Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist das Fehlen einer einzelfallspezifischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Rolle der Rechtsphilosophie im Nationalsozialismus. Konkret standen drei Fragen zur Untersuchung und Beantwortung an: Die Frage, ob und in welchem Ausmaß Rechtswissenschaft und Rechtspraxis als 'willige Erfüllungsgehilfen' der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie fungiert haben; die Frage ob es eine 'Rechtsphilosophie des Nationalsozialismus' gab und welches ihre Merkmale waren. Ferner die Frage, ob die beiden bislang als einheitliche Erklärungsmuster verwendeten Grundthesen zum einen einer bereits zu Zeiten der Weimarer Republik bestehenden großen Affinität der rechtsphilosophischen Lehre zur Ideologie des Nationalsozialismus, zum anderen des fehlenden deutlichen Widerstandes aufgrund der Intention, 'Schlimmeres verhüten' zu wollen, tatsächlich in erschöpfender und zutreffender Weise die Motive und Reaktionsformen der rechtsphilosophischen Lehre im Nationalsozialismus beschreiben.; Dissertationsschrift.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is not always clear what actually constitutes «sexual harassment» or how it differs from other types of discrimination based on gender. Often, what is thought of as sexual harassment by one person might be considered simply rude or immature behavior by another. While sexual harassment is a major issue in American workplaces and schools, there is no bona fide consensus as to what sexual harassment really is. This book is designed to bring together material on an issue that is currently troubling most workplaces and schools in the United States: the problem of how to deal with a distressing increase in sexual harassment claims in all areas of American life. It does not attempt to answer all of the questions of how best to prevent sexual harassment while preserving the rights of the accused - no book can provide such answers; rather, it is designed to provide readers with a variety of material to begin the journey of discovering these answers for themselves. 352 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In a dozen original essays, contributors to Symbolic Childhood engage directly with the politics of representation by scrutinizing the connection between the exercise of power and portrayals of children and childhood. The volume as a whole construes childhood not as a given category, transparently understood, but as a thoroughly social artifact infused with contradictory and inexact meaning. As a social construct, childhood is thus approached as an active production which can be taken apart and reconstructed in a variety of ways, and for a variety of purposes. Chapters examine a range of issues and topics, including: precocious and gifted children, gender, sexuality, innocence, school shootings, cartoons, video games, adoption, street children, and feral children. 296 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -New Readings in American Drama, an anthology of some of the best essays that have been published in the scholarly journal, American Drama, showcases the latest research and applies the newest theoretical approaches to the huge body of writing for the American stage, screen, and television. Rounding-up all the usual canonical subjects from O'Neill to Miller to Mamet, this book also highlights marginalized writers from earlier decades of the twentieth century and stresses the work of women and African-American playwrights. Although many people sheepishly confess that they rarely read poetry or fiction once they leave school, most must admit that they are daily viewers of drama, a ubiquitous experience that people enjoy on television, videos, and at the movies. This popular ascendancy of drama bolsters the argument for using the classroom to raise the level of discussion of what students are actually going to watch for the rest of their lives - and this book provides the tools to facilitate that conversation. 286 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Recreating heart is a reinvention of the passion for the love of learning that seems to be missing in our standards-driven curriculum. Based on postmodern logics of relationship, systems, and meaning, (emerging from process philosophies, complex adaptive systems, learning organization theories, and language-games approaches), a dynamic curriculum is conveyed that will allow us to change our way of seeing. This «change of aspect» is necessary for transforming schooling and rejecting the underlying logic of domination inherent in our existing social structures and pervading current debates about schooling. Ultimately, «recreating heart» entails inventing new meaning structures and language games, creating a new way of seeing schooling, and transforming ideas about teaching, learning, society, and the curriculum. 218 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Two of the most intense movements for political secession from India had been staged in the two 'tribal' states of Northeast India, namely Nagaland and Mizoram. Because the two states record the country's highest percentage of Christian populations, Christian missions in the Northeast have been suspected and accused of having played clandestine roles. This book challenges this presumptuous allegation, and proposes that the root of the ethno-political movements must be sought in the identity-formation process of the people. The Northeast tribals' resentment to the depressing political identity imposed on them and their resistance to the threat of domination are identified as the immediate factors for the ethnopolitical revolutions. The development of Christianity in Mizoram is selected as the focus of the study. The study discloses that the Mizo Christian experience of ecstatic revivals uniquely interlaced Christianity with the people's cultural identity, engendering the spirit of Mizo ethnonationalism. The emergent people's strong sense of identity resisted the threat of cultural domination and political assimilation by the Indic India. 205 pp. Englisch.

Roosevelt to the Polish Prime Minister Wladyslaw Sikorski's conception of creating a Central and East European federation presented in 1942. Despite the President's sweeping statement, the idea of the federation was given serious consideration by the Advisory Committee of the Department of State. The documents from the National Archives in Washington presented here show that the road to a united Europe could have led through the integration of its Eastern part. This study presents new insights into such issues as the American Advisers' opinion on the role of the federation, the situation on the Eastern front, and how this influenced the fate of the federation. 244 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In Parallel Practices, a social justice-focused elementary teacher educator narrates her own experience with the rationale for selected lessons from critical literacy, equity-oriented multiculturalism, and pedagogical practice courses. She examines the «parallel practice» implications of her own curriculum with graduate students for the work her students will do with children. Regenspan situates her practices in a unique interpretation of John Dewey's thinking - one that suggests a standpoint for both her own curriculum-making and that of her students in opposition to the division of labor into thinking work and doing work. Using Dewey's later thinking, which calls for the integration of «mind-body in wholeness of operation,» Regenspan insists that the work of social justice-focused education is equally political and spiritual.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 198 pp. Englisch.

The establishment of the monetary union and the European Central Bank constitutes a major step towards greater economic, social and political integration between the Member States of the European Union, and is therefore a momentous event in European history. What do the historically given preconditions of a European political economy mean in practice and theory in terms of future possibilities With a historical perspective on European monetary integration, from the strains in the dollar-based Bretton Woods order in the 1960s and earlier, the Werner Plan around 1970, and the internal market in the 1980s to the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, future prospects of EMU are discussed. The book is based on the reflections of a working group at the European University Institute in Florence in operation from 1999 to 2001. The fifteen chapters are organised in clusters on the historical and conceptual setting, on financial institutions and economic theory, on social practices and legal framework, and on future prospects. Historians, philosophers, economists, political scientists and sociologists contribute to this interdisciplinary attempt to come to terms with both the preconditions and the prospects of EMU. 494 pp. Englisch.

Geburtstag von seinen Freunden, Kollegen und Schülern zugeeignet. Dem vielseitigen, recht unterschiedliche Aspekte natürlicher Sprachen berücksichtigenden Werk des Jubilars entsprechend, umfasst der Band Studien zu drei verschiedenen, doch miteinander verbundenen Bereichen: zur Philologie (einschließlich sprachkultureller Aspekte), zur Sprachtypologie und zur Sprachstruktur (sowohl zur Struktur einzelner Sprachen als auch zum Sprachvergleich). Einen Schwerpunkt bilden Untersuchungen zu kaukasischen Sprachen, ganz besonders zum Georgischen, wobei in vielfältiger Weise an Analysen des Jubilars angeknüpft wurde.This festschrift is cordially and respectfully dedicated to the linguist Winfried Boeder (University of Oldenburg, Germany) to honour him as a friend, colleague and teacher on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Winfried Boeder is not only one of the most distinguished scholars of Caucasian languages but he is also widely recognised for the great and continuing contribution he has made to the field of general and comparative linguistics. Accordingly, the present volume includes papers on three separate but related areas: philology (both from a linguistic and cultural point of view), language typology and language structure (including comparative studies). The 25 contributions are thus held together by the links they have with various aspects of Winfried Boeder's work. Georgian, a language for which he has a particular affection, is the topic of a large number of papers, both from a synchronic and diachronic point of view. 438 pp. Englisch, Deutsch, Russisch.
