Festeinband. Zustand: Wie neu. 225 Seiten ; 22 cm, Tadelloses Exemplar. In the 12 chapters of this book the authors argue for the universal presence of music in public space and social relations. The examples of American, British, Hungarian, Polish and Russian music serve to elucidate two functions of political music, that of legitimizing and contesting political power. Both satirical songs with their ironic commentary on specific events and people as well as protest songs undermining the system corroborate the universal character of the legitimizing and delegitimizing function of music. The book is addressed to readers interested in countercultural movements and politically engaged music, especially to students of political studies, sociology and cultural studies.

hardcover. Zustand: Wie neu. Auflage: 1. 212 Seiten Frisches und sauberes Exemplar. Human imagination is saturated with monsters. They represent, in a number of ways, those that have been historically perceived as strangers to the human community. It is a game of alterities wherein female monsters have occupied a particularly relevant position. Women have been historically represented as the Other in this human/nonhuman dyad. In the present study nineteenth- and twentieth-century vampires' and zombies' narratives have guided the analysis of a contemporary neo-gothic artefact: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton. This book argues at the intersection of feminist literary analysis and cultural studies methodology, and it also considers queer notions of fluidity and performativity. The author sets out that Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter represents a twenty-first-century series questioning social norms and envisioning worlds of freedom.

Collocations are especially needed for translators, especially in the final phase of production of the target language text. This book proposes an integrated methodology, based on the information extracted from dictionaries and corpus, to encode and describe verb collocations in specialized resources. The focus is on verbs since few terminological resources include verb information when they are regarded as the most important lexical and syntactic category in language. The underlying idea of this research is that verbs and their arguments can be classified in a set of semantic categories typical of a given domain; then, when semantic roles and macroroles are specified, it is possible to establish templates that represent the entire lexical subdomain, and to predict the range of verbs.

Desde el prefacio se advierte al lector que no se trata del anälisis de los diferentes fenömenos idiomätkos que caracterizan la modali-dad cubana de la lengua espanola, ni tampoco de una descripeiön detallada de los mismos: se va mucho raäs allä a partir de un enfoque interdisciplinario para identlficar los imaginarios de los hablantes cubanos sobre su lengua y los acon-teeimientos historicos, sociales, econömicos y politicos que han repercutido en sus valoraciones. -- Ese resbaladizo terreno de la subjetividad en el lenguaje o subjetividad lin-güistica del hablante, que en los Ultimos tiempos finalmente ha comenzado a ser tomado en consideraciön, es en el que Sobrino Triana fija su ateneiön. Como elia misma seriala, desdfrar, legitimar y determinar la trascendencia de lo que piensan los cubanos sobre el uso y prestigio de su forma de hablar es uno de los propösitos ccntrales de este libro. La autora se planteö una serie de pregun-tas relacionadas con el tema, cuyas respuestas nos presenta a traves de un rico y enjundioso anälisis sustentado por una ainplia, actualizada y especializada bibliografia, a lo que se suma su rica experiencia personal como investigadora y docente. -- El primer capitulo, "La lengua espanola en Cuba", nos ofrece informadön sobre ese cubanisimo ajiaco, crisol en el que se fueron fundiendo diversos com-ponentes etnicos que forjaron la naeiön criolla, mestiza, que ya a finales del siglo xviii se identificaba mediante una modalidad de la lengua espanola propia, cubana, que se convertiria en el soporte idiomätico de su eultura e identidad. Aqui la autora, ademäs, nos familiariza ampliamente con los diversos intentos de periodizaeiön de la lengua espanola hablada en el contexto cubano y concluye con su visiön de la actual sociedad cubana del siglo xxi.

Based on the theory and methodology of transcultural memory, this book describes and analyzes the fictional representations of memory and forgetting and the multiple roles they play in identity construction of immigrants and exiles. It focuses on fiction by contemporary American writers of East-Central European descent: Askold Melnyczuk, Domnica Radulescu, and Aleksandar Hemon. The analysis of selected novels highlights a distinct historical slant with elements of generational memory, memory of places, rememory, and postmemory.

Denominados en la tradición romanística "parejas sinonímicas", "duplicaciones", "bimembraciones", etc., los grupos léxicos paratácticos constituyen uno de los fenómenos de estilo más llamativos y característicos de la escritura elaborada en la historia de las lenguas europeas. Este libro ofrece un análisis de las estructuras léxicas paratácticas desde una perspectiva plurilingüe y de acuerdo con un enfoque teórico-metodológico sustentado en la lingüística de variedades. Con base en un corpus de textos traducidos del latín al español, francés, italiano y portugués en la Edad Media y primer Renacimiento, se estudian las unidades en relación con el problema de la sinonimia, se realiza un recorrido historiográfico del fenómeno, se caracterizan morfosintáctica y semánticamente los grupos y se discuten el papel del cultismo y el carácter discursivo-tradicional en la conformación de las combinaciones paratácticas.

However, healing wounds and curing illnesses with medicinal plants and herbs began in prehistoric times and is as old as mankind ltself. Such remedies were often solemnly administered by medicine men or ihamans in ceremonies and rituais as a way to enhance their effectiveness and aflirm the supernatural power of the healer. -- Medical practices in Babylon and Egypt also had a strong magical and reli-gious component. In the Far East, Chinese traditional medicine, which prevents or heals disease by maintaining or restoring yin-yang balance, dates back at least 2,200 years. Passed down t'rom one generation to another, medical knowledge was transmitted from civilization to civilization, thanks to the traiislation of medical treatises and texts in languages such as Chinese, Sanskrit, Coptic, Persian, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Latin, and other Romance languages and, from the 19th Century, German and English (Gutierrez Rodilla 1998: 55). -- Nevertheless, throughout history, the validity of medical knowledge has been ephemeral. Remedies applied during one time period were often discov-ered to be ineffective in the next. In Remembrance of Things Past, Proust (1919) states that to believe in medicine is sheer folly, but not to believe in it is a greater folly still, because from this accumulation of errors a few truths have eventu-ally emerged (BalHu 2001). -- In this sense, the characteristic that best defines medical knowledge is its con-tinuous evolution and transformation. \Vhat was an unquestionable truth in one decade is replaced in the following by a revohitionary initiative, which will also one day become obsolete. The ever-changing nature of medical knowledge is one of the factors that influences and contributes to the proliferation of medical texts. -- Text production in the healthcarc field is extraordinarily diverse. Although many believe that medical translation is a well-defined subcategory of scientific-technical translation, it is actually a multidiseiplinary domaln with fuzzy boundaries, which encompasses a wide ränge of different knowledge areas and appiieations (Diaz Alarcon 2016). -- Medical texts, ivhether written on papyrus, scrolls, parchment, or paper, have always existed ever since men first became interested in treating illnesses and finding ways to eure them. Not surprisingly, medical discourse indudes a wide variety of genres, registers, text types, and communicative situations. Since the medical advances in different countries are mostiy reported in English, the lingua franca of science, the resulting lexts are ihe object ofa great deal oftrans-lalion, sdf-translation, and intranslatton. -- Just as medical knowledge is in constant progress, the terminology, lexis, and syntax of medical language is also in continuous evolution. Medical discourse can vary signincantly, dcpending on geographical origin (diatopic Variation), the relationship between the text Sender and receivers (diastratic Variation) and the communicative Situation in which the text is produced (diaphasic Variation). -- Paradoxically, since many medical authors are non-native Speakers of English, their texts are often self-translaüons (Balliu 2001). This adds another level of complexity to biomedical text produetion, because it blurs the contours of tex-tual identity, and therefore of the translation. -- Medical text produetion can also involve intranslation or heterofunctional translation (Nord 1997), which oecurs when the content of one text genre is poured into another completely dilferent genre. Tn medidne, an important scien-tific finding is frequently communicated in a wide variely of texts. For example, the discovery and produetion of a new drug may generale all of the following: -- Reports of the results of clinical trials in specialized Journals -- Presentations in medical Conferences -- Technical data sheet -- Patent application -- ProducL leaflet -- Newspaper artides -- This book, however, does nbt focus on medical genres and text types, which have been extensively studied and defined. For instance, Löpez-Rodriguez (2000) describes the main genres in English and Spanish medical Journals. Mayor Serrano (2007) studies medical brochures and proposes a pragmatic text typology for training medical translators. Montalt and Gonzalez Davies (2007) categorize various medical genres based on their global social purpose, and their taxonomy has been expanded by the GENTT research group1 to indude six cat-egories: (1) clinical; (2) informative; (3) meta-genre; (4) educalional; (5) promo-tional; and (6) research (Gonzalez Darriba 2014).- -- The book focuses on the practice of biomedical transiation and its method-ology. The importance of this type of translation is highlighlcd in the annual surveys launched by associations such as the European Union of Associations of Translation Companies, ELIA (European Language Induslry Association) or FIT Europe to discover the expeetations, concerns, challcnges, and trends in the European Language inciustry. The results for the 2020 survey1 show that major translation providers obtained revenues mainly from engineering, manufacturing, healtheare and life science companies, followed by the language industry, legal and intellectual property firms, and Software companies. 'lhis survey included questions that evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on the language industry. Among the seclors that sutfered no negative cconomic impact or even obtained higher revenues were those related to healtheare, e-retail, online entertainment, telecommunications, and consumer goods.

Broschur. Zustand: Wie neu. 259 Seiten : Illustrationen ; 21 cm, 355 g. A good copy -- The internationalisation of higher education has accelerated in recent years. Internationalisation at most higher education institutions mainly takes the form of study abroad. This immersion in an intercultural environment is believed to foster the development of academic and non-academic skills, thus improving graduates' employability. Regardless of the geographical area, higher education institutions (HEI) have therefor put student mobility at the heart of their academic projects. However, the context has changed: the Covid-19 health crisis has led to a freezing of international mobility. Alternative solutions to traditional mobility must be found. With this book, we intend to contribute to reflections on how to develop intercultural sensitivity and intercultural competences among students through Internationalisation at Home. For this purpose, in the eight chapters of the book, we present some pedagogical methods that facilitate the creation of a context conducive to interculturality and the acquisition of plural skills by students at home. Some authors examine how these competences can be assessed. Finally, we propose a framework explaining how a combination of activities within an institution can foster the development of students' intercultural competences. Regardless of the approaches chosen by the teachers observed, they answered similar questions. These questions set a framework for reflections on efficient approaches to supporting the development of students' intercultural skills in an Internationalisation at Home context. -- Summary: Cecilia Brassier-Rodrigues & Pascal Brassier: Introduction -- Rachel Lindner: The Global Virtual Teams Project: A Deconstruction of (Inter-)cultural Learning through Virtual Teamwork -- Pascal Brassier, Jobst Goerne, Patrick Ralet & Geoffrey Heels: Gamification in International Business Education and Cross-Cultural and Sales Competences: From Theory to Practice -- Marcin Kleban, Simon Ensor & Christine Blanchard Rodrigues: Hybrid Pedagogical Design in Intercultural Competence Development -- Angel Yim Hung Fan, Angela Daly & Natasha Pushkarna: How Internationalization at Home through Digitalization Subverts the Traditional Classroom and Creates Students-as-Producers: A Case Study of a Law Course in Hong Kong -- Xin Zhao & Paul Reilly: Breaking Down Barriers?

Their depiction is surprisingly authentic and without anthropomorphization. This book illustrates how an equicentric reading offers new insights into the novel's spaces, characters, and relationships. It features comparisons with popular horse-narratives and an equicentric analysis of the novel's gender relations. How does horsemanship redefine masculinity? What is the inherent connection between femininity and the equine? This book answers these questions from an equicentric perspective, while taking into account patterns of anthropocentrism and misogyny. In addition, the focus is on the narratees and on how the degree of equine experience they bring to the narrative may enhance the horses' figurative significance.

Broschur. Zustand: Wie neu. 231 Seiten : Illustrationen As new! Cet ouvrage étudie la programmation et la mise en uvre de la politique de cohésion communautaire en Région Sicile en analysant particulièrement son volet culturel. Une approche au plus près du terrain, nourrie de nombreux entretiens réalisés de Bruxelles à Palerme, a mis à jour un cadre d'intervention inopérant. Caractérisée par son extrême complexité, la politique de cohésion s'articule difficilement avec la politique de développement des régions et pays concernés et sa mise en uvre révèle de lourds dysfonctionnements. La culture est reconnue dans ce cadre pour sa contribution au développement du tourisme autour du patrimoine, pourtant cette vision centrée sur son impact économique est réductrice et trompeuse. Le principe du partenariat promu par cette politique suppose l'implication des parties prenantes du territoire, or la Région Sicile mobilise la majorité des financements disponibles, au détriment d'un secteur culturel qui reste globalement exclu. Enfin, la politique de cohésion apparaît comme un révélateur des crises politiques sicilienne et européenne : certains acteurs institutionnels insulaires privilégient l'inertie, tandis que la faible réaction des institutions communautaires pourrait traduire l'absence de volonté d'uvrer pour une réelle cohésion européenne.

Playing Shakespeare's Rebels and Tyrants is the fourth volume in the Peter Lang series, Playing Shakespeare's Characters. As in the previous volumes, a broad range of contributors (actors, directors, scholars, educators, etc.) analyze the concepts of rebellion, tyranny, leadership, empathy with not only references to Elizabethan and Jacobean studies, but also to Donald Trump, the social justice movement, and the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Shakespeare's rebels occupy space in both the personal and political, and often quickly turn from rebel to tyrant once in power. How can Shakespeare's text inform current conversations about race, equity, representation, rebellion and tyranny? Who gets to define the power dynamics in Shakespeare's plays? This volume looks at the Henrys, Hotspurs, Richards, Lears, Brutuses and Caesars, as well as the Juliets, Rosalinds and Cordelias who make up the panoply of Shakespeares rebels and tyrants.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is all about dementia in Ireland and what has and has not been happening in a country where dementia has been a taboo topic for so long. In particular it examines the dementia landscape since late 2014, following the launch of Ireland¿s first National Dementia Strategy. A lot has happened in Ireland since that time but a lot more needs to happen for people to live well with dementia and have their human rights upheld. There are an estimated 55,000 Irish people living with dementia and these figures are set to triple by 2050. Although topics explored in the book,such as obtaining a diagnosis, accessing home care services and moving from home into a nursing home relate to Ireland, they are discussed against the backdrop of policy, practice and research developments in dementia in other parts of the world. In this way the book provides the reader with a wealth of information including research evidence, best practice guidelines and international expertise. The book has been dedicated to Mnánah ¿Éireann, in recognition of the hard physical and emotional work, caregivers,mostly women do behind closed doors. Throughout the book, an appeal is made for more state support to be given to these formal and informal caregivers.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The cradle of the Church of the East was in Mesopotamia (between the Tigris and the Euphrates), where it developed its first centre at Seleucia-Ctesiphon, then the capital of the great Persian Empire and today an archaeological site to the south of Baghdad. From the very beginnings of Christianity until the fourteenth century, this Church experienced a remarkable expansion in Asia, its missionaries carrying the Gospel from Persia to India, via the Persian Gulf, and even as far as China. The Church of the East reached China as early as the seventh century via Central Asia and the celebrated Silk Road that linked China to the Mediterranean world. Much later, in the late fourteenth century, the invasions of the Mongol conqueror, Timur Lang (Tamerlane), across Asia brought about a great decline of the Church of the East. Eventually, after the genocide suffered by Christians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, and the massacres that followed in Persia, the Church of the East and its people were on the verge of extinction. In 1940 the patriarchal seat was moved to Chicago (in the United States) and then in September 2015 to Erbil (in northern Iraq). Many of the faithful have left the Middle East and have formed diaspora communities throughout the world. The history of Christianity in the Middle East and well beyond, in Central and Eastern Asia, is very little known. In this book, the reader is invited to travel in time and space and undertake the fascinating discovery of a very ancient apostolic Church, the Church of the East, whose two-thousand year history constitutes an indispensable chapter in the history of the universal Church. 210 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the serious crisis of political authorities that liberal societies are currently experiencing. Indeed, a significant number of individuals living in these societies did not hesitate to defy the sanitary rules enacted by their government which has made it difficult for them to stop the virus from spreading. What can explain such a situation This is what this book is discussing. Whether it is the growing popularity of conspiracy theories, the distrust towards governments or cultural and religious beliefs that take precedence over the respect of governments¿ directives, all these factors that have led so many individuals to act in an irresponsible way during the pandemic find their roots in the liberal tradition as it originated in the 18th century and in its more recent development which has had the effect of decentralizing the individual from his collective responsibilities in favor of an almost unlimited enjoyment of his individual freedom. This health crisis has revealed the urgency for liberal societies to establish a better balance between collective interest and individual freedom through responsible citizenship capable of protecting its citizens against the adoption of draconian measures when they will be struck again by upcoming pandemics that appear to be unfortunately inevitable.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 82 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Following on from the phenomenal success of the Peter Lang publication ¿Autism from the Inside Out¿, ¿Leading inclusion from the Inside Out¿ is the first book to focus on providing Irish parents, early childhood teachers in early learning and care, primary and special school settings with practical and effective strategies for supporting the inclusion of all children at this critical phase of their education journey. With a foreword by Prof Seamus Hegarty, University of Warwick/University College Dublin, and emerging from the experiences of the authors during the delivery and evaluation of the multi-award winning Leadership for INClusion in the Early Years (LINC) Programme, the book is located in contemporary research on inclusion. The volume is presented in three interconnected sections focused on placing the child at the centre of a bioecological framework; realising inclusive pedagogy and cultivating effectiveleadership for including all children.Believing that language is a significant contributor to progressing an education system where all children are valued equally, the authors have directed specific attention to the use of terminology that communicates a philosophy of universality, within which difference and diversity are embedded, rather than disability and uniformity. In essence, the publication looks towards a new era, where leading inclusion from the inside out progresses to leading early childhood education from the inside out and advocating for inclusion is relegated to history. 346 pp. Englisch.
