Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The legislative dynamic in the post-Amsterdam era is increasingly challenging the Schengen Acquis as it leads to both legal harmonization and fragmentation. SIS, EURODAC, Prüm and, more recently, VIS have changed Europe's law enforcement authorities considerably. However, it is questionable whether the fragmented legal harmonization can provide sufficient compensatory measures in light of the increasing international criminal links and illicit migration within the Schengen countries. This analysis focuses on the theoretical considerations regarding the various concepts of Europeanization, and on their effect on the multi-layered policy processes and actors implementing the Schengen complexes. This work is directed at students, researchers and practitioners wishing to survey the current legal situation. 122 pp.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In dieser Arbeit kann das in der Überlieferung vorherrschende negative Bild des Oldenburger Grafen Gerhard VI. als das eines raubgierigen Gewalttäters revidiert und als Konstrukt der am Ende siegreichen Feinde Gerhards entlarvt werden. Er wird stattdessen in den seinerzeit möglichen und üblichen Handlungsspielräumen eines Grafen dargestellt, der eine zwar ambitionierte, aber doch nicht unrealistische Politik betrieb, und der letztendlich an einer machtvollen und zahlreichen Koalition seiner Gegner scheiterte. Dabei spielt nicht nur die Entwicklung in den oldenburgischen und schleswig-holsteinischen Herrschaften, sondern auch die Dynastie der Oldenburger Grafen eine wichtige Rolle, die zu dieser Zeit mit Gerhards älterem Bruder Christian, dem König von Dänemark, ihr Machtpotential erweitern und überregionale Bedeutung gewinnen konnte. 116 pp.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive wird an Morenga von Uwe Timm untersucht, wie der Autor auf das kulturelle Wissen über Kolonialvergangenheit sowie Selbst- und Fremdbilder einzuwirken versucht. Die Studie arbeitet in einer umfassenden Kontextanalyse heraus, wie Timm in der Fiktion Historie umschreibt und die Leserschaft zu einer kritischen Sicht auf die deutsche Kolonialvergangenheit anleitet. Fast nebenbei wird dabei in Morenga die Gattung des historischen Romans erneuert. Weiterhin geht die Studie der Frage nach, welche Funktion Konzeptionen von Alterität und Identität im kolonialen Herrschaftsdiskurs einnehmen. Timm nimmt hier, wie gezeigt wird, postkoloniale Theoreme vorweg und verhandelt in der Figur Gottschalk Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Fremdverstehens. 94 pp.

Die Kinder österreichischer Frauen und französischer 'Besatzer' litten bzw. leiden Zeit ihres Lebens unter Stigmatisierung, Ablehnung und Intoleranz von Seiten der einheimischen Bevölkerung. Weder das Mutterland noch das Vaterland, beide zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Geburt Feinde, aber heute Partner in der Europäischen Union, konnten und können ihrer Identitätskrise ein Ende setzen. Der Autor hat die 'Kriegskinder' in Vorarlberg respektvoll interviewt und erklärt mit Hilfe des Konzepts der Erbsünde und der Verdammung das Schweigen der Behörden rund um diese individuelle Tragödie des Zweiten Weltkriegs. 144 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Ursachen zu hoher Vergütungen und der Unmut über die Vergütungssysteme sind zahlreich. Die Vergütungsstrukturen haben sich in den letzten Jahren stark verkompliziert. In vielen Fällen stehen die Vergütungshöhen nicht mehr in einem angemessenen Verhältnis zur erbrachten Leistung. Dabei kommt erschwerend hinzu, dass gerade variable Bestandteile den überwiegenden Teil der Vorstandsvergütung ausmachen, die oftmals an kurzfristigen Ergebnissen, wie Umsatz oder Bilanzgewinn, ausgerichtet sind. Nicht zu unterschätzen ist zudem der Lake-Wobegon-Effekt. Welches Unternehmen möchte in der Öffentlichkeit schon allein dadurch wahrgenommen werden, dass es seine Führungskräfte unter dem Marktdurchschnitt bezahlt und damit den Eindruck erwecken, dass Qualifikation und Leistungsfähigkeit der Führungskräfte gleichermaßen unterdurchschnittlich sind. Und schlussendlich kann eine Ursache auch in Aufsichtsräten deutscher Unternehmen ausgemacht werden, deren Mitglieder die Geschäftsführung der Vorstände aufgrund mangelnder Kenntnisse (gerade im Bereich von Finanzgeschäften) nicht verstanden haben und diese trotzdem ungeprüft gewähren ließen. Diese Ausarbeitung befasst sich kritisch mit den gesetzlichen Neuerungen und deckt nicht nur ihre Schwächen, sondern auch ihre Anwendbarkeit auf andere deutsche Gesellschaftsformen auf.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Anhand der Geburt Jesu durch die Jungfrau Maria werden die in der Zeitenwende in Palästina vorhandenen Geisteshaltungen dargestellt und die in den letzten vorchristlichen Jahrhunderten aufgetretenen deuteronomistischen, weisheitlichen, apokalyptischen und hellenistischen Tendenzen berücksichtigt. Das Wirken von Jesus wird im Einklang mit seinem Judentum beschrieben und seine Kreuzigung durch die damals herrschende und später revidierte Ansicht über einen Messias erklärt, der gewaltsam zu seiner Herrschaft gelangen sollte. Die Loslösung der Jesusanhänger vom Judentum und der darauf folgende innerchristliche Konflikt begründet die antijudaistische Haltung maßgebender Kirchenväter. Diese sahen in der Beibehaltung jüdischer Bräuche der Judenchristen eine Gefahr für die Einheit des Christentums, das schon im zweiten Jahrhundert von den Christen dominiert wurde, die aus dem Heidentum stammten. Diese Einstellung gegen die judaisierenden Christen führte dann zu den antijudaistischen Aussagen christlicher Theologen. 140 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Globalisierung ist keineswegs als ein linearer und einheitlicher Prozess zu begreifen, wie dies in einer rein ökonomistischen Deutung oft angezeigt wird. Zwar finden zahlreiche Phänomene in der Globalisierung im Rahmen ihrer universalen Entgrenzung einen gemeinsamen Bezug, doch sind die Effekte regional und sektoral ganz unterschiedlich und oft auch widersprüchlich. Der systemische Widerspruch ist geradezu ein Grundsymptom der Globalisierung. Unter dem leitenden Aspekt einer 'Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichen' werden in diesem Lehrbuch strukturelle Phänomene in insgesamt 14 Kapiteln vorgestellt und diskutiert. Dabei handelt es sich jeweils um staatsübergreifende Aspekte und Fragestellungen wie die internationale Migration, den modernen supranationalen Terrorismus, das weltweite demographische Wachstum, den Klimawandel, die Neuen Kriege, die Revolutionen im arabischen Raum und den Möglichkeiten, die durch die neuen Kommunikationstechnologien kognitiv bereit stehen. Die Darstellung richtet sich gleichermaßen an Studierende sowie Lehrende und politisch Interessierte. 248 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The differing beliefs that emerged between Christianity and Judaism, especially in the first two centuries AD, were mainly caused by the introduction of heavenly beings in the Jewish religion. This resulted in the predominance of a messiah, who will be sent by God as salvator mundi. Mainly Paul preached and practiced the conversion of pagans to Christianity, without obligating them to practice the Jewish law. In the course of time the baptized pagans represented the mainstream of Christianity which caused a conflict between them and those Jews who practiced the Jewish law but also believed in Jesus as the Messiah. The development of these tendencies is described in this book. 126 pp. Englisch.

Emerging from the integral theories of Teilhard de Chardin and embracing Neil Postman's media ecology, the reception theories of John Fiske, and the work of many contemporary scholars, The Newsphere constructs a solid theoretical, historical, and practical framework for news as ecology.

This book is an exciting and progressive foundation text for introductory journalism and mass communication courses, with applications in advanced reporting, new media, news literacy, media ethics, and political science classes. The Newsphere will inspire its readers to move beyond the conventional and to embrace the new news, a dynamic network of unlimited participation. 144 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This groundbreaking book analyzes the extent to which feminine ideals of beauty, power, and spirituality in southern Nigeria translate into unique demonstrations of corporeality, extravagance, transfiguration, and wellness. Considering a culture of ceremonial seclusion, fatness, decoration, and identity construction as it is revealed through mbopo, a mysterious ritual practiced in Ibibioland, Nigeria, this work seeks to isolate a visual aesthetic that is specific to Ibibio and Cross River cultures. Through the analysis of regional aesthetic forms, Daughters of Seclusion addresses the connections between mbopo ritual and larger conceptions of aesthetics, artistry, and literacy in Ibibio provinces. Its cross-disciplinary analysis fuses West African women's studies and art history to discuss nuances in modes of female representation and conceptualization in Ibibio art and life. 336 pp. Englisch.

It spells out elements of the conceptual foundations of an environmental education theory - among them implicit education, advocacy, Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, and climate change - that can both advance our understanding of and improve our responses to modern environmental problems. The book is intended to broaden the types of environmental education practiced, specifically by attempting to draw on the integrative strengths of liberal education. At their core, environmental problems require both ethical and integrative understanding as part of their solutions: this book proposes strategies for incorporating such understanding into our educational theories and programs. 168 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Becoming a Teacher revisits the concept of Teacher Lore (Schubert and Ayers, 1992), by providing a cross-disciplinary approach linking elements of narrative theory to all aspects of pre- and in-service teaching. In essence, it embraces the notion that what teachers say matters. The rationale behind this text is the idea that narrative can not only be a conceptual lens through which a particular discipline can be re-examined, but also an aid to help preservice teachers understand the potential importance of personal experience and reflective ways of knowing as they learn to become teachers. In addition, this book serves as a reminder to those of us in teacher education that the very mandates that control so much of our curricula, funding, and publishing decisions can be reconstructed to reflect what we know is good teaching - and what we know works, in spite of standardized testing and accountability measures that declare the opposite. 248 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012. This book overturns the typical conception of standards, empowering educators by providing concrete examples of how top-down models of assessment can be embraced and used in ways that are consistent with critical pedagogies. Although standards, as broad frameworks for setting learning targets, are not necessarily problematic, when they are operationalized as high-stakes assessments, test-based pedagogies emerge and frequently dominate the curriculum, leaving little room for critical pedagogies. In addition, critics maintain that high-stakes assessments perpetuate current class structures by maintaining skill gaps and controlling ideology, particularly beliefs in individualism, meritocracy, and what counts as knowledge. This book offers readers a deepened awareness of how educators can alleviate the effects of standardization, especially for students in poor and working-class communities. As teachers negotiate their roles in this time of increasing regulation and standardization, it is essential to maintain and model a critical stance toward curriculum and instruction. Educators know why this approach is vital: This book illustrates how to make it happen. 288 pp. Englisch.

While many publications have outlined these issues, the goal of this book is not to resonate despair but to illuminate our hopes and dreams for public education.

However, spirituality and sacred knowing are also fundamental to a Black/endarkened feminist epistemology in teaching and research, given the historical and cultural experiences of African ascendant women worldwide. How can (re)membering bear witness to our individual and collective spiritual consciousness and generate new questions that inform feminist theory and practice Learning to (Re)member the Things We've Learned to Forget explores that question. Theorizing through sites and journeys across the globe and particularly in Ghana, West Africa, this book explores how spirituality, location, experience, and cultural memory engage and create an endarkened feminist subjectivity that can (re)member, opening possibilities for research and teaching that honors the wisdom, history, and cultural productions of African diasporic women particularly and persons of African heritage generally. 144 pp. Englisch.

The concept of change-as opposed to continuity-is central to the increasing interest in digital media. However, this focus has not yet been matched by substantive theoretical discussions, or by extensive empirical examinations of computer-mediated communication and intercultural communication. Against such a backdrop, this volume offers theoretical insights, fresh evidence and rich applications as it assesses the nature of digital culture(s) in order to address assumptions about the present state of mediated global society(ies) and their future trajectory. Chapters explore what happens in praxis when digital media are implemented across cultures and are contested and negotiated within complex local and political conditions. The book showcases interpretative and critical research from voices with diverse backgrounds, from locations around the world. As such, this volume presents a rich and colorful tapestry that provides opportunities for comparative analyses and deepened international understandings of digital media connections, particularly in the areas of identity, community and politics. 360 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As academic feminism has critiqued the often-violent inscriptions of institutionality, it has also produced a narrative of its role in the university fraught with difficulties of its own. The understanding of difference - as an object to be agreed upon and as the foundation for a diversity model of inclusion - that has emerged as the defining feature of this narrative has also come to serve as the suture point between feminism and the university, a site of presumed resistance to institutionality. Engaging in a close reading of the literature on the current state of academic feminism as well as a variety of bureaucratic, organizational, and scholarly texts on the US university, Danielle Bouchard draws from contemporary political philosophy, postcolonial and women of color feminisms, and poststructuralist social theory in order to examine feminism's relationship to what has become one of the central missions of the US university: the management of difference. Proposing that the possibility of imagining alternative university formations rests on a difference that cannot be fully accounted for, Dr. Bouchard understands feminism as a community of disagreement, a formation that resists political resolution and interpretive closure. 190 pp. Englisch.

Contributors describe the social realities - globalization, migration, poverty, criminalization, and racism - youth are resisting through what we recognize as a decolonial cultural politic. The book contributes to current scholarship in multicultural education, seeking to understand the vilification of youth (of color) for the social problems created by a global system that benefits a small minority. In an age of corporate globalization, Hip-Hop(e) highlights the importance of research projects that link the production of educational scholarship with the cultural activities, everyday practice, and social concerns of global youth in order to ameliorate social, economic, and political problems that transcend national boundaries. 344 pp. Englisch.

Ceux-ci fondent, à Lugano, ' Coenobium ', la ' revue internationale de libres études ', qui existera de 1906 à 1919. La naissance de ce périodique coïncide avec la crise du positivisme de la fin du XIX e siècle, le modernisme naissant et un idéal socialiste d'inspiration mazzinienne.Publiée principalement en italien et partiellement en français, ' Coenobium ' se distingue par la pluralité des thèmes traités : de la science au droit, de l'histoire à la philosophie, de la littérature au spiritualisme, de la pédagogie à la psychologie. Toutefois, avec le premier conflit mondial intervient un changement dans la ligne éditoriale de la revue, alors dirigée par Bignami, qui décide d'en faire un influent instrument de propagande pacifiste grâce à la rubrique ' Guerre à la guerre ! '.Le périodique mobilise alors une série de personnalités de premier plan, issues du monde culturel et politique international. Elle publie ainsi les interventions de William Jennings Bryan, Henri La Fontaine, Heinrich Lammasch, Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani, Giuseppe Motta, Karl Liebknecht, Charles Richet, Romain Rolland, Claudio Treves et Filippo Turati.

It is unique because it actively resists basing the practice, research, and theory of young adolescent education on developmentalism and the developmental stage of young adolescence. The purpose of this book is to begin to reorient the discourse on young adolescent growth and change and in turn reconceptualize the education of young adolescents. The book infuses a contingent, recursive conception of adolescent growth and change into the discourse around young adolescence by making three pleas to those interested in the schooling of young adolescents: to move away from a developmentally responsive vision to a contingently and recursively relational vision; to move from «characterizing» young adolescenCE to «particularizing» young adolescenTS; and to move from a «sameness» curriculum to a «difference» curriculum. 306 pp. Englisch.

In Thailand konvertieren besonders Mitglieder ethnischer Minderheiten zu dieser «neuen» Religion. Anhand zweier Beispielminderheiten werden die Gründe hierfür untersucht. Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf der Theorie, dass die Konversion zu einer «abweichenden» Religion zur Bewahrung der ethnischen Identität genutzt wird. Weiterhin werden Wechselwirkungen zwischen den indigenen Religionen und dem Christentum analysiert. Die Autorin fragt dabei, inwiefern sich Konversionstheorien verschiedener Wissenschaftler auf die untersuchten Beispiele anwenden lassen. Dabei wird grundlegend bezweifelt, dass die häufig gemachte Unterscheidung zwischen einer Volksreligion und einer Universalreligion überhaupt zulässig ist. 151 pp.

It differs from the earlier critical approaches to the writings of this writer in as much as it attempts to examine his mature poetry from a non-dualistic perspective. The study demonstrates in detail how Bialoszewski's radical approach to poetry evolves into a consistent life-writing and life-philosophy (life-writing-philosophy). The poet disregards binary oppositions and he approaches life and reality without any universal method. In the poet's mature poetry, the context is identified as life and not as reality, and Bialoszewski's writing is described as his life project which is not searching but rather researching, since it has no pre-established goal to reach except for being continued. 194 pp. Englisch.
