Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Bernd Rosemeyer, der weltberühmte Autorennfahrer der 30er Jahre, galt nach seinem Unfalltod 1938 als Vorbild für Generationen von rennsportbegeisterten Anhängern weltweit. Dass seine Rennkarriere eng verbunden war mit seiner Mitgliedschaft in der SS, ist zwar seit langem bekannt, wurde aber selten problematisiert. Rosemeyer wird bis heute weithin als unpolitischer Mensch dargestellt, der gezwungen gewesen sei, sich mit den Nationalsozialisten einzulassen, um überhaupt die Möglichkeit zu haben, als Rennfahrer auftreten zu können.Das Buch untersucht die genaueren Umstände der Verstrickung Rosemeyers in den Nationalsozialismus und wendet sich gegen eine Fortsetzung eines unkritischen Rosemeyer-Kults. Anlass für diese Studie ist die geplante Eröffnung eines privaten Rosemeyer-Museums in Lingen. 112 pp. Deutsch.

Pourtant, dans les coulisses des tendances générales, d'anciennes vulnérabilités persistent et de nouvelles inégalités émergent. Mêlant contributions théoriques et empiriques, cet ouvrage porte sur un aspect largement occulté en sociologie de la vieillesse, celui des inégalités sociales dans la dernière étape du parcours de vie. Il interroge notamment les nouveaux modèles du ' bien vieillir ' et du ' vieillissement actif ' en portant l'attention sur les conditions de réalisation socialement situées de ces modèles. Il propose également un regard réflexif sur les travaux sociologiques dans le domaine du vieillissement en questionnant, du point de vue historique, leur rôle dans le processus d'invisibilisation des effets de classe dans ce champ d'étude et en montrant comment les perspectives issues des études de genre ouvrent la voie à un renouveau des analyses en terme de classes dans le cadre des approches intersectionnelles. 254 pp. Französisch.

Charter schools were discussed in varied forms throughout the 1980s, but it was not until 1991 that the State of Minnesota put charter school law into practice. Thomas Lubben entered the charter school world in 1996 when the State of Pennsylvania was in the process of discussing its law that was passed the same year. The Charter School Wars closely follows the personal life of a lifelong educator as he negotiated the political and personal steps involved in creating a school from nothing. The first several chapters focus on the obstacles and pitfalls that the author faced during the seven-year struggle to create a charter high school based on the creative and performing arts. Later chapters focus on the expansion of this proven artistic model into additional schools. Lubben compliments the personal narrative with a chapter, 'A Charter School Primer,' that focuses on the critical elements needed to open a charter school. Charter school parents, teachers, administrators, and enthusiasts will find this book an interesting and poignant read as they navigate their way through the charter school landscape. 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -European cultural policy is based on the exchange of artists. It has devoted decades to the objective of encouraging dialogue and enabling cooperative production; especially between the countries of the so-called 'Global North' and 'Global South'. Cultural policy makers and agents in Europe, such as those working in cultural institutions and at the ministries responsible for cultural relations, constantly stress their claims of a 'dialogue of equals'. However, if and how cultural cooperations really are in practice brought to life on equal terms is an open question. Annika Hampel analyzes the working conditions of partnerships to understand how current artistic collaborations function, what structures and processes they involve, on what premises and within what frameworks the collaborators work, and what challenges they have to cope with.The foundation of her reflections are the experiences and insights of actors in cooperative projects who are responsible for the implementation of the goals of the European Cultural Policies in practice. Annika Hampel uses five case studies, which offer insights across the spectrum of artistic cooperation, to display the wide range of Indo-German collaborations in the arts. From her analysis of the practical reality, Annika Hampel develops and proposes cultural and political measures to foster a new culture of international cooperation on an equal footing. The author shows how to minimize power relations, promote cultural diversity, and exploit the underused potential of cooperative work. 284 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Communities for Social Change: Practicing Equality and Social Justice in Youth and Community Work examines core ideas of social justice and equality that underpin community and youth work. It informs understanding of a range of community concepts and practices that are used to identify practical skills and characteristics that can help to promote equality by challenging injustice. Working with people in different types of community can bring the kind of social change that makes a real and lasting difference. Although justice is a contested notion, Annette Coburn and Sinéad Gormally assert that it is closely interlinked with human rights and equality. A critical examination of contemporary literature draws on educational, sociological, and psychological perspectives, to set community practices within a context for learning that is conversational, critical and informal. Social justice is about identifying and seeking to address structural disadvantage, discrimination, and inequality. The authors assert that by refocusing on process, participation, and collective rights, it is possible to create and sustain social justice. Transformative research paradigms help to produce findings that inspire and underpin political social action, and an analysis of practice-based examples supports the promotion of increased critical consciousness. This makes Communities for Social Change a must-read for anyone studying or teaching community youth work or who is working in communities or with individuals who experience oppression or inequality. If you are committed to teaching and learning about theory and practice that promotes social change for equality and social justice, you will not be disappointed! 188 pp. Englisch.

Der Autor nutzt als stoffordnendes Prinzip seine Theorie des österreichischen Kultur-Codes, um sinnstiftende Zusammenhänge zu bilden, die das Zusammenwachsen einer Literatur zeigen, welche aus vielen Kulturtraditionen besteht. Die multinationale Herkunft verleiht dieser Literatur eine Verwandlungsfähigkeit, die ihr die Überbrückung der Katastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts ermöglichte. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen zwei aufeinander eingestimmte Bewegungen, die Moderne und die Postmoderne, welche das Bewusstsein der österreichischen Literatur geprägt haben. Der Autor analysiert die charakteristischen Merkmale dieser Bewegungen unter anderem anhand der Werke von Arthur Schnitzler, Robert Musil, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka, Elias Canetti, Paul Celan, Ingeborg Bachmann und Peter Handke. 206 pp. Deutsch.

Ces jeux prennent la forme de serious games mais aussi de jeux de rôles, de jeux de simulation, de jeux de plateaux, de jeux de construction, de stratégie. Les transformations du capitalisme et des approches managériales peuvent conduire à penser que le jeu devient un média, privilégié ou tout au moins adapté, aux réquisits en entreprises que sont par exemple l'autocontrôle, l'évaluation de soi et de ses pairs, la régulation, l'engagement ou encore le maintien continu de l'attention dans un contexte d'intensification du travail.Incluant règles et limites, souvent orienté vers un objectif de performance et de réussite, doté de qualités simultanées de légèreté et d'apprentissage, le jeu s'avère congruent avec l'injonction plurielle à la rigueur, au développement de soi et au plaisir à avoir au travail, portée par certaines doxa de management. L'entreprise aurait alors tout intérêt à investir l'énergie du joueur et son engagement dans le jeu au profit du travail.Ce sont ces structures et mécanismes de jeu, leurs formes, leurs appropriations ainsi que leur exploitation au sein des organisations de travail que cet ouvrage se propose d'étudier. Rassemblant des chercheurs de disciplines diverses (sociologie, anthropologie, sciences de l'information et de la communication, psychologie.), il approche de manière volontairement critique la gamification en milieu professionnel et en interroge tant le sens que les fonctions et l'efficience. 202 pp. Französisch.

Yet, despite public controversies about 'fake news' and 'misinformation', there has been very little discussion on techniques of propaganda. Building on critical theory, most notably Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model, Florian Zollmann's pioneering study brings propaganda back to the forefront of the debate. On the basis of a forensic examination of 1,911 newspaper articles, Zollmann investigates US, UK and German media reporting of the military operations in Kosovo, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Egypt. The book demonstrates how 'humanitarian intervention' and 'R2P' are only evoked in the news media if so called 'enemy' countries of Western states are the perpetrators of human rights violations. Zollmann's work evidences that the news media plays a crucial propaganda role in facilitating a selective process of shaming during the build-up towards military interventions. This process has led to an erosion of internationally agreed norms of non-intervention, as enshrined in the UN Charter. 290 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The PEERS program proposes international exchanges adapted to the context of teacher training institutions wishing to take advantage of internationalization in order to link training, research, and practice. PEERS is based on the completion of Research and Innovation (R&I) projects during the academic year, during which international groups of professors and students from teacher training partner institutions collaborate remotely as well as during two placements of one week. For the students, the PEERS program aims to develop competencies in distance collaboration with the help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the management of intercultural groups, and the continuous improvement of their activities through reflective thinking and the spirit of research. For the professors the PEERS program aims to better link research and training, to reinforce their skills in the management of international research projects and to foster opportunities for international publications. The aim of this collective book is to give an overview of the Issues, case studies and perspectives of the PEERS program. The first section entitled 'Issues, Opportunities, and Challenges for the Internationalization of Teacher Training in a Globalized, Multicultural, and Connected World', focuses on the foundations and general features of PEERS projects, as well as the context of globalization in the intercultural and connected world in which it is situated. The second section, 'Case Studies and Lessons Learned from the PEERS Project in Southern Countries' constitutes a series of chapters presenting case studies on PEERS projects focused on innovation and cooperation in the developing world. The third section, 'Results of Research-Oriented PEERS Projects,' considers the results from PEERS projects that have enabled the implementation of theoretical and practical educational research, generally taking the form of small-case research studies or innovations in the design of teaching units. Finally, in the conclusion we propose to present the key points of the three sections that make up this book 'Linking Research and Training in Internationalization of Teacher Education with the PEERS Program: Issues, Case Studies and Perspectives'. 372 pp. Englisch.

This book examines the classification of conjunctions and similar words of other classes. It reviews work done from the 19th century to the present on a wide range of languages, including English, German, French, Latin, Ancient Greek, Welsh, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Ute, and Abun. Most chapters treat conjunctions as opposed to one of the other traditionally recognized parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, adpositions, and interjections. The book's major focus is on the terminology used to describe words on or near the borders between conjunctions and other parts of speech, such as «deverbal conjunctions», «conjunctional adverbs», «prepositional conjunctions», and «so-called conjunctions». 164 pp. Englisch.

Sie bildet jedoch nur den ersten Schritt zu einer noch umfassenderen (literatur- und religionswissenschaftlichen) komparatistischen Betrachtung. Anstatt unmittelbar den tiefgründigen Bezug des Engelbildes der «Duineser Elegien» zum Islam zu behandeln, untersucht die Autorin die ein Desiderat wissenschaftlicher Forschung darstellende höchstindividuelle Affinität Rilkes zum Islam, welche in onto- und werkgenetischer Hinsicht von großem Belang ist, und analysiert deren poetische Spiegelungen. 222 pp. Deutsch.

L'objectif principal de cette recherche est donc d'étudier l'évolution des emplois des termes qui relèvent du champ conceptuel de la folie en mettant en évidence le jeu des concurrences qui se font jour dans ce réseau lexical, mais aussi de montrer comment les termes ont pu être diversement intégrés dans les structures syntagmatiques et dans les habitudes rhétoriques et stylistiques. La naissance et le développement de la littérature courtoise enrichissent considérablement l'aire sémantique de fol en raison d'un nouveau jeu d'oppositions lexicales, qui fait son apparition au milieu du XII e siècle : des termes tels que preu/cortois et vilain/coart entrent en contact avec fol .

They also have provided new resources for researchers seeking to explore, observe, and measure human opinions, activities, and interactions. However, those using the internet and social media for research - and those tasked with facilitating and monitoring ethical research such as ethical review boards - are confronted with a continuously expanding set of ethical dilemmas. Internet Research Ethics for the Social Age: New Challenges, Cases, and Contexts directly engages with these discussions and debates, and stimulates new ways to think about - and work towards resolving - the novel ethical dilemmas we face as internet and social media-based research continues to evolve. The chapters in this book - from an esteemed collection of global scholars and researchers - offer extensive reflection about current internet research ethics and suggest some important reframings of well-known concepts such as justice, privacy, consent, and research validity, as well as providing concrete case studies and emerging research contexts to learn from. 346 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Conceptually, Molefi Kete Asante: A Critical Afrocentric Reader is a reflexive analysis of the editor's space in higher education over the past three decades. As a historical assessment, this reader is a narrative that offers a constructive perspective of Afrocentricity, as the sheer mention of the word draws reaction and fear from either uniformed or conventional personnel. The book organizes Asante's writings into four categories: history, mythology, ethos, and motif. Arranged theoretically, these are the four concepts that describe and evaluate culture from an Afrocentric perspective. This study offers an assessment of Asante's body of literature that continues to position the philosophy and ideals of the Afrocentric movement internationally. In the context of being a public intellectual, the core of Asante's analysis draws inferences in locating Africana occurrences in place, space, and time. Advancing this idea further, the purpose of these presages is to motivate scholars in the field of Africana studies to contribute to the intellectual history of W. E. B. Du Bois, Maria Stewart, Carter G. Woodson, John Henrik Clarke, and the countless others who have advanced Africana research and writing. For many cynics and associates, the scholarship of Asante has not been thoroughly vetted. Directly or indirectly, Asante offers a foundation of optimism in forming the outliers of breakdown and breakthroughs for victorious thought of an Afrocentric perspective. 260 pp. Englisch.

The first edition was the first of its kind, offering instruction on how to conduct culturally relevant critical research on Africana communities in the American context, in addition to the African diaspora. The revised edition contains a collection of the most widely used theories and paradigms designed for exploring, explaining, and advancing Africana communities through science. The relevance, strengths, and weaknesses of every major method of data collection are explained as they relate to the lived experiences of the Black world. It stands alone as the only textbook that details empirical methods in the service of the collective advancement of Africana peoples. 428 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Con este libro se ha pretendido hacer conscientes los elementos lógicos, lingüísticos y antropológicos subyacentes a la alegoría en Baltasar Gracián y en Walter Benjamin. Para ello hemos utilizado una disección y análisis independiente de los elementos que se dan en las formas literarias alegóricas en general, y de ambos autores en particular, basándonos en la lectura y estudio de sus obras y las de sus más importantes comentaristas. Esa disección ha exigido un tratamiento metodológico analítico y paratáctico de los conceptos de modo que es posible alterar el orden de los capítulos sin que se vean desnaturalizados los resultados o conclusiones de la investigación. El resultado ha supuesto la profundización ('epistemología') en los presupuestos y la naturaleza de la alegoría ('poética') como noción central en las obras de Gracián y Benjamin. 340 pp. Spanisch.

Jahrhunderts (Bild, Affekt, Inventio) unternimmt der Autor eine Neuinterpretation der «Johannespassion» Johann Sebastian Bachs. Konsequent wird dafür zudem erstmalig versucht, eine Synthese aus Quellen der Musikästhetik und der Frömmigkeitspraxis der Zeit herzustellen. Dies führt in der Tat zu einer gänzlich neuen Sicht auf das exemplarisch untersuchte Werk und zur Rekonstruktion vieler jener Ideen, welche das Textverständnis der Zeit nahelegen. 198 pp. Deutsch.

The preference for courts against informal settlements increased with the consolidation of the democratic legal state. Still, the compromise settlement remains the cultural ideal. The authors evaluate these circumstances in their extensive study of private disputes in the courts and of different types of individual settlements. They observed that the role of power behind these choices proved to be significant as people in better social positions are more inclined to use the courts and in worse social positions more inclined to deal informally with opponents in power. The ethnic factor surveyed in other former Communist countries is also related to the relative power of the different ethnic groups. The book investigates how institutional, social and cultural factors interact in shaping the dispute settlement patterns. 266 pp. Englisch.
