Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Schon seit der Entdeckung von «Gamsons Law» 1961 konzentriert sich die Koalitionsforschung auf die Verteilung von Ämtern zwischen Regierungsparteien. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die bisher wenig beachtete Verteilung von politischen Inhalten. Die Autorin misst Policy Payoffs als ideologische Distanzen zwischen Wahlprogrammen und Koalitionsverträgen politischer Parteien mithilfe der Textanalysemethode Wordscores. Ihre Analyse zeigt, dass die Verteilung von Policies anderen Regeln folgt als die Verteilung von Portfolios.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Communication and Political Crisis explores the role of the global media in a period of intensifying geopolitical conflict. Through case studies drawn from domestic and international political crises such as the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, leading media scholar Brian McNair argues that the digitized, globalized public sphere now confronted by all political actors has produced new opportunities for social progress and democratic reform, as well as new channels for state propaganda and terrorist spectaculars such as those performed by the Islamic State and Al Qaeda. In this major work, McNair argues that the role of digital communication will be crucial in determining the outcome of pressing global issues such as the future of feminism and gay rights, freedom of speech and media, and democracy itself.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Le présent ouvrage est un recueil d¿articles de chercheurs internationaux sur l¿apport à l¿ontologie du phénoménologue polonais Roman Ingarden.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, terrorism as a literary theme has flourished in Australian literature. This book examines how terrorism as a theme has been represented in five exemplary novels and elaborates a distinctively Australian approach to the topic. The novels taken into consideration focus on strategies of fictionalisation rather than the actual violence or the threat of it. By doing so, the author argues, Australian literature provides a powerful antidote to the widespread fear of a terrorist attack. Without competing with media and political sciences, this book underlines the contribution literary studies can make to the expanding field of terrorism research. 172 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, la diplomatie est à réinventer. Un nouvel ordre international émerge au sein duquel juristes internationaux, journalistes, banquiers d¿affaires et autres experts concurrencent désormais les diplomates de métier. De nouvelles arènes diplomatiques apparaissent, à l¿instar de la Société des Nations, ancêtre des organisations multilatérales actuelles. À travers les dix études de cas présentées ici, le continent européen apparaît comme un terrain propice à l¿invention de pratiques diplomatiques nouvelles tout au long du XXe siècle. Cet ouvrage collectif constitue les actes du colloque international de l¿association RICHIE sur les « sociabililités, réseaux et pratiques diplomatiques en Europe de 1919 à nos jours » tenues à Bruxelles, les 20 et 21 mars 2015.After the First World War, reshaping the art of diplomacy is a necessity. International lawyers, merchant bankers, academics, journalists and senior officials became key-figures of a new International order in which the diplomats have lost their monopoly over foreign affairs. New diplomatic arenas emerged such as the League of Nations, the precursor of today¿s multilateral organizations. In that series of ten case studies, the European continent appears as a fertile ground where new diplomatic practices have emerged along the whole 20th century. This book brings together the edited proceedings of the RICHIE International Conference organized in Brussels on 20 and 21 March 2015, under the title «Networks, Dynamics of Socialization and Practices in European Diplomacy since 1919».Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 232 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Within the growing field of television studies, little work has yet been done on the Irish context. This volume aims to fill this gap by offering new and compelling studies of contemporary Irish TV series. Fictional TV series, which constitute an autonomous genre within the broader cultural phenomenon of TV broadcasting, are explored here as paradigmatic representations of Irish popular culture. This book investigates the vast number of series produced in Ireland over the past two decades, focusing on their cultural impact at a time when American and British dominance have led many critics and viewers to underestimate the significance of Irish programming. The essays collected here reveal a distinctly Irish culture of TV fiction series, in both the Irish and English languages, and examine some of its finest examples, from Father Ted to Love/Hate and Sin Scéal Eile.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 230 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Les sites de production de pétrole ne correspondant pas la plupart du temps aux lieux de consommation, le pétrole fut dès l¿origine un produit transporté sur de longues distances, soit par voie maritime, soit par oléoducs.Parce que les routes du pétrole (et de plus en plus souvent du gaz) ne sont pas immuables et que leur tracé est déterminé par l¿essor économique, les tensions géopolitiques et les progrès des techniques, elles sont un excellent baromètre de l¿activité, de l¿inventivité et des relations internationales.Cet ouvrage, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire (historiens, géographes, géopoliticiens, décideurs, ingénieurs¿), tâche d¿en comprendre les enjeux et les conséquences sur les problématiques contemporaines.Oil production sites do not correspond to the areas of consumption in the majority of cases, as of the outset oil was a product transported over long distances, either by maritime routes or by pipelines.The oil routes (and natural gas routes) are not immutable, and their locations are determined by economic vigor, geopolitical tensions and technical progress. So, they have been the heart and the barometer of economic, technical and geopolitical rhythms of the planet.This book, in a multidisciplinary perspective (historians, geographers, geopoliticians, decision-makers, engineers, ¿) tries to explain issues and consequences of oil routes on contemporary issues.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 394 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book is an account of protests organized by trade unions from the late socialism to the 21 century. It uses protest event analysis and mass surveys to examine the impact of trade unions on institutions before and after systemic change. Social protest in the post-war Poland was primarily a working-class phenomenon. Unionized employees were able to influence transformation processes in many ways: directly in enterprises, politically via their representatives in parties, and indirectly by creating a public opinion sympathetic with their goals. Individual chapters contain theoretical assumptions, an overview of employee protest under state socialism, the dynamics of trade union membership, and a detailed description of trade union protest activities after systemic change. A comparison between protest dynamics in Poland and in Hungary serves as illustration of legacies of negotiated transition on social mobilization. 206 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The author examines social mobility in the enlarged EU by analysing the work sequences of 1865 movers and stayers in Poland. Using indicators of upward and downward social mobility, she explores the role of migration in careers. Her research shows that migration adds dynamism to work paths and contributes to the improvement of people¿s working lives. It also suggests that agency and reflexivity guide the acquisition of tacit skills during migration, resulting in various patterns of social mobility. 242 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Modernism and pessimism seem to go hand in hand. What are the sources of the historical pessimism we see in the legions of writers and thinkers over the past three centuries who saw modern civilization as degenerate and despicable, happily marching to its own doom Why did so many educated and intelligent people despise the innovations that were the work of their contemporaries This book focuses on English and Polish thought during the 19 and early 20 centuries, a time of relative political stability and great success in science and industry, when many nevertheless voiced concern that Europe is moving in the wrong direction, to its own destruction. After WWI, these warnings became even more dire and have left their mark on the European culture of our times. 208 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The aim of this edited volume is to bring back multilateralism in global governance research by going beyond the state-centric and formal models of multilateralism of the 1990s and deeper into the informal private agents and structures of global governance. The volume is situated within the third generation scholarly research tying together disparate efforts from various disciplines, such as International Relations, Public Administration, International Law and International Political Economy under the overarching theme of multilateralism approached from the three different angles: normative dimensions of global governance, issue-areas, such as migration and international trade, as well as the limits of multilateralism. 270 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book maps the entire development of Comenius¿s considerations on man, from his earliest writings to his philosophical masterwork. Although this book primarily offers an analysis and description of the conception of man in Comenius¿s work, it may also serve the reader as a more general introduction to his philosophical conception. The author shows that, in spite of the fact that Comenius has received no small amount of academic attention, funded studies or monographs in English language remain in single figures. Thus, a range of Comenius¿s remarkable ideas are still unknown to the wider public. 234 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -During the late 1920s and the 1930s, the Italian government sought various commercial and politically oriented solutions to cope with the advent of new sound technologies in cinema. The translation of foreign-language films became a recurrent topic of ongoing debates surrounding the use of the Italian language, the rebirth of the national film industry and cinemäs mass popularity.Through the analysis of state records and the film trade press, The Politics of Dubbing explores the industrial, ideological and cultural factors that played a role in the government¿s support for dubbing. The book outlines the evolution of film censorship regulation in Italy and its interplay with film translation practices, discusses the reactions of Mussolini¿s administration to early Italian-language talkies produced abroad and documents the state¿s role in initiating and encouraging Italians¿ habit of watching dubbed films.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Most theories of radicalization focus on the birth of antidemocratic ideas, semantics, behavior patterns and organizations. However, such focus is one-sided: radicalization is as much about the forgetting of historical lessons and the weakening of a democratic consensus, as the spreading of populist ideas. A case study of public and private processes of memory transmission in Hungary reveals how the ambiguous relation to modernization affects political formation: the failures provoke populist reactions, while the successes result in political indifference. The combination of these two political cultures creates a dangerous compound including both the opportunity for the birth of antidemocratic semantics and their ignorance. The author analyzes the potential of such «incubation of radicalism» on a European survey. 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Navid Kermani ¿ author, journalist and academic ¿ is one of the most prominent public intellectuals in Germany today. Kermani has been at the forefront of recent debates about Islam and its role in Germany¿s political, social and cultural life. Instead of emphasizing the differences between ethnic affiliations and religious beliefs, Kermani questions the Western notion of a clear dividing line between Islam, Christianity and Judaism, highlighting instead their affinities. In addition to his political essays, Kermani¿s travel journalism introduces western audiences to diverse Muslim societies in the world and his fiction provides accessible meditations on first love, contemporary music, death and friendship. This is the first volume of criticism in English dedicated to Kermani¿s varied work. The book features an extensive interview with the author, a reproduction in German and English of Kermani¿s famous 2014 Bundestag speech and a collection of critical essays on Kermani¿s writing. The essays, by major scholars in the field, cover issues such as gender, religion, cosmopolitanism, mystical experiences, and the power of the liberal arts in a time of neoliberal distraction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 236 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book addresses the concept and forms of dissemination in political communication and news media. It studies the new age of dissemination in global communication manifested in a new relationship between political communication and media systems.The broad aim of this study is to investigate the «media reality» of political communication in this new age. Working within the sphere of political communication and interconnected media systems, the study examines how the information in news source texts and responses to them are recontextualised and disseminated worldwide and fed back again through recursive communication. Specifically, this work also considers the ways in which the aims of the political phenomenon of Hezbollah are disseminated and connected across various news media outlets. In particular, the process of recursive dissemination of communication is analysed in three news media outlets, namely Al-Jazeera, the BBC, and CNN.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 294 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The author presents a close reading of Martin Luther¿s lectures on Galatians (1531) and Genesis (1535¿1545). It reveals that Luther employed his unique understanding of Law and Gospel to inculcate in his students the understanding and desire to faithfully live out their callings in the vocations to which God had appointed them. He provided resources to do the same in the parishes they were to serve. Though in recent years the field of Luther studies has begun to appreciate the invaluable pastoral insights of this experienced master of pastors, the research has focused primarily on Luther¿s early works. Moreover, little attention has been given to exploring Luther¿s message as he cultivated an upcoming generation of pastors in his classroom. This work seeks to address this lacuna. 230 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Turkey is often visualized as a modern nation-state having a perfect balance of Eastern and Western cultural mores and traditions within dominant ideological constructions and representations, but on closer inspection, one can detect conflicts and contradictions within various texts ¿ particularly in regards to depictions of gender and sexual identity.Upon its foundation as a nation, Turkey embarked on a state-centered, elite-driven path toward modernization and Westernization while also seeking to produce a monolithic culture. At the time, it was widely believed that Turkey could not rank among modern, Western countries without the emancipation of women. As a result of the founding of the Republic and Turkey¿s quest for a unified culture, women were granted a number of legal rights and enjoined to take up their place in the public sphere.In recent years, this model of state-centered secular modernity and state feminism has come under intense scrutiny and criticism as Islamists, Kurds, feminists, and others demand their claims for recognition and force a rethinking of current understandings of Turkish identity and subjectivity, specifically regarding gender and the place and role of women in society. These controversies, contradictions, and ambiguities are reflected in women¿s lives and are waged by various factions over women¿s bodies within ideological constructions of identity and this study seeks to examine these disjunctures and contradictions as reflected in modern Turkish literature and culture.Negotiating Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Turkey is an essential tool for scholars and students of Middle Eastern literature, Turkish literature and culture, gender and sexuality studies, modern and postmodern literature, postcolonial and feminist literature and studies, cultural studies, religious studies, and women¿s studies and seeks to place a microscopic view on a marginalized and embattled group.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 130 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This collection of essays compares media diversity law (including cartel law) in Australia and Germany. Both countries are liberal Western capitalist societies strongly committed to the rule of law, individual freedoms and democratic values and principles. They also face similar economic, social and technological challenges. Yet there also are important differences between Australia and Germany that make a comparison of how both countries regulate media diversity profitable. Australia has no constitutional guarantee of media freedom, but all relevant rules are federal. In both respects Germany is different. This book reveals that notwithstanding important differences, both countries have evolved broadly similar legislative regimes ¿ but each can also learn from the experience of the other. 276 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In What Is Film , Julie N. Books critically evaluates three philosophical doctrines of film realism (transparency, illusionism, and perceptual realism) and defends her view that films are creative works of art.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This iconoclastic study compares the lives and works of Virginia Woolf and her Quaker aunt, Caroline Stephen, to suggest that Woolf was more deeply influenced by a sense of mysticism than she was by her father¿s atheism. Anyone interested in Woolf, Quaker studies, British Modernism, Christianity, and women¿s studies would find much here to challenge assumptions. 196 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This collection of essays provides both critical and interdisciplinary means for thinking across diasporic travels within the Portuguese experience and its intersection with other peoples and cultures. The chapters are organized into four sections and offer rich, diverse, and insightful studies that provide a conceptualization of the Portuguese diaspora with special attention to the importance of cross-cultural interferences and influences. Within this framework, and from a variety of perspectives, some of the chapters depict identity-formation paths among Portuguese Jews and Luso-Indians in Australia, as well as the historical, cultural, and literary interplay among Portuguese and other diasporas in Goa, the West Indies, and Brazil. Other chapters analyze Portuguese-American literature and poetry, whereby the intersection of memory, dual identity, and place are meticulously explored. The last section of the book addresses Portuguese writers and poets who lived through (in)voluntary exile or were dislocated to Europe and Asia, and how their diasporic conditions interface with their textualized narratives. Place and memory as means of reconstructing a fragmented existence, in the writings of exiled writers, are also explored. The volume closes with a chapter on Portuguese illegal migration to France. The studies herein open new lines of inquiry into diaspora studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 352 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The 7 Earl Beauchamp was a prominent figure in English public life in the years 1900¿30, but his career ended in scandal. He was barred from English soil, his reputation was destroyed and his papers were withheld from public view. In this book, Peter Raina uses previously unreleased documents to reassess Beauchamp¿s life and legacy.Born into the aristocracy, Beauchamp was driven by a sense of noblesse oblige and devoted his life to public service. Though some of this was ceremonial, Beauchamp was keen to involve himself in practical politics, where he showed his independence of mind. He joined the Liberals as they pushed through change against obstruction from his own landowning class. He championed Irish Home Rule. In 1914 he opposed entry into the war and lost any chance of promotion. However, he remained deeply loyal to his party even after its split and decline, and worked tirelessly in its cause.His life touched on great events such as the formation of Australia and, in Britain, the great reforms of 1906¿9, the 1911 Parliament Act, the crisis of 1914, the creation of the Irish Free State, the Liberal collapse, the first Labour government and the economic slump. Through all these, he busied himself in party affairs, but one aspect of his private life worked against him and, in a Sophoclean twist, he fell from grace.This book documents the Earl¿s involvement in politics, explores his personality and looks carefully at the issues that brought him down. In the light of this analysis, it is hoped that historians will recognize his significant contribution to the events of his day. 542 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Global World is a pivotal formula in present-day «Newspeak». The book¿s leitmotif ¿ if it is true that the faces of today¿s global world are manifold ¿ is that language opens to the other, that the word¿s boundaries are the multiple boundaries of the relation to others, of encounter among differences. Otherness logic is in language and life. The aim is to evidence how, contrary to implications of the newspeak order, new worlds are possible, critical linguistic consciousness is possible ¿ a «word revolution» and pathway to social change. The method is «linguistic» and concerns the language and communication sciences. But to avoid that the limits of the latter influence our perspective on «the global world and its manifold faces», this method is located at the intersection of different scientific perspectives. As such it pertains to «philosophy of language», but in dialogue with the science of verbal and nonverbal signs, today «global semiotics», therefore it is also «semiotic». And given that how to understand «the global world» is not just a theoretical issue, but concerns how we relate to others, to differences in all their forms and aspects, the method proposed with this book is also «semioethic».Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 350 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The title of this volume intentionally echoes that of a landmark issue of Textus on «Languaging» in and across Human Groups, edited by Giuseppina Cortese and Dell Hymes in 2001, since the notion of ¿languaging¿ seems to capture most effectively the essence and the continuity in the life and work of Giuseppina Cortese, to whom the book is dedicated. It brings together contributions by a number of distinguished scholars that shed new light on current developments in this dynamic area of discourse analysis, especially taking into account recent research and emerging insights on speech communities and communities of practice.The sections in the volume are designed as main threads of a new investigation into ¿languaging¿. The first, entitled Languaging Awareness, deals with recent findings in applied linguistics, exploring key topics in language acquisition, language learning and teaching and the changing role of the media. The second section, Languaging Identity, prioritizes the theme of the construction of identity in text and talk within a linguistic and languaging framework. The third section, Languaging Community, explores the notion of community, of the lifeworld and the textworld emanating from a variety of domains, closely inspecting contemporary events and showing, on a continuum with Cortese¿s approach, how memory of the past gives depth of meaning to a discourse analysis that is geared to linguistic and textual awareness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 524 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This first-of-its-kind book uniquely captures the meanings of work expressed by immigrants. Their stories ¿ from work histories to life transitions and professional journeys ¿ are conscientiously and rigorously mapped by the academic insights of communication scholars, many of whom are immigrants themselves.Immigrant workers¿ narratives of work and its nuances in an adopted country offer many hitherto muted, invisible, and/or purposely silenced perspectives. A variety of new and familiar terms ¿ concepts such as career inheritance, aphorisms, cultural adaptation, acculturation, and cultural distance ¿ and culture-specific terms such as ganas and consejos are discussed alongside the inherent struggles of identity construction across borders.While the contributors represent diversity in co-cultural affiliations, national origin, and immigration experiences encountered both personally and professionally, the stories of immigrants represent an even larger number of countries and cultures.This volume compels the academic community to acknowledge immigrants as workers whose voices matter and whose sense and processes of meaning-making is nuanced, complex, and multi-dimensional. Immigrant workers¿ voices can contribute significantly to the rich growth of research in organizational communication, meanings of work, career studies, cross-cultural management, psychology of work, and work and society.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 174 pp. Englisch.
