Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Based on four years of experience teaching computers to 8-12 year olds, media scholar Ellen Seiter offers parents and educators practical advice on what children need to know about the Internet and when they need to know it. The Internet Playground argues that, contrary to the promises of technology boosters, teaching with computers is very difficult. Seiter points out that the Internet today resembles a mall more than it does a library. While children love to play online games, join fan communities, and use online chat and instant messaging, the Internet is also an appallingly aggressive marketer to children and, as this book passionately argues, an educational boondoggle. 121 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Popular culture can no longer be exclusively seen as a source of escapism. It can amuse, entertain, instruct, and relax people, but what if it provides inspiration for religion The Church of All Worlds, the Church of Satan and Jediism from the Star Wars series are but three examples of new religious groups that have been greatly inspired by popular culture to (re)create a religious message. These are hyper-real religions, that is a simulacrum of a religion partly created out of popular culture which provides inspiration for believers/consumers. These postmodern expressions of religion are likely to be consumed and individualised, and thus have more relevance to the self than to a community and/or congregation. On the other hand, religious fundamentalist groups tend, at times, to resist this synergy between popular culture and religion, and at other times, re-appropriate popular culture to promote their own religion. Examples of this re-appropriation are Christian super-hero comics and role playing games, Bible-based PC games, and 'White Metal' music.To explore these new phenomena, this book views itself as the 'hyper-real testament' of these new religious phenomena by addressing the theories, among many others, of Baudrillard, Jameson and Lipovetsky, and by exploring the use of fictions such as those from Harry Potter , The Matrix , Star Trek , Buffy and The Lord of the Rings . 182 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Hip Hop in American Cinema examines the manner in which American feature films have served as the primary medium for mainstreaming hip hop culture into American society. With their glamorizing portrayals of graffiti writing, break dancing, rap music, clothing, and language, Hollywood movies have established hip hop as a desirable youth movement. This book demonstrates how Hollywood studios and producers have exploited the profitable connection among rappers, soundtracks, and mass audiences. Hip Hop in American Cinema offers valuable information for courses in film studies, popular culture, and American studies. 191 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The establishment of the new dispute settlement system in 1995 is undoubtedly one of the major achievements of the WTO compared to the GATT. However, there are still areas that need improvement. This study focuses on one of the controversial reform issues: the participation of non-state actors in WTO dispute settlement, in particular through submission of amicus curiae briefs. This book outlines the legal bases for such forms of participation, the pertinent practice of WTO panels and its Appellate Body and gives an assessment of the positions that WTO Member States hold on this issue. Important policy considerations surrounding this topic are also analyzed. Further the study provides a comparative analysis of non-state actor participation in international investment arbitration. 210 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book offers a reconceptualisation of indigenous people and their political involvement. It demonstrates the deep intertwining of constructions of indigenousness and identity with national, social and political histories and argues that differences and fractures within the indigenous movement - between leaders, spokespeople and ordinary men and women - shape the nature of indigenous politics both nationally and internationally. South Africa's resident population of Griqua provide the context for this exploration of indigenous mobilisation, politics and ethnic identity. The Griqua people have long sought, and only recently acquired, official recognition within their country of birth. Using qualitative research methodologies and an anthropological approach, this book documents negotiation between Griqua leaders, organisers and government officials and, in so doing, details a complex process of mediation and interaction generally overlooked in the discourse of indigenous identity. This exploration of identity is essential to understanding post-apartheid South African history, politics and society. In addressing the marginalisation of Griqua followers and examining the meaning of being Griqua for those 'quieter', poorer people who live in the small town of Griquatown, and who are relatively isolated from the Indigenous People's Forum and the United Nations, the book also examines the 'hidden' dimensions of political and indigenous mobilisation. 256 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 2006, Schoenberg, Wittgenstein, and the Vienna Circle received a Lewis Lockwood Award (Finalist) from the American Musicological Society, for outstanding new books on musicological topics. This study examines relativistic aspects of Arnold Schoenberg's harmonic and aesthetic theories in the light of a framework of ideas presented in the early writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein, the logician, philosopher of language, and Schoenberg's contemporary and Austrian compatriot. The author has identified correspondences between the writings of Schoenberg, the early Wittgenstein (the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, in particular), and the Vienna Circle of philosophers, on a wide range of topics and themes. Issues discussed include the nature and limits of language, musical universals, theoretical conventionalism, word-to-world correspondence in language, the need for a fact- and comparison-based approach to art criticism, and the nature of music-theoretical formalism and mathematical modeling. Schoenberg and Wittgenstein are shown to have shared a vision that is remarkable for its uniformity and balance, one that points toward the reconciliation of the positivist/relativist dualism that has dominated recent discourse in music theory. Contrary to earlier accounts of Schoenberg's harmonic and aesthetic relativism, this study identifies a solid epistemological core underlying his thought, a view that was very much in step with Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle, and thereby with the most vigorous and pivotal developments in early twentieth century intellectual history. 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Who wrote the High Dutch Minerva And why This work seeks to disprove the reasons offered by scholars for the emergence of the first German grammar for the English, the High Dutch Minerva (1680), by considering biographical material on the author, Martin Aedler (1643-1724), placing the author and his work in their German and English social contexts. It argues that Aedler, a lecturer in Hebrew, published his grammar for the use of the English intellectual elite, but did so to satisfy the patriotic imperatives of members of the German language societies and their desire to legitimate the German language for a new audience; Aedler does this through the use of universal grammar. Included is an edition of his correspondence which sheds light on the teaching of Hebrew at Cambridge. 318 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Globalization facilitates China's emergence and places Taiwan economy under China's influence. Empirical data confirm that Taiwan's structural weakness compromises its autonomy. Sino-US economic interdependence confines the US from adopting any strategy to protect Taiwan's autonomy. China is the largest recipient of Taiwanese investment. Flow-on effects determine China's indispensability to Taiwan. Yet, in fear of losing its autonomy to China, Taiwan tries to control the cross-Strait economic exchanges but fails. As Taiwan seeks for independence but China insists on unification, the ideological fight between the two sides is a zero-sum game. The US involvement maintains the cross-Strait status quo, but China's rise will disrupt the balance. Without political concessions, Taiwan will always live under the Chinese threat. Yet, if the US adopts a Trojan-Horse Strategy, Taiwan will have a chance to oversee China's development. 314 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Personal Being: Polanyi, Ontology, and Christian Theology contributes to Michael Polanyi studies, to the conversation between philosophy and theology, and to the contemporary renaissance in trinitarian theology. The author begins by elaborating the ontology implied by Polanyi's theory of personal knowledge and argues that personhood is a fundamental category for understanding reality. He then explores the reception of Polanyi's philosophy in theological studies and outlines a method responsive to interdisciplinary dialogue. Finally, he employs a Polanyian model of personhood to examine the doctrine of the Trinity and suggests that this effort anticipates the development of a personalistic Christian cosmology. 234 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -¿Qué es la intensificación , ¿cómo se reconoce en la lengua Este libro pretente responder a estas preguntas desde una perspectiva comunicativa. Su comportamiento en la lengua invita a caracterizarla como una categoría pragmática empleada por los hablantes con una finalidad estratégica. Aunque tiene que ver con los fenómenos de énfasis, cuantificación o expresividad, la intensificación no se puede identificar con ellos. Los trabajos sobre el tema han incidido generalmente en su valor semántico y en sus efectos retóricos. Sin prescindir de tales aportaciones, pero dando un paso más en su descripción, se ofrece una propuesta de explicación en tres niveles de estudio: su codificación, su propósito comunicativo y su repercusión a nivel social. Las conclusiones teóricas presentadas se basan en el análisis de un corpus oral de conversaciones coloquiales del español pensinular (Val.Es.Co.). A partir de este corpus también se ha trazado una clasificación, ejemplificada, de diversas formas y procedimientos lingüísticos que favorecen la comunicación de intensificación. Este estudio defiende, en síntesis, que la intensificación constituye, junto con la atenuación, una estrategia de negociación comunicativa y de refuerzo argumentativo al servicio de los hablantes. 242 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the biggest debates in Australian Indigenous education today revolves around the many contested and competing ways of knowledge about Indigenous cultures and the means by which Indigenous intellectual traditions and knowledges make the journey into mainstream educational settings. Grounded in Bakhtin's theories of dialogue and voice, this book explores the polyphonic nature of power relations, performance roles and pedagogical texts in the context of teaching and learning Indigenous Australian women's music and dance. In this discussion, the author focuses on her experiences as a lecturer in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit at the University of Queensland and her involvement in this educational setting with students and guest lecturers/performers. The performance classroom is examined as a potential site for disturbing and dislocating dominant modes of representation of Indigenous women's performance through the construction, mediation and negotiation of Indigenous knowledge from and between both non-Indigenous and Indigenous voices. This book contains a CD with video clips illustrating the ways in which an embodied approach to teaching and learning happens in this classroom context. 294 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Even though Elena Poniatowska is considered to be one of the most important female writers in present-day Mexico, few book-length studies have been dedicated to her work. This book focuses on the writings of Elena Poniatowska and also on the work of her former students Silvia Molina and Rosa Nissán. A brief history of the literary workshop that links the three together is also provided. Although the three writers are quite different in several respects, they share one common element that is central to their writings: the depiction of marginal members of society. With reference to Subaltern Studies this study analyses how the subaltern is represented in the works of each writer. 222 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Dilemma of Modernity is a study of the evolution of Ramón Gómez de la Serna's narrative fiction within the context of European Modernism. At a time when Joyce, Kafka, Proust, and Woolfe were experimenting with prose fiction, very little is known about Spain's contribution to the novel. Despite his years in Paris, when it was still considered the cultural capital of Europe, and his championing of the avant-garde in Spain in the 1920s through his literary salon Pombo, which attracted figures such as Borges, Picasso, Huidobro, Buñuel and Lorca, Ramón Gómez de la Serna's work has suffered from critical neglect. The Dilemma of Modernity sets Gómez de la Serna's work within the cultural and historical context of the time and traces his evolution from aesthete to promoter of the avant-garde, modernist, and existentialist. 193 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book documents and analyses changes to the immigration policy in Germany from Reunification in 1990 until 2005. Immigration policy is defined as a question of definition and redefinition of the boundaries of the national political community. The analysis shows that the concept of national political community was both disputed and reformulated in this political process. All the parties reformulated their arguments in a parallel fashion around the same time. This reformulation was not a one-dimensional or a purely linear process from an 'ethnos' to a 'demos' mode of thinking. By the end of this period, rights-based arguments had been combined with an increased emphasis on an immigrant's duty to accept both the central values of the German political system and the national cultural values. The main pattern of change demonstrates a shift from an ethnic understanding of national political community towards one that combines rights and cultural values. 322 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book contains discussions of a broad range of theoretical issues of metonymy, such as cognitive models, semantic representations, and the links with conceptual metaphors. It provides recent analyses of the phenomenon in such fields as grammar, lexical semantics, pragmatics, semiotics, as well as literature. The individual papers concentrate on the operation of single and multiple metonymies in modality, conditionals, compounding, and concept formation - both from a synchronic and diachronic perspective. Aphasia, Creole languages, novels by Terry Pratchett and creole Laurence Sterne are only some of the areas in which the presence of metonymy is discussed. 366 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study is an imagological analysis of Dutch immigrants in the United States, giving insights into stereotyping, identity formation, and the marketing of ethnicity. Tracing Dutch-American literary images through four centuries of writing in America, the study emphasizes the continuity of Dutch-American history. The assessment of images in their socio-cultural context reveals the disparity between literary and socio-cultural perception, the latter of which often evokes Dutch ethnicity in the United States as a mere means to an end. While the study ascertains which images of Dutch Americans have dominated public perception, it also investigates the origins of such images, their persistence irrespective of time and location, and the reasons for their fluctuating interpretations. 354 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Comment agir face à la précarité sociale et aux inégalités Comment répondre aux situations de vulnérabilité Responsabilité, participation, autonomie, écoute, tels sont aujourd'hui les axes qui orientent certaines politiques publiques, en particulier les politiques sociales et de santé. S'agit-il d'un tournant ' subjectiviste ' dans le traitement de la nouvelle question sociale Que devient l'État social Ce livre propose au lecteur une exploration des modes d'action actuels de l'État face au VIH/sida en Belgique. Il s'agit d'une étude originale, se basant sur des entretiens auprès d'associations de terrain actives dans plusieurs domaines (prostitution, homosexualité, réduction de risques, migration) et sur des observations pour mieux saisir le politique ' de l'intérieur ', ses manières de faire et de dire. Il en ressort une action publique qui agit avec les moyens du bord, dont les équipements visent l'autonomie des usagers mais en étant marqués par la fragilité, et dont les dispositifs se veulent participatifs mais en étant aussi expérimentaux, hésitants, tâtonnants.Ce livre ne s'inscrit pas dans une perspective de sociologie critique, mais plutôt dans une approche pragmatique, de l'action publique, attentive aux formes de la coordination et aux objets de prévention du VIH/sida. 265 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is it like to be a master of the universe The authors have researched the desires and fears of the world's most powerful men. The Murdochs, Packers, Kennedys, Agnellis and other men like them, directly determine the fates of thousands and influence the future of the world like no other people. Described as 'sacred monsters' by one of their own, they are carefully created to be what they are and to enjoy shaping the world in their own likeness. To learn about these often reclusive men, the authors extended the life-history technique to interrogate autobiographies, diaries and biographies and have created a composite picture, a collective portrait, of tycoons over three generations. The book carefully explores the childhoods, schooling, work and play, sexual activities, marriages and deaths of the wealthiest men who have ever lived. It exposes the nature of ruling-class masculinity itself. 276 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Winner of the Association for Business Communication Award for Distinguished Publication on Business Communication. This book explores multiparty, multicultural interaction at international business meetings. It investigates discourse at an Italian company's meetings of its international distributors, conducted mainly in English and attended by participants from different countries in Europe, Asia and North America. Data come from audio recordings of the meetings, normally lasting two to three days, and are supplemented by the author's observations of the meetings. The study uses a series of approaches to analyze selected linguistic and interactional features, presenting an in-depth analysis and discussion of data extracts that draws on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. It highlights the way the main company speaker and some of the multilingual participants use discursive strategies to build common ground, to construct a cooperative business relationship or to negotiate or avert conflict. The study questions the role of cultural differences in approaching multicultural, multilingual meetings and argues that organizational roles, the business context and individual differences must also be considered. 350 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Historia, intrahistoria y compromiso social en siete poetas hispánicos es un análisis critico-social de la obra parcial de siete poetas hispánicos, que con diferentes maneras de su expresión lirica señalan el dolor, la injusticia, la descriminación y la tragedia de sendos grupos sociales. Manuel Antonio Arango L analiza la historia y la intrahistoria a fin de profundizar en el estudio del contexto social en los seres marginados en el marco de la sociedad española y de la América Hispana. Arango L señala cuidadosamente el fondo poético de los siete poetas para demostrar que ellos quisieran hacerse partícipes del dolor en los seres marginados y señalar el desconcierto en la inmensidad del universo, perdido en una sociedad inmutable, llena de dolor y de muerte. De esta manera el autor del presente libro es un claro ejemplo del esfuerzo por estudiar y profundizar el contexto en la poesía social en España y de la América Hispana, a través de la obra poética de Rubén Dario, Federico García Lorca, Nicolás Guillén, Manuel del Cabral, Palés Matos, César Vallejo y Pablo Neruda. 130 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le 1 er octobre 1990, le retour armé des anciens réfugiés rwandais réunis au sein du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR) marque l'entrée en guerre du Rwanda. Une sale guerre, au cours de laquelle la France sera militairement présente, et qui trouve son épilogue en juillet 1994 à la faveur de la victoire du FPR. Entre-temps, la guerre d'usure menée par le FPR, les manipulations de l'ethnicité orchestrées par le régime Habyarimana, la stratégie du chaos poursuivie par les faucons des deux bords, et surtout le génocide perpétré par les extrémistes hutu, ont causé la mort de plus d'un million de personnes.Le propos de cet ouvrage est de décrire, d'analyser et d'expliquer le processus de prise de décision ayant conduit le président Mitterrand à engager l'armée française au Rwanda entre 1990 et 1994. L'étude menée ici récuse, avec rigueur scientifique, à la fois ceux qui encensent la politique de la France et ceux qui la condamnent sans discernement et évoquent une ' complicité ' de la République française dans le génocide. De toute évidence, entre les conclusions de la Mission d'information et celles des censeurs, exégètes et autres sycophantes de la politique africaine de la France, les divergences d'analyse sont d'envergure. Il importe donc de les décrypter pour en apprécier la pertinence. Quelles étaient les motivations réelles de la présence française au Rwanda Au-delà du constat d'échec de cette politique rwandaise, quels facteurs ont contribué in fine à ruiner les effets de la politique prônée par François Mitterrand Quel crédit enfin accorder aux accusations de ' complicité de génocide ' proférées à l'encontre des soldats de l'opération Turquoise La France serait-elle ' la seule nation coupable parmi les nations saintes et pures ' 540 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -C'est dans un même mouvement que se mettent en place, en Suisse comme dans maints Etats occidentaux, les systèmes scolaires modernes, un réseau dense de professionnels de l'éducation et un nouveau champ disciplinaire ayant pour objet les phénomènes éducatifs. Alors que le paysage des hautes écoles se redéfinit et que les sciences sociales s'institutionnalisent, on assiste au tournant des 19 e et 20 e siècles, à l'émergence des sciences de l'éducation comme nouvelle discipline académique. Elles conquièrent non sans controverses leurs assises universitaires durant le 20 e siècle, moyennant cours, diplômes, chaires, laboratoires, instituts, réseaux de communication. Fondé sur l'analyse de volumineuses archives, cet ouvrage, pionnier en la matière, retrace les premiers développements des sciences de l'éducation dans tous les sites significatifs helvétiques. A la confluence de traditions académiques diverses, la Suisse constitue un laboratoire pour dégager des configurations contrastées en fonction des contextes historiques et culturels. L'enquête met en évidence les puissantes tensions qui accompagnent l'institutionnalisation de cette discipline constitutivement pluridisciplinaire: entre professions éducatives et champ disciplinaire, entre militance réformiste et engagement scientifique, entre inscriptions locales et visées internationales sinon universalisantes. Champ disciplinaire indiscipliné, les sciences de l'éducation constituent un prototype à travers lequel peuvent s'étudier à la loupe des modalités de production de connaissances en osmose avec le contexte social dans lequel il s'inscrit et qu'il influence. 548 pp. Französisch.
