Neuware -Kidworld contributes to an emerging field of childhood studies that challenges disciplinary boundaries, in such fields as early childhood education and developmental psychology, which are limited in their beliefs and relationships with younger human beings. One role of childhood studies is to recognize the historical-, political-, and even power-oriented contexts that construct childhood, giving voice to issues that have been previously ignored and disqualified. The authors of Kidworld employ their own diverse, global perspectives to reveal the existence of and problems with globalization and marketing of the universal, modernist child. Such questions as the following are addressed: How are market-driven motives influencing the lives of (poor) children How does the political climate of a nation affect children¿s cultural, linguistic, and educational rights Can more just representation for children be accomplished Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 236 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Celebrated for its ancient water wheels, the town of Hama is located on Syriäs longest river, the Orontes. Ottoman Hama was a stopover on the major north-south road of Syria as well as the center of a local economic zone of its own. Intertwined social networks linked townspeople to the peasants and pastoral nomads of Hamäs hinterland. By the early twentieth century a few elite and notable families had come to dominate the political and economic life of Hama and its outlying villages, setting the stage for the city¿s dramatic entry into Syrian national life during the French Mandate and post-colonial periods. Based principally on local judicial archives, this book is a social history of Hama during the last two centuries of Ottoman rule. It examines the social and economic structures that defined people¿s lives and that conditioned their participation in the historical changes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Dramatis personae include men and women, commoners and notables, merchants and artisans, and others who, taken together, represent a cross-section of a Middle Eastern society as they entered the world of global markets, European empires, and modern states. 156 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -One of the major issues surrounding the last Inter-governmental Conference (IGC) of the European Union (EU), the Amsterdam Treaty and the whole future of the EU in the period 1997 to 2005-7 has been that of enlargement. Enlargement is not a new phenomenon for the EEC/EU, but the next enlargements are generally regarded as qualitatively different because of the number of states and the challenge that their entry poses to both of them, the states and the Union. The book is framed within the research approach of the English School of International Relations on the enlargement of international society. It connects theoretical aspects with empirical facts and thereby illustrates the Mediterranean enlargement from the view of the entry candidates, the EU and the US. 218 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Polemical stupidity ¿ a critical concept drawn from Bakhtin ¿ denotes the strategic refusal to understand. It appears most familiarly in the character of the Fool (like Candide), who genuinely does not understand the world, thus unmasking its incoherence. But in literature it can cover too the stance of the narrator or author (who pretends to misunderstand). It also functions at the levels of genre and style, embracing parody and rewriting in general. It is a dialogic or open form of critical engagement. Though it can be found throughout Western literature, polemical stupidity is most richly characteristic of the writing of the French Enlightenment. This book suggests why, and traces its rise and fall as a discursive practice in the century from Pascal to Rousseau. Early chapters consider the concept itself, its emergence in Pascal¿s Lettres provinciales, worldliness and unworldliness, and the new writing of 1660-1700 (critical history to fairy tales). The main part of the book, on the age of Enlightenment itself, contains successive chapters on Regency theatre, Montesquieüs Lettres persanes, Marivaux, Voltaire, Diderot, and finally Rousseau who will not play. 336 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -One of the most remarkable features of Diderot¿s work is the refusal of closure in a large number of his texts which appears to leave philosophical, aesthetic or even narrative issues unresolved, and consequently invites a more active participation from the reader than more conventional works. Since it is in the nature of critical discourse to wish to answer questions, this aspect of the works has remained relatively unexplored, with some critics even choosing to ignore the questions asked by the endings in their efforts to give a specific and unambiguous meaning to texts that, in reality, seek to blur their meaning or even to avoid having one. This study addresses the problems posed by Diderot¿s endings directly, seeking through them to illuminate readings of the works as a whole. Hence it looks not just at the endings, but at what the endings can tell us about the complete texts, and how they are characteristic (or not) of the rest of the works. 338 pp. Englisch.

Dies wird auch in der Diskussion über die Zulässigkeit von Sterbehilfe ¿ insbesondere bei Neugeborenen ¿ immer wieder deutlich. Bei dieser sogenannten Früheuthanasie besteht die eigentliche Problematik vor allem in der Frage nach einer ärztlichen Verpflichtung, geistig oder körperlich schwerstbehinderte Neugeborene oder extrem schwache Frühgeburten in jedem Fall einer medizinischen Behandlung zu unterziehen. Wer trifft diese Entscheidung und ab welchem Zeitpunkt ist eine sichere Diagnose möglich Gelten für Neugeborene die gleichen Grundsätze wie für Erwachsene Mit diesen und anderen Fragen beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit und versucht, Lösungsansätze aus rechtlicher und ethischer Sicht zu finden. 214 pp. Deutsch.

Clinton's able marshaling of images, which allowed him to retain popularity and position when faced with compelling obstacles, marks him as the preeminent figure in a fluid and fluctuating era of image-politics. Constructing Clinton: Hyperreality & Presidential Image-Making in Postmodern Politics pays particular attention to the collection of disparate, sometimes connected, often random images that create a site of political meaning we know as 'Bill Clinton, former president of the United States.' Through analyses of unique image texts - including The Man from Hope, The War Room, Primary Colors, MTV's Biorhythms, and PBS' The American President - Constructing Clinton focuses on the image of Bill Clinton as it was defined by and trapped in the hyperreality so characteristic of contemporary presidential politics. 245 pp. Englisch.

However, recent and consistent inclusion in the mainstream film industry of Hollywood suggests a significant change in its status. Despite a tendency to posit the 'genre' as 'other' it is not a separate cinema. Contemporary African American cinema contextualizes its forms and themes within the American film tradition. With crossover success and critical acclaim, it became clear by 1991 that profit would be a motive for expansion, and that these films had established profound connections not only with Black audiences and agendas but within a diverse mainstream audience as well. Contemporary African American cinema continues to sustain itself while informing, mediating, challenging, and entertaining American audiences. 137 pp. Englisch.

Son expression accomplie est l'impératif de Kant qui, indépendant de la raison pure spéculative, non seulement stipule la liberté de la volonté face au déterminisme scientifique mais constitue aussi un défi à la vérité.Toutefois, cette autonomie morale de l'individu n'apporte plus la détermination qui caractérisait la théogonie hégélienne, l' hybris nietzschéen et le silence respectueux avec lequel Wittgenstein répondait à l'indicible.La liberté construit-elle le règne de l'expérimentation perpétuelle Or, si la liberté d'opinion et la priorité des procédures consensuelles définissent la démocratie moderne, selon les thèses de l'École de Francfort, le fondement de l'éthique s'inscrit désormais dans le refus de tout fondement intellectuel: il n'y a plus d'éthique indépendante de la politique qui permette de juger cette dernière - tout est devenu politique .Néanmoins, pour qu'il y ait vraie liberté, le rapport avec l'Autre doit être consciemment évalué car la liberté ne consiste pas à faire ce que l'on veut (c'est-à-dire à suivre ses pulsions ou le conditionnement social) mais à vouloir ce que l'on fait . L'auteur propose un survol historique raisonné qui aborde les questions essentielles de l'éthique politique du temps présent. 200 pp. Französisch.

Diverse Selektionsimpulse zeigen dabei zwischen Antike, mittelalterlichem Europa, feudalem Repräsentationskult in Japan wie im Barock, aber auch in dessen Überwindung in der Spätaufklärung bis zum Schreber- und Hotelgarten, wie Gartenkultur beiträgt zur anthropologischen Symbolik - auch in Gedicht und Roman. Ihre Beziehungs- und Blickperspektiven trugen dem Kolonialismus des 19. Jahrhunderts die Selbstillusion ein, kolonisierte Regionen als Domestikationsräume für 'die Wilden' zu verstehen.A variety of research - like history of mentality, literature, architecture, and colonialism, research on the reception of Japan, social history, and comparative jurisprudence - contributes to understanding the garden as a result of the social and ideological meeting of nature and men. Cultivation of gardens builds up an anthropological symbolism from antique to modern times - as in feudal representations in Japan and European Baroque and its overcoming during the enlightenment and the times of social reforms, including novels and poems. Colonialism of the 19th century had the illusory opinion that colonisation by gardens would bring high cultural civilisation to regions of savagery. 252 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.

Guided by a personalistic-dialogical conception of myth, the author elaborates a theory of literary mythopoesis and develops a method of studying mythopoetic processes on different levels of meaning in a work of literature. As a result, mythopoesis is revealed as one of the fundamental mechanisms of producing a complex of structures, while mythopoetic criticism functions as a dialogue between different cultures thus documenting the relationship between ethics and aesthetics in literature. 236 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The papers contained in this collection represent a cross-section of research and teaching interests at the turn of the millennium. The first section of the book concentrates on cinema studies, from the earliest reception of film to a focus on the cinema of the GDR. These papers show the importance of cinema studies in many German departments today. The inclusiveness of German cultural studies owes a great deal to Weimar theorists such as Walter Benjamin, who is also represented here in a study of his relationship to Jewish scholarship. A serious - though not over-earnest - analysis of German popular music since 1945 earns a place among these essays alongside a paper on the 'higher' cultural form of the novel, whose 1990s manifestations are reviewed here. Other contributions engage with equally important and topical Germanistic concerns: new and imaginative approaches to language teaching and learning. 197 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book documents the failed attempt of successive social studies curriculum to create a sustainable mythic structure of Canadian identity, and it situates teachers in the uneasy space between the modernist concepts of national identity prescribed in the curriculum and the lived world of the classrooms they experience daily. In The Death of the Good Canadian, George H. Richardson endeavors to represent the ambivalence of curriculum «delivery» in an era when there is frequently a striking dissonance between the rigid boundaries that the modernist curriculum creates between «national self» and «other,» and the more hybrid and problematic sense of national identity formation as an ongoing process of the articulation of cultural difference, which is suggested by the plural classrooms of the twenty-first century.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 182 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book is a collection of stories about teaching and learning in the liberal arts classroom, written by a Quaker who is a part-time professor of American literature and gender studies at a small, historically Quaker, liberal arts college for women outside of Philadelphia. The author reflects on the point and purpose of education in such a space, with a particular concern for the religious and interactive dimensions of the process. This book includes multiple accounts by students and colleagues, reflecting on their own experiences of teaching and learning and acknowledges the powers and limits of storytelling as a means of making sense of what happens in the college classroom.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 230 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Dancing the Data and its interrelated CD-ROM, Dancing the Data Too, show the ways in which educational research and the visual and performing arts can embrace each other to engender a culture of feeling and meaning and in so doing evoke new ways of knowing, learning, and teaching. It draws on the artistic mediums of dance, collage, poetry, music, and drama and invites the reader to engage with the educational research endeavors of the contributors as they seek to move beyond the traditions of established approaches to represent and reflect on their work in artistic forms. Dancing the Data seeks to open up conversational beginnings with teachers, researchers, and students, and to tempt them to discuss and reflect on the ways in which established methodological and pedagogical boundaries might be crossed and new ways of seeing and doing valued and explored.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 214 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book presents a broad, international discussion of military training and education problems. It uses the concept of Military Pedagogy to cover the full range of this discussion. As shown by the holistic articles at the beginning of the book, Military Pedagogy is viewed very differently by different authors depending on their national and individual backgrounds. Many of the articles use different subject matters to provide specific examples that, considered as a whole, show the great variety of tasks performed by Military Pedagogy. The two approaches, holistic on the one hand and detailed on the other, give the reader a comprehensive impression of what Military Pedagogy can be. Simultaneously, the specifically prescriptive articles provide many ideas for use by military training and education specialists. In this way, the book serves both theorists and practitioners. The international scope of the book is indicated by the list of authors who come from 10 different countries. The book also makes a significant contribution to improving the interoperability of Armed Forces. 276 pp. Englisch.
