Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It has been common for both scientists and policy makers to view sanitary provision as a dichotomy between a centralised and a decentralised approach. Moreover, sustainability assessment has also been characterized by a dualistic approach, between the techno-centric and the eco-centric. Such views are often simplistic and not in tandem with the existing multiple sanitary options and service providers in East African cities, which defy such classification. This book provides the theoretical and empirical basis for a third way of classifying and assessing the multiple technical and institutional options to sanitary provision. This novel assessment approach called 'modernised mixtures' is used in this book as a tool for conceptualising, assessing and improving sanitary provision in East African cities. The assessment is based on four social and technical dimensions and three sustainability criteria. This inclusive approach in assessing sanitary mixtures, benefits decision making among imperfect options.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Subjectivity in Language and in Discourse deals with the linguistic encoding and discursive construction of subjectivity across languages and registers. The aim of this book is to complement the highly specialized, parallel and often separate research strands on the phenomenon of subjectivity with a volume that gives a forum to diverse theoretical vantage points and methodological approaches, presenting research results in one place which otherwise would most likely be found in substantially different publications and would have to be collected from many different sources. Taken together, the chapters in this volume reflect the rich diversity in contemporary research on the phenomenon of subjectivity. They cover numerous languages, colloquial, academic and professional registers, spoken and written discourse, diverse communities of practice, speaker and interaction types, native and non-native language use, and Lingua Franca communication. The studies investigate both already well explored languages and registers (e.g. American English, academic writing, conversation) and with respect to subjectivity, less studied languages (Greek, Italian, Persian, French, Russian, Swedish, Danish, German, Australian English) as well as many different communicative settings and contexts, ranging from conference talk, promotional business writing, academic advising, disease counselling to internet posting, translation, and university classroom and research interview talk. Some contributions focus on individual linguistic devices, such as pronouns, intensifiers, comment clauses, modal verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and their capacity of introducing the speaker's subjective perspective in discourse and interactional sequence; others examine the role of larger functional categories, such as hedging and metadiscourse, or interactional sequencing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In den letzten Monaten vor seinem Tod 2001 hat Dietmar Kamper es noch vermocht, seiner Einbildungskraft nachzuspüren - sein Körper-Denken gebar Träume, die er schriftlich niederlegte. Das Buch ist eine weitgehende Auswahl dieser Träume, die ernst machen mit Kampers Axiom, dass Welt nicht mehr in einen Kopf allein hineinpasst. Dass Schlaf und Tod Brüder, Vorstellungskraft und Traum Zwillingsbrüder sind - diese Einsicht gehört zum Allgemeingut des Wissens über Menschen. Gleiches gilt für den Traum der Vernunft, der Ungeheuer gebiert. Dietmar Kamper, bis zu seinem Tod Professor am Institut für Soziologie der FU Berlin und wesentlich die Berliner Historische Anthropologie verkörpernd, hat vor allem in den letzten Monaten seiner Krebserkrankung im Träumen eine Öffnung gefunden, um an der Mauer des Unmöglichen dem/das Verstehen der eigenen Situation des Körpers nachzuspüren. Dieses Träumen als subjektlose Leidenschaft gehörte für ihn mit zur Wissenschaft - als Abkehr vom Verleugnen der eigenen unbewussten Konstitution.Das Buch stellt eine Auswahl der niedergeschriebenen Träume Kampers dar: Notiert in einer Zeit, die er selbst »Warten auf den Schmerz« nannte.
