    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Der Anschlag auf die Olympischen Spiele im Jahr 1972 in München rief weltweites Entsetzen und schwere außenpolitische Turbulenzen hervor. Matthias Dahlke geht anhand bislang größtenteils unerschlossener Quellen der Frage nach, wie sich die damalige politische Führung der Bundesrepublik der Herausforderung des internationalen Terrorismus stellte. Die Einsicht in Akten der beteiligten Ministerien sowie in private Unterlagen führender Politiker ermöglicht dabei eine detaillierte Nachzeichnung der Ereignisse. Auf dieser Basis wird die Anti-Terror-Politik der Bundesregierung einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. Innen- und außenpolitische Maßnahmen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung, die durch eine Analyse der ¿öffentlichen Meinung¿ ergänzt wird. Das Buch eröffnet unkonventionelle Perspektiven auf das Thema ¿ etwa durch die Einbeziehung der ¿mental maps¿. So entsteht ein facettenreiches, multidimensionales Bild der politischen Reaktionen auf die Anschläge.Die Arbeit wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Droysen-Preis der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Reinventing Government and modernizing public administration is an important issue in public policy. There is a variety of reform strategies for achieving sustainable development and efficiency of public authorities, but until now, the proposed reforms have not been very successful. It is not surprising that meanwhile, trust in New Public Management partially vanished. Instead of having faith in the «economization» of public management, the question of values arises. In this book, the necessary change towards a Public Value Management (as a counter-movement in Europe against the merely economical way of modernizing public administration) is explained and reflected.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -An influential forerunner of French Existentialism, the Russian-born thinker Lev Shestov (1866-1938) elaborated a radical critique of rationalist knowledge and ethics from the point of view of individual human existence. Best known for his ground-breaking comparative studies of Tolstoy and Nietzsche, and of Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, Shestov defined his conception as the ¿philosophy of tragedy¿. Shestov¿s philosophical hermeneutics of the literary work of art was later developed and disseminated through the writings of his disciple, the Romanian-born Benjamin Fondane (1898-1944), who was also a poet, filmmaker and playwright. The two authors provided one of the earliest and most consistent critical accounts of Husserlian phenomenology in France. ¿The philosophy of tragedy¿ and its associated notions of ¿revolt¿ and existential truth had a lasting impact on a number of prominent writers and philosophers including Georges Bataille, André Gide, André Malraux, Albert Camus and Emmanuel Lévinas.Précurseur influent de l¿Existentialisme, le philosophe d¿origine russe, Léon Chestov a élaboré une critique radicale de la connaissance rationnelle et de l¿éthique du point de vue de l¿existence individuelle. Connu en particulier pour l¿originalité de ses études comparatives sur Tolstoi et Nietzsche, et sur Dostoïevski et Nietzsche, Chestov a défini sa conception comme une ¿philosophie de la tragédie¿. L¿herméneutique philosophique de l¿¿uvre littéraire chez Chestov a été ultérieurement developpée et disséminée à travers les écrits de son disciple d¿origine roumaine, Benjamin Fondane, philosophe, mais aussi poète, cinéaste et homme de théâtre. Les deux auteurs ont élaboré une des premières et des plus cohérentes critiques de la phénoménologie d¿Husserl en France. La « philosophie de la tragédie » et les notions qui y sont associées, en particulier celle de « révolte » et de vérité existentielle, ont exercé une influence durable sur nombre d¿écrivains et des philosophes réputés, dont Georges Bataille, André Gide, André Malraux, Albert Camus et Emmanuel Lévinas. 300 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In Relations, AnnKatrin Jonsson develops a new understanding of ethics and subjectivity within high modernism. The author analyzes Joyce¿s Ulysses, Woolf¿s The Waves, and Barnes¿s Nightwood as narratives that depict a subject turning towards the other and the world, a movement that seriously questions the sovereignty of the subject as cogito, instead opening up for otherness, excess, and indeterminacy.The author points to convergences between a phenomenological manner of thinking found in modernist literature and the notion of an ethics and an ethical subjectivity, a subject who exists in an inescapable relation with the world. As the novels acknowledge otherness, there is a rebound effect on the narrative, its structure and style; otherness transforms the narrative itself. In this way, Ulysses, The Waves, and Nightwood indicate a desire to escape from a notion of the subject that contains and controls the world and the other.By indicating ways in which new conceptions of ethics are made possible within modernism, the author also shows that there are, within modernism, both literary and philosophical texts whose understanding and representation of subjectivity already express and establish crucial aspects of the discourse on ¿ethics¿ and ¿ethical subjectivity¿ that characterize recent continental philosophy and cultural theory. 212 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book traces the significance that the modulations of sensory perception have had for thinking about aesthetics and art in the last two and a half centuries. Beyond a discussion of the philosophical significance of beauty, or of the puzzle of aesthetic representation, aesthetics is conceived broadly as a means of describing our relationship to the world in terms of the habits of perception, and indeed the overturning of these habits, as in the modernist aesthetic of defamiliarisation. In the light of the ideas of the contemporary German aesthetic theorist, Wolfgang Welsch, this book offers the first discussion of the theory and practice of art that operates at the poles of perception: sensory experience that exceeds conceptual organisation, and the imperceptible, or what Welsch calls the ¿anaesthetic¿. These seemingly opposite poles have many parallels: a comparable indeterminacy of meaning and a similar challenge to representation, but also a shared focus on the habits and modulations of sensory perception and a similar interrogation of the boundary between art and that which surrounds it. The author applies the categories discussed to art practice, in particular to the theatre of Peter Handke, Samuel Beckett and Heiner Müller. 286 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -En Belgique francophone, les décennies d¿après-guerre voient plusieurs groupes d¿écrivains relayer le débat sur le « devoir d¿engagement » qui traverse les milieux intellectuels en France. Quels sont les choix défendus par les écrivains belges Et qüest-ce qui explique le silence qui, dans l¿historiographie littéraire actuelle, entoure ces auteurs et ces ¿uvres Deux figures d¿écrivains se détachent : Charles Paron et David Scheinert qui, dans l¿immédiat après-guerre, franchissent la porte des maisons d¿édition parisiennes. C¿est cependant à partir du champ littéraire belge, dans la revue politico-culturelle Les Aubes (1953-1957), que les deux auteurs formulent un projet littéraire progressiste où se confondent ouverture internationale et souci des traditions culturelles nationales. L¿auteure analyse, en plus de ce projet, le parcours littéraire des deux auteurs et propose une réévaluation de quelques ¿uvres marquantes.Cet ouvrage, nourri de l¿apport des modèles sociologiques à l¿histoire littéraire, cherche donc à démêler les enjeux des conceptions littéraires rivales qui opposent écrivains communistes, socialistes et compagnons de route. De ces affrontements, on verra se dessiner des convergences et des divergences, des alliances et des ruptures ; mais aussi, au sein du champ littéraire belge, une véritable composante « progressiste » qui n¿avait jamais été étudiée en tant que telle. 314 pp. Französisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This study develops the thesis that the Epistle to the Hebrews uses temporal oppositions as an important literary and theological device within its discourse. It provides a detailed analysis on the lexical field of time and the temporal lines of sense in the Epistle. In addition to the traditional historical-literary methods, the author applies elements from modern linguistics, reader-response theory, and hermeneutics. By using temporal contrasts, this Epistle obtains a clear delineation of the present eschatological status of the Christian community, and creates a forceful exhortation to live according to our stance in history. 316 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage comble manifestement une lacune historiographique : si les études sur les partis identifiés et structurés de gauche ou de droite abondent, il en va tout autrement pour les partis centristes.Le centrisme s¿identifie très souvent au libéralisme politique, parce que les deux pensées ont en commun de s¿être définies en opposition aux extrêmes. Le centrisme est, par ailleurs, profondément réformiste, ce qui ne plaît guère dans une France où prévaut plutôt la culture de conflit. De surcroît, la culture politique française, marquée par le clivage droite-gauche, ne reconnaît pas ce qui ne peut être classé de l¿un ou l¿autre côté.À partir de l¿exemple français, donc, où le centre fut souvent en situation d¿échec, cette étude affirme sa dimension résolument comparatiste. Qüen est-il du centrisme dans d¿autres pays européens où il existe une culture libérale ou démocrate-chrétienne mieux enracinée qüen France Quelle est la structure de l¿offre politique de pays dans lesquels les partis socialistes ont fait le choix du réformisme et proposent le social-libéralisme, comme l¿Allemagne ou la Grande-Bretagne Ainsi, centre et centrisme bouleversent la bipolarité structurante des grands systèmes européens. Grâce à cet ouvrage, l¿on découvre à quel point le problème des définitions, du repérage des moments centristes, de l¿identification des familles et des doctrines centristes prend tout son sens dans une perspective européenne. 292 pp. Französisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Hans-Jochen Gamm hat wie kaum ein anderer die deutsche Pädagogik seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mit geprägt. Unter den deutschen Erziehungswissenschaftlern blieb er vor allem darin singulär, dass er sich rückhaltlos, unter Einschluss der eigenen Person, über ein halbes Jahrhundert lang der nazistischen Vergangenheit gestellt, sie in vielfältigen Facetten reflektiert, auf Ursachen und Konsequenzen hin bedacht, nicht zuletzt auf dieser Basis eine materialistische, den Widerspruch von Bildung und Herrschaft bearbeitende Allgemeine Pädagogik entwickelt hat. Dieser Band analysiert wesentliche Dimensionen und Kontexte seines Werkes unter verschiedenen Aspekten und bietet damit sowohl einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erziehungsgeschichte nach 1945 in beiden deutschen Staaten als auch Grundlagen und Perspektiven für eine kritische Pädagogik unter den aktuellen Bedingungen von Neoliberalismus und Globalisierung. 468 pp. Deutsch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Diese soziolinguistische Untersuchung setzt sich mit aktuellen gesprächsanalytischen Theorien und dem doing-gender Ansatz im Sinne der Grounded Theory auseinander. Anhand der detaillierten Analyse von Interviews und teilnehmenden Beobachtungen in Tehran (Iran), belegt die Autorin im Bereich der verbalen, nonverbalen und paraverbalen Kommunikation unterschiedliche Strukturen von Dominanz, die nicht ausschließlich als Merkmal für ein Geschlecht zu verstehen sind. Durch diese multiperspektivische und kontextadäquate Betrachtung von Gesprächssituationen wird das Geschlechterbild als einseitig festlegbares auch interkulturell in Frage gestellt. Es werden Forschungsperspektiven aufgezeigt, die Wege aus der bisherigen Dichotomie und Differenzorientiertheit für die linguistische Genderforschung anbieten. Die Arbeit stellt zudem erweiterte methodische Instrumente für die Analyse, die Transparenz von Transkriptionen und Filmdaten besonders durch die paritätische Untersuchung verbaler, non- und paraverbaler Gesprächsbereiche zur Verfügung.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection brings into dialogue authors from a range of disciplines and perspectives to address the thorny question of how to balance the demands of «democratic dialogue» with the reality of a world in which each voice does not carry equal weight. Should rules be in place, for example, that correct for such imbalances by privileging some voices or muting others Should separate spaces be created for traditionally disadvantaged groups to speak only among themselves Is democratic dialogue in an inclusive sense even a possibility in a world divided by multiple dimensions of power and privilege Leading theorists from several countries share a concern for social justice and present radically different interpretations of what democracy means for educational practice. In a format unusual for such collections, the essays speak directly to each other about significant moral, philosophical, and practical differences regarding how to effectively engage students as critical participants in classrooms fraught with power and difference. The authors draw from philosophy, critical race theory, sociology, feminist, and poststructural studies to address topics including hate speech, freedom of expression, speech codes, the meanings of silence, conceptions of voice and agency, and «political correctness». They explore honestly and self-critically the troubling and disturbing dimensions of speech and silence that situate the classroom as a volatile microcosm of contemporary political contradictions. 165 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many American educators are all too familiar with disengaged students, disenfranchised teachers, sanitized and irrelevant curricula, inadequate support for the neediest schools and students, and the tyranny of standardizing testing. This text invites teachers and would-be teachers unhappy with such conditions to consider becoming critical educators - professionals dedicated to creating schools that genuinely provide equal opportunity for all children. Assuming little or no background in critical theory, chapters address several essential questions to help readers develop the understanding and resolve necessary to become change agents. Why do critical theorists say that education is always political How do traditional and critical agendas for schools differ Which agenda benefits whose children What classroom and policy changes does critical practice require What risks must change agents accept Resources point readers toward opportunities to deepen their understanding beyond the limits of these pages. 170 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -If married in church, medieval women vowed before God and their husbands to be 'bonoure and buxum', that is, meek and obedient in bed and at table. This book is a study of wives in a variety of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century romance, fabliaux, cycle drama, life-writing, lyrics and hagiography. The volume examines key moments that defined life as a married woman: her eligibility to become a wife, the wedding ceremony, her conjugal rights and duties, childbirth and her contribution to the family economy. The book explores the way in which the literary representation of wives is in dialogue with discourses that strove to construct and regulate the role of 'wife'; canon and secular law, marriage liturgy, medical treatises on the female body, sermons, manuals of spiritual instruction, biblical paradigms, conduct books and misogamous writings. Moreover, the volume examines the possibilities for subversion of these paradigms by listening to literary wives speak both within and against these discourses. Real women's attitudes, and strategies of subversion, are woven into the volume throughout, as recorded in church and manorial court records, in their wills and in their writing. 239 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the relation of image and language as well as the relation of ethics and aesthetics through a discussion of the positions of Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein.In the Tractatus Wittgenstein pursues the idea that the image can show what language cannot express and defends an aesthetic unity of ethics and aesthetics. Is he right Is there not much to be said in favour of the opposite position, represented by Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author Judge William (in Either/Or ) William criticizes the image and argues in favour of language and of an ethical unity of aesthetics and ethics. William shows that the word has a decisive surplus when compared to the image. However, this position has its shortcomings too: language is not the only place of authentic communication.Looking for an alternative to 'logoclasm' (the early Wittgenstein) and 'iconoclasm' (William), Zijlstra explores Wittgenstein's later work and Kierkegaard's oeuvre as a whole and presents a new way of thinking about the relation of ethics and aesthetics. 188 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book deals with the identification of the aggressor state under International Law. This issue raises a deceptively easy question, that is, how does one distinguish the aggressor state from the victim state in situations involving the unilateral use of force In a straightforward situation where state A attacks state B without any provocation, it is clear that state A is the aggressor. However, confusion begins to arise when state A first attacks state B as a form of 'anticipatory' self-defence; or when state A first attacks state B as a form of 'pre-emptive' self-defence; or when state A attacks state B in order to prevent state B from committing gross human rights atrocities against its own nationals. In all of these latter situations, the current rules are unclear and therefore either make it impossible to distinguish between the aggressor state and the victim state or give the aggressor state an unfair advantage over the victim state. This book utilizes general principles of Criminal Law in an attempt to tackle these questions and ultimately to devise a solution for distinguishing between the aggressor and the victim state regardless of the circumstances. Attention has also been given to the field of international relations. 211 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Georges Pompidou n'appartient pas au panthéon des fondateurs de régime et n'occupe donc pas une place de choix dans l'histoire constitutionnelle de la France. Pourtant, succéder au très charismatique fondateur de la V e République, Charles de Gaulle, était un véritable défi.En accédant à la présidence de la République en 1969, le gaulliste Georges Pompidou entendait assumer pleinement l'héritage constitutionnel du général de Gaulle et l'enraciner dans la tradition politique française. Mais il savait également qu'il devrait l'adapter aux temps nouveaux et qu'il lui faudrait opérer en ce sens ce que Jean Charlot qualifiait de passage du ' gaullisme héroïque et gaullien au gaullisme quotidien et pompidolien '.Les ajustements apportés à la pratique des institutions par le second Président de la V e République furent aussi largement tributaires de sa personnalité et de sa science politique, et au premier chef de son expérience de Premier ministre du général de Gaulle, pendant plus de six ans. ' Car, en définitive - écrivait Georges Pompidou -, les institutions sont ce que les hommes les font '.En mettant en lumière et en commentant une sélection unique d'écrits, de discours et d'interviews de Georges Pompidou de 1962 à 1974, cet ouvrage retrace avec précision la conception et la pratique des institutions de ce dernier, de Matignon à l'Élysée. 286 pp. Französisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Theory of Film Music strives to explain how music functions in film, how it is perceived by viewers, and which meanings and values it represents in the dramaturgy of a film work. The book points out the scope of expressive potentials of music in film and arranges them in systems. It draws upon the knowledge of psychology of perception, acoustics, aesthetics of music and film, and it explains film music through concepts, and terms of semiotics. It is concerned with music in relation to film space and time, music's incorporation in film montage, and music's impressiveness in relation to the graphic nature of film pictures. It points out the expression and symbolism of individual historical and genre types of music. Trying to provide a more vivid account of the extent of theoretically outlined propositions, the book offers more than 200 examples of verbal description of certain moments in films ranging from the beginnings of the sound film up to the present. They also manifest typical creative tendencies in the history of film music. The book is supplemented with score excerpts, analyses, photographs, and registers. 191 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In times of constantly changing tax parameters and rising taxes and duties, the German tax structure is more and more perceived as disadvantageous. In searching for - legal - solutions to avoid domestic taxation, company owners not only move production sites out of the country, but also transfer their residence to a foreign country with lower taxes. There is an increasing demand for a comprehensive analysis which can, however, only be made properly on a country-to-country basis. Any transfer of residence must be regarded as an extraordinary and complex instrument of international tax management requiring the involvement of different legal and taxation systems. This book aims at examining the possibilities of international tax management by transfer of residence. From the German point of view, transfer of residence also includes the planned avoidance or reduction of German taxes. The author presents the aspects of tax management relevant to transferring residence from Germany to Austria, respectively from Germany to the Slovakian Republic.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 136 pp. Englisch.
