Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fruit d'un colloque scientifique organisé en septembre 2012 à l'Université de Neuchâtel, le présent ouvrage aborde la question du supportérisme de football sous des angles encore peu explorés. Il porte sur les modes d'organisation des supporters et leur capacité à juguler les manifestations extrémistes ou à défendre des intérêts communs vis-à-vis des clubs, des fédérations et des instances publiques. Les contributions, qui concernent des contextes géographiques différents (Argentine, Belgique, Croatie, Egypte, France, Roumanie et Suisse), amorcent une réflexion plus générale sur la constitution de réseaux d'acteurs nationaux et internationaux, et sur les dynamiques à l'oeuvre dans les stades. En effet, le supportérisme change de visage. Aujourd'hui, les supporters ne se contentent plus de soutenir leur équipe favorite, mais ils formulent aussi des revendications sur des objets qui les concernent directement (aménagement des stades, législations spécifiques, etc.). 160 pp. Französisch.

Der hippokratische Ratschlag Nur nicht daran rühren ist Geschichte! Da Melanome sehr langsam wachsen und das diagnostische Fenster jahrelang offensteht, propagiert man heute eine primäre Prävention (Meiden von Sonnenlicht) und einen regelmäßigen Melanom-Check bei Risikopersonen. Dies war nicht immer so. Zunächst war der Weg der Hautkrebsvorsorge und -früherkennung steinig und die ersten Schritte aus heutiger Sicht mühsam und bescheiden. Das Buch fasst die Anfänge der Melanom-Prävention in Australien, den USA und Deutschland zusammen. Als Zeitzeugen der Anfänge dieser Geschichte schaffen es die Autoren, die Erinnerung an die wichtigsten Epochen der Melanom-Prävention wachzuhalten. 143 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'enracinement en Europe des musulmans issus de l'immigration peut être considéré comme l'un des événements les plus considérables de la deuxième moitié du siècle dernier. Aujourd'hui il n'est désormais plus possible de penser au développement de nos sociétés européennes sans considérer le rôle actif que les musulmans ont à l'intérieur de celles-ci ; leur ' européanisation ' et l'' islamisation ' de l'Europe représentent des processus considérables d'intégration dans l'intégration.Cet ouvrage analyse, avec un vue sociologique et post-nationale, les voies d'une rencontre entre Europe et islam : les modèles d'intégration, le rôle des femmes et des jeunes, le statut de minorité, la nécessité de réviser et d'adapter les catégories d'interprétation de la réalité et de modifier l'habitus mental et les pratiques.D'où la présence de plusieurs communautés à la recherche d'une nouvelle identité, qui tentent de se coordonner mais qui peinent à trouver un sentiment commun, bien que même l'idée de la Oummah (la communauté des croyants) représente un archétype persistant très suggestif.Le profil de l'islam en Europe est très complexe, pluriel et avec un potentiel de développement très diversifié. Beaucoup de voix et de voies représentent l'identité et les trajectoires d'un possible islam européen qui reste largement à inventer. 146 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of papers focuses on cognitive metaphor research (CMR) from the perspective of the current debate on linguistic data and evidence. The peculiarity of the book is that it reveals the causes that trigger the methodological problems of data handling in CMR. These problems include the identifiability of metaphors in discourse and the reliability of the methods of gathering metaphors such as linguistic intuition, discourse analysis, corpus analysis, and psycholinguistic experiments. In order to overcome their weaknesses and to enhance their reliance, the papers argue, on the one hand, for the combination of different methods of gathering and evaluating data in CMR. On the other hand, the papers also point out that converging evidence cannot be obtained without constraining the combinability of data stemming from different sources. 149 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There is an intrinsic connection between the notions of image and time. Visual images can strike us as incomplete, as ambiguous, unless they are moving ones, happening in time. However, time cannot be conceptualized except by metaphors, and so ultimately by images, of movement in space. The philosophy of images and the philosophy of time are interdependent. This book argues for the reality of time and for visual images as natural carriers of meaning. The experience of the passage of time, of the reality of time, is embodied and made visible in the bodily gestures of time, and indeed in all our gestures. Meaning, both emotional and cognitive, is grounded in the motor dimension. By implication, no meaningful philosophy of time can neglect the aspect of motor imagery. 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cities in industrialised countries have grown over time, yet shrinkage of cities occurs in many regions. This process has many impacts on urban ecology, which can be observed on urban brownfield sites in particular. The integration of these sites with sustainable urban development must be managed. This presents new challenges for urban planners. The first chapters give an overview of urban ecology concepts and how research in this field is affected by urban shrinkage. The following sections are concerned with botanical aspects of shrinking cities, perception of nature in the context of shrinkage and discussion of aspects of urban planning with reference to several regional examples. The book concludes with a study of urban shrinkage during the life cycles of city archetypes. 161 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Démocratie et diversité sont-elles conciliables Et, si oui, à quelles conditions Selon un discours dominant, le modèle libéral, pluraliste et multiculturel serait le seul véritablement en mesure de répondre à ce défi. Mais le prix à payer serait un renoncement à l'idéal républicain du bien commun et à l'idée d'une communauté de citoyens qui s'autogouvernent.Les auteurs de ce livre, qu'ils s'inscrivent dans les courants républicain, libéral ou radical, ne partagent pas ce constat. La conciliation entre démocratie et diversité n'a pas le libéralisme multiculturel comme seul horizon. Au contraire, c'est en reposant les fondements de la démocratie, et en conservant à l'arrière-plan un certain héritage républicain, que peut émerger une nouvelle approche de la diversité.Pour certains auteurs, cet héritage républicain est celui de posséder une grammaire culturelle commune afin d'assurer une cohésion collective, pour d'autres, il s'exprime comme liberté de non-domination ou encore comme modèle d'autodétermination démocratique. Un héritage qui est pluriel, mais qui a encore un rôle aujourd'hui pour répondre aux problèmes politiques des sociétés démocratiques, dont celui de la diversité et de la reconnaissance des différences. 222 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the face of growing needs and problems around urbanization, the sustainable development of cities does not lie only in technology, research and innovation. Sustainable local development also results from a combination of different elements related to the development of social cohesion, the local economy, the environment and culture; also, crucially, it depends on the autonomy of local authorities and the adoption of the most appropriate system of governance. In addition, the urgent need to create better and more liveable cities is now inextricably linked with the integration of environmental principles, in order to prevent the waste of resources and mitigate climate change by restricting CO2 emissions. Within this framework, new strategies have been implemented for the development of 'New Towns' or satellite cities. This publication gathers together contributions from different experts involved in the EAST (Euro Asia Sustainable Towns) project. The contributors originate from India, China, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, the United States and France, and come from a variety of different backgrounds, including academic researchers, urban planners, architects, political scientists and practitioners. 262 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -ALDA - The Association of Local Democracy Agencies - is an organisation dedicated to the promotion of good governance and citizen participation at the local level. It is made up of over 160 members comprising local authorities and civil society organisations in the enlarged Europe. Recently, new forms of interaction between citizens and decision makers have been put in place. By analysing ALDA's 15 years of hands-on activities with its members and partners, this publication contributes to a better understanding of the added value of citizen participation at the local level in Europe and its neighbouring countries. This book brings together the work of the Director and staff of ALDA and of the Local Democracy Agencies, as well as numerous practices and voices from the members and partners of its vast network. Through the field experiences presented, ALDA shows how and why citizen participation leads to the adoption of better solutions, and, at the same time, fosters long lasting, balanced development. This publication formulates conclusions and offers insightful input for future activities aiming at building truly democratic local democracy. It is therefore particularly useful for all those who intend to work within the recently adopted programme 'Europe for Citizens' 2014-2020, as well as to bridge the topics of active citizenship and development - the focus of the European Years 2013 and 2015. 391 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On the global scale, the challenges surrounding development are massive and complex, as inequalities in living conditions between the richest and poorest countries become greater. Development is a global challenge on a par with the financial crisis and environmental concerns. The participation of local communities and towns in development programmes may result from a desire for influence at an international level, rather than the idea that they can bring some measure of stability, like the large NGOs. In this context, culture remains an omnipresent factor. Indeed, culture takes on a multifaceted front for it is not solely limited to the organisation of cultural activities or the protection of heritage, but also about the values, significance, and everyday actions of human communities. It contributes to the well-being of local populations. Using culture as a transversal tool to solve the development issues means tackling those issues from a different angle: bringing solutions to some multicultural questions that exist in rich countries. This book brings together a selection of articles by researchers and experts in this area from a wide variety of backgrounds, disciplines and countries. 237 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book analyses the transnationalisation of collective bargaining by European trade unions, presenting key theoretical concepts and debates on the Europeanisation of collective bargaining and social dialogue. The author uses comprehensive empirical evidence to illustrate that trade union strategies can be linked to sector-specific economic, institutional and actorrelated factors. Looking at seven different industrial sectors, the book investigates whether western European trade unions pursue a centralised, vertical approach towards the transnationalisation of collective bargaining policies or embark upon decentralised, horizontal cross-border initiatives. It identifies and operationalises the most important determinants of processes and explores commonly held assumptions about relationships between different forms of trade union-driven transnationalisation. Overall, the study reveals a number of patterns in the variation between countries and sectors, both of the institutions and instruments involved and of the intensity of cross-border coordination. 289 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is the first monograph on one of the least studied and most controversial European Union citizenship rights. Despite the importance of consular protection in a globalised world, many EU Member States are reluctant to recognise consular protection for EU citizens abroad as a right, leading to a protracted struggle to place the right to consular protection on a solid legal basis through a directive. This book examines the right to consular protection as an illustrative case in the debate over a multilevel design of EU citizenship combining rules from several different legal systems, whose interplay is reinforced by the extra-territorial character of consular protection. It offers a comparative analysis of the provision of consular protection in the 28 EU Member States as well as of the respective international law and EU rules. By examining the right to consular protection in its constitutional setting as a right flowing from EU citizenship, the book frames the analysis of all EU citizenship rights as fundamental rights in a multilevel-governance context. 286 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Are we witnessing the decline of state involvement in education or is it being reshaped, and if so how Surprisingly, this question has received little attention from researchers in education studies, sociology and political science. This book aims to fill this gap by exploring school evaluation policies in four European countries: England, France, Scotland and Switzerland. It shows that the same policy tool - promoted in many European and international arenas concerned with good practice in educational governance - can actually give rise in each system to a variety of policy configurations in which forms of state control can differ. Written from a policy sociology perspective, the book aims to go beyond the decline/permanence dichotomy and proposes a specific conceptual framework within which to consider both contextualised forms of state intervention and their potential similarities and combinations. By doing this, the authors not only aim to counterbalance or supplement dominant views on the Europeanisation and transnationalisation of education policies but also to imagine new possibilities for state policy analysis. 210 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le débat sur le multiculturalisme, qui a accompagné pendant les quatre dernières décennies la mise en place des premières politiques multiculturalistes dans les démocraties libérales avancées, a modifié profondément notre manière de percevoir la culture et la diversité culturelle. Nos sociétés auraient ainsi pris conscience du pluralisme culturel qui les traverse, et seraient devenues plus sensibles aux injustices faites aux minorités nationales et culturelles au nom d'une certaine idnom d'une certaine idée de la nation, de la démocratie, de la liberté ou de l'égalité. Pourtant, le multiculturalisme est loin de faire l'unanimité aujourd'hui ; selon certains diagnostics, il serait même en crise.Le présent ouvrage propose un bilan critique du multiculturalisme, tant au niveau des réalisations des politiques multiculturalistes que de ses apports théoriques au débat sur la diversité et sur l'unité en démocratie. Les conclusions des auteurs sur les trois axes privilégiés dans ce livre (fédéralisme et pluralisme national ; critiques de l'universalité ; reconnaissance du pluralisme linguistique) sont contrastées mais permettent de dresser un tableau clair et nuancé des apports et des limites du multiculturalisme dans les démocraties libérales. 303 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nessuna città d'Italia è più crepuscolare di Roma. Le relazioni fra il cenacolo romano di Sergio Corazzini e i simbolisti belgi propone un'analisi comparata (dal punto di vista semantico, lessicale, tematico e stilistico) fra i quattro principali animatori del cenacolo corazziniano (Corazzini, Martini, Marrone e Tarchiani) e i simbolisti belgi, in particolare Maeterlinck e Rodenbach, senza dimenticare Verhaeren, Gilkin, Elskamp e Van Lerberghe. Risulta esplicito, nella riflessione culturale dei principali esponenti della cerchia corazziniana, come sia necessario diventare 'allievi' di una tradizione europea e come, nella ricerca di 'maestri' che fornissero dignità e statuto letterario al gruppo, i simbolisti belgi, per affi nità di pensiero, atmosfere e linguaggio poetico, fossero stati individuati quali riferimenti principali. È attraverso la lettura delle loro opere che i membri del gruppo corazziniano maturano una visione 'alternativa' di Roma, che se in parte risente anche delle descrizioni di altri scrittori italiani coevi, di fondo evidenzia una distanza dalle immagini classiche della capitale. Roma diviene così una città dell'anima, irreale ma al tempo stesso concreta, con le sue chiese di campagna, le sue vie che ne mostrano i lati non urbani, le visioni notturne di conventi che la fanno assomigliare alle città nordiche cantate dai simbolisti. 286 pp. Italienisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides new insights into the negotiation and management of diversity in complex democratic settings. Much debate has been generated recently over questions of human rights and dignity with the aim of empowering and improving the recognition of smaller nations. The book's central idea is that respect for democracy and protection of human rights represent the most potent ways for the advancement and enrichment of cultural, ideological and legal pluralism. The pursuit and accomplishment of such objectives can only be achieved through negotiation that leads to the accommodation and empowerment of minority groups and nations. Negotiating Diversity brings into dialogue political scientists, philosophers and jurists, and enriches a major discussion launched some years back by Yael Tamir's Liberal Nationalism, Alain-G. Gagnon and James Tully's Multinational Democracies, as well as Wayne Norman's Negotiating Nationalism, and Will Kymlicka's Multicultural Citizenship. 260 pp. Englisch.

Cet ouvrage a choisi de s'arrêter sur un moment décisif de cette histoire : le tournant des XV e et XVI e siècles en péninsule italienne, un véritable laboratoire de la langue et des idées. Les contributions de chercheurs internationaux de renom, de plusieurs disciplines, viennent éclairer ce moment de l'histoire pour parvenir à une ' grammaire ' de la politique aux origines de la Modernité.Il s'agit, en ultime instance, de comprendre de quelle façon s'articulent entre eux les mots et les choses, les termes et les catégories conceptuelles. Pour ce faire, cet ouvrage procède à l'étude de concepts clés, de ' constellations terminologiques ' articulées autour de noyaux sémantiques et lexicaux, et à l'analyse de la construction du discours et de la rhétorique politiques. Ceci permet de faire dialoguer les textes entre eux et, par conséquent, de leur rendre leur charge de vie et de sens.Una storia della lingua politica è ancora tutta da fare. In questo volume si è scelto di mettere a fuoco un momento decisivo di questa storia: la svolta tra il quindicesimo e il sedicesimo secolo nella penisola italiana, un vero e proprio laboratorio per la lingua e le idee. I contributi di studiosi di fama internazionale, di varie discipline, gettano nuova luce su questo momento della storia, per giungere ad una 'grammatica' della politica al principio della Modernità.In ultima istanza, l'obiettivo è quello di comprendere come si articolano le parole e le cose, i termini e le categorie concettuali. Per fare questo, il volume procede allo studio di concetti-chiave, di 'costellazioni terminologiche' articolate intorno a nuclei semantici e lessicali, e all'analisi della costruzione del discorso e della retorica politica. Questo permette di fare dialogare i testi tra di loro e, di conseguenza, di restituire loro il proprio carico di vita e di senso. 307 pp. Französisch.

From the young bachelor's 'angry vow' to 'live for himself and turn the key on his heart' in Watch and Ward (1871) to the decisive The Turn of the Screw (1898) and to the final 'turning the tables' on 'an awful agent' of the Apollo Gallery in the nightmare of A Small Boy and Others (1913), this refined 'ambassador' of American letters, sharing some of the idiosyncrasies of Sacher Masoch and Gustave Flaubert - Jean-Paul Sartre's 'Idiot of the family' - waged a fantastic fight against neurosis for the mastery of his craft. This study explores the 'gems' that spangle the 'carpet' of his prose. The latter hints at a secret christology and shines with the desire to fight differently the modern Romains de la decadence depicted in Thomas Couture's famous painting. The myth of the Twins inspired by James's relationship with his brother William eventually led him to feel like 'the heir of all the ages'. Burning some letters to protect his privacy, the expatriate writer (1843-1916) constructed his oeuvre to share the sky of the literary world Pleiades, and found eternal rest under the vaults of Westminster Abbey. 309 pp. Englisch.

Seventeen scholars from North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe demonstrate the dynamics of cross-referentiality and mixtures involving also newer and popular arts and media: photography, film, video, comics, dance, opera, computer imaging, and more. They consider an expanded universe of discourses embracing contemporary science as well as traditional subject matters. Discussions of theoretical and methodological approaches keep company here with intensively focused case studies of works in which discourses and media establish new relationships. Together, the chapters constitute a dazzling introduction to the diverse realm of imaginative products that the human mind can conjure in pondering the 'when', 'where', and 'how' of existence. 263 pp. Englisch.

Der Autor reflektiert die Grundsätze, die zur Trennung der Kirche vom Judentum geführt haben, und prüft die biblischen Grundlagen der kirchlichen Lehre daraufhin, ob sie die Prinzipien, denen folgend die Kirche sich vom Judentum getrennt hielt, bestätigen und begünstigen oder ob sie vielmehr einen Brückenschlag zwischen den Religionen nahelegen. Die heilige Schrift steht für einen Zusammenhang der Erinnerungen, der durch die aktuellen Ereignisse nicht verdeckt oder verdrängt, sondern erneuert und bestärkt wird. Immer mehr exegetische Beobachtungen bestätigen den Eindruck, dass auch das Neue Testament zu diesem Erinnerungszusammenhang gehört. Trotz unübersehbaren Impulsen der Entfremdung vom Judentum hätten die Jünger Jesu ohne beständigen Rekurs auf Thorah und Propheten weder seine Intention noch sein Schicksal verstanden. Er selbst hat ganz in der Verbindung mit der jüdischen Tradition gelebt und gedacht. 222 pp. Deutsch.

Die AutorInnen diskutieren unterschiedliche Ansätze einer sichtbaren Welt, des Räumlich-Erfahrbaren mit topographischer Akzentuierung, wobei geographische Referenzräume besondere Berücksichtigung finden. Es handelt sich um Bezüge zu Räumen, Orten und Landschaften im Leben und Werk verschiedener SchriftstellerInnen. Die Sammelmonographie setzt sich darüber hinaus die literarische Wiederentdeckung Ostmitteleuropas zum Ziel. Ostmitteleuropa wird einer erneuten Lektüre unterzogen, wobei die Fragen, wie die einzelnen Autoren den Text des Raumes lesen und wie sie mit dem ostmitteleuropäischen Raum umgehen, eine zentrale Bedeutung erfahren. Es wird auch nach den Raumfunktionen in Texten gefragt. Die Perspektive des Raumes determiniert demzufolge die Herangehensweise und den Umgang mit literarischen Texten. 245 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is a collection of essays that presents both theory- and practice-based approaches to questions concerning the embodiment of sense. Exploring the opening of meaning in sensible configurations, the texts also address the medial structures - at once aesthetic, bodily and technical - that condition our access to whatever makes sense to us. The texts show in various ways how these phenomena call for trans-disciplinary research, and how theoretical or philosophical questioning gains from the experimental possibilities of artistic research. 183 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Henry James (1843-1916) has been widely acclaimed for the elegance of his prose, the incisiveness of his social comment, and the subtlety of his psychological analyses. Whereas James's tales and novels have been carefully studied over the past decades, his non-fiction, including literary criticism, travel writing, biographies, and autobiographies, still remains at the margins of critical activities. This study seeks to explore some of these neglected aspects of James's work, while at the same time interrogating the traditional formula of literary auto/biography. It also attempts to piece together an image of James as a subject and object of biographical and autobiographical endeavors, including portraiture. 222 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Islam has a festival of sacrifice, id al-adha, which is celebrated each year in the month of pilgrimage. Simultaneous to the celebration and the sacrificial ritual in Mecca, during hajj, sheep, camels and cows are slaughtered all over the Muslim world. The story about how Abraham nearly sacrificed his son, Ishaq or Isma'il (Q 37), is important. Also other parts of the Qur'an contribute to the understanding of the id al-adha. Further, texts from the first 500 years after hijra contribute to a new comprehension of the theology of sacrifice in Islam. In this monograph insights from the wider field of religious and anthropological studies (esp. R.A. Rappaport) are applied to the source texts about sacrifices and rituals in pre-Islam and Islam. 279 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Based on archival research, this volume is concerned with the treatment of «fallen women» and prostitutes at the London Lock Hospital and Asylum throughout the nineteenth century. As venereally-diseased women, they were treated in the hospital for their physical ailments; those considered ripe for reform were secluded in the asylum for a moral cure. The author analyses the social and cultural implications arising from the situation of these female inmates at a time when women's sexuality was widely debated, using a gender-informed and postmodernist approach. The volume covers notions of purity and deviancy, issues of gender and sexual identity, the social and cultural issues connected with so-called fallen women and prostitutes, and descriptions of venereal disease and treatments for women patients at the time. The Contagious Diseases Acts and their impact are examined, as are the social and cultural implications of the creation of specialised hospitals and places of moral confinement. The book provides a complete picture of the Lock Hospital and Asylum and is an important contribution to the history of hospitals in the Victorian period. 220 pp. Englisch.
