This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In diesem Teil des Systems der Philosophie gilt es die Beziehung der prinzipiellen Struktur der Subjektivität zu dem «Ich» als der ganze, lebendige Mensch zu bestimmen. Diese konkrete individuelle Verwirklichung des Menschen kommt in seiner Freiheit, die sein Wesen als Individuum bestimmt und als solches konstituiert, zum ausgezeichneten Ausdruck. Zum Menschen kann man nur durch die Bestimmung des besonderen Verhältnisses des Menschen zum Wirklichkeitsganzen kommen. In diesem Verhältnis und in der damit verbundenen «zweite Schöpfung» des Menschen ist die letzte Antwort auf die Fragen zu suchen und zu finden, was unter Mensch-Sein im Allgemeinen und «Wer bin ich » im Besondern zu verstehen ist. 116 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Old New Media examines how the introduction of a new medium threatens those accustomed to the old media environment. Taking a media ecology perspective to examine the historical transitions from oral to literate, print, electronic and virtual media environments, the book includes theoretical chapters and case studies in five areas: media ecology; critical media theory; freedom of expression; Eastern thought; and the body and the media environment. The book argues against the «newness« of each new medium, which is often associated with unprecedented technological change, stating that the patterns of change identified with the most recent smartphone or computer are related to the patterns of change in human perception and social affairs that accompany the electronic media environment. It cautions against condemning the new medium with technological horror as the cause of all of our problems or celebrating it as the technological sublime that will cure all our social ills. If we are aware that media are extensions of the human, we can overcome the alienation and shock they cause, and be sensitive to the fluid boundaries between the human and the technological. The book ends by discussing how new media environments disrupt the balance in our lives and suggests strategies to help restore that balance. 346 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book traces the experiences of one cohort of Teach For America (TFA) corps members as they reconcile their hopes for their students with the reality of teaching in a district that favors compliance over compassion. Drawing on ethnographic and practitioner inquiry methods, Crawford-Garrett highlights the voices of the teachers as they wrestle with urban poverty, question bureaucratic mandates, resist dehumanizing reform initiatives, and experiment with critical pedagogy. The book examines how their socialization into the profession positions them as passive recipients of knowledge and engenders deficit ideologies of students, families, and communities. Ultimately, this book attends to the role of the teacher educator in introducing multiple educational lenses to the corps members and asserts that the university methods course can encourage new teachers to (1) critically engage with the institutional settings which shape their experiences, (2) question and problematize deficit ideologies, and (3) adopt and enact identities as knowledgeable practitioners. 148 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited collection aims to examine religion across: historical media forms using a broad concept of «media» contemporary media with a focus on digital forms religious traditions disciplinary approaches The focus here is on processes of mediation rather than «media» as such. Religion is seen as intertwined in forms of mediation that possibly transform religious practices. Analytical insights from the field of media studies are brought to bear on religion in ancient media, such as ritual or early manuscript culture. Insights from such analyses provide a strengthened awareness of continuities and discontinuities between the (post-) modern and earlier societies to the study of current media and religion. This book attempts to address issues of religion and media precisely through establishing a cross-disciplinary scholarly dialogue on the subject of «religion across media». 242 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Recent instances of global crisis reporting on climate change and the financial crisis are early embryos of a new form of journalism that is increasingly needed in global times: global journalism. Instead of associating global journalism with national comparisons of media systems or defining it as an ethically «corrective» form of journalism, Peter Berglez sets out to develop the idea of global journalism as an epistemological updating of everyday mainstream news media. He theoretically understands and explains global journalism as a concrete practice, which can be applied in research, training, and reporting. He argues that the future of professional news journalism is about leaving behind the dominant national outlook for the sake of a more integrated (global) outlook on society. Emerging examples of global journalism are analyzed throughout the book alongside the historical background and the challenges it faces. 178 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Convergence, participatory culture, multimedia technologies, and social media platforms are creating new communicative opportunities that fundamentally influence citizenship and journalism. Social media present a staggering breadth of legal and ethical matters to consider. The limits and laws of free expression in this new media landscape are beginning to emerge both domestically and internationally, causing us to ask the following questions: How do we conceive of privacy Should the law protect citizen journalists How do social media affect ethical obligations of journalists and public relations professionals These are just a few of the issues raised by the new social media landscape. Myriad standards of professional ethics command compliance in order for various media industries to function. Scholarly researchers of social media have not yet focused on the rights of expression and ethical obligations of the new media environment. This volume will address the scope and nature of this developing environment of expression with chapter topics ranging from privacy, cyber-bullying, and harassment to defamation, intellectual property rights, and online safety. 243 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Using the Herman & Chomsky «Propaganda Model» that was introduced in 1988, Goss offers a rigorous and accessible portrait of contemporary news media. Following a current survey of media ownership and news worker routines, in a series of case studies, he shows how recent news discourse has developed an Us/Them narrative. Cases include The New York Times' accounts of the Bush administration and United Nations in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq; and analysis of the 2011 riots in the United Kingdom in a comparison between two British broadsheets (The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph). Further case studies demonstrate important, if partial, new media discontinuities with respect to «old» news media. The book's international reach and sustained attention to new media indicate that it is not simply high-fidelity repetition of Herman & Chomsky, but re-engineers the model's architecture for the twenty-first century. 242 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The increasing concentration of influence and affluence among the few provides the stimulus for this book, which maps how uncertainty is dispersed via the cumulative strategies of the conservative right in the United States. Since the 1970s, the conservative right has exerted exceptional force to shape public response and governmental policy in a manner favorable to neoliberal logic and practice. The right's strategies, termed structuring mechanisms, reliably reconfigure practical knowledge and a skein of human interactions and material conditions across discourses and institutions. This book illustrates these mechanisms through four cases: PC discourse; a cultural politic of economic resentment; and the two parallel struggles over the authority to define reality pivoting around academic freedom and global warming. Together, these mechanisms collude to reshape the boundaries of public life in the form of private interests. Marlia Banning proposes a critical methodology that the book employs, a rhetoric of the everyday, to help citizens and critics map conservative and neoliberal efforts to reshape the contours of public life, and to reinvigorate the concept and reality of the public good. An everyday rhetoric aims to trace the amorphous and shifting processes through which hegemony is accomplished and to imagine new ways of engaging public life. 216 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Urban public space continues to be the focus of debate regarding its conceptualization and how it is designed, (re)produced and managed. Nowadays public spaces are facing new challenges conceptually and practically. This book focuses on two of them: mobility and aestheticization. Mobility and flows are considered to be key characteristics of the post-modern era. While for some scholars it means the «end of place», others are trying to re-conceptualize it by bringing together notions of space, place, mobility and identity. Still surprisingly few authors address the concept of public space in this respect. Principles of aesthetic and diverse forms of aestheticization seem to have affected urban space and culture throughout Modernity, forming a dimension where power and conflict around urban space are performed. In this book nine authors with social science and arts backgrounds from six countries discuss how these processes shape the life of modern cities, and where the social sciences should move for a better understanding of them. 148 pp. Englisch.

Diese Arbeit bietet einen Überblick über das Stipendienwesen an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, wie es sich zwischen 1665 und 1923 entwickelte. Im Fokus dieser Studie stehen die gesellschaftsgestaltende Wirkung der Stipendien und der Umgang der Universität mit den ihr anvertrauten Stiftungen. Damit untersucht sie nicht nur die Stiftungskonzeptionen der einzelnen Stifter auf deren Motive und Funktionen, sondern widmet sich zugleich der Frage, wie die Universität diese Ressource möglichst effektiv für sich zu nutzen suchte. Mit diesem bislang nur wenig beachteten Forschungsgegenstand fügt sich ein weiterer Stein in das Mosaik der Kieler Universitätsgeschichte ein. 150 pp. Deutsch.

Réactivée pendant la Révolution tranquille dans les années 1960, elle n'a pas trouvé la réponse attendue. Depuis le rapatriement de la Constitution canadienne initié en 1981 et mis en oeuvre en 1982 par Pierre Elliott Trudeau, l'imbroglio constitutionnel est dans l'impasse. L'esprit de réconciliation ou de compromis s'évanouit suite à l'échec de l'Accord du lac Meech (1990) et de l'Accord de Charlottetown (1992). Depuis deux décennies le dialogue de sourds entre le Québec et le Canada semble s'être fossilisé. Est-il encore envisageable de trouver une solution acceptable pour dépasser la dualité fondatrice du Canada L'objectif de ce livre est d'explorer les termes du débat social, politique et constitutionnel autour de la ' question du Québec ' telle que celle-ci a été posée par les acteurs sociaux et politiques tant au Québec que dans le reste du Canada. Ce livre met en lumière la complexité de la crise constitutionnelle canadienne. 150 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book won the 2014 Applied Communication Division Award for Outstanding Edited Book There is a growing interest in studying nonprofit organizations and volunteers as an alternative to studying employees in for-profit businesses and government agencies. This is driven in part by the recognition that volunteers make important contributions to society and the economy. This book is the first edited volume written primarily by communication scholars to focus on volunteers. It explores the experience of being a volunteer and managing volunteers through a focus on empirical examination of communication in volunteering. The contributors explore volunteers broadly and are divided into five sections which cover becoming a volunteer; learning about self as a volunteer; dark sides of volunteering; organizationally supported volunteering; and voice and dissent. The final chapter suggests areas of future research and application of the book. An important focus of the book is its data-based, empirical studies. Although each chapter includes applications, those recommendations are based on systematic studies of volunteers rather than primarily on anecdotal evidence or previous literature. Furthermore, each chapter includes a brief field experience narrative written by a volunteer, as well as addressing a broader conceptual or theoretical issue of organizational studies. In this way the book provides more than just case studies of volunteers, but also addresses general organizational issues. 450 pp. Englisch.

Il propose, au travers des diverses contributions, de mettre ces conflits en exergue, de voir leurs manifestations sur le plan du discours, de l'interaction et de la communication. Il s'interroge sur les outils et pratiques possibles d'interprétation tout en offrant de nouvelles voies de réflexion. L'idée fondatrice qui anime cet ouvrage est le rapport existant entre l'expérience humaine, le sens que l'on construit à partir de cette expérience, et la représentation que l'on établit d'elle. C'est dans cette optique que sens et représentation, dans leurs diverses acceptions, se situent au centre de tout rapport entre l'être humain en tant que sujet interagissant et son environnement, y compris son rapport avec Autrui. 233 pp. Französisch.

This book addresses four related corporate finance questions. The first chapter reviews theoretical considerations and empirical evidence on so-called funding gaps. Chapters two and three analyze the genuine structures of equity and convertible debt offerings in the industry. The final part investigates to what extent business combinations are perceived as a valuable means to company growth. The analysis contains a variety of empirical findings that are novel to existing emerging industry and corporate finance research. It shows that many investors perceive the level of asymmetric information and regulatory risk, as well as the industry's structure, to be detrimental to renewable energy finance. 144 pp. Englisch.

It examines what viewers of television news think about foreign news, their interest in it, and what sense they make of it. The book also assesses what the gatekeepers of foreign news - journalists, producers, and editors - think about what they produce, and about their viewers. This book shows that while globalization is a dominant force in society, and though news can be instantaneously broadcast internationally, there is relatively little commonality throughout the world in the depiction of events occurring in other countries. Thus, contrary to McLuhan's famous but untested notion of the «global village», television news in the countries discussed in this book actually presents more variability than similarity. The research gathered here is based on a quantitative content analysis of over 17,000 news items and analysis of over 10,000 survey respondents. Seventeen countries are included in this research, offering a rich comparative perspective on the topic. 391 pp. Englisch.

The argument is, therefore, self-explanatory throughout. The first half explains the historic and worldwide phenomenon of religion in its major manifestations. It also discusses problems with religion. The second part focusses on Christianity, showing how it can be professed with intellectual integrity and to personal and social benefit. Whilst the author is critical of some forms of contemporary Christianity, he draws throughout on the Bible and Christian tradition in its reconstruction. Care is given in defining modernity and explaining how Christianity engages with some of life's central concerns and responsibilities. In this the book shows how the Christian understanding of how to live responsibly and to the full remains as vibrant and relevant as it has ever been. 207 pp. Englisch.

Die genauere Analyse der Zusammenhänge zeigt jedoch, dass die Bemühungen zur Stabilisierung der Lebensbedingungen das Risiko von katastrophalen Veränderungen erhöhen. Ursachen dafür finden sich in den Eigenschaften der Ökosysteme und der menschlichen Gesellschaft selbst. Eigenschaften, die in den vorherrschenden wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Paradigmen nur wenig Beachtung finden. Viele Maßnahmen unter dem Titel des Klimaschutzes sind deshalb bestenfalls wirkungslos oder dienen der Befriedigung von Lobbyinteressen. Manche Maßnahmen verschärfen zusätzlich die Problematik, wie beispielsweise die Forcierung der allgemeinen Verwendung des sogenannten 'Biosprits'. Sinnvolle Schritte zur Bewältigung der kommenden Herausforderungen erfordern hingegen weitreichende Systemänderungen. 292 pp. Deutsch.

Regroupant sur un territoire donné un ensemble d'enjeux politiques, structurels et techniques, elles font appel à une diversité de disciplines dans un bouillonnement d'interactions pour répondre à un défi majeur et complexe : créer des villes de toutes pièces et des lieux de vie.Puisque ces enjeux sont toujours d'actualité des deux côtés de la Méditerranée, se pencher sur les échanges entre autorités locales et experts permet d'enrichir les réflexions et les pratiques dans ce domaine. C'est dans ce sens que cet ouvrage collectif met en évidence les résultats du projet New Medina, projet reposant sur la coopération entre villes et associations européennes et méditerranéennes. 202 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Public administration has traditionally been characterised with such bureaucratic features as hierarchical and formalised organisational structure, clear and rigid career paths, lifetime tenure, full-time employment, principle of seniority, advantageous pension schemes and rigid remuneration systems. These features were introduced in late 19th century to reduce the risk of excessive political influence, corruption, misconduct and instability of government. Today, however, numerous administrative and managerial reforms are affecting these longstanding aspects of public employment. Size and composition of workforce, its working and employment conditions, nature of work, and values and legal status are all undergoing a process of change. The various reforms are also gradually shrinking the size of central public administrations of the EU-27 Member States. They are becoming more decentralised and fragmented, more diversified, more aligned and less specific. The on-going financial crisis and the introduction of hasty austerity measures have a strong impact on the public workforce in most EU Member States. So far, restructuring programmes and effects of austerity measures have not been a subject of rigorous scrutiny. Similarly, the effects of public management reforms have not been studied either and have resulted in national administrations having no longer a single coherent framework. Filling this important gap, this comparative study attempts to assess the effects of these developments in public employment in the central public administrations of the EU Member States offering insight into the future of public employment. 154 pp. Englisch.

Infolge der nachkonziliaren Kodexreform kam es für die Kathedralkapitel jedoch zum Verlust von Titel und Stellung des senatus episcopi an den neu eingerichteten Priesterrat und zu weiteren Veränderungen im Kanonikerrecht. Die Domkapitel waren nun dazu aufgerufen, ihre Statuten als zentrales Regelungsinstrument der inneren Organisation zu überarbeiten und den neuen universalrechtlichen Vorgaben anzupassen. Die erneuerten Statuten der sieben bestehenden Domkapitel in Österreich und des Domkapitels von Brixen stehen im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit. Um unmittelbare Vergleiche zu ermöglichen, werden die entsprechenden Regelungen zusammenschauend dargestellt. Neben der kirchenrechtlichen Bewertung geht es darum, Desiderate für künftige Entwicklungen zu formulieren. 260 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle der Freizeitorganisation 'Kraft durch Freude' (KdF) als Propaganda- und Herrschaftsinstrument für das NS-Regime zwischen 1933 und 1939. Die Organisation KdF war ein halbstaatlicher, der 'Deutschen Arbeitsfront' (DAF) angeschlossener Verband, mit dem der NS-Staat versuchte, ein 'Geselligkeitsmonopol' und eine umfassende Verfügung und Kontrolle auf die arbeitsfreie Zeit der deutschen Bevölkerung durchzusetzen. Die KdF bildete ein Kernstück der NS-Sozialpropaganda, indem sie die Illusion des kollektiven sozialen Aufstiegs der deutschen Bevölkerung und der Einebnung von Klassenunterschieden verkörperte und verbreitete. Die Freizeitorganisation diente damit unmittelbar als Herrschaftsinstrument des NS-Staats. 202 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book considers first-person writing and the related questions of the formation of the self, the rise of the individual and the private/public debate, and places these considerations within a multicultural perspective. It compares the characteristics of European or Occidental personal writings (such as diaries, memoirs and autobiographies) with the written forms of personal, intimate and autobiographical self which have existed and continue to exist within various Asian, African or Near Eastern cultures. The book constitutes a call for a global history of personal writing.Ce livre s'intéresse, dans une perspective multiculturelle, à l'écriture de soi, et aux questions connexes de la formation même du soi, de l'émergence de l'individu ou encore du débat sur l'apparition des sphères privées et publiques. Il compare les caractéristiques de l'écrit personnel tel qu'il a eu cours en Europe ou dans les pays occidentaux (comme les journaux intimes, les mémoires, les autobiographies, entre autres) avec les formes écrites du soi personnel, intime ou autobiographique telles qu'elles ont pu exister, et existent, dans différentes cultures asiatiques, africaines ou proches-orientales. Ce livre lance également un appel pour une histoire globale des écrits personnels. 294 pp. Französisch, Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The contributions in this volume shed light on lived multilingualism around the globe. A small, but still representative selection of the multitude of migrant experiences, all studies share the intertwining of geographical mobility and non-mainstream linguistic practices which serves as a resource of agency and promotes alternative multiple identities of the immigrant speakers. This volume is based on the two core tenets of sociolinguistic identity research. First, it accepts the idea that identities or sub-identities are in a sense pre-given and can be formulated through membership categories. Second, identities are viewed as being enacted and performed, thus constituting social realities. In the social construction of identity, national and linguistic boundaries dissolve. The originating countries of the participants (and/or their ancestors) in the studies of this volume include Argentina, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia, Russia, Morocco, the Phillipines, Korea, Kazakhstan, Suriname and India. The countries of immigration include Germany, the USA, Israel, France and the Netherlands. 179 pp. Englisch.
