The aim of this book is to contribute to the discussion of citizenship through 'citizenship awareness', because the phenomenon of citizenship, which is sometimes included in other political and social theories in the Western literature, is an even less studied subject in the 'citizenship awareness' dimension. This book, while giving the opportunity to examine the views of academicians and intellectuals living in the modern and post-modern period on citizenship through a single text, provides the views of these individuals within the framework of 'citizenship awareness' to those who are interested in the subject with different comments and evaluations. 118 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ce livre s'inspire des expériences personnelles d'un diplomate espagnol qui a travaillé entre 1986 et 2013 à Bruxelles, auprès des institutions européennes et de l'OTAN. Dans un premier temps, l'auteur évoque son passage à la Commission Européenne, sous l'égide de Jacques Delors, au moment où la construction du marché unique battait son plein, l'Allemagne se réunifiait, la nouvelle Union s'élargissait vers l'Est, se projetant aussi vers la Méditerranée et l'Amérique Latine, et la paix au Proche Orient paraissait possible. Se trouvant auprès de l'OTAN le11 septembre 2001, l'auteur fut également un témoin privilégié du moment où le vent tourna et où l'Alliance, après avoir cru qu'elle pouvait se passer de sa politique de défense traditionnelle face à un agresseur unique et bien identifié, et initier une nouvelle étape centrée sur le maintien de la sécurité dans les Balkans, dut faire face à un tout autre ennemi : le terrorisme islamiste. Le dernier chapitre décrit les deux années pendant lesquelles, alors que Juan Prat était délégué de la Catalogne auprès des Institutions européennes, se propagea un mouvement promu par des groupes politiques séparatistes qui, s'appuyant sur les sentiments identitaires et une propagande bien montée, revendiquèrent l'indépendance de la région. Ce témoignage se conclut par des commentaires personnels sur la situation de l'Union Européenne, de l'OTAN et plus généralement du monde après la première pandémie du XXIème siècle, pour laquelle - encore une fois - personne n'était préparé. Tout cela dans un scénario nouveau avec, en toile de fond, la Chine prête à redevenir l'Empire du Centre, dans un monde en pleine effervescence. 202 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Winner of the Jake Harwood Outstanding Book Award (2022). What, exactly, is understanding And how do people create, maintain, and manipulate states of understanding via communication This book addresses these questions, drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship in cognitive science, communication, psychology, and pragmatics. Rejecting classic descriptions of communication as 'sending and receiving messages,' this book proposes a novel perspective that depicts communication as a process in which interactants construct, test, and refine mental modes of a joint experience on the basis of the meme states (mental representations) activated by stimuli in social interactions. It explains how this process, when successful, results in interactants' mental models aligning, or becoming entrained-in other words, in creating a state of understanding. This framework is grounded in a set of foundational observations about evolved human cognition that highlight people's intrinsic social orientation, predisposition toward efficiency, and use of predictive interference-making. These principles are also used to explain how codified systems ('codes') emerge in extended or repeated interactions in which people endeavor to create understanding. Integrating and synthesizing research across disciplines, this book offers communication scholars and students a theoretical framework that will transform the way they see understanding, communication, and social connection. 184 pp. Englisch.

This book is a description of how one education preparation program did both. This is the story of how they transformed their student teaching program, creating tools and structures that resulted in mentors and student teachers working together in new ways. At the heart of their model is an assessment tool-STAT, for short-used to track the growth and development of student teachers and guide conversations between the college supervisor, cooperating teacher and student teacher. Although this book describes Hope College's new student teaching model it is really about change. This story takes the reader through the complex change process of one institution, examining the loosely coupled dynamic between leaders and individuals. It describes the natural tension between support and autonomy as program leaders walk alongside individuals as they enact a new practice. This book is intended for teacher educators interested in a developmental model of mentor support, but also for those faced with the daunting task of making changes in their own program. There are lessons learned, however, that go beyond teacher preparation and may serve as a catalyst for others as they engage in their own change process. 186 pp. Englisch.

L'infatigable voyageuse et orientaliste Alexandra David-Néel (1868-1969) ouvre ce livre, que clôt Laura Alcoba (1968). Un siècle donc. Établies pour la plupart dans des territoires d'un entre-deux inconfortable, les écrivaines étudiées dans ce riche panorama de silhouettes féminines ont été amenées à cerner leur propre espace linguistique, littéraire et intime. Les approches critiques de ce volume se veulent également sans frontières. Stratégies d'écriture, liens méta- et intertextuels, affirmations identitaires, rapport à la langue comme à la sexualité ou aux origines structurent les différentes contributions de ce livre. Au niveau identitaire, les frontières sont franchies et dépassées. Alexandra David-Néel, Assia Djebar, Maryse Condé, Vénus Khoury-Ghata, Leila Sebbar, Latifa Ben Mansour, Maïssa Bey, Nancy Huston, Yasmina Reza, Laura Alcoba, auteures au regard distancié, liées par des parentés d'écriture et de fi liation, tissent dans la langue française de fabuleux métissages.

La publication des lettres adressées par Nathalie Sarraute, lors de son premier séjour en Amérique du nord, à son mari Raymond, du 1er février au 14 mars 1964, a fourni l'occasion de s'interroger sur le succès que remportèrent outre-Atlantique des romanciers ayant pour point commun de se détourner des modes traditionnels de narration.Les États-Unis ont en effet souvent reconnu avant la France les écrivains du « Nouveau Roman ». Ils y ont rapidement été traduits, on les y a invités, leur oeuvre y a rayonné alors qu'elle restait marginale dans leur pays d'origine.Des spécialistes de renommée internationale analysent les séjours que firent aux États-Unis dans les années 60 Michel Butor, Claude Simon, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Samuel Beckett, Claude Ollier, Marguerite Duras et Robert Pinget, ainsi que la diffusion et la traduction de leurs romans en Amérique du nord. Ils démontrent aussi la façon dont fonctionnaient les réseaux américains. La réactivité des universitaires, traducteurs, attachés d'ambassade, dans le domaine culturel, leur a permis d'être les premiers à détecter les avant-gardes. 190 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Autoethnography in Undergraduate Writing Courses blends narrative and analysis in an engaging and applicable account of how the genre of autoethnography can be a valuable addition or alternative to traditional research assignments. Many writing teachers struggle to motivate and equip students to conduct meaningful and effective research. Practicing autoethnography-the scholarly combination of personal reflection, artistic representation, and social/cultural research-provides an opportunity for students to research and write about something that genuinely interests them: their own experiences. A genre of personal writing, autoethnography is comparable to pedagogy pioneered by expressivists like Donald Murray, Peter Elbow, and Wendy Bishop, among others. However, combining personal writing with research-as autoethnography does-is more rare. Some compositionists have already used autoethnography in their own research and teaching, but this book demonstrates why more compositionists should consider adopting autoethnography into their pedagogy. The author shares his own experience teaching autoethnography at the undergraduate level, modeling its potential and demonstrating its impact. Written in a lively, conversational voice, the book presents substantial qualitative research, including samples of student writing, supplemented by student interviews and surveys. These data indicate that practicing autoethnography can have unusually, if not uniquely, positive effects on students' lives. Specifically, the author identifies and illustrates eight outcomes of practicing autoethnography: increased reflexivity, improved research and writing skills, greater awareness of ethical issues, critical empowerment, therapeutic catharsis, enjoyment, and the development of a sense of community. 212 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Conceived by Wagner as a way to recover the synthesis of arts at the core of Greek tragedy, the Gesamtkunstwerk played a significant role in post-Romantic and avant-garde aesthetics. It was designed to regenerate and defend the public function of art against mass culture and technology, yet at the same time depended on them in an ambivalent relationship manifested by its various realizations. The book reconceives the 'total work of art' as a variation of intermediality, a practice that subverts any essentialist vision of artistic languages through complex interplay and blending of perceptions, amplified by new media and the syncretic nature of the cyberspace. The Gesamtkunstwerk can no longer be considered a Hegelian synthesis of arts or a Romantic and Wagnerian fusion of languages: it involves a synergy of different arts and media and captures the digital age's principle of open textuality without any hierarchy and any organicist connotations. This book reveals the vitality of modern and contemporary Gesamtkunstwerk by mapping its presence in various arts and media. 286 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

In doing so, the authors of the book provide empirically grounded theoretical insight into the extent to which questions about media pluralism-broadly understood as the striving for diverse and inclusive media spheres-are an essential part of scholarly debates on democratic governance.The rise in recent years of authoritarianism, populism and nationalism, both in fragile and stable democratic systems, makes media pluralism an intellectual and empirical cornerstone of any debate about the future of democratic governance around the world. This book-useful for students and researchers on topics such as Media, Communications, Latin American Studies and Politics-aims to make a contribution to such debate by approaching some pressing questions about the relationship of Latin American governments with media structures, journalistic practices, the communication capabilities of vulnerable populations and the expressive opportunities of the general public. 282 pp. Englisch.

It should therefore come as no surprise that despite an initial reluctance, several television shows that aired during this period focused on the atomic and hydrogen bombs ('the Bomb') and their potential for destruction. Music and the Atomic Bomb on American Television, 1950-1969 is the first book to consider the important role that music and sound play in the destruction narratives about the Bomb on Cold War-era television. This book not only examines the television shows that deal with the nuclear weapons in various forms and genres, but also contextualizes these shows through an analysis of primary source documents such as government pamphlets and documents, newspaper and periodical reports, presidential records, composer and television production records, and informational trade paperbacks. 212 pp. Englisch.

The book is thoroughly grounded in rich empirical evidence gained through two phases of a funded research project conducted in the field.

By emphasizing our discussion on key issues and barriers as related to women in PR and their leadership advancement, the authors call for real actions and change to develop a constructive ecosystem within the organization to embrace leadership for women in PR. Given its sharp topic focus, wealth of empirical data, and the relevance of the topic to today's public relations profession, this book is suitable for different audiences both nationally and globally. Such audiences include but are not limited to public relations scholars, educators and professionals, both leaders and emerging leaders, men and women, young professionals, women of color, and public relations majors.

At each stage of decision-making about growing grapes, making wine, selling and drinking it, people with different roles are networked together into systems of production and distribution. The authors in this collection offer new studies of the individuals and groups who act as connectors in these networked systems, intermediating in the delivery of wine from growers' vines to consumers' glasses. These actors operate at multi-layered scales of geography or within multiple regimes of governance, all the while taking account of arbitrations of quality and taste. This collection highlights how intermediators in many different wine countries and periods of history are, and have been, significant agents of continuity and change in the wine industry. 222 pp. Englisch.

Das Buch untersucht auch, welche Wirkung für die Erinnerungskulturen das Symbolsystem Literatur hat, wie der gegenseitige Bezug zwischen literarischen Auslegungen vom Gedächtnis und Erinnerungskulturen aufzufassen ist sowie welche Funktionen und Wirkungsweisen die Literatur auf die Erinnerungskulturen hat. Schließlich setzt sich die Autorin mit der Frage auseinander, wie literarische Auslegungen zum Übermittler des kollektiven Gedächtnisses werden. 160 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Agiles Arbeiten bedeutet weit mehr als die Möglichkeit des Home oder Mobile Offices. Im unternehmerischen Kontext versteht man darunter den Einsatz agiler Arbeitsmethoden. Doch dieser stellt vor allem hierarchisch strukturierte Unternehmen vor arbeitsrechtliche Herausforderungen. Die Autorin beleuchtet diese anhand der derzeit meist genutzten agilen Arbeitsmethode, der Scrum-Methode. Während bei der unternehmensübergreifenden Anwendung die Vertragsgestaltung Bedeutung erlangt, um verdeckte Arbeitnehmerüberlassung und Scheinselbständigkeit zu vermeiden, liegt der Schwerpunkt bei der unternehmensinternen Umsetzung der Scrum-Methode im Betriebsverfassungsrecht. Dieses ist flexibel genug, um neue Formen der Zusammenarbeit zu erfassen und eine effektive Mitbestimmung zu gewährleisten. 162 pp. Deutsch.
