Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Africa, at the close of the twentieth century, has witnessed a tremendous amount of social, economic, and political transformation. By tackling the issues of political instability, democratization, and economic development, this book goes to the heart of the African conundrum and makes an invaluable contribution to Africa's development. Written by Africans, it offers a much needed 'African perspective' that is often lacking in most development literature. African authors are not so encumbered by 'political correctness' or 'racial sensitivity' and can write more candidly on events as they see them. The book constitutes a long-awaited break with orthodoxy and makes a pioneering effort to tackle issues traditionally spurned by experts because of their rigid separation of economic development and politics. The writers offer constructive solutions to Africa's problems - solutions which only Africans would dare to suggest. 388 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Thomas Jefferson's ideas on education evolved over sixty years - from his adolescent years at The College of William and Mary, through the Revolution and election of 1800, to his death in 1826. In 1776, he saw public education as the cornerstone of Virginia's revolution and hoped it would help destroy aristocratic and denominational privilege, create opportunities based on merit, foster humanism and encourage the political awareness necessary for a republican society. Though limited to white males, public education was a progressive idea for its time. All his bills failed. Even though Jefferson's own machinations stymied bills for a statewide system in the 1810s, the 'hobby of his old age', the University of Virginia, opened in 1825 . Jefferson's Vision for Education, 1760-1845 examines why Jefferson subverted the democratic spirit of his early plans, and how well other political and religious dimensions of his vision materialized at the University of Virginia during its first twenty years. 254 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La vie professionnelle de Jean Herbette se confond avec les relations intereuropéennes de trois décennies du XX e siècle. De 1907 à 1937, comme journaliste spécialiste de politique étrangère puis comme ambassadeur de France, il a été un observateur et un acteur de la diplomatie. Les recherches qui ont abouti à ce livre ont tenté de définir dans quelle mesure et de quelles manières il a pu l'influencer.La vision des relations internationales qui détermine l'analyse et l'action de Jean Herbette est tout entière dominée par le souci exclusif de l'intérêt de la France. La période de la Grande Guerre et du règlement de la paix est à cet égard tout à fait significative. D'où, l'engagement du journaliste pour la reconnaissance de la Russie soviétique malgré son antibolchevisme; d'où, la proposition de l'ambassadeur en Espagne de reconnaître le général Franco après avoir soutenu pendant cinq ans la gauche républicaine espagnole.Ce pragmatisme, poussé jusqu'à l'abandon de certains principes, et sa conséquence logique - son rappel d'Espagne en 1937 - ont contribué à maintenir Jean Herbette dans les zones d'ombre de l'histoire diplomatique.L'en faire sortir, c'est éclairer d'un nouveau jour les grandes questions internationales et la politique étrangère de la France de l'Entre-deux-guerres. C'est aussi faire connaissance avec un homme dont le parcours atypique, les relations et la personnalité si singulière font un personnage d'histoires en même temps qu'un acteur de l'histoire. 428 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Building on the nexus between philanthropy and government that emerged during the late 1920s, American foundations played a significant role in developing American-European cultural relations. They shaped the interaction between government and private agencies; they acted as catalysts of social change; they served as 'global' bridges between East and West; and they stimulated political, intellectual and economic elites to co-operate with one another, in both national and international contexts. This volume assembles the contributions of an international conference held at Amalfi in 2001. The authors explore emerging connections between the history of international relations, the history of scholarship, and the history of philanthropy. Their work focuses on the role of the larger American foundations in Europe during the 20th century, and explores the ways in which the foundations worked - across countries and cultures, and throughÿ- across countries and cultures, and through bi-lateral, trans-national and international projects and programmes. 227 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is an analysis and study of postmodernism, political theatre, and the politics of representation. Traversing a wide span of twentieth-century political theatre and performance practices in the West, the author analyses and questions the performance practices of the historical and neo-avant-gardes, modernist political theatre, and postmodern performance in order to explore the relationships between politics, performance and postmodernism. Chinna contends that it is the provisional and contingent strategies of performance which set the model for the postmodern. Drawing on the poststructuralist theories of Jean-Francois Lyotard and Jacques Derrida, among others, the postmodern is defined as a performance model - like deconstruction, endlessly deferring unequivocal meaning and final closure. It is argued that historical avant-garde performance practices such as Dada, as well as the neo-avant-gardes from the 1950s onward, were always trapped within a dialectic of representation and the 'real' in their quest for a merging of art and life. 226 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As the young editor of the New York based Deutsches Volksecho, Stefan Heym had to reconcile his responsibility as a journalist with his personal animosity towards the Nazi State and the disillusionment felt by exiles during the Great Depression. The result of this reconciliation, which drew upon his experience as a writer in pre World War II Germany and the democratic ideals of his newly adopted country, was a philosophy of democracy, citizenship and public debate that guided Heym's literary and political activities through the rest of his life. Identifying this philosophy as a precursor to Habermas' theory of the public sphere, The Democratic Dream traces the development of Heym's beliefs through his writings at the Deutsches Volksecho and its further evolution through Heym's early American novels: Hostages, The Crusaders and Goldsborough. 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the semantic properties of verbs expressing human locomotion and investigates their sense relations in German and English diachronically. For this purpose a model was developed which is related to revised versions of Lutzeier (1981) by linking it with a context-dependent analysis, hence combining a paradigmatic with a syntagmatic approach. Within this approach the influence of contexts on verbs is investigated, and it is illustrated to what extent syntagmatic constraints play a part in establishing features in verbs. Semantic changes holding between members of this lexical field are shown in tables and diagrams. A comparison of morphologically related verbs is conducted, and qualitative and quantitative differences in the lexical representation of meaning concepts are analysed. In addition, it is demonstrated what notions are lexicalised in each linguistic period. 268 pp. Englisch.

Das Buch, 1955 auf deutsch unter dem Titel Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft erschienen, erlebte eine Erfolgsgeschichte, die ihm immer wieder öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit bescherte. Das fünfzigjährige Jubiläum wurde zum Anlass dreier Konferenzen (in New York, Berlin und Oldenburg), auf denen sich namhafte Wissenschaftler und Politiker mit dem Werk und seiner Wirkungsgeschichte befassten. In diesem Band sind wichtige Ergebnisse dieser Debatten, die sehr unterschiedliche Zugangsweisen zum Werk suchen, dokumentiert. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Selbstzerstörung und Regeneration in der modernen Demokratie. 236 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many minority languages like Irish have tended to survive best in isolated areas while their use has been restricted primarily to domestic, educational and social domains. This has had a negative effect on the development of these languages, especially with regard to new terminology. However, the increasing availability of audiovisual material, dubbed into these languages, is now opening up exciting new ways of providing linguistic stimulation to scattered communities of minority language speakers. Since it is the younger generation that must carry a language into the future, this study investigates the dubbing into a minority language of television animation for children and examines the influence of various constraints on the screen translation process with regard to the major/minority language pair (German into Irish), the translation method (dubbing) and the target audience (children). Although the examples used are selected from a German series, Janoschs Traumstunde, and the corresponding Irish version, they are glossed in English so it is not necessary for the reader to know either German or Irish. It is hoped that this work will contribute to a better understanding of issues relating to dubbing and to changes in minority and major language screen translator training and practice. 212 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This detailed work in Greek linguistics argues that the semantic category of synthetic verbal aspect provides a suggestive and workable linguistic model for explaining the range of uses of the tense-forms in Greek. The author addresses in particular those studying the hellenistic Greek of the New Testament, although those interested in Greek language from other periods, and in systemic linguistics and more general questions related to the study of ancient languages will benefit as well. This book will serve both as a textbook for advanced language classes, and as a reference tool for Greek language research. 584 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dmitrii Pisarev (1840-1868) was the leader of a cohort of Russian radicals known as the Nihilists and was Russia's most visible literary critic for most of the 1860s. During this pivotal decade in the history of Russian culture Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Turgenev published much of their most important fiction, and Russian radicalism itself evolved from a handful of isolated circles into a full-fledged revolutionary movement. The Nihilist Imagination , the first English-language book devoted to this influential nineteenth-century intellectual, explores the convergence between historic developments in literature and politics as well as the ways young contemporary readers approached novels such as Turgenev's Fathers and Sons when they were first published, the evolution of Russian radicalism during one of its critical phases, and the perceptions of government officials and members of educated society of this emerging radical threat. Rather than a biography, this book is a series of essays on the theme of Russian literary and political Nihilism, structured around the analysis of Pisarev's writings, their intellectual sources, and their influence. 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Rising influence of cognitive sciences on linguistics has been observed recently. This work aims at pointing out which role cognitive effort may play in natural language processing. From a pragmatic perspective various approaches to a plausible definition of cognitive effort are presented. Some introductory sections to pragmatics lead to a discussion on relevance theory. Also, a variety of markedness concepts are introduced. These are examined in regard to their utility for the description of context understood as a psychological construct. Finally, a natural language processing model is used to describe cognitive effort in the light of divers learning models. 248 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent years there has been growing interest in the concepts of pictorial vividness ('enargeia') and pictorial description ('ekphrasis') in the works of ancient writers. Colour imagery can play a significant part in such pictorial effects. This book explores the visual and stylistic contributions that words for colour and shining make to the poetry of Catullus, Propertius, and Horace. First, the instances of colour usage by the three poets are analyzed and compared with the colour imagery of other ancient poets and artists. 'Colour readings' of selected poems follow, illustrating how colours are employed by these poets to heighten the visual impact of their poems and influence the reader's emotional responses. This book fills a gap in the scholarship on colour in ancient poetry and provides fresh perspectives on the work of three important poets. 354 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Narrative Identities examines how Latin American, Caribbean, Chicano/a, African American and Native American writers re-negotiate individual and collective identity within, between and beyond geographic, temporal, racial, ethnic, gender-related, spiritual, and psychological border(land)s. The author traces what is at stake when individuals dwell in in-betweenness and how these individuals cope with moving between borders, when identity-based forms of oppression, such as (neo)colonialism, racism, and sexism, deny or delimit the negotiation and comprehension of identity's meanings. The book explores cultural in-betweenness in both local and global contexts as one of the principal characteristics shared by Pan-American writers and measures cultural differences and similarities in the Americas against each other. It draws the map of a different cultural consensus in the Americas and opens the space for a new vision of Inter-American literary relations and criticism. 397 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -To revolutionary Caribbean artists who support liberation struggles, their works are 'miraculous weapons', in Aimé Césaire's poetic words. Pan-Caribbean and interdisciplinary in scope, this unique and original book analyzes a heterogeneous body of progressive texts: novels, poetry, visual art, and music, as well as the form that assembles them all - the Caribbean Carnival. By exploring the social, political, intellectual, and cultural complexity of the Caribbean, Joy A. I. Mahabir presents a new and compelling perspective on Caribbean studies that responds to and challenges recent work in this field. 167 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Du XVIII e siècle jusqu'à la création de l'Euro, Inventer l'Europe propose un remarquable voyage au coeur des milieux, groupes de pression et personnalités d'influence en faveur de l'unité européenne.Ainsi, les Physiocrates ou Alexandre I er ont-ils des projets d'une modernité étonnante, comme le marché unique. Les milieux industriels allemands et français, les économistes, les milieux genevois agissent pour l'unité de l'Europe entre les deux guerres, tandis que des personnalités encore mal connues - Hennessy, Rohan, Pusta, De Jouvenel, Retinger, Ripka, voire les communistes des Balkans en 1945 ou A. Marc - tentent de rendre possible l'unité de l'Europe. Des groupes d'influence, groupes transatlantiques et américains, franc-maçonnerie, presse d'opinion et Églises modifient les options des décideurs. Les 'européens' des partis politiques, comme le parti socialiste, ceux de l'entourage de François Mitterrand, les amis d'Altiero Spinelli au Parlement européen, les proches de Valéry Giscard d'Estaing exercent une influence sur les événements, les atlantistes, bien introduits, tout autant. Ces personnalités et ces mouvements sont l'expression de forces profondes qui transforment nos sociétés. Des représentants d'ONG européennes et des personnalités du monde politique, des diplomates ont apporté un témoignage de prix sur le renouvellement actuel du processus d'unité européenne.L'invention de l'Europe communautaire n'est donc pas réservée aux personnages d'exception, mais résulte de l'action de forces présentes au sein des nations européennes. Ce livre combat l'euroscepticisme car il met en scène l'urgence historique de rassembler les peuples d'Europe et les profondes racines de l'appel à l'unité des Européens. 524 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, the German history of The Merchant of Venice highlights the Central European detour that Shakespearean reception underwent in Hebrew and Yiddish. Such a detour, with its various discomforts, is used to penetrate a current historical and political historiography, rendering Shylock a character that remembers various languages and locations, as well as multiple alternatives for political self-definition. This complex Shakespearean character speaks in many voices and for various purposes and is the only character that can provide the missing link between two contradictory Jewish stereotypes - a persecuted and victimized underling and a merciless and violent plaintive, holding out his knife to draw blood. 247 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has been awarded the George Duncan Memorial Award 2005. This book examines homosexual rights as human rights in the light of recent insights of cultural theory into identity, cultural values, rights discourse and homosexuality. The focus of the study is on the activist who is regarded as both the representative of perspectives, actions and attitudes as well as the embodiment of tensions and broader struggles that reflect and rupture dominant discourses of power. The book interrogates the homosexual activist and the theory and practice of human rights in three distinct nations: Indonesia, Singapore and Australia. It discusses and analyses the ways in which activists in these three polities devise strategies of survival and negotiate the limits of justice. The interface between Australia and Southeast Asia is a poignant context, which highlights different and overlapping (Western and Asian) perspectives on notions of rights, law, identity, activism, culture and sexuality. 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Action theory, phenomenological sociology, pragmatism and (post)structuralism are often seen as mutually exclusive currents of meaning analysis. This book shows that these traditions are actually complementary, and builds a neostructuralist synthesis on this finding. It also outlines the implications of this cultural theoretical synthesis for the field of social theory. What emerges is a variant of the theory of practice, habit and structuration of society. It shares the contemporary common belief that social theory should be based on cultural theory. Its distinctive mark is that this is done in systematic semiotic terms within a conception which provides mediation between the two most influential schools of semiotics, namely Charles Peirce's American pragmatism and Ferdinand de Saussure's French structuralism. 390 pp. Englisch.

It begins with God's creation of the world and its ultimate goal is the Kingdom of God in this world. The city of Jerusalem and the cooperation between supporters of the monotheistic religions i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam have a significant position in Ben-Chorin's theology in realising the Kingdom of God. The present study also brings up the philosophical and theological prerequisites for Ben-Chorin's concept of revelation, describes how Ben-Chorin interprets the Biblia Hebraica and furthermore, what-kind of task of witnessing the Jews have for the whole world. 350 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book discusses the concepts of authorship, translation, and plagiarism in literature and philosophy from 1750 to 1850, offering detailed readings of Young, Goethe, Poe, and Baudelaire in the context of contemporary and current debates about literary theory and criticism. Originality, translation, and plagiarism have played an important role in the cultural construction of authorship. While originality provided the basis for a modern concept of aesthetics and intellectual property, the 18th-century relegated translation to a secondary role in the transmission of literature and knowledge. Plagiarism underwent an even more radical reassessment with the advent of the figure of the original genius and the call for copyright protection. Drawing on current discussions the study investigates how the relationship between texts undermines Romantic notions of authorship and originality. Language and the act of writing are always some form of joint ventures. 338 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Is there a relationship between the suffering people of today and the crucified Jesus of Nazareth Jon Sobrino claims that there is an intimate relation. The crucified Jesus Christ is present in the hardships of poor and excluded people. Solidarity with 'the crucified people' in their struggle for justice and dignity is therefore necessary for grasping the salvific significance of Jesus' life and death. It is only possible to participate in this salvific reality in our time through the crucified people. The 'crucified in history' paradoxically bring salvation, like the crucified Jesus. These are remarkable theological claims. They represent the most daring and novel aspects of christological and soteriological reflection in Latin American liberation theology. This book critically explores what relevance these claims may have to a wider social and theological context. The possible limitations of this 'theology of the crucified people' are thoroughly scrutinised, and its suggestive potential further elaborated. Far from seeing theologies in a liberationist mode as outdated in a globalised age, the author shows through his study of Sobrino's Christology in what ways such an approach represents a profound renewal of Christian theology in the third millennium both with regard to its contents and to its fundamental method. 640 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sémiologue, critique, essayiste, théoricien, écrivain, intellectuel, romancier En installant d'emblée sa parole au coeur vertigineux de l'écriture, Roland Barthes est peut-être l'un de ceux qui auront le plus contribué à périmer ces distinctions. S'il convient pourtant d'envisager ses écrits comme un dispostif fictionnel, et si l'on peut légitimement reconnaître en Barthes avant tout la figure d'un écrivain, c'est à la condition de restituer sa pratique littéraire dans le cadre éthique qui la porte. Que ses propres écrits nous obligent à formuler une nouvelle entente de la responsabilité du texte, telle est l'intuition de départ qui a pu motiver cette étude. 175 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling est l'une des figures les plus marquantes de la pensée ésotérique chrétienne en Allemagne à la fin du XVIII e siècle. Cet ami de Goethe, regardé par ses contemporains comme le Patriarche du Réveil religieux et le héraut du christianisme, nous dévoile une personnalité aux multiples facettes: il se fait un nom en littérature en publiant son autobiographie, devient spécialiste des affections oculaires; nommé professeur à l'université, il écrit des ouvrages d'économie avant de donner la plénitude de son talent dans de nombreux écrits à la gloire de la religion chrétienne. Dépassant le piétisme de son enfance, sa pensée puise aux sources d'une gnose hermétisante teintée de quiétisme, d'ésotérisme et de théosophie. Dans ce livre, l'accent est mis spécialement sur cet aspect souvent négligé de son oeuvre. Adversaire déclaré de la théologie rationalisante de l'Aufklärung, Jung-Stilling préconise un retour aux sources authentiques du christianisme biblique. Par son prophétisme apocalyptique, leitmotiv de son oeuvre, il veut 'réveiller' ses contemporains en leur offrant, au terme d'un parcours initiatique et symbolique, une véritable renaissance spirituelle. 224 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Das Problem des Wortendes in der indoeuropäischen Ursprache hat vom Standpunkt der Charakteristik des gesamten lautlichen Aufbaus der Ursprache aus eine außerordentliche Bedeutung, besonders im Zusammenhang mit der Bestimmung der Tatsache, inwieweit die Ursprache 'silbomorphemisch war'. In den letzten 60 Jahren wurden zu diesem Thema keine Forschungen durchgeführt, während in dieser Zeit die indoeuropäische historisch-vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft eine nicht geringe Anzahl von Daten über das Wortende in einzelnen Sprachen angehäuft hat. Im Zusammenhang damit kann man die in der Wissenschaft zur Verfügung stehenden Vorstellungen über eine derart wichtige Quelle für die Rekonstruktion des indoeuropäischen Wortendes, wie es die altindischen Sandhi sind, nur als unbefriedigend betrachten. 110 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cet ouvrage est bâti sur un constat: l'art monumental français du XIII e siècle - sculpture et vitrerie - étonne par son foisonnement iconographique. L'histoire du patriarche Joseph est un bon exemple de la richesse de l'imagerie gothique, domaine qui n'a, en fin de compte, hormis quelques entreprises isolées, que peu retenu l'attention des chercheurs. Certes, le personnage de Joseph a depuis les origines de l'image chrétienne intéressé les illustrateurs et, pour saisir toute la spécificité des images gothiques et de leur message intrinsèque, il a fallu recourir à l'analyse des monuments les plus divers, tant orientaux qu'occidentaux, ceci dès le IV e siècle. La confrontation de textes issus du monde chrétien, juif ou syriaque et des images, a suscité un certain nombre d'interrogations sur la transmission des schémas iconographiques, sur le contenu des messages véhiculés et en particulier, sur l'impact au XIII e siècle de la culture laïque dans l'image diffusée par les cathédrales. 624 pp. Französisch.
