Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book discusses narrative as an adaptive cultural mechanism among Gypsies in Serbia. As a key traditional trait of Serbian Gypsies, storytelling, conveyed along kin generations, influences the behavior of all who listen. Since their appearance in the Balkans centuries ago, an insecure social environment has shaped their cultural traditions, including that of storytelling. Their traditional stories reaffirm the strong identity with their kinship group, yet, at the same time, plead loudly for recognition from outsiders. The success achieved by Gypsies in maintaining themselves and their culture can be attributed, in large measure, to the power of their traditional stories. 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As corporate and governmental agencies march us towards global conflict, racism, and imperialism, this book contends that teachers must have the tools with which to combat unilateral politicization of Arabic and Muslim peoples. Teaching Against Islamophobia creates a pedagogical space for educators to engage with necessary issues and knowledges regarding the alienation of Islamic culture, religion, knowledge, and peoples. Edited by a WASP, a Jew, and an Iranian, this book confronts the fears, challenges, and institutional problems facing today's teachers. Taking its cue from critical pedagogy, this book is a collection of essays by artists, writers, performers, and educators committed to naming the insidious racism and hatred of those who would isolate and vilify Islam. 336 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fracturing Opportunity demonstrates a simple yet profound idea - that educational opportunity is learned. And if it is learned, then it can be taught and taught more equitably. This book brings sociocultural theories of learning and development to bear on the persistent problems of inequality in college access, and presents an innovative framework for understanding and addressing the historic inequities that plague educational opportunity. Through ethnographic documentation of Mexican migrants' educational experiences, the book moves beyond traditional inquiry on aspiration, academic preparation, and college matriculation to explore the deeper, more fundamental sense-making processes that mediate how students among the most vulnerable cultural communities in the United States engage in college-going. This is an excellent text for educators and researchers interested in equal educational opportunity generally, Mexican migrant and Chicano education in particular, and scholars interested in applied critical sociocultural theory and critical ethnographic methods. 236 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the 1990s journalism education programs have expanded exponentially around the world, but media freedom has not. Globally comparative, this edited volume assesses journalism education and the challenging environment in which it is delivered in countries with a partly free or not free status according to global press freedom. The countries covered include China, Singapore, Cambodia, Palestine, Oman, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, Russia, Romania, and Croatia. Contributors demonstrate through careful analysis that wealthy nations are able to set the terms of their journalism education while less affluent countries are more open to the influence of foreign NGOs. Although this book evidences the disconnection between what is taught and what can be practiced, it also illustrates the degree to which journalism education can be an agent of change. 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ritualizing the Disposal of the Deceased traces mortuary behavior from the early fossil record to modern religious contexts in diverse cultural settings. By using archival and ethnographic evidence from Buddhist traditions, the author highlights the disparity between doctrines that contradict actual practices performed by Buddhists themselves. By appealing to the evolved cognitive architecture of human minds, this book argues that ritualized disposal behavior is the by-product of mental systems designed to handle living people. Due to complex social intelligence, humans are compelled to handle dead people in ritualized behaviors and to represent them in counterintuitive ways. The author also examines the professional religious guilds that have taken advantage of these ritualized compulsions over the last several thousand years, by giving and controlling the meanings behind these actions. Furthermore, experimental evidence is given to support this hypothesis, providing the first mature cognitive and evolutionary theory for mortuary behavior by humans. 182 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a sequel to the first volume of New International Studies in Applied Ethics and includes essays from some of the same contributors. Like the previous volume, the book explores the interface between medicine and theology. The essays demonstrate the complementarity evident between the two and examine how those coming from different theological traditions are able to provide helpful insights. Points of disagreement, and their crucial role in contributing to an understanding of the complexities of the debate, are acknowledged.Much of the discussion focuses on use of the Bible. The contributors show an awareness of the pastoral necessity of providing access to new medical technologies for those in need. Out of this emerges a positive view of some of the human benefits of modern medicine and the ways in which Christian theology can engage with it constructively. The discussion throughout is related to the wider literature in the field. 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La question linguistique au sein de l'Union européenne est de nature transversale. Le présent ouvrage, qui reproduit les actes d'un colloque organisé par le Collège d'Europe et l'Organisation internationale de la francophonie, l'analyse en premier lieu sous l'angle de la pratique politique et juridique de l'Union européenne.Il s'agit alors de satisfaire tant aux contraintes imposées par le respect du ' principe ' de multilinguisme qu'à celles relatives au fonctionnement efficace d'un système politico-administratif supranational sophistiqué.Une mise en lumière historique, politique, économique, et linguistique permet ensuite de mieux saisir les enjeux de cette pratique institutionnelle. 286 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The articles in this volume were originally presented in spring 2009 at an international conference hosted by the Institute of Germanic and Romance Languages and Cultures at Tallinn University in Estonia. The theme of 'crossing boundaries' is reflected in the rich mix of genres, cultures, applications, and critical theories considered here. Indeed, these articles demonstrate that crossing boundaries can be a companionable journey as well an intellectually enriching experience. 154 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, the focus is on post-merger intercultural integration, effective communication between the relevant cultures and the different politeness strategies adopted by them. It is argued that cultural differences are a key issue in misunderstandings and miscommunication, which can affect a smooth post-merger integration, thereby focusing on differences between the Australians, US-Americans, Germans and the Swiss. The research contributes to bridge the gap between pragmatics, sociolinguistics and intercultural management studies. The empirical findings identify a company's social dimensions and execution skills as strategic sources of competitive advantage in cross-border M&A activity. 174 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of essays arises from the 2005 Cambridge French Graduate Conference on the theme of threat. From the baleful and ubiquitous eyes of surveillance cameras to the ever-present possibility of total nuclear annihilation, threat is everywhere around us. Yet the phenomenon itself, if indeed it is a single phenomenon, has received little attention. This volume seeks to remedy this oversight with a collection of concise, hard-hitting essays on a variety of topics in French culture. Organized around central approaches to the problem of threat - (inter)cultural, philosophical, and approaches through the visual arts - the book examines anxiety, privacy, loss, invasion, and other issues related to the theme. Though emphasis is placed on the contemporary period, writers of the French Renaissance also receive due attention. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book deals with the process of negotiation with the past in the present through the plays of Marina Carr. The title frames the work, connoting the path towards destruction and the sense of lethargy acquired along the way. The book offers an in-depth and extensive reading of Carr's plays. In doing so, it surveys some of the destructive issues represented in the works and provides a series of social and cultural contexts to which the concerns in the works are related. Carr is best known for her trilogy, The Mai, Portia Coughlan and By the Bog of Cats., and more recently Woman and Scarecrow, The Cordelia Dream and Marble. The plays are regularly concerned with notions of identity in the context of self-destruction, self-estrangement and displacement. This book applies Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection to Carr's plays in an effort to structure the loss the author identifies in the works. Themes of memory, history and myth are examined in the context of these concerns in provocative and confrontational ways. 319 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Migration is radically changing European ideas of culture and identity. Today, the demographic makeup of Europe can be represented only through complex ethnic, cultural and linguistic cartographies. Yet scholarly research into migration has been largely confined to the political and social sciences; only recently has migration attracted attention from the humanities and literary studies. Migration and Literature in Contemporary Europe focuses on literature which deals with the experience of migration, often written in a language acquired through migration. The contributors look beyond the stereotyped discourse of alienation, subversion and invasion too often associated with the subject of migration. The essays discuss theoretical and methodological approaches to migration literature at times from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, and they relate migration to similar phenomena such as the literature of exile, diaspora or postcolonialism. By analyzing a diverse range of texts in many different European languages and from various cultural contexts, the essays reveal new ways of understanding Europe in transition. 378 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume presents selected proceedings of a conference on 'Europe and its Others' held at St Andrews University in 2007. It seeks to explore the collective and cultural persona implied by Europe's richly diverse gaze upon, and dealings with, non-Europeans, encountered or represented in the course of travel, trade, conquest or cultural exchange - and their gaze-in-return questioning 'Europe'. The play of defining 'interperceptions' is followed here in a series of essays covering a broad spectrum of imaginative writings, film, history and culture theory produced in many European languages. Bringing together specialists in all these fields, this volume scans the unseen processes that the early twenty-first century has come to discern in identity formation: the role of gender as a paradigmatic signifier of Otherness; the narrating of history and memory; the role of border zones and marginalities; the hidden grammar of hostility and violence; the bonding effected by shared values and sacralities; public and private spaces of representation; the Other without and the otherness within. What emerges from this two-way play of reflection is a sense of the tissue of awareness of the cultural identity that is 'Europe'; and, perhaps, a renewed openness to Europe's Others. 297 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Literature and theology have long been conversation partners. The great themes of human existence form the subject matter of their shared discussion. However, comedic literature has often been overlooked as a serious means to fostering such theological engagement. This book seeks to rectify this imbalance. By examining selected works of the eighteenth-century playwright and novelist Henry Fielding, we are shown that a comedic world has much to say that is of true theological significance. Recognizing the value of much traditional Fielding research, the author departs from its inherent determinism which, he believes, stifles more fruitful opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue. Key to his desire to engage the comedic in this conversation, he introduces the interpretative tool of misplacement. By this is meant a continuous parting with the ineffable - the perpetual recognition that in comedic writing there is always a fragile sense of the other. Setting Fielding's fiction alongside works of contemporary philosophical theology and postmodern works of fiction, the author allows common critical zones such as epistemology, ethics, mimesis, canonicity, and revelation to be investigated. In all these areas, the novel, in Fielding's hands, displays a powerful comic resonance with a less deterministic theology, and subverts those assumed securities regarding the status of the individual in the world before God. Ultimately, the book offers the challenge of recognizing that the nature of the novel is inescapably theological and that theology itself is, indeed, fictive. 291 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The author of this work, in dealing with major aspects of William Ockham's thoughts, argues that what underlies Ockham's intellectual as well as religious understanding, and what it points to is his high view of human capability. Especially significant is the role of reason in the formation of religious doctrines as universal truths. By examining Ockham's original writings and major contemporary scholarship, the author knits together the seemingly isolated topics to present a unified picture of a medieval mind which had made enormous contribution to the history of human ideas and religious habits. Although Ockham's high view on human capability had been suggested, no comprehensive research was undertaken to establish the theory and indicate its implication. The work is timely, considering the fact that human capability which is not void on the dimension of spirituality is important for safeguarding religious pursuit from neglecting both rational and volitional responsibilities. The significance of the justified relation between human contribution and divine will which dominates the discussion of this book is as titillating as the more ancient debate about the relation between divine grace and human volition. 298 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Japanese landscape print has had a tremendous influence on Western art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In Japan and in the West it is often seen as the dominant form in Ukiyo-e, pictures from the floating world. And yet for all its importance, it is a genre whose history has never been written. Beyond The Great Wave is a survey or overview for all those interested in discovering the inner dynamics of one of art history's most remarkable achievements. However, it is also a quest narrative, in which landscapes and notions of Japan as a homeland are intertwined and interconnected. Although there has never been a book-length study of the Japanese landscape print in either Japanese or English, a great deal has been written about the two giants of the genre, Hokusai and Hiroshige. From what traditions did these two nineteenth-century artists emerge Who were their predecessors What influence, if any, did they have on other Ukiyo-e artists Can their influence be seen in the shin-hanga and sôsaku-hanga artists of the twentieth century This book addresses these issues, but it also looks at a number of other factors, such as the growth of tourism in nineteenth-century Japan, necessary for understanding this genre. 234 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is the first monographic study on subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing from a multidisciplinary perspective, from engineering to philology. The book departs from studies, analyses, tests, validations, resulting data, and their application from the nation-wide research on accessibility and usability of subtitles carried out in Spain. Tests and further analysis were carried out paying attention to users' hearing profiles, the many formal features of subtitles - size, font, colour, position, etc. -, and the syntax of the subtitle. The book also contains articles which discuss present and future research on subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing carried out in Canada and across Europe: Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Spain, and UK. It provides an outlook for the implementation of the European Guidelines on Media Accessibility. 235 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Questions and theoretical debates arising from considerations of the role of democratic citizenship education in several countries in the world are evident in academic literature. However, very little research on the voices of young children on their experiences and understandings of their citizenship and their democratic identity exists. In her book the author grapples with the nuanced concept of democratic citizenship education and how this affects the lives of young children. The book is based on a case study: the nine-year-old children of an inner-city school in South Africa and their life experiences of a democratic South Africa as child citizens. The data gathering process is innovative and multiple participatory data collection instruments were used. The author reminds the reader that theoretical debates on citizenship will benefit from reflections in and beyond classrooms by children themselves. This research-based project reveals how the perspectives of young children are critical to their understandings of what it means to be South Africans. 233 pp. Englisch.

Il fallait un deuxième jour pour oublier, me sortir de l'obscurité de ces faits [.]. Un troisième jour pour effacer ce qui avait été écrit, écrire. ' Durant plus d'un demi-siècle, Marguerite Duras a entrelacé sa vie et son oeuvre à l'Histoire, empruntant des voies qui rendaient poreux le réel et la fiction. Ce mouvement complexe ne peut se détacher, comme l'écrivain le précise elle-même, de l'articulation entre la mémoire et l'oubli. Les textes rassemblés ici partagent l'objectif de faire toute la lumière sur ces problématiques qui constituent l'un des piliers de l'oeuvre durassienne, des Impudents à C'est tout .Le présent ouvrage est issu du colloque international ' Marguerite Duras : desseins de mémoire et d'oubli ' qui s'est tenu à l'Université catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgique) du 2 au 4 mars 2006, à l'occasion du dixième anniversaire de la mort de l'écrivain. 321 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Diese Festschrift ehrt Martin Forstner, Professor an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz und zeichnet einige der wesentlichen Initiativen eines grossen Gelehrten und Wegebereiters nach, dessen Forschung und Publikationen für die Translationswissenschaft als richtungweisend gelten. Seine Freunde und Kollegen der CIUTI widmen ihm diesen Band in Dankbarkeit für sein Wirken auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene. Die hier behandelten Themen spiegeln die vielfältigen Facetten der Translationswissenschaft wieder.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -À la différence de son prédécesseur, Charles de Gaulle, Georges Pompidou a appréhendé le projet européen non seulement dans sa relation avec le fait national, mais également en lui-même. L'originalité de sa pensée est présentée dans cet ouvrage qui réunit ses interventions publiques mais aussi une large sélection de documents issus des archives de la Présidence de la République, annotés par Georges Pompidou et souvent inédits.Dès l'époque de la crise de la chaise vide, en 1965, Georges Pompidou constate que l'insertion de la France dans la Communauté est un processus irréversible sur lequel il faut s'appuyer. C'est ce qu'il cherche à faire en associant l'intérêt national dont il avait la charge au potentiel offert par la Communauté. Il le fait dans le domaine économique et monétaire, en politique étrangère, hautement symboliques des rapports de force avec l'Amérique, en impulsant de nouvelles politiques communes. Il rejoint cependant le Général en cherchant à promouvoir une ' Europe européenne ', ce qui le conduit à émettre des réserves quant aux évolutions institutionnelles souhaitées par les partenaires de la France.Cet ouvrage montre également que la démarche de Georges Pompidou relève d'une vision fort ancienne de l'identité européenne, fondée sur la conscience de l'existence d'une civilisation commune. De cette vision, découle une ligne d'action spécifique et une démarche européenne originale appuyée sur la volonté d'échapper à tout déterminisme, et à ne s'engager que dans un projet totalement assumé. Georges Pompidou était bien porteur d'un projet pour l'Europe. 447 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'ouvrage présente un bilan de trente années de réformes des systèmes d'évaluation scolaire en Suisse romande. Les différentes contributions sont regroupées en deux parties. Dans la première, après un regard historicocritique des innovations, une analyse detaillée de leur mise en oeuvre dans les cantons de Berne, Genève et Vaud, qui ont engagé les changements les plus ambitieux, est développée. Elle se termine par une mise en perspective des nouveaux chantiers de réformes scolaires entrepris au niveau suisse. La deuxième partie porte, de manière plus ciblée, sur quatre aspects majeurs de changements de pratiques : l'évaluation des compétences, les épreuves externes, les relations famille-école et le dossier d'évaluation. Enfin, une synthèse des contributions et une discussion concluent l'ouvrage. Les problématiques présentes et futures, liées aux réformes de l'évaluation scolaire, ainsi que la place de l'expertise pédagogique, sont mises en débat.Ce bilan des innovations engagées en Suisse romande trouvera écho dans de nombreux autres pays traversés par les mêmes mouvements de réforme de l'évaluation scolaire. 264 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Les groupes de sociétés connaissent des régimes fort distincts en droits matériels français et allemand. C'est sans doute la raison pour laquelle la question du traitement de ces groupes en droit international privé n'a pas reçu jusqu'à présent une réponse systématique.Le présent ouvrage se propose d'y remédier en adoptant une approche comparative. Il décrit et analyse les réglementations matérielles relatives aux groupes de sociétés en droits français et allemand pour ensuite en dégager une théorie globale de droit international privé en la matière.Pour ce faire, l'ensemble des mécanismes français, allemands et européens de création, de fonctionnement et de disparition des groupes de sociétés est examiné à la lumière du droit international privé. Dans ce cadre, la jurisprudence communautaire relative à la liberté d'établissement ainsi que celle relative à l'application aux groupes de sociétés du Règlement 1346/2000 font l'objet d'une analyse critique. Une vision renouvelée du groupe international de sociétés en droit international privé et en droit européen est alors proposée. 695 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Der Autor befasst sich mit der Frage, ob Hinauskündigungsklauseln im Gesellschaftsvertrag vereinbart werden können und wo die Grenze der Vertragsgestaltungsfreiheit verläuft. Besonders umstritten sind Vertragsklauseln, die den Ausschluss eines Gesellschafters weder an sachliche noch an sonstige relevante Gründe knüpfen, sondern diesen in das freie Ermessen einzelner oder aller übrigen Gesellschafter stellen. Die derzeitige Rechtsprechung des BGH hält solche Hinauskündigungsklauseln nach freiem Ermessen grundsätzlich für sittenwidrig, es sei denn, dass außergewöhnliche Umstände dies sachlich rechtfertigen würden. Der Autor unterzieht diese Rechtsprechung einer kritischen Prüfung. Hierbei differenziert er zwischen einem gleichen und einem ungleichen Hinauskündigungsrecht. Er kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Hinauskündigungsklauseln sittengemäß und damit wirksam sind. Anschließend untersucht er vergleichbare Gestaltungen aus dem Venture-Kapitalbereich, wie Russian Roulette-, Texan Shoot Out- und Drag-along-Klauseln auf ihre Vereinbarkeit mit deutschem Recht. Am Schluss der Arbeit zeigt der Autor für die Praxis Formulierungsvorschläge für die besprochenen Vertragsklauseln auf. 168 pp. Deutsch.

Art. 138 Abs. 2 WRV normierte Kirchengutsgarantie bildet. Das Grundgesetz hat keine eigenen kirchenrechtlichen Regelungen getroffen, sondern die der Weimarer Reichsverfassung inkorporiert. Aufgezeigt wird daher nicht nur, welcher Schutzgehalt Art. 138 Abs. 2 WRV im veränderten verfassungsrechtlichen Gefüge zukommt, sondern auch das Verhzukommt, sondern auch das Verhältnis zur Eigentumsgarantie in Art. 14 GG. Dazu werden verfassungsgeschichtliche Hintergründe sowie die unterschiedlichen Auffassungen in Rechtsprechung und Literatur erörtert. Schließlich werden Grundlagen für eine Enteignung und die Vorgehensweise für eine Entschädigung aufgezeigt. 169 pp. Deutsch.
