Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Paul Feyerabend was one of the most influential forces that changed the intellectual world in the second half of the 20th century. Based on his intimate knowledge of the history and of the contemporary state of the sciences, his background in philosophy, and his genuine interest in the arts, Feyerabend never missed an opportunity to challenge prevalent views on the sciences and philosophy. Feyerabend's broad interest in cultural affairs included, of course, questions of education, of the ways people are educated (or: indoctrinated) into scientific beliefs and worldviews. He always was appalled by the ways in which sciences and philosophy are taught as truths and as facts rather than as imperfect, questionable theories or, even better, as practices of searching and philosophizing. His reflections touch on a wide range of pedagogical issues, from questions around the shape of educational theories or the role the sciences play or should play in education to the discussion around educational aims and methods. He proposed a unique and very much enlightening approach that relates him closely to Continental European discussions around Bildung in its broadest sense.This volume explores some of the different educational perspectives to which Feyerabend's thoughts make a highly original and creative contribution. In each section, different scholars from across the globe who are experts in the relevant fields of educational debates will present and discuss the way in which Feyerabend challenges prevalent and enriches future pedagogical discussions.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 198 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book probes the mythic underpinnings of U.S. war culture, asking how myth can be reconfigured to foster a discourse more conducive to a culture of peace. It breaks with an imperial mindset of endless warfare and places myth's creative potential into productive relationship with rhetoric's democratic vocation to foster an attitude of tolerance and interdependence and resist the violence of alienation. Drawing on the archetype of coyote and manifestations of a people's better angels, the book examines both the resistance of imperial orthodoxy to critique and susceptibility to cultural change. It locates Barack Obama's presidency and rhetorical juggling at the threshold of a shifting hemispheric consciousness and explores the prophetic voice of veterans opposed to war, a voice that prefigures the possibility of conversion to a culture of peace. The book culminates in consideration of democracy's renewal by means of rhetorically adept dissent to enable deliberation amidst conflict.After Empire chronicles America's addiction to war-in-the-name-of-peace, wherein the military-industrial complex entwines with crippling national mythologies. Drs. Ivie and Giner argue that by seeing the world as a series of threats, our imaginations have shriveled, leaving us rotating from self-righteous exceptionalism to other-fearing doubts. Moving past that dynamic, the authors plot a 'passage to democracy,' where the nation grows out of imperial hubris and into mature, deliberative democracy.Stephen J. Hartnett, Professor, Department of Communication, University of Colorado, DenverIn After Empire: Myth, Rhetoric, and Democratic Revival, Robert L. Ivie and Oscar Giner unpack the way that contemporary American myths of war have played a role in legitimizing war and creating an American empire built around a militarized society. They show that creation of an alternative mythology privileging dissent is essential to rebuilding American democracy. The book is cogently argued, based on groundbreaking research on myth and militarism, and a genuine pleasure to read!Robert C. Rowland, Professor, Department of Communication Studies, University of KansasAfter Empire offers both an analysis of contemporary US war culture and an intervention into it in the hope of making the US a healthier democracy. Focusing on the intersection of politics, popular culture, and myth, and deftly integrating theory, method, and substantive content, Ivie and Giner provide a map of the current US public sphere in ways that will interest academics as well as practitioners and prove useful for courses in rhetoric, history, and political science.Mary E.

Heaney is presented here at the centre of a worldwide network of correspondents, and what emerges is a vivid sense of both the great writer and the living man.»(Seamus Perry, Fellow of Balliol College and Tutor in English Literature, Professor of English, University of Oxford)«I just finished reading it. I found it very touching; Heaney's influence on such a wide circle of correspondents comes through with great force.»(Professor Marc Mulholland, Senior Tutor, St Catherine's College, Oxford)Seamus Heaney wrote hundreds of letters and postcards in long hand, answering almost all the letters he received from friends, fellow poets, university professors, arts councils and of course from ordinary fans. He was not only a master of English prose and poetry, but was also highly skilled in the art of writing letters.The author has selected fragments and parts of this vast correspondence to show how we can see the portrait of the man himself from the way in which he interacted with others.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 82 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book provides concrete examples of humanizing collectivist critical pedagogy, which creates a learning space with students, values their mutual-agency, and invites them to play a leading role in remaking higher education. It redefines student success to include an understanding of positionality, macro social structures, and agency. Each class activity shared in this book is grounded in deep interdisciplinary theory and has been tested in community college-some of the most diverse humanities classrooms in the U.S. The contributing authors present their teaching praxis with examples of program administration, extracurricular programs, and pedagogical professional development that further extend their pedagogy beyond the classroom. We hope to help administrators, staff, faculty, and students of all levels in higher education take what the authors have learnt, build upon it, and adapt pieces of it to fi t their institutional environment and structures.Given the manner in which the debilitating structures of schooling continue to reinforce the dehumanization and alienation of students worldwide, Humanizing, Community-Based, Critical Pedagogy offers educators powerful insights into how they can enact a praxis of empowerment and transformation. The volume is truly an outstanding addition to the critical pedagogy literature.Antonia Darder, Professor Emerita of Ethics and Moral Leadership, Loyola Marymount UniversityThis invaluable book offers a range of essays in support of an engaged pedagogy designed to help students, and especially students of color, have the tools they need for agency, critical thinking, and empowerment in a world where those are necessary life skills. The combination of theory and practical advice will be invaluable to any instructor and especially those in community colleges.Cathy N.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This edited volume employs a case study approach to examine communication surrounding the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The text is accessible to upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, while also useful for scholars' teaching and research. The chapters are written by a diverse group of scholars and experts in a wide-array of communication contexts-from public relations and advertising to health, organizational, and political communication, and beyond. The chapters focus on the many ways professionals and laypersons employed crisis communication. This text is valuable in that it includes perspectives on crisis communication in the initial onset, crisis mitigation and long-term recovery stages of the crisis communication cycle. Examining a crisis in the mitigation and long-term recovery stages provides a lens into the process of crisis messaging and sensemaking. These case studies provide context not only for how professionals and laypersons handled COVID-19, but also how to approach other long-term, or prolonged, crises in the future.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 414 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Most books about presidential rhetoric focus on the United States. Few American communication scholars concentrate on Central and Eastern Europe. Media pundits and scholars alike framed this region as a place used for the United States' or Russia's Cold War ends-even after the Cold War ended. Beyond the Cold War: Presidential Rhetoric in Central and Eastern Europe brings scholars from Central and Eastern Europe and the United States together to study presidential rhetoric to make a compelling case for treating the leaders of the region with their own agency, rather than as agents of others.As postcolonial agents, leaders in the region have taken contrasting positions, avoiding the influence of post-Soviet politics and the pull toward westernization. Chapters offer insight into the connections and influence of presidential rhetoric in Central and Eastern Europe to contextualize and better understand how the rhetoric has either helped or hindered the development of democratic principles in the region many decades past the period of the 'transition.' This book contributes to the understanding of international rhetoric by studying leaders and exchanges in which they meet-in state visits or as candidates debating. This book will be an invaluable resource for students of rhetoric and scholars interested in the communication of presidents in Central and Eastern Europe.'Beyond the Cold War lives up to its title. This collection of smart, insightful, and liberatory studies of Eastern Europe in the rhetorical imaginary of assorted presidents dispenses with outdated frameworks and, instead, takes these nations on their own terms. As these nations assert an ever more important role in international affairs, this book will become indispensable to those who want to understand their history and discourse.' John M.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book's focus is on freedom of speech and what content can place it in jeopardy. The sources, discussions and limitations of free speech, the relationship between ideology, freedom of speech in the media, and public issues are analyzed. From historical point of view, the citizens of more or less democratic societies assume freedom of speech as a basic right to challenge dictatorships, totalitarianisms and authority of any kind. Freedom of speech cannot be understood without the fundamental principles of democratic society, including a tolerance of others, their right to express various and unique opinions, open to challenge by others, and requiring mutual respect. Three domains for social responsibility concerning freedom of speech are addressed: practical, ecological and creative.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 210 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Monograph focuses on the analysis of securitizing speech acts produced by major actors in Slovak public discourse, primarily left and right populists. In the case studies attention is centered on the nature of produced utterances, especially at the lexical level, with an emphasis on speech tactics and discourse strategies. With these intentions in mind, the researchers investigate how alleged threats are verbalized, which linguistic devices the producers of threat articulations most frequently employ in presenting them, and what persuasive effects can result from their usage. The authors also focused their research on metaphors and used the tools of corpus linguistics in their analysis. This research falls within the fields of political linguistics and linguistic pragmatics. In their analyses, the authors focus on pressing social issues such as migration, the war in Ukraine, public health issues, economic crisis, and other 'pre-election' populist topics.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 152 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This volume should be understood in the context of the 'postdramatic' and 'postspectacular' paradigms that have questioned traditional concepts regarding the representation and the role of the spectator in the creation of meaning and that have also emphasized the importance of performativity as a strategy enabling new scenic perspectives. It therefore dealswith a new 'expansive' textuality that relates to the 'social turn' in theatrical and artistic practices, embodied in the diffusion of interventionist, collaborative, dialogical or participative forms. These dissonant and anti-hegemonic forms can be located in the civic commitment that has characterized the Spanish stage in recent years.In this volume, the reader will find discussions of the most important figures of recent Spanish theatre, i.e. writers and companies whose work has contributed decisively to the reconfiguration of the role of the spectator, , including Los Torreznos, Angélica Liddell, Roger Bernat, La Ribot, Antonio Fernández Lera, Rodrigo García, El Canto de la Cabra, Laila Ripoll, Mariano Llorente, Andrés Lima, Pablo Remón, Álex Rigola, La Fura dels Baus, and A Panadaría.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 322 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Criticized as parsimonious and cruel in the later 1800s, the Poor Law for Scotland was first passed in 1845 as a frankly humanitarian measure in response to desperate poverty on display in Paisley and elsewhere in the early 1840s. Poor Law Inspector James Shaw Brown of Paisley Burgh Parish, a compassionate, detail-oriented bureaucrat, was charged with alleviating suffering while limiting expense. In his four-decade career he served the poor, the parochial board, and rate payers of the parish, weaving their conflicting needs and demands though the arcane rules of the law. Inspector Brown and colleagues across the nation interpreted and debated the meaning of the law in correspondence and the courts for decades before it approached its final form. This bookdelves into Inspector Brown's life and records to reveal how poverty and the poor law shaped life experiences for tens of thousands of ordinary Scots in the middle years of the nineteenth century.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 232 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -«This reader-friendly study of some of Ciaran Carson's major translations provides fascinating illuminations of his techniques as a translator and author. Anne Rainey's close readings, buoyed by selected theory, show how Carson's aesthetics and imagination were fuelled by linguistic and cultural pluralism.»(Dr Frank Sewell, Poet, Translator, Senior Lecturer in Irish Literature and Creative Writing at Ulster University)«For Ciaran Carson, translation was embedded deep in his DNA. He was fascinated above all else by the shared musicality of words across languages so that translation for him was like a resonance chamber, always sounding, always musical. This book is timely and important, because it offers us a detailed and always sensitive account of how translation was not simply something that Ciaran did, but was an experience central to how he felt about and used language as a writer.»(Professor David Johnston, Literary Translator, Professor of Translation at Queen's University, Belfast)Ciaran Carson viewed translation as integral to his oeuvre. He imbues his version of Dante's acclaimed Inferno with modern socio-political concerns, placing it in a partly Irish context, beyond any border. Like Dante, he shows his regard for vernacular speech and provides dizzying perspectives switching from courtly love language to quotidian banter.In his translation of Rimbaud, Carson completely dismantles the nineteenth-century texts before newly assembling them in translation. He employs dictionaries, musical rhythms and modern Hiberno-English slang to create Alexandrine sonnets and rhyming couplets forging Rimbaud's fin de siècle French into a new cultural rendering.Carson's quick-witted and emotionally charged translations call for an original analytical framework. This book contributes to Translation Studies by presenting an original Hybrid Gricean Theory melding Gricean and neo-Gricean linguistic theories with pertinent translation theories to elucidate Carson's techniques.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 338 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -«This relevant, clearly defined study isn't constricted by its primary focus on late nineteenth-century American utopias, written when inequality flourished. Morris enriches this focus with chronological comparisons to well-known and lesser-known American utopias in other periods; international contexts from non-American authors; and interpretive perspectives by utopian specialists, political scientists, philosophers, and sociologists. But the book's most striking quality is the variety of reforms identified and discussed. This variety greatly enhances our understanding of utopists' war on inequality.»(Kenneth M. Roemer, Emeritus Fellow, University of Texas System Academy of Distinguished Teachers. Author of The Obsolete Necessity, Utopian Audiences, and (ed.) America as Utopia«Utopian alternatives to current, persistent and increasing inequality matter: as William Blake said, 'What is now proved was once, only imagin'd', and so Donald Morris examines a wealth of possibilities, some outlandish, but all conceivable, and many eminently feasible, from a tradition of literary and imaginative forms of political and social theory. A hopeful and invigorating read.»(Tom Boland, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University College Cork)This work explores what utopian writers have said about economic inequality. Its transdisciplinary focus is literary utopias-novels of social theory-by authors seeking solutions to the problems of economic inequality. The work challenges our moral assumptions about economic inequality-its potential for resolution-or its inevitability and the ultimate bifurcation of society. It is not an economic treatise but an exploration in social philosophy in its utopian expressions. Economic inequality sets arbitrary limits on whose contributions will benefit society, thereby squandering talent, limiting opportunities, and stifling competition-capriciously restricting the pool of competitors-by class or gender or race. As utopian writers envision a future where the extremes of poverty and wealth have been tempered, it is instructive to explore the instruments they employ; by what measures have they defeated poverty or diminished the threats boundless fortunes pose, thereby revitalizing society Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 368 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In this volume, scholars analyze contemporary Black British and American women¿s fiction that tackles issues of violence and its representations. The book gives readers a wide perspective about recent research on the history of Black women who have been subjected to physical and psychological violence, which defines the identities of those women who suffer it. The psychosocial and emotional consequences of violence leave traces that speak of vulnerability, but they also activate resistance and resilience mechanisms as suppliers of identity and personal agency, as reflected on the female characters and authors studied through this volume. The essays aim at publicizing less known writers who denounce abuse, trauma and discrimination, reflecting resilience and resistance mechanisms and taking the ethical rethinking of how we are building our social and culture relations.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 188 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This volume explores the development towards mass digitisation and datafication and its transforming influence on our way of organising our cultural knowledge and heritage. In this context, cultural recycling plays a crucial role, even if it is in itself not a new phenomenon. However, the quality and quantity of recycling processes have altered profoundly in the postdigital age. The contributions of this volume consider various manifestations of these recycling processes and practices by providing the reader with a wide range of different case studies. Their authors highlight characteristic features of postdigital recycling that differ from the qualities of recycling processes and practices in previous periods. What the case studies show are the different recyclings of canonical texts, folktales, and cultural productions in new postdigital environments, but also what happens to history and memory in today's times and even how self-declared pre-digital authors cannot escape postdigital strategies for cultural recycling.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 304 pp. Englisch.…
