Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book uses the set of relations announced by teachers' and students' readings of literary fictions as a «commonplace location» to interpret the experience of curriculum. In addition to illuminating the complexity of «schooled» readings of literature, Private Readings in Public provides insightful and provocative interpretations of the intertwined, overlapping, and ever-evolving intertextual relations that comprise events of curriculum. It will be of interest to those who wish to expand their understanding of the way in which interpretations of shared reading can become a «literary anthropology» where the identities of readers, writers, and teachers are continually re-invented during processes of reading, writing, and teaching.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 324 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -John Wild (1902-1972) was a leading American philosopher noted for his work in existentialism and phenomenology, modes of thought that focus on human consciousness and subjectivity. He made a transition to existential phenomenology after being a major proponent of realism, as well as president of the Association for Realistic Philosophy in 1949. By examining Wild's philosophical development from realism and its search for objective truth to phenomenology, the author concludes that Wild brings realistic concerns to his analysis of existential phenomenology. Moreover, Dr. Kaufman argues that Wild's realistic version of existential phenomenology becomes problematic when Wild strives to establish metaphysical conclusions about the nature of the world and Divine Transcendence from a phenomenological analysis of human existence as lived from within. The analysis of Wild's wide-ranging philosophy raises important issues in ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 238 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Sound Evidence documents the range of phonological varieties in use in Aix-en-Provence and investigates the social pressures on convergence towards the standard, such as gender-related speech differences, education, geographical and social mobility, and perhaps most importantly, linguistic and regional identity including bilingualism, the emotional ties of language and relationships of members of a regionally-homogeneous community with the way they speak, exposing language as a rich tapestry through which we reveal, or conceal, ever-changing notions of our social identity. 338 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Aus dem Geleitwort von Ursula Wirtz:«Zu einer Zeit, in der sexuelle Ausbeutung von Kindern und Jugendlichen zum Mode- und Sensationsthema der Medien degradiert und als feministische Diffamierungskampagne einer moralisierenden Frauenbewegung angeprangert wird, verkörpert dieses Buch eine sachliche und empirisch fundierte Diskussionsgrundlage.Der oft zu hörende verallgemeinernde Vorwurf, die hohe Zahl sexueller Übergriffe sei auf eine diffuse Begriffsbestimmung sexueller Ausbeutung zurückzuführen, wird in dieser Untersuchung eindeutig entkräftet.Das Buch bietet all denen, die sich auf das Thema wirklich einlassen wollen, ein breites Spektrum von Daten. Das vorgelegte Material kann für die wichtige Diskussion um präventive Aspekte und die Verankerung dieser Thematik im Aus- und Weiterbildungsbereich Wesentliches beitragen.» 294 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Understanding the nature of the 'cold war' that followed World War II is now more than ever a focus of debate. Security Metaphors starts from the premise that political and international realities are created, sustained and unraveled in discourse. The book begins by examining the conceptual underpinnings of international relations theory, and by careful linguistic analysis shows how metaphorical discourse contributed to the beginning and ending of the dangerous competition between 'East' and 'West'. It concludes not by attributing power to language, but to the hegemonic power that can best wield it. 470 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study investigates 17th century documents of itinerant European actors and puppeteers who travelled to eastern outposts of German culture on the Baltic, especially to Reval/Tallinn, Estonia. Their petitions, heritage, routes and repertory are discussed. The book is intended for Germanists, European theatre historians, Baltic German scholars, artistic directors of theatres, and the English-only reader. Centuries-old archival material appears here for the first time: itinerant players' German petitions from Reval's Archives are reproduced in photographs, transcribed and analysed. Maps, comparative data of the players, and photographs of Reval's historical buildings are included. German transcriptions and English translations of the manuscripts provide valuable additions to the documentary history of the travelling stage. Discussion of the repertory includes a rare early 18th century playbill of a troupe called Die Hochteutschen Comoedianten who visited Mitau, Reval, Dorpat, Riga, and Stockholm. Aspects of Reval's cultural history during the Swedish era are discussed, giving colourful perspective to the itinerant players' theatre and the repertory tradition. Source materials in German and other languages and a bibliography about Baltic German history and the German theatre in Europe, especially Reval, are aids for further research about this long neglected topic. The reader is directed to many sources for studies in reception history in an essay by Tallinn's Kyra Robert in Appendix I. Comprehensive indices conclude the volume. 222 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -While critics on the literature of the Vietnam War have almost exclusively focused on male authors, the contribution of American women writers has been largely ignored. In her study of novels by American women writers on the Vietnam War, the author pursues the notion of correlation between gender and genre for the ongoing discussion on the meaning of the war. The study extends from close readings of classical male texts on the war (Herr, O'Brien) to autobiographical texts by former nurses and officers' wives to novels by Joan Didion, Jayne Anne Phillips, and Bobbie Ann Mason.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 314 pp. Englisch.
