Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Sociology - Media, Art, Music, grade: 1 (A), University of Leeds (Culural Studies department), course: Media Theory, language: English, abstract: In many parts of our world today people dream a dream of magic and illusion, prosperity and happiness, which is essentially an American dream, exported by the wizards of branding, by companies like McDonald's, Nike, Coca-Cola and especially The Walt Disney Company (WDC). Known for being `the inventor of modern branding' and `modern synergy', the Disney company `has managed to insinuate its characters, stories, and image as good, clean, fun enterprise into the consciousness of millions around the earth'.The WDC today boasts revenue of more than $25 billion from its operations in media networks, consumer products, studio entertainment, Internet, and parks and resorts, and employs 120,000 people worldwide. Furthermore, it can be seen as `the single most powerful and influential force in the globalization of Western culture'. Having themed parks in California (Disneyland, Anaheim), Florida (Walt Disney World, Orlando), France (Disneyland and Disney Studios Paris), Japan (Tokyo Disney Resort), China (Hong Kong Disneyland), and as rumours suggest having plans for parks in Shanghai and Delhi, Disney spreads its `value-laden environments' across the world. Thereby, it is `extending and expanding Classic Disney - `the Disney universe' or `Disney vision' - into a material and physical existence, as well as 'providing a strong dose of All-American ideology'. Since the theme parks `contribute significantly to Disney's overall corporate goals, providing ongoing revenues and promotion for other parts of the corporate empire' it is worthwhile to closer examine the parks which are viewed by many observers as `showcases for postmodernism' and `panegyrics to capitalism'.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2001 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: 1 (A), University of Leeds (Department for Communication and Cultural Studies), course: Communication & Cultural Studies, language: English, abstract: After, what has been a `very long, uneven and complicated process and is currently called globalisation', world capitalism and the underlying system of sovereign states have become `the first historical system to include the entire globe within its geography'. The brands, images, and the cultural output of transnational companies of mainly North American origin are flooding almost every part of the world. What George Ritzer has called McDonaldization, `the rationalization of everyday interaction and individual identity' - the principles of a fast food restaurant that `more and more sectors of society are adopting transforms national economies into one global, interdependent economy'. As a consequence, activities, which were previously carried out within a national or regulated international framework, will from now on be carried out globally, in accordance with the needs of the global marketplace, which is steadily growing. By 1980, it was estimated that there were over 10.000 transnational corporations of all national origins, and by the early 1990s more than three times as many.In the media sector the vision or the nightmare of a global business would look like this: one single mega-corp, which delivers down its cable, to our homes, every intellectual morsel (it thinks) we need. The films, sit-coms and documentaries it has made; the news it makes; the information and e-mail services it controls; the chat-rooms it monitors and the celebrities it has made famous. In the following this essay will examine how true this fantasy of total control is in reality by looking at two German conglomerates, KirchGruppe and Bertelsmann AG, which are currently expanding in Europe and the United States. Furthermore, the cultural effetcs of globalisation will be looked at in this context.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Cultural Studies - European Studies, grade: 86, University of Leeds (Trinity & All Saints College), course: National and Global Culture, language: English, abstract: For at least the last two-and-a-half decades, critical theory in the humanities and social sciences has been concerned, amongst other things, with exploring the myths and fictions of nationalist thought. Instead of the coherence of 'imagined communities', or even the unity of the individual subject, it emphasises the multiple, shifting, fragmented and often contradictory modes of identification that characterise what are referred to variously as the 'postmodern', 'postcolonial', 'posthistorical' or 'postideological' conditions of the contemporary world. Yet recent history, specifically the decade following the end of the Cold War, has seen a rise in nationalist sentiments and struggles, and numerous wars have been fought over inclusive and exclusive conceptions of identity. Far from disappearing, arguments about national belonging and cultural difference have had increased prominence in the 1990s. In Europe, the reunified Germany, which had been at the centre of the ideological struggle between the East and the West during the Cold War has seen a resurgence of nationalism often manifested in aggression and discrimination against minorities. Contemporary bias crime in Germany increased significantly after reunification and remained at a relatively high, though fluctuating, level for the past decade. As a consequence, Germany today is not only struggling to come to terms with its National-Socialist past but also with the recent uprisings in nationalism and xenophobia and competing demands of difference and unity as it seeks to reconstruct itself in more humane and equitable ways. These issues are no less relevant today as we approach the end of 2007 - one year after a celebrated World Cup event, were Germany proclaimed 'Zu Gast bei Freunden' - a year which saw racist incidents against minorities at so-called 'Volksfesten' and other places erupt once again. In the following pages an attempt has been made to examine the causes and roots of the lasting crisis in German society by putting forward economic, psychological, political, historical, and cultural explanations.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: 80, University of Leeds (Trinity & All Saints College), course: Cultural Analysis, language: English, abstract: At the beginning of the new century the perception that we are living at a time of deep change, in practise as well as in thought, is widespread. In recent years the social and human sciences proclaimed that we are entering a time of 'endism', a period of post-capitalism, post-industrialism, post-socialism and above all of post-modernism and post-modernity. The number of different 'post' labels suggests a deep uncertainty about the present as well as the future and agreement between the different theories exist only in the view that 'things are not what they used to be'. In the following, this paper aims to examine in what sense we might be living through posthistorical times.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: 81/100, University of Leeds (Trinity and All Saints College), course: Advanced Cultural Analysis, language: English, abstract: By a general sense, 'globalisation' has been referred to the emergence of a 'global cultural system'. It suggests that 'global culture' is brought about by a variety of social and cultural developments such as the existence of a world satellite information system, the emergence of global patterns of consumption and consumerism, the cultivation of cosmopolitan life-styles, the emergence of global sports such as football and cricket world cups, spread of world tourism, the decline of the sovereignty of nation-states, world wide health problems such as AIDS, establishment of systems like League of Nations, United Nations and more importantly, the global consciousness of a single space - the 'global village'. Much academic labour has been expended on the question of whether globalisation in itself means homogenisation, or whether we are seeing a much more complex process of proactive and reactive patterns emerging, sometimes giving prominence to levelling factors, at other times privileging local, regional or national adaptive, transformative or oppositional countercurrents - or possibly even giving rise to multicultural arrangements and practices or different strategies of identity negotiation. It has been noted that the emerging global culture is not only homogenising but also creating new forms of literature, music, and art, in which, for example, the former colonies 'write back' - to use the expression of Edward Said. Salman Rushdie is perhaps one of the most prominent examples, mixing traditional Indian myths and experiences with cosmopolitan London views. Also, new music emerges in cosmopolitan centres like Paris and London and also in Germany - where, amongst others, African, Afro-American, Asian and European rhythms, styles, languages and dialects meet. This hybridisation of cultures is being discussed here in more detail by examining the music genre of hip-hop and its development in Germany.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Miscellaneous, grade: 80 - very good, University of Leeds (Leeds Business School), course: Interpersonal Communications, language: English, abstract: As the world is more and more becoming a 'global village', meaning that goods, people and ideas move more easily and frequently between places, it has become of great importance for successful businesses in the international arena to employ a range of staff that are able to communicate effectively with people from different national and cultural backgrounds. It has been said that 'effective communication is the hallmark of dynamic, productive leadership' (Fisher, 2002). Furthermore, a dynamic leader is one who not only takes responsibility for what he or she says, but for how it is heard and experienced by others. By definition, communication is the exchange of thoughts, messages or information. More importantly however, our oral communications are revelations of who or where we are in any given moment, whether directly or indirectly expressed. An effective communicator is described to be a person 'who has the ability to detect and use such revelations to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome' (ibid.) for all parties involved.In the following, this essay aims to establish what steps an individual can take to become a more effective communicator with a range of people from different countries. Firstly, we will be looking at the meta-dimension of culture, where people's different behaviours, values and worldviews are formed to better understand sources for potential conflict between different cultures. Then, we move on to the interpersonal dimension of communication by introducing the Johari window model, which illustrates relationships in terms of awareness. Following from this, we will be looking at individual's different learning styles and motivational factors which have an influence on interpersonal work relations. Subsequently, more concrete advice for effective communication, such as how to behave assertively in negotiations, is given.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: 82, University of Leeds (Trinity and All Saints College), course: National and Global Culture, language: English, abstract: It has been argued that individual and national identities are becoming increasingly fragmented under conditions of globalisation, that with accelerated global flows of commodities, culture and people, we become increasingly disembedded and rootless. It is argued here that amid this increasing fragmentation, or perhaps in reaction to it, certain narratives work to anchor national identities and local culture in what is perceived to be tradition. This paper examines the relationship between globalisation and the construction of national and local identities in the advertisements of several Western and non-Western countries, like Canada and Germany and Malaysia, Thailand and Ladakh in the western Himalayas. In this paper advertising is being seen as a part of the culture industries, which play an important role in the creation of community. In many scholarly accounts it has been asserted that globalisation and the spread of multinational corporations and their products and services are leading to a homogenisation of cultural diversity and to an increasing uniformity of tastes, fashions and thoughts around the world. The globalisation of advertising, which we are going to look at in the following pages, however, produces different outcomes for national and local cultures and identities in many cases.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Cultural Studies - European Studies, grade: 1 (A), University of Leeds (Cultural Studies department), course: Carnival, language: English, abstract: Carnival, as an ideal type identified by Cohen, 'is a season of festive popular events that are characterized by revelry, playfulness, and overindulgence in eating, drinking and sex, culminating in one or two days of massive street processions by masqued individuals and groups, playing or dancing ecstatically to the accompaniment of loud and cheerful music. Also, every carnival is a place in which 'hegemonous and opposition political formations [.], alliance and enmity, consensus and conflict are expressed like a grand joking relationship'. In the light of this it is worthwhile to examine contemporary carnivals as movements of cultural production and places of cultural policy and contestation. In this case study the author focusses on a very recent offspring of carnival culture, which has in a short period of time outnumbered the traditional carnivals in London's Notting Hill district and Trinidad, and has at one time been the biggest street dance event and youth meeting in the world. The Love Parade in Berlin, initially held as a birthday party for a Berlin DJ, Dr Motte (Mathias Roeingh) in 1989, has developed from an underground electronic dance music event (or better demonstration) and the voice of the (German) techno and rave scene, often referred to as 'Generation X', to a mass event with 1.5 million visitors in 1999. Today, the parade, has been turned into a 'global brand' with offshoot events held in Vienna, Mexico City, Leeds, Tel Aviv and plans for parades in Cape Town and Hong Kong. In the following the origins, the increasing commodification and the cultural as well as political significance of the Love Parade are being examined.

Postkarte. Condition: Gut. Postkarte von Florian Mayer bildseitig mit blauem Edding signiert, Unterschrift berieben /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Florian Mayer (* 5. Oktober 1983 in Bayreuth) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Tennisspieler. Biografie 2001 bis 2007: Zwei ATP-Finals und Viertelfinale in Wimbledon Mayer schloss sich 2001 dem Profizirkus an. Seinen Durchbruch schaffte er drei Jahre später, als er bei den Australian Open 2003 als einziger Deutscher die erste Runde überstand; in Runde zwei schied er dann gegen den Argentinier David Nalbandian aus. 2004 erreichte er auch bei den French Open die zweite Runde, indem er die Nummer 14 der Welt, Fernando González, besiegte. Bei den Estoril Open stand er im April 2004 erstmals im Halbfinale eines ATP-Turniers. Beim Turnier von Wimbledon drang er 2004 mit Siegen über den an Nummer 3 gesetzten Argentinier Guillermo Coria und über Wayne Ferreira bis ins Viertelfinale vor. Damit verbesserte er sich auf einen Platz unter den besten 50 der ATP-Weltrangliste. Bei den IDEA Prokom Open in Sopot stand er im August 2005 kurz vor seinem ersten Sieg bei einem ATP-Turnier, doch er verlor das Endspiel gegen Gaël Monfils in drei Sätzen. 2006 erreichte er erneut das Finale von Sopot und unterlag diesmal Nikolai Dawydenko. Im Achtelfinale der Gerry Weber Open in Halle besiegte er dann 2007 Dawydenko, schied im Viertelfinale allerdings gegen Marcos Baghdatis aus. Mayer trainiert in der Tennisbase des Bayerischen Tennisverbands in Oberhaching bei München.[1] Er trennte sich zum Ende der Sommersaison 2005 von seinem langjährigen Trainer Ulf Fischer, arbeitete dann vorübergehend mit Stefan Eriksson.[2] zusammen und wurde dann zeitweise von Markus Wislsperger trainiert. 2008 bis 2009: Lange Pause und Comeback in die Top 100 Mitte Mai 2008 beendete Mayer bereits sein Tennisjahr: Er legte nach einer Operation am linken Zeigefinger eine siebenmonatige Turnierpause ein, um die Lust am Tennis wieder zurückzugewinnen.[3] Deshalb rutschte er in ATP-Weltrangliste auf Platz 409 ab. 2009 feierte er große Erfolge auf der ATP Challenger Tour. Er gewann dort die Turniere in Bangkok, Karlsruhe und stand in Nouméa, Sofia und Istanbul jeweils im Finale. Am Jahresende war er 61. der ATP-Weltrangliste. 2010 bis 2013: Erster Titel, Wimbledon-Viertelfinale und Top 20 der Welt 2010 unterlag er im Halbfinale von Hamburg, einem Turnier der ATP World Tour 500, dem späteren Turniersieger Andrei Golubew. Bei den Grand-Slam-Turnieren in Melbourne (gegen Juan Martín del Potro) und Wimbledon (gegen Lu Yen-hsun) verlor er jeweils in der dritten Runde. Außerdem gewann er im ersten Quartal zwei Hartplatzturniere der ATP Challenger Tour (Nouméa und Sunrise). Er erreichte nach Siegen über Kevin Anderson und Michail Juschny die dritte Runde der Shanghai Rolex Masters. Dort scheiterte er in zwei Sätzen an Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Sein nächstes Turnier bestritt Mayer in Stockholm. Nach Siegen unter anderem über Feliciano López sowie den Weltranglistenfünften Robin Söderling erreichte er zum ersten Mal seit über vier Jahren wieder ein ATP-Finale. Dort unterlag er jedoch dem topgesetzten Roger Federer. Er beendete die Saison mit einer Matchbilanz von 23:18 und erspielte sich 513.955 US-Dollar an Preisgeldern. Er begann das Jahr 2011 mit einer Viertelfinal- und einer Halbfinalteilnahme in Brisbane und Sydney. Beim ersten Grand-Slam-Turnier des Jahres in Melbourne konnte er Nikolai Dawydenko in vier Sätzen besiegen, ehe er in der zweiten Runde ebenfalls in vier Sätzen an Kei Nishikori scheiterte. Beim Hallenturnier von Zagreb erreichte Mayer sein zweites Halbfinale der Saison, in dem er Landsmann Michael Berrer in zwei Sätzen unterlag. In Dubai spielte er sich bis ins Viertelfinale vor, das er in zwei Sätzen gegen den späteren Turniersieger Novak Ðokovic verlor. Nach einer Erstrundenniederlage in Indian Wells erreichte Mayer beim Miami Masters das Achtelfinale, wo er im Tiebreak des entscheidenden Satzes an Tomá? Berdych scheiterte. Im April 2011 spielte er sich in München bis ins Finale vor, doch wie schon fünf Jahre zuvor in Sopot musste er sich in drei Sätzen Nikolai Dawydenko geschlagen geben. Zwei Tage später bestritt er in Madrid sein Erstrundenmatch gegen Viktor Troicki, das er in drei Sätzen für sich entscheiden konnte, in der zweiten Runde schied er gegen den späteren Halbfinalisten Thomaz Bellucci aus. Mayer konnte seine gute Form auch ins Masters-Turnier von Rom mitnehmen und das Viertelfinale erreichen. Dort brach er nach gewonnenem ersten Satz gegen Andy Murray komplett ein und unterlag am Ende deutlich in drei Sätzen. Mayer war dann auf dem Weg zum fünften deutschen Triumph beim World Team Cup in Düsseldorf der entscheidende Spieler Deutschlands - er gewann alle seine Einzel. In der Weltrangliste rückte er damit erstmals in die Top 20 vor. Bei den darauf folgenden French Open verlor er in der zweiten Runde nach gewonnenem ersten Satz gegen Alejandro Falla. In Halle kam er bis ins Viertelfinale, das er gegen Gaël Monfils verlor. In Hamburg schied er im Viertelfinale in zwei engen Sätzen gegen Nicolás Almagro aus. Nachdem er bei den US Open erstmals die dritte Runde erreicht hatte, konnte Mayer beim letzten Sandplatzturnier der Saison in Bukarest im fünften Anlauf mit einem glatten Finalsieg über Pablo Andújar seinen ersten ATP-Titel gewinnen. Im Achtelfinale von Shanghai schlug er den damaligen Weltranglistenzweiten Rafael Nadal in zwei Sätzen.[4] Mitte des Jahres erreichte er mit Rang 18 seine bislang beste Weltranglistenplatzierung. 2012 erreichte Mayer mit einem Viersatzsieg über Richard Gasquet zum zweiten Mal nach 2004 das Viertelfinale in Wimbledon. Anschließend erreichte Mayer am Hamburger Rothenbaum das Viertelfinale, wo er sich Tommy Haas in zwei Sätzen geschlagen geben musste. Auf die Olympischen Spiele verzichtete Mayer, um sich auf die nordamerikanischen Hartplatzturniere zu konzentrieren. Dafür wurde er in den Medien stark kritisiert. Die US Open waren für Mayer bereits mit der ersten R.
