Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. A scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist thought, Crenshaw used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who ¿ because of the intersections of race, gender, and class ¿ are exposed to exponential forms of marginalization and oppression. Intersectionality & Higher Education documents and expands upon Crenshaw¿s ideas within the context of U.S. higher education. The text includes theoretical and conceptual chapters on intersectionality; empirical research using intersectionality frameworks; and chapters focusing on intersectional practices. The volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women and gender studies alike.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 310 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Media are a powerful educational force that teaches about the relationship between humans and living systems while also physiologically impacting the environment. However, although long considered a tool for promoting critical thinking and cultural citizenship, media literacy does not adequately address environmental sustainability. Drawing on original research, Antonio López demonstrates how common media literacy practices reinforce belief systems at the root of unsustainable behaviors. By combining emerging literacies from social media, networked activism, sustainability education, critical media literacy, and digital ecopedagogy, the author offers a solutions-oriented critique and paradigm-shifting reappraisal of media education by advocating «ecomedia literacy.» This groundbreaking book builds on López¿s previous two books, Mediacology and The Media Ecosystem, by offering a cutting-edge and radical reappraisal of conventional media literacy practices. Written in accessible and jargon-free language, this book is ideal for students and educators of media literacy, media studies, and cultural studies, and will also be vital to those advocating sustainability education, environmental studies, and social justice.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Since colonization, dominant ideologies of «race» have been visualized and communicated through advertising. At its core, this book delineates the continuities and changes in what is termed the «colonial racial script» within global advertising representations. The origins of that script are traced back to the eighteenth century ¿ through the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the age of High Imperialism, the post-World War II era to the current stage of globalization ¿ and are identified and analyzed.From ads selling slaves to the ones promoting the ideal of equality, from the campaigns generating new racial currencies to the ones turning down the existing racist overtones, Linda C. L. Fu examines over 100 advertisements and draws on a 300-year span of references to reveal the plurality, chaos, variation, and resilience of the colonial concepts of race in society through advertising discourses in the West.Advertising and Race is the first book devoted exclusively to the study of strategic deployments of racial tropes in advertising amid waves of historical challenges. With a well-mixed theoretical, historical, social, and professional narrative, it presents a new approach, critical insight, and a comprehensive reference for the study of advertising and communication, as well as the study of race, society, culture, and globalization.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 304 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is presented by two authors who worked in close cooperation. The first part is written by Ewa Bi¿czyk and discusses various postulates that have been formulated in response to the problem of the unwanted side-effects of the practical success of technoscience which derive from two theoretical perspectives: the study of risk and science and technology studies (STS), inspired by actor-network theory (ANT). In the second part of the book Tomasz St¿pie¿ analyses and characterizes the nano-domain as an example of the development of techno-sciences. Generally, in the case of nanotechnology this book calibrates reciprocally to each other the indeed familiar but also slightly different theoretical approaches established in the philosophy of science and technology. 218 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book addresses the issue of the patient¿s presence in specialist medical publications in the context of a patient-centered approach to medical practice. The author combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to analyze the discourse about the patient in one of the oldest medical genres, case reports. She traces textual references to patients throughout the reports to show that their nature and frequency depend both on the structure of the genre and the context of the production of these texts. The author touches upon the topical issue that although specialist communication may seem to exclude patients, it does not mean it does not concern them. Indeed, they are written about and it appears critical how this is done. 214 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book investigates the European debate on culture and identity by pointing to those uses of language that shape the image and perception of migrants in host societies. The term ¿foreigner¿ is highly sensitive to changes experienced by communities. Its meanings transcend its traditional semantic scope and lead to the discussion of notions such as nation, nationality, immigration, integration, citizenship, nationalism and multiculturalism. The words ¿foreigner¿, ¿Ausländer¿, ¿extranjerö and the network of related terms are discussed from a multidisciplinary approach with the aim of identifying the core features of the concept of ¿foreignness¿ in German, Spanish and English.Dieses Buch untersucht die europäische Diskussion über Kultur und Identität. Im Zentrum steht dabei derjenige Sprachgebrauch, der das Bild und die Wahrnehmung hinsichtlich der Migranten in den Gastgeberländern prägt. Bei gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen wandelt sich auch der Gehalt des Begriffs «Ausländer». Seine Bedeutung geht über den traditionellen semantischen Rahmen hinaus und führt zur Diskussion über Konzepte wie Nation, Nationalität, Migration, Integration, Bürgerschaft, Nationalismus und Multikulturalität. Die Wörter ¿foreigner¿, ¿Ausländer¿, ¿extranjerö und deren semantisches Umfeld werden fachübergreifend behandelt, um die Grundmerkmale des Begriffs ¿Fremdartigkeit¿ auf Deutsch, Englisch und Spanisch zu identifizieren.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 214 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -If philosophy has limits, what lies beyond them One answer is literature. In this study, rather than seeing literature as a source of illustrations of philosophical themes, the author considers both philosophy and literature as sometimes competing but often complementary ways of making sense of and conveying the character of ethical experience. She does so through an analysis of ideas about language, experience and ethics in the philosophy of Nietzsche, and of the way in which these themes are worked out and elaborated in the writings of Robert Musil and the Turkish novelist O¿uz Atay.Peter Lang Group AG Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaft, Place de la gare 12, 1003 LAUSANNE 284 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -José de Acostäs De procuranda Indorum salute: A Call for Evangelical Reforms in Colonial Peru contextualizes and analyzes the deployment of Catholic missionary forces in the Andes. Its exhaustive approach to the ecclesiastic and political reforms of late-sixteenth-century Peru exposes the philosophical and legal underpinnings of Spain's colonial policies. As this book analyzes José de Acostäs De procuranda Indorum salute, one of the most important treatises of the colonial period, it explores influences and intentions and reveals context and subtext. Comprehensive in its appraisal of Acostäs intellectual achievement, this book is essential for scholars and students of this early period of Christian and European expansion in the Americas. Not only does Gregory J. Shepherd examine Acostäs missionary manual against the controversial backdrop of Las Casas and Sepúlveda, but he also reconstructs the political atmosphere surrounding Toledo¿s massive and intrusive transformation of Andean life. Most importantly, this text carries out a thorough study of the ideologies ¿ Christian, Jesuit, and European ¿ underlying Acostäs appeal for political, social, and ecclesiastic reform. 114 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Olympic torch relay held before the 2008 Games was the moment when East met West on the media stage. This book analyses the torch relay and its representation, offering a discursive construction of Olympic ideology by and through the media in both East and West. The author argues that the discourse used by the media in different social contexts reflected the diversity of ideologies and cultural values with which the Olympic flame was imbued.A corpus-based Discourse-Historical Approach in Critical Discourse Analysis (DHA-CDA) is applied to media discourse in the United Kingdom and in China to examine the complexity, contradiction and conflicts in linguistic interpretations of Olympic ideology. Corpora drawn from the China Daily, BBC News and The Guardian are described, interpreted in their linguistic contexts, and then explained in terms of the broader historical and socio-political contexts surrounding the dynamic life of the Olympic torch relay. This unique study sheds light on the significance of the Olympic Games for East-West media discourse and analysis. 280 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Les diverses facettes de la ville se donnent à voir non seulement à travers les travaux des sociologues, des historiens, des géographes, mais également à travers la littérature. En croisant ces approches, les auteurs renouvellent l'éclairage critique des notions de lieu et de non-lieu, d'habitable et d'inhabitable, d'entre-soi, de désaffiliation, ou encore d'errance. Cette approche de l'urbain fait appel aux données de la mémoire orale et s'ancre dans une histoire des traces, dans l'infra-historique et dans les représentations de la spatialité intime. La première partie du livre réévalue la place de l'individu dans les conurbations industrielles et postindustrielles. La deuxième est consacrée à l'examen des réseaux urbains et à la mise en perspective littéraire de quartiers emblématiques, alors que la troisième traite des processus ' d'infection ' et de ' contamination ' à l'oeuvre dans les centres urbains et analyse les mécanismes d'innovation et de blocage sociaux et linguistiques. Dans la quatrième partie, sont examinées les frontières symboliques et la déconstruction du tissu social traditionnel dans le Montbéliard des années soixante, de même que les destinées d'un groupe d'ouvriers dans la vallée du Doubs en voie d'industrialisation ; enfin, un fait-divers criminel exemplaire éclaire les modalités de la cohabitation houleuse entre sédentaires et gens du voyage dans la seconde moitié du siècle industriel. 521 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The chief concern of this book is to discuss a democratic legitimation for modern law. Investigation is therefore steered towards current debates on processes of Europeanisation and the issue of self-constitutionalisation of a democratic polity. This turns out to be a complex concept referring to the threefold constitutionalisation: legal, institutional and horizontal, and hence to processes of evolutionary constitution making as well as institutional and societal constitutionalisation. Developing democratic legitimation in post-conventional terms rests on the presumption of increasing the processes of incrementally rationalising lifeworlds and unveils the role of the practical power of judgement transferred from the concept of a (monological) subject to the (dialogical-discursive) public spheres. 324 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Figuraciones del deseo y coyunturas generacionales en la literatura y el cine podictatorial analiza discursos narrativos sobre el legado de la dictadura militar en Chile. El argumento inicial del libro indica que los «discursos apocalípticos» que representan el legado de Pinochet como opresivo y traumático, están directamente ligados a la construcción de una cultura de consumo y explotación laboral. La segunda parte del proyecto se concentra en personajes de cine chileno (Johnny cien pesos y Machuca) que representan diferentes sectores de la sociedad chilena juvenil y cómo estos personajes dialécticamente representan una realidad sofocante por medio de la iniciación a la adultez. El proyecto concluye que las voces narrativas insisten en la necesidad de representar verdades que se encubrieron como la marginalidad de los jóvenes o los beneficios de una minoría durante los años de la represión militar y el actual neoliberalismo. Este proyecto contiene obras literarias de Diamela Eltit, Alberto Fuguet, J. D. Salinger, Amante Eledín Parraguez y los largometrajes Johnny cien pesos, Dog Day Afternoon, Machuca y Au revoir les enfants. La lectura presta tres tradiciones teóricas: el psicoanálisis, la crítica materialista y el concepto de biopolítica, haciendo eje en los conflictos entre niños y adultos. Este libro medita en los conceptos centrales en el psicoanálisis de deseo (Eros y Thanathos, narcicismo, represión), la estructura de familia (incesto, violencia doméstica, relación filial y fraternal) y el duelo. Además, los conceptos de cosificación, conciencia de clase, enajenación, consumo, disciplina, castigo, observación jerárquica y liberación son parte del marco teórico en esta lectura que hereda de la crítica materialista y biopolítica. 186 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Weißrussland und die Ukraine gelten als zweisprachig. Millionen von Menschen in beiden Ländern sprechen aber oft weder Weißrussisch bzw.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Hunter Thompson¿s writing is widely read and studied, yet as a methodology and body of work his Gonzo journalism has not been the subject of much critical or theoretical examination. This book fills the gap by constructing a coherent theoretical framework around Gonzo journalism.Drawing on theories of subjectivity and authorship from Derrida, Foucault and Barthes, key themes of Gonzo journalism are considered, including edgework, representations of drug use, ideas of professional objectivity in political journalism, sports in American culture and ¿the death of the American Dream¿. It is considered in wider social, political and historical contexts and in terms of boundaries of reportable experience and of objectivity and/or journalism.Matthew Winston¿s study provides a critical commentary and a theoretical exploration of how Gonzo can be read as destabilising conventional ideas of journalism itself, in its peculiarly unclassifiable nature.This book is designed to be read by postgraduates and scholars in journalism, cultural studies and media and communication. It is also suitable as an undergraduate text dealing with journalism theory, literary journalism, sports journalism, the New Journalism and the wider historical contexts of American journalism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 208 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Runner-up for the BAFTSS 2016 Best Book AwardWhy are fictional US presidents everywhere on screen How do these constructs relate to our understanding of the presidency as an institution and the United States as a nation This book sheds new light on fictional representations of the leader of the United States by analysing key films and television series from the early 1990s to the present day. Combining textual analysis with close attention to political and historical contexts, it addresses the ways in which representations of the president have responded to a period of profound change in American politics and society, encompassing the end of the Cold War, 9/11 and the collapse of the economy.Exploring the complex relationship between the political context and the generic, iconographic and narrative parameters upon which mainstream cinema and television are based, this book challenges the tendency to equate content with context. Instead, contemporary representations of the president are examined as critiques of, or reinforcements to, dominant conceptions of political leadership. The reasons behind the proliferation of images of the president during this period are explored, from the archetype in American genre cinema (Air Force One, Independence Day and Deep Impact) to the idealised fantasy figure in network television (The West Wing, 24 and Commander in Chief). This book offers unique insights into the roles mainstream cinema and television continue to play in the reinforcement of mythological conceptions of the American presidency.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 336 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Spike Lee Enigma is an exploration of ideology and political economy in the films and career of one of America's most controversial filmmakers. Since the 1980s Spike Lee has created numerous films that are socially challenging, some would even say radical, while simultaneously maintaining a collaborative relationship with mainstream Hollywood and the global advertising industry. Lee, thus, seemingly represents an enigma ¿ operating on the margins of both hegemonic and counter-hegemonic cultural production.This book incorporates multiple perspectives, ranging from media effects theories, critical cultural studies, and the political economy of media, to semiotics and ideological, auteurist, and feminist approaches to film theory and analysis. Early chapters provide a clear explanation of these theoretical and methodological approaches while later chapters explore several of Lee¿s films in great depth. In a social environment where popular culture has supplanted education and religion as a primary force of socialization and enculturation, this book demonstrates why a popular filmmaker such as Spike Lee must be taken seriously, while introducing readers to ways of viewing, reading, and listening that will allow them to achieve a new understanding of the mediated texts they encounter on a daily basis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 252 pp. Englisch.
