It examines the practices of reportage in an era of social networking and online news, an age of altered audience expectations in which the biggest tabloid scandal is the conduct of the tabloid press itself. It debates notions of subjectivity and objectivity in journalism today, explores how new technologies have mobilized professional and aspiring journalists alike, examines the practices and impacts of citizen journalism and user-generated content, investigates the political and cultural value of populist news and interrogates how radical ongoing developments in political, economic, professional, institutional and technological conditions are continuing to change the nature of the news industry in the second decade of the twenty-first century. 250 pp. Englisch.

A public management model, adopted for ongoing considerations, covers both changes in public organisations themselves, namely in their internal environment, as well as changes spurred by dynamic shifts in the external environment, such as the management system as a whole. The study attempts to demonstrate that efficient functioning of public organisations has a significant impact on shaping relationships based on trust within and between organisations. It also presents the concepts of corruption, fraud and trust. The research completed with regard to the organisational perspective of creating public trust is a contribution to the advancement of organisational theory. 255 pp. Englisch.

In recent research for the author's Spirit of the School project, a number of pupils, teachers and headteachers described times when they felt lonely and times when they felt the need for healthy solitude. The causes of loneliness are numerous and its consequences have a significant unrecognised impact on education. How do schools deal with people when they are lonely, and how can they overcome loneliness How can they create opportunities for healthy solitude, a welcome alternative to loneliness Schools can sometimes try to include people by being intensely social, but end up making them feel even more excluded. A school that teaches solitude well and helps individuals deal with loneliness can be called an 'enstatic' school: a school in which people are comfortable within themselves. The objective of this book - the first comprehensive study of the subject - is to help us all understand loneliness and solitude and thereby to reinvigorate debates on personal, character and values education. 212 pp. Englisch.

The proceedings of the conference revolved around three major thematic areas: metaphorical and metonymic underpinnings of meaning in language and beyond, prototypical and gradual phenomena pertaining to linguistic categorization across the lexicogrammatical continuum, and the need for advancing theoretical tools. These recurring themes are reflected in the three-part structure of this volume, with contributions from nearly two dozen researchers exploring a broad array of linguistic as well as non-linguistic data. 276 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the many facets of the work of Pierre Klossowski (1905-2001). Klossowski first established himself as a writer and was known and admired by peers such as Bataille, Blanchot, Gide, Foucault, Deleuze and Lacan. But in 1972 he gave up writing to devote himself to his 'mutism': painting made up of large coloured drawings. In time he became as famous a painter as he had been a writer and theorist. Klossowski now has two separate groups of commentators: those concerned with his writings and those with his painting, with little overlap between the two. Here, this separation is explicitly removed. Klossowski's entire oeuvre revolved around the concept of the gaze. Rarely has the gaze been so radically interpreted - as an active, mobile, evanescent object that breaks down the connections between representation and the visible. How is one to see the invisible divinity This question plagued Klossowski, and he displaced it onto pornographic rituals. The pantomime of spirits is the scene, fixed in silence, where bodies meet - a knotting of desiring body and dogmatic theology. A creator of simulacra, Klossowski attempted to exorcise the 'obsessive constraint of the phantasm' that subjugated him in all these scenes. Translated from the French by Adrian Price in collaboration with Pamela King. 308 pp. Englisch.

Marlitt was a bestselling author of the late nineteenth century whose romance novels dominated the German literary market between 1865 and 1888. Her novels appeared in thirty languages, with as many as five different English translations circulating simultaneously in the United States alone. While her name is virtually absent from histories of German literature, recent scholarly studies of individual novels suggest the need to reassess her contributions. This study is the first in English to examine E. Marlitt's complete fiction. It situates her prose against the backdrop of women's discourse and nineteenth-century historical developments in the German Empire. It synthesizes findings of both American and German scholarship to show how her social constructs advanced a liberal political agenda while resisting the conventional view of «natural» gender roles. The book provides a context for recognizing Marlitt's clever use of the conventionality and acceptability of the romance genre to reposition the image of middle-class women. Her emphasis on personal autonomy, educational opportunities and new fields of professional engagement for women advanced altered images of family, class and national identity. Ultimately, this study of a popular author illuminates domestic, middle-class issues that underwent significant transformations equal to the Empire's public developments under Bismarck's politics. 381 pp. Englisch.

Anhand einer Analyse der Figur des Gangsters lässt sich aufzeigen, dass im Justizroman eine von Grund auf veränderte Thematik vorliegt, dass Justiz kein Kriminalroman ist, sondern ein philosophisches Werk, in dem es um die Problematik der Erzeugung von Glauben und Macht geht. Justiz reiht sich dadurch in das noch wenig gewürdigte, gewaltige Werk der Stoffe-Zeit ein, in der der Autor sich von einem ideenzentrierten Denken abwendet und ein systemkritisch analytisches Denken praktiziert. Was Friedrich Dürrenmatt «philosophisch» nennt, sind paradoxe Gleichnisse, welche die Ordnungsmuster des bürgerlichen Kriminalromans kritisch hinterfragen. 156 pp. Deutsch.

The book comprises nine chapters on different aspects of the variety based on original research. The journey ME has taken as a postcolonial variety is discussed in terms of its linguistic development within the current frameworks of World Englishes (WE), particularly with regard to the evolution of new Englishes. Thus, the book discusses a range of ME linguistic and development issues such as lexis, phonology, modality, discoursal features, linguistic style and variation based on a variety of spoken, written, formal, informal, literary and non-literary language data. The findings from the studies contribute new knowledge on how ME has developed and also importantly, the realities and prospects of the variety as a dynamic and rich New English. 300 pp. Englisch.

Outstanding researchers from Social and Humanities fields adapted the hybridization of society such as a new perspective in order to study and understand the evolution of conviviality from the Middle Ages to current days throughout a comparative space and time. Taking the concept from the anthropology, the hybridization became a new approach for social studies and Humanities. Hybridization offers a historical perspective in order to renew perspectives for study different societies during all historical periods since Middle Ages to current days. At the same time, hybridization appears as a tool for analysing social realities in the different continents of the word. In any case, it is a new way in order to understand how the societies reaches its respective cohesions throughout mixted identities. 296 pp. Englisch.

The studies include works of prominent art historians, theatrologists and artists. The present revisiting of Kantor's artistic oeuvre reflects a contemporary historiographic approach. The authors place value on individual memory and consider contemporary art outside the traditional boundaries of particular artistic genres. The studies employ the latest strategies for researching theatrical performance as autonomous statements, without a literary anchor. Thanks to this approach, the eschatological and historical issues, crucial to the sphere of reference of Kantor's Theatre of Death, have acquired a new presence - as art that liberates thinking in the here-and-now. 426 pp. Englisch.

In Late Ming China, the Italian Jesuit Alfonso Vagnone, also named Gao Yizhi, and the Chinese scholar-official Han Yun collaborated on a project to write down 355 chreiai and sayings. These short commentaries are not mere translations of the Grecoroman text but the elaborate literary creations of two luminaries working at the junction between Chinese and Western wisdom literature. Along with the original Chinese and its English translation (the original source is included when available) the authors share their expert analysis of each chreia.

Drawing on genre analysis and corpus linguistics, the studies collected here combine attention to generic structure with emphasis on language variation and change, thus offering a multi-perspective view on a genre that is becoming one of the most important in present-day research communication. The chapters are organized into three sections, each one offering distinct but sometimes combined perspectives on the exploration of this academic genre. The first section looks at variation across cultures through studies comparing English with Spanish, Italian and German, while also including considerations on variation across genders or the native/non-native divide. The second section centres on variation across disciplines and includes a wide range of studies exploring disciplinary identities and communities, as well as different degrees of centrality in the disciplinary community. The third and final section explores language and genre change by looking at how authorial voice and metadiscourse have changed over the past few decades under the influence of different media and different stakeholders. 361 pp. Englisch.

What might be called the pragmatism of the elite gave rise to a form of democratic compromise, allowing the growth of political ideas that may still be found in contemporary political thought. Have reformist, socialist, liberal or utilitarian ideas avoided the dogmatism of twentieth century politics or paved the way to other forms of ideology To what extent has the organization or gradual obliteration of the State been influenced by evolutionary theories, the quest for effective government and expertise or, more generally, refusal of the past What was the impact of Victorian thinkers and ideas on the mutation of contemporary political ideas Have we reached a post-Victorian period or are we still using a Victorian rhetoric as well as Victorian theories Have we not, also, reached a stage in which retrieving some of those ideas might help to solve some of our contemporary political problems The essays presented in this book all attempt to answer some of these questions and try to show how nineteenth century thought and culture have shaped British modern political debate and, for some, still continue to do so. It will prove useful to academics and the general public interested in contemporary politics as well as the history of ideas and political philosophy. 376 pp. Englisch.

The aim is to understand the reasons that allow social cohesion throughout the creation of identities and its adaptation. Identity is individual and collective, momentary and secular, apparently contradictory terms that can only coexist and fructify if they entail a constant adaptation. Thus, in a changing world, the identities are always on the move and the continuity of society requires a permanent move. Values, Culture, Language and History show the societies in permanent evolution, and demand an interdisciplinary perspective for studying. Attending this scope, outstanding historians, sociologists, linguistics and scientists offer here a diachronic and interdisciplinary approach to this phenomenon: how men and women have been combining the identity and the move in order to feel save into a social life from Middle Ages to current days, and how different items, in our present society, built the framework of identities. 515 pp. Englisch.

Die Arbeit leistet einen weiterführenden Beitrag zu der Debatte um die Stärkung direktdemokratischer Elemente auf kommunaler Ebene. Sie ist aber auch baurechtlich wertvoll: In der Darstellung der hier untersuchten Problematik erscheinen die Maßstabsnormen des BauGB in einem klareren Licht. 226 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Fotodokumentation 12 Million Black Voices von Richard Wright und Edwin Rosskam und der Gemäldezyklus The Migration of the Negro von Jacob Lawrence befassen sich mit der Great Migration, der afro-amerikanischen Urbanisierungsbewegung Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts. Diese beiden in Deutschland noch wenig bekannten Werke bedienen sich unterschiedlicher Medien und sind dennoch als Kombinationen von Bild und Text vergleichbar. Sie werden zunächst in ihrem jeweiligen Kontext untersucht - dem dokumentarischen Genre der 1930er-Jahre sowie der afro-amerikanischen Kunst nach der Harlem Renaissance -, um anschließend im close reading des Zusammenspiels von Bild und Text und in einer vergleichenden Analyse zu einer neuen Einschätzung dieser bedeutenden Darstellungen der Great Migration zu gelangen. 222 pp. Deutsch.

Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Darstellung des bestehenden Kompetenzgeflechts zwischen Universität und Land aufgrund der gesetzlich verankerten Aufgabengewährleistung von Forschung, Lehre und Krankenversorgung. Mögliche Rechtsformen eines Universitätsklinikums und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten werden aufgezeigt. Die Autorin richtet ihr Augenmerk auch auf das seit 2006 materiell privatisierte Universitätsklinikum Marburg/Gießen. Sie kommt unter anderem zu dem Ergebnis, dass der hoheitliche Auftrag der Aufgabengewährleistung in einer öffentlich-rechtlichen Rechtsform erfolgreicher durchzusetzen ist. 237 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Der minderjährige Mensch nimmt heute in unserer Rechtsordnung eine in besonderem Maße geschützte Sonderstellung ein, die aber in vielen Bereichen wiederholt zu schwierigen rechtlichen Konstellationen führt. Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht ein kleiner Ausschnitt dieser Problematik, nämlich die Frage nach dem Recht sowie der Fähigkeit Minderjähriger, im medizinischen Kontext eigenverantwortlich Entscheidungen zu treffen. Unter besonderer Beachtung des Selbstbestimmungsrechtes Minderjähriger werden praktikable, mit dem geltenden Recht sowie mit aktuellen entwicklungspsychologischen Erkenntnissen als auch mit der heutigen rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Stellung des Minderjährigen im Einklang stehende Lösungsansätze für ein reformiertes Schutzkonzept aufgezeigt. 266 pp. Deutsch.

Nach dem Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzil soll die Exegese diese Texte mit allen verfügbaren - menschlichen - Methoden durchleuchten, um in ihnen Gottes Wort zu finden. Georg Fischer, dem diese Festschrift gewidmet ist, hat sich stets der Vielfalt des alttestamentlichen Kanons verpflichtet gewusst. Diese Weite spiegelt sich im vorliegenden Band, der fünf Beiträge zum Pentateuch, sieben Artikel zu den prophetischen Büchern, verschiedene Studien zu den Schriften sowie eine Arbeit zum Neuen Testament vereinigt. Alle Autoren dieses Bandes sind dem Jubilar als Lehrer begegnet. Ihre Beiträge sind von seiner Ausrichtung inspiriert. Sie präsentieren exegetische Analyse, die auf das Verständnis der theologischen Botschaft abzielt. 299 pp. Deutsch.
