Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When something is in focus, light falls on it from different angles. The lexicon can be viewed from different sides. Six views are represented in this volume: a cognitivist view of vagueness and lexicalization, a psycholinguistic view of lexical access in speech production, a patholinguistic view of lexical organization in schizophrenics, and three analyses from different points of view in computational linguistics, which deal with problems of the syntax-semantics interface, compositionality, and systematic polysemy. A metalinguistic initial contribution outlines the historical development of lexical semantics with its complementary, competing and converging strands. The introduction completes this integration of the different facets of research into a wider picture of lexicology. 222 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -How does contemporary Irish poetry migrate from traditional conceptions of identity drawn on by the cultural nationalism of the Irish Literary Revival What effects does this have on our understanding of gendered and national identity formation Chapters of this study focus on the work of Seamus Heaney, Tom Paulin, Paul Muldoon, Medbh McGuckian, Eavan Boland and Sara Berkeley. Looking at poets from North and South of the border, the book asks how does a younger generation of writers provide a response to nationality which is significantly different from their predecessors. Exploring feminist and post-colonial theorization of identity, this study interrogates the intellectual and political agenda of a new generation of Irish poets, while calling into question the implied divisions between poetry, theory and a practical politics. 294 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ten authors from five countries present a variety of fresh analyses of the strategies Germans have adopted in coping with the Nazi past. Through historical, sociological, educational, and cultural approaches the unresolved tensions existing in German society - between the will to be accepted as an integral part of western civilization and to put the Nazi chapter in general and the Holocaust in particular behind, on the one hand, and an awareness of responsibility combined with recurring, sometimes sudden, manifestations of long-term results and implications of the past, on the other - are analyzed. Through its multifaceted approach, this book contributes to a better understanding of present-day German society and of Germany's delicate relationships with both the United States and Israel. 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The dawn of a new millennium offers an opportunity to reappraise the achievements of contemporary English-language theatre and drama in an increasingly cross-cultural age. New multicultural voices are gaining access to the international English stage, which today more than ever is becoming a crucible of cultures. The many challenging essays gathered in this volume reflect this developing mosaic. Written by prominent theatre scholars from Europe, the United States, Canada, Asia, and Australia, these contributions explore recent drama not only in the United Kingdom and the United States, but also in such countries of the former British Empire as Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Focusing on major Anglophone dramatists of the past few decades, these essays provide a fascinating survey of the myriad ways in which English-language drama in transition transcends traditional aesthetic and cultural boundaries. 343 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -German colonisation in Samoa from 1900 to 1914 was characterised by the interplay of conflicting definitions of race. The central question this study asks is to what extent, and in which ways, ideologies of race shaped German colonial policy in Samoa. It analyses the administration's paternalist development policies, debates over white settlement, the introduction and treatment of indentured labourers, and the legal classification of mixed marriages and half-castes. The author argues that rather than uniting the colonising community in a racist mission of domination, racial thought amplified the fissures in German Samoa's population and supported the administration's Realpolitik. 206 pp.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The focus of the papers selected for this volume ranges from the establishment of regional and national literatures for the young to the presentation and characterization of youth and adolescence in diverse forms and formats of literature. The changing goals of canonized texts for educational as well as inspirational purposes are reflected in the diversity of historical and cultural policies of instruction and emancipation through literary and poetical works; historical and sociological aspects dominate these questions addressed to individual works as well as to whole literatures designed for children.On the other hand, the structural properties of children's literature and the actual reception of representative texts by child readers provide an equally fruitful area of psychological, pedagogical or aesthetic investigation. Here the rewriting of different kinds of literatures for the use of children receives as much attention as the creation of works aiming especially at the youthful readership of a given age and area; in this context of critical evaluations a variety of adaptations and reconceptualizations is presented - from medieval Portuguese historiography to Michel Tournier's changing configurations of his own works for different audiences. 274 pp. Französisch, Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Integrating environmental aims in the agricultural policy of the European Union was a main aim of the 1992 CAP-reform. This book presents a study of the socio-economic framing conditions as well as the attitudes and orientations within the agricultural population towards the European agri-environmental policy. It is based on a research project in three member countries, France, Germany, and Portugal, where more than 600 farmers have been interviewed. The results indicate that a change towards more ecologically sustainable forms of agricultural production requires much broader political and social support to grow beyond the dimensions of a marginal green subsector of agriculture. 264 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a detailed study of the phenomenon of self-translation investigated by comparing self-translations of academic texts by, among others, Hannah Arendt, Rudolf Arnheim, Klaus Mann and Stefan Heym, to student translations of the same texts. The detailed linguistic analysis of the differences between the self-translations and the student translations with regard to macrostructure, syntax and reference draws conclusions as to the specific translation stance taken by the bicultural self-translators. The findings of the corpus analysis are then related to models of the translation process, a new model is proposed and the usefulness of self-translation study for the teaching of translation is outlined. 334 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book explores the problem of credit market segmentation, a widespread phenomenon in developing countries, within a theoretical framework based on graphical analysis. It investigates the causes and effects of this problem, and the impact of possible solutions. Credit market segmentation is an outgrowth of information-related problems and high transaction costs in lending. It leads to segmentation in labour markets and also results in inefficient factor allocation and highly skewed income distribution patterns. A theoretical impact analysis shows that microcredit programmes can eliminate the causes and effects of credit market segmentation and that their impact is much broader than is usually assumed. This book should be required reading for everyone who is interested in microcredit.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The inconspicuous status of the indigenous languages of Botswana often leads into the wrong belief that this country's population is basically monolingual. Setswana, the only national language, overshadows 25 or so minority languages by making them vulnerable to language shift and death. Shiyeyi, the focal point in this study, is the second largest minority language which so desperately struggles for its survival. The author contributes to the effort to preserve and develop the remnants of this endangered language by launching its very first comprehensive grammar that will serve both as reference material to teachers and focus of further research. Accessibility of the contents to a potentially large and diversified audience is enhanced by the translations provided. The book is based on authentic data. It covers systematically the Shiyeyi noun classes before proceeding with similar structural descriptions of the other major word categories. It concludes with a generative-transformational treatment of the sentence structure. The glossary compiled towards the end is based on the rich illustrations given in the book and constitutes a starting point in an attempt to develop a future Shiyeyi dictionary.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Poverty remains one of the greatest problems of our time, causing starvation and humiliation in poor countries and contributing to problems of conflict, migration and environmental degradation effecting also richer countries. This study provides a systematical analysis of today's donor strategies for development cooperation, which unite around the goal of poverty reduction. The most recent strategies of the World Bank and the German, British and Swedish official development agencies are compared and evaluated. Their broad consensus on goals and conceptual elements is comprehensively presented. Differences in accentuations regarding beneficiaries and implementation methods are highlighted. An empirical study of the poverty focus in project evaluations of the German Financial Cooperation rounds off the analysis by exemplarily pointing at the practical implications of the new strategies.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -September 11, 2001 is now etched into the collective world consciousness as a water-shed in the modern history of relationship between the world civilizations. These civilizations are essentially rooted in religious faiths that are largely ignorant of each other and consequently mutually hostile. Hopefully, not too late, the world has woken up to this awesome reality. This work started by the author some years ago before September 11, 2001 is appearing at a most auspicious time, when Nigeria indeed, is like the world-stage in microcosm where the contradictions between faith and praxis in the relationship between these world religions are played out. Using Nigeria as a case-study the author painstakingly analyses the commonly shared areas of faith between Islam and the Christian Faith and carefully scrutinizes the background, motives and characteristics of the friction points between the two religions. The result of his research challenges both religions by exposing how much they have in common to co-exist peacefully and assure humanity that peace is inexorably bound up with religion. It also underscores the Catholic Social Teaching with its principles, values and norms for the foundation of a sound social Order and structure of social life.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 424 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Werke von Albert Camus werden auch heute noch meist nur unter der Überschrift des Absurden und des Existentialismus gelesen. Eine Analyse der Bedeutung der Kunst in seinen Prosawerken und in seinen theoretischen Schriften zeigt einen anderen Camus, der das Absurde lediglich als Befund versteht. Als Antwort auf die Absurdität der Welt entwickelt er eine Ästhetik, die er mit der Autonomie der Kunst begründet und die er zugleich den Ideologien des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts entgegensetzt. 116 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Autorin untersucht das offensichtliche Auseinanderklaffen der auf die 'neue Arbeiterfamilie', einen (klein)bürgerlichen Familientypus, ausgerichteten Familienpolitik des 'roten Wien' und der nie aufgegebenen sozialdemokratischen Forderung nach - auch innerfamiliärer - Emanzipation der Frau. Als wesentlichste Ursache hierfür ortet sie einerseits die teilweise auch heute noch im Kollektivbewusstsein der Menschen verwurzelte Überzeugung, das patriarchalische bürgerliche Familienmodell sei die Norm der Familie schlechthin und andererseits die Lehrmeinung der sicher auch von dieser Mentalität beeinflussten austromarxistischen Ideologen, die endgültige Befreiung der Frau könne erst nach Erreichen des revolutionären Ziels, das heißt im Sozialismus, Wirklichkeit werden. Bis dahin seien nur vorbereitende Reformen möglich. 154 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Grundidee des auf eine Tagung zum Thema 'Hegels Konzept der Integration naturwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis in ein System der Philosophie' zurückgehenden Bandes besteht darin, langjährige Bemühungen um Hegels Philosophie zusammenzuführen, unterschiedliche Traditionslinien der Interpretation der Hegelschen Philosophie in den Dialog zu bringen, insbesondere das Verhältnis einer philosophischen Analyse der modernen Naturwissenschaft zu Untersuchungen der begriffslogischen Bestimmtheit des Hegelschen Systems zu debattieren. Es soll gezeigt werden, daß weder eine moderne Naturphilosophie ohne kritisch-konstruktive Rezeption der Hegelschen Naturphilosophie entwickelt werden noch das Hegelsche System ohne gewissenhafte Analyse seiner Naturphilosophie begriffen werden kann. 194 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Durch die Anerkennung von ungeschriebenen Freiheitsrechten gelang es dem Schweizer Bundesgericht, den Kanon der in der Bundesverfassung von 1874 geregelten individuellen Garantien entscheidend zu erweitern. Diese ungeschriebenen Freiheiten wurden - ohne Anknüpfung an den Verfassungstext - unter Herausbildung verschiedener Kriterien 'frei' entwickelt. Auch das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat Wege gefunden, individuelle Rechtspositionen zu stärken. Methodisch geschieht dies hier allerdings immer durch die Anknüpfung an benannte Garantien. Trotz der formalen Anlehnung an ausdrücklich geregelte Freiheiten entwickelte das Bundesverfassungsgericht dabei allerdings quasi eigene Tatbestände und verselbständigte, konsistente Rechtspositionen, so dass man auch hier von ungeschriebenen Freiheitsrechten sprechen kann. Zentrale Bedeutung kommt bei dieser Rechtsprechung Art. 2 Abs. 1 GG in seiner Auslegung als allgemeine Handlungsfreiheit zu. Obwohl beide Gerichte unterschiedliche rechtsdogmatische Ansätze wählen, werden in beiden Rechtsordnungen ähnliche Ergebnisse erzielt. 193 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dieser Band befaßt sich mit Erscheinungen des europäischen Theaters in fünf westeuropäischen Ländern. Ausgewiesene Kenner der Materie haben die Beiträge verfaßt und unterrichten teils im Epochenüberblick (W. Barner, M. Disselkamp), teils in exemplarischer Analyse (M. Brunkhorst, H.-J. Neuschäfer, F. Sick, R. Unfer-Lukoschik) über die Bühnenkultur der Barockzeit. Als Instrument der Herrschaftspropaganda wie der Volksbelustigung, das alle Lebensbezüge berührt, repräsentiert das barocke Theater die Welt schlechthin. Dabei verweist die Prädominanz des Visuellen, für die es steht, in vielen Zügen auf unsere medienbestimmte Gegenwart. 148 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Immer wieder wird in der Öffentlichkeit die Thematik zulässiger Sterbehilfe thematisiert. Dabei geht es meistens um die Frage der Zulässigkeit der Sterbehilfe auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch des todkranken Patienten, beispielsweise durch die Gabe von Gift. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei das Spannungsverhältnis des erklärten Sterbenswunsches des Patienten und der strafrechtlichen Sanktion solcher Sterbehilfe nach dem StGB. In dieser Arbeit soll beleuchtet werden, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen ein Behandlungsabbruch, als Form passiver Sterbehilfe, bei Patienten zulässig ist, die am apallischem Syndrom leiden ('Wachkomapatienten'). Solche Patienten können oft jahrelang im Wachkoma liegen und sind vollständig von der medizinischen Betreuung und Apparatur abhängig. Sie haben zum Zeitpunkt der Entscheidung keine Möglichkeit mehr, sich selbst zu dieser Frage zu äußern. Daher wird ebenfalls untersucht, wie das Selbstbestimmungsrecht des Patienten in diesen Fällen durch Patientenverfügungen und Vorsorgevollmachten gesichert werden kann. Schließlich soll es um die Frage gehen, ob eine gesetzliche Regelung nicht in diesem Bereich für Rechtssicherheit sorgen könnte. 152 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Am prägnantesten hat Johann Friedrich Herbart in seiner Konzeption das Problem neuzeitlichen Unterrichts benannt. Es geht darum, die Vermittlung von Alltags-, Verfügungs- und Orientierungswissen zu leisten und Übergänge in praktische Handlungssituationen des Schullebens beziehungsweise Lebensalltags zu gewährleisten. Demzufolge obliegt erziehendem Unterricht die Aufgabe, beim Schüler mittels eines reflexiven Lernprozesses die Fähigkeit zum eigenen Urteil herauszubilden. Erfahrung und Umgang fungieren als Ausgangspunkte eines erziehenden Unterrichts und sind zugleich bleibende Horizonte menschlicher Praxis. Dies erfordert dann aber auch ein reflexives Verhältnis zwischen den Generationen (Lehrer - Schüler), offene Kommunikations- und Interaktionsformen, so daß es möglich wird, unterschiedliche Sichtweisen, Orientierungen und Sinndeutungen zu reflektieren. Bewußt initiierte Erfahrungsorientierung schärft somit den Blick für die Differenzen im identifizierenden Geflecht alltäglicher Routinen. 260 pp. Deutsch.
