Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -We are living in historic times and negotiating multiple national crises. The confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic and unrelenting state-sanctioned murders of Black people has disproportionately impacted our women and girls at the intersections of employment, citizenship, housing, healthcare, and motherhood statuses. As many individuals rally for liberation on the frontlines, how might educational institutions intervene as sources of respite and reparation Historically, racialized sexism in U.S. schools has manifested uniquely for Black girl-identified adolescents (including cisgender, queer, and transgender youth). These learners face heightened exposure to malicious discourses and exclusionary disciplinary policies. Engendering #BlackGirlJoy identifies the teaching practices that equip young Black women to locate, analyze, heal from, and ultimately thrive through the suffering they face inside and outside of schools.The book is rooted in the author¿s experience as a South Los Angeles high school teacher working at her alma mater, trying to cultivate the life-affirming education that she desired as a child. Centering her students¿ perspectives, Monique Lane outlines a Black feminist pedagogical framework that inspired bountiful #BlackGirlJoy in one embattled public school. This text is a heartfelt offering to educators committed to taking courageous and innovative action¿in solidarity with Black girl learners¿toward the betterment of their lives!Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -From their founding, Greek letter organizations have maintained legacies of exclusion that have particularly targeted minoritized people including Black, Indigenous, People of Color as well as queer and transgender individuals. In response to larger societal oppression and, more specifically, historical discriminatory practices within historically white sororities and fraternities, culturally-based sororities and fraternities emerged to serve and lift up minoritized communities. Culturally-based sororities and fraternities (CBSFs) include Asian American, Black, Latinx/a/o, LGBTQ, Multicultural, and Historically Native American sororities and fraternities. Unfortunately, conversations on sorority and fraternity life (SFL) have prioritized historically white organizations, perpetuating the same legacies of oppression that led to the formation of culturally-based groups to begin with. This book is a form of resistance to these power dynamics and brings to light the histories, legacies, and strengths of CBSFs as well as ways to re-envision equitable support for these organizations. This book will be instrumental to SFL practitioners, (inter)national sorority and fraternity leadership, and for all SFL members in their efforts to increase their awareness of CBSFs. Additionally, campuses are increasingly embracing opportunities to understand minoritized students¿ experiences on campus and to center equitable practice. This book could be used during professional development workshops for deans, faculty, and student affairs professionals to consider how well they are supporting minoritized students and, more specifically, those who are in culturally-based sororities and fraternities. This text can also serve as an important resource for college courses focused on college students, student affairs, and social justice in higher education.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die Autorin untersucht die Liberalisierungspolitik der Europäischen Kommission in Bezug auf den europäischen Dienstleistungsmarkt und deren Auswirkung auf den Beruf des Rechtsanwalts und seine Stellung als freien Beruf. Sie greift dabei die Frage auf, ob die Deregulierungspolitik der Kommission zur Stärkung des europäischen Rechtsdienstleistungsmarktes führt oder dadurch der Zugang zum Recht droht zu einer bloßen Handelsware degradiert zu werden. Ferner untersucht sie welchen Einfluss die EuGH-Rechtsprechung auf die Kommission hat. Zudem richtet sie ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Durchsetzung der Liberalisierungsstrategien im Rahmen der Reformpolitik in Griechenland während der Wirtschaftskrise und in dem Zusammenhang auf die Reform des anwaltlichen Berufsrechts in Griechenland. 182 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Long after his death in 1764, William Hogarth is still our contemporary. Far from leading a secluded existence in museums and academies, his legacy of vibrant images and provocative ideas remains a powerful source of inventiveness and inspiration for the artists of today, as once for those of yesterday, be it on page, stage, canvas or digital formats. After approaching the artist by way of his challenging aesthetic philosophy and his resistance to normative categories, this two-book set considers Hogarth¿s pioneering sense of performativity, which has long made him the treasured interlocutor of actors and playwrights, from David Garrick to Bertolt Brecht or Nick Dear. His work has permeated film, television, the graphic novel, art and narrative, which all bear witness to his versatile and powerful use of images and its resonance in the modern and contemporary age. Brimming as it is with energy, plenty, affliction, entropy and empathy, Hogarth¿s contradictory universe of chaos and beauty is in tune with ours and resonates vividly with contemporary passions and struggles. The twenty-eight essays in this collection chart the teeming legacies of William Hogarth and explore the ways in which his works and ideas were and are revisited and appropriated in the UK and across Europe. For the eighteenth-century artist lives on as an unforgotten presence, whose invigorating and challenging memory energizes multiple expressive forms, including drama, visual arts, literature, film, graphic novels and TV serials.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 360 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Cognition is a paradoxical process, from the moment of the formation of human subjectivity, through its relationship with the Other (or more precisely: l'autre) and with the world, to the ontological status of the world as such. This is what this book has at stake.The book deals with selected aspects of poststructural thought which are introduced into the language of contemporary science, prose, and poetry. Such an enterprise is possible by treating philosophy, science, and poetry as languages which can try to enter into a dialogue through metaphors. This is the ground on which the project is implemented. 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Thomas Chalmers was arguably the most popular Scot and influential churchman of his age. However, when he was first educated, ordained, installed, and serving as a parish minister in the Church of Scotland, he was by his own admission not yet a converted Christian. How could a minister of the gospel not believe the gospel How this happened is telling of his context, country, and church, but it is not a short story. From a confusion of church and state dating back to the Scottish Reformation to an increasing secularism in and through the Scottish Enlightenment, the Church of Scotland moved increasingly away from its Reformation roots and the necessity of the gospel in Christian conversion, as evidenced in the early life of Thomas Chalmers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In women entrepreneurship studies, the regional emphasis remained limited generally to the studies carried out within the scope of regional development.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage propose une approche transnationale de l¿étude des circulations et des réseaux missionnaires élaborés depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqüà nos jours, en se focalisant sur l¿analyse des parcours des actrices et des acteurs de la mission et ce, selon diverses échelles. Il tient compte des transformations socio-ecclésiales majeures parcourues au cours du siècle dernier, portant une attention particulière à la manière dont l¿aggiornamento catholique, la Guerre froide, l¿émergence de théologies contextuelles, puis l¿avènement d¿un monde multipolaire et globalisé, ont transformé les espaces et les réseaux missionnaires de manière pérenne. Que ce soit par l¿analyse de revues missionnaires, de journaux intimes, de documents d¿archives écrites et sonores ou d¿entrevues menées avec des missionnaires, les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage offrent un panorama riche et vaste des principales tendances à l¿¿uvre au cours de la période visée.Par ailleurs, cet ouvrage collectif laisse transparaître un parti pris pour une approche multidisciplinaire telle que la commande l¿objet même de la mission. De plus, il porte une attention particulière aux effets des échanges entre actrices et acteurs de la mission, installés sur les cinq continents, explorant des circulations et des réseaux qui ne se limitent pas à des dynamiques Nord-Sud, mais qui prennent en considération le dynamisme des liens entre pays du Sud. Enfin, il nous semble très important de souligner que cet ouvrage permet d¿identifier de nouvelles pistes de recherche dans le domaine de la mission, par l¿analyse de tendances actuelles telles que la mission inversée, la force de certaines Églises du Sud global ainsi que l¿action d¿organisations non gouvernementales catholiques, dans des contextes de transformations de politiques publiques, notamment.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 268 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the Interclausal Relations Hierarchy within the Role and Reference Grammar theory, with primary data on eight complex verbal Sardinian constructions. The hierarchy ranks them from the most cohesive to the least cohesive, both syntactically and semantically. There is a meaningful prediction of the hierarchy, that is, the tightest syntactic linkage realising a particular semantic relation should be tighter than the tightest syntactic linkage realising looser semantic relations. Almost all the constructions respect this prediction, but two of them. The data also manifest diatopic variation. The author is using a phonetic map to analyse the morphosyntactic data. He presents a number of maps that show that morphosyntactic phenomena are, in general, more widespread than phonetic isoglosses. They are common to the three main varieties of Sardinian: Campidanese, Logudorese and Nuorese.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 270 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book addresses the question whether translation students can successfully increase their information competence as a result of a purposeful intervention. As translation technologies have become a staple in the translation industry, the ability to interact with the Web to solve translation problems is now a basic market requirement. Although there is a growing body of empirical research into web search behaviors of translators and the use of web-based resources in translation, none of the studies aimed at incorporating information competence strategy training into a translation course. The study described in this volume aims to fill this gap. The book will be of interest to translator educators as well as to professional translators who want to improve their web search expertise. 280 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ferramonti di Tarsia was the largest internment camp in Southern Italy, both in terms of its size and number of internees - mainly Jews from Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia. An almost forgotten chapter of the Italian history, it served as an absurd and ephemeral meeting place of cultures, languages, religions, and traditions. Both as a fascist camp (1940-1943) and as a DP-camp under British mandate (1943-1945), Ferramonti experienced an intensive musical life, whose features and peculiarities are reconstructed in this book on the basis of personal and administrative sources. Musical practices and cultural behaviors proved fundamental for inmates¿ survival and preservation of their individual and collective identities. 230 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book focuses on contemporary staff-centred mystery novels set in the academic domain, written by scholars who enrich the generic convention of the detective novel with their academic expertise. The author delineates the academic mystery genre conventions and their connection with the characteristics of both the classical detective novel and the academic (university) novel. The analysis shows that the academic mystery novel not only fills in the classical detective formula with academic discourse, university settings, and the characters and conflicts of academics from different echelons of the university hierarchy but also, and more importantly, refers to and comments upon the current situation of tertiary education. 270 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book offers a view of the translation of a literary text as a reconstruction of the non-standard linguistic worldview embedded in that text, and emerging from the standard, conventional worldview present in a given language and culture. This translation strategy (and the ensuing detailed decisions) is explained via the metaphor of two icebergs, representing the source and target texts as iceberg tips, resting on the vast foundations of the source and target languages and cultures. This thesis is illustrated by analyses of English translations of two poems by Wis¿awa Szymborska, the 1996 Nobel Prize winner: ¿Rozmowa z kamieniem¿ (Conversation with a Stone/Rock) and ¿Chmury¿ (Clouds). 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In the latter part of the twentieth century, against the backdrop of the Sharpeville Massacre and the Soweto Uprising, theatre became a central means of artistic resistance in apartheid South Africa. One of the most significant plays from this time was Woza Albert!, which was created and staged by the actor-duo Percy Mtwa and Mbongeni Ngema, with the help and creative input of the renowned theatre-maker and political activist, Barney Simon. What made this protest play so powerful and provocative was the fact that it restaged the Christ-drama, as presented in the Gospels, in the context of apartheid South Africa. This book sets out to explore this performance of Christ during one of the darkest hours in South Africäs history, by turning to ¿ and offering an in-depth investigation of ¿ the theological dramatic theory of the Swiss Catholic theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasar. 246 pp. Englisch.
