Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Además de un himno pacifista, en el que la mujer y la madre adquieren un papel protagónico al cuestionar el orden patriarcal y nefasto de la guerra, Mientras los hombres mueren (1953) es un poemario trascendental y apenas conocido de Carmen Conde. Su análisis, de hecho, permite arrojar luz sobre Mujer sin Edén (1947), obra magna que la consagró definitivamente y que se considera representativa del proceso subversivo del lenguaje bíblico en la lírica escrita por mujeres en la primera mitad del siglo XX. El objetivo prioritario del presente trabajo es llevar a cabo un examen comparativo de ambas colecciones para demostrar, merced a los paralelismos simbólicos, estilísticos y temáticos, que la primera no sólo puede considerarse cámara germinadora de motivos poéticos y recursos retóricos de la segunda, sino también pieza clave para comprender la edificación de la conciencia femenina de la autora. 178 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Violence and media are important issues in media theories and research. In the research conducted with the participation of 400 university students, the effects of the concepts of digital media literacy, cyber violence and emotional deafness (alexithymia) on the perception of individuals as justification violence are discussed as factors that cause individuals to perceive violence as legitimate through communication tools.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A well-functioning communication is a prerequisite for achieving sustainability. But how could this be accomplished in a world plagued by grave sustainability crises, where polarization proliferates and adds to a profound experience of fear and separation To answer this critical question, an integrated ethical system that acknowledges all life as one is needed.The Ethics of Sustainable Communication elegantly interweaves theoretical and empirical knowledge from the social sciences with wisdom traditions from various parts of the world. This includes the world¿s great religions, the knowledge of indigenous peoples, and the transcendent understanding of reality that artists of diverse kinds have always expressed. On this solid ground, the book argues for the necessity of a significant shift in human consciousness to achieve lasting sustainability.The book develops a communication ethics that aims at facilitating a genuine experience of the interconnectedness of all life through the expansion of trust. In a pioneering, intelligent, and eye-opening argument, including practical examples and advice, it demonstrates how the experience of separation in fact is a delusion. Our systems of thought and language have simply fettered us in a world of opposites ¿ duality. The ethics helps us to overcome this illusoryworld, and when duality is dissolved, deep sustainability ¿ caring for people, the Earth, and every lifeform ¿ comes as an entirely effortless result.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 130 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Chinese in the Philippines constitute one of the many Chinese communities globally. Although many Chinese have maintained their cultural traditions, most of them are Filipina/o citizens and have always considered the Philippines home. Embodying 'Tsina/o' (Chinese) and 'Pina/oy' (Filipina/o) identities, Tsina/oys must learn how to negotiate their hybridity through cultural and linguistic practices in everyday life.Using a multimethodological approach to ethnography (critical ethnographic interview, autoethnography, and cyberethnography), (Trans)national Tsina/oys: Hybrid Performances of Chinese and Filipina/o Identities examines Tsina/oy identity as intersectional performance of ethnicity, nationality, and class in physical and online environments.The book draws from critical intercultural and performance studies to analyze what makes 'Tsina/oy' a complex identity and what it could mean for the future in and beyond the Philippines.The book is well-suited for undergraduate and graduate students and academics who study international and intercultural communication, qualitative research methods, and performance studies. It is also of great interest to scholars in anthropology, Asian American studies, cultural studies, ethnic studies, geography, liberal studies, sociology, among other disciplines.'This book is a travelogue to places and spaces of knowing the self in culture; crossing borders to different but familiar locations, and (re)discovering the socializing practices that shape culture and identity. Hao introduces us to complex ways of revisiting notions of intersectionality not just through the complex meeting places of oppressions in social contexts, but through the importance of a diasporic transnational hybridity. He eschews the notion of hybridity as just a mixture of discrete cultures, but the complex co-informing aspects of ethnicity, nationality, class, and the politics of place that shape a sense of self in relation to common origins and the performative variations of identity that are held in contradistinction to those shared roots. Using diverse and interlocking ethnographic and qualitative methodologies, (Trans)national Tsina/oys: Hybrid Performances of Chinese and Filipina/o Identities asks the reader to engage at the intersections, the hyphens, and the parenthetical constructions of hybridity that make the subjects of the study, including himself, both/and always searching for homeplace in communities of recognized co-informing identities that are at once the same and not the same.'¿Bryant Keith Alexander, Ph.D., Dean and Professor, College of Communication and Fine Arts, Loyola Marymount University¿(Trans)national Tsina/oys: Hybrid Performances of Chinese and Filipina/o Identities stands as an exemplar of critical intercultural communication studies and the deep-level insights that it provides as a field to uncover the intricately woven layers of cultural identity, performativity, belonging, and the cultural politics that constitute ¿home.¿ Dr. Haös book also highlights the key role that critical intercultural communication studies plays in unpacking the complex of diasporas in terms of (but not limited to) their identity dynamics, the power effects in claiming/remembering/clarifying one¿s identity in relation to a ¿home¿ (of memory, of place, of relational cultural space), and the thorny assemblage of meaning around ¿belonging.¿¿¿Rona Tamiko Halualani, Ph.D., Professor of Intercultural Communication, Department of Communication Studies, San Jose State UniversityBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Real news. Fake news. Alternative Facts. We are living in the Digital Age of Disinformation where factual news, opinion and disinformation exist side-by-side in the media culture. How do we know who and what to believe News Literacy Now introduces a new way to 'read' the news.

It connects key concepts with strategies to deconstruct misinformation and disinformation that have weaponized falsehoods and disrupted the flow of trustworthy news.Challenged by a news credibility crisis, news media literacy has never mattered more. What we need are skills to think like a journalist and search like a fact-checker. Whether you are a media literacy expert or newbie to media and news literacy, this book is essential for everyone who uses mediäteachers and students from middle and high school to higher ed, parents and grandparents, media and youth advocates, and anyone who cares about living in a world where facts matter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 166 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Leaders of most postsecondary institutions in Canada have stated that their institutions are committed to diversity and inclusion. These commitments are situated in a complex educational climate in which leaders navigate drivers of change such as increased diversity in the student demographic and an increased demand for social justice issues to be addressed. Despite the public commitments to values of diversity and inclusivity, senior leadership in Canadian postsecondary institutions today lacks diversity. Interestingly, public statements of commitment to diversity and inclusivity are made by postsecondary leaders in response to allegations of racism. What do the concepts of diversity and inclusion mean to postsecondary leaders and how are they enacted To gain an in-depth understanding of how leaders make meaning of diversity and inclusivity, this book offers an integrated social justice leadership framework for diversity and inclusivity. This innovative framework provides a way for leaders to think through their and others¿ understanding of diversity and inclusivity within the varying dimensions in which they practice leadership in postsecondary settings. With this understanding, leaders can broach the social justice issues of colonial knowledge systems, white Eurocentric ways of knowing, power, representation, and implicit bias in postsecondary contexts as they engage leadership practices in ways that tend to equity and decolonial thought.'This book is a must read for educators and educational leaders in postsecondary contexts who are working towards greater diversity and equity. It covers a wide range of issues and considerations for achieving workplace diversity and strategies that leaders can engage. It is substantive in both scope and content and provides insights into organizational structures as well as what the author sees as discursive limitations of diversity and inclusivity. The book also offers a social justice leadership framework that can support diversity and inclusivity. It is a timely contribution to the field.'Ann E Lopez, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto'Postsecondary Leaders¿ Thoughts on Diversity and Inclusion: Now What provides a timely discussion regarding how postsecondary leaders make meaning of diversity and inclusivity in educational settings. By tending to how leaders of postsecondary institutions in Alberta, who through policy, academic plans, mission and value statements, have committed to diversity and inclusion, Maroro Zinyemba offers key sensibilities for social justice praxis by revealing how these moments inform leadership practice in postsecondary contexts. This book ought to be requisite reading for those concerned with historical and contemporary questions regarding diversity and inclusion in the context of postsecondary education.'Marlon Simmons, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs, Werklund School of Education, University of CalgaryBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 154 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book adopts a qualitative research methodology to explore novice teachers¿ professional development (TPD) under the background of the New Curriculum Reform in mainland China. With a purposeful sampling strategy, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data from twelve novice primary school teachers. As the specific design of the qualitative method and research procedures have been demonstrated, this book could be reading material for courses such as Qualitative Research Methodology and would be beneficial for undergraduate and postgraduate students learning qualitative research.In addition, this book provides suggestions for pre-service and novice teachers. The study found that although TPD programs and better welfare are desirable, collegial support from seniors, internet resources and online courses, and self-reflection were more direct and effective in enhancing professional growth and reducing negative emotions that developed from challenges in classroom management, workload, and accountability.This book also suggests three directions for the future development of TPD to school leaders and policymakers. First, more training on classroom management and time management is helpful as poor classroom management and excessive workload were the causes of teacher burnout. Second, more school-level mentoring is wanted because it is considered more effective than the state and individual-level opportunities of TPD. Third, more development opportunities for teachers in rural areas are required to improve their professional competence and narrow their gap with their urban counterparts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 98 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -En esta investigación se estudia la evolución curricular, pedagógica y didáctica de la formación para la ciudadanía en Costa Rica durante el periodo 1886-2015 desde una perspectiva que reconoce la transnacionalidad de los procesos educativos que en apariencia se muestran como si fuesen procesos simplemente nacionales. El análisis ha sido ectuado tomando en cuenta la politicidad nacional es decir, las distintas coyunturas, actores, tendencias y tensiones político educativas en torno a la articulación curricular y didáctica de la Educación Cívica tanto como asignatura escolar, como campo en disputa y tensión, y también como un campo de desarrollo académico y de política curricular. Se asume también la perspectiva de la internacionalización político educativa para observar distintos momentos, agentes y procesos transnacionales en la articulación de la educación para la ciudadanía en Costa Rica desde 1886 hasta el año 2015. 286 pp. Spanisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Nicholas of Cusa (1401¿1464), thinker, polymath, and cardinal, had a long-standing interest in Islam. To date, however, no work has satisfactorily dealt with his volatile attitude towards the Islamic faith and the Ottoman Turks. This book revisits Nicholas of Cusäs attitude towards Islam, criticizing previous work that has overlooked Cusäs involvement in preparations for a crusade, and the significance of Cusäs polemical A Scrutiny of the Koran (Cribratio Alkorani) of 1461. The book also addresses the prevailing image of Cusa as a dove of peace and champion of interreligious dialogue, and suggests an alternative and more complex picture which takes account of Cusäs crusading activities and his attitude towards Muslims and Jews.A significant new study, Nicolas of Cusa and Mohammed will appeal to students and scholars interested in the Renaissance, Humanism, church¿state relations, the history of the crusades, and Nicholas of Cusäs life and works.'Nathan Ron sets the record straight about Nicholas of Cusa as so-called pioneer of ¿inter-religious dialogue¿ based on a close reading of the irenic Peace of Faith and the polemical Scrutiny of the Koran, together with his role in mounting a crusade for Pope Pius II.'¿Gerald Christianson, Professor Emeritus of Church History, United Lutheran Seminary, Gettysburg; Past President, American Cusanus Society'Nicholas of Cusa often is presented as a champion of interreligious dialogue. This book rightly brings to the fore Cusanus¿ often harsh polemic against Islam and his role in Pius II¿s crusade against the Turks.'¿Thomas Izbicki, Humanities librarian emeritus, Rutgers UniversityBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The importance of play for healthy development is undeniable. Aspects of play have been linked to the development of social skills, health and fitness, motivation, curiosity, innovation, imagination, and problem solving. Both theory and research suggest that play of various types is critical for healthy development and that playfulness is an important quality across the life span. However, opportunities to play and quality of play facilities in schools, after-school programs, childcare centers, community parks, and museums are not equitable by race, socio-economic status, and ability. And racial profiling, immigrant status, illness, and incarceration interfere with child¿s play. The first section of the book defines play and social justice and describes disparities in play opportunities in childcare, schools, and communities as well as inequities in how play is interpreted. The next section describes pre-school, elementary, high school, and university programs that use play to liberate, teach, and build community as well as after-school, hospital, and community programs that help to level the playing field of opportunity. The final part of the book discusses ways to ameliorate inequities through research and advocacy. Four research methods are described that are useful for conducting studies on the amount of play children experience, attitudes toward play, and the effect of play on other variables. Finally, a child, a parent, and a teacher describe ways they tried to obtain more recess, using various methods of advocacy. The appendix provides resources indispensable for those convinced that play for all is indeed a social justice issue worthy of advocacy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 330 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Este libro analiza la manera en que la basura o desecho, en cuanto concepto así como en cuanto entidad material, determina y constituye un sentido de especulación. Para ello se asume que ya no puede considerarse la noción de especulación como una cualidad abstracta, como una singularidad lexical, so pena de perennizar un conjunto de mecanismos de aprendizaje y elucubración que conducen a un naturalismo filosófico decimonónico ya conocido, característico y dominante, en los ámbitos periféricos del planeta. A consecuencia de este razonamiento, se explora además cómo este sentido de especulación constituiría una forma de determinación de localidad y en torno a la cual se podrían establecer referencias e imaginarios inmediatos.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 396 pp. Spanisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Whereas, almost all Catholic moral theologians and ethicists do not have many problems receiving the negative judgment of Donum Vitae on heterologous artificial insemination and regular IVF as procedures of generating human life, only few find it difficult and unacceptable for the Simple Case IVF to be proscribed because they consider it less problematic. The Catholic Scholars who express dissent against the evaluation and conclusion of the Magisterium on the Simple Case seem to suggest that the destruction of human embryos and the use of a donor constitute the only problem of this procedure. But their reasoning can be considered inadequate because it fails to understand the theological and moral basis for the dignity of human procreation. The fact that the Simple Case IVF violates the principle of inseparability of the conjugal act by seeking the generation of human life outside of the conjugal act makes it intrinsically illicit and unacceptable for human procreation.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 248 pp. Englisch.

The authors attempted to define cultural security and the approach to it from various, often very different, research perspectives. 304 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -As a reflection of the iMPACTS Project, an international research partnership that investigates sexual violence at universities and in society, this edited collection is the first to take a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and addressing sexual violence and gender-based violence in Canada. The first section of the book examines law/policy issues impacting universities, while the second section explores student activism and university responses to students¿ experiences of sexual violence. The third section examines sexual violence interventions through education and pedagogy, including an arts-based toolkit, a theatre production, and an international internship program. The fourth and final section focuses on vulnerable communities, including online and in person as well as within legal, human rights, and social justice frameworks. While law and education are two major themes in this book, systematic and institutional discrimination are also examined. As such, this book emphasizes intersectional identities and the disproportionate effects of sexual and gender-based violence on marginalized communities. This book addresses policy makers, educators, students, workshop facilitators, archivists, theatre professionals, and members of the general public. This book could be recommended reading in university level courses across a range of subject areas including law, policy, education, gender studies, health, and sociology. This edited collection is unique in that it is focuses on the Canadian context and consolidates emerging research on sexual violence from a variety of disciplines.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 298 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book brings together 18 theoretical and empirical chapters that analyse the role of emotion (expression, perception, processing) and identity (notions and representations, construction, conflict) in the process of learning a second language. Studies on the differences in emotionality between L1 and L2 suggest that in L2 there is an alteration that, in many cases, manifests itself as a decrease in the affective load, which can lead to a certain indifference to the emotional content transmitted and to a lesser involvement in communication. It is also known that emotion plays a fundamental role in the construction of identity in a second language in the shaping of the self that feels and communicates and in the ability to cope with the learning process.Most of the studies have focused on the understanding of these issues in balanced bilingual speakers, but there is little evidence on their functioning in speakers with other degrees of proficiency (the case of second language learners) and on their role in the learning process. Better understanding this question is fundamental for the improvement of everything related to second language acquisition. We need new and innovative approaches that lead to more effective programs, increased interest in language learning and the consolidation of multilingual societies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 606 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Tomoo Otaka (1899¿1956) studied philosophy at the University of Kyoto in the mid-1920s. The Grundlegung der Lehre vom sozialen Verband [Foundation of a theory of social association] was the product of a three-year European visit (1929¿1932) in which he studied in Vienna with Hans Kelsen and in Freiburg with Edmund Husserl.Otaka deployed Husserl¿s theory of knowledge to criticise the work of various contemporary German sociologists, arguing that there was a need to reframe social scientifi c research. He also criticised Kelsen¿s pure law theory, presenting a different view of the nature and function of law within and between nation states. He promoted an ontological science of society, but his book offered a philosophy of social science without applying that science to itself.In his Introduction to his translation, Derek Robbins (author of The Bourdieu paradigm, 2019) suggests that assessing Otakäs text and its context contributes to an understanding of the development of Bourdieüs conceptual apparatus. In turn, the application of Bourdieüs thinking to Otakäs theory generates the refl exivity which it requires but did not offer.The volume comprises three Parts: an Introduction, the translated text, and a collection of commentaries from four international scholars who offer invaluable insights into Otakäs work from different perspectives.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 358 pp. Englisch.

In recent decades, AVT and accessibility studies have developed side by side, and the intersection of both fields has been at the heart of academic research as well as of professional practice.This collective volume showcases nine chapters written by specialists who approach the topic from different, yet complementary perspectives. All of them analyse the production of accessible translated material that requires adaptation to meet the needs and expectations of a multifarious audience, including older people, persons with sensory and cognitive disabilities, and those with limited digital knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 202 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -What happens in our brain when we create a story Based on neuro-cognitivism, the study of narratives ¿ ranging from novels to ¿life-stories¿, which relate to interstitial topics ¿ has become more rigorous. In fact, an unparalleled panorama of constants, cemented since the Upper Palaeolithic, has been added to an unprecedented awareness of how each cultural habitat shapes the narratives of its inhabitants. This occured according to a particular neuro-cognitive style, thus limiting the so-called ¿authorial¿ freedom. Narratives ¿ whether they originate from the Muses or from the voice of a completely illiterate individual ¿ are like compressors that can zip together all the most crucial elements in our existence: time, space, intentions, purposes, agents and instrumental actions. For this reason, they represent an inexhaustible object of research. 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage à plusieurs voix vise à mettre en lumière l¿intemporalité et le caractère international du surréalisme, non seulement en tant que mouvement artistique, mais aussi comme défenseur de cette essence humaine qui nous pousse à aller au-delà des réalités apparentes. Le surréalisme ne chercherait donc pas tant à comprendre le monde mais à le vivre dans toutes ses dimensions insoupçonnées. Pour démontrer cela, ce livre adopte une approche comparatiste illustrant le dialogue permanent entre le mouvement surréaliste et le monde qui l¿entoure, mais aussi entre les artistes d¿un pays à l¿autre, en Europe et aux Canaries. Il se propose ainsi de mesurer la profondeur et la portée de ce surréalisme qui a su conquérir tant de c¿urs, et sa quête éperdue d¿une beauté qui, pour reprendre les mots d¿Annie Le Brun, « ouvre l¿horizon et permet d¿échapper à ce qui est ».Este libro polifacético pretende destacar la intemporalidad y el carácter internacional del Surrealismo, no sólo como movimiento artístico, sino también como defensor de esa esencia humana que nos impulsa a ir más allá de las realidades aparentes. El surrealismo no buscaría tanto comprender el mundo como experimentarlo en todas sus insospechadas dimensiones. Para demostrarlo, este libro adopta un enfoque comparativo que ilustra el diálogo permanente entre el movimiento surrealista y el mundo que lo rodea, pero también entre artistas de un país a otro, en Europa y en Canarias. Propone así medir la profundidad y el alcance de este surrealismo que ha conquistado tantos corazones, y su frenética búsqueda de una belleza que, en palabras de Annie Le Brun, 'abre el horizonte y permite escapar de lo que es'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 306 pp. Französisch, Spanisch.
