This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When educated men in the seventeenth century thought about the Earth on which they stood, they might ask themselves the following questions. When was the world created Why How Out of what Where did people come from Do we all share the same origin How were other living things generated Can species vary at all What are fossils The common answers to these questions were rooted in the Bible. The world was made around the year 4000 BC by the direct command of God; people all come from Adam and Eve; species do not vary and fossils are inorganic in origin. Most people assumed that the teachings of theology and of natural philosophy (what we would later term «science») were both continuous and harmonious. But there were radical new answers to these questions of origin too. This is the story of how the emerging discipline of experimental philosophy reacted to the opening chapters of the book of Genesis to interpret the physical origin, present status, and final destination of the Earth. The Royal Society of London, created in 1660 «for the improving of natural knowledge», was where these bold new answers to old questions were formulated, discussed, contested, and modified, by men such as Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, Edmond Halley, and Thomas Burnet. 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The entry of the capital relation into its epoch of structural crisis forms the basis for the development of the author's conception of revolutionary agency. Drawing on the work and achievements of both Marx and Hungarian socialist thinker István Mészáros, May relates the emergence and deepening of the structural crisis to the decline of trade unionism as the traditional and universal form of organization deployed economistically by workers against capital. In the relationship between the «defensively-structured», universal, trade union form and the growing contradictions of the global capitalist system, May seeks to unearth the possibility of a higher form of agency which is more adequately adapted to address the immediate and long-term objectives facing millions of people today worldwide in the age of capital's «destructive self-reproduction». Looking back in order to look forward, he also subjects the form of agency within the Russian Revolution to a critique which relates it directly to the conditions prevailing in Russia at the time. In so doing, he questions its supposed validity as a form of revolutionary agency for the struggle to put an end to the global capitalist system today. 464 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Widely hailed as one of the best feminist-oriented series on television, NBC's Parks and Recreation (2009-2015) presents a multifaceted text for examining the incorporation of feminist ideology into its storylines. This book analyzes the various ways the series presented feminism as a positive force, such as the satirical portrayal of patriarchy; alternative depictions of masculinity; the feminist ideology and political career of main character Leslie Knope; the inclusion of actual political figures; and depictions of love and romance as related to feminist thinking. A much-needed treatment that adds to the literature on feminism in media and popular culture, this book serves as an ideal resource for instructors and scholars of gender and mass media, women's studies, and media criticism by investigating Parks and Recreation's place in the continuum of other feminist-leaning television programs. 154 pp. Englisch.

Dieses Jahrbuch versucht erneut wissenschaftliche Verständigung über die Denkmöglichkeit materialistischer Pädagogik unter den Bedingungen des ausgehenden Jahrhunderts. Das geschieht durch Reflexion auf den Begriff derMündigkeit, der jeder pädagogischen Bemühung zugrunde liegt und ohne den keine Erziehungs- und Bildungstheorie aufzubauen ist. Mit diesem Begriff sind folglich sämtliche pädagogische Veranstaltungen verknüpft; an ihm müssen sichdaher die Differenzen bestimmen lassen. Materialistische Theoriebildung hat ihre Zielvorstellung in der Veränderung von Praxis, die individuelle Mündigkeit nur fördern kann, indem und soweit sie gegen allgemeine Ursachen von Unmündigkeit angeht. 322 pp. Deutsch.

Si l'entrepreneuriat est le produit d'initiatives individuelles, celles-ci sont contextualisées, et s'insèrent dans des pratiques sociales dans lesquelles une grande variété d'acteurs interviennent : autorités publiques, grandes entreprises, centres de recherche, université, structures d'accompagnement à la création d'entreprise, mais aussi des dynamiques familiales qui restent importantes de nos jours. Mais, l'entrepreneur et l'entreprise sont aussi géographiquement situés. La localisation géographique influe sur l'identité de l'entreprise et inversement l'entrepreneur contribue au développement de l'économie locale. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de montrer que l'entrepreneuriat est un fait social total et que son étude s'inscrit dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire : économie, gestion, sociologie, histoire et géographie. 304 pp. Französisch.

Im Mittelpunkt steht die Aufarbeitung der Übersetzungsgeschichte vom Türkischen ins Deutsche von ca. 1850 bis Ende 2014. Imagologische Aspekte wie die Entstehung des deutschen Türkeibildes sind ein Teil der Betrachtung, da das vorherrschende Bild von Nationen sich auf die Wahrnehmung der jeweiligen Literatur auswirkt. Für den türkisch-deutschen Kontext ist die Aufarbeitung der Übersetzungsgeschichte vom Türkischen ins Deutsche von Belang, da traditionell enge wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Beziehungen zwischen beiden Ländern bestehen. 248 pp. Deutsch.

Experts from both sides of the Mediterranean accepted to contribute to this book in order to foster the public debate in the North-African countries by informing actors of the civil society about the risks of this new generation of free trade agreements of the EU for the respective countries and their population. In fact, by analyzing the impact of the structural adjustment programs of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria since the late 1980s followed up by the EU's free trade policy, the authors seriously doubt about the positive effects on development and prosperity promised by the promotors of free trade. They underline, on the contrary, that it is the EU which profits from the asymmetric power-relations in order to pursue its economic and especially its security interests related to 'illegal migration'.Publié un an après le début des négociations sur l'Accord de libre échange complet et approfondi (ALECA) entre la Tunisie et l'Union européenne, cet ouvrage veut contribuer au débat public dans les pays concernés et alerter les acteurs de la société civile sur les risques que comporte cette nouvelle génération des accords de libre-échange de l'UE. Les experts nord-africains et européens réunis pour débattre des enjeux de la politique économique de l'UE vis-à-vis des pays de l'Afrique du Nord mettent sérieusement en cause la promesse de développement et de prospérité du libre-échange. Analysant l'impact de cette politique entamée par la Banque mondiale et le FMI depuis les années 1980 en Tunisie, en Algérie et au Maroc et poursuivie par l'UE, ils soulignent au contraire que l'UE profite de l'asymétrie des relations de pouvoir pour poursuivre ses intérêts économiques et sécuritaires liés à la « migration illégale ». 288 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.

Tricksters rove and ramble in the pages of literature; the canon is replete with tricksters who throw dust in the eyes of their dupes and end up victoriously. But what if the trickster is African American And a female And an African American female This book limits the focus to this figure as delineated in the writings of: Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison. The black female trickster's battles provoke unique strategies of tricksterism. Her liminal positionality is distinguished for she occupies myriad peripheries in terms of class, race and gender; in addition to her social oppressions, and carrying within a legacy of African spirituality and an excruciating history of slavery. The black female trickster subverts hegemonic discourse individualistically; through tricks, she emerges as a victim who refuses victimization, disturbs the status quo and challenges many conventions. 138 pp. Englisch.

The portrayal of teachers in popular motion pictures is based on individual efforts rather than collective action and relies on codes established by stock characters and predictable plots, which precludes meaningful struggle. These conventions ensure the ultimate outcome of the screen narratives and almost always leave the educational institutions - which represent the larger status quo - intact 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. 260 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ces colloques Asie-Europe consacrés aux approches juridiques et politiques permettent de comparer des systèmes différents sans d'abord en maîtriser toutes les nuances changeantes. Leur parti-pris est de faire se rencontrer des collègues de trois pays ou pays d'Eurasie (Kazakhstan, France, Corée, bientôt Chine et Russie) et les laisser dialoguer en tant que spécialistes de 'leur' système nationale pour faciliter les comparaisons.De ces initiatives construites, il ressort deux éléments. Malgré les certitudes chez certains Européens que le droit communautaire de l'UE est unique en son genre, le droit régional n'est qu'un genre de droit international. Malgré les difficultés pour les centrasiatiques dans leur transition postsoviétique d'imaginer un droit transfrontières, il existe un besoin de gestion commune des progrès juridiques de construction de cette partie de l'Asie.Il est délicat d'éviter la tentation de voir des ' modèles ' à tirer de tel ou tel système politique ou juridique. La tentation inverse est de rejeter un système comme transposable parce que trop différent. Cet ouvrage montre qu'il faut connaître les caractéristiques des autres solutions adoptées pour s'en inspirer, mieux comprendre, voire améliorer, un appareil institutionnel et normatif, issue autant de l'histoire d'un pays que des influences reçues.Ces colloques et les publications qu'ils engendrent illustrent un ingrédient de la coopération universitaire internationale : le facteur humain. Des rencontres professionnelles, lorsqu'elles trouvent un écho encourageant et une confiance sincère de la part de collègues altruistes et généreux, aboutissent toujours. Nul obstacle ne peut venir à bout du patient dévouement et de l'enthousiasme qui pousse à croire que c'est à leur éthique que l'on reconnait les hommes et les femmes de bonne volonté.Il existera bientôt, n'en doutons pas !, de multiples entreprises comparatistes entre les multiples sous-régions du continent eurasiatique. Nous sommes heureux d'avoir eu la chance de faire partie des pionnières envolées et des premières réussites ! 284 pp. Französisch.

In the world today, many young black males view athletic participation as the way to secure a successful future. Yet for the majority of them, dreams of playing professional sports rarely pan out. Many end up returning to a life of poverty as a result of the sports lure which deceives them and entices them to focus exclusively on athletic talent at the expense of their education. This book presents a social historical and critical deconstruction introducing readers to this sports lure, revealing what makes it so powerful in the lives of these youths. As Isabel Ann Dwornik documents, centuries-worth of racism in the United States is at the core of this phenomenon, which has affected the academic identity development of black male youths and has discouraged them from taking full advantage of their schooling. 252 pp. Englisch.

The book describes the epistemological threads we use to help determine what we catch up in our net as the warp threads, and our ontological threads as the weft threads. It asks: what kind of fishing nets are we weaving for our children to help them make sense of their experiences What weft threads are we including and working to strengthen, and what threads are we removing or leaving out It is important to carefully re/examine these most basic ways of catching up what sustains us in our ocean of infinite experiences, as the threads we weave for our children will determine what they catch up in their nets, until they are old enough to re/weave their own. Relational Ontologies reweaves America's epistemological and ontological fishing net on a larger scale, turning to indigenous cultures and diverse spiritual beliefs for assistance in reforming American schools. 190 pp. Englisch.

As cell phones have become more advanced and applications more innovative and fitting, candid conversations are taking place as to how technology can be a purposeful tool in the classroom. Mobile technology already attracts students and encourages text-language development; yet its accessibility affords the potential for more extended use, offering enhancement and flexibility for instructional development. In light of a shared vision of collaboration and growth developing globally within educational circles, this book examines mobile learning as a formal literacy, as a productivity environment for creative growth in and out of the classroom, and as an advancement to social learning through online networks. The book surveys media literacy education-both within the classroom and its extended implications-for concerns of civic participation and data privacy, as more educators and policymakers internationally consider the possibilities of connected classrooms and m-learning on a universal scale. 248 pp. Englisch.

Those volumes are invaluable in pointing to key ideas in the field; they provide an important and informed account of the fundamentals of media ecology as set forth at the field's inception. Yet there is more to the story. Offering an accessible introduction, and written from the perspective of a «second generation» scholar, this single-authored work provides a unified, systematic framework for the study of media ecology. It identifies the key themes, processes, and figures in media ecology that have coalesced over the last few decades and presents an elegant schema with which to engage future exploration of the role of media in shaping culture and consciousness.Dennis D. Cali offers a survey of a field as consequential as it is fascinating. Designed to be used primarily in media and communication courses, the book's goal is to hone insight into the role of media in society and to extend the understanding of the themes, processes, and interactions of media ecology to an ever-broader intellectual community. 282 pp. Englisch.

To master contemporary social challenges, Fazlur Rahman (d. 1988), Muhammad Arkoun (d. 2010), and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (d. 2010) call for revisiting the Islamic heritage, plus a fresh look onto the Quranic 'spirit'. The investigation leads through following concepts: the nature of the Quran, revelation and prophecy, the role of Muhammad and Prophethood. Discoursing the philosophers' reform ideas leads to an analysis of their exegetical methods. Do the proposed Quran hermeneutics support their reform projects This book uncovers pros and cons of these socio-intellectual innovations. It finally concludes: the thinkers' scholarly and philosophical attitude exposes itself as a humanistic endeavour. 198 pp. Englisch.

They often exist in a seemingly 'sacred' space, outside the hustle and bustle of the everyday. At their most basic level, iconic sports venues are revered and idolized. They emanate a sense of persuasion that contributes to how they become meaningful for those who come into contact with them. This book examines how and why iconic sports venues acquire meaning. Looking at different venues, chapters address how the material features of a site participate in the construction of messages and meanings, and how they influence those messages and meanings. Each chapter includes a description of the venue in question; an interpretation of its mystique; and a discussion of the implications of the interpretation.A unique and timely contribution to the fields of composition, persuasion, sport management, sport rhetoric, and communication, the goal of this book is to inspire more scholarly research, essays, and projects focused on the persuasive qualities of sports venues. More broadly, scholars, students, and professionals can use the chapters in this book as models for investigating 'iconic' structures both locally and globally. 234 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Borges gained his first lessons in philosophy from his father while still a young boy - an intimate home schooling that grew into a long-term obsession. Its ubiquitous presence in his thought and writing has made him one of the most distinctive literary philosophers in the West, expressing itself in a wide-ranging array of fictional essays, metaphysical parables, philosophical poetry, and multifaceted literary artifacts. In contrast to the prevailing perception of Borges as a 'dogmatic sceptic' for whom philosophy serves solely aesthetic or rhetorical purposes, this volume proposes a novel approach for understanding Borges as an intellectual, together with an interpretive structure for comprehending his work, based on a systematic examination of the complex relations between literary writing and Western philosophy in his oeuvre. Offering a reading of selected Borgesian texts in the light of the Western philosophers of whom he is most enamoured, and analyzing the way in which philosophical theories underpin his texts, it illustrates the fundamental tension of Borges' writing as a manifestation of what he calls the 'intellectual instinct.' 282 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Diese Monographie untersucht Leonard Nelsons Kritik an der Erkenntnistheorie. Leonard Nelson war in den ersten dreißig Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts ein bekannter Philosoph, der zusammen mit dem Neukantianismus seine Bedeutung verlor. In letzter Zeit lässt sich jedoch eine deutliche Zunahme des Interesses an Neukantianismus beobachten. Dieses Buch leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den neuen Tendenzen in der gegenwärtigen philosophischen Geschichtsschreibung und der systematischen Erforschung der zeitgenössischen Philosophie. Der Autor stellt darin eine eingehende und systematische Analyse der Kritik von Nelson an der Erkenntnistheorie dar. Diese Kritik wird vor allem aus der Sicht des Neukantianismus vorgenommen, aber auch andere wichtige Referenzen wie Phänomenologie und Positivismus werden berücksichtigt. 236 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dieses Buch untersucht den sprachlichen und textuellen Erfahrungsraum indigener Schreiber in der öffentlich-rechtlichen Sphäre während des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts in Peru, der bislang von der Hispanistik und der historischen Forschung kaum beachtet worden ist. Die empirische Grundlage bilden erstmals zugänglich gemachte juristisch-administrative Texte, die im Jauja-Tal in den zentralen Anden Perus auf Spanisch entstanden. Die Autorin unterzieht sie einer pragmatisch orientierten Textanalyse. Die Berücksichtigung der historischen Verortung der Daten und der Sprachkontaktsituation Spanisch-Quechua im Jauja-Tal, die diese Studie durch eine qualitative Analyse gewährleistet, erweist sich als Schlüssel zu einer angemessenen Interpretation der Texte. 228 pp. Deutsch.
