Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts bemühte sich der Krefelder katholische Pfarrer Reinarz gemäß dem Wunsch der katholischen Bevölkerungsmehrheit um die polizeiliche Erlaubnis zur alljährlichen Durchführung einer öffentlichen Fronleichnamsprozession in der Stadt Krefeld, die seit über 200 Jahren verboten war. Mehrere Versuche scheiterten am Widerstand des Bürgermeisters, des Landrats und der preußischen Regierung, welche damit die sozialpolitischen Herrschaftsinteressen der protestantischen städtischen Führungsschicht auch auf religiös-kultischem Gebiet vertraten und verteidigten. Erst die Revolution von 1848/49 und die Religionsartikel der preußischen Verfassung vom 5. Dezember 1848 ermöglichten 1849 die erstmalige Prozessionsabhaltung. Dadurch dass die langjährige Gegenwehr auf eine Säkularisierung des öffentlichen Raums mittels seiner Freihaltung von Gottesdiensten abzielte und in einem Antiklerikalismus, der wiederum in einem latenten Antikatholizismus wurzelte, mitbegründet lag, gewannen die Auseinandersetzungen den Charakter eines lokalen Kulturkampfes in der Reihe der vielen Kulturkämpfe des 19. Jahrhunderts. 110 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Was gegenwärtig unter dem Stichwort 'Digitalisierung' verhandelt wird, pendelt zwischen Heilsphantasien und Katastrophisierung. Die Theologische Ethik tastet sich gegenwärtig noch unsicher an dieses Thema heran. Das Buch legt eine ethische Grundlegung für die Probleme der angewandten Ethik mit künstlich intelligenten und autonomen Maschinen vor. Insbesondere der moralische Status von Robotern und Künstlicher Intelligenz wird bestimmt.An Robotern treten wesentliche Phänomene intersubjektiver Begegnungen nicht auf. Man kann sich vor ihnen nicht anhaltend schämen und ihre Lernfähigkeit keinem Wesen zurechnen, das lernt. Damit sind theologische Kriterien des Status des Menschen benannt, die sich nicht nachbauen lassen. 166 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study aims at analyzing the characters and spaces in films (writing case studies) in the framework of the Theory of Narrative in the context of the concepts of panopticon and chronotope. In the context of the relation of the spaces with the story, the spaces, where Bal separated according to the movement types of characters as steady spaces and dynamically functioning spaces, were determined according to the context in which the characters could use their existence on the basis of the qualities of the space in the narrative of the film. In this manner, the exterior and interior spaces that are presented in film narratives are analyzed in the context of Bal's commentated facts and the facts that are grounded on. While examining the spaces in terms of the effect of these spaces on the plot, evaluations were made about the causal motivation of the spectator while watching the narrative. The concepts of panopticon and chronotope make it possible to examine the narrative elements in detail and try to explain how the process of the narrative interpretation of spectators is developed. 102 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The intestine (and the gut microbiota), often referred to as the «real brain» of the body, has been implicated in a wide range of diseases, including obesity, and diet has a direct impact on intestinal health. While bloating, flatulence and constipation seem like routine, everyday symptoms, one cannot deny the significant societal burden they impart partly through their effect on the quality of life and partly through the medical and surgical costs they incur on patients desperate to improve symptoms.This book discusses irritable bowel syndrome, which is accompanied by complaints of bloating, flatulence, constipation and diarrhea, from which many people routinely suffer. Furthermore, it presents treatment methods, e.g., dietary and nutritional approaches, and recommendations to change lifestyle and manage digestive symptoms. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this narrative rooted in autoethnography, the author juxtaposes her personal story with that of international stories of resistance to oppression and calls on educators to include children's personal stories as critical pedagogy to honor their funds of knowledge and foster their historical consciousness. With a focus on eighteenth-century freedom fighter Nanny of the Maroons, From the Middle Passage to Black Lives Matter emphasizes the historical connections between Indigenous people worldwide who have harnessed their ancestral roots to disrupt cultural hegemony. The book emphasizes the imaginative and radical assertions of the enduring resistance of the formerly colonized, going back to the era of slavery through to the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter, and calls for a radical shift in the global curriculum to include these stories.Storytelling is acknowledged as an intergenerational teaching methodology rooted in Indigenous Epistemology which serves to honor our common humanity. The essential message of the text is conveyed through the socio-educational and cultural interventions that are asserted as transformational pedagogy that will serve to elevate students' voices and promote their academic achievement. This book bears witness to the ways in which the history and sociocultural background of Indigenous people have been ignored and at times rendered invisible or inconsequential, and offers innovative strategies to correct history and write Indigenous people into the literature with creativity and sensitivity. From the Middle Passage to Black Lives Matter is a narrative of social justice that seeks to raise the reader's historical consciousness and provide authentic strategies to decolonize the global curriculum. 170 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Führt die neuzeitliche Individualisierung zur Subjektwerdung oder stehen wir im schleichenden Umbruch vom Gemeinschaftsmenschen zum egozentrischen 'Selfie' des Anthropozäns Nach verschiedenen Befreiungsversuchen betreibt der postmoderne Mensch seine digitale und ökonomische Selbstinthronisation an die Stelle des 'toten Gottes'. Diesem komplexen Prozess von Selbstermächtigung und Selbstunterwerfung ist zugleich seit der Christus-Theologie des Paulus und der Reformation das Gegenmodell von Subjekt-Werdung eingeschrieben: das paradoxe Widerfahrnis von Verpflichtung und Freiheitserfahrung. Dieses Paradox der Universalität des Christus-Geschehens und gleichzeitiger Singularität des glaubenden Individuums entlarvt die vornehmlich psychotherapeutischen Identitätskonzepte und Fundamentalismen für Subjekt-Werdung als naturalistische, bewusstseinsgebundene, vereindeutigende Fehlversuche. Beispiele aus Theologie, Philosophie, Kunst, Mode und Bildung zeigen diesen Widerstreit einer fatalen Egozentrik und einer Subjekt-Werdung, die asymmetrisch vom Anderen, von Gott, ausgeht als Paradox von Verpflichtetwerden und gleichzeitigem Versetztwerden in Freiheit. 196 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book focuses on American missionary activities in the Ottoman Empire. After the construction of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission in 1810, American missionaries started to spread the Gospel around the world. The Ottoman Empire was perceived as a strategic place since it occupied Jerusalem. By the time they arrived, American missionaries found a weak central authority. Some of the Ottoman officials considered that Westernization of the public institutions in the Empire could strengthen central authority. In order to protect its integrity, the Ottoman Empire started to grant freedoms to the minorities. After gaining liberties, American Missionaries further strengthened their position in the Empire. This book analyzes the strong image of American missionary schools through Robert College which was established in 1863. Robert College which reflects American ideals, preserves its distinguished place to this day. 86 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book draws on a review of literature on the motivational research from multiple countries with special emphasis on Turkey. It provides information to further our understanding of why people decide to become teachers, and after they become teachers why they stay in the profession or leave it. Studies about teacher motivation, and demotivation are shared to bring to light the scope and nature of this issue. It offers recommendations for administrators and policy makers about the preparation of teachers for the profession, about the in-service trainings, and the coping strategies needed for teacher demotivation, burnout, and stress in the profession. It is strongly recommended as a resource to be used in educational sciences, educational psychology, and comparative education related classes. 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Almost from the beginning, since 1970, new plays became part of the Focus's repertory. Starting with Peter Terson's Mooney and His Caravan, and Declan Burke-Kennedy's The Trespasser in 1973, new plays continued to be produced and some, such as actor-playwright Ena May (Out of the Beehive 1987; She's Your Mother, Too, You Know 1988; A Close Shave With the Devil 2001), finding an artistic home for their works, though not in the numbers that established plays and classics had been produced under Deirdre's leadership. Since 2002 under Joe Devlin's artistic direction, Focus has reversed the emphasis with new plays taking the lion's share of the theatre's performances and, in the process, reinvigorated itself during the past decade. Of the seven plays in this anthology, (five are from Joe's leadership) all exhibit a range in styles from Lewis Carroll's fantastical world (Alice in Wonderland by Mary Elizabeth Burke-Kennedy), to a couple on the brink of a philandering weekend disaster (The Day of the Mayfly by Declan Burke-Kennedy), to a one-man show about Jonathan Swift with several characters all played by the same actor (Talking Through His Hat by Michael Harding); an examination of two shoplifting thieves and the would-be writer who gets in their way (Pinching for My Soul by Elizabeth Moynihan), a battle royal between two sides of a world-famous painter (Francis & Frances by Brian McAvera), the reactions of multiple New Yorkers to that moment on September 11, 2001 when their world was changed forever (New York Monologues by Mike Poblete), to the final days of an iconic movie star (Hollywood Valhalla by Aidan Harney).Each of these scripts is followed by short notes from the playwright, a memory of the production and in some cases its aims by its author. As will become quite clear, there is no single Focus play, no play which perfectly captures the spirit, the aesthetic aims, the physical abilities of this continually surprising fifty-year-old company. 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book takes the reader through a journey into the practical and theoretical aspects of partner-based learning in bilingual early childhood environments. The authors begin by presenting compelling arguments for the significance of this approach noting the parallels between partner-based collaborative learning and developmentally appropriate practices for young learners. Part 1 weaves in tenets of a LatCrit perspective to highlight intersections of a social justice orientation to learning and teaching and a collaborative approach that capitalizes on Latinx bilingual children's linguistic repertoire and cultural capital. The authors unpack the translingual partner construct unveiling the potential of bilingual children as meaning-makers and language problem solvers. Part 2 contextualizes the concept of translingual partner interactions in two early childhood classrooms. Then, to bridge theory and praxis, Part 3 reveals what the authors have learned after thousands of observations, conversations, and interactions with bilingual teachers and young learners throughout the United States. Readers will find considerations for the design of partner-based interactions. Specifically, the authors address criteria such as language proficiency, academic strengths, and learning styles. The authors include general guidelines for effective partner collaboration to assist teachers in the assessment of partner-based work. To bring the discussion full circle, the authors close with an example of a real-life partnership. Chicano leaders Dolores Huerta and César Chávez's partnership is portrayed in terms of their agency, impact, and connectedness with the community. 248 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dismantling the Disabling Environments of Education: Creating New Cultures and Contexts for Accommodating Difference challenges assumptions that view people of difference to be 'abnormal,' that isolate attention to their difference solely in the individual, that treat areas of difference as matters of deficiency, and that separate youth of difference from the mainstream and treat them as pathologized. As outsiders to mainstream special education, the authors of this collection take a more social and cultural perspective that views the surrounding social environment as at least as problematic as any point of difference in any individual. Most of the scholars contributing to this volume work with preservice and inservice teachers and grapple with issues of curriculum and pedagogy. One of the primary audiences we hope to reach with this book is our colleagues and practitioners who have not made special education or disability studies the focus of their careers, but who, like we, are determined to engage with the full range of people who attend schools. Dismantling the Disabling Environments of Education: Creating New Cultures and Contexts for Accommodating Difference can be a valuable text for undergraduate and graduate courses in teacher education, as it addresses key issues of inclusion, diversity, equity, and differentiated approaches to educating the full range of students. 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La dramaturgie québécoise présente des survivances du personnage, quand d'autres ne cessent de le remettre en question. Loin de présenter des individus psychologiques, les dramaturges québécois détournent le réalisme pour proposer des figures hors du commun. Ce livre propose d'abord un panorama de tous ces protagonistes en emmenant le lecteur dans une traversée de nombreux textes écrits dans les années 2000 mais dont les auteurs sont de plusieurs générations, traditions et formations théâtrales. Vous y découvrirez des personnages sans famille, sans passé, sans territoire, des personnages qui viennent d'autres oeuvres. Cette galerie de portraits nous invite à entrer dans la fabrique des auteurs pour interroger le partage des voix qu'ils opèrent dans l'écriture.En effet, les auteurs dramatiques, face à la difficulté de plus en plus grande de faire entendre leurs voix, choisissent souvent de se représenter dans leurs oeuvres et exploitent dans leurs créations leur moi d'auteur comme un matériau. C'est cette voix de l'écriture aux limites de l'autofiction et de l'autobiographie qu'explore la seconde partie de l'ouvrage. Pour cela, l'autrice s'intéresse à des oeuvres plus proches du plateau et montre comment les auteurs, souvent aussi acteurs, metteurs en scène, se pensent et se représentent dans leurs oeuvres et interrogent leur pouvoir de création de la fiction. 206 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Weder die Betreuungsbedürftigkeit noch die Geschäftsunfähigkeit eines Gesellschafters führen zu seinem Ausschluss aus der Personengesellschaft. Um die Bestellung eines Betreuers zu vermeiden, werden vermehrt Vorsorgevollmachten verwendet. Der Autor beschäftigt sich mit der Vereinbarkeit dieser - mit Eintritt der Geschäftsunfähigkeit - faktisch unwiderruflichen Vollmachten mit den personengesellschaftsrechtlichen Grundsätzen, insbesondere mit dem Abspaltungsverbot. Hierzu werden Vergleiche zu anderen Fällen der Fremdverwaltung von Gesellschafterrechten, wie der Betreuung und der Testamentsvollstreckung, gezogen. Damit ein Vorsorgebevollmächtigter aber sämtliche Gesellschafterrechte ausüben kann, ist die Zustimmung aller Mitgesellschafter erforderlich. 162 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Leurs yeux se rencontrèrent - Jean Rousset a choisi de manière emblématique cette expression figée pour son étude magistrale sur la topique du coup d'oeil comme rencontre première dans la littérature française. Son analyse montre exemplairement la sémantique et tradition rituelle de la rencontre comme motif littéraire dont la diversité des représentations reste encore inaperçue. Les contributions choisies pour ce volume reconsidèrent la ritualité des rencontres et ses modes divers de représentation dans la narration française du xix e et xx e siècle. Elles permettent de relire et décrire la variété d'échelons conceptuels ainsi que le contexte socio-culturel divers des notions du rituel et de la rencontre face à leur convergence et divergence sémantiques. 148 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom: First Nation Know-how for Global Flourishing's contributors describe ways of being in the world that reflect a worldview that guided humanity for 99% of human history: They describe the practical traditional wisdom that stems from Nature-based relational cultures that were or are guided by this worldview. Such cultures did not cause the kinds of anti-Nature and de-humanizing or inequitable policies and practices that now pervade our world. Far from romanticizing Indigenous histories, Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom offers facts about how human beings, with our potential for good and evil behaviors, can live in relative harmony again. Contributions cover views from anthropology, psychology, sociology, leadership, native science, native history, and native art. 304 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited volume on voices arose from the 2018 International Communication Association conference in Prague, Czech Republic. The contributions examine the conference's central theme from multiple epistemological approaches, a host of methodologies, and numerous levels of analysis. They reveal how studying voice-or the plurality of voices-illuminates the process by which it is fostered and/or constrained as well as the conditions under which it is expressed and/or stifled. More important, the study of voice sheds light on the process by which it impacts behaviors, defines relationships, influences policies, and shapes the world in which we live. In other words, studies of voice are not relegated to a few domains, but interface with myriad discourses, actors, processes, and outcomes. 280 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Do International Criminal Tribunals trigger social change, provide reconciliation, stabilize fragile post-conflict societies Many authors claim they do, but they base their assumptions mainly on theoretical considerations and opinion polls. The editors and authors of this book take a different position: based on extensive field research in nine European and African countries, they examine whether tribunal decisions resulted in changes in media frames about the conflicts which gave rise to the creation of these tribunals. International Tribunals hardly ever shape or change the grand narratives about wars and other conflicts, but they often manage to trigger small changes in media frames which, in some cases, even lead to public reflexion about guilt and responsibility and more awareness for (the respective enemy's) victims. On an empirical basis, this book shows the potential of International Criminal Justice, the possibilities, but also the limits of International Criminal Tribunals. Volume 2 presents the evidence from Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan and South Sudan. 136 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book presents results from research conducted by Zygmunt Zawirski on the theory of knowledge, quantum mechanics, logic, ontology and metaphysics. The works undertaken in the field of logic, methodology and philosophy of science, and in particular the philosophy of nature and natural science testify to a solid preparation for the fundamental task of developing contemporary scientific philosophy. The emerging mathematical natural science did not have those possibilities which emerged in the 20th Century and which Zygmunt Zawirski (1882-1948) used. In the development of scientific metaphysics, he took into account both the achievements of modern logic, mathematics and physics. Zawirski builds scientific metaphysics by referring to empiricism, broadly understood experience. Modern metaphysics should meet high standards of precision and uniqueness, which is why Zawirski attempts to apply the axiomatic method to both the analysis of the theory of physics and the scientific metaphysics. 166 pp. Englisch.

In that long stretch of time, European food cultures at first very distant from one another begin to interact in ways that will come to transform all of them. With the circulation of men, products, words, and ideas, the continent forges a substantially unified identity.This volume takes the reader on a journey among ingredients, recipes, customs, and choices as we move in the company of kings and peasants, distinguished figures - noblemen, ambassadors, bishops, and popes - scientists and literati, cooks and artisans, and common men and women (a few, anyway). In other words, this is a journey that weaves its ways throughout the whole of society. Food - whether desired or denied, relished or rejected, global or local - is our key for understanding the slow road toward a unified European culture. 198 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Im Jahre 1945 wurden die deutschen katholischen Kirchenstrukturen östlich der Oder und Neiße durch eine vorläufige polnische Kirchenverwaltung ersetzt. Das katholische Kirchenleben in den ehemaligen deutschen Ostgebieten wurde innerhalb von wenigen Jahren fast vollständig polonisiert. Diese Vorgänge stellen seit Jahrzehnten ein sehr umstrittenes, aber immer noch schwach erforschtes Kapitel der deutsch-polnischen Beziehungsgeschichte dar. In der vorliegenden Monographie werden sie zum ersten Mal umfassend rekonstruiert und analysiert. 494 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book shows how Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI mandated many confused, inconsistent, and misguided policies on clerical sexual abuse; actions that ultimately hindered the implementation of effective reforms to alleviate the crisis that has enveloped the Catholic Church for the last two decades. It also examines the possibility of authentic change by articulating the positive outreach of Pope Francis to the victims of abuse, his attempts at institutional atonement, as well as his struggles to implement systematic actions for the protection of young people. 204 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book shows Chekhov in a new light, as a writer with a synthetic ethical worldview on which his poetics are based. The book's key finding is that the temporal experience of modernity lies at the centre of Chekhov's work. This conclusion is reached by comparing the ways in which modern temporality is represented in the different genres in which Chekhov wrote, from the non-fictional Sakhalin Island to his short fiction and drama. In terms of methodology, the book combines the historiographical and sociological views of modernity as based on a certain understanding of time with Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope. 188 pp. Englisch.

Diese Hauptthese der Studie ist das Ergebnis der Auseinandersetzung mit der Trinitätslehre von Augustinus, Richard von St. Viktor und Gisbert Greshake.
