Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Using interviews with world-renowned and innovative hip-hop DJs, as well as technology manufacturers that cater to the market/culture, this book reveals stories behind some of the iconic DJ technologies that have helped shape the history and culture of DJing. More importantly, it explores how DJs have impacted the evolution of technology. By looking at the networks of innovation behind DJ technologies, this book problematizes the notion of the individual genius and the concept of invention. Developing a theory of «technocultural synergism,» this book attempts to detail the relationship between culture and industry through the manipulation, exchange, and rights associated with intellectual property. While the subject of hip-hop and intellectual property has already been well explored, this is the first time that hip-hop DJs have been conceptualized as intellectual property because of their role in the R&D and branding of DJ products. The book also addresses the impact of digital technology on the democratization of DJ culture, as well as how new digital DJ technology has affected the recorded music market. 246 pp. Englisch.

Providing a psychoanalytic reading of selected works it aims to examine the image of the house in Bowen's prose and to analyse its uncanniness in relation to the characters' identity. In her book, Olena Lytovka focuses on an important aspect of Elizabeth Bowen's fiction - the motif of the uncanny house. By applying the Freudian notion of the unheimlich to the analysis of selected novels and short stories, Lytovka demonstrates how the traumatic experience of loss is mirrored in the characters' perception of the domestic space as uncanny. The uncanny, she argues, is a reflection of the psychological condition of the perceiving mind in the state of crisis rather than the quality of the space. This insightful and well-researched study is a valuable contribution to Bowen criticism and will be relevant to literary scholars and students alike.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As we grow up and grow old, embrace new experiences, try new roles, and adopt new technologies, our senses of time, space, connection, and identity are fundamentally explored through communication. Why, how, with whom, and to what end humans communicate reflect and shape our ever-changing life span position. And while the «life span» can be conceived as a continuum, it is also one hinged by critical junctures and bound by cultural differences that can be better understood through communication. The chapters in this collection, chosen from among the invited plenary speakers, top research papers, and ideas discussed in San Juan, explore the multiple ways communication affects, reflects, and directs our life transition. Capturing the richness and diversity of scholarship presented at the conference, chapters explore communication technologies that define a generation; communication and successful aging; stereotyping and family communication; sexual communication and physiological measurement; life span communication and the digital divide; and home-based care contexts across the world, among others. 188 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume proposes a new, post-Newtonian alley in modern language and communication studies. The new linguistics receives here the label ecolinguistics, as the conceptual-terminological field founded on the 'ecological' metaphor seems optimal to formulate the thesis of human language being a life process, and involving a repertoire of ecosystemic, not exclusively cognitive or social, parameters. Communicators are living systems and as such they transpersonally co-build momentary meanings and communicational senses together with the rest of the communication field. The communication apparatus which is phylogenetically present in humans includes both the cognitive modalities and the noncognitive communication modalities. The ecolinguistic paradigm in modern linguistics offers new theoretical departure models for educational programs, for psychological/therapeutic interventions, or for self-exploratory and self-educational undertakings of a human communicator. 126 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A Curriculum of Wellness seeks to encourage a deeper discussion about teaching our children how to be healthy and live well. It makes a significant contribution to the field of education as it features influential curriculum concepts nuanced with action research principles in a unified, intimate, and deeply relational inquiry into physical education teacher practice. This work presents a very practical yet complex and wisdom-guided way to transform teaching practices that follow more holistic understandings of wellness. A new mode of curriculum inquiry, wisdom-guided inquiry, is presented, providing an opportunity to open up a fresh avenue to understand curriculum and become engaged in discussions that concern teaching, learning, and public education. An outstanding feature of this book is its transdisciplinarity. While the story is situated within physical education discipline, this book has implications for all teachers and teacher educators because it provides insights that encourage us to consider more carefully the subjective insights of teachers and to understand these as central to being and becoming a teacher. A Curriculum of Wellness is essential reading for curriculum and pedagogy scholars, teacher educators, teachers, and other health-related professionals to think differently about curriculum and pedagogy - making it a great option for many related graduate and undergraduate courses. 198 pp. Englisch.

The book draws attention to the group labeled as disabled, which is often marginalized, misrepresented, and misunderstood in the media, by analyzing the popular television programs Glee, Breaking Bad, and Parenthood. To obtain a more rigorous account of the way that youth (9-18 years of age) with disability are framed on television, this analysis examines the following issues: how research on popular culture is contextualized within social theory; the theoretical perspectives on representations of disability in popular culture; and the various contexts, genres, media, representations, and definitions of youth with disability in popular culture. The text also outlines the historical growth of disability, which is crucial for a discussion regarding the changing dimensions of popular culture. Critical hermeneutics, content analysis, and methodological bricolage are the mélange of methodologies used to closely examine the dominant models of disability (social vs. medical) used in the portrayal of disabled youth on television today. 158 pp. Englisch.

As much as he is lauded by fans, Perry is panned by cultural critics who reject his work as overtly preachy and rife with racially stereotypical characterizations and controversial themes. This book explores the vast chasm between his fans' adoration and the critical reception of his work: while some argue that Perry's brand of 'blackness' is little more than buffoonery, others claim he offers representations that are missing in entertainment choices, especially among niche audiences. He is applauded by some for offering films and television shows that are 'good entertainment', while others label his work trashy. He can be seen either as an oracle whose morality plays provide a gospel message of family healing, or as an actor with a misaligned worldview. This book asks: what are we to do with the 'problem' of Tyler Perry 258 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A century of education and education reform, along with more than three decades of high-stakes testing and accountability, reveals a disturbing paradox: education has a steadfast commitment to testing and grading. This commitment persists despite ample research, theory, and philosophy revealing the corrosive consequences of both testing and grading in an education system designed to support human agency and democratic principles. This revised edited volume brings together a collection of updated and new essays that confronts the failure of testing and grading. The book explores the historical failure of testing and grading; the theoretical and philosophical arguments against testing and grading; the negative influence of tests and grades on social justice, race, class, and gender; and the role that they play in perpetuating a deficit perspective of children. The chapters fall under two broad sections. Part I, Degrading Learning, Detesting Education: The Failure of High-Stake Accountability in Education, includes essays on the historical, theoretical, and philosophical arguments against testing and grading. Part II, De-Grading and De-Testing in a Time of High-Stakes Education Reform, presents practical experiments in de-testing and de-grading classrooms for authentic learning experiences. 314 pp. Englisch.

An indepth analysis of Scerbanenco's Duca Lamberti series constitutes the critical focus of this study, and in particular the psychological resonances of the role played by the author's controversial representation of the urban space, its violence, (in)justice and gender roles. In what way do these elements heighten and/or exaggerate the nature of the criminal acts and the reader's experience This study therefore investigates a reader's potential response to the content, the settings, and, above all, the characters Scerbanenco portrays in these four novels. 242 pp. Englisch.

The author inquires whether and how they are related to an ecologically sustainable use of the natural environment. Her main sources are ancient missionary texts, writings by Sámi and contemporary interviews with Sámi individuals. The traditional value system included ecological sustainability as a survival strategy. Beliefs and rituals, transmitted via stories, incorporated these values and transmitted a feeling of a round life, despite the strict rules for right behavior and punishment for transgressions. The term round symbolized a sense of safety, interconnectedness, reliance on mutual help and respect, identification and empathy with all living beings. 168 pp. Englisch.

It focuses on the problem of assigning gender to animal nouns. This problem is topical in view of the fact that in present-day English, gender is a marginal grammatical category and therefore recedes into the background in descriptions of today's English. Grammatical gender is a rare topic of research, scientific discussions or papers. The detailed analysis of gender assignment to animal names is based on two subcorpora: the English edition of National Geographic and the English edition of the Journal of Zoology. The book closes with a contrastive analysis of gender markers. 176 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Les guerres prennent souvent naissance dans les représentations mutuelles, les sentiments de haine réciproque et le désir de revanche des populations. Les jeunes se trouvent souvent en première ligne dans ce mécanisme. Au cours de la Première guerre mondiale, par exemple, les jeunes Européens se sont mutuellement entretués au rythme de 1000 personnes par jour. Conscients de ce phénomène, des pacifistes et des antimilitaristes ont proposé, dès le tournant des XIX e et XX e siècle, de faire de la jeunesse l'objet de leur propagande pour la paix. Leurs propositions ont rarement franchi le rubicond de la sphère politique. Il existe cependant au moins une exception : en 1963, les gouvernements français et ouest-allemand ont mis en place une politique ambitieuse de réconciliation centrée sur les échanges de jeunes. La plupart des auteurs qui se sont intéressés à cette politique publique ont adopté une perspective hagiographique. Cet ouvrage propose au contraire de normaliser cet objet d'étude en s'appuyant sur la méthode généalogique développée par Michel Foucault. Le livre étudie la genèse (de 1871 à 1963), la mise en oeuvre (de 1963 à 1973) et la révision (depuis 1973) de cette politique de réconciliation par la jeunesse. Il s'adresse autant aux personnes intéressées par cet aspect particulier du rapprochement franco-allemand qu'à celles qui veulent comprendre, d'une manière plus générale, l'intérêt et les limites des politiques de socialisation à la cause de la paix. 284 pp. Französisch.

Après les régions côtières, les bassins fluviaux sont la proie des pillards. Dans un premier temps, l'Empire carolingien résiste efficacement, mais à partir des années 840, affaibli par les conflits internes, la défense vacille. Les Vikings remontent les fleuves et leurs affluents, et pillent cités et monastères. Puis ils prélèvent des tributs et finalement certains décident de s'établir, sollicitant alors une reconnaissance officielle de la part du prince souverain du pays. Ainsi, en 911 à Saint-Clair-sur Epte, Rollon obtient de Charles le Simple Rouen et sa région. Ce sera la seule principauté viking qui ne connaîtra pas un destin éphémère. Pourtant, de ce chef scandinave fondateur de la Normandie et de son parcours, on ne sait finalement que peu de chose avec certitude. Était-il danois ou norvégien Cette question suscita la polémique. Aussi cette étude s'attache-t-elle en premier lieu à donner au lecteur accès aux sources, à savoir aux sagas, chroniques et autres écrits de l'Occident chrétien, qui gardent mémoire du chef viking. Au fil de l'exposé, on découvre les spécificités des différentes traditions historiographiques et des contextes géo-politiques et culturels d'où proviennent ces témoignages ; on découvre également comment les informations circulaient, traçant les contours d'une Europe allant de l'Islande à la Sicile. Et finalement, c'est un scénario qui s'affirme, celui du parcours de Rollon, au plus près de l'histoire. 242 pp. Französisch.

It is divided into three thematic parts. The first one presents regional and local transitional justice efforts, aiming at showing different mechanisms implemented within transitional justice mechanisms. The following part deals with the role and impact of international criminal tribunals set up to prosecute grave human rights abuses. The third part is devoted to the role of the international community in mass atrocity crimes prevention. The contributions prove that transitional justice measures are not universal. Rather, they must be characterized by the principle of local ownership and be crafted to circumstances on the ground. 262 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sécheresse, aridité, pénurie en eau, sont des termes parfois présentés comme synonymes. Questionnant cette apparente évidence, l'auteur focalise son analyse sur la notion de pénurie en eau et oppose aux travaux centrés sur la rareté physique des ressources en eau une approche qui place les usages de l'eau au coeur de l'explication. Tiré d'une thèse de doctorat, cet ouvrage propose un examen des principaux indicateurs de pénurie (notamment celui de ' stress hydrique ') et conduit à caractériser la pénurie comme un phénomène à la dimension anthropique prononcée : il est en grande partie socialement construit, géographiquement et historiquement situé. L'analyse historique de l'évolution du mode d'usage de l'eau de part et d'autre de la Méditerranée révèle des similitudes quant à la manière de se représenter l'eau comme une simple ressource dont l'abondance ne serait limitée que par le dynamisme des infrastructures hydrauliques (barrages, forages, usines de dessalement, etc.). Par le biais d'une approche en économie institutionnaliste, historique et pragmatique qui restitue les justifications à l'origine des règles d'usage de l'eau, l'auteur propose des éléments de compréhension de l'avènement d'une pénurie en eau au Maroc et en Espagne et discute les solutions proposées pour tenter d'y faire face et qui participeraient de l'émergence d'un nouveau mode d'usage de l'eau. 331 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dieses Buch stellt die Vielfalt jüdischen Lebens in Europa von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart dar. Ausgewiesene Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Judaistik, Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Literaturwissenschaft und Katholischer Theologie beschreiben und untersuchen, wie sich Juden und jüdische Gemeinschaften in einer fremden Umwelt behaupteten: Wie sie sich in die sie umgebende Gesellschaft politisch, wirtschaftlich, kulturell einbringen wollten und konnten, wie sich ihr alltägliches Leben gestaltete, welchen Bedrohungen, Gefahren und Diskriminierungen sie ausgesetzt waren und wie sich der sie umgebende Staat und die nichtjüdische Mehrheitsgesellschaft positionierten. Um die Vielfalt der jüdischen Lebenswelten ideal präsentieren zu können, ist das Buch chronologisch angelegt. Hierzu gehört auch die singuläre Katastrophe, die Ermordung der europäischen Juden. Das entstandene Panorama jüdischen Lebens in Europa zeigt aber, dass die vielfältige jüdische Geschichte mehr als nur Konflikte, Diskriminierung und Antisemitismus bietet. 320 pp. Deutsch.

In October 1915, Hanssen, manager of the DHPG, a large German copra production company, was sent from Samoa to New Zealand to serve a six-month sentence imposed by a New Zealand military court for bypassing war censorship regulations. He served his sentence in a number of prisons in New Zealand, including two months in the high-security prison, Mt Eden. Hanssen's memoirs - in English translation and in the original German - are made available for the first time in this edition, which also features photos from his Samoan album and a comprehensive introduction by Bronwyn Chapman on the historical and political background. 216 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Der Autor untersucht die zeitgenössische und die diachrone Wahrnehmung des Erinnerungsorts 'Boxeraufstand in China' in zwei europäischen Ländern. Dieses spezielle Ereignis hatte vielfältige soziale Folgen für ein außereuropäisches Land. Einerseits präsentiert das Buch einen klassischen geschichtswissenschaftlichen Vergleich zwischen den vermeintlich ähnlichen Erinnerungsorten zweier Länder. Andererseits bietet es einen innovativen Vergleich, der eine außereuropäische Dimension beinhaltet. Der Autor arbeitet heraus, dass die Ereignisse in Frankreich vornehmlich als kolonialgeschichtliche Episode aufgearbeitet werden. In Deutschland dagegen sind sie bis heute Sinnbild des Militarismus im wilhelminischen Kaiserreich. 240 pp. Deutsch.
