Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines some of the criteria against which translated fictional and non-fictional works are assessed. It not only provides a novel cross-cultural insight into reviewing practices, assessing how translations are reviewed differently in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, but it also compares the way in which reviewers for different platforms assess translated works, from a popular platform open to reviews from the general public, through mainstream broadsheets and cultural supplements, to specialised literary magazines.The book takes its inspiration from The Translator's Invisibility: A History of Translation, in which Lawrence Venuti examines the reviewing of translations and contends that fluency is the main criterion against which translations are read and assessed by reviewers, ultimately rendering the translator «invisible». The book therefore provides a timely and thorough update to Venuti's study and offers insights into the status of translation in book reviews.

Yeats, Austin Clarke, Derek Mahon, Tom Mac Intyre, Seamus Heaney, Brian Friel, Dermot Bolger, Paula Meehan, and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. The tale, known in Irish as Buile Suibhne, captivates with its intricate layers of liminality.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'This is not the H. P. Lovecraft we thought we knew. Lovecraft is a great writer and a famously difficult thinker, and Pedersens provocative and highly original argument is that he is fundamentally a figure in the European Romantic tradition, with close affiliations to Wordsworth and Coleridge, Byron and (especially) Keats. This is a fascinating book about which serious readers of Lovecraft will be arguing for years.' (Professor Darryl Jones, Trinity College, Dublin) This book offers a fresh perspective on the twentieth-century American weird fiction author H. P. Lovecraft and argues that the gentleman of Providence was a Romantic at heart. The book takes a philosophical approach and draws on Lovecrafts essays, fiction and letters as well as poetry. Along the way, the reader is introduced to Lovecrafts relationship with wonder, his aversion towards the cold light of reason, his teetotalism and his love of gardens, contemplation, joy, the dramatic, the strange, the foreign and the beautiful. Also, the reader is privy to an exploration of Lovecrafts wonder-evoking tropes, the idea of dark wonder and what he called the Dunsanian Conjuration. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -White supremacy and American-style individual autonomy are mutually supportive and co-dependent. Attacking white racism will not dislodge white supremacy, which the author contends is the greatest danger facing America. That can only be accomplished by making concurrent and significant modifications in American individualism. Yet, white supremacist thinking, feeling, and acting and American individualism are protected by what the author describes as The White Supremacist Collective Unconscious, a culturally determined mental construct that Americans assimilate as they grow into adulthood, which endows all Americans, regardless of race, with a white supremacist mental orientation to one degree or another. Drawing on his personal experiences as an African American growing up in the United States, and on his research, the author details the development and workings of that unconscious, and the impact of white supremacy on the national character.In this provocative, personal, and engaging volume, so timely in its intervention, Ronald Richardson gives us a new way of looking at ourselves, how we came to be, and the inescapable role white supremacy has played in the unfolding.Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard UniversityThis is a brave and candid book centered on the psychology and vexed history of race and the white ascendency in the United States. The gaze is unblinking, the analysis rigorous, and the conclusions judicious. Professor Richardson has composed a most impressive study, drawing on the provocative ideas of varied thinkers-among whom Fanon, Jung, Kierkegaard, Kakuzo Okakura-and his own experience, stretching from childhood to youth to distinguished scholar.David Mayers is Professor, History Department, Political Science Department, Boston UniversityLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 270 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The literary legacy of Ernest Hemingway is irredeemably linked to modern art and bullfighting. The American writer found in impressionism and cubism different pictorial techniques that he translated into narrative art. Bullfighting was one of the thematic cornerstones of his work and left an indelible print on his way of understanding life and death. The book connects these two important elements in Hemingway¿s work, showing how he underlined certain aspects of bullfighting through the use of narrative strategies inspired in modern art. In this sense, it may be argued that Hemingway represents the fiesta almost using brushstrokes instead of words. The book also deals with one key element in his portrait of bullfighting, knowledge, and this in a twofold sense: on the one hand, shedding light on how Hemingway started to understand this tradition, and, on the other, revealing its condition of source of prestige and survivalLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 98 pp. Englisch.

The subject of the study is the involvement of the Labour Movement of Trinidad and Tobago in party politics during most of the 20th century. The familiar theme of labour movement-political party collaboration is in the tradition of the many fascinating studies on the links between the British Trades Union Congress and the Labour Party of Great Britain. An admirable feature of the book is the extensive use the author makes of newspaper sources of the period.»(Dr. Roy Thomas, former Director of the Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies, Trinidad and Tobago)«Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh's well-researched book is a very serious attempt to place on record the origins and development of our political and electoral history prior to the granting of adult franchise in 1946 and after World War Two. This book provides extremely valuable information to all our citizens who are interested in the journey from colonialism to Republicanism.»(Ferdie Ferreira, former member of the Seamen and Waterfront Workers' Trade Union, retired Deputy General Manager of the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago)This book is an analysis of the involvement and impact of Trinidad and Tobago's first major labour organisation, the Trinidad Workingmen's Association (TWA), and early trade unions in politics.Furthermore, the author focuses on the role of unions in the evolution of working class consciousness from its rudimentary stages to the subsequent rise of organized trade unionism of the post-1937 era.Consideration is given to the seminal role of the early trade unions as mobiliser and organiser of the working class both for participation in electoral politics, and as a catalyst for ethnic cohesion in the post-World War One era to 1976.One of the major conclusions in the study is that the early working class organizations and emergence of ideologically strong trade unionism and ad hoc groups as the electioneering campaign committees were the precursors of the well-organized political machinery of the post-World War Two era.The author provides evidence that the comprehensive organisational skills of Labour in organizing meetings, selecting candidates, campaigning for votes and debating issues on the electoral platform were determining factors which resulted in creditable performances in limited electoral victories in elections during 1925 to 1976.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 286 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With the growing recognition of the need to broaden the definition of Interactional Competence (IC) for communication and learning, this monograph offers the first book-length treatment on the conceptualization, development and validation of IC assessment instruments. Combining psychometrics with discourse analysis, highlights of the book include: 1) evidence that a holistic IC construct - encompassing the sequential, emotional, logical, moral and categorial dimensions - can be assessed reliably, 2) a practical IC rubric that is adaptable to diverse languages and contexts, 3) demonstration that L2 speakers can have stronger IC than L1 speakers. The book argues that IC needs to be taught and assessed for both L1 and L2 speakers to promote fairness in language education.In this superb, meticulously designed, intellectually coherent book based on awardwinning scholarship, David Wei Dai takes the reader on a riveting journey tackling key challenges in assessing Interactional Competence. Ingenious and groundbreaking; there is no looking back.(Talia Isaacs, University College London)David Wei Dai's book is an exemplary study of test development and validation.

Neuware -«In a world where environmental challenges, education and activism converge, this is an important addition to the field of art and early childhood education. It identifies a post qualitative research approach and provides an ethical alternative to the difficult and urgent challenges facing future artist educators and researchers in Ireland today.»(Dr Dervil Jordan, Emeritus Professor of Education, NCAD)«This thought-provoking book is an essential read. Lucy's aesthetic lens offers a fresh perspective for early years professionals' as it reveals the infinite richness of children's learning with materials. It is full of AHA moments on the artfulness of everyday moments, you will think differently about the material world.»(Mary Skillington, Lecturer, Atlantic Technical University, Ireland)This work suggests that art has more to offer education than diverting activities grounded by ideas of human exceptionalism. Posthuman perspectives of everyday playful activity in Early Childhood Education and Care, can offer alternative ways of seeing and understanding nature/culture entanglements. Tuning in to young children's play with materials through a posthuman theoretical lens, can orientate adults' attention toward the innate artfulness of young children's everyday moments of learning and growth. This perspective reveals how such moments of intensity and learning always occur in complex relation with diverse others, human and non-human, natural and technological, living and non-living. This emphasises the undeniably rich, yet easily overlooked, relationship with the material and social complexities of the world, upon which all human learning and growth relies.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 262 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The book presents the results of an empirical study on the relationship between Afrikaans language, identity and ethnicity from the perspective of sociolinguistics. More specifically, it deals with the Coloureds of Cape Town born after the end of apartheid (in 1994). As a methodological approach, several interviews were conducted in order to find out, from the point of view of the South Africans themselves, how these relationships take place and socially occur. The linguistic variety of Afrikaans known as Kaaps (spoken by the Coloureds) became one of the most important points of discussion since it reflects the identity of the group referred. Issues such as linguistic choices, ethnic and linguistic prejudice, as well as rejection of non-standard forms of speech came to the fore in the research.Amazing study about the 'in-betweenness' of coloured substandard Afrikaans speakers, navigating between black native English speakers, the prestige language of post-apartheid South Africa, and white speakers of Afrikaans, the 'language of apartheid'.(Peter Rosenberg, Europa-Universität Viadrina).Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 222 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -During the process of European Integration, the European Union (EU) has progressively been established as a model of a 'Europe without borders', in which free movement is guaranteed for its citizens. Cross-border cooperation in EU border regions has largely contributed to the implementation of this model. However, in the context of poly-crisis, where re-bordering is a frequent measure employed by EU Members States, this 'Europe without borders' is largely being questioned. This publication collects the different contributions to the Jean Monnet Network 'Frontières en mouvement' (Frontem) between 2019 and 2023. They critically assess five models of cross-border cooperation in Europe: the Franco-German model of European integration, the Franco-Belgian model of an open border, the model of an invisible border on the Isle of Ireland, the Danish-German model of minority management and the Hungarian-Romanian model of cooperation for Central Europe. An overall comparison to the US-Canadian border also tests the applicability of these models to other areas in the world.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 644 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This volume explores the political life of rage as it has been experienced and mobilized in the Francosphere since 1968. If mai is remembered as a failure to convert insurrectionary feeling into lasting political change, the vast number of activist groups who have alchemized their anger into resistance over the past fifty years are a testament to the continued, necessary role of rage in political life.This volume traces the various morphologies of anger across French-language literature, thought, cinema and activism. From Black feminisms to punk, flamboyance to suicide, cacophonous sound to riotous song, the contributions probe the aesthetics and politics of rage. This collection also examines the uneven legitimization of political anger - how rage is allowed to be expressed, by whom and in which contexts. Rage is often dismissed as inimical to proper academic inquiry: what unites the contributions in this publication is a commitment to thinking with feeling.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 262 pp. Englisch.
