Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book identifies how church cultural components are created, developed, and used to educate and empower adherents, and whether and how these tools are associated with the historic Black Church. The book is particularly interested in how large Black congregations - megachurches - use rituals found in worship, theology, racial beliefs, programmatic efforts, and other tools from their cultural repertoire to instruct congregants to model success in word and deed. The book's findings illustrate that Black megachurches strive to model success on various fronts by tapping into effective historic Black Church tools and creating cultural kits that foster excitement, expectation, and entitlement. 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has achieved celebrity status in many Western countries, yet despite considerable effort to prove its existence as a «real» disorder, ADHD still suffers from a crisis of legitimacy. Nonetheless, diagnosis and prescription of medication has grown at a phenomenal rate since the late 1980s, particularly in Western culture. Numerous accounts exist explaining how the ADHD diagnosis functions as a convenient administrative loophole, providing schools with a medical explanation for school failure, medication to sedate the «problem» into submission, or the means to eject children from mainstream classrooms. This book provides a more holistic interpretation of how to respond to children who might otherwise be diagnosed with and medicated for «ADHD» - a diagnosis which, whether scientifically valid or not, is unhelpful within the confine of the school. Training teachers to recognise and identify «ADHD symptoms» or to understand the functions of restricted pharmaceuticals will only serve to increase the number of children diagnosed and the sale of psychoactive medications. Research has shown that such activities will not help those children learn, nor will it empower their classroom teachers to take responsibility for teaching such children well. This book seeks to provide school practitioners with knowledge that is useful within the educational context to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for children who might otherwise receive a diagnosis of ADHD. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ecological education is becoming a major area of interest worldwide, and schools are increasingly being called upon to address global and local ecological concerns. Unfortunately, most teachers have limited or no training in the knowledge and skills required to support their students' sense of connection to the natural world. Moreover, they have been trained to teach in ways that often marginalize the imagination in learning. This book illustrates how imagination and the development of ecological understanding are closely connected. It offers teachers a practical guide to teaching in ecological and imaginative ways - needed support to establishing more ecologically-oriented education in all classrooms. As imagination takes a central position in schools, all teaching and learning can improve as a result. 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this book is to imagine things otherwise in theorizing childhood subjectivity. The work brings together influential thinkers who are forthright in their refusal to be seduced by simplistic binaries, who are willing to address the notion of childhood subjectivity in ways that are complex and critical, and whose arguments lead to practical advances in our thinking about child policy, child-rearing, pedagogy, and curriculum. The contributors, distinguished authors from across the English-speaking world, are concerned about the ways in which teachers' practices are increasingly boundaried and policed, and they grieve for the stifling consequences for future generations of children. Postcolonial and poststructural theories, psychoanalysis, critical theory, personal narrative, and indigenous epistemologies are used creatively to pose the question of childhood subjectivity and to engage the promise of the question-child. This work contributes to a reconsideration of childhood and a rethinking of how we might enhance each child's journey toward becoming. 247 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Millions of people have come to America seeking a different life than the one they had in their home country. The storied lives of these immigrants fill copious volumes of literature, each volume with its own interpretation of history. In documenting the history of immigrants in America through the lens of their newspapers, this groundbreaking book offers a new interpretation, illuminating how ethnic presses in America helped to shape the American Dream. Moreover, the book shows how the ethnic press continues to reshape this dream, as its function has changed from one of acculturation to assimilation to cultural pluralism targeted at the immigrant audience. The similarities between the newspapers, whether they were sojourner, political, religious, or literary in form, provide a fresh perspective on the shaping of the American Dream. 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The second revised edition of The Hollywood Curriculum analyzes over 165 films distributed throughout the United States over the last 80 years to construct a theory of curriculum in the movies that is grounded in cultural studies and critical pedagogy. The portrayal of teachers in popular movies focuses on individual effort rather than collective action, and relies on stock characters and predictable plots, precluding meaningful struggle. Conformation to these conventions ensures the ultimate outcome of the screen narratives and almost always leaves the educational institution-which represents 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. 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the ways young people engage in action, dialogue, and activism, and how they become global citizens. The essays in the book illustrate how young people with deep convictions on how to change the world make a difference in their communities. The community becomes the classroom, and their activism the true lesson. Possible 'utopias' are realized with every effort to engage in activism, to be an advocate for both oneself and others, and with each critical engagement with oppression. These young activists are the unsung heroes and theirs are the victories in current educational debates. Moving away from theoretical debates on multicultural and progressive education, this book illustrates how youth action, curriculum strategies and creative writing, service learning projects, advocacy work at community-based and grassroots organizations, and global initiatives can result in real-life victories. 344 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The formative role played by digital communication in knowledge-based societies is widely acknowledged. Not least, young people's rapid adoption of a variety of social software applications serves to challenge existing forms of communication for learning, since these innovations allow and assume users' own creation, sharing, and editing of content. This volume presents advanced research on digital content creation, its socio-cultural contexts, and educational consequences. In the midst of ubiquitous commercial hype about digital innovation, as well as policy concerns, the volume offers the sobering perspectives of theory-driven empirical research, in order to examine the complexities, highlight the nuances, and illuminate the pedagogical affordances of creative digital contents. This book brings together the work of an international group of scholars from a range of disciplines including media and ICT studies, education, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. 336 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cross-Media Promotion is the first book-length study of a defining feature of contemporary media, the promotion by media of their allied media interests. The book explores the range of forms of cross-promotion including synergistic marketing of mega-brands such as Harry Potter; promotional plugs in news media; repurposing media content, stars and brands across other media and outlets; product placement, and the integration of media content and advertising. Incorporating specialist literature, yet written in a clear, accessible style, the book combines three areas of study: media industry practices, media policy, and media theory. It examines the dynamics of cross-media promotion across converging media, drawing on a range of examples from the United States and the United Kingdom. Synergy and intertextuality are explored alongside critical debates about the 'problems' of cross-promotion. The book also offers a critical evaluation of media policy responses from the late 1980s to the present, which the book argues, have failed to grapple with the problems of media power, market power and commercialism generated by intensifying cross-media promotion. 352 pp. Englisch.

Im Feld Sozialer Arbeit wird seit langem implizit oder explizit auf «Lebensgeschichte» bezogen gearbeitet. Für eine fallbezogene Soziale Arbeit sind in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere rekonstruktive Ansätze von Relevanz. Kritisch zu reflektieren ist hier, inwieweit Adressatinnen und Adressaten im Kontext sozialarbeiterischen Handelns auf ihre Lebensgeschichten festgelegt oder gar reduziert werden, und inwieweit «biografisches Wissen» und «Ansetzen an biografischer Erfahrung» zum öffnenden, Potenziale freisetzenden Moment werden können. Der vorliegende Band vermittelt einen exemplarischen Einblick in das Spektrum der Positionen und Diskussionen zu Biografiearbeit und Biografieforschung in der Sozialen Arbeit in ländervergleichender Perspektive (Deutschland/Schweiz). Neben grundlagentheoretischen Ansätzen präsentieren die Autorinnen und Autoren eigene Forschungsergebnisse; diskutiert werden auch deren Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten für die Praxis Sozialer Arbeit. 268 pp. Deutsch.

Seine Aktualität ist bis heute ungebrochen. Die Aufnahme des epochenübergreifenden Phänomens Werther in moderne Werke deutscher Literatur zeigt die Präsenz epochaler, menschlicher Grundbedürfnisse im Original. Werther erfährt seit der ersten Stunde seiner Herausgabe 1774 zu allen Zeiten unzählige Aktualisierungen in immer neuen Variationen, ohne dass wesentliche Eigenschaften des Stoffes oder seines Protagonisten verloren gehen. Das Grundmuster à la Goethe ist stets beibehalten worden. Ziel dieser Auseinandersetzung ist es aufzuzeigen, unter welchen Umständen das Buch eine derartige Wirkungsmächtigkeit entfalten konnte, dass es fortan durch andere Autoren in verschiedenen Epochen thematisch aufgegriffen und kreativ bearbeitet worden ist. 144 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le processus d'intégration européenne a été interconnecté avec science et technologie seulement apparemment au cours de la dernière décennie. Au contraire, dès les années 1950 les États membres de la CEE et ses potentiels candidats ont été engagés dans différents projets et tentatives de coopération dans les secteurs de la science et la technologie. Les gouvernements nationaux non seulement choisirent la voie intergouvernementale, mais ils essayèrent de profiter du cadre communautaire.Ces tentatives ont produit d'autres projets débattus au niveau de la CEE sur la standardisation de l'automobile ou sur l'énergie nucléaire et les solutions à crise pétrolière, la coopération européenne a été expérimentée avec succès dans d'autres secteurs mais non seulement dans le ' berceau ' communautaire, tels que l'aéronautique ou les réseaux électriques.Ces expériences et débats sur la construction européenne techno-scientifique ont été confrontés à la compétition transatlantique, et même à celle intra-européenne. En tous cas, comme les plus récents développements semblent prouver, l'Union européenne est destinée à jouer un rôle d'innovateur technologique. Grâce à une approche historique transnationale et interdisciplinaire, serions-nous capables de suggérer quel rôle, et selon quelles trajectoires Ostensibly the European integration process has been interconnected with science and technology only in the last decade. On the other hand, since the 1950s EEC member states and would-be members have been engaged in several projects and attempts to cooperate in science and technology. National governments not only chose the intergovernmental way, but also they tried to take advantage of the communitarian framework.These attempts produced some successes inside the EEC including the European Commission's framework programme. Appart from some projects discussed at EEC level on automobile standardisation, nuclear energy and supplies during oil crisis, European cooperation in aircraft or electric power was successfully experimented but outside the communitarian networks.These experiences and debates on a European techno-scientific construction encountered competition from across the Atlantic as well as within Europe. As the most recent developments seem to prove, the European Union has to play a role of technological innovator. Thanks to a transnational and interdisciplinary historical approach, are we able to suggest which role, and by which trends 259 pp. Französisch, Englisch.

Da Orlando, Rinaldo, Bradamante ai personaggi detti barbari o minori del poema, quali Rodomonte, Mandricardo, Ricciardetto. Attraverso le parole i personaggi raccontano, istruiscono, commuovono, persuadono. Ma quali, tra i tanti personaggi che popolano il poema, fanno un miglior uso del linguaggio Quali di loro, parlando, riescono meglio a suscitare l'interesse e a farsi ascoltare Come attraverso alcuni di loro ci giunge la voce di Ariosto Qual è il rapporto tra parola e azione In che modo, nel corso del poema, evolvono i differenti tipi di parola e il loro peso all'interno del poema Brillante, scoppiettante, avventurosa, la prima parte del poema, quella più romanzesca; bellica, moralista, grave, la seconda, quella più epica. In modo innovativo, questo libro risponde alla domanda del perché Ariosto faccia succedere alla leggerezza iniziale la melanconia propria degli ultimi canti, dovuta alla consapevolezza che si sta avvicinando la fine del poema, e quindi del racconto. La constatazione, motivata da un'analisi approfondita dei discorsi dei personaggi, che la melanconia definisce altrettanto il Furioso di quanto facciano la brillantezza, la digressione, la comicità, costituisce l'originalità di questo studio. 254 pp. Italienisch.

Eine systematische rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung zwischen dem deutschen und dem aserbaidschanischen Strafrecht ist bis heute nicht vorgenommen worden. Die bestehenden Lücken werden in dieser Arbeit soweit wie möglich geschlossen. Die Untersuchung vergleicht die Stellung der Straffreistellungsgründe in Deutschland und in Russland/Aserbaidschan und die wichtigsten Straffreistellungsgründe im Einzelnen. Abschließend macht der Verfasser Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung der aserbaidschanischen Strafrechtstheorie und der Strafgesetzgebung. 184 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a major source for scholars of the latest American poetry. These exciting essays comprise energy and documented discussions on experimentalism, multiculturalism, hyperspace, and gender. Anthologies and little magazines form the matrix for this exploration on conceptual issues surrounding language. The author widens the perspective in which a great deal of writing forced the limits of poetry in this kind of publications. At the same time, he analyzes new contexts and enters into conversation with other sources for inspiration found through other disciplines such as social theory, philosophy, linguistics, and art generated at both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Reflective, taut with alertness, and exploding the postmodern concept of word/object as a liberating experience, this book becomes a driving force to address poetry and challenging political issues with admirable depth. 170 pp. Englisch.
