Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Since the United States has gone South in a number of respects, it is crucial to our understandings of ourselves and our current milieu to peer through the mist that covers the intricacies of the culture and history of the South. A Curriculum of Place: Understandings Emerging through the Southern Mist presents new and provocative insights into the study of curriculum and place focusing on the South. The essays emphasize understanding the importance of Southern place politically, educationally, and experientially.

Questions are raised concerning the effects of place on the development of Southern identity, educational dispositions, popular culture, politics, and other issues. Ultimately this book affirms the importance of the study of place in contemporary discussions of culture and curriculum.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Educators Online fills a significant need, introducing educators to social and collaborative technologies that will enrich their own lives and those of their students. Proceeding from the understanding that once teachers become comfortable with these technologies, they will be more willing to experiment with them in their classrooms, Laura M. Nicosia blends theories of new media literacies with anecdotal accounts from her much-sought-after professional development offerings. Educators Online focuses on why teachers should use these technologies; thus, even as the technology evolves, this book will be seminal. The social practices associated with these applications nurture stronger professionals and, by extension, improve both teaching and learning. The book will compel professional educators, support staff, and pre-service teachers to dive into these networks at their own pace and have a «virtual coffee break» with each other. This book will prove valuable in courses on teaching methods, educational technology, introduction to social media, introduction to digital literacies, and digital rhetoric. 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents research exploring the potential for postfoundational theories to revitalize discussions in early childhood education. In the past two decades, postfoundation theories (e.g., postmodern, poststructural, feminist, postcolonial, etc.) have revolutionized the field of early childhood education, but at the same time, little has been written about the value and potential of this movement within the context of Canada. Postfoundational theories have the potential to disrupt normalizing early childhood education discourses that create and maintain social inequities, and to respect differences and diversities. Given the importance of diversity in Canada, it seems relevant to explore further how postfoundational theories might transform early childhood education.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 242 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book explores the unique experiences of African-born educators and students in North American K-12 classrooms, as well as those of education faculty and administrators. It identifies the conflicting attributes that African-born educators and students bring into American schools and the challenges of working in linguistically, racially and culturally regulated educational spaces. The collected essays examine how attributes assigned to immigrant teachers by the host community of students, colleagues and administrators can serve both as conduits and deterrents for effective teaching. In all, Reprocessing Race, Language and Ability uncovers the existence of unavoidable ¿ though not insurmountable ¿ racial, cultural and linguistic dissonance when African and western cultures come in contact.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book positions the 'prophetic' as an organizing concept that can bridge religious and secular criticism of popular media. Drawing from philosophical ethics and moral psychology, the book argues that prophetic critique engages a complex set of universal human capabilities. Whether religious or secular in origin, prophetic critique requires developmentally complex modes of critical reflection, imagination, empathy, and communication. Although this book is diverse in perspective, each author seeks to expose how the content, institutions, and technologies of popular media alternately support¿or undermine¿the basic values of equality, human dignity, and social justice. By foregrounding such universal principles, the authors distinguish their arguments from critical/cultural scholarship that fails to acknowledge its own normative foundations and implicit theology of culture. The authors demonstrate the efficacy of this framework by applying it to specific case studies in popular media including theater, film, music, journalism, and digital culture. The book argues that the prophetic critique of mass media is essential to maintaining a productive tension between religious communities and the institutions of secular democracy. More broadly, in outlining an inclusive understanding of prophetic critique, this book builds bridges between religious and secular scholarship and generates a unique vision for a revitalized, mass-mediated public sphere. 230 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This collection of essays frames the work of teachers and teacher educators within a struggle over what it means to educate a highly diverse public. Visions for public education, as shaped by progressivism and the Civil Rights movements, have emphasized preparation of all children and youth for participation in a diverse democracy. This vision is being challenged by neoliberalism, which frames education as a commodity to be acquired for individual advancement within a competitive marketplace, and as an arena for profit-making. In this book, Sleeter connects incisive conceptual analyses, research reviews, and descriptive portraits of teachers and teacher educators as they «teach back to power.» She argues that the work of pushing back against neoliberalism, especially as it overlaps with racism, patriarchy, and radical religious fundamentalism, is a political project, but one that research can help to support.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Our Stories Matter explains and exemplifies the methodology of Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) writing for marginalized, underrepresented, and previously «disappeared» students at all levels of higher education. Presently no book looks at the whys and hows of scholarly personal narrative writing that focuses on this particular audience of underrepresented students. SPN writing has its origins in early slave narratives; 1960s feminist liberation stories; religio-spiritual autobiographies; existential, postmodern, and postcritical theory; and memoir/autobiographies of victimization and victory. Our Stories Matter attempts to fill a huge vacuum in the literature on the art and craft of personal narrative writing for undergraduates and graduates, because it appeals to a hugely expanding, previously underrepresented audience. It also provides faculty with a substantive pedagogical rationale and a writer¿s guide for teaching this kind of scholarly research ¿ not just to underrepresented students but to all students who are ready to tell their stories in their own original, creative ways. 202 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -What is the relationship between discourse analysis and its more recent companion disciplines such as sociology, political science and information and communication sciences, at their point of convergence between the symbolic and the social How are relationships evolving between discourse analysis and disciplines like the literary studies, psychoanalysis and philosophy, which have been the constant companions of linguistics as these emerged and developed What is the place and role of discourse analysis in Europe These are some of the themes dealt with in this book.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Travel writing studies have been focused mostly on women travel writers and on representations of the world and the other. This book adopts a novel perspective which diachronically combines the issues of genre and gender. The author postulates that the genre of the travel book in the British literary tradition was established and developed in the eighteenth century alongside the novel and the autobiography. He cogently presents the developments in earlier non-fictional travel narratives in order to expose both their similarities and fundamental differences from modern travel books. Underlying his research is the conviction that the narrative personae of travel books have always been placed in the foreground because of the key role of sentimental discourse and celebrity culture. This book competently analyses the main trends, techniques and constraints in the process of constructing male narrative personae in British travel books written between 1755 and 1939. 318 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book focuses on the modernization of the Greek Orthodox community of Mytilene ¿ the capital of Lesbos, an island located in the north-east Aegean ¿ the changes it underwent, and its responses to the ever-changing political situation between 1876 and 1912. The author argues that the position of leading community members, particularly journalists, and their receptivity towards the social and political changes of the period, went hand-in-hand with their ¿ethnic¿ and political aspirations for the role of the Greek Orthodox ethnos in the Empire. In relation to the competition among various ¿imperialisms¿ and ¿nationalisms¿ then developing around Mytilene¿s Christians, the author shows that Ottoman reforms were successful in encouraging them to co-opt local interest such that concern for the growth of the specific community was directly linked to the survival of the Ottoman Empire.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents and evaluates the liturgical vision of Pope Benedict XVI and the theological background underlying that vision. It describes the main features of Joseph Ratzinger¿s theology of the liturgy and analyses them within the context of his theology as a whole.

The author discusses the various critical voices which have been raised against the Pope¿s liturgical agenda and against certain aspects of his general theology. Overall, the book offers an assessment of the importance of Ratzinger¿s vision for the Church at the threshold of the third millennium.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 352 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume investigates the changes undergone by written communication in our globalized world as English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). The latter usually functions as a language for communication purposes, but also becomes a language for identification purposes. The study takes into account different web-genres: from the replication of existing genres in other media to cybergenres, whose key evolutionary force is the progressive exploitation of the new functionalities afforded by the new medium. The variety of the contexts of use has made it possible to consider different ELF-using communities of practice, whose members adopt ELF and adapt it to express individual, national and professional identities in international interactions. The analysis focuses on lexicogrammatical innovations, which inevitably change in accordance with the different contexts of use, as well as on the communicative strategies underpinning these changes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 262 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -What is a princess story In this subgenre, newly defined in The Princess Story, the protagonist either is a princess or is attempting to become one: the girl transforms into or identifies herself as a princess through marriage or through discovered identity, or both. Princess lessons often accompany this transformation, lessons that not only educate the fictional girl but also the reader.Cultural expectations and anxieties about the roles of girls and women are transmitted through princess stories, and the dialogic nature of feminism and patriarchy, forces for progress and forces for tradition, can be explored through their study. In this book, feminism and progress are embodied by the first, second, and third wave of feminist princess stories; patriarchy and tradition are represented by Disney Studios¿ princess stories. All of these stories influenced their readers, some of whom grew up to write their own princess stories, stories that reflected and ¿ they hoped ¿ furthered their ideological goals. Princess stories of the early 2000s are compelling in that they tensely balance romance and feminist assumptions.Anyone interested in folklore studies, feminist studies, children¿s literature, Disney studies, film adaptations, psychology, sociology, or theories of child development will find The Princess Story: Modeling the Feminine in Twentieth-Century American Fiction and Film essential reading. When contemplating the changes made by feminists to American culture, no one figure is as worth examining as the fictional princess, and no book has yet approached the topic as thoroughly as this one.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Der etymologische Bedeutungsgehalt der Worte Aufbruch und Umbruch ist nicht eindeutig und beinhaltet zum einen die kriegerischen Bedeutungen des Aufbruchs der Wunde und des Lagers. Zum anderen umfasst er aber auch positive Konnotationen wie den Aufbruch in eine neue Epoche und den Umbruch der Erde als Vorbereitung des Ackers auf neuen Ertrag. Die wissenschaftlichen Analysen nähern sich diesen Bedeutungen aus vielfältigen Perspektiven und zeigen, dass unterschiedliche Poeten des Auf- und Umbruchs diesen Zeitenwenden, Umbrüchen und Aufbruchsphänomenen in ihren Werken nachgehen. Die Namen der Schriftsteller reichen von Wolfram von Eschenbach, Georg Büchner, Anna Seghers, H. G. Adler, Yvan Goll, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Bertolt Brecht, Gertrud Kolmar, Elisabeth Langgässer, Paul Celan bis zu Andrzej Stasiuk. 140 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Demokratie kann ohne die Herstellung von Öffentlichkeit nicht existieren. Politische Partizipation und eine möglichst transparente Kommunikation im öffentlichen Raum bedingen sich wechselseitig. Beide Prinzipien stehen in der Gegenwart einer sich rasant globalisierenden Welt unter enormen Veränderungsdruck. Staat, Nation und die Identität von Gesellschaften hängen davon ab, wie sich Öffentlichkeit in demokratischen Foren ausgestalten lässt. Empirisch wie theoretisch wird in diesem Band anhand der Theorien von Jürgen Habermas und Hannah Arendt sowie am Beispiel der Vorgänge in der Ukraine rund um die Orangene Revolution und der Konstellation in Polen verdeutlicht, wie sehr das Prinzip von Öffentlichkeit in eine vielleicht grundlegende Metamorphose gerät, was zu gravierenden Veränderungen im Zuschnitt des demokratischen Modells führt. 158 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das Werk rekonstruiert die Interpretation der reinen Rechtslehre seitens der italienischen Juristen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Gedanke Hans Kelsens spiegelt sich in der italienischen Rechtslehre wider und übernimmt die Rolle eines Schlüssels, um die Gedanken von Juristen wie Giuseppe Capograssi, Vittorio Frosini und Santi Romano zu interpretieren, die oftmals den eigenen Gedankengang im Vergleich mit der reinen Rechtslehre erklärt haben. 164 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Der Deutsche Idealismus war und ist eine der wirkungsmächtigsten Ideenkonstellationen in der Geschichte der Philosophie ¿ nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil er Idealismus in praktischer Absicht war und auf geschichtlichen Fortschritt zielte. Er hat seine wesentlichen Quellen in der deutschen Kulturgeschichte. Ihn jedoch als ein vorrangig nationalgeschichtliches Phänomen zu behandeln, würde zu kurz greifen. Transnational haben kulturelle Traditionen und Zukunftsperspektiven bei seiner Rezeption eine große Rolle gespielt und ihm jeweils ein besonderes Profil verliehen. Berücksichtigt man auch die wechselseitigen Interaktionen zwischen den nationalen Rezeptionen, so wird die europäische Dimension der Entstehung und Wirkung des Deutschen Idealismus deutlich. Er war und ist ein zentrales Moment der Entwicklung Europas als einer polyphonen kulturellen Einheit. Die hier versammelten Studien konzentrieren sich auf Kant, Hegel und insbesondere Schelling. Im Zentrum stehen die Theorien der Erkenntnis und des Wissens, der Natur und der Geschichte sowie des Rechts und des Staates. 242 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Bosnien und Herzegowina erlebten von 1992 bis 1995 einen ethnisch definierten Bürgerkrieg. In der Folge standen sich die Konfliktparteien mit unversöhnlichen Geschichtsbildern gegenüber. Schaffen es vergangenheitspolitische Verfahren und geschichtspolitische Konflikte, hier einen Wandel konkurrierender Erinnerungen zu bewirken und den Weg zu einer Aussöhnung zu ebnen Das Buch erörtert diese Frage zunächst anhand theoretischer Studien zur Erinnerung und konzeptioneller Arbeiten über die Verfahren der Vergangenheitspolitik. Anschließend nutzt es die daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse, um mit einer Längsschnittstudie zu Bosnien und Herzegowina die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Bemühungen um eine Aufarbeitung auszuloten. 276 pp. Deutsch.
