Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Becoming Critical Researchers analyzes the findings of a two-year ethnographic study of the apprenticeship of urban youth as critical researchers of popular culture. Drawing on new literacy studies, critical pedagogy, and sociocultural learning theory, this book documents the changes in student participation within a critical research-focused community of practice. These changes include the acquisition and development of academic and critical literacies and the resulting translations of these literacies into increased academic performance, greater access to college, and commitment to social action. This book inserts critical and postmodern theory into the conception and evaluation of classroom practice and its findings suggest that programs centering on the lived experiences of teens can indeed achieve the goals of critical education, while also promoting academic achievement in urban schools.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ever since the ¿golden age¿ of labour peaked around 1970, organised labour has been progressively weakened in Europe and elsewhere. The end of the era of welfare state expansion and increasing levels of social security constitute a potential threat to social cohesion in Europe. Concern about labour interests and social inclusion is very much an issue in the Europe of the early 21 century.This is the main theme of this volume, which includes original and interesting articles dealing with conditions and developments in trade union organisation and conduct in the representation of workers¿ interests. Industrial and occupational changes have not only threatened the traditional strongholds of trade unionism but also compelled unions to apply new strategies in representing their interests. Another focus of the book is political regulation of the labour market: the relevant articles highlight the failures and successes of the European Employment Strategy with special emphasis on activation schemes and overall strategies for establishing a shared commitment in Europe to achieving sufficient competitiveness by means of a flexible labour market. 414 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage comble une importante lacune, aucune histoire de la Serbie n¿ayant été publiée en français ces dernières décennies. Retraçant l¿histoire tumultueuse de ce petit pays européen, des insurrections contre les Ottomans au début du XIX siècle à la chute du régime de Slobodan Milöevi¿ en octobre 2000, l¿ouvrage permet de mieux appréhender la question nationale serbe et de comprendre les événements tragiques des années 90 (guerres de Croatie, Bosnie-Herzégovine et du Kosovo).L¿auteur y explique l¿histoire récente de la Serbie en situant les événements dans la longue durée de la construction nationale serbe. Il retrace les différentes étapes de l¿émancipation nationale de la Serbie, de l¿autonomie au sein de l¿Empire ottoman à la reconnaissance de son indépendance en 1878, tout en explorant l¿idéologie nationale serbe au XIX siècle. Il s¿intéresse à la création de la Yougoslavie et à la position des Serbes dans cet État complexe, tant pendant l¿entre-deux-guerres (1918-1941) que pendant la période communiste (1945-1991). Yves Tomi¿ montre dans quel contexte a surgi le mouvement nationaliste serbe dans la seconde moitié des années 80 et de ce fait, nous éclaire sur l¿arrière-plan historique des guerres qui ont été conduites tout au long de la dernière décennie.Ce livre est l¿une des principales contributions en langue française à l¿histoire récente de l¿espace yougoslave et plus particulièrement de la Serbie. 170 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Gemeinhin gilt das romantische Schicksalsdrama als literarische Gattung, die zwar während ihrer Blütezeit zwischen 1810 undca. 1825 außergewöhnliche Erfolge auf deutschen Bühnen erzielen konnte, aber keine nennenswerte Wirkung auf die weitere Entwicklung des deutschen Dramas hatte. Im Gegensatz dazugeht die Autorin von einer bislang nicht näher untersuchten Forschungsthese aus, die einen mittelbaren Zusammenhang zwischen dem Schicksalsdrama der Romantik und dem deterministischen Drama des Naturalismus beschreibt.Susanne Balhar widmet sich zunächst der Klärung wichtiger Begriffe und Zusammenhänge sowie dem Stellenwertdes Typus ¿Schicksalsdramä in literaturkritischen und wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen im 19. Jahrhundert. Anschließend weist sie anhand exemplarischer Dramenanalysen nach, inwieweit das Modell des romantischen Schicksalsdramas in der Dramenliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts insgesamt fortgewirkt hat und welchen Variationen es unterworfen war.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 482 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In 14 Aufsätzen haben sich Fachkolleginnen und -kollegen den folgenden vier größeren Themengebieten gewidmet: 1. Walther vermitteln in Schule und Hochschule, 2. Sprechen und Hören, 3. Rezeption und interkulturelle Perspektiven sowie 4. Neue Lektüren. In Schule und Hochschule erlangen didaktische Konzepte zunehmend Bedeutung. Für Gegenstände der germanistischen Mediävistik trifft dies in besonderer Weise zu: Vier Beiträge versuchen, neue Wege der Vermittlung aufzuzeigen. Studien aus dem Bereich der Auslandsgermanistik lenken den Blick auf bislang wenig beachtete Details in Walthers Dichtung bzw. regen zu interkultureller Lektüre an. Wieder andere Beiträge zeigen, dass selbst in der Forschung bereits viel beachtete Texte nach wie vor mit neuen Akzenten gelesen werden können. Drei Kurzbesprechungen weisen schließlich auf neue Publikationen zu Walther hin. 302 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das reformatorische Schriftprinzip gilt vielen als nicht mehr tragfähig. Grund dafür ist die Loslösung der Schriftautorität von ihrer kritischen und heilsamen Wirkung in Gesetz und Evangelium. Dagegen weisen die Aufsätze dieses Bandes Wege zu einer Wiederentdeckung der lebensgestaltenden Kraft der Schrift als Kanon und Sakrament. Dies geschieht in Auseinandersetzung mit theologischen Ansätzen, die selber die Relevanz der biblischen Botschaft gewährleisten wollen und Gefahr laufen, das äußere Bibelwort in seiner Widerständigkeit zu überspringen. Auch die Ethik lebt von Grundlagen, die sie nicht schaffen kann. Gerade in der Debatte um Freiheit und Nachhaltigkeit erweist sich die biblisch-reformatorische Schöpfungstheologie als wichtiges Korrektiv in verschiedenen sozialethischen Kontexten. 372 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Both law and popular culture pervade our lives. Popular culture constructs our perceptions of law and changes the way that players in the legal system behave. Now in its second edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book explores the interface between two subjects of enormous importance to everyone - law and popular culture. Each chapter takes a particular legally themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, Dead Man Walking, or Law and Order, treating it as both a cultural text and a legal text. The new edition has been updated with new photos and includes greater emphasis on television than in the first edition because there are so many DVDs of older TV shows now available. Law and Popular Culture is written in an accessible and engaging style, without theoretical jargon, and can serve as a basic text for undergraduates or graduate courses and be taught by anyone who enjoys pop culture and is interested in law. An instructor's manual is available on request from the publisher and author. 374 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The (Underground) Railroad in African American Literature offers a brief history of the African American experience of the railroad and the uses of railroad history by a wide assortment of twentieth-century African American poets, dramatists, and fiction writers. Moreover, this literary history examines the ways in which trains, train history, and legendary train figures such as Harriet Tubman and John Henry have served as literary symbols. This repeated use of the train symbol and associated train people in twentieth-century African American literature creates a sense of literary continuity and a well-established aesthetic tradition all too frequently overlooked in many traditional approaches to the study of African American writing. The metaphoric possibilities associated with the railroad and the persistence of the train as a literary symbol in African American writing demonstrates the symbol's ongoing literary value for twentieth-century African American writers - writers who invite their readers to look back at the various points in history where America got off track, and who also dare to invite their readers to imagine an alternate route for the future. 240 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Problem-posing with Multicultural Children's Literature documents an ongoing qualitative study of early childhood teachers using a problem-posing method with multicultural children's literature. Grounded in critical theory, the text has been written for use in upper-division undergraduate- and graduate-level classes that study infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and students in grades one and two.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main aim of this book is to highlight the worsening situation of children on the African continent, where the number of street children is increasing from day to day. Besides, this book discusses the issue of HIV/AIDS and how it affects the lives of African children. It offers useful suggestions and valuable proposals on how to deal with these problems. Based on the research the author made, he decided on Sudan, Kenya, Uganda as well as Zambia as countries of case studies. About 70 percent of the adults are living with HIV/AIDS disease. 80 percent of the children in Africa live with HIV/AIDS. In recent years, 2.2 million Africans died as a result of HIV/AIDS infections. This indicates that the disease is one of the major threats to the economic and social development in Africa. This book investigates the causes and recommends possible solutions to the problem of children and child soldiers in the world and in Africa in particular. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Debbie Rodan adds breadth and depth to the field of literary, cultural and gender studies through a meticulous investigation of notions such as re-presentation, justice and legitimation. She examines their historical and philosophical trajectories as well as their politico-juridical underpinnings through an ambitious and timely recuperation of the Enlightenment projects of rationality and emancipation. The point of departure is a critical engagement with the theoretical work of John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas and Jean-François Lyotard. Rodan claims each can be read as foregrounding diverse ways of constituting identity within the social world. Recognition of other people's identity at the social, cultural and national level is crucial to the possibility of justice. Rodan tests the concepts of justice, legitimation and identity through detailed critical readings/analyses of a range of texts. The range includes the film East is East, a number of auto/biographical narratives as well as the Australian government report, Bringing Them Home, which is concerned with the removal of Aboriginal children from their families. She avoids polarising Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal notions of justice, identity etc. by including texts which raise and problematise questions of ethnicity and gender. 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Queen of Sheba's Round Table is in no way intended as an imitation or gender sensitive counterpart of King Arthur's famous colloquium but is a virtual meeting of spiritually noble ladies presenting their illustrious life stories.The purpose of the study is to present women from real life in the most natural and comprehensible way possible, nevertheless relying on documented texts. The activities and ideologies of the heroines participating in this unique albeit imaginary meeting are microscoped for particular features that would explain their outstanding achievements, believed to be in some way or other inheritable and thus transferable to further eligible candidates. The accounts are interspersed with questions raised by the listening participants, intended to reflect the opinion of the author. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ecological thinking has in recent years come a long way from its origins in biology, to become a new paradigm within many disciplines. Its approach is holistic, and focuses on dynamic, interactive systems and the interrelationships between the object of study and its context. The author demonstrates how adopting such an ecological perspective fundamentally changes our understanding of human language, and calls into question a number of assumptions: that language is rule-governed, for example, or that it represents a distinctive form of knowledge. From an ecological point of view, language is inseparable from all expressions of human sociality, such as communication, culture, and community. Arising from this perspective are key concepts, such as patterning, predictability, and creativity, which the author suggests as the basis of a very different approach to linguistics. Linguists, along with everyone interested in the many facets of meaningful human behaviour, will find the ideas presented here both stimulating and challenging. Furthermore, an ecological framework supersedes the distinction between theoretical and applied linguistics, and the book is specifically addressed to language practitioners of all kinds, for whom an ecological view of language is particularly relevant. 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book is the first major study to bring together the two early twentieth-century theologians Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German Lutheran pastor, and Simone Weil, French philosopher and convert to Christianity. Both were victims of Nazi oppression, and neither survived the war. The book explores the two theologians' reflections on Christian responsiveness to God and neighbour, being the interdependence of the two great commandments of the Jewish Law reiterated by Jesus. It sets out the common ground and the differing emphases in their interpretations. For Bonhoeffer, responsiveness was the transformation of the whole person effected by faith (Gestaltung) , and the responsibility (Verantwortung) for one's actions which it implies. For Weil, responsiveness was the hope and expectation of grace (attente) reflected in attention , the capacity to listen to, understand and help others. Both Bonhoeffer and Weil faced a world dominated by aggression and horrendous suffering. Both endeavoured to articulate their responses, as Christians, to that world. The relevance of their thought to the twenty-first century is explored, in relation to perspectives on grace and freedom, on aggression, suffering, and forgiveness, and on the role of the church in society. Conclusions are illustrated by reference to contemporary theologians including Rowan Williams, Daniel Hardy, Frances Young and David Tracy. 276 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Using a survey of more than 1000 German investment projects in Central and Eastern Europe, this study analyses the strategies of international joint ventures. Their risks and, in particular, their innovative potential is investigated. As a statistical tool for the analysis of share equations the conditional Tobit model is introduced. The theoretical base is a continuous time, full information model of a joint venture. Surprisingly, sufficient and necessary conditions for joint venture instability and technology transfer can be derived. The survey is used to apply the introduced concepts and to demonstrate the validity of the approach empirically. 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Both neo-liberal and Third Way politicians and pundits have come to accept globalisation as the key determinant of social and political organization. Consequently, they have confused government's role in the liberal democratic state with that of the globalised corporation. The result has been a discursive closure about what counts as human flourishing, and about the nature of the educational provision which best serves such flourishing - which is co-terminous with economic success. This book offers both a challenge to such an equivalence, and an understanding of the dispositions and practices that are necessary for education to sustain a robust and invigorating openness in, and for, democracy. From an oblique and whimsical perspective, Betwixt and Between renovates a range of playful and interesting metaphors rooted in experiences and encounters with and at the limen (or threshold). In doing so it weaves through laughter, trickster, poetry, and religion.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 232 pp. Englisch.

These have created in the past heavy environmental hazards (Minamata disease and 'Waldsterben'), which again led to the fact that they have become leaders in environmental technologies and protection. This volume presents the most outstanding contributions of a conference organised at the Musashi Institute of Technology, Yokohama, in October 2002, by the German-Japanese Society of Social Sciences, which assembles some of the most prominent specialists in the field of both countries. 354 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Tariff Rate Quotas are an important, though controversial instrument of international agricultural trade policy. They are meant to provide market access, but can be designed to be as restrictive as import quotas. In the political and academic discussion, quota administration is blamed to cause extra inefficiencies. However, little research exists on how different methods of quota administration compare to each other. This question is approached by an econometric model for censored panel data, which was applied to the EU's tariff rate quotas. Furthermore, this work analyses how tariff rate quotas are governed by WTO rules, how they are applied in practice by the EU and US, and how they could be reformed in the ongoing agricultural trade negotiations. 194 pp. Englisch.

The diversity is intentional as it shows how much misogyny has been able to permeate centuries and literatures, but it also shows that those trying to resist it are just as cosmopolitan. The collection discloses the negative sameness of different peoples and cultures in their misogyny found in such celebrated authors as Boccaccio, Byron, Chaucer, Gallegos, Gide, D.H. Lawrence, Melville, Mungan, Pushkin, Salih, Shakespeare, and Swift. 232 pp. Englisch.
