Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sedirse Bodley is one of the best-known senior figures of contemporary music in Ireland. This book seeks to examine his engagement with the poetry of Micheal O'Siadhail and the making of these song cycles. It assesses the joint contribution to Irish art song and seeks to understand its roots in and departure from European tradition.This apograph is the first publication of Bodley's O'Siadhail song cycles and is the first book to explore the composer's lyrical modernity from a number of perspectives. Lorraine Byrne Bodley's insightful introduction describes in detail the development and essence of Bodley's musical thinking, the European influences he absorbed which linger in these cycles, and the importance of his work as a composer of Irish art song. She asks an array of questions: Does song play a new role in twentieth-century music or was this the age, as many have insisted, that bears witness to the «death of song» How does contemporary Irish art song inscribe individual concerns and mirror the influence of dominant social trends through its music and its texts She demonstrates that the answers to such questions illuminate the context in which these cycles were created, and how they were valued and viewed. Through a blend of close analysis of Bodley's songs and wide-ranging engagement with both poetry and music, this book sheds new light on Bodley's integral part in fashioning Irish art song. It analyses the way Bodley's song has been harnessed both to legitimate and to challenge national art song. And it identifies elements of Bodley's musical style which are shaped by European tradition.Beyond such musico-poetic analysis, Lorraine Byrne Bodley's reading of the threefold roles of continuity, gradual change, and revolution opens up a «braided history» of Irish art song, where song is not an aesthetic given but a means to understanding the changing patterns of life. She argues convincingly that an understanding of the way in which Irish society has perceived song in recent centuries is available through a consideration of song as social document, and in her appraisal of Bodley's O'Siadhail settings she considers the importance of these song cycles as a reflection of Ireland's rich cultural history. 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Whereas the diagnosis, explanation, and treatment of physical illness are scientifically sound, this is not true of psychiatric care of mental disorder. Depression, the #1 psychiatric diagnosis, illustrates this failure and it is the subject of Grifting Depression: Psychiatry's Failure as a Medical Science. Psychiatry's current form of medicalization began in 1980 with publication of DSM-III, the diagnostic manual that became the basis for the chemical imbalance theory, psychiatry's explanation for depression, and for reliance on antidepressant drugs to treat depression, 'revolutionizing psychiatric care.' DSM-III became the model for all the DSM manuals that followed. However, unlike other medical diagnostic manuals, the DSM fails to meet scientific and medical standards of reliability and validity. The chemical imbalance theory is based on research that violates basic tenets of the scientific method. Tests of the theory contradict it. In addition, tests of treatment effectiveness find antidepressant drugs to be no better than placebo. Studies show that the benefit attributed to antidepressant drugs is a placebo effect, but unlike placebos, the chemicals in these drugs are harmful to many. Research strongly supports an alternative theory, a behavioral explanation (psychological rather than biological) for most of the mental disorders listed in the DSM, including most cases of depression. Moreover, although it has not been recognized as the treatment of choice for depression, outcome studies convincingly show behavior therapy is more effective than drug treatment and it is safe. Conflict of interest, not science, is determining psychiatric care. 306 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -«It was a great pleasure both to host and to participate in an international conference that brought together musicologists, composers, performers, and literary artists in stimulating and thought-provoking discourse. The collaboration of our colleagues from Queen's University, Belfast, was particularly welcome and appreciated; they, together with distinguished international Goethians, contributed much to what was a unique 36 hours of intellectual and artistic dialogue.»Professor Gerard Gillen, Chair of Music, National University of Ireland Maynooth & Titular Organist of Dublin's Pro-Cathedral«Goethe's influence on the musical world is far reaching. While it seems impossible to grasp the full extent of his legacy, a sense of optimism was in the air at the Maynooth conference where we were entertained by a series of highly stimulating papers and concerts, exploring some fascinating details of Goethe's world and his unique contributions to music. It was indeed a rare opportunity to have had such a wonderful mix of scholarly exchanges on a literary giant, Goethe, who continues to enrich our lives through his creative output.»Dr Yo Tomita, Reader in Music, Queen's University Belfast«I have long been conscious of the modernity of much of Goethe's writing and aware of the very direct message it can deliver to a 21st century man or woman. In particular the characters of both Mignon and the Harper in Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre speak to us of an all-too-familiar sense of fractured identity. It was therefore with especial pleasure that I undertook the musical setting of Goethe's poems associated with these two vivid characters for performance at the conference. What a wonderful opportunity was afforded me to present a first performance of Goethe settings before an audience that included so many distinguished scholars of the great German writer!»Seóirse Bodley, Composer and Emeritus Professor of Music, University College Dublin«Musical performance is a fundamental part of human existence, yet years of learning and preparation lie behind it. The interpretation of music requires decisions - conscious and/or intuitive - about the meaning of musical features as well as knowledge of the historical context in which the music was written. The unique interaction of theory and practice in this conference offered scholars and performers an opportunity to unravel the complexities of performance together, and to bring to light aspects of learning and playing. Each of the authors in this volume is a leading expert in the field, and the performers, who illustrated their lectures with recitals, were of considerable experience and renown. All of these factors ensure that the essays in this volume are vital, cogent, and musically challenging.»John O'Conor, Pianist and Director of the Royal Irish Academy of Music«Goethe was interested in, and acutely aware of, the place of music in human experience generally - and of its particular role in modern culture. Moreover, his own literary work - especially the poetry and 'Faust' - inspired some of the major composers of the European tradition to produce some of their finest works. What is it about Goethe's texts that invites a transformation into music Perhaps it is his extraordinary combination of emotional immediacy and intense reflectivity. To that combination, and to the perennially fascinating question of what happens in the interplay between words and music, this volume of essays bears abundant witness.»Martin Swales, Emeritus Professor of German, University College London 410 pp. Englisch.

Le propos est principalement centré sur la fin de la guerre d'Algérie et de l'Algérie française, et ce à l'heure où se profile le 60e anniversaire des accords d'Évian et de leurs suites. Différentes contributions abordent ainsi, par le biais des formes de structuration ou de mobilisation, le sort et le destin des disparus européens, celui des harkis ou de la « colonie » pied-noir d'Alicante. Mais ce collectif, comme le précédent, ne se limite pas à la France et l'exemple des retornados portugais fournit un contrepoint fort éclairant à mettre en regard du rapatriement français de 1962. Par ailleurs, si les contributions émanent principalement d'historiennes et d'historiens, des spécialistes d'architecture comme de littérature enrichissent substantiellement une réflexion ouverte sur la pluridisciplinarité. 166 pp. Französisch.

La prolifération des rencontres au sommet s'est imposée depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle comme l'une des caractéristiques majeures de la vie internationale. Facilités par la révolution des transports aériens après 1945, les déplacements à l'étranger des chefs d'État ou de gouvernement se sont amplifiés avec la mondialisation des années 1990 et l'interdépendance croissante entre les États. Comment et selon quel rythme s'organisent ces voyages Quels sont leurs objectifs Leurs retombées A partir de neuf études de cas, proposées par des historiens spécialistes des relations internationales, cet ouvrage propose une première réflexion d'ensemble sur le sujet.

Les représentants des diverses « nations » catholiques convergent massivement à Rome où les églises nationales s'imposent parmi les principaux centres musicaux de la ville. Dans les Pays-Bas espagnols, les communautés étrangères sont aussi très actives sur les plans politique, religieux et artistique.Cet ouvrage se propose d'analyser les pratiques culturelles des communautés étrangères comme clé de lecture de leurs systèmes de représentation à une époque où les pratiques s'articulent entre défense des particularismes locaux et uniformité triomphante. Ces communautés déploient en terre étrangère des stratégies d'adaptation et développent des formes d'expression qui marquent le territoire d'accueil et façonnent sa géographie urbaine et sociale. À travers les études de cas ici présentées, ce sont aussi les liens unissant l'identité d'une communauté donnée et ses pratiques artistiques ou dévotionnelles qui sont explorés. 174 pp. Französisch.

It discusses Berryman's work in the context of a larger debate on the significance of loss in the process of subject formation and its relation to language, with a commentary on the presences and absences found in the Polish translations of the poem. Revealing the mechanisms of staging the Self after loss, the Songs provide insight into the theatrical and dialogue-driven, context-dependent, intertextual and continuously rewritten character of the American subject. 158 pp. Englisch.

In doing so it promotes creative forms of learning in which critical literacy can develop in a trans-systemic approach. Thanks to the creation of translanguaging spaces, secondary school learners are engaged in plurilateral and multidirectional meaning making processes. While they are enquiring topical as well as socially and culturally relevant issues, they can develop critical engagement and civic empathy. The present volume provides a theoretical framework with descriptors for multilingual critical literacy. In addition, it showcases lesson-plans on rap-literature(s) in more languages (German, Italian, English, Spanish) and other multimodal and plurilingual inputs, as well as translanguaging tasks. 160 pp. Englisch.

The peaceful revolution brought substantial socio-cultural, institutional and strategic transformations, setting a long-term course for Central and Eastern European policymaking. Recently, however, these legacies, namely the geopolitical aspects of the transformation, the policies of collective memory, and even intrasocietal issues, have been questioned more than ever. It seems the region is approaching the end of a revolutionary cycle of transition. This volume tries to investigate this phenomenon as it unfolds. 228 pp. Englisch.

Rather than privileging profits and trade, Western societies have made the noble decision to save lives at all costs. Indeed, the logic that has prevailed is that accepting any trade-off between saving lives and saving the economy is an unacceptable and monstrous idea, which is why liberal democracies worldwide have chosen to shutter businesses and force people to self-quarantine in their homes as much and for as long as possible. A vast majority of citizens and political leaders deemed that acting otherwise would have been nothing else but pure moral bankruptcy. Is it, however, possible that Western societies have gone the wrong way by embracing this inherently basic and impoverished version of life The reason why a significant majority of us are unable to see this truth is because of our refusal to accept death and the tragic essence of human life which is the result of the various cultural parameters we have grown accustomed to over the past decades that followed WWII. The Covid-19 pandemic has simply been the triggering factor that has allowed these factors to reinforce the full strength they wield on our understanding of life. Defined primarily by a fear of death, the desire to prolong life as much as possible and minimize the hurdles individuals have to face during their existence has created a beast that is, in appearance, reassuring to the fearful creatures we have become. This beast has asepticized societies that refute the tragic nature of life and are willing to hinder individuals' freedom and what makes our existence inherently humane. However, without realizing it, this Leviathan that now takes the form of a 'nanny state' has altered our nature from individuals able and encouraged to enjoy life to people whose only destiny is to simply survive for as long as possible, without any other purpose than to avoid anything that might jeopardize this objective. 90 pp. Englisch.

Les révolutionnaires français ont remplacé les institutions territoriales hétéroclites de l'Ancien régime par un modèle unique valable partout, fondé sur les communes et les départements. La création des régions à la fin du XXe siècle s'inscrira dans la même perspective égalitaire, s'opposant à la constitution de puissantes institutions politiques locales. Or, cet ordre imposé résiste mal à l'évolution du temps. Avec la démocratisation de nos institutions publiques, les revendications historiques et politiques font retour, et le règne des statuts généraux de droit commun est parfois ressenti comme un anachronisme. Si la France demeure attachée au principe d'unité, elle renonce progressivement à l'uniformité par la reconnaissance de statuts particuliers, dont la Corse est un cas particulièrement emblématique. Cet ouvrage aborde le développement des statuts particuliers en France à travers une étude globale et systémique. En conjuguant des approches diverses, il permet d'interroger les incidences de ce développement dans une logique non seulement conceptuelle mais aussi d'efficacité administrative et d'intelligibilité sur le plan juridique. 252 pp. Französisch.

Se fondant sur un bilan historiographique inédit des recherches sur le sujet, présenté en début d'ouvrage, il construit et met à jour une large réflexion de nature épistémologique et théorique sur l'écriture du témoignage.Plusieurs chapitres élargissent la tradition des recherches sur la Shoah au témoignage de femmes (la féminité comme moyen de survie dans les camps, la difficile réintégration sociale des anciennes déportées). D'autres études de cas approfondissent le genre du journal intime en temps de guerre (ceux des historiens belges Paul Fredericq et Henri Pirenne en 1914-1918, le journal de Victor Klemperer) mais aussi l'idée de témoignage « indirect » de nature foncièrement fictionnelle et littéraire (la poésie de Gertrud Kolmar, la mise en fiction de la Résistance dans l'oeuvre de Beppe Fenoglio, la première littérature de l'immigration en Italie). Les chapitres consacrés à James Baldwin et à David Van Reybrouck explorent les voies du témoignage dans le journalisme littéraire et le genre de la non-fiction, sa basant notamment sur la posture engagée de ces auteurs. 232 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited book explores the origins and evolution of the early childhood education and care (ECEC) system on the island of Ireland since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1921. While the book acknowledges and celebrates the role of parents in caring for and educating their young children within the home, the key focus is on the provisions outside the home for children from birth to six years. It critiques the historical and contemporary provision under a number of key themes including curriculum, the policy and legislative landscapes, inspection and regulation, Irish language provision and professionalisation. Written by key experts and actors from the sector, it makes a unique contribution to the existing literature by bringing together in one collection a critical analysis of the key themes relating to the development of ECEC in Ireland. Moreover, signposts and signals for the future development of the sector are integral to the book. 298 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book draws the limits of our thoughts and consciousness between the mind andmind-independent reality by using mathematical logic with the support of neurology.Diagnosing the limits between immanence and transcendence of the consciousnessdepends on dening some transcendental a priori categories in between as somebasic axioms of the mind. Although this is a paradoxical attempt every philosopherfalls into, the author non-paradoxically identies these non-intentional cognitivecategories by using mathematical category theory. e author denes the intentionalcategories of consciousness by using mathematical set theory and obtains a selfrepresentationalhigher-order theory of consciousness (SHOT). Finally, he combinesthe intentional and non-intentional categories with an algebraic topography andobtains a model of the mind. 184 pp. Englisch.

In the first part, a review of investment policy in Europe, as well as a macroeconomic theoretical perspective, are provided to better appreciate recent developments within a new investment narrative. By analyzing the context in which investment support policies have taken place at European level since the origins of what is now the EU, through the 2008 financial crisis, and considering the effects of the current pandemic crisis, the book proposes possible solutions based on internal and external investment plans for a new European economic model. In particular, three aspects are examined. First, the implication of the green transition on the social dimension; second, the opportunity to strengthen the partnership with Africa; third, how a large-scale investment plan could be financed. 250 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die deutsche Frage löste in Italien sowohl in der Politik als auch in der öffentlichen Meinung immer harsche Gegensätze aus. Für die starke und sowjettreue Italienische Kommunistische Partei galt sie als eine der zentralen Problematiken in der europäischen Nachkriegszeit. Dennoch erfuhr die Haltung der italienischen Kommunisten gegenüber der deutschen Frage eine tiefgreifende Entwicklung, die in den gegensätzlichen, paradigmatischen Reaktionen zum Mauerbau und -fall versinnbildlicht sind. Jene Entwicklung, die ihre Wurzeln in der allmählichen Veränderung der deutschlandpolitischen Vorstellungen der italienischen Kommunisten in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren hatte, steht im Zentrum dieses Buches und wird anhand der Analyse deutscher und italienischer Parteiquellen und -presse rekonstruiert. 320 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Autorin befasst sich mit der Thematik der Anrechenbarkeit übertariflicher Zulagen auf Tariflohnerhöhungen und dem Verhältnis zur Entstehung eines Anspruchs aus betriebli-cher Übung. Anlass hierfür gab das Urteil des BAG vom 19.09.2018 - 5 AZR 439/17, welches unbeantwortete Fragen aufwarf. Die Autorin prüft, ob die Entscheidung zwangsläufig eine Rechtsprechungsänderung mit sich bringt und inwiefern sie Aufschluss über das Verhältnis von betrieblicher Übung und Anrechenbarkeit gibt. Im Zuge dessen setzt sich die Autorin kritisch mit der Rechtsprechung des BAG zur generellen Anrechenbarkeit übertariflicher Zulagen auseinander, insbesondere mit den möglichen dogmatischen Grundlagen. 192 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Autorin beschäftigt sich mit der de lege lata fehlenden Regelung zur Rückforderung übermäßig abgeführter Gewinne nach der Beendigung eines Gewinnabführungsvertrages. Sie geht der Frage nach, ob und aufgrund welcher Anspruchsgrundlage die ehemals abhängige Gesellschaft während der Vertragslaufzeit aufgrund eines Bilanzierungsfehlers zu viel abgeführte Gewinne zurückverlangen kann. Die Frage ist überaus praxisrelevant, gerade wenn eine vormals abhängige Gesellschaft aus einem Konzern ausscheidet: Hier besteht das Risiko, dass der Käufer der Gesellschaft über den Nachweis einer Zuviel-Abführung versucht, einen Teil des Kaufpreises zurück zu erlangen. Zudem beleuchtet die Autorin Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, inwieweit die diskutierten Probleme durch Vertragsgestaltung vermieden werden können. 206 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'après-11 septembre 2001 marque le développement d'une nouvelle approche globale et inclusive de l'antiterrorisme consistant à mobiliser des instruments coercitifs pour réprimer et non-coercitifs pour prévenir. La société civile se situe alors au coeur de politiques étatiques qui la perçoivent, d'une part, comme une menace sécuritaire, et d'autre part, comme une pourvoyeuse de sécurité oeuvrant à la prévention des idéologies terroristes. Comment se décline ce paradoxe au sein de l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai (OCS) et de l'un de ses États membres fondateurs, la Russie Fondée quelques mois avant les attentats du 11 septembre, l'OCS déclare, au nom de ses valeurs fondamentales regroupées sous l'« esprit de Shanghai », sa lutte contre les « trois fléaux » : le terrorisme, l'extrémisme et le séparatisme. C'est ainsi qu'elle dessine sa propre voie visant à renforcer une nouvelle vision sécuritaire commune tout en défendant la souveraineté et stabilité de ses États membres. En Russie, l'auteure a exploré les ajustements de la lutte contre les « trois fléaux » à l'échelle nationale. Pour ce faire, elle s'est intéressée à l'action d'associations mobilisées par l'État dans la prévention du terrorisme et aux projets citoyens nés pour en contester les « répressions politiques ». Issu d'une thèse de doctorat, ce livre interroge l'interprétation, au sein de l'administration russe, du terrorisme comme une « idéologie de la violence » et en souligne le lien avec la doctrine des « trois fléaux ». En écoutant la voix de multiples acteurs rencontrés sur le terrain, le lecteur est ainsi invité à découvrir dans quelle mesure lutter contre le terrorisme au nom de l'« esprit de Shanghai » produit des effets surprenants, voire tragiques, sur les acteurs de la société civile en Russie. 332 pp. Französisch.
