Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage regroupe les compagnons de route intellectuels de Jean-Charles Asselain, professeur émérite de l'Université Montesquieu-Bordeaux IV, en un ' livre d'hommages ' à son rayonnement pédagogique et à son action de recherche. En effet, au fil de sa carrière, J.-C. Asselain n'a cessé de d…évelopper et de défendre la thèse d'une ' économie ouverte ', phénomène aux multiples facettes. L'ouverture économique est d'une part commerciale, à travers les échanges de marchandises et de services, d'autre part financière, à travers la mobilité internationale des capitaux ; mais elle est aussi humaine via les mouvements migratoires et concerne la diffusion des idées à travers la transmission des informations. Ce volume analyse les liens complexes unissant ouverture économique et croissance et se penche sur les débats interrogeant le degré pertinent de l'ouverture d'une économie. Jusqu'à quel point une croissance ' ouverte ' est-elle un bon levier de compétitivité Chaque économie, suivant son niveau de développement (son avance ou son retard), la nature de ses spécialisations et ses structures, entretient avec l'ouverture aux autres économies un rapport particulier. Les textes réunis explorent ces singularités dans une perspective chronologique évoluant du XVIII siècle à nos jours et abordent les problématiques orientées sur les flux de marchandises et d'argent entre les pays.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Als im Winter 2005 französische Jugendliche in den Pariser Vorstädten die Autos ihrer Nachbarn und Kollegen anzündeten, entflammten die Medien. Täglich folgten Meldungen zur «Welle der Gewalt» oder dem «französischen Feuer», den «Ich-AGs des Brutalismus» im «Krieg» oder dem «Aufstand der Frus…trierten». In Wort und Bild entwickelte sich ein semantischer Kampf, in dem die jeweiligen Medienakteure ihre Sachverhaltsbeschreibung durchzusetzen versuchten. Die vorliegende Studie geht mit sprachwissenschaftlichen Methoden der Frage nach, wie Sachverhalte im Mediendiskurs konstituiert werden. Sie zeigt auf den Ebenen der Ausdrücke und der kognitiven Konzepte die sprachliche Perspektivierung der «Unruhen» in den Zeitungen Die Welt, Neues Deutschland und Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Gegenstand der Arbeit sind Fragen der völkerrechtlichen Rechtmäßigkeit des Einsatzes militärischer Gewalt durch die NATO-Staaten im Kosovo-Krieg 1999 und durch die von den USA angeführte «Koalition der Willigen» im Irak-Krieg 2003. Es wird untersucht, ob der Einsatz militärischer Gewalt durch…den Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen autorisiert war. Dabei spielen Fragen der Auslegung von Sicherheitsratsresolutionen eine zentrale Rolle. Diskutiert wird auch die Frage einer Rechtfertigung des Einsatzes von Gewalt als humanitäre Intervention. Hinsichtlich sowohl der Auslegung von Sicherheitsratsresolutionen als auch der Frage der humanitären Intervention kommt es darauf an, ob die klassischen Regeln der Auslegung sowie der Entstehung und Veränderung von Völkergewohnheitsrecht durch die Herausbildung neuer völkergewohnheitsrechtlicher Normen geändert wurden. In diesem Zusammenhang setzt sich die Arbeit kritisch mit den völkerrechtlichen Ansätzen der US-amerikanischen Denkschule der sogenannten «Realisten» auseinander.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Der Autor untersucht in seiner Arbeit rechtshistorisch die wesentlichen Aspekte des Bodenrechts der Kolonie Deutsch-Südwestafrika, dem heutigen Namibia. Er erläutert zunächst die Grundzüge des Kolonialrechts und sein Verhältnis zur Rechtsordnung des Deutschen Reichs. Ausgehend von den verschie…denen Grundstücksarten und der dualen Kolonialrechtsordnung, die das für Nichteingeborene geltende Recht vom Eingeborenenrecht abgrenzte, werden hinsichtlich der Nichteingeborenen die Besonderheiten bei grundstücksbezogenen Rechtsgeschäften, im Enteignungs- und Steuerrecht sowie im Rechtsschutz vorgestellt, im Eingeborenenrecht die Beibehaltung des ursprünglichen Bodenrechts und die kolonialen Eingriffe ins «gemischte Recht», das beide Bevölkerungsgruppen betraf. Des Weiteren behandelt die Arbeit die Erschließung des herrenlosen «Kronlands» durch konzessionierte Kolonialunternehmen und die Landvergabe durch die Schutzgebietsverwaltung im Rahmen spezifischer Vertragsmuster, deren Klauseln die Einhaltung der bodenpolitischen Vorgaben durch die Ansiedler sicherstellen sollten. Abschließend wird der Wandel der Landverteilung im Rahmen der Dekolonisation vom Ende der Kolonialzeit bis heute skizziert.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Does contemporary Internet technology strengthen civic engagement and democratic practice The recent surge in online community participation has become a cultural phenomenon enmeshed in ongoing debates about the health of American civ…il society. But observations about online communities often concentrate on ascertaining the true nature of community and democracy, typically rehearsing familiar communitarian and liberal perspectives. This book seeks to understand the technology on its own terms, focusing on how the technological and organizational configurations of online communities frame our contemporary beliefs and assumptions about community and the individual. It analyzes key structural features of thirty award-winning online community websites to show that while the values of individual autonomy, egalitarianism, and freedom of speech dominate the discursive content of these communities, the practical realities of online life are clearly marked by exclusivity and the demands of commercialization and corporate surveillance. Promises of social empowerment are framed within consumer and therapeutic frameworks that undermine their democratic efficacy. As a result, online communities fail to revolutionize the civic landscape because they create cultures of membership that epitomize the commodification of community and public life altogether. 178 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the powerful role of popular culture in the daily online literacy practices of young people. Whether as subject matter, discourse, or through rhetorical patterns, popular culture dominates both the form and the cont…ent of online reading and writing. In order to understand not only how but why online technologies have changed literacy and popular culture practices, this book looks at online participatory popular culture from MySpace and Facebook pages to fan forums to fan fiction. Interviews and observations reveal the skills and practices students develop, as they sit multitasking at their computers, across popular culture genres and electronic media. For educators, the book provides significant insights into popular culture literacy practices, thus illuminating how students are making meaning and performing identity every day as they read and write online. 232 pp. Englisch.

Having participated in every peacekeeping operation set up during…the Cold War and lived through the fundamental changes the activity has undergone in the 1990s, Ottawa is currently struggling to define a viable approach to peacekeeping for the 21st century. As a timely contribution to this effort, the study reveals the overt and subtle ways in which Canadäs commitment to peacekeeping has contributed to the promotion of vital national interests in the past and might continue to do so in the future. 138 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ioan James celebrates the extraordinary contribution made by Jewish people in mathematics and physics, from the mathematician Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics, to distinguished nuclear physicist and Nobel Prize-winner Niels Bohr. H…e tells the life-stories of thirty-five men and women, born in the nineteenth century, who were at the forefront of research in the closely related fields of mathematics and physics, often in the face of various kinds of anti-Semitism.Some were caught up in the trauma of the Nazi accession to power in Germany and the Second World War. Wolfgang Pauli, described as 'greater than Einstein' by his contemporary Max Born, became a German national following the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938 but was able to escape to the United States for the duration of the war. Already hampered by anti-Semitism in his native Poland, logician and mathematician Alfred Tarski found himself stranded in the USA at the outbreak of war and did not see his wife and sons until the war's end. The Italian mathematician Vito Volterra publicly opposed Mussolini's Fascist regime at considerable personal risk. Others such as George Pólya and Emmy Noether found that their left-wing political beliefs hindered their careers. 314 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Modernism on Sea brings together writing by some of today's most exciting seaside critics, curators, filmmakers and scholars, and takes the reader on a journey around the coast of Britain to explore the rich artistic and cultural heritage th…at can be found there, from St Ives to Scarborough. The authors consider avant-garde art, architecture, film, literature and music, from the early twentieth century to the present, setting the arrival of modernism against the background of seaside tradition. From the cheeky postcards marvelled at by George Orwell to austere modernist buildings such as the De La Warr Pavilion; from the Camden Town Group's sojourn in Brighton to John Piper's 'Nautical Style'; from Paul Nash's surrealist benches on the promenade in Swanage to the influence of bunting and deckchairs on the Festival of Britain - Modernism on Sea is a sweeping tour de force which pays tribute to the role of the seaside in shaping British modernism. The essays in this book were inspired by the 'Modernism on Sea' conference that was held at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea in July 2007. 272 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There is an old phenomenon in theatre arts: Education! And there is a new tendency: theatre arts for the very young! The relationship to education is clear, but what about the profit for the arts The world of children as a horizon of experie…nces The role of music as a dramaturgical element Is it needed to divide the performance in actors and spectators Is there a special age for a successful reception How much should theatre artists be confronted with the physical and psychological development of children It seems that Theatre for Early Years is a work in progress. There are more and more examples on the stages of the world: In Europe, in the States, in Australia. A variety of different perspectives are included in this research in performing arts from birth to three. The authors are reflecting their work, their observations, their directorship - to discover a new audience, to accompany the new generation in aesthetics, to make the signs of the time transparent. And maybe the development of Theatre for Early Years is a new challenge to renew the language of theatre, to establish an art of simplicity for the complexity of theatre. 202 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book was awarded The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand Book Prize in 2010.Art continues to bemuse and confuse many people today. Yet, its critical analyses are saturated with daunting analyses of contemporary art's exha…ustion, its predictability or its absorption into global commercial culture. In this book, the author seeks to clarify this apprehensive perception of art. He argues it is a consequence not only of confounding art-works, but also of the paradoxical impetus of a culture of modernity. By positively reassessing the perplexing or apprehensive features of cultural modernity as well as of aesthetic inquiry, this book redefines the ambitions of art in the wake of this legacy. In the process, it challenges many familiar approaches to art inquiry in order to offer a new understanding of the aesthetic, social and cultural aspirations of art in our time. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the German literary establishment considered the novel the contemptible entertainment of the uneducated. By the end of the century, the novel had eclipsed the epic poem as the most appropria…te genre for depicting humankind and its preoccupations. The story of the novel's emergence as a respected and productive artistic genre is intimately bound up with the vicissitudes of the most popular of all German baroque works, Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's (1621/22-1676) Der abentheurliche Simplicissimus: Teutsch (1668/69). Between 1756 and 1785, Simplicissimus quietly found its way into bookshops three times in radically different forms, in adaptations that were not, as critics have asserted, arbitrary, but quite purposeful. This investigation discusses the ways in which this canonical text was reworked to reflect the thinking of leading - and warring - Enlightenment aestheticians. At the genre war's end, the novel emerged triumphant and Simplicissimus adaptations had been instrumental in securing the victory; the multi-faceted Simplicissimus had served as a vehicle for reifying theoretical positions in the conflicts. For, as the social and aesthetic climate shifted radically, Grimmelshausen's work not only survived, but took on new life in the most important literary campaign of the century. 255 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Shortlisted for the Anne Bloomfield Prize 2010Across the ninety years of its history, the University of New Zealand (1871-1961) appointed four women professors to the academic staff. From the outset, while the 'woman professor' was an… insider to the Academy based on her qualifications and professional credentials, on the basis of her gender she was a relative outsider to this deeply patriarchal institution. Accordingly, academic women, and in particular this first generation of women professors, were officially invisible both to their (male) colleagues and to the institution. This is not to suggest that the presence of a 'woman professor' was unproblematic or that she sat easily on the margins of men's scholarly worlds. This book traces the personal and professional histories of each woman professor and examines their contribution to the expansion of higher education for women. On the basis of extensive archival research in New Zealand, England and the United States, the author uses Bourdieu's notions of 'habitus', 'field' and 'capital' to analyse this intellectual community of women and the professionalisation of academic work. The book rehabilitates the 'woman professor' from the margins of historical scholarship and offers an insight into a forgotten aspect of the history of women's higher education: the history of women and the professoriate. 242 pp. Englisch.

At a time when Gothic studies still concentrated on traditional European and American Gothic, the author laid the foundations for the exploration of how… Gothic conventions were transported and transformed in places remote from Europe. Through a detailed reading of 19th- and 20th-century examples of Canadian and Australian Gothic fiction, this work demonstrates the transformative potential of a once much-maligned mode in what were arguably neglected national literatures. 262 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Written in memory of Alfred Cahen, Honorary Professor at the Université libre de Bruxelles and Ambassador of Belgium, this book is inspired by the main stages of his career: European integration, the transatlantic partnership and rela…tions between Belgium and her ex-colonies. The focus is on transatlantic relations and the place of Europe in international relations between 1945 and 1973. The role played by the United States in the post-war reconstruction of Europe and the evolution of the transatlantic partnership from Truman to Nixon are first examined. The authors then portray attempts to achieve European military integration - with an emphasis on the evolution of the Western (European) Union -, the saga of the Multilateral Force and the difficulties associated with the creation of a nuclear Europe. The final chapters deal with Belgian Africa and the project of the European Political Community and explore relations between Belgium and her ex-colonies.Écrit en hommage à Alfred Cahen, Professeur honoraire à l'Université libre de Bruxelles et ambassadeur de Belgique, ce livre est inspiré par les jalons principaux de sa carrière - construction européenne, partenariat atlantique, relations entre la Belgique et ses anciennes colonies. L'ouvrage se focalise sur les relations transatlantiques et la place de l'Europe dans les relations internationales de 1945 à 1973. Il insiste premièrement sur la place des États-Unis dans la reconstruction de l'Europe d'après-guerre, et dresse le tableau de l'évolution du partenariat atlantique de Truman à Nixon. Il dépeint ensuite les tentatives d'intégration militaire européenne, y compris l'évolution de l'Union (de l'Europe) occidentale, les péripéties de la Force multilatérale et les difficultés de la création d'une Europe nucléaire. Il met enfin l'accent sur l'Afrique belge et le projet de la Communauté politique européenne et explore la relation entre la Belgique et ses anciennes colonies. 329 pp. Französisch, Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Three institutions that are of particular importance to Basque history and culture form the main subject of this book: the baserria (the Basque farmstead), the cofradía (the fraternity of fishermen) and the txoko (gastronomic society)…. In this study the three institutions are seen as windows; once we look through these windows, we get an opportunity to see the larger picture - namely the structural components of a rich plebeian culture and moral economy. While the investigation of baserri culture provides insights into Basque rural life and the radical changes that occurred with industrialization, the cofradía allows the reader to see the connection that the Basque Country has with the sea. The third institution, the txoko or sociedad gastronómica, represents a more recent and urban phenomenon and reflects an effort to come to terms with urbanization and the anonymous forms of modern life. The book closes with some reflections on cultures that have been somewhat reluctant to modernize. 208 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Albert Venn Dicey (1835-1922) was elected to the Vinerian professorship of English Law in the University of Oxford in 1882. Dicey established himself as a great expert on constitutional history when in 1885 he published his Introduction to t…he Study of the Law of the Constitution, a major classic on the British constitutional system. Dicey's writings have achieved an almost canonical status, and his views are judged almost entirely on this volume. However Dicey developed his views further and extensively in a series of lectures he delivered in the late 1890s in which he focused his thoughts on the sovereignty of Parliament, the relationship between Parliament and the people, and the role of constitutional conventions. Dicey would not defend every detail of the British Constitution, but was quite prepared to consider certain constitutional innovations, such as the principle of referendum to give special status to Constitutional Acts, or that the House of Lords should have more representative legitimacy. Dicey also toyed with the idea of a Constitutional Convention as a basic form of protection for constitutional rules: he argued about constitutional safeguards to remedy the defects of the party system and recognised the adaptability of an unwritten constitution to changed circumstances. All these aspects of Dicey's thought are reflected in these lectures, published here for the first time. 174 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book proposes an alternative modernist tradition, a line of writers captured by the archaeological project and the poetic possibilities it created. This tradition spans from Théophile Gautier's mid-nineteenth-century passion for…Egyptology to Charles Olson's literal excavations on the Yucatan peninsula in the 1950s. With attention to the historical development of archaeology, the author argues that the archaeological became a rich site of cultural fantasy, a location where modernity's alternatives could be considered, imagined, and transcribed. These models, taking their cue from new archaeological dynamics, include the ushering of primal intensities into the present, the tapping of the subterranean unconscious, and the decipherment of an original poetic language. Ranging from psychic excavations to the reactivation of political templates, the plumbing of the archaeological landscape became a key posture in modernist development, which the author pursues through the work of both twentieth-century modernists and their nineteenth-century substrata. Ambitious in scope, this book provides a compelling argument about the role of archaeology in the modernist literary imagination and the century-long evolution of the poetics of excavation. 214 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book presents a new and stimulating analysis of restructuring by developing a European perspective. Developing the capacity to anticipate change is a complex dynamic, involving the global strategies of firms, and the capacity of…the actors at enterprise and territorial levels. The book provides a clear analysis of the capacity of the actors, through different models of industrial relations and corporate governance, to intervene in the process of restructuring. It identifies the conditions of anticipation and the need to better articulate European policies. The research also shows the need to adopt a multilevel and multiplayer approach in order to adapt to the new strategies of the firms. The multidisciplinary approach of the research underlines different perspectives: the political challenges of the European Union, the legal and social implications related to the employees' representatives, trade unions and European works councils, and the sociological dimension in the process of restructuring and of anticipation. The aim is to develop a multilevel and multiactor analysis and to propose guidelines for actions at European level. 436 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What does it mean to 'belong' to an online community What happens to the body in cyberspace How has the Internet been theorised: as a site of liberation, duplicity, threat In her reading of cyberculture studies after the affective tur…n, the author argues for a new cyberculture studies that goes beyond dominant cultural narratives of the Internet as dystopian or utopian space, and pays attention to the ways in which online culture has become embedded in everyday lives. The book intervenes in narratives of virtual reality to propose that the Internet can be re-read as a space of fantasy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The essays assembled in this volume focus on philosophical questions regarding various aspects of communication. They are predicated on the author's conviction that communication between human beings, regardless of the many difficulti…es involved, is something of sufficient importance to justify a patient philosophical exploration such as that embarked upon here. Interwoven with philosophical considerations readers will find insights gained from psychoanalytical thinkers such as Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva. The essays address a wide range of themes. Sometimes they concern fundamental things, such as the question of the very possibility of communication or the indispensable function of communication in sexual relations. The communicational significance of a certain kind of architecture is scrutinized, as well as that of images in our media-saturated, postmodern world, together with the connection between the latter and the experience of identity today. Other essays concentrate on communicational phenomena such as seduction and Kristeva's notion of 'revolt', the difficulties surrounding communication in the age of 'Empire', and the reappearance of communicational sophistry as a theme in contemporary cinema. 239 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of philosophical essays addresses important issues in the arts, encompassing painting, sculpture, photography, film and architecture. The author's point of departure is the conviction that art in all its manifestations… is an extremely significant cultural practice because it embodies a creative, reflective appropriation of social, political, economic, religious, historical and ecological developments, and as such merits close philosophical scrutiny, reflection and interpretation. The question of whether painting is still a viable artistic practice in our technocratic society is considered here, and it is no accident that both this issue and that of artificial intelligence are approached from the perspective of the phenomenological thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, among other thinkers. Equally important is the consideration of the relationship between art and the ethical, as highlighted by significant recent artistic events, as well as discussion of the transformational influence of ecological art and the culturally symptomatic meaning of kitsch. Other themes discussed include play and artistic tradition, formulating a suitable model for art 'beyond' Kierkegaard's aesthetic and ethical models, the meaning of 9/11 for architecture, and Lyotard's claim that today only an aesthetic of the sublime, instead of the beautiful, can help us make sense of art. 241 pp. Englisch.
