Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bei dieser Studie handelt es sich um den Versuch, Offenen Unterricht als Integrationsraum didaktischer Gegensätze zu bestimmen und zugleich eine Einordnung gängiger Erscheinungsformen in dieses Modell zu leisten. Auf der Grundlage systemtheoretischer Überlegungen kann man sehen, dass Offener Unterricht kein Extrem für schulische Organisation darstellt. Vielmehr zeigt sich, dass pädagogische und organisatorische Öffnung stufenweise erreicht werden kann und dass auf diese Weise Lernwege in heterogenen Gruppen entstehen, wie sie am ehesten im skandinavischen Schulsystem gegangen werden. 130 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Traditionally, the technologies of telecommunications, broadcasting, satellite, and computing operated independently while the industries associated with each were regulated independently along the same lines. Technological convergence challenges the vertical regulatory models of broadcasting, telecommunications, and computer services while simultaneously challenging the traditional approach to regulation by nation-states. It is time for a critical examination of regulations which support convergence while addressing the realities of the current media environment. This edited volume provides a heuristic analysis of the challenges facing regulators and media institutions. Chapters explore the nature of the laws and regulations straining under the new technological realities, consider the changes already made to accommodate the new media landscape, and examine new directions and approaches to the regulation of convergent media technologies and media institutions. 197 pp. Englisch.

Este libro es un análisis sobre la violencia simbólica que el yo del canon autobiográfico ejerce sobre el 'yo' femenino que escribe su propia vida. Dicha violencia simbólica es vista a partir de los elementos paradójicos - presencia-ausencia - en los que se mueve el 'sujeto femenino' en la narración autobiográfica.Un paso adelante en el análisis del 'yo' femenino se da cuando la autora se enfrenta al estudio de la autobiografía psicoanalítica, que la lleva a señalar nuevas perspectivas de inscripción en lo Simbólico de un Sujeto femenino de deseo.Además se tratan temas adyacentes como las nociones de 'tiempo', de 'temporalidad' y de 'espacio', que configuran la compleja problemática de la creación femenina, la imposibilidad de escribir en la autobiografía y la experiencia de la temporalidad en la cura psicoanalítica. Así como la noción de 'membrana elástica' a partir de la cual se da un paso más para la elaboración de la categoría Sujeto femenino de deseo. 161 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book develops a scientific approach to the phenomenon of religion. It is the conviction of the author that such an approach can only be comparative in nature, in order to overcome centuries of religiously biased views on religion. From an anthropological point of view the phenomenological school of thought is intrinsically religionistic (i.e., influenced by a particular religious frame of reference). The author formulates a model which seeks to distinguish between three irreducible religious ways (ritualistic, mythagogic and shamanistic), of which religious forms at the object level are composed. The typical characteristics of religion in the theories of the religions of the book then appear as specific ('local') formats, next to and at the same level as any other religious manifestation in the world. In a second hypothesis in the book, the primacy of action over language for the human species is argued for. Here again, a local preference for verbal actions is identified in the religions of the book. To develop a more generic view on religion, the author proposes to look at humans first and foremost as acting subjects, with verbal actions as a subcategory. 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -If Ireland's relations with the Western world have been the object of numerous scientific publications, its links with the East have been neglected by research. The aim of this book is to redress that imbalance by proposing studies of various aspects of Ireland's interactions with the East. It is a multidisciplinary publication, dealing with some of the historical, political, religious, cultural, demographic and sociological connections between Ireland - both North and South - and the East. The chapters, which offer novel perspectives for the field of Irish studies, are organised in a chronological sequence, from the mid-19th century to the present. They focus on three main areas: the links between Ireland and the Asian continent, notably India, China and Turkey; its interactions with the Jewish people and the state of Israel; and its relations with Eastern European countries, in particular Poland and Lithuania. 169 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La question de l'identité européenne a souvent été soulevée par les historiens sous l'angle de la civilisation et de l'héritage historique et culturel commun. Mais l'identité européenne n'a que rarement été abordée à travers une grille de lecture liée à l'émergence d'un espace public européen et d'une expérience de vivre ensemble. Cet ouvrage se propose donc de croiser les compétences multiples de jeunes chercheurs européens, afin d'identifier les vecteurs porteurs d'une identité européenne et de mesurer leur réalité ou leurs insuffisances. Ce faisant, il propose des pistes de développement pour cette identité européenne encore en gestation, afin d'en déterminer les enjeux pour l'Europe. À la fois objectif et handicap dans l'histoire des communautés européennes, la question identitaire semble être un enjeu majeur pour aujourd'hui comme pour demain.The issue of a common European identity has been the subject of academic research from diverse perspectives. This book approaches the theme of European identity through the interpretive lens of both European public space and the experience of living together. Young scholars in the field of European studies identify instruments for the development of a European identity and analyse their characteristics and shortcomings. These proceedings offer a spectrum of perspectives on the development of a European identity. 283 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le prix Emmanuel Vossaert décerné par l'Académie royale de langue et de littérature françaises de Belgique à été attribué à cette étude.Les principes d'action et les conditions d'exécution de la littérature sont envisagés ici, pour la première fois de manière approfondie, sous l'angle du rite.Réfléchir aux enjeux et aux modes opératoires de la littérature en référence à la ritualité permet d'articuler de manière innovante les théories de la création et de la réception. Un texte se présente pour son auteur comme un pari sur le partage possible avec des lecteurs inconnus, appelés à constituer un ' nous ' dans le rituel renouvelable de la lecture. À cet effet, on observe que l'écrivain construit une représentation et en assure l'efficacité en s'appuyant sur des substrats mémoriels - marques identitaires à l'égard d'une culture -, mais aussi en convoquant du symbolique et de l'émotionnel.Sur cet horizon théorique, ce livre éclaire par une série d'analyses les enjeux de la mise en oeuvre de rites par les écrivains de la modernité littéraire française, du XIX e siècle à nos jours. Il examine comment la littérature peut convoquer les rites profanes qui gèrent les échanges interpersonnels, et spécifiquement ceux qui engagent la parole et l'écriture. Il observe comment, dans le processus qui vise à limiter l'arbitraire du signe, les rites institués peuvent servir de modèles, a fortiori les rites religieux, dont le sens et la force intégrative sont avérés, même s'ils se situent désormais en rémanence. 256 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Work has always been and remains a powerful integrator in society. It provides places, duties and rights and classifies individuals on a scale of social prestige. Over a long period of time, however, the meaning of work has changed. It has become more diversified and it is now a matter for high expectations, of different kinds - instrumental, social, symbolic - that do not replace each other. In post-industrial societies, work and identities are still strongly intertwined despite a progressive distance vis-à-vis work (if work is considered as a value per se). Work remains a social integrator but it no longer has a hegemonic value. There is a generational component in these changes, both in the subjective meaning of work and in its objective conditions (status, trajectories, security, etc.). Do such generational differentiations unavoidably lead to fractures in social cohesion That is the key question of this book. 324 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume ranges widely - even wildly - over many speech and language disciplines and typologically diverse languages, demonstrating that the search for regularities traditionally at the forefront of linguistic work cannot afford to ignore close analysis of very particular, even idiosyncratic areas of language behaviour. This is illustrated especially in the relationship between phonetic detail and speaker characteristics, on the one hand, and between phonetic detail and phonological structure, on the other, while also including phonological analysis relevant to sound change and markedness constraints. The topics extend from articulatory and phonatory control (including a study of unusually skilled production) via audiovisual processing through to the psycholinguistics of reading comprehension and the semantics of sensory terms. 264 pp. Englisch.

In der Zeit nach PISA wird die Vorstellung, es genüge, die Bildungslandschaft zu vermessen, zunehmend als Verfremdung ihrer eigentlichen Aufgabe erkannt. Die Frage nach dem Maß, von dem her bzw. auf das hin Messungen legitimiert und orientiert werden können, rückt wieder in das Blickfeld der Forschung. Die empirische Erziehungswissenschaft vermag dieses Maß nicht zu besorgen. Gefordert ist das, was man bildungsphilosophische Reflexion im weitesten Sinne nennen muss. Ihre Aufgabe wird es sein, über die Voraussetzungen und Grundlagen, Begriffe und Normen pädagogischen Handelns nachzudenken. Vor diesem Hintergrund will der Band zur Besinnung auf pädagogische (Grund-)Fragen beitragen. 222 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'année 2009 a été marquée par la commémoration, le 9 novembre, du vingtième anniversaire de la chute du mur de Berlin. Le quarantième anniversaire de la création de la République démocratique allemande, le 7 octobre, a été pratiquement occulté ! Or l'existence de la RDA s'inscrit entre ces deux dates.Grâce à l'ouverture des archives est-allemandes mais aussi soviétiques, la RDA est devenue un véritable laboratoire d'histoire, à la fois objet et terrain de recherches pour des historiens allemands et étrangers. En France, les images de cette ' autre Allemagne ' étaient parvenues jusque-là à travers un miroir déformant. Lieu de stéréotypes et mal connue, la RDA a été longtemps considérée comme la vitrine du socialisme. L'ouverture du mur a permis de voir l'autre côté du miroir !À la lumière des sources nouvellement accessibles, les intervenants du Colloque international des Sciences historiques qui s'est tenu à Nancy du 14 au 16 mai 2009 ont revisité l'histoire de la RDA. Venus d'Allemagne, des États-Unis et de toute la France, ils ont apporté des éléments nouveaux sur la vie quotidienne de cet État (aux niveaux politique, social, culturel et économique) et sur les relations qu'il entretenait avec le monde non communiste et tout particulièrement avec le Tiers-monde. Historiens, germanistes et sociologues présents ont aussi constaté que l'image de la RDA se brouille au sein de la société civile allemande : au ' tout n'était pas si mauvais en RDA ' des années 1990 a succédé ' qu'est-ce qui était mauvais en RDA ' Alors qu'un néologisme a été créé, l'' ostalgie ', pour exprimer cette nostalgie du temps des pays de l'Est, la RDA devient progressivement un lieu de mémoire de l'histoire allemande. 373 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In German-speaking Europe, as in other parts of the western world, questions of religious identity have been discussed with sudden urgency since the attacks of '9/11'. Nowhere was this clearer than in the heated controversy over the building of a mosque in the city of Cologne, which is the subject of Michael Hofmann's contribution to this volume. Turkish Germans have also found themselves defined by the religious background of their parents. For different reasons German Jews have faced pressure to reconnect with a religion that their forbears cast off sometimes more than a century ago. At the same time religious belief among the nominally Christian majority has been in retreat. These changes have generated poetry, drama, and fiction as well as a number of films by both well-known and emerging authors and filmmakers. Their works sometimes reflect but more often challenge debates taking place in politics and the media. The essays in this volume explore a range of genres which engage with religion in contemporary Germany and Austria. They show that literature and film express nuances of feeling and attitude that are eclipsed in other, more immediately influential discourses. Discussion of these works is thus essential for an understanding of the role of religion in forming identity in contemporary multicultural German-speaking societies. This volume contains eight chapters in English and six in German. 252 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Through a collection of essays in metaphysics, epistemology and ethics, this book explores the evolution of the idea of the One and Many.Since Parmenides' dichotomy of One and Many, the One of the ancient cosmogonies has been reduced to a pole of our thought, a sterile identity which has been identified with truth but cannot bring forth nor give order to the Many. The author reflects on how the Parmenidean dichotomy has led, for many centuries after Parmenides, to the metaphysical attempts to reduce the Many to the One, causing unsolvable epistemological problems, and to the metaphysical dissolution of the One in the Many of time, causing the moral crisis of the West. Further, this study analyses the epistemic and spiritual impasse of the West and shows a possible solution to this problem: to unearth the forgotten dichotomy, the key to understand millenarian philosophical problems, such as consciousness, movement and causality, which are deadlocked because they all stem from the reduction of temporal phenomena within the framework of a rational thought which is unable to account for the non-identical. 239 pp. Englisch.

The essays gathered in this collection are not a direct record of the proceedings but pursue many of the themes raised by the participants. The contributors to the volume come from the fields of history, literary studies and cultural studies. From among the many sources that explore the representation of Patagonia, they have chosen to discuss a wide range of texts, dating from the eighteenth century to the twentieth century, including travelogues, diaries, maps, novels, autobiographies, letters and even a dictionary. The essays trace different experiences in order to illustrate the diversity of the region. This book makes a significant contribution to the study of the historical circumstances around the exploration and colonisation of Patagonia, as well as the subsequent cultural, political and economic outcomes. 267 pp. Englisch.

It examines selected novels by Witi Ihimaera and Patricia Grace in order to trace an ever-developing Maori identity that has changed considerably over three decades of the Maori novel. This book demonstrates that an investigation of the construction of identity in literature benefits from a close look at the importance of Maori mythology as well as associated cultural and individual memories. Indicating that Maori fiction has become what Homi Bhabha terms a third space, this book verifies the links between novel, myth and memory with the help of existing research in these areas in order to assess their importance for the reinterpretation of identity. The Maori novels that depict situations reflecting current issues are viewed as an experimental playground in which authors can explore a variety of solutions to tribal, societal and political issues. This study establishes the early novels as reinterpretations of the past and guides to the future, and characterises the more recent novels as representing a move towards empowerment and pioneering that has not yet come to a conclusion. 284 pp. Englisch.

It is also a struggle over ideas and deep-seated historical issues, still unresolved from the independence process, that both Robert Mugabe's ZANU PF regime and Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC are vying first to define and then to address. This book traces the role of politicians and public intellectuals in media, civil society and the academy in producing and disseminating a politically usable historical narrative concerning ideas about patriotism, race, land, human rights and sovereignty. It raises pressing questions about the role of contemporary African intellectuals in the making of democratic societies. In so doing the book adds a new and rich dimension to the study of African politics, which is often diluted by the neglect of ideas. 286 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Situated at the confluence of history, media and cultural studies, this book reconstructs the often deeply discordant and highly selective memories of the Holocaust in Italy in the postwar era. The author's core method is one of reception analysis, centred on the public responses to the many films and television programmes that have addressed the Holocaust from the 1940s to the present day. Tied to the heritage of Fascism, antifascism, and the Resistance, public memory of the Holocaust in Italy has changed greatly over the years. Self-acquitting myths of Italian innocence and victimhood, and universalising interpretations grounded in Catholicism and Communism, provided the initial frameworks for understanding the Holocaust. However, the last two decades have seen an increasing centrality of the Holocaust in memory culture but have also witnessed the establishment of a paradigm that relativises other fascist crimes and levels the differences between Fascism and antifascism. Working with the largest corpus yet established of Holocaust film and television in Italy, from the 1948 retelling of the Wandering Jew myth to Roberto Benigni's controversial Life Is Beautiful, from the American miniseries Holocaust to Perlasca: The Courage of a Just Man, Conflicts of Memory probes Italy's ongoing, if incomplete, process of coming to terms with this important aspect of its past. 296 pp. Englisch.

Today many indigenous people are still experiencing a colonial type of therapy that is rooted in power imbalances and a managed health care system. Through narrative, story, poetry and psychotherapy this book shows the importance of personal growth and informs the practice of being a 'good psychologist'. It asks the reader to consider how cross-cultural experiences influence professional psychology discourse and practices as well as to explore the relationships between dominant psychology systems and cultural enactments. 191 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Privatwirtschaft befindet sich seit langem mitten im Zeitalter digitaler Dienstleistungen. Um diese kostengünstiger anzubieten, werden Kunden befragt und interne Prozesse effizient aufeinander abgestimmt. Überträgt man diese Perspektive auf den öffentlichen Dienst, bietet sich derzeit ein anderes Bild. Oft fehlt eine Kunden- bzw. Serviceorientierung und man muss erst lernen, wie Verwaltung funktioniert, bevor deren Dienstleistung in Anspruch genommen werden kann. In dieser Arbeit wird anhand der Verwaltungsprozesse der Universität Mannheim gezeigt, mit welchen Maßnahmen diese optimiert werden können, sodass sie kundenorientiert und effizienter ablaufen. Dabei wird das Rationalisierungspotential mit Hilfe der Prozesssimulation und eines speziell darauf abgestimmten Kennzahlenmodells validiert. Ein ausgewähltes Fallbeispiel dient dem besseren Verständnis der verwendeten Optimierungsmethode. 136 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 2005, when John McGahern published his Memoir, he revealed for the first time in explicit detail the specific nature of the autobiographical dimension of his fiction, a dimension he had hitherto either denied or mystified. Taking Memoir as a paradigmatic work of memory, confession, and imaginative recovery, this book is a close reading of McGahern's novels that discovers his narrative poi sis in both the fiction and the memoir to be a single, continuous, and coherent mythopoeic project concealed within the career of a novelist writing ostensibly in the realist tradition of modern Irish fiction. McGahern's total body of work centres around the experiences of loss, memory, and imaginative recovery. To read his fiction as an art of memory is to recognize how he used story-telling to confront the extended grief and anger that blighted his early life and that shaped his sense of self and world. It is also to understand how he gradually, painfully and honestly wrote his way out of the darkness and despair of the early work into the luminous celebration of life and the world in his great last novel That They May Face the Rising Sun. 332 pp. Englisch.

Ihre Bereitstellung an den Bedarfsorten ist durch ein Leercontainermanagement sicherzustellen. Komplexität, Dynamik, Stochastizität sowie Flexibilitätsanforderungen kennzeichnen die Problematik und legen die Nutzung dezentraler Ansätze nahe. Dies erfordert die Koordination des Verhaltens der Akteure zu dem aus Sicht des Gesamtsystems optimalen Ergebnis durch den Mechanismus selbst. Die Vickrey-Auktion weist als Allokationsverfahren besondere Vorteile auf. Die ihr zugrunde liegenden Gedanken nutzte bereits Goethe bei der Vergabe von Verlagsrechten. Auf dieser Basis wird ein Mechanismus entwickelt, der die effiziente Allokation der Ressourcen - die optimale Zuordnung der verfügbaren Container auf die bestehenden Verwendungsoptionen - erzielt. 234 pp. Deutsch.
