Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Apparent political apathy among youth in the United States has led to a moral panic about the future of democracy. Many researchers question the facts, while others seek to engage and mobilize young people around public issues they care about in order to master the citizen role and to bring social change. Civic youth work has its modern roots in this work. Its guiding ethos is authentic, meaningful, just, inclusive, and consequential youth involvement in everyday civic life through a small-group process, with the goal of supporting citizenship for young people as a life-long practice. Using their U.S. and international experience, the authors discuss civic youth work touchstones, promising practices, and activities. The text expands earlier notions of youth engagement by grounding them to a conception of the lived-citizen. A substantive bibliography lists the sources on the subject of civic youth work and provides links to scholarly work for researchers and practitioners to effectively support youth involvement in community, social, and political development. 154 pp. Englisch.

Seit den Umbrüchen 1989/1990 hat sich in dem sozialistischen Karibikstaat eine rege Debattenkultur entwickelt. Der Autor weist an zahlreichen Beispielen nach, dass Künstler und Intellektuelle bei diesen Kontroversen um die Gewichtung sozialer und politischer Rechte in vorderster Reihe stehen. Dennoch werden sie im Diskurs über Kuba weitgehend ignoriert. Ohne den Blick auf die Kultur aber kann man die Veränderungen der Kubanischen Revolution und die Stabilität des sozialistischen Systems nicht verstehen. Mit diesem Buch hat der Autor erstmals eine Studie dieser innerkubanischen Debatte vorgelegt - und kommt zu erstaunlichen Ergebnissen. 123 pp.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An international cooperation of psychoanalysts presents the role of symbolization in the development of the human mind. Based on Freud's theory of the Unconscious and of infantile sexuality we have now a deeper understanding of myths like Oedipus and the Sphinx and the representations of human struggles in art. In this book, this is illustrated from prehistoric paintings until poetry of the 20th century. The Sphinx, half animal, half human, represents the elaborations of sexual fantasies revealing desires and fears. She symbolizes an archaic maternal imago, seductive and threatening, omnipotent and enigmatic. She is a symbol of contradictions like drive and reason or gain and loss of knowledge. Case stories show that patients today feel not 'devoured by the Sphinx', but by their work ('burn out'), by annihilation anxiety, narcissistic or borderline disturbances, psychosomatic problems etc. But the 'archaic mother never dies'. 105 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -At a time when the power of schools and both state and federal education authorities to guide young people's sense of belonging is being challenged by multilingualism, by the claims of supra- and subnational regions and minorities, by memories of national catastrophes and crimes, and by out-of-school educational media, this collection of essays provides an apposite exploration of the ways in which shared narratives continue to be transmitted and learnt. Its authors, whose work emerged from a series of conferences organised by the French National Institute for Pedagogical Research in Lyon, Barcelona and Paris in 2010, demonstrate not only ways in which multiple disciplines (including history, literature, social and language studies) address young people's sense of attachment, but also how challenges to educational policy are reflected in school textbooks and curricula in Algeria, Bulgaria, Catalonia, France, Galicia, Germany, Quebec, Senegal and the USA. These studies about the role of education in relation to largely tenacious but shifting national identities should appeal to specialists of education, nationalism studies, history and political science. 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Culture changes historically, and along with it, reflexive disciplinary representations. Without fully abandoning Sociology, especially the classical tradition, and instead aligning it with its own religious origins and inclinations to an emergent socio-religious imaginary, we look elsewhere for a historically more effective hermeneutic. Here we look especially toward Jewish mysticism - particularly its social face in Hasidism - as a source not only for alternative adaptive social practices within a 'society of excess', but at the same time show how it offers novel interpretations of social dynamics. 'Mystical sociology' is a hybrid term which displays continuing reliance on the sociological tradition, but also an ambition to reach into mysticism for its social hermeneutic and to think socially in a much wider, multi-dimensional space, described by James, Toulmin, Steinbock, Corbin and others, in terms of the cosmic, cosmological, or vertical dimension. Scholarly analyses of mysticism are reviewed and placed in relation to the religious turn, the post-secular and, broadly, to resacralization. Beyond the religious turn, mysticism is seen as at the heart of resacralization. A double-edged sword of remysticization is described; on the one hand, offering social materiel for everyday counter practices to excess, unintentionally reinforcing the hegemonic regime of commodification; but also, providing an opening toward a multidimensional critical theory - one which rides the blurring of the spiritual/material boundary, to offer a new vision of social practice and social theory, beyond resacralization and after spirituality. 234 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although Erving Goffman never claimed to be a media or communication scholar, his work is definitely relevant to, and has already served as a substantial resource for, those who are. This is the first detailed presentation and analysis of his life and work intended specifically for a communication audience. While primarily an introduction to Goffman's work, those already familiar with his ideas will also learn something new. In addition to summarizing Goffman's major concepts and his influence on other scholars, the book includes an intellectual biography, explication of his methods, and an example of how to extend his ideas. Readers are invited to consider Goffman as a lens through which to view much of the pattern evident in the social world. Goffman's work always appealed to the general public (several of his books became bestsellers), and so this book has implications for those who are interested in the role of media or communication in their own lives as well as those who study it professionally. 190 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seventy-five years after the infamous broadcast, does War of the Worlds still matter This book answers with a resounding yes! Contributors revisit the broadcast event in order to reconsider its place as a milestone in media history, and to explore its role as a formative event for understanding citizens' media use in times of crisis. Uniquely focused on the continuities between radio's «new» media moment and our contemporary era of social media, the collection takes War of the Worlds as a starting point for investigating key issues in twenty-first-century communication, including: the problem of misrepresentation in mediated communication; the importance of social context for interpreting communication; and the dynamic role of listeners, viewers and users in talking back to media producers and institutions. By examining the «crisis» moment of the original broadcast in its international, academic, technological, industrial, and historical context, as well as the role of contemporary new media in ongoing «crisis» events, this volume demonstrates the broad, historical link between new media and crisis over the course of a century. 306 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The stories that are told about the death of Osama bin Laden are interculturally significant as a reminder of the many culturally contested junctures, fissures, and ruptures that circulate in the «true» stories that are told about Operation Neptune's Spear. This book's critical intercultural approach investigates what U.S. and international audiences were saying about other cultures while they wrote and talked about the bin Laden raid. The book explains why so many elite and public cultural communities have a vested interest in telling the story of «what happened» during the famous raid. The authors argue that these mediated debates have become inextricably entangled in political, military, cultural, and legal rhetorics of «American exceptionalism», where various U.S. and international audiences defend or attack particular interpretations of the raid and comment on the unique values and characteristics of America's Way of War. This important book gives readers a sense of what these exceptionalist rhetorics look like when they circulate in different cultural and military contexts. 244 pp. Englisch.

The research sought to identify the best indicators for predicting how well off a household is. Using a set of innovative statistical methods and econometric tools, including out-of-sample validation tests, receiver operating characteristic curves, and bootstrapped simulations, this book demonstrates that using a proxy indicator-based system to target development programs such as fertilizer subsidy programs may be worth the extra effort and may improve program targeting and cost efficiency in Malawi. With increasing pressure to target better development programs at the poor and smallholder farmers in order to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the methodology applied in this research can be extended to other developing countries.The research on which this volume is based received the 2012 Josef G. Knoll European Science Award of the Foundation Fiat Panis (Germany). 136 pp. Englisch.

The purpose of this book is restore the centrality of pedagogy in governing the ways literary texts are received, experienced, and interpreted by students in the classroom. Utilizing a method of pedagogical criticism, it provides an account of core approaches to teaching literature that have emerged across history and the conceptual values informing these approaches. More importantly, Reading the World discusses how these values have been shaped by broader global forces and key movements in the discipline of English Literature. To varying degrees, these approaches are aimed at cultivating a hospitable imagination so that students may more fully engage with multiple others in the world. Given the reality of an increasingly interconnected twenty-first century, literature pedagogy plays a vital role in schools by demonstrating how world, global, and cosmopolitan approaches to teaching literature can facilitate the prioritization of the other, challenge us to think about how we can be accountable to multiple others in the world, and push us to continually problematize the boundaries of our openness towards the other. 208 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Au fondement de cet ouvrage, un constat : les usages croissants de méthodes phénoménologiques en sciences humaines. Depuis plusieurs années en effet, émerge le souci, un peu partout dans les sciences humaines, de rompre avec des approches surplombantes du monde, des espaces, des sujets. Aujourd'hui, la phénoménologie semble être la perspective la plus pertinente pour répondre à cette exigence.À travers le spectre de leur discipline (sociologie, anthropologie, psychiatrie, psychanalyse, géographie, théorie sociale), des praticiens exposent dans cet ouvrage en quoi ils revendiquent un point de vue et une approche proprement phénoménologiques face à des difficultés que les méthodes usuelles de leurs disciplines respectives ne parviennent pas à surmonter. Pour ce faire, ils ont à la fois recourt à la pratique en livrant des exemples concrets, des ' terrains ' et des ' cas ' bien spécifiques, et à la théorie, en exposant leurs univers théoriques de références et en privilégiant certains auteurs phénoménologues. 171 pp. Französisch.

By exploring how emotions, ethnic or national belonging and digital technologies work together in constructing an apocalypticizing national self, this book offers a complex analysis of far rightist apocalyptic narratives. Content analysis performed on the blog of the New Right, a far rightist organization from Romania, unveils a fascinating imaginary of fear and hate toward otherness, of strong beliefs that the world, our world, is ending through its transformation into something else - something that we know and, at the same time, do not know and loath. The social psychology of emotions, belonging and identity, the sociology of globalization and studies on cyberhate are intertwined into the exploration and interpretation of on-line apocalyptic narratives that imagine the Gypsification and Hungarization of Romania and the Islamization of Europe as irreversible change. 181 pp. Englisch.

Aujourd'hui, les droits sociaux visent moins à protéger les individus qu'à transformer durablement leur destin (les rendre plus ' employables ', plus ' insérables '). Les vies et les envies des personnes vulnérables sont ainsi sans cesse passées au crible de l'expertise croisée des professionnels de l'État social transformateur. Mais comment individualiser les droits, personnaliser les réponses, lorsque la pression du flux de demandes s'accroit Comment évaluer chaque demande particulière sans porter atteinte au principe d'égalité de traitement En s'appuyant sur un programme d'enquêtes socio-ethnographiques dans cinq secteurs (politique de l'emploi, insertion des jeunes, administration pénitentiaire, handicap, et logement), cet ouvrage explore les multiples facettes de la production collective du jugement sur les personnes vulnérables prises sous l'angle social, professionnel ou médical. 242 pp. Französisch.

The author makes a persuasive case that neoliberals actively seek the deepening of the financial crisis to support their ideological demands for the shrinking of government expenditure. Indeed, he argues that neoliberals have an interest in encouraging a psychosis about public deficits in the general population to justify the cuts to public spending that will deny services to those same citizens. 182 pp. Englisch.

Au lieu d'étudier l'assimilation de l'(im)migrant dans la culture majoritaire, faudrait-il plutôt étudier les conflits tels que ceux-ci se manifestent aujourd'hui Troisièmement, il y a la créolisation. Si le monde se créolise, cela veut dire, entre autres, que le local fera partie du global et que le global, à son tour, fera partie du local.The articles collected in this volume are written by researchers in contemporary Quebec literature and in Scandinavian and Finnish literature. There are three different thematic starting points. The first one is the question of performativity. What kinds of performative acts (linguistic, ethnic, sexual, etc.) are placed at the centre in the contemporary novel Meaningful conflicts is the second one. Instead of studying the question of the possible assimilation of the (im)migrant into majority culture, should one rather start by studying conflicts as they occur today Third, there is creolization. If the world is creolized, this means for example that the local will be part of the global and that the global will become part of the local. 211 pp. Französisch, Englisch.

Through the study of a variety of spaces, this book provides an exploration of the notions of private self and public sphere and considers their interaction. It focuses on areas where the spheres of public and private merge, meet or clash, and assesses the role played by spatial practices and representations in the complex coexistence, mutual definition and constant negotiation of public and private. It offers a variety of approaches, ranging from literature to history, art history, film and cultural studies. It brings to the fore issues relating to the production of space, such as perceptions and definitions of the self and privacy, the politics of the private and public, gender representations, the construction of collective and cultural memory, and the relationship between the individual and the urban environmnent. 232 pp. Englisch.
