Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Die Wiener Lyrikerin Dr. Melitta Urbancic (1902-1984) musste aufgrund ihrer jüdischen Herkunft 1938 ins Exil gehen. Das Schicksal führte sie und ihre Familie nach Island, wo sie bis zu ihrem Tod wohnhaft blieb. Das Dichten war ihre geistige Überlebensstrategie, die Existenzphilosophie Karl Jaspers' ih…r philosophischer Lebensfaden. Als Konvertitin war sie fest im katholischen Glauben verankert. So sah sie sich gerüstet, um mit den Erfahrungen des Exils ihr neues Land bewusst anzunehmen. In Island fand sie - ohne ihre Heimat zu verges-sen - eine persönliche Form der Integration, eine nicht ausgrenzende, sondern einschließende Lebensform der Bikulturalität. Melitta Urbancic war literarisch von Rainer Maria Rilke, Stefan George und Friedrich Gundolf beeinflusst. Stets blieb sie einer Poetik der traditionellen Vers- und Reimform treu. 248 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«Gerald Dawe observes in the concluding lines of Dreaming of Home that the writers he admires most are those who convey a sense of 'the sheer joy in witnessing the world for its own sake.' Those same words could apply to Dawe himself. H…is readings of seven writers here - Sean O'Casey, W.B. Yeats, John Montague, Patrick Kavanagh, Derek Mahon, Colette Bryce, and Gail McConnell - are animated as much by the sheer joy of reading as by the need to analyse or explain. This is not just a wise book, but a joyous one.»(Chris Morash, MRIA, FTCDSeamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing, TCD) In this vibrant and accessible sequence of readings, Gerald Dawe explores the meaning of home in the work of Irish writers, including W. B. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, Derek Mahon and Gail McConnell. Providing ample encouragement to think about literary questions in a fresh and engaging way, Dreaming of Home concludes with an afterword of praise for the example of the great American poet William Carlos Williams, who mattered greatly to Dawe's own development as a poet. Scholarly and stylish in approach, Dreaming of Home is an invaluable study for the general reader and student alike. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is Magic Magic has been present throughout human cultures in history, proving equally constant and mutable. Defined as supernatural powers, an explanatory belief system or a form of entertainment, magic persists to this day in new…kinds of magical thinking in our highly technical, digitized environment.Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, magic has enjoyed a growing visibility in popular culture and scholarship. Contributing to this field, this volume illuminates the multi-faceted topic from a variety of perspectives. The chapters collected here investigate diverse aspects and shapes of magic to uncover its manifold material and immaterial appearances in past and present cultures. While offering a broad overview, this book also provides close readings and in-depth analyses of specialist examples, including magical talismans and amulets, magic of the stage and screen (e.g. Black Panther, Shape of Water), historical magicians and their representations (e.g. Harry Houdini) and contemporary queer and feminist witchcraft (e.g. #MagicResistance).By tracing magic's strong interrelation with colonial discourses, politics, the economy and the arts, magic's role is shown to go well beyond its traditional definition. Magic can be a political act, a means of empowerment and protest, an economic metaphor, and an instrument of oppression and liberation alike. This broad spectrum of magic discourses and their permeation into different aspects of cultures in history, present day and fiction is analysed by the more than thirty contributors to this volume in short, accessible essays. 342 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«We live in an age defined by toxicity. Bacon and the contributors have produced a timely, astute collection that intelligently and creatively engages and analyzes the wide panoply of trauma and poisoned discourse. Entertaining, fascina…ting and, honestly, terrifying, this book is paradoxically a delight and purgative to read! An antidote to the very thing it explores.» (Professor Kevin J. Wetmore, Jr., author of Post-9/11 Horror in American Cinema)What is Toxic This volume provides a timely and original examination of the concept of «toxic» that today seems to inform all areas of popular culture and society. Connoting many forms of negativity, denial or disillusion, «toxic» has become central to the experience of living in the twenty-first century.Comprising twenty-nine original essays by experts in their fields, this collection offers something of a guide to how areas of toxicity often overlap and/or inform other ones. Topics as diverse as «fake news», environmental denialism, toxic nostalgia, deep fakes, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo and cancel culture are covered. Studied texts include popular culture from the film Get Out (2018) to the Pussy Hat Movement, from social media «sadfishing» to governmental responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.This companion unravels the often purposely entangled narratives that are used to fuel much cultural and political populism. It serves as an important intervention into the conversations occurring around extreme partisanship and divisive views on where we might be heading and how dystopian the future will really be. 346 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a unique Pakistani perspective and understanding of a region that has not been studied extensively to date. Pakistan's Frontier Region has been at the forefront of the War on Terror since 2001. The Federally Administe…red Tribal Agencies (now known as merged Tribal Districts) are a critical geostrategic area for Pakistan. This work highlights key economic, political, and religious issues in the FATA-KP region in order to identify means to eradicate ongoing conflicts and integrate the region within mainstream Pakistani society. This project proposes a series of phased economic development reforms that can guide FATA's transition as an integrated territory within the rest of Pakistan. These reforms can and should encourage dimensions of indigenous economic practices, women's empowerment, the education system, food security, subsistence agriculture, and transportation and communication infrastructure where possible. These improvements can be implemented in 10+ year plans designed to organize a committed effort to develop and integrate FATA with the rest of Pakistan. 320 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Durante los últimos años, un grupo de especialistas de diversos campos y ámbitos geográficos han realizado talleres de Filosofía Aplicada en las prisiones de varios países iberoamericanos (Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, España y México). Las ses…iones entrenaban tres tipos de competencias: pensamiento crítico, gobierno sobre las emociones desbordadas o sobre las pasiones y habilidades de comunicación. Después de culminar los encuentros formativos entre rejas, el equipo avanzó a la investigación y obtuvo resultados usando diversas metodologías disciplinares. Este libro contiene tanto los fundamentos de esta experiencia como las conclusiones prácticas del programa. El primer bloque profundiza en los fundamentos filosóficos y psicológicos del trabajo en prisiones. El segundo desciende a la realidad práctica de las sesiones filosóficas desarrolladas en centros penitenciarios de los países citados. El crecimiento de BOECIO ha sido de tal envergadura que se ha materializado en un centro de investigación, estudio, aplicación de trabajo de la filosofía con personas en riesgo de exclusión social.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Issues of cultural identity and cultural heritage are at the heart of contemporary discourses in many parts of the world. They are used to identify and address the inequalities by marginalized groups; however, they also feed the re-nationaliza…tion and ethno-purist fantasies. But what exactly is culture In this volume, the authors explore how culture is conceptualized and practised by young people in eight countries in numerous and very diverse contexts - schools, interest clubs, organizations and informal youth groups. The chapters show that concepts of culture vary widely within and across sites, regions and countries, highlighting the common, as well as particular, challenges that notions of identity and heritage pose for young people who often aspire to an inclusive and open society 382 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a collection of auto, duo and multi-ethnographies written by frontline language teachers and teacher educators in different parts of the world, including Asia, Africa, Latin America, and North America. These ethnographic ac…counts report how the authors mobilized different forms of action research to resist against neoliberal educational models and the profit-oriented principles by which they are run. The teachers involved in these projects write about a variety of ways in which they engaged with activist and critical research projects that highlight current socio-political movements, invite marginalized students' communities into the process of teaching and learning, use language education as a means of identity negotiation, fight back institutional restrictions, and show how we can teach language for peace and happiness. The writers also explain how they have created an inquiry community to meet and support each other and used auto, duo or multi-ethnography as insiders to bring attention to their embodied knowledge of the challenges involved in contemporary neoliberal educational settings. 326 pp. Englisch.

La restitution de sa place exacte dans le contexte hist…orique et artistique de son époque se révèle passionnant : nous y découvrirons nombre de paradoxes, images d'Epinal entourant la personnalité, l'oeuvre et la compréhension de César Franck. Cet ouvrage s'attache à en éclairer plusieurs aspects contradictoires ou faussés en nous appuyant sur des témoignages, parfois inédits, de ses contemporains, de sa famille et de ses disciples. Attachant, presque mystérieux, Franck a de quoi séduire par une sensibilité romantique contredite par une vie discrète, presque effacée. Isolé et mal compris de Saint-Saëns, Gounod, Massenet, mais porté par ses disciples enthousiastes, il se révèlera tardivement comme une figure marquante du renouveau de la musique française. La fulgurante série de chefs-d'oeuvre de la fin de sa vie continue de fasciner, preuve du rayonnement d'une musique sincère, passionnée et hautement accomplie. 212 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the analysis of communicational practices - whether in the form ofaudience, audience, consumers, users, recipients, participants, spectators -there is an imprecision of terms and occurrences that leaves room forterminological and theoretica…l indecision. Hence the desire to clarify thecontours of the notion of public, while relying on empirical material, and toexamine its multiple transformations.Thanks to a collective interdisciplinary program, researchers in informationand communication sciences and in language sciences from the Center forResearch on Mediations of the University of Lorraine have studied theconditions of production and diffusion of information and knowledge, theattitudes and behaviors of the public, the mechanisms of intercomprehensionor of communicational blockages and the weight of technological factors in mediations. These issues are addressed using methods that combine sociological surveys, targeted ethnographic studies,experiments, and corpus analyses. They are applied to a variety of fi elds,extending work that has already been done, but also shaking up certainresults.This book gathers a selection of signifi cant studies around four sections:the concept of public space; the relationship to the digital; innovations inthe fi eld of health; the relationship to writing in the cultural sector. 328 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The volume «Language and Identity in Migration Contexts», which contains studies from different languages and migration contexts across the world, provides an excellent overview of the topic while highlighting some key elements like mul…tilingualism, societal and educational contexts, as well as forced migration. The volume will therefore be of much interest to researchers working on these topics. (Prof. Dr. Anita Auer, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland)The contributions to this volume shed a new light on various central topics in the discourses on language, migration and identity. The continued centrality of language on identity formation processes is underlined but it is shown that language is not a defining criterion for identity formation processes of migrants, in the context of migration or for heritage speakers in all cases. However, societal contexts play an important role in identity formation and these societal contexts themselves are strongly influenced by the ideologies that are prevalent in societies and that may be perpetuated in educational contexts. In the discussion of language, identity and migration in this volume, perspectives from the Global North are enriched by perspectives of the Global South, and the impact of media influence in migration discourse is analysed. 430 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Farhaan Wali offers a timely contribution to the issues and problems involved in the de-radicalisation process. Trying to generate ethnographic insight into Islamism has always presented a problem for researchers seeking to comprehend Islamism…. Islamist groups operate secretly, making it difficult to penetrate their inner workings. Leaving Islamism is like no other academic analysis of Islamism and de-radicalisation. The author was given access to ex-Islamist actors, giving the book a significant advantage over other books. Therefore, in Leaving Islamism, the author has put together a comprehensive examination of the causes¿political, social, cultural, and interpersonal¿of why some young Muslims leave Islamism in Britain. To go beyond abstract theory, Farhaan Wali has conducted in-depth interviews with ex-members of Islamist organisations. His access to ex-members put him in the unique position of being able to gather the biographical information required to study the causes of «dropping out» of Islamism. Therefore, Leaving Islamism will be vital reading for anyone seeking to understand why some young Muslims leave Islamism.(Dr Alhagi Manta Drammeh, Associate Professor in Islamic Studiesand visiting scholar at the University of The Gambia in politicsinternational relations and diplomacy MSC programme)¿Islamism continues to inspire countless young people in Britain to turn away from the bedrock principles of this country, infusing them with religious fanaticism. Events such as the Manchester bombing or the beheading of Lee Rigby seem to trigger a flood of predictable academic attention. However, these responses are still largely transfixed on the causality of Islamism. The debate needs to move forward and take stock of additional dimensions of Islamism. Although scores of young Muslims are flowing towards the spectre of Islamism, there are equal numbers flooding out from it.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this landmark study of the literary relationship between the gospel of John and the synoptic gospels, Gary Greenberg presents compelling evidence for the existence of a written pre-canonical Alpha gospel that contained almost all of…the main episodes in the adult life of Jesus (excluding major speeches, such as discourses, parables, and 'I Am' sayings) and which became the written source for the core biography of Jesus in Mark, Luke, John, and Matthew. While Mark used the Alpha gospel with only slight variations, John had profound theological disagreements with it, objecting to its theological message about how to obtain eternal life, the depiction of Jesus, and other matters. This induced him to rewrite the Alpha gospel so that it conformed to his own very different theological agenda. Consequently, John's gospel functions as a thorough theological critique of Mark, but the changes he introduced made it difficult to see how he and Mark worked from the same written source. By using John's theological concerns as a filter for reading and understanding what objections John would have with Mark's Jesus stories, The Case for a Proto-Gospel reverse-engineers the editorial path taken by John and reconstructs the content of the Alpha gospel. Finally, the author discusses the relationship of the other two synoptic gospels to the Alpha gospel, asserting that Luke also knew the Alpha gospel but used Mark as his primary source, and that while Matthew did not know the Alpha gospel, his use of Mark as a primary source ensured that his core biography of Jesus also derived from this earlier source. Overall, Greenberg's The Case for a Proto-Gospel is a fascinating work that contains ingenious ideas that introduce new possibilities for understanding John and for rethinking its relationship with the Synoptics. The monograph succeeds in highlighting the notable similarities and differences between the gospels, in stimulating discussions about the interpretation of specific Johannine passages, and in raising important questions about the composition of John's Gospel that can only lead to a deepening of scholarly interest in the topic.Jonathan W. Lo, Review of Biblical LiteratureGreenberg's massive book will prove to be a useful conversation partner to all who are involved in the study of John's relation to the synoptics and the larger discussion of the synoptic problem. I especially welcome Greenberg's attempt to draw the academic community's attention to the extraordinary complexity of the data involved in the discussion. His ability to illustrate said complexity, even as the hypothesis of Johannine dependence on the synoptics is currently gaining momentum in the field, is why this book is so timely and necessary.Revue Biblique 738 pp. Englisch.

It provides a comprehensive and updated review of the complex and rich debate on the question of g…enres and subgenres, while at the same time offering a fresh perspective. Eloquent and very well written, this volume reveals America's fascination with catastrophic future scenarios, including the post-apocalyptic, delving into the issues that surround critical dystopia, progress, hope and fear. The close readings offer lucid, insightful interpretations of texts that range from SF literary ancestor, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to Margaret Atwood's award winning The Testaments, sequel to the acclaimed The Handmaid's Tale.»(Eleonora Rao, Università degli Studi di Salerno) This volume investigates dystopia in twenty-first-century US fiction. Using a methodological framework based on sociology, it theorizes a correlation between the crisis of the Frontier myth and of American exceptionalism and a renewed interest in dystopian worlds. Part One illustrates the methodological framework, exploring the concept of dystopia, offering an overview of the American myths and of their current status and spotlighting some relevant sociological theories. Part Two applies the proposed methodological framework to four texts, investigating the sub-genres of political, technological and environmental dystopia. The primary works, chosen to show both the relevance of the abovementioned American myths to dystopian narratives and the pervasiveness of the genre across the media, are Margaret Atwood's The Testaments (2019), Dave Eggers's The Circle (2013), David Cage's video game Detroit: Become Human (2018), and the Hughes Brothers' 2010 movie The Book of Eli. 304 pp. Englisch.

By combining theoretical notions about territorial cohesion, territorial development, and social investment, the book provides an argument for the 'territorialization of social investment policy' in the case of Lithuania. The contributions of various authors encourage a different way of looking at the territorial sensitivity of welfare policy strategies implemented in advantaged developing areas and those which are disadvantaged peripheral territories. 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work offers a novel and interdisciplinary approach to Translation Studies by connecting this discipline with the oral history on communism. Following the collapse of the communist regime in the Eastern bloc (1989-1991), oral histor…y interviews became the research method par excellence, providing an alternative version to the distorted public discourse. This book addresses the challenges posed by the translation of transcribed historical interviews on communism. The author's translation from Romanian into English of an original corpus helps formulate a methodological framework nonexistent, up to this point, within Translation Studies. Additionally, drawing on research in conversation analysis and psychology, the so-called fictive orality of the data is defined according to an innovative tripartite paradigm: vividness, immediacy, and fragmentation. Inscribed in the current call for translators' activism and visibility, the work draws on oral history terminology to reflect on the translational experience as a 'dialogic exchange' whereby listening assumes central importance. The descriptive and prescriptive paradigms work in concert, facilitating the understanding of translation strategies and of the mechanisms animating historical interviews. However, beyond these theoretical insights, what gains prominence is the argument of the affectivity steeped in the interviews, which alerts translators to the emotive cadence of oral history. Translation is understood here not only as a linguistic and cognitive exercise but rather as a subjective and necessary undertaking in which translators become co-creators of history, illuminating the way knowledge about the past has been and continues to be formed and mediated. 398 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pensar el estudio de la comunicación como una 'guerra' implica reconocer que este no es un campo de estudio delimitado por una sola disciplina o una estricta definición del concepto 'comunicación'. Exige, también, identificar diversas t…radiciones de investigación, así como explorar los principales dilemas que han guiado varias disciplinas en distintas épocas históricas y latitudes del mundo. Esta colección de tres volúmenes propone analizar la comunicación y los medios desde diversas trincheras. Estos diversos panoramas enfoques, tradiciones, épocas, escuelas, autores y sus preocupaciones dialogan entre sí. No hay consensos definitivos; pero tampoco perdedores o ganadores en el debate. La 'guerra' consiste, entonces, en identificar lo que está en juego; reconocer la diversidad de opiniones e intereses, y; considerar el vasto arsenal disponible para resolver los grandes dilemas de la comunicación.Volumen III. Preguntas y metodolgías de investigaciónEste tercer volumen de la colección La comunicación y sus guerras teóricas analiza las principales preguntas y metodologías que han guiado la investigación y la docencia en esta área de estudio. Las aportaciones de las y los autores giran en torno a tres ejes que, de modo general y como revisan los dos tomos anteriores, organizan este campo de estudio: (1) el poder aparentemente ilimitado de los medios; (2) los efectos y los usos de la información, y; (3) el papel que juegan las audiencias en los procesos de comunicación masiva. Organizados en estos tres apartados, los capítulos de este tomo analizan las principales preguntas y las metodologías de investigación que han resultado útiles ante los dilemas que impone el poder de los medios, las perpetuas revoluciones tecnológicas, el constante flujo de contenidos mediáticos o la multiplicación de roles que adquieren las audiencias ante nuevas plataformas, tendencias comunicativas y espacios de participación. El objetivo en esta revisión es exhortar a las nuevas generaciones a plantear alternativas ante retos (quizá aparentemente) insólitos e incluso infranqueables a los que nos enfrentan la comunicación y los medios en estas primeras décadas del siglo XXI. 278 pp. Spanisch.
