The second contribution focuses on Raphael's Madonna dell'Impannata , of which a new version has recently surfaced, and which is here presented as a workshop replica. Stress is laid on the technical analysis, which allows to identify the picture as a painting coming from the workshop of Raphael. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Generally speaking, the philosophy of music hitherto can be said to approach music, as it were, from above or from outside. Music, thus envisaged, can be 'absolute' or 'sounding forms in motion'. It can be expression, have a linguistic meaning, tell a story, be a manifestation of 'the world as will and conceptualization', and mirror society's inward contradictions. Music is seen as an activity, sometimes as interactivity, not least through an anthropological approach in which prominence is given to its origins. This work is an attempt to reverse the argument, by taking the phenomenon of tone as the starting point to work the way up to an understanding of the phenomenon of music, to make a philosophy of tone the foundation of a philosophy of music. Such thoughts were already present in the author's previous works, but, being available only in Swedish, will be enlarged here. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Spätestens seit dem so genannten Krieg gegen den Terror verzeichnen Fragen nach der Funktionsweise von Hass im Alltag wie in der Wissenschaft eine, wenn auch zweifelhafte, Konjunktur. Die moderne Soziologie scheint hierzu jedoch schweigen zu müssen, da sie über kein elaboriertes Hasskonzept verfügt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist daher die Entwicklung erster Grundlagen für einen soziologischen Zugriff auf die Emotion Hass. Dazu werden verschiedene Hasskonzepte aus den geisteswissenschaftlichen Nachbardisziplinen aufeinander bezogen und ihre Gemeinsamkeiten herausgearbeitet. Ferner wird unter Rückgriff auf Thesen Charles Horton Cooleys und den Social Identity Approach eine Verknüpfung zwischen dem Hass und dem Selbst sowie eine Triangulation des Hasses, des Selbst und der Gruppe versucht. Kernthese der Arbeit ist ein Verständnis von Hass als besondere Form der Verteidigung gegen existentielle Bedrohungen des Selbst. Diese Arbeit wurde mit dem Studienpreis der Halleschen Soziologie ausgezeichnet. 138 pp.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In den frühen Morgenstunden des 15. Septembers 2008 meldet die Investmentbank Lehman Brothers nach fast 200 Jahren an der Börse ihren Konkurs. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt berichten die Medien ununterbrochen über die US-Immobilienkrise, von ihren Auswirkungen auf die weltweiten Finanzmärkte und der damit einhergehenden Krise in fast allen Bereichen der Weltwirtschaft. Ethische Dimensionen wirtschaftlichen Handelns geraten ins Fadenkreuz der Diskussionen. In den Kontroversen über den wirtschaftlichen Abschwung erlangt die Thematisierung des positiv besetzten Verantwortungsbegriffs einen sprachlichen Aufschwung. Die Studie nimmt dies zum Anlass, das Sprechen über moralische Geltungsansprüche und Handlungsweisen in der Wirtschaft im Zeitraum von 2008 bis 2010 in einer linguistischen Mediendiskursanalyse zu untersuchen. Vor dem Hintergrund sprachlicher Perspektivierung wird ein Ringen um wirtschaftliche Handlungskonstellationen, in denen Verantwortung zum Tragen kommt, deutlich. Ein sprachliches Bedingungsverhältnis zwischen materieller und immaterieller Wertschöpfung ist für den Diskurs um Verantwortung in der Wirtschaft bezeichnend. 108 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Untersuchung zeigt die Einwirkungen der Philosophie Kants auf Goethes zweite Lebenshälfte. Kant macht dem Dichter erstmals die Relation Subjekt-Objekt zum Problem und zeigt ihm die Grenzen der Verstandeserkenntnis gegenüber der Natur und ihrem Schöpfer. Seine Morphologie sah Goethe «als ganz im Sinne Kants» an. Umfassender als je zuvor weist der Autor den großen Einfluß des «Alten vom Königsberge» dann auf Goethes ethisches Gedankengut nach. Mit vielfach belegten und begründeten Deutungen knüpft er kritisch an eine Forschung an, die fast ein Jahrhundert lang ruhte. Dabei entpuppen sich Gegensätze zwischen Goethe und Kant als Legende der Lebensphilosophie. 196 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Empty treasure chests dumped from departed ships is a quotation taken from David Dabydeen's poem The Old Map in which the hope of a new world is green but green symbolizes also the gangrene of the sailors. Such rather unsavory paradoxes can be found in the works of contemporary (post)postcolonial writers, who engage in a dialogue with literary history while actively re-shaping contemporary culture. Far from seeking easy reconciliations, the contemporary (post)postcolonial writers rewrite the colonial experiences in relation to art and literary works. The theme of this volume are the works by and about David Dabydeen, a Guianese British writer, poet and literary scholar, whose efforts have always been directed toward re-creating the lives forever lost; those of nameless slaves and coolies of the West Indies. His inspiration, in turn were, among others, the paintings of William Hogarth and Joseph Mallord William Turner. Accordingly, the papers collected in this book address the question of (post)colonialism in a contemporary (post)postcolonial reality. 114 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book investigates African American writer and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston's cultural space. More specifically, different aspects of the interplay of space and place are studied in two of her novels: Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and Jonah's Gourd Vine (1934). Besides representing the peak of her art as a novelist, the novels present fine examples of her philosophy of culture, her conceptions of space, and ways of place construction. The richness and vitality of her novels denote a particular view of culture and an African American way of authentication that enable her to construct a fulfilling cultural universe for the individual, with/despite inbuilt tensions. The cultural space Hurston establishes is embedded in an African American cultural context associated with the South. At the same time her cultural space proves to be diverse, due to inward heterogeneity and external contexts. 136 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pervasive Vulnerabilities explores the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of adolescent girls and boys and female teachers in order to expose the continuing persistence of sexual harassment in the United States. The book addresses the sexual double standard that continues to hold girls and women accountable for male sexual aggression, and demonstrates that this double standard still dismisses males who harass young women with a cavalier «boys will be boys» attitude, while castigating young women if they express an interest in sexual expression. It discusses issues of sexual harassment through four domains: its impact on women's lives, sometimes long after high school; the perceptions of teachers who interact with adolescents; the experiences of young girls in middle and high school; and the behaviors and attitudes of young men in middle and high school. This book is critical reading for all pre-service and in-service teachers and is indispensable in classrooms devoted to the topic. 200 pp. Englisch.

Initially, the group was informal, a «family» that wanted to «hang out and have fun.» Before joining, each player had been recognized as expert in the game; within the group they had to adapt their expertise for the new joint task and align themselves to new group goals. Through their shared activity, members successfully established communication and material practices that changed as they had to renegotiate roles and responsibilities with new situations and as the larger gaming community evolved. Players learned to reconfigure their play spaces, enrolling third-party game mods and other resources into their activity. Once-expert players became novices or «noobs» to relearn expert or «leet» gameplay. They became «leet noobs» who needed to reconfigure their expertise for new norms of material practice. Ultimately, these norms also changed what it meant to play World of Warcraft; some group members no longer wanted to just hang out and have fun, and eventually the group died in an online fiery meltdown. 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -According to polls, today's «Millennial» college students are the most politically progressive generation in U.S. history. They are deeply concerned about social and economic inequality, they support egalitarian relationships among nations and peoples, and they believe that the government should do whatever it takes to protect the environment. They have a strong desire to «change the world» for the better, and are volunteering in record numbers to do so. Yet Millennials have been educated to be rule-followers, good test-takers, and high academic achievers who feel uncomfortable expressing opinions that go against the norm. Their ease with social media has made their relationships superficial and fleeting. They do not take to the streets, and rarely imagine any radical re-thinking of economic or political systems. Treated as special and entitled by doting parents and teachers, Millennial college students have energy, skills, and heart, but lack historical context, opportunities for critical thinking about complex social problems, and intimate connection to the people they so passionately want to serve. Their Highest Vocation: Social Justice and the Millennial Generation features the voices of Millennial college student leaders, progressive instructors, academic advisors, and program heads who tell us what today's college students need and how the university might adapt to meet their challenge. 224 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the world's most influential and prolific media scholars, George Gerbner played a major role in the development of communication theory and research. His critical approach to mass communication changed the way we think about media industries, the messages and images they produce, and their social and cultural impacts. Gerbner is most widely known for his decades of work on television violence, but his research and writing focused on many other vital aspects of the symbolic cultural environment. This book provides a broad-based introduction to Gerbner's theories of mass communication, his long-term research on media content and effects, and the critical and policy contributions of his work. Although hundreds of studies have been conducted based on Gerbner's ideas, this is the first volume to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of his many contributions to the field. 184 pp. Englisch.

The author argues that in addition to Stuart Selber's three multiliteracies, teachers of writing must include ethical literacy when teaching students to compose using digital tools. This book explores the need for this ethical literacy - drawing on interviews with writing program administrators and instructors - and offers implications, heuristics, outcomes, and sample assignments for teaching digital media ethics in writing. 139 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The initial aim of the book was to describe Polish equivalents of the English articles. The functions of the articles were found in Polish to be expressed by word order and sentence stress (in neutral intonation). Word order and sentence stress were also analysed in English in view of the different nature of word order. Native speakers were asked to read given texts, which were recorded, and to comment on the intonation. The author concludes that the functions of the articles are part of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP) and that the general tendency is to put new information in final position. In Polish, this is achieved by word order and sentence stress, in English by stress and some syntactic means. Furthermore it is found that in both English and Polish, the noun determines the position of the sentence stress - it always falls on the new noun if such is present; in the absence of such a noun the stress is put on the next available word as far to the end of the sentence as possible. 144 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a follow-up to the author's previous Peter Lang book, The Rendez-Vous: Poems of Multicultural Experience (2003). The new book contains recent poetry and prose by Andrew Parkin, together with the prefaces to two new longer poems. The Gourds is based on a collection of small Chinese gourds etched to depict scenes from literature and legend. Star of a Hundred Years is a dramatic ode dedicated to the father of Hong Kong cinema, Sir Run Run Shaw, who is more than one hundred years old and whose lifetime coincides with the history of film. The ode is thus cast in the form of a film scenario; this creates a scenariode, a new sub-genre of verse. There are also lyrics and prose poems as well as fiction, all involving cross-cultural experience found in a variety of places in different countries. A sequence of «flashes» reveals the past as not only another country but also another culture, contrasting with our contemporary lives in certain ways. The mixture of genres and the way they contrast with one another reflect at times the post-modern moment in literature. And again, in the continuum and fragmented flashes of memory, it becomes evident that many of us now live as international and trans-cultural people. 208 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Inventory management and pricing decisions based on quantitative models both in industrial practice and academic works often rely on minimizing expected cost, which refers to the concept of risk-neutrality of the decision maker. Although many useful insights in operational problems can be obtained by such an approach, it is well understood that incorporating attitudes toward risk is an important lever for building new theories in other fields such as economics and finance. In this work spectral risk measures are applied to the price-setting newsvendor problem and optimal policies are derived. This allows to unify results obtained so far in the literature under the common concept of spectral risk measures for the case of zero and non-zero shortage penalty cost. 132 pp. Englisch.

They deal with the relationship between the structure and quality of the public sector and the process of economic integration. Two of the essays add to the empirical determinants of trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) and to the numerous applications of the theory of government decentralization. Decentralization tends to discourage inward FDI and domestic trade and to increase imports and exports. A third essay focuses on the effect of governments' intangible assets - such as consumer perceptions about countries and products from these countries - on FDI. A country's nation brand is shown to have a significant and large positive effect on investment flows. 146 pp. Englisch.

Les transports et les mobilités urbaines sont, en effet, très éclairants, car les acteurs y sont sollicités dans une double contribution d'attaches au quartier et de circulations dans l'aire urbaine.Deux agglomérations ont fait l'objet d'une attention particulière, Strasbourg et Montpellier, entre lesquelles un certain nombre de circulations d'acteurs et de références sont perceptibles. Si le tramway, dans ses aspects techniques, semble une figure obligée et acceptée de la grande ville, l'étude des négociations et/ou des transactions qui s'opèrent dans ce ' grand projet ' révèle une articulation variable entre les trois piliers du développement durable - économique, environnemental et social - ainsi que des résistances. Il n'y a pas de modèle unique de mobilité durable. 246 pp. Französisch.

In this book, the state-of-the-art in time-series classification is surveyed and five new techniques are presented. Four out of them aim at making the recognition more accurate, while the proposed instance-selection algorithm speeds up time-series classification. Besides time-series classification tasks, potential applications of the proposed techniques include problems from various domains, e.g. web science or medicine. 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has been inspired by the emphasis that Mark Davie's studies have put on the cooperative nature of artistic and intellectual pursuits in the humanities. Whilst the importance of connections between intellectuals is often acknowledged in the form of intertextual studies, research into real dialogue between individuals is little researched, partly due to the practical challenges of such research. The ten chapters of this book - written by specialists in different cultures - redress in part this imbalance and offer a new angle on the canon by tracing the impact of concrete partnerships and communities in Italian and European history. The issues that the volume's contributors keep in mind include: the reasons that artists and intellectuals choose to collaborate; the forms that this collaboration takes; the factors that determine its success; and whether some areas of culture lend themselves to intellectual collaboration better than others. 206 pp. Englisch.

Grande amie de Miles Franklin, elle se fit le chantre d'une littérature véritablement australienne par ses thèmes et par sa langue. Ce roman, situé à Newcastle en 1942 et peuplé de personnages truculents qui parlent la langue colorée des ouvriers ou des marins, est aussi une peinture acerbe des effets de la guerre sur la ville.À partir d'un tel texte, quelle était la meilleure façon de mener à bien le transfert de langue et de culture Comment pouvait-on traduire les spécificités de l'anglais australien et rendre en français les désignateurs de référents culturels Ce livre propose une analyse de plusieurs approches de traductologues, en particulier de ceux qui se sont intéressés à la problématique du transfert du culturel, pour tenter de trouver des solutions concrètes qui, loin d'être toujours entièrement satisfaisantes, ont l'avantage de montrer que le traducteur, confronté à l'obligation de choix, doit parfois savoir se distancier de la théorie pour rester au plus près du texte. 173 pp. Französisch.

Women writers, such as Fanny Lewald, Ida von Hahn-Hahn and E. Marlitt, who had begun to dominate Germany's book market, addressed domestic life and female gender roles through a variety of genres. At the same time, activists such as Helene Lange and Henriette Schrader-Breymann let their vision of female gender roles shape the kindergartens and girls' secondary schools they founded. This book discusses issues of female gender role formation and examines the ways in which women's writing and activism contributed to the process. As a result, a rich tapestry of female social discourse is uncovered, exhibiting women's strong commitment to shaping their destinies within a largely misogynistic political and legal national framework. 208 pp. Englisch.

First the study analyses particular VC financing mechanisms depending on differences in the national institutional framework and the experience of the VC investor. The question whether the actual value-adding ability of VC investments in contrast to CVC investments differs from a portfolio company's perspective is discussed in the second chapter. Finally, the time-dependent performance of CVC investments is analysed. 160 pp. Englisch.
