Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Wirtschaftskrisenphänomene erfordern eine unkonventionelle Beurteilung und entsprechend unkonventionelle Lösungsansätze. Denn nach üblicher wirtschaftspolitischer Analyse bleiben die Phänomene unverständlich und greifen die gängigen wirtschaftspolitischen Maßnahmen nur, wenn sie zur Verhinderung wirtschaftlicher Katastrophen - ebenfalls unkonventionell - so massiv zum Einsatz kommen, wie die 750 Mrd. EUR zur Stützung der gefährdeten Länder der Eurozone. Die enorm wachsenden Staatsschulden und finanziellen Risikoübernahmen machen die Weltwirtschaft aber immer krisenanfälliger. Solange die Wirtschaft florierte, galten die Wirtschaftsbosse als Leit- und Vorbilder. Analysiert man jedoch, wie sie die Krisenerscheinungen zeitigten, dann erscheinen die Großen Tiere der Wirtschaft als Haie , Heuschrecken und anderes Getier . Die komplexen Krisenaspekte werden als Aphorismen dargestellt, die zusammen jedoch ein Gesamtbild der wirtschaftlichen Situation ergeben. 120 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent decades many countries have implemented neoliberal reforms that have had adverse consequences for unions. In Chile this process was particularly sweeping, having occurred under the right-wing dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. Despite the transition to democracy in 1990, the labor relations system created by the Pinochet regime is still largely in place. Although a number of works have assessed the conditions of unionism in post-dictatorship Chile, little attention has been paid to the firm level, which is where most of the collective bargaining now takes place.This book takes a qualitative approach to examining the dynamics of collective bargaining at the firm level in democratic Chile by investigating the causes of variation in the bargaining outcomes of fifty-three unions in four firms in the banking, manufacturing, retail and telecommunications sectors. It seeks to explain both variation in individual union bargaining outcomes within firms and aggregate differences in outcomes between firms. The book also provides a systematic explanation of the decline of collective bargaining results among Chilean unions in general during the 1990s and early 2000s. 250 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -How can Europe 2020, the EU's new Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, lead to a stronger Social EU with less poverty and greater social cohesion This book by a number of eminent scholars and experts is the first to attempt to answer this question.The adoption in June 2010 by EU leaders of a target to lift at least 20 million people out of the risk of poverty and exclusion by 2020 is an important step forward. However, delivering on this and the Union's four other mutually reinforcing targets, and achieving the EU's ambitious social objectives, raises many political and technical challenges. These are examined in depth in this book.A key objective of the book is to take a critical look at and draw lessons from the past, 2000-2010 Lisbon Strategy. Another important objective is to explore the format and role of EU coordination and cooperation in the social field in the new EU governance framework, in a context marked by slow recovery after the global economic crisis. Finally, the book also makes proposals for the further reinforcement of this coordination and cooperation and for the improvement of the different instruments available at EU, national and sub-national levels.The analysis and concrete proposals presented in the book will be invaluable to policy-makers, researchers and other stakeholders interested in contributing to building a more Social EU. They will help to encourage new ideas and innovative approaches. 277 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -En 1930, el poeta y crítico literario dominicano Max Henríquez Ureña, en su ensayo El retorno de los galeones , indagaba acerca del origen de la influencia de la literatura hispanoamericana en los escritores europeos y, más concretamente, en los autores españoles.Las investigaciones presentadas en el Coloquio Internacional del Centre de Recherches sur l'Amérique Ibérique et l'Europe (Créamé) de la Universidad de Lieja el 11 y 12 de diciembre de 2008, recogidas en estas actas, constituyen un conjunto de respuestas originales sobre el tema, al relacionarlo con el viaje de América a Europa de personas, productos, conceptos y formas culturales, que abarcarían del barroco al tango, de la implicación latinoamericana en las guerras mundiales a las relaciones literarias, de inmigraciones a imágenes políticas.Así reunidas, las reflexiones que el lector encontrará en este libro van más allá de las divisiones disciplinarias impuestas por las tradiciones académicas, en la medida en que se vinculan con los campos de la historia, de la antropología y de los estudios literarios y culturales.Esta diversidad de miradas muestra, por tanto, el carácter poco uniforme de este movimiento de retorno, sugiriendo con ello la complejidad todavía latente en los viajes que hasta hoy en día siguen conectando ambos lados del Océano. 174 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le rôle fondamental joué dans l'acte de lecture par les divers niveaux de stéréotypie disponibles dans la mémoire collective avait déjà été évoqué maintes fois au cours du XX e siècle, mais l'étude systématique de leur impact dans la compréhension, l'interprétation et l'évaluation des textes littéraires restait à entreprendre. C'est à cette tâche que s'est attelé J.-L. Dufays. Passant en revue les codes de la lecture, les phases de son déroulement et les diverses modalisations dont le sens peut faire l'objet, il montre que tout lecteur se meut dans un jeu de reconnaissance et d'ignorance, de participation et de distanciation à l'égard des stéréotypes du texte, et il suggère que l'exploitation maximale de ces tensions pourrait constituer la forme la plus aboutie de la réception littéraire. La partie majeure de l'étude, qui concerne les modes d'énonciation et les effets de lecture auxquels les stéréotypes se prêtent, montre que c'est toute la logique de l'analyse littéraire et toute l'historicité de la littérature qui se trouvent renouvelées par la prise en compte de cette problématique.Éclairant dans ses synthèses, pointu dans ses analyses, cet ouvrage ambitieux effectue nombre de mises au point dont nulle théorie de la lecture et de la littérature ne peut faire l'économie. Publié pour la première fois en 1994, il fait l'objet d'ici d'une deuxième édition actualisée. 368 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cet ouvrage fait suite au colloque international ' La problématique du développement durable vingt ans après : nouvelles lectures théoriques, innovations méthodologiques, et domaines d'extension ' (Université Lille 1, novembre 2008). Les contributions réunies ici s'attachent à porter un nouveau regard sur les dynamiques territoriales associées aux politiques de développement durable en mettant l'accent sur les liens qui unissent ressources, patrimoine et territoires. Dans un premier temps, les auteurs reviennent sur un certain nombre d'approches méthodologiques (participation et villes durables, démarches d'écologie industrielle) mais aussi théoriques du développement durable territorialisé. Plusieurs enjeux importants au sein des espaces urbains et péri-urbains, en France et à l'étranger (Suisse, Brésil), pour la mise en oeuvre d'un développement durable territorialisé (étalement urbain et aménagement, transport, qualité de l'air, drainage) sont ensuite analysés. Enfin différentes approches théoriques et analytiques (économie du patrimoine, approche constructiviste des ressources territoriales, espaces fonctionnels, approche régulationniste) sont mobilisées pour interroger la place et le rôle des dynamiques patrimoniales et des ressources naturelles et territoriales dans la construction d'un développement durable des territoires. 281 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book was shortlisted for the ESSE Junior Scholars book award for Cultural Studies in English, 2012 Since its inception cinema has served as a powerful medium that both articulates and intervenes in visions of identity. The experiences of British colonialism in Ireland and India are marked by many commonalities, not least in terms of colonial and indigenous imaginings of the relationships between colony or former colony and imperial metropolis. Cinematic representations of Ireland and India display several parallels in their expressions and contestations of visions of Empire and national identity. This book offers a critical approach to the study of Ireland's colonial and postcolonial heritage through a comparative exploration of such filmic visions, yielding insights into the operations of colonial, nationalist and postcolonial discourse. Drawing on postcolonial and cultural theory and employing Bakhtin's concept of dialogism, the author engages in close readings of a broad range of metropolitan and indigenous films spanning an approximately fifty-year period, exploring the complex relationships between cinema, colonialism, nationalism and postcolonialism and examining their role in the (re)construction of Irish and Indian identities. 220 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Trasmettere la memoria attraverso un genere d'intrattenimento quale il noir può sembrare paradossale. Invece è proprio il romanzo poliziesco, a partire dagli anni Settanta, a evidenziarne i nodi gordiani e i lati oscuri spesso rimossi dalla Storia ufficiale. Un'operazione complessa nel caso italiano, in cui il passato nazionale rimane dilaniato da fratture interne e la cultura di massa non sempre viene ritenuta il veicolo ideale per trasformare la memoria in strumento conoscitivo. Tali dilemmi vengono affrontati in un'ottica pluridisciplinare che spazia dalla semiotica alla psicologia e alla storia, passando da analisi testuali ad approcci intermediali. Mettendo a confronto le dimensioni temporali, spaziali e identitarie del passato con le forme della letteratura d'inchiesta, il volume indaga la presenza o meno di una base unitaria per la memoria italiana. 313 pp. Italienisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -En este libro se examinan los fundamentos teóricos de los textos de estética del pintor Ramón Gaya, unos de los más desconocidos y reivindicables del pensamiento español contemporáneo. Con la intención de completar el cómputo de escritores que contribuyeron a forjar la estética española moderna y de arrojar luz sobre su propia obra gráfica, se presta especial atención a las influencias filosóficas que se ocultan en sus ensayos, así como a los aspectos más originales de su reflexión. En diálogo con José Ortega y Gasset, Juan Ramón Jiménez, los poetas de la Generación del 27, Friedrich Nietzsche, Johann Joaquim Winckelmann, Bernard Berenson o Walter Pater, se logran descubrir los cimientos teóricos y conceptuales que sostienen la bella prosa de Ramón Gaya, y, en paralelo, los de toda una generación de escritores cuyas obras se vieron inevitablemente determinadas por los acontecimientos históricos del siglo XX. El autor de El sentimiento de la pintura y de Velázquez, pájaro solitario se perfila, finalmente, como un artista y pensador excepcional que logró retorcer, como pocos, el lenguaje para comunicar la experiencia estética y desvelar la naturaleza inefable de la creación. 192 pp. Spanisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines theatre within the context of the Northern Ireland conflict and peace process, with reference to a wide variety of plays, theatre productions and community engagements within and across communities. The author clarifies both the nature of the social and political vision of a number of major contemporary Northern Irish dramatists and the manner in which this vision is embodied in text and in performance. The book identifies and celebrates a tradition of playwrights and drama practitioners who, to this day, challenge and question all Northern Irish ideologies and propose alternative paths. The author's analysis of a selection of Northern Irish plays, written and produced over the course of the last thirty years or so, illustrates the great variety of approaches to ideology in Northern Irish drama, while revealing a common approach to staging the conflict and the peace process, with a distinct emphasis on utopian performatives and the possibility of positive change. 303 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -How does American culture deal with its memories of the Vietnam War and what role does literature play in this process Remembering Viet Nam is a fascinating exploration of the ways in which authors of Vietnam War literature represent American cultural memory in their writings. The analysis is based on a wide array of sources including historical, political, cultural and literary studies as well as works on trauma. It begins with an examination of American foundation myths - their normative, formative and, most of all, their bonding nature - and the role institutions such as the military and the media play in upholding these myths. The study then considers the soldiers' and war veterans' minds and bodies and the stories they tell as key sites in the debates over the war's place in American cultural memory. The multilayered approach of Remembering Viet Nam allows the investigation of Vietnam War literature in its whole breadth including the debates instigated by the works examined and the influence these narratives themselves have on American cultural memory. Most importantly, the analysis uncovers why American foundation myths - despite their being thoroughly questioned and even exposed as cultural inventions by authors and reviewers of Vietnam War literature - can still retain their power within American society. 262 pp. Englisch.

To fill this gap, this book examines a corpus of Chinese PhD thesis acknowledgement texts in order to explore both the typical structure of the texts and their social function within the particular university setting as well as within a broader social context. The author uses stratified purposive sampling and semi-structured text-based interviews with PhD graduates, their supervisors and other acknowledgee representatives to gather data. Furthermore, PhD guid Elektronisches Buch, supervisors' CVs and graduates' publications have been collected. Three theoretical notions - communities of practice, audience and politeness - are drawn into account for the findings of the study. Besides uncovering several undocumented move patterns, the book offers insightful understanding of acknowledgement texts both as a part-genre of research writing as well as a window of the textual and social world of PhD graduates' chorus of gratitude. 255 pp. Englisch.

Damit werden nicht allein Konzepte zu Weiblichkeit und weiblicher Sozialisation als einflussgebende Faktoren weiblicher Subjektivierung benannt, sondern vor allem jene zu «Genialität» und «Männlichkeit» in ihrer Bedeutung für Identitätsentwürfe von Künstlerinnen untersucht. Demgegenüber steht die Darstellung von künstlerischer Identität als Entwicklungsprozess, als Erfahrung des Werdens. Diese konterkariert das «Künstler-Genie», die überlieferte Idealkonstruktion künstlerischer Existenz, die sich primär als Erfahrung des Seins generiert, und schafft dadurch Anknüpfungspunkte zur Gestaltung künstlerischer Lebensentwürfe und neuer KünstlerInnenbilder. Mit Portraits von Lore Heuermann, Johanna Kandl, Brigitte Kowanz, Friedl Kubelka, Florentina Pakosta, Eva Schlegel und Barbara G. Wochner. 244 pp. Deutsch.

Dieser Generationenwandel, der im historischen Verständnis kaum zur Sprache kommt, widerspiegelt sich in Familiengeschichten und in der Literatur, nicht zuletzt in der Literatur für Kinder und Jugendliche in allen europäischen Ländern. Die vorliegende Beitragssammlung dokumentiert ein Symposion von Kinder- und Jugendbuchfachleuten aus acht europäischen Ländern und geht der Frage nach, welche Ideen, Wünsche, Hoffnungen, aber auch Realitäten und kritischen Haltungen Kindern und Jugendlichen in dieser Zeitepoche literarisch vermittelt wurden und wie sich in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts auch Modernisierungsprozesse abzeichnen, die den gesellschaftlichen Wandel begleiten, reflektieren oder auch mit beeinflussen. 198 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Born into a German-French bilingual environment, the once renowned German-language author René Schickele (1883-1940) grew up in the Alsace region - today located in eastern France - during its annexation to the German Empire when links to French culture were frowned upon. In the aftermath of the First World War the situation was reversed when Alsace was reclaimed by the French Republic. In both these phases of its troubled history, Schickele insisted on the importance of Alsace's right to retain its double cultural heritage between the borders of its powerful rival neighbours and on its potential, as mediator between France and Germany, to promote peace in Europe. These issues are addressed in a critical discussion of a range of Schickele's works. His controversial wartime drama Hans im Schnakenloch affords a wry but penetrating insight into issues of identity in Alsace under German rule up to the war, while his socio-political essays and a novel trilogy, Das Erbe am Rhein, were written against the backdrop of the malaise alsacien and life under French rule. The historical background to the work is examined in detail as it is intimately bound up with the issues of cultural identity that Schickele explores in his writings. 292 pp. Englisch.

The first four chapters deal with more practical issues of applying corpora to language learning and teaching, examining particularly the integration of data-driven learning and different types of corpora including pedagogical, spoken multimedia and parallel. The last three chapters are concerned more with corpus-based research for language teaching arguing for more refined statistical methodology, comparing conversational features of the British National Corpus with a micro-corpus of movies and forwarding the case for research into corpus-based, meaning-oriented multimodal annotation, respectively. This volume is homage to John Sinclair's academic legacy and the groundbreaking work which continues to honour his name. 214 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of essays examines current trends in scholarly research on Spanish author Carmen Martín Gaite (1925-2000). It concentrates on the least explored areas of Martín Gaite's oeuvre, such as her collage artwork, the relationship between image and text in her work, and her close relationship with themes such as genre writing, the fairy tale, and textual/physical notions of space, as well as her personal theories on orality and narration. As we pass the tenth anniversary of her death, Martín Gaite continues to be an increasing focus of study, as scholars start to identify and comprehend the breadth and scope of her work. The essays in the volume complement previous studies of Martín Gaite's major works from the 1960s and 1970s by focusing largely on her later novels, together with in-depth analysis of the manuscripts and artistic materials that have been made available since her death. 322 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There are as many as 3,400 correspondents covering the United States, among them approximately 600 print and broadcast correspondents from European countries. The importance of the foreign correspondents corps stationed in the United States and of their work has increased commensurate with the world preeminence gained by the U.S. after World War II. This book examines the state of research on European foreign correspondence from the United States and on the corps of journalists that produces it. Contributions from both European and American authors examine the varied conceptual issues regarding foreign correspondence, the methodologies that have been employed in studies carried out on both sides of the Atlantic, and the theories that were and could be tested when studying the subject. The book serves as a prolegomena to future studies on foreign correspondence and correspondents. 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Longtemps marginalisée, sinon négligée, l'histoire des relations culturelles internationales a désormais droit de cité. En quelques années, la bibliographie s'est considérablement étoffée et les initiatives scientifiques se sont multipliées, en France comme à l'étranger. Ce livre, au croisement des disciplines historiques - histoire culturelle, histoire des relations internationales - synthétise à la fois les réflexions antérieures et les travaux les plus récents. Son objectif est de clarifier les concepts et de proposer des méthodes d'analyse.Des notions en apparence aussi élémentaires que celles de ' relations ', d'' échanges ' ou de ' transferts ' culturels méritent une définition rigoureuse. Elles sont ici mises en perspective historique dans un ensemble d'études qui montre les divers degrés de la relation, depuis la plus institutionnelle et la plus volontariste (la diplomatie culturelle) jusqu'aux multiples formes de l'acculturation.Dans le présent ouvrage, l'étude historique de la relation culturelle passe par une analyse systématique de ses facteurs, de ses acteurs et, bien entendu, de son sens et de ses effets, ce qui suppose une lecture des phénomènes d'hégémonie, des mécanismes d'appropriation et des contenus, qu'ils soient esthétiques ou éthiques. Chacun des processus évoqués est considéré sous l'angle des dynamiques spatiales et temporelles, et propose une périodisation et des grilles d'interprétation. 693 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The survey compares the rules on contractual non-performance and remedies under the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Principles of European Contract Law, and Indian statutory contract law (including the Indian Contract Act, 1872). Given that most Indian statutes were derived from English law and may therefore be viewed as 'codified common law', this comparison may contribute to the question of whether, especially in view of contract law harmonisation in the EU, the civil-law and common-law traditions could be merged in a common code. Moreover, it may help identify legal differences that are relevant to doing business between India and Europe. The general conclusion of the survey is that the Principles and Indian statutory contract law share a close proximity especially because many of their provisions on non-performance and remedies appear to be derived from the same concepts and also provide for very similar consequences. 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This anthology contributes to a scholarly understanding of the aesthetics and economics of female artistic labour in the Victorian period. It maps out the evolution of the Woman Question in a number of areas, including the status and suitability of artistic professions for women, their engagement with new forms of work and their changing relationship to the public sphere. The wealth of material gathered here - from autobiographies, conduct manuals, diaries, periodical articles, prefaces and travelogues - traces the extensive debate on women's art, feminism and economics from the 1830s to the 1890s. Combining for the first time nineteenth-century criticism on literature and the visual arts, performance and craftsmanship, the selected material reveals the different ideological positions surrounding the transition of women from idleness to serious occupation. The distinctive primary sources explore the impact of artistic labour upon perceptions of feminine sensibility and aesthetics, the conflicting views of women towards the pragmatics of their own creative labour as they encompassed vocations, trades and professions, and the complex relationship between paid labour and female fame and notoriety. 388 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is the relationship between habits and emotions What is the role of the embodiment of emotions in a cultural habitat What is the role of the environment for the formation of emotions and subjectivity One way to address these questions is through discussing an emotional habitus - a set of habits and behavioral attitudes involving the body that are fundamental to emotional communication. But this set of habits is not independent of context; it takes place within a specific emotional habitat in which other bodies play a crucial role. Together, these constitute the foundation of sociocultural communities, psychologies of emotions and cultural practices - and they have much to contribute to the study of emotions both for cognition and aesthetics. Thus, the challenge of addressing these questions cannot be faced by either the sciences or the humanities alone. At the Berlin-based conference: Emotion and Motion, scholars gathered from various disciplines to broaden perspectives on the interdisciplinary field of embodied habits and embodied emotions. This book offers a new view on the related field of habitus and the embodied mind. 260 pp. Englisch.
