meaning as well as more traditional topics like learning and memory. They have produced a tour de force.'(Usha Goswami, Director for the Centre for Neuroscience in Education, Professor of Cognitive Developmental Neuroscience and a Fellow of St. John's College, University of Cambridge)'This book is singular and a vital service to health, education and labor thinkers, doers and investors. Increased brain capital, which encompasses brain health and brain skills, is vital to educational attainment, upskilling and reskilling. In this book, Staunton and Brennan provide a detailed roadmap for the vital importance of neuroscience to fuel improved education. This area has been oft neglected, but no more.'(Harris A. Eyre MD PhD, Lead and Senior Fellow, Neuro-Policy Program, Rice University , USA)'This is a hugely useful and insightful text, written in a format which makes a challenging area of discourse accessible. Neuroscience is now the dominant science in education, and it is important to ensure that the synergy between the disciplines is well-founded and robust. This book contributes positively to unravelling the many areas of intersection between neuroscience and education in a rigorous manner.'(William H Kitchen, Senior Lecturer Stranmillis University College)This book is an original contribution to the field of educational neuroscience. The authors argue that all adults should pay more attention and become more reflective of their experiences so that they can learn more deliberately and in a focused way. The book addresses the functioning of the brain, the architecture of the brain, neuroplasticity, learning processes and how to develop and maintain a healthy brain throughout life. Learning to learn is about individuals understanding how they learn and thus developing their capacity to learn by harnessing lessons from neuroscience.The book will be useful for learners who are transitioning or returning to education, those training to work with children and young people, and those interested in understanding more about their own learning.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 300 pp. Englisch.…
