Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book identifies how church cultural components are created, developed, and used to educate and empower adherents, and whether and how these tools are associated with the historic Black Church. The book is particularly interested in how large Black congregations ¿ megachurches ¿ use rituals found in worship, theology, racial beliefs, programmatic efforts, and other tools from their cultural repertoire to instruct congregants to model success in word and deed. The book¿s findings illustrate that Black megachurches strive to model success on various fronts by tapping into effective historic Black Church tools and creating cultural kits that foster excitement, expectation, and entitlement.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Ecological education is becoming a major area of interest worldwide, and schools are increasingly being called upon to address global and local ecological concerns. Unfortunately, most teachers have limited or no training in the knowledge and skills required to support their students¿ sense of connection to the natural world. Moreover, they have been trained to teach in ways that often marginalize the imagination in learning. This book illustrates how imagination and the development of ecological understanding are closely connected. It offers teachers a practical guide to teaching in ecological and imaginative ways ¿ needed support to establishing more ecologically-oriented education in all classrooms. As imagination takes a central position in schools, all teaching and learning can improve as a result.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the ways young people engage in action, dialogue, and activism, and how they become global citizens. The essays in the book illustrate how young people with deep convictions on how to change the world make a difference in their communities. The community becomes the classroom, and their activism the true lesson. Possible «utopias» are realized with every effort to engage in activism, to be an advocate for both oneself and others, and with each critical engagement with oppression. These young activists are the unsung heroes and theirs are the victories in current educational debates. Moving away from theoretical debates on multicultural and progressive education, this book illustrates how youth action, curriculum strategies and creative writing, service learning projects, advocacy work at community-based and grassroots organizations, and global initiatives can result in real-life victories.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 344 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The formative role played by digital communication in knowledge-based societies is widely acknowledged.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The second revised edition of The Hollywood Curriculum analyzes over 165 films distributed throughout the United States over the last 80 years to construct a theory of curriculum in the movies that is grounded in cultural studies and critical pedagogy. The portrayal of teachers in popular movies focuses on individual effort rather than collective action, and relies on stock characters and predictable plots, precluding meaningful struggle. Conformation to these conventions ensures the ultimate outcome of the screen narratives and almost always leaves the educational institution¿which represents the larger status quöintact and dominant. To interrogate the 'Hollywood curriculum' is to ask what it means as a culture to be responsive to films at both social and personal levels, and to engage these films as both entertaining and potentially transforming. 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Cross-Media Promotion is the first book-length study of a defining feature of contemporary media, the promotion by media of their allied media interests. The book explores the range of forms of cross-promotion including synergistic marketing of mega-brands such as Harry Potter; promotional plugs in news media; repurposing media content, stars and brands across other media and outlets; product placement, and the integration of media content and advertising.Incorporating specialist literature, yet written in a clear, accessible style, the book combines three areas of study: media industry practices, media policy, and media theory. It examines the dynamics of cross-media promotion across converging media, drawing on a range of examples from the United States and the United Kingdom. Synergy and intertextuality are explored alongside critical debates about the ¿problems¿ of cross-promotion. The book also offers a critical evaluation of media policy responses from the late 1980s to the present, which the book argues, have failed to grapple with the problems of media power, market power and commercialism generated by intensifying cross-media promotion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 352 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This edited volume seeks to redress the lack of scholarly work that takes promotion seriously as a form of social, cultural, political, and economic exchange. It unpacks the vernacular, the institutional structures, and the practices and performances that make up promotional culture in everyday life, offering diverse critical perspectives on how, as citizens, consumers, and users, we absorb, navigate, confront, and resist its influence. Contributions from both renowned scholars and emerging intellectuals make this book a timely and valuable contribution to the fields of media and communication studies, political science, cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology. 348 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -An Introduction to the History of Communication: Evolutions and Revolutions provides a comprehensive overview of how human communication has changed and is changing. Focusing on the evolutions and revolutions of six key changes in the history of communication ¿ becoming human; creating writing; developing print; capturing the image; harnessing electricity; and exploring cybernetics ¿ the author reveals how communication was generated, stored, and shared. This ecological approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the key variables that underlie each of these great evolutions-revolutions in human communication. Designed as an introduction for history of communication classes, the text examines the past, attempting to identify the key dynamics of change in these human, technical, semiotic, social, political, economic, and cultural structures, in order to better understand the present and prepare for possible future developments.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 392 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has achieved celebrity status in many Western countries, yet despite considerable effort to prove its existence as a «real» disorder, ADHD still suffers from a crisis of legitimacy. Nonetheless, diagnosis and prescription of medication has grown at a phenomenal rate since the late 1980s, particularly in Western culture. Numerous accounts exist explaining how the ADHD diagnosis functions as a convenient administrative loophole, providing schools with a medical explanation for school failure, medication to sedate the «problem» into submission, or the means to eject children from mainstream classrooms.This book provides a more holistic interpretation of how to respond to children who might otherwise be diagnosed with and medicated for «ADHD» ¿ a diagnosis which, whether scientifically valid or not, is unhelpful within the confine of the school. Training teachers to recognise and identify «ADHD symptoms» or to understand the functions of restricted pharmaceuticals will only serve to increase the number of children diagnosed and the sale of psychoactive medications. Research has shown that such activities will not help those children learn, nor will it empower their classroom teachers to take responsibility for teaching such children well. This book seeks to provide school practitioners with knowledge that is useful within the educational context to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for children who might otherwise receive a diagnosis of ADHD.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 240 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Nowadays the issues of space and place pertain more than ever to the ongoing discussion about personal/regional/national identities. The worlds of private archives of memory often exist independently of political and administrative divisions, while dominant ideologies are often capable of re-defining national archives of memory through selective representation of the past. The way we remember our past and our heritage inscribes the space we live in: the places we remember and the places we wish to forget, the monuments we pull down and erect and the museums we build are only some of the signposts on the landscape of our cultural memory. The essays collected in this volume examine the role of places and spaces in the formation of both cultural practices and the existential experience of modern individual. 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book is about experiences of personal chaos and their relationship to creativity. It presents evidence that creativity emerges where it seems totally unlikely, in things and places which are not usually associated with it: catastrophe, utter hopelessness and desperation, grief and depression, social oppression and injustice, failure and boredom. All these are chaotically disruptive of what we usually call ¿quality of life¿. In fact, they are different kinds of chaos, which represents the effective reversal of human meanings, thus bringing home the limitations of simple theorising. In this book the author concentrates on ways in which chaos impels us to make new kinds of sense of life, and to start living in a world which we experience as authentically different from whatever went before. This is chaos as a sustaining presence which is essential for life as it alone permits real change to take place.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -En 2008, le XXIV Colloque International du Corpus Vitrearum voué aux panneaux de vitrail isolés, une catégorie demeurée jusqüici occultée par les verrières monumentales, a tenu plus que des promesses, sortant de l¿ombre un pan de patrimoine méconnu pour en révéler l¿importance.Dans cette publication, les historiens du vitrail réussissent, grâce à leurs contributions, à stimuler la discussion des questions de terminologie, de diffusion et de développement historique de ces vitraux et permettent d¿évoquer leur cadre architectural. Certains auteurs abordent ce thème sous l¿angle méthodologique en prenant en compte des questions en rapport avec l¿actualité de l¿histoire de l¿art, notamment à l¿égard de la visualité et de la matérialité de ces objets. La plupart des auteurs font partie des quatorze comités nationaux du Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi et sont des historiens d¿art spécialistes du vitrail reconnus sur le plan international.Mit dem kleinformatigen Glasgemälde oder der «Einzelscheibe» hat sich das 2008 durchgeführte XXIV.Internationale Kolloquium des Corpus Vitrearum eines Themas angenommen, das bislang stets im Schatten der monumentalen Glasmalerei stand. Durch das Zürcher Kolloquium hat dieses lange vernachlässigte kulturelle Erbe nun erstmals eine seiner Bedeutung entsprechende Würdigung erfahren. Dass die Einzelscheiben ein Glasmalereipatrimonium darstellen, das eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung verdient, zeigen die in der Publikation veröffentlichten Beiträge, die den Gegenstand zum Beispiel unter terminologischen, entwicklungsgeschichtlichen, methodologischen und medientheoretischen Blickwinkeln betrachten. Die meisten Autoren sind Mitglieder der Nationalkomitees des Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi und international anerkannte Spezialisten auf dem Gebiet der Glasmalerei.The XXIV International Colloquium of the Corpus Vitrearum in 2008 was devoted to the single stained-glass panel, a category that has long been overshadowed by monumental stained glass. The Colloquium more than lived up to expectations, turning the spotlight on this little-known area of our cultural heritage and revealing its full importance. The papers presented in this publication have stimulated discussion on questions of terminology, the distribution and historical development of these panels, and their architectural context. Certain authors, moreover, have approached the topic from a methodological point of view, taking into account current discourse in art history, particularly with regard to visuality and materiality. The majority of the authors are members of one of the fourteen national committees of the Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi; they are stained-glass specialists of international renown. 270 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Johannes Brahms was until now widely regarded as the archetype of the «absolute musician». Based on new research, the study shows how close autobiographic and poetic elements are in fact linked to his ¿uvre. Like Robert Schumann, Brahms subscribed to an aesthetic of «poetic» music. In many of his compositions he got his inspiration from personal experiences, poems or images, as is shown by hitherto unpublished documents, letters, and diary entries, as well as from close analyses of individual works. Brahms¿s personality, too, is seen in a new way. He adopted Joseph Joachim¿s motto «Frei, aber einsam», «Free but Alone». The tonal code F ¿ A ¿ E, the musical symbol of this, recurs frequently in his works. Not least, the English version of the book, originally published in German in 1997, includes four additional chapters that investigate novel aspects by dealing in detail with the First Symphony, the German Requiem, Nänie and the Four Serious Songs. The American Brahms Society stressed the importance of the study for all those who want to come to know the unknown Brahms. 302 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Indirect and Direct Aggression consists of 24 chapters written by distinguished scholars within the field of aggression research, covering indirect aggression, bullying in schools, adult bullying, and societal and biological aspects of aggression. Indirect aggression is the most typical form of aggression used by women in most cultures. It is an aggressive strategy that is carried out by means of social manipulation that enables the perpetrator to go unnoticed and thereby escape retaliation. Knowledge about indirect aggression and its mechanisms is crucial for all anti-bullying efforts, among children and adults alike. Although briefly covered in early research on human aggression, the study of indirect aggression originates, beginning from the mid-1980s, from a research group in Finland, lead by Professor Kaj Björkqvist of Åbo Akademi University. The book can be used as a textbook at university level. 434 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Roman Catholic Church has always been concerned with the quality of the music used in the liturgy, and the essays in this volume trace the church¿s efforts, during the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, to cultivate a more appropriate liturgical music for its Latin Rite. The task of restoration ¿ expressed, for example, in the chant revival associated with the monks of Solesmes, the efforts of the Cecilian movement, and Pius X¿s determination to reform sacred music in the universal church ¿ is a recurring theme in the book. Meanwhile resistance, particularly to the reforms decreed by the pope¿s 1903 motu proprio, also finds a voice in the volume. The essays collected here describe selected scenes and episodes from the unending story of imperfect human beings trying to express in their music the perfection of God. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Denkmäler sind Zeichen der Erinnerung, die zu Ehren herausragender Persönlichkeiten und zum Gedenken an historische Ereignisse errichtet werden. Was aber, wenn sie an Ereignisse erinnern, deren man sich nicht mehr rühmen kann, wenn sie zu «Steinen des Anstoßes» geworden sind Ein solches Denkmal kann man abreißen. Man kann seine Aussage aber auch mit einem Gegendenkmal kritisch hinterfragen. Die spannungsreiche Wechselwirkung zwischen Denkmal und Gegendenkmal wirkt nicht nur aktiv einer Verdrängung entgegen, sondern regt zum Nachdenken und zum gewissenhaften Umgang mit Geschichte an.Anhand der ausführlichen Analyse ausgewählter Fallbeispiele wird eine große Bandbreite dieser Sonderform des Denkmals beleuchtet. Die Autorin legt damit die bisher umfangreichste kunsthistorische Behandlung des Themas Gegendenkmal vor.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 336 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -How have media constructions around terrorism changed since 9.11 This book analyses the ways that language is employed in the media to reference discourses around terrorism in different social systems and doctrines, and illustrates the ways in which news reporting around terrorism is filtered according to a wide range of phenomena including national interests, the goals of those who run the press, international relations, methods of news production, audience targeting and other historical, political and social factors.This book collects and analyses corpora from news articles in the two most widely read newspapers in China and the UK. Corpus techniques including frequency and keyness are merged with methods associated with critical discourse analysis particularly investigation of social context. This book shows that there is a wide range of possible discursive constructions of terrorism in the media. Such different perspectives are likely to shape national or even global opinion on how to tackle terrorism. 290 pp. Englisch.

Their contributions can be summoned up under three headings: Identification and Assessment, Normative Reflections and Alternative Modes of Governance.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -During the twentieth century Macedonia had a very turbulent history. Essentially, the region became the apple of discord among the Balkan states. Ethnic identity formation among immigrants from Macedonia to Canada followed the political developments in the Balkans.This book illustrates the late emergence of an ethnic Macedonian community in Toronto and the roots of the clash between the Macedonian, Greek and Bulgarian ethnic communities. The author tackles a number of important questions: When did the Macedonian ethnic identity start in Canada What was the ethnic affiliation of the first Macedonian immigrants¿ cultural organizations and churches in Toronto Why did they use the Bulgarian language Why do their first churches continue to be called Macedono-Bulgarian churches Did all immigrants have one monolithic ethnic identity The author relies upon three different types of literature: national identity development and theories; Balkan history; and ethnic studies of the Bulgarian, Macedonian and Greek settlements of Toronto. Oral interviews, conducted in Toronto by the author and other researchers, enhance this volume. The book sheds light on a much contested subject which continues to fuel debate from Skopje, Athens and Sofia to Toronto and Melbourne.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 332 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Previous criticism has not adequately discussed oriental aspects of the content of Shakespearean drama. In addition to his portrayal of oriental figures (such as Cleopatra, Othello, and Shylock) and his use of literary genres and motifs that have roots in oriental tradition (such as that of the tragic romance in Romeo and Juliet, there are certain key elements in Shakespeare¿s thought and outlook that can only be properly understood within the larger contribution of the oriental legacy. This legacy has clear relevance not only to the exemplary fate of the lovers in Romeo and Juliet, but also to the destinies of such major Shakespearean heroes as Hamlet and Lear. Shakespeare, the Orient, and the Critics investigates the boundaries of oriental framework within works such as Hamlet, King Lear, and The Tempest. Stylistically, at the heart of Shakespeare¿s orientalism are two long-recognized features of his dramatic art: his predilection for reversing stereotypes and his sympathy and identification with the alien and the «other.» This can be most clearly seen in the love tragedies of Othello and Anthony and Cleopatra as well as the romantic comedy of The Merchant of Venice. Ultimately, the philosophic underpinning of such works is a special expression of Renaissance humanism that transcends the boundaries of class, race, and culture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 158 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -From the first stirrings of modernism to contemporary poetics, the modernist aesthetic project could be described as a form of phenomenological reduction that attempts to return to the invisible and unsayable foundations of human perception and expression, prior to objective points of view and scientific notions. It is this aspect of modernism that this book brings to the fore. The essays presented here bring into focus the contemporary face of ongoing debates about phenomenology and modernism. The contributors forcefully underline the intertwining of modernism and phenomenology and the extent to which the latter offers a clue to the former.The book presents the viewpoints of a range of internationally distinguished critics and scholars, with diverse but closely related essays covering a wide range of fields, including literature, architecture, philosophy and musicology. The collection addresses critical questions regarding the relationship between phenomenology and modernism, with reference to thinkers such as Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, Michel Henry and Paul Ricoeur. By examining the contemporary philosophical debates, this cross-disciplinary body of research reveals the pervasive and far-reaching influence of phenomenology, which emerges as a heuristic method to articulate modernist aesthetic concerns. 408 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The objective of this study is to provide an account of the terminology the European Union has created and used with regard to its development cooperation policy since the Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957. For this purpose, a terminological analysis has been conducted, based on a corpus of texts produced by the EU in this domain. A corpus-based approach to terminology has been chosen as it opens up the possibility to gather both conceptual and linguistic as well as usage information about the terminological units. Moreover, it allows the study of terms in the context of communicative situations and enables the analysis of concordances that can be used to reveal possible ideological aspects of the terminology involved. The book not only provides a detailed and comprehensive report on the status quo of the EU¿s terminology in this field. It also reflects the evolution of its terminology since the establishment of a common European development cooperation policy and thus against the background of an ever-changing socio-economic and political situation. The findings are meant to contribute to a better knowledge and understanding of European development cooperation policy as well as to help improve communication between professionals in European and national bodies. 310 pp. Englisch.
