Sie überschreitet die Grenzen der Auslegung und steht in Konkurrenz zur Lückenfüllung durch das dispositive Recht. Obwohl sie zum Grundinventar der vertraglichen Methodik gehört, herrscht Unsicherheit über ihre Voraussetzungen und den Anwendungsbereich. Die Autorin weist auf Basis einer Analyse der Voraussetzungen der Vertragslücke und vor allem anhand von Leitentscheidungen nach, dass es zwei grundsätzlich zu unterscheidende Formen der ergänzenden Vertragsauslegung gibt, die beide ihre Berechtigung haben: die individuelle, den konkreten Vertrag zu Ende denkende sowie die generelle Lücken des dispositiven Rechts überbrückende Form. 118 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Intercultural Communication as a Clash of Civilizations argues that Al-Jazeera is not an agent of globalization, as is widely argued, but a tool used by the Qatari government to advance its political as well as Islamist goals. This book also maps the Western tendency to reject the network outright despite Al-Jazeera's billion-dollar investments designed to gain entrance into Western markets; it shows empirically that this rejection is similarly rooted in religious, cultural and national motives. This book asserts that the main outcome of Al-Jazeera's activities is the promotion of religious and cultural conflicts. The network persistently portrays global events through the prism of conflicting religious and cultural values - propelling a clash of civilizations as per Samuel P. Huntington's well-known thesis. 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race meaningless, yet is deeply divided by race In the face of pervasive racial inequality and segregation, most white people cannot answer that question. In the second edition of this seminal text, Robin DiAngelo reveals the factors that make this question so difficult: mis-education about what racism is; ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; segregation; and the belief that to be complicit in racism is to be an immoral person. These factors contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy. Speaking as a white person to other white people, DiAngelo clearly and compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white socialization. Weaving research, analysis, stories, images, and familiar examples, she provides the framework needed to develop white racial literacy. She describes how race shapes the lives of white people, explains what makes racism so hard to see, identifies common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular narratives that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible overview on white identity from an anti-racist framework, What Does It Mean to Be White is an invaluable resource for members of diversity and anti-racism programs and study groups, and students of sociology, psychology, education, and other disciplines. This revised edition features two new chapters, including one on DiAngelo's influential concept of white fragility. Written to be accessible both within and without academia, this revised edition also features discussion questions, an index, and a glossary. 382 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -History and Education is a text that engages the history of the global class war, from the United States to the former Soviet Union, from the People's Republic of China to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in order to contribute to the development of communist pedagogy. Central to this communist pedagogy is the struggle for Native American sovereignty and for the self-determination of oppressed nations within the U.S. Pedagogical theory is mobilized to highlight the centrality of seizing state power in the movement for transforming capitalist production relations and bourgeois society into socialist relations and a communist form of society premised on the self-determination of racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities. In the process History and Education challenges both the white chauvinism of pure proletarian communists as well as the anti-communism that, for decades, has dominated the Left in general, and the educational Left in particular, especially in the U.S. The book contributes to the current resurgence in the popularity and appeal of socialism as an achievable and necessary internationalist, solidarity-based alternative to capitalism. 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Disability Studies in Education (DSE) provides a useful and compelling framework for re-envisioning the possibility of education for all students. However, the philosophies of Disability Studies (DS) can be seen as contradictory to many mainstream values and practices in K-12 education. In an ever-shifting educational landscape, where students with disabilities continue to face marginalization and oppression, teachers and teacher educators are seeking ways to address these educational inequities. They desire realistic and specific ways to work toward social justice, from within the confines of current education systems. Enacting Change from Within aims to provide a framework through which to analyze and address policy and practice in education, offering practical yet visionary ways to frame social justice work in schools that consider the day-to-day responsibilities of teachers. This book is intended to encourage an important dialogue on how to do the work of education from a DS perspective while complying with the often incongruous and deeply entrenched policy and practice requirements in our schools. This book is ideal for current and future teachers seeking to create more just, equitable and inclusive schools. 368 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As corporations ramp up «workforce globalization» and young professionals increasingly pursue opportunities to work abroad, social entrepreneurs use online digital platforms to create offline social events where foreigners can meet face-to-face. Through ethnographic study of such groups in Paris, Singapore, and Bangalore, Erika Polson illustrates how, as a new generation of expatriates uses location technologies to create mobile «places,» a new global middle class is emerging. While there are many differences in the specifics between the expat groups, they share certain characteristics that indicate a larger logic to the way that the increasing mobility of professional career paths is connected to new subjectivities and changing forms of community among a diverse and growing demographic. This book opens up a new field of study, one which pays more attention to middle class mobility while questioning the privileging of mobility more generally. 210 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The business models of traditional media are experiencing a profound crisis. One of the core issues of this crisis is the increasing breakdown of the value chain model - a model based on the numbers of readers, viewers, and users which the mass media can «sell» in exchange for advertising revenue. These formerly stable models of the media value chain are now in perpetual flux, requiring adaptation to the rapid changes in technology and the volatility of user preferences. Can media companies cope with these new circumstances and at the same time fulfill their traditional roles This volume addresses this question, and others, to explore scenarios, phenomena, and developments which point to new configurations arising from new media business models, innovative ways in which media practitioners engage their audiences, intercontinental media phenomena, user-generated content, and the general disconnect between print and online media paradigms. Contributors point to a way out of the general bewilderment, providing answers to frequently asked questions, and ideas for new guidelines and solutions. 276 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book argues for - and carries out - what the author terms Heightened Performative Autoethnography (HPA). The common theme throughout the volume involves resisting oppressive and hegemonic spaces within paradigms, and hence seeking epistemological liberation. The text methodologically and conceptually situates this newly proposed variant of autoethnography, while contextualizing and justifying its «performed or enacted» theme involving resistance against the oppressiveness of paradigms. The book concludes with an analysis and commentary, demonstrating how this particular theme, and HPA as a research and writing repertoire, are able to meaningfully respond to the eighth moment of contemporary qualitative research, which calls for a critical and social justice agenda directed at empowerment, equity, liberation, and related issues. Heightened Performative Autoethnography could be used in upper-level undergraduate classes and graduate courses within the social sciences, humanities, and education, for courses on critical theory, contemporary research methodology, performative studies, narrative writing, and related subjects. 252 pp. Englisch.

Each chapter illustrates how the impoverished rhetoric of celebrities often privileges the voices of those in the Global North over the efforts of local NGOs who have been working for years at addressing the same humanitarian crises. Whether we are talking about the building of schools for young women in Afghanistan or the satellite surveillance of potential genocidal acts carried out in the Sudan, various forms of celebrity advocacy resonate with scholars and members of the public who want to be seen «doing something.» The author argues that more often than not, celebrity advocacy enhances a celebrity's reputation - but hinders the efforts of those who ask us to pay attention to the historical, structural, and material causes of these humanitarian crises. 286 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The contributors to Written in Her Own Voice illuminate how gender and gender roles affect women's advancement, educational success, and life aspirations. Chapters provide thick, rich descriptions of the authors' lives, using heuristic and phenomenological inquiry as guiding theoretical frameworks. These women write about how power relations within society continue to promote exclusion and marginalization along race, gender, class, and religious lines around the globe. They examine the influences of families, communities, and societies in their educational and professional lives. This unique project has produced fascinating stories from real-life anecdotes, examining the role of families in developing one's sense of self vis-à-vis others and the role of culture and community in the development of personhood. Diasporic experiences give voice to adaptations and changes that occur when two cultures (i.e., Western and native cultures) collide. The authors courageously narrate how they find their voices amidst the noises that threaten to drown them out. 196 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Playing for Change - performing for money and for social justice - introduces a critical pedagogy of arts-based community learning and development (A-CLD), a new discipline wherein artists learn to become educators, social workers, and community economic development agents. Challenging the assumption that acculturation into a ruling ideology of state development is necessary, this book presents a version of CLD that locates development in the production of subjectivities. The author argues that A-CLD is as concerned with the autonomous collective and the individual as it is with establishing community infrastructure. As a result, a radical new theory is proposed to explain aesthetics within arts movements, beginning not by normalizing music cultures within global capitalism, but by identifying the creation of experimental assemblages as locations of cultural resistance. This book offers a new vocabulary of cultural production to provide a critical language for a theory of anti-capitalist subjectivity and for a new type of cultural worker involved with A-CLD. Drawing from a four-year study of thirteen music festivals, Playing for Change forwards A-CLD as a locally situated, joyful, and creative resistance to the globalizing forces of neoliberalism. 192 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This detailed survey of present-day scientific communication theory rejects the outmoded 'levels' organizational scheme in favor of a system based on the underlying model and fundamental explanatory principle each theory presupposes. In doing so it shows the fundamental similarities among all communication-relevant contexts. Most theories included in the book are causal in nature, derived from one of three underlying models: message production, message reception, or interactive. A few theories take on a functional form, sometimes in dialectic or systemic versions. An introductory chapter describes what is meant by scientific explanation, how that concept is instantiated in scientific communication theory, and delineates the three causal models prevalent in these theories. A useful resource for scholars, this book is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in communication theory. 382 pp. Englisch.

But the arrival of new content and social media platforms over recent years has challenged their power and authority, with fast-changing technologies accelerating the speed of news delivery and reshaping audience behaviour. Following on from The Rise of 24-Hour News Television: Global Perspectives (Cushion and Lewis, 2010), this volume explores new challenges and pressures facing television news channels, and considers the future of 24-hour news. Featuring a wide range of industry and academic perspectives, including the heads of some of the major international news channels (BBC Global News, Al Jazeera and Sky News, among others) as well as leading academics from around the world, contributors reflect on how well rolling television news is reinventing itself for digital platforms and the rapidly changing expectations of audiences. Overall, the 24 chapters in this volume deliver fresh insights into how 24-hour news channels have redefined rolling news journalism - or potentially could do - in order to remain relevant and effective in supplying continuous news for 21st-century audiences. 358 pp. Englisch.

This book shouts out ways that we can and must respond to the sickening accumulation of racially inspired and systemically sanctioned deaths. Today, we remember the passing of young, Black Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In responding to this event, we are determined to dismantle the alexithymia (indifference to the suffering of others) that pervades our campuses. It is nothing less than a by-product of racism protected by the illusion of democracy. RIP Jim Crow contains three sections: (1) Antiracist Theory and Policy; (2) Antiracist Administration, Curriculum, and Pedagogy; and (3) Antiracist Cultural Interventions. Each of the 31 chapters contributes to the normalization of anti-racist policy within academic institutions, antiracist discourse within academic cultures, and institutional praxis that upholds speaking out against racist activity. The hope is that this book will also reduce racism in the broader world through academic relationships with community partners. 476 pp. Englisch.

In this essay the principal theoretical and practical dimensions of this phenomenon at the levels of institution, procedure and social legitimacy are set out and developed. With this in mind, the dysfunctions in the architecture of the institutions, the elite, complex and opaque mechanisms in decision-making and, most importantly, the growing critical estrangement of many citizens reveals that poor democratic quality of the EU constitutes its principal and most serious political problem. To empirically illustrate this debate, Rodríguez-Aguilera evaluates the positions and proposals of the parties in the six most populous countries that have addressed this issue through a comparative analysis of their political programmes. 166 pp. Englisch.

By the late 1970s, it had become a real international actor: member states had started to coordinate their foreign policies, the EC had joined the United Nations and the G7, and it had established direct relations with almost all of the world's countries. What happened in those years This book provides the first comprehensive historical account of the early phase of the EC member states' cooperation in international affairs. Community activities, the European Political Cooperation and the European Council are all considered, relying on a wide range of archival sources. Why did the EC member states decide to cooperate in international affairs How did they do it, and in which domains What idea of Europe as an actor on the global stage did they put forward As the author shows, the EC stressed its own profile as a «force for good» in international affairs - especially with regard to development cooperation, the reform of the international system, and human rights promotion. In the early phase of the EC's international activity one can find the origins of many traits - and flaws - of the EU's foreign policy nowadays. 250 pp. Englisch.

Il est également au coeur d'enjeux politiques. Cet ouvrage, composé d'une quinzaine de textes, propose de porter le regard sur les situations d'accompagnements des demandeurs d'emploi. Un tournant néo-libéral a clairement été pris. La volonté de maîtriser les dépenses publiques s'est partout accompagnée d'un discours idéologique de justification reposant sur des fondements « scientifiques ». L'économie d'inspiration néo-classique produit une action publique pensée en termes d'activation, d'incitation et d'information. Analyser les dispositifs publics au concret permet d'abord de souligner, grâce à la comparaison internationale (Belgique, Suisse, Royaume-Uni, Québec, France, Tokyo, Brésil), la spécificité des politiques publiques nationales et, de fait, la singularité des dispositifs mis en place. L'ouvrage montre également le rôle prédominant des professionnels de l'accompagnement. Parce qu'ils mettent en oeuvre des dispositifs individualisés, ils procèdent à une « activité de jugement » fondée sur des normes institutionnelles, sur une éthique professionnelle et sur des contraintes organisationnelles. 280 pp. Französisch.

Januar 2010 gibt es für die Liquidation von gesetzlichen Krankenkassen erstmals zwei Regelungsregime: das Schließungsverfahren des SGB V sowie ein im Zuge dieser Reform wesentlich modifiziertes Insolvenzverfahren. Obwohl im Jahr 2011 erstmals zwei Kassen geschlossen werden mussten, gab es bislang kein solches Insolvenzverfahren. Der Autor untersucht, ob es durch die Gesetzesänderung gelungen ist, ein passgenaues Abwicklungsrecht für gesetzliche Krankenkassen zu regeln, das wirtschaftliche Grundsätze mit sozialrechtlichen Prinzipien vereint. Er kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass derzeit kein praktischer Anwendungsbereich für ein Insolvenzverfahren besteht, obwohl sich hieraus Verfahrensvorteile ergeben können und plädiert für eine weitere Gesetzesreform. 196 pp. Deutsch.

En rigor, el diario es el espacio narrativo donde se forjan la ficción, el estilo y el 'yo', el molde en que el escritor pone a prueba su propia escritura en tanto que la somete a incontables modificaciones y relecturas que arrojan luz no solo sobre la construcción de su poética, sino también sobre la de su figura de autor y sobre los modos de circulación y recepción del diario en la actualidad.Asimismo se impone en los estudios hispanistas la idea de que la literatura latinoamericana no ha producido grandes diaristas. Este libro intenta demostrar lo contrario: la gran importancia de un género tan heterogéneo en todas las sensibilidades estéticas del continente durante todo el siglo XX, como prueban Macedonio Fernández, Horacio Quiroga, Gabriela Mistral, Alfonso Reyes, Carpentier, Lezama, Arguedas, Octavio Paz, Bioy Casares, Idea Vilariño, Pizarnik, Ribeyro, Levrero o el mismo Che Guevara, entre otros. 280 pp. Spanisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book explores the way in which apophatic discourse of negative theology has illuminated contemporary critical theory. It demonstrates the significance of apophasis both in Jacques Derrida's search for a 'new language', responsive to singularity and alterity, and in the analyses of the experience of transgression, developed by Maurice Blanchot, George Bataille and Michel Foucault. Following Derrida's understanding of negative theology as a transgressive concept that transcends the linguistic, historical and religious contexts from which it arises, the book proves that apophasis is not merely a discourse on language restricted to one theological tradition, but should be viewed as a mode of dialogue and openness, essential to all responsible thinking. 198 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Beiträge des Bandes stellen ausgewählte gegenwartsliterarische Texte in den Horizont literaturdidaktischer Überlegungen und arbeiten deren Potenzial heraus: Es gehört zu den Charakteristika neuester Literatur, dass sie in vielfältiger Weise auf literarische Vorbilder, formal-ästhetische Muster und das Archiv des kulturellen Gedächtnisses Bezug nimmt. Dabei bezieht sie ein Spektrum medialer Möglichkeiten ein. In der Literatur der Gegenwart zeigen sich neue Formen des Poetischen, die sich in bemerkenswerter Weise auf Vorgängiges beziehen und erst vor der Folie des Alten verständlich werden. Differenzerfahrungen können geradezu eine kanonische Basis verlangen. In didaktischer Perspektive sind solche Texte daher herausfordernd, zugleich aber äußerst ergiebig für das literarische Lernen. 266 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main purpose of this volume is to look into a wide spectrum of artistic ventures which cross boundaries and challenge habitual thinking, consequently involving an element of provocation. While it is true that not all great art is provocative, the most memorable artefacts are these which have confounded our aesthetic expectations or stirred our moral imagination. However, as the turn of the millennium witnessed ever more shocking artistic gestures of provocation, the question arises if there are any limits to artistic freedom. The essays collected in this book offer a truly interdisciplinary perspective and deal with creative acts of transgression from a broad range of fields: literature, theatre, visual art, film, anthropology, and others. This volume will appeal to readers interested in artistic and academic pursuits that are subversive and irreverent. 186 pp. Englisch.
