Hardcover. Etat : Wie neu. 280 p. As new. - The volume is concerned with educational developments in small and microstates, a topic that has only relatively recently started to attract the attention it deserves. It is guided by the questions (i) if and how small and microstates deal with policy challenges to their education systems that are particularly important for their future development and (ii) whether there is something like typical «small / microstate behavior.» The volume seeks to contribute to a genuinely comparative approach to education in small and microstates. Moreover, widening conventional definitions of smallness, it aims to advance research in the field not only in a thematic but also in a theoretical perspective. Overall, the volume seeks to expand our understanding of small and microstates and by implication of big states as well , especially regarding what is general and what is particular about their behavior. - Table of contents: Part I: Introduction -- Is 'Small' Always Small and 'Big' Always Big?

Softcover. Etat : Sehr gut. 301 pp. A good and clean copy. - Summary: This study traces the poetic development of Arthur Hugh Clough through a methodological approach based on close readings of his most important works with separate chapters devoted to the three great poems of his maturity: The Bothie of Toper-na-Fuosich, Amours de Voyage and Dipsychus. Attention is also given to the socio-cultural context and the religious and political debates which contributed in shaping Clough's artistic and ideological vision, particularly through the influential figures of Thomas Arnold, John Henry Newman and Ralph Waldo Emerson. That Clough remains to this day one of the most neglected nineteenth-century writers is all the more remarkable given the importance of his intellectual contribution to his times and his radical questioning of religious faith, traditional values and poetic norms. - Contents: RUGBY VERSES Childhood, Rugby and Thomas Arnold -- Thoughts from Home -- An Incident -- OXFORD VERSES Newman and Tractarianism -- Truth is a Golden Thread; Blank Misgivings -- A QUESTIONING SPIRIT The New Sinai -- The Mystery of the Fall -- Easter Day I and II -- POLITICAL AND SATIRICAL VERSES Carlyle, Emerson and Republicanism -- Matthew Arnold -- Say Not the Struggle Nought Availeth -- Duty - that s to say complying; The Latest Decalogue; Natura Naturans -- THE BOTHIE OF TOPER-NA-FUOSICH Clough's Hexameters -- The Bothie of Tober-na-Fuosich -- AMOURS DE VOYAGE Clough's Poetic Persona -- Amours de Voyage -- DIPSYCHUS Clough's manuscripts -- Dipsychus.

Set in the context of the contemporary Chinese nationalistic culture this book dissects how Chinese media enhances disaster relief by constructing the meaning of it. It takes a historical overview of the negotiations between discursive power and media coverage of natural disasters in Chinese media. It then conducts a case study of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake to analyze how Chinese media enhance crisis control in engaging with contemporary Chinese nationalism. In examining the mediated disaster relief closely relevant to this study within a global context this book briefly analyzes the Australian media's representation of the 2013 Tasmanian Bushfire. In a penetrating investigation of the research question a systematic theoretic framework is structured consisting of the theories of representation, discourse and power, cultural identity, media framing and narratives. - Contents: Chapter One Introduction -- Chapter Two Theoretical Framework and Methodology -- Chapter Three Discursive Control of Natural Disaster Reporting in Chinese Media: a Historic Overview -- Chapter Four Chinese Media Representation of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake -- Chapter Five Articulating Chinese National Identity in the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake Coverage -- Chapter Six Discourse of Resistance: the Global Implication -- Chapter Seven Conclusion.

Softcover, 23 cm. Etat : Sehr gut. 180 pp. A perfect copy. - Summary: This book focuses on the development of Italian American cultural identity throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Italy is becoming a destination, rather than a starting point for immigrants. Immigration remains a source of tension and debate both in the United States and in Europe. Analyzing the evolution of Italian American identity, from diaspora to globalization, from emblematic to latent ethnicity, can thus prove insightful. Disparate works, including novels, films and newspaper articles, both by Italian and non-Italian American authors illustrate this paradigm. The catalyst for this transformation is the Second World War, which allowed Italian Americans to take part in the struggle to liberate Italy from Fascism, establishing in this way a connection with their roots while adhering more closely to mainstream American society through participation in the conflict. Post-war expressions of Italian American culture include the development of women's writing, cinematic interactions with American Jews and African Americans, and the works of two novelists, Don DeLillo and Anthony Giardina, who embody different aspects of latent ethnicity. - Contents: Emblematic Ethnicity: Fictions of the Italian American -- Italian Americans from a Mainstream Perspective -- Documenting Fascism and World War II in an Italian American Perspective -- Fictions and Memoirs of the Italian American War Experience -- Representations of Italian American Internment -- Domestication of Ethnicity: The Fictions of Women -- Italian Americans in Jewish and African American Cinema -- Latent Ethnicity: Metamorphoses of Italian American Identity.

Part I contains diachronic studies which cover data from Middle English to Present-Day English and which explore phenomena such as the status of extender tags, the distribution of free adjuncts, post-auxiliary ellipsis, and the use of 'ephemeral' concessive adverbial subordinators. Part II comprises studies on grammar and language processing dealing with topics such as the interaction between syntactic and structural complexity and verbal agreement with collective subjects, the influence of distributivity and concreteness on verbal agreement, the interaction of complexity and efficiency in pronoun omission in Indian English and Singapore English, and the methods and approaches used for grammar teaching in modern EFL/ESL textbooks. Finally, Part III revolves around lexis, discourse and pragmatics, with papers that discuss the development of the discoursal representation of social actors in Argentinian newspapers after the military dictatorship, the construction of women's gender identity through positive and negative emotions in women's magazines, and spelling-to-sound correspondence on Twitter. - Contents: Introduction (Sofía Bemposta-Rivas, Carla Bouzada-Jabois and Yolanda Fernández-Pena) -- Part I: Diachronic studies -- Looking into extender tags in Late Modern English: The case of or something or other (Alba Pérez-González) -- Referential links in -ing and -ed free adjuncts in Late Modern English (Carla Bouzada-Jabois) -- Ephemerality in concessive subordinators.

Softcover, 22 cm. Etat : Wie neu. 226 pp. A copy in mint condition. - Summary: This book argues that a profound shift can be found in the works of Virginia Woolf, from an early «pursuit of the individual» to a late «pursuit of the collective». Evidence for this shift is found both in the narrative modes she employed and the methods by which thought is represented in the works themselves, and in ideas and ruminations found in Woolf's diaries and essays. The stylistic analysis covers works from The Voyage Out (1915) to the posthumously published Between the Acts (1941), and shows how several of the shorter pieces can be considered to be experiments with techniques that were fully employed in Woolf's longer, major fictions. This shift arises from changes in Woolf's concept of the conscious and unconscious over time, and the argument shows how she took deliberate steps to reflect these changes in her fiction. This framework provides key insights for new interpretations of her works. - Contents: " 1.

This study describes a mathematical method for a probabilistic estimate of the wind propulsion force on a ship route. The method is based on quantile regression, which makes it suitable for various ship routes with variable weather conditions. Furthermore, the author takes different macro weather situations into account for the calculation of the statistical distributions. He validates the results for a multi-purpose carrier, a ship route in the North Atlantic Ocean and archived weather forecasts. It showed that the wind force can be estimated more accurately if the macro weather situation is taken into account properly. - Contents: 1. Introduction -- 1.1.

The book is divided into three major sections: (i) English language education; (ii) English language teacher education and recruitment policy; (iii) English language testing policies and practices in different contexts. Each chapter has a different research focus (e.g., CLIL, English as an international lingua franca in education, English for specific purposes, etc.), but aims at drawing informed and balanced conclusions with regard to a series of TESOL concerns. Essentially, what this volume provides, and what makes it unique as an edited publication in the field of ESOL education, is a principled awareness of the need to communicate research in one specific domain of teaching and learning to a broader area of ESOL education that is not necessarily delimited by familiar educational practices but can be generalized for other contexts as well. - Table of Contents: Introduction: English Language Education in the Mediterranean Region and Beyond (Yasemin Bayyurt / Nicos Sifakis) -- Part I.

However, there is a paucity of research on how teachers use textbooks in relation to their beliefs, with analytic methods in such studies mainly restrained to content-based thematic analysis. To this end, from the perspectives of Halliday's (1994) systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and Vygostky's (1978) socio-cultural theory (SCT), this book explores how a Chinese college English teacher acts upon his beliefs and uses textbooks to mediate his students' English learning in his classroom. Drawing on constructs of the SFL-based appraisal and speech function as well as interview excerpts, the study reveals that in the textbook-based classroom the Chinese college English teacher acts upon his beliefs that are constructed by diverse contextual factors. Implications of this study include using SFL and SCT to explore educators' beliefs and practices and also providing effective teacher education for Chinese college English instructors to reshape their beliefs so that they are better prepared to use textbooks in classrooms. - Contents: 1.

Un ejemplar impecable. - Summary: El siglo XX fue, según Eric Hobsbawm, la "época de los extremos": guerras, genocidios, opciones políticas extremas y la llegada al poder de regímenes autoritarios, la amenaza nuclear, la sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales, violencia, pobreza y hambrunas extremas de un lado, riquezas inmensas y un fuerte crecimiento económico, del otro. Todas estas facetas de lo extremo han dejado profundas huellas en los ámbitos artísticos y culturales, un hecho del que España y Austria no quedaron al margen. Ambos países sufrieron durante el siglo XX cambios profundos, conflictos armados, guerras y dictaduras autoritarias cuyas consecuencias siguen vivas en las respectivas memorias colectivas hasta hoy. El presente volumen está dedicado a aquellas trazas dejadas por los extremos y a sus realizaciones sociales, políticas e ideológicas en los terrenos de la literatura, la lingüística, el arte, la música, el cine, la historiografía y la filosofía. El punto de encuentro interdisciplinario entre las diferentes propuestas se sitúa en la influencia de la historia real en cada uno de estos ámbitos. - Indice: El discurso del conflicto lingüístico en Austria y España (Raúl Sánchez Prieto) -- El pathos del horror en los discursos franquistas y nacionalsocialistas (Paul Danler) -- Comunicación extrema en televisión: estrategias argumentativas del discurso privado en contexto público (Marta Fernández-Villanueva) -- La interacción periodista-lector en la prensa online del siglo XXI.

It is designed to examine the relationship between teachers' motivation and their attitudinal elements including teacher engagement and commitment, and teaching approaches. This study adopts a mixed-method design that starts with a quantitative phase in which data were collected and analysed to examine the hypothesised predictive power of teachers' motivation on their engagement, commitment and teaching approaches. In the second phase, qualitative data acquired via semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis were collected to further interpret, explain and elaborate the quantitative results in greater depth. As language teaching has been an often-researched discipline in the teacher motivation literature, this study prompts one to rethink and reflect on the effectiveness of college English curriculum reform and provides implications for current college English teaching and the development of college English teachers. - Table of Contents: " Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Literature Review -- Chapter 3: Methodology -- Chapter 4: The Characteristics of College English Teachers' Goal Orientations for Teaching -- Chapter 5: The Relationships Between Teachers' Goal Orientations for Teaching, Engagement and Commitment -- Chapter 6: The Relationships Between Teachers' Goal Orientations for Teaching and Approaches to Teaching -- Chapter 7: Discussion and Conclusions.

Softcover, 23 cm. Etat : Sehr gut. XIV, 234 pp. A perfect copy - Summary: This book proposes entanglement as a useful idiom for understanding the contemporary Manila theatre. Drawing on its Tagalog counterpart, buhol-buhol, entanglement is conceived not only as a juxtaposition among elements, but also as a process of muddling and snaring. Taken together, these affirm the entangled character of contemporary Manila theatre in overlapping representations, histories, relationships and genres, while at the same time marking some problematic limitations in the treatment of chosen subjects by Manilan artists. The reason for this is that while these entanglements render Manila theatre far more complex than the accusations of mimicry and inauthenticity frequently leveled at Filipino culture, artists are often caught up in a more intractable buhol-buhol than they are willing or able to recognize. Four figures of buhol-buhol are identified in this book: pista (fiesta), kapuluan (archipelago), patibong (trap), and nangingibang-bayan (overseas-worker). In conceptualizing these figures of entanglement, the discussions start by illustrating their materiality and performativity before proceeding to reflections about how these are directed towards the complexity of Manila theatre. - Table of Contents: Chapter One: Introduction: Conceiving Entanglement in the Vernacular -- Historical Persistency of Inauthenticity and Mimicry in Philippine Theater -- Manila Theater as Inauthentic and Product of Mimicry - Pastiche? -- Conceiving Entanglement -- The Search for the Vernacular: Buhol-Buhol -- Buhol-Buhol as Affirmation and Critique -- Chapter Two: Pista -- The Catholic and the Pista -- Pista and the Affirmation of Buhol-Buhol -- Performing Buhol-Buhol in Rizal X -- Denying the Buhol-Buhol in Rizal X -- Postscript: Carlos Celdran as Jose Rizal in Damaso -- Chapter Three: Kapuluan -- Entangling Islands in an Archipelago -- Performing the Kapuluan in the Capital -- Komedya: On Being National Theater -- Entanglement in the Making of National Theater -- The Love Motif and Nationalism -- Orosman at Zafira and Performing the Kapuluan -- Chapter Four: Patibong -- Patibong, Lambat and Bihag: Entrapment of Time and Space -- From Time and Space to Identity in Patibong -- Performing the Hunter and the Prey -- But the Patibong is Empty -- Enchantment, Fascination and Captivation as Patibong -- Chapter Five: Nangingibang-bayan -- Entangling the Sending/Home Country and the Receiving/Host Country -- The Nangingibang-Bayan Onstage and the Creation of Entangled Spaces -- Restrictions and Blockages -- Silenced body of the singing maid -- Affective labor and tolerance -- Musical Theater in Manila and Nangingibang-bayan -- Chapter Six: Conclusion.

It outlines characteristics for happening which are viewed in relation to educational discourses to determine how learners and teachers might be involved. In connection with this, the author considers critical pedagogy, teaching as a liminal practice, creative pedagogy and multiple intelligences. The book also provides details of a participatory research strategy, based upon bricolage and the rhizome, implemented for an inquiry into happening and EFL teaching in a Polish school. The author suggests there may be resistance to the use of happening in schools due to the dominance of transmission-based teaching and unfavourable attitudes towards creativity.

The terminology and discourse nexus is central to all the contributions in the volume, which focus on recent linguistic approaches and fields, such as term variation and the synchronic/diachronic formation of terms, popularization, genre chains and networks, textual terminology, extraction of terms in large and small corpora, management and knowledge of «dynamic» and «flexible» data. Ce volume se propose d'apporter une contribution au débat sur les liens entre terminologie et discours, en s'appuyant sur de nouvelles modalités d'analyse de termes dans des milieux linguistiques authentiques. La terminologie et l'analyse de discours sont ainsi au cur de toutes les contributions de ce volume, qui adoptent des approches méthodologiques récentes dans des domaines comme la variation des termes et de leur formation en synchronie et en diachronie, la vulgarisation, la terminologie textuelle, l'extraction des termes dans les grands et petits corpus ainsi que de la gestion et la connaissance de données « dynamiques » et « flexibles ». - Contents: Introduction (Jana Altmanova / Maria Centrella / Katherine E.

Such texts are here contemplated from the stance of genre theory, which starts from the premise that specialised communities have a high level of rhetorical sophistication, the keys to which are offered solely to their members. In particular, the book investigates the communicative devices that serve the need of such professions to exert power and manipulation, and to use persuasion. The perspective adopted in this work does not envisage power simply as a distant, alienated and alienating supremacy from above, but as an everyday, socialized and embodied phenomenon. To attain its goal, the volume brings forth studies on the language of several professions belonging to various specialised fields such as law and arbitration, engineering, economics, advertising, business, politics, medicine, social work, education and the media. - Contents: Introduction (María Ángeles Orts / Ruth Breeze) -- Power through Manipulation -- Interdiscursive Manipulation in Media Reporting: The Case of the Panama Papers in India (Vijay K.

In this light, fashion has represented an important piece of material culture in modern industrial urban societies and in postcolonial and non-western contexts. Today, we are witnessing a turn in this imaginary as issues related to social, environmental and cultural sustainability come to predominate in many areas of human activity. The book addresses this challenge. By facilitating encounters between disciplines and cultures, it explores a multitude of fashion issues, practices and views that feed the contemporary fashion imaginary: local cultures, linguistic codes, TV series, movies, magazines, ads, blogs, bodily practices. The book deals with a paramount issue for fashion studies: how do the production and circulation of fashion imaginary come about in the 21st century? - Table of Contents: New frontiers of the fashion imaginary (Emanuela Mora / Marco Pedroni) -- Part 1: Fashion and the media -- Fashion fandom and TV quality drama: From poaching to everyday identity performance through Pinterest (Romana Andò) -- Dressed in politics: The use of costumes in Game of Thrones (Luisa Valeriani) -- Second life community and global citizenship: A fashion tale of a virtual empire (Phylis Johnson) -- Is the golden era of fashion blogs over?

The author evaluates the interrelation between black-market phenomena and historical and geographical conditions. At first, the black market stabilized the system by making it more flexible and creating a margin of freedom, albeit in the short term. In the long run, the informal economic activities of the people ran counter to and undermined the official ideology of the state. The author concludes that in post-war Poland, owing to a singular coincidence of historical, political, economic and social factors, the second economy had its own unique character and an endemic presence that loomed large in the Soviet Bloc.

Many major gaps are filled in this study, based on two types of sources: 14 census-like nominal population listings for 126 parishes of the Zurich countryside, complemented by 52 parishes of adjacent areas, and four reconstituted communities with very early parish books. This allowed coming up with detailed population structures by year of age, sex and marital status for the year 1634, with regional variations. Full, detailed mortality tables by sex and for all ages could be calculated for the period 163437, by far the earliest mortality tables worldwide. Mortality during plague epidemics was analysed in detail, too, resulting in the first and only plague mortality table. Model life tables are presented as well, showing a pattern that differs strongly from what has been assumed so far. New insights could also be gained about premarital sex and the importance of remarriages. - Contents: 1.

Les Etats, les groupes d'opinion et les individus optent pour des positions dictées par leur conscience ou par les intérêts politiques. La guerre durant, les neutralismes les plus affirmés vont être mis à mal. Dans le cadre d'une approche historique, géographique, littéraire et artistique, l'objet de cet ouvrage est d'examiner l'évolution des enjeux géopolitiques et des débats d'ordre moral, spirituel ou idéologique qui ont conduit les défenseurs de la neutralité à maintenir leur position pendant toutes ces années ou à s'engouffrer de gré ou de force dans la voie de l'interventionnisme. - Table de matières: Préface (Anne Douaire-Banny) -- Présentation (Ineke Bockting / Béatrice Fonck / Pauline Piettre) -- Partie I : Impacts historiques et géographiques de la neutralité -- La Neutralité : introduction historique (Henri Legohérel) -- Neutralité et neutralisme au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale : analyse géographique (Jean-Pierre Lozato-Giotart) -- Partie II : Impartialités, neutralités et engagements -- Neutralité et impartialité du Saint-Siège dans la Grande Guerre (Xavier Boniface) -- Entre impartialité et engagement : le Saint-Siège face aux pressions des belligérants sur le front russe (1914-1917) (Laura Pettinaroli) -- La France devant l'attitude de la Grande-Bretagne pendant la crise de l'été 1914 : les enjeux d'un engagement commun (Pauline Piettre) -- La neutralité italienne en 1914 : un choix définitif ?

Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - Summary: «Die Antike» als eine der zentralen Referenzen der deutschen Aufklärung ist keineswegs homogen, sondern zeichnet sich durch ihre Pluralität aus. Namen und eben auch Lokalitäten implizieren auf kompakte Weise ästhetische Konzepte, anthropologische Programme, ethisch-moralische Normen, Gesellschaftsmodelle, politische Orientierungen oder Ideale literarischer Kommunikation. Die antike Tradition verfügt über eine interne Topographie mit verschiedenen anspielungsreichen Orten; und sie wird von bestimmten Orten aus adressiert und vereinnahmt. In Poetiken und Vorreden, in Bildprogrammen von Titelkupfern und Vignetten oder in Entscheidungen für Gattungen, Sujets und Motive trägt der Rekurs auf die Antike dazu bei, wiedererkennbare Profile zu etablieren. Dabei interagieren literarische Projekte mit einer Vielzahl von Faktoren, die sich aus den regionalen Bedingungen herleiten. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes analysieren die Ordnungen, die dieser Pluralität der Antike im 18. Jahrhundert zugrunde liegen. Sie fragen danach, wie die literarische Aufklärung auf das vielfältige Angebot der Überlieferung zugreift, um Positionen in den Konkurrenzen und Allianzen des literarischen Feldes zu kennzeichnen. - Inhalt: Topographien der Antike in der literarischen Aufklärung Einleitung (Annika Hildebrandt / Charlotte Kurbjuhn / Steffen Martus) -- I.

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Summary: Der in der Schweiz und in Deutschland beschlossene Atomausstieg hat die Debatte um Energieversorgung und -verbrauch ins Zentrum der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. Die Diskussion um die Energieproblematik tangiert Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft gleichermassen. Für die Umsetzung der Energiewende braucht es die Zusammenarbeit verschiedenster Akteure und deren Austausch über Energiethemen. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, wie Sprache in diesen Diskursen verwendet wird und welchen Einfluss Sprache und Kommunikation auf Meinungsbildung, Akzeptanz und Verhalten haben. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beleuchten den Energiediskurs in der öffentlichen Kommunikation und gehen neben methodischen Fragestellungen konkreten Problemstellungen aus der Kommunikationspraxis nach: Wie können Energieunternehmen verständlich mit ihren Kundinnen und Kunden kommunizieren? Inwieweit kann die Öffentlichkeit in die Behördenkommunikation eingebunden werden? Wie beeinflussen Sprache und sprachliche Mittel die Energiedebatte? Welcher sprachlichen Einheiten bedient sich die Debatte? Allen Beiträgen gemeinsam ist der Fokus auf das Zusammenspiel von Sprache, Kommunikation und Interaktion sowie das Aufzeigen der Bedeutung angewandter Linguistik für gesellschaftliche Veränderungsprozesse. - Inhalt: Einleitung -- Energiediskurs - Einführende Überlegungen zu einem aktuellen Thema aus linguistischer Sicht (Ulla Kleinberger / Nicole Rosenberger) -- I.
