Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Consumer interests and concerns reveal themselves in different forms of consumer organisation. In this book, the agenda of affluent consumers in post-1945 Western societies is investigated through a collection of essays on the consumer movement in Britain, the USA, France and Norway. These contributions challenge a stereotype of the consumer as passive and individualistic by demonstrating how citizens have continued to organise on matters relating to consumption in the post-war era. Coming from the fields of history and the social sciences, the contributors offer fresh insights into questions of how and why consumers have chosen to organise in a context of increasing affluence. The book should appeal to students, scholars and others interested in the history of consumption and social movements. Investigates the agenda of affluent consumers in post-1945 Western societies through a collection of essays on the consumer movement in Britain, the USA, France and Norway. This book will be useful to students, scholars and others interested in the history of consumption and social movements.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. One of the most central questions in European politics today is the complex relationship between Turkey and the European Union. To better understand the controversies and ambiguities aroused by this issue it is necessary to go back in history. In 1529 and 1683, the conquering armies of the Ottoman Empire appeared at the gates of Vienna, threatening to overrun central Europe. But in recent years Turkey, with its 70 million mostly Muslim inhabitants, has been seeking closer integration with Western Europe, knocking at the door of Brussels. The ensuing debates on the possible Turkish membership of the European Union frequently evoke attitudes seemingly conditioned by an historical memory of one form or another, often originating centuries ago. The essays in this volume examine the assumptions, images and stereotypes developed about the 'Other' through the long historical relationship, focusing especially on European images of 'the Turk'. They also explore the interaction of the two parties at different times and in different geographical locations.Chronologically, they range from the origins of the 'East/West controversy' in classical times, to the present question concerning the future relationship of Turkey and 'Europe'. This volume provides a valuable source of knowledge for those interested in the persistence, as well as in the transformation, of basic notions through history, and in seeking a deeper under standing of how present day attitudes and arguments are related to historical memory. One of the most central questions in European politics is the complex relationship between Turkey and the European Union. This title includes essays that examine the assumptions, images and stereotypes developed about the 'Other' through the long historical relationship, focusing especially on European images of 'the Turk'.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book is a collection of articles about communication and ethics in the field of medicine and health care. Common to all the articles is that they are not directly based on empirical investigations. The discussions refer to research, but this is research that has already been carried out and documented in existing literature. In this sense the articles belong to what is often called applied philosophy. All the articles address communicative and ethical challenges in patient interaction on the basis of assumptions in modern moral philosophy and philosophy of language. There is a great need for literature that deals more comprehensively with the themes in this book than many introductory books do. It is particularly difficult to find suitable reading material that can be used in teaching at graduate and master levels. This book is designed to meet this need. It is suitable for use in all higher-level courses where the aim is to give students a theoretical understanding of ethical dilemmas and communicative challenges in health care.

From the publisher's blurb, "This book analyzes the remarkably close relationship between the British and Norwegian Labour parties and two of their leaders - Haakon Lie and Denis Healey - during the immediate post-World War II period. It examines the extent of party co-operation in disseminating anti-communist propaganda produced by the Information Research Department (IRD) of the Foreign Office in London. The book also looks at the history of the IRD, the extent of co-operation aimed at rebuilding the Socialist International, and attempts at party collaboration over Spain. It is largely based on unpublished material from over 10 different archives in Britain, Norway, the Netherlands, and Russia, incorporating material released at the request of the author under the Freedom of Information Act in Britain."

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This anthology deals with the changing state of the arts and the incorporation and relevance of the aesthetic dimension in daily life in general. The articles are not restricted to the arts, but the emphasis are given to aesthetics at work: the arts in their interaction, new aesthetical forms, new aesthetical activities, media and expressions including aesthetical dimensions in current economical and technological development, all those aesthetical tendencies that contribute to our world today. The book represents a decisive development in existing theories of art, mainly for taking the expanding field of aesthetics seriously. The authors make a critical contribution to a contemporary social tendency and is therefore of general as well as academic interest.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this volume, three Norwegian and three English scholars probe the issue of the role of intellectuals in the two countries following World War II. The intellectuals studied comprise many kinds: from academics in general (particularly sociologists) to journalists and politicians, amongst others. The book investigates the influence of intellectuals on politics and also between the two countries. Several tendencies in post-war societies have shaped the role of intellectuals: secularisation, professionalisation, internationalisation and the rise of populism, to name but a few. Although "intellectual" is a fairly common term in both countries, it often tends to fall between two chairs as an analytic concept. Therefore, it should perhaps rather be viewed as a terminological meeting point where several interesting societal phenomena may be studied. Although 'intellectual' is a fairly common term in Britain & Scandinavia, it often tends to fall between two chairs as an analytic concept. This book discusses the issue of the role of intellectuals in the two countries following World War II. It investigates the influence of intellectuals on politics and also between the two countries.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book is an investigation into the phenomenology of prose. The first section deals with two champions in the modern history of prose: Montaigne and Nietzsche. The second section considers some versions of prose and modernity through two profiles in the history of modernism: Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno. Furthermore, modern prose is examined through the development of the modern prose-poem. The third section assembles a wide range of examples from two vital sections of modern prose on the boundaries of literary fiction: travel writing and life writing. The final section consists of four shorter extensions: prose in photos, design and blogs. The final extension is a brief summary of the idea of prose. The phenomenology of prose will be presented in many forms and via many metaphors. Montaigne's essayistic body, disparate but still hanging together, never finished, always something to add. Nietzsche's labyrinth, showing by hiding, hiding by showing. Orhan Pamuk's Istanbul or Ryszard Kapuscinski's World: diligently mapped by foot and pen. Thomas Bernhard's or W.G.Sebald's meandering syntax, indicating a state where everything is connected with everything else -- together with the insight in the boundless contingency of everything that exists. Network is the final metaphor: the network connects and includes. It encompasses the world while leaving the world open. Presents an investigation into the phenomenology of prose. This book deals with two champions in the modern history of prose: Montaigne and Nietzsche. It considers some versions of prose and modernity through two profiles in the history of modernism: Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. As one of the dominating names in Western literature, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) has also been read and studied with great enthusiasm in the Nordic countries. His masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy" has been translated into Nordic languages several times and over the last few decades many introductions and popular monographs have been published. Moreover, the interest seems to be increasing: Dante's works are studied across different disciplines -- within Italian and comparative literature, theology, philosophy and the history of ideas -- to the extent that we can now talk of a new generation of dantisti among Nordic scholars. The anthology consists of proceedings from the Third Conference of the Nordic Dante Network at the University of Oslo, September 2006. As such it paints a clear picture of what is currently going on within Dante studies in the Nordic countries: the domestic readings are the result of a fruitful dialogue within international scholarship, whilst concurrently having their own individual characteristics.The opening chapter is written by one of the world's leading Dante scholars, Giuseppe Mazzotta, Sterling Professor at Yale University and the current President of the American Dante Society.
