Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -By the early 2000s, women in Ireland were arguably freer than any past generation to shape their sexual lives amidst the social freedoms of a globalised society. The Salley Gardens presents reflections from seventy-three heterosexual young women on growing up, forming sexual relationships and some becoming mothers in the last years of the «Celtic Tiger». The authors explore their hope and despair about what it means to be a woman, to use their agency, within the inescapable tensions of newly wealthy Ireland. Their efforts to build their sexual lives are complex and the significant problems they encountered remain unresolved.Women¿s search for agency is woven into our complex history and continues to reverberate. The bewildering juxtapositions young women faced fifteen years ago have intensified in the present. Then and now, we face conflicts with social expectations of our lives as sexual women, caring women, partners, wives, and mothers.Turning our older history in Ireland towards an exuberant resistance enables us to illuminate the limitations of the female identities imposed by contemporary Ireland. The Salley Gardens helps us rethink what we mean by agency and resistance, revaluing women¿s actions as we endeavour to value our own lives. 338 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This interdisciplinary volume brings together articles by researchers in the humanities and the social sciences analyzing the emergence of communities in the age of globalisation. The different contributions deal with the complex network of cultural, political and symbolic spaces that coalesce around commonly held causes or interests and examine ways in which these sets of connections impact on their members¿ everyday lives, shaping attitudes and behaviours which transcend (or at least claim to transcend) the limits of the nation state, creating common spaces, communities, or at times both.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 138 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Elusive Celt departs from previous work in the wider ethnomusicological field about traditional Irish music within its home contexts and the English-speaking main destination countries of Irish emigration, by adding a central and eastern European perspective on perceptions of Irish musical culture and images of «the Celtic» Specific attention is given to influences of recent European history on these perceptions. Detailed ethnographies of community music-making contexts in six different countries from the Baltic to the Bosphorus, along both sides of the former Iron Curtain, introduce the reader to cultural intimacies of local community musicians with a long-term dedication to playing traditional Irish music. The emerging images differ widely from common stereotypes. The reader gains an insight into processes of how musical and extra-musical detail is communicated between local native Irish and non-Irish musicians at these locations, for which Rina was able to draw on her knowledge of different European languages. 210 pp. Englisch.

The five new essays in Decoded, written by innovative scholars in the fields of British literature and African Diasporic studies, bring together the most original and current analysis of Smith¿s novels and literary criticism since the release of Smith¿s NW (2012).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Tifo refers to the artistic renderings that supporters at football/soccer matches perform. This can involve large banners, coordinated mosaic displays, and pyrotechnics. Originating in Europe, the tradition has spread across the world and to other sports. Tifos vary in size, content, and execution, but all emerge from the desire supporters have for signaling and displaying their collective community, specific identities, and extensive devotion to their clubs. Fans fashion tifos to communicate publicly about identity, sense of place, past success, politics, and heated rivalries. Their assorted content makes tifos a distinctive form of fan-generated communication. Traditionally, supporters display tifos only momentarily before football/soccer matches. Yet they have become increasingly complex, sophisticated, and competitive¿requiring dozens of people to create them, financial investments usually from fans to procure the materials needed to finance them, and on-site, in-stadium coordination to display them. These factors contribute to a unique, complex, and globalized form of fan communication that captures not only the obvious and intended messages of tifos, but also demonstrates the effort and devotion needed to execute them. This book examines the history and evolution of tifos, their social significance for clubs, places, and communities, the identities and associated affiliations they discursively perform, and the explicit and implicit symbolism they contain. Given the demanding practices surrounding the development and execution of tifos, and their overall captivating nature, this book should appeal to a broad audience including students and scholars working in sport as well as fans of it.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 204 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The subsequent volume revolves around the Social-Fields-Approach (SOFIA) as an approach to conceptualization and operationalisation for the purpose of empirical research. It contributes a new perspective and approach in research on innovation. We believe that SOFIA can have implications for both academic research and practical applications in reshaping the existing instruments and governance arrangements in innovation policy. Whilst applying SOFIA, we urge researchers to leverage the plurality of different qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches in innovation studies, including less conventional methods, such as QCA (Ragin, 2008). Diligent application of SOFIA can also subsequently lead to the development of high-level theoretical contributions. 160 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The articles included in this book deal with various aspects of international migration analyzed from different methodological perspectives. What unites this collection of articles is that they deal with peripheral borders, separating rich and poor regions of our globe. They analyze the challenges and problems faced by the European Union and its member states, including Spain and Poland ¿ states with external sea and land borders of the EU. The position of a peripheral country causes a number of problems related to illegal immigration, experienced by Poland and Spain alike. The United States face a similar problem on the border with Mexico. Undoubtedly, as a result of migration pressure, both the European Union and the United States increasingly resemble a besieged fortress. 222 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -¿New Readings in British Drama: From the Post-War Period to the Contemporary Erä offers new readings of British plays produced after the Second World War by underlining the fact that literary theories have never been stagnant and exhausted in the field of drama as part of literary studies. Scholarly editions focusing exclusively on contemporary drama and its critical readings are still a rarity, as contemporary literary scholars tend to neglect drama in favour of fiction. Therefore, our contributors have attempted to examine the works of Tom Stoppard, Caryl Churchill, Sarah Kane, Roy Williams, Mark Ravenhill, Thomas Eccleshare, Anders Lutsgarten and Jackie Kay from the perspectives of the major theories by emphasising how key theoretical approaches can help elucidate theatrical texts and their performances from a contemporary critical standpoint. 152 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -South Asia is strategically located with amazing topography, enormous natural resources, extremely hardworking human resources, and is home to some of the oldest religions and civilizations. Yet despite all the blessed features, the nearly two billion people are left behind on every account of development due to unnecessary wars and conflicts. The present state of this sub-region is primarily a result of the enduring rivalry between India and Pakistan that spans over seven decades and four decades of continued wars and conflicts in Afghanistan. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that South Asia Needs Hybrid Peace more than ever before to avoid catastrophic outcomes of another major conflict between nuclear neighbours and the resurgence of terrorism around the globe.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 118 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Irish songwriter, Thomas Moore (1779-1852) enjoyed enormous popularity during and after his lifetime and his celebrity was summed up by his friend, Lord Byron, who declared him: «The poet of all circles and the idol of his own». Yet, despite his seminal role in the development of Irish national song, few modern editions have been made available and none focus on the earliest piano arrangements published during Moore¿s lifetime and the decades following his death. This new critical edition collects together for the first time in one volume selected original arrangements of the world-famous Irish Melodies for solo voice and duet along with other successful English-language songs to texts by Moore and foreign-language settings by Schumann, Mendelssohn, Berlioz and Duparc. Several aspects were considered in choosing songs such as their historical significance as well as their usefulness to the performer and impact in performance and the beauty of the vocal content and the partnering accompaniments. The Thomas Moore Songbook will appeal to a broad spectrum of academics, practitioners and teachers of singing as well as those with a deep interest in Irish history, culture and heritage.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 134 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In dieser Dissertation wird die Notwendigkeit eines Minderheitenschutzes bei Mehrheitsbeschlüssen im Recht der Personengesellschaften untersucht. Denkanstoß für diese Abhandlung war das BGH-Urteil vom 21.10.2014 (Az.: II ZR 84/13), in welchem allem Anschein nach ein Paradigmenwechsel in Sachen Minderheitsschutz vollzogen wurde. Während die Rechtsprechung bisher in erster Linie auf die Regelungsinstrumente Bestimmtheitsgrundsatz und Kernbereichslehre zurückgegriffen hat, scheint sie künftig alleine auf die Treuepflicht abstellen zu wollen. Die Arbeit beleuchtet die einzelnen Regulierungsinstrumente zum Schutz von Minderheitsgesellschaftern. 244 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu.

Die vorliegende Publikation arbeitet die bestehenden Rechtsunsicherheiten im Bereich der Transparenz- und Dokumentationspflichten methodisch-analytisch auf, um hierdurch einen Beitrag zu einer transparenten und ¿ soweit möglich ¿ sicheren Rechtspraxis zu leisten.

Im Ergebnis wird aufgezeigt, dass das Verständigungsgesetz trotz seiner weiten Auslegung in der Revisionsrechtsprechung informelle Absprachen nicht verhindern kann.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 220 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das Testament stellte den wohl wichtigsten Rechtsakt im Leben eines römischen Bürgers dar. Diese zentrale Bedeutung des Testaments für die antike römische Gesellschaft ist nicht nur aufgrund der literarischen Überlieferung erschließbar, sondern wird vor allem auch durch die eindrucksvolle Masse an Rechtstexten zu diesem Thema belegt. Das kunstvolle Regelungsgeflecht, welches gewährleisten sollte, dass der «letzte Wille» Wirksamkeit erlangte, sowie die Frage, wie die Grundsätze des Testamentsrechts praktischen Niederschlag in den überlieferten Dokumenten fand, war Gegenstand einer internationalen Tagung im November 2020.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Qui sont et que font les acteurs de la représentation d¿intérêts travaillant à Bruxelles Avec environ 12 000 organisations inscrites au registre européen de transparence et des budgets croissants, le lobbying constitue une réalité concrète et tangible du fonctionnement de l¿Union européenne. On sait pourtant très peu de choses sur celles et ceux qui exercent cette activité.Cet ouvrage collectif entend combler ce manque et éclairer les transformations récentes du paysage européen de la représentation des intérêts. En examinant les pratiques et les trajectoires sociales des lobbyistes évoluant à Bruxelles, les recherches empiriques rassemblées ici lèvent le voile sur un univers souvent fantasmé. Croisant données qualitatives et quantitatives, elles explorent des structures et des secteurs d¿activité variés : très grandes entreprises, fédérations européennes, cabinets d¿affaires publiques, ONG, syndicats, intervenant sur la régulation financière, les secteur portuaire et pharmaceutique, les politiques sociales, du marché commun ou encore de concurrence. À travers le portrait sociologique des lobbyistes, cet ouvrage met en lumière leurs relations d¿interdépendance avec les acteurs politiques et institutionnels et leur rôle dans la fabrique de l¿action publique européenne.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 314 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Warren Buffett once opined that 'only when the tide rolls out do you discover whös been swimming naked.' In a similar vein, American Sport in the Shadow of a Pandemic focuses on how communication practices, structures, and principles change when a key locus¿sport¿has much of its cultural and political-economic power disrupted. How intertwined is the economic viability of an American collegiate institution to the communicative enactment of the regular staging of collegiate sports What proportion of a sports media contract is for the competition itself, as opposed to the documentation of fans being 'fanatic' as they witness contests live and in-person Who and what is deemed most disposable, and how do such decisions play out for athletes of different genders, races, and abilities Questions such as these form the core foci of this volume. As many have observed, out of crisis comes opportunity. In this instance, this volume provides an opportunity for leading scholars of communication and sport to consider which principles should be rethought or reconceptualized based on the effects of the pandemic on our culture, politics, and economy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 346 pp. Englisch.
