Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -AfrikanerInnen sind in Wien vor allem durch negative Schlagzeilen über DrogendealerInnen und AsylbewerberInnen in den Medien präsent. Änderungen im österreichischen Fremdenrecht machen den Zuzug von Drittstaatsangehörigen schwieriger. Die Bemühungen um einen Aufenthaltstitel, Vorurteile und ein erschwerter Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt sind Faktoren die AfrikanerInnen zu KlientInnen von SozialarbeiterInnen werden lassen. Wenn Ressourcen im Umfeld von KlientInnen gefunden werden, kann Hilfe effizienter geschehen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die afrikanische katholische Gemeinde (ACC) als Ressource für die Sozialarbeit aufzuzeigen. Der Hintergrund dieser Gemeinde ist die Theologie der Inkulturation. Welchen Einfluss hat diese Theologie auf den Umgang mit AfrikanerInnen in Wien Lassen sich daraus auch Konsequenzen für die Beratung und Begleitung durch SozialarbeiterInnen ziehen 120 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Jugendarrest, der am häufigsten verhängten Haft bei Jugendlichen und Heranwachsenden in Deutschland. Mit Blick auf den Arrest werden ausgewählte psychologische Ursachen der Jugendkriminalität, effiziente Behandlungsansätze und präventive Möglichkeiten des Jugendarrests dargestellt. Grundlage bilden zwei empirische Studien über die psychosozialen Merkmale der Arrestanten und die psychologischen Vollzugswirkungen. In zwei Gutachten für das Bundesjustizministerium wurden Vorschläge für eine Reform des Arrests erarbeitet. Die Kritik richtet sich gegen die bisherige Vollzugspraxis und die Vernachlässigung des Arrestsystems innerhalb der Justiz. Ein Hauptkritikpunkt betrifft die Tatsache, dass die am häufigsten verhängte Haft bei jungen Menschen weder innerhalb der Justiz noch in der Öffentlichkeit die ihr gebührende Aufmerksamkeit erfährt. 122 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mit dem Aufbau der sozialistischen Gesellschaft wollte die DDR einen neuen Menschentyp, sogenannte «sozialistische Persönlichkeiten» schaffen. Jugendliche, die dem Schema nicht entsprachen, wurden als «schwererziehbar» gebrandmarkt und in Jugendwerkhöfen umerzogen. Mit Hilfe unveröffentlichter Quellen, zeitgenössischer Publikationen und einem Zeitzeugengespräch untersucht die Autorin dieses kaum aufgearbeitete Thema am Beispiel der Jugendwerkhöfe Hummelshain und Wolfersdorf. Diese waren weder «offen» noch das propagierte «Tor zum neuen Leben». Ideologische Indoktrination, harte Arbeit und militärischer Drill prägten den Alltag der Minderjährigen. «Auf dem Weg zum neuen Menschen» machte das System auch vor Menschenrechtsverletzungen keinen Halt ¿ und scheiterte schließlich an sich selbst. 110 pp. Deutsch.

Lack of engagement, incongruous learning styles and teaching methods, and high failure/dropout rates are some of the symptoms.

This groundbreaking book provides the reader with a theoretical foundation for course redesign that employs assessment-driven experiential learning and tools and examples to bring all or part of the process to their campus. 152 pp. Englisch.

As a key traditional trait of Serbian Gypsies, storytelling, conveyed along kin generations, influences the behavior of all who listen. Since their appearance in the Balkans centuries ago, an insecure social environment has shaped their cultural traditions, including that of storytelling. Their traditional stories reaffirm the strong identity with their kinship group, yet, at the same time, plead loudly for recognition from outsiders. The success achieved by Gypsies in maintaining themselves and their culture can be attributed, in large measure, to the power of their traditional stories. 132 pp. Englisch.

Teaching Against Islamophobia creates a pedagogical space for educators to engage with necessary issues and knowledges regarding the alienation of Islamic culture, religion, knowledge, and peoples. Edited by a WASP, a Jew, and an Iranian, this book confronts the fears, challenges, and institutional problems facing today's teachers. Taking its cue from critical pedagogy, this book is a collection of essays by artists, writers, performers, and educators committed to naming the insidious racism and hatred of those who would isolate and vilify Islam. 336 pp. Englisch.

While American society has become more visual and digital, the general state of literacy in America is in crisis, with educators and public officials worried about falling educational standards, the rising influence of popular culture, and growing numbers of non-English-speaking immigrants. But how justified are these worries By focusing on «reading», this book takes a serious look at public literacy, but chooses not to blame the familiar scapegoats. Instead, The End of Reading proposes that in a diverse and rapidly changing society, we need to embrace multiple definitions of what it means to be a literate person. 168 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fracturing Opportunity demonstrates a simple yet profound idea - that educational opportunity is learned. And if it is learned, then it can be taught and taught more equitably. This book brings sociocultural theories of learning and development to bear on the persistent problems of inequality in college access, and presents an innovative framework for understanding and addressing the historic inequities that plague educational opportunity. Through ethnographic documentation of Mexican migrants' educational experiences, the book moves beyond traditional inquiry on aspiration, academic preparation, and college matriculation to explore the deeper, more fundamental sense-making processes that mediate how students among the most vulnerable cultural communities in the United States engage in college-going. This is an excellent text for educators and researchers interested in equal educational opportunity generally, Mexican migrant and Chicano education in particular, and scholars interested in applied critical sociocultural theory and critical ethnographic methods. 236 pp. Englisch.

The book offers empirical, scholarly, and personal space to interrogate the seemingly elusive but compelling challenges postsecondary institutions face in managing diversity. Book chapters are offered in a variety of voices - some detailing theoretical, conceptual, sociohistorical, and globalized meanings of diversity; some highlighting college personnel narratives around social justice and equity; and some illustrating identity politics and provocative topics among students, faculty, and staff that continue to present formidable challenges to collegiate equity agendas. The intent is to both question existing efforts to diversify and make inclusive collegiate contexts; to present new frameworks of thinking about diversity, equity, and inclusion; and to identify and detail policy and practice implications. 288 pp. Englisch.

Globally comparative, this edited volume assesses journalism education and the challenging environment in which it is delivered in countries with a partly free or not free status according to global press freedom. The countries covered include China, Singapore, Cambodia, Palestine, Oman, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, Russia, Romania, and Croatia. Contributors demonstrate through careful analysis that wealthy nations are able to set the terms of their journalism education while less affluent countries are more open to the influence of foreign NGOs. Although this book evidences the disconnection between what is taught and what can be practiced, it also illustrates the degree to which journalism education can be an agent of change. 266 pp. Englisch.

These activities unfold in media-dense social spaces. Social networking sites, the user-generated content of web 2.0, live music events, digital cameras and cell phones are all used in constructing valuable brands. This book addresses the integration of popular music culture, corporate branding, and young people's mediated cultural practices. These intersections provide a rich site for examining how young people build brands within spaces and practices that they perceive as meaningful. The book is based on extensive ethnographic empirical research, drawing on participant observation, textual analysis and interviews with young people, musicians, marketers and other participants in the cultural industries. Contemporary theories of marketing and branding are brought together with critical and cultural accounts of mediated social life. The book explores the distinctive concerns and debates of these different perspectives and the lively interface between them. 224 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For over four decades, Basil Bernstein researched 'the internal organisation and educational context of the school' specifically, and educational systems generally. In particular, he was interested in the powerful forms of knowledge transmitted through schooling systems; who gained access to these forms of knowledge; how they did so; and with what consequences. His research began by examining the differences between language and communication patterns in the institutions of the home/family and of the school, and extended to examining the structuring of pedagogic discourse from the level of the state to the classroom. This collection brings together chapters by researchers from South Africa, Portugal, the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia, to build on the theoretical concepts developed by Bernstein to explore issues of access and acquisition to school knowledge. In addition, contributors explore the strengths and limitations of Bernstein's work for understanding the structuring of educational institutions, as well as the potential of the theory for assisting educators to make a difference in the lives of students. 304 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited collection explores the roles of material culture in socializing young people through their play. Authors explore notions of play from diverse cultural viewpoints, as well as the impact of technology on play, and the kinds of resistant and liberatory play children might partake in. Informed by the field of performance studies, the book considers play as performance, asking questions about embodiment at physical, relational, and ideological levels, and considering «performance» to be part of identity construction, as well as a component of enculturation into various societies. Of interest are the ways in which children try on various identities through their play, and how these identities may (re)define their attitudes, values, and beliefs. As curriculum and instruction have become open to the use of games - and children's material culture more generally - as a forum for learning, intersections have emerged between schooling and culture at large. This book broadens the scope of «learning» to investigate how these cultural artifacts are open or closed to multiple perspectives and narratives, as well as how their use is constituted both in and out of the classroom. 328 pp. Englisch.

Die erste Gruppe (Aschner, Markstein, Zottl) wandte sich nach dem Verlassen der Partei «basisnahen», also wenig strukturierten oder hierarchischen Organisationen und politischen Gruppierungen des linken Spektrums zu. Für die zweite Gruppe (Fischer, Verber) war berufliches oder berufsnahes Interesse ausschlaggebend für die politische Tätigkeit nach der Partei. Sie wandten sich Organisationen zu, die vor allem interessenvertreterisch aktiv sind. 154 pp. Deutsch.

Dies stand einer aktiven Teilnahme aller Gemeindebewohner entgegen. Erst nach langjährigen und wechselvollen Diskussionen in den politischen Gremien wurden 1994 Elemente von unmittelbarer Demokratie in der Gemeindeordnung NRWs aufgenommen. Diese Untersuchung zeichnet die historische Entwicklung der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung zwischen 1945 und 2007 anhand von exemplarischen Fällen auf. Dazu wurde umfangreiches Quellenmaterial aus Stadtarchiven sowie amtliche Publikationen ausgewertet und mit Pressematerialien und Interviews ergänzt. Das Buch stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Geschichte NRWs dar und bietet einen interessanten Einblick in Entwicklung und Formen der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung. 204 pp. Deutsch.

The Marian Movement is presented within the cultural, historical, political, and religious context of the East African Revival Movement, the Anglican Balokole Movement, Alice Lakwena's Holy Spirit Movement, Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), and other religio-political liberation movements, including the Maji Maji, the Mau Mau, and Nyabingi Liberation Movement. The Marian Movement was locally known as «Abanyabugoto» and «The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God». It began in 1989 as a Catholic women's Marian devotional and moral reformation movement, founded and headed by Keledonia Mwerinde. Faced with African cultural patriarchy and male-dominated Catholic Church hierarchy, Mwerinde recruited Joseph Kibwetere and the Rev. Fr. Dominic Kataribabo to serve as the public face of the Marian Movement. In response to Catholic hierarchy's opposition and persecution, Fr. Kataribabo designed a theology of ritual sacrifice, atonement, and martyrdoms for the devout Marian Catholics, who were devotees of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He martyred the Marian devotees in March 2000, in order to transform them into Mary's saints, and to liberate their souls and send them to heaven, where they would instantly attain eternal life, lasting peace, and happiness. 264 pp. Englisch.

Für die Konfliktländer wurde deskriptiv-statistisch festgestellt, welche friedensbauenden Bildungsmaßnahmen in welchen Konstellationen und Kontexten realisiert werden. Die ermittelten Maßnahmenmuster wurden zu einem 'Werkzeugkasten' friedensbauender Bildungsmaßnahmen aufbereitet, der bei künftiger Projektplanung eingesetzt werden kann. Zwei Erhebungsinstrumente zur Evaluation der Wirksamkeit friedenspädagogischer Aktivitäten - ein Einstellungs- und ein Bedingungsfragebogen - wurden konstruiert. Die Instrumente sind auf ihre Brauchbarkeit und ihre Güte überprüft. 152 pp. Deutsch.

Located in a variety of disciplines, these poststructural, deconstructive, and even postcolonial critiques have challenged everything from notions of the universal child, to adult/child dualisms, to deterministic developmental theory. The purpose of this volume is to acknowledge the profound contributions of that large body of literature, while demonstrating the ways that critical analyses can be used to generate avenues/actions that increase possibilities for social justice for those who are younger while, at the same time, avoiding determinism. In this time of globalization, hyper-capitalism, and discourses that would control and disqualify through constructions like accountability, we believe that projects such as this are of utmost importance. The volume is divided into four major sections to reflect the multiplicity of human voices and perspectives (section I), contemporary circumstances and dominant discourses within which we all attempt to function (sections II and III), and the generation of new possibilities for constructing relationships together (section IV). Finally, a voice from the «heart» within a «reconceptualist» social science agenda for early childhood studies is presented. 416 pp. Englisch.

By using archival and ethnographic evidence from Buddhist traditions, the author highlights the disparity between doctrines that contradict actual practices performed by Buddhists themselves. By appealing to the evolved cognitive architecture of human minds, this book argues that ritualized disposal behavior is the by-product of mental systems designed to handle living people. Due to complex social intelligence, humans are compelled to handle dead people in ritualized behaviors and to represent them in counterintuitive ways. The author also examines the professional religious guilds that have taken advantage of these ritualized compulsions over the last several thousand years, by giving and controlling the meanings behind these actions. Furthermore, experimental evidence is given to support this hypothesis, providing the first mature cognitive and evolutionary theory for mortuary behavior by humans. 182 pp. Englisch.
