Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz (NetzDG) erfuhr schon vor seinem Inkrafttreten im Jahr 2017 erhebliche Kritik, insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Grundrechtsschutz der Nutzer von sozialen Netzwerken. Die Autorin untersucht vor diesem Hintergrund, inwiefern die Netzwerkanbieter zum Schutz der Grundrechte ihrer Nutzer verpflichtet sind und wie effektiv die Nutzer auf der Grundlage von Verfassungsrecht, durch einfachgesetzliche Normen sowie vertragliche Regelungen bei der Nutzung von sozialen Netzwerken in ihren Grundrechten geschützt werden. Die Autorin kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass dieser Schutz aufgrund der geltenden Rechtslage nur mangelhaft besteht. Im Anschluss macht sie Vorschläge zur Verbesserung des Grundrechtsschutzes, die sowohl das NetzDG selbst betreffen als auch eine Ausweitung der Grundrechtsbindung der Netzwerkanbieter anregen. 178 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book articulates Jotería Communication Studies as a subdiscipline and as a praxis for resisting multiple forms of oppression by focusing on how everyday performances of identity and culture challenge master narratives of power and control. Although this book is for scholars, artists, and practitioners from communication studies, gender and sexuality studies, performance studies, cultural studies, or even, Latinx and Chicanx studies in education, sociology, history, literature, media, arts, and humanities, this book speaks to and with those nonheteronormative mestizas/os who perform their sexuality and gender in queer practices and communicative forms¿Jotería. As a methodological intervention into the study of marginalized and subaltern communities, this book provides research on Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (GBTQ) Chicano and Latino communities from specific geographic regions of the U.S. Southwest. Utilizing multiple methods, this book provides a cultural map or political snapshot of a particular time and place from a particular point of view or location and generates knowledge that highlights reflexivity, cultural/queer nuances, and decolonial acts of resistance. Specifically, this book locates ¿theories in the flesh¿ in the borderlands narratives of Jotería, such as cuentos, pláticas, chismé, testimonio, mitos, and consejos. These theories of power and resistance create knowledge about how Jotería make sense of their own difference, how people interpret their assumed or perceived difference, and ultimately, how difference is managed as an emancipatory tool toward the goal of queer of color world making.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 310 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Debates around agroecology most often focus on the depth and radicality of the change and relate to different visions of agroecology, which tends to eclipse the ontological relationships of actors (or researchers) to the very ¿change process¿ itself.This book is an endeavor to explicate relationships to change in agroecological transitions, referring to two contrasting and ideal-typical ontological relationships to change, the determinist perspective and the open-ended perspective. These conceptions or interpretations of the change process are based respectively on whether objectives and means are predetermined, or defi ned during the change process and while accounting for the uncertainty and complexity of mechanisms of change as well as for the diversity of actors¿visions.Many diverse cases of agroecological transitions are discussed in this book, in order to highlight the fact that these perspectives are not always exclusive in transition process but that they can be articulated successively or combined complementarily, in different ways ¿ thus reinforcing the potential diversity of transition pathways.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 318 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Due to the financial situation in the professional road peloton, many cycling teams struggle to find their sponsors. This situation is an opportunity for undemocratic politicians to promote their countries via cycling. Thus, some of them decided to create and support their own cycling teams. Generally, four WorldTour teams supported by undemocratic regimes and their governments have existed in professional cycling history. This book focuses on all of them; it reflects the existence of the Kazakh Astana Pro Team, the Russian Team Katusha (supported by the Russian government until the end of the 2015 season), the Bahrain Victorious (formerly called Bahrain Merida and Bahrain McLaren) or the UAE Team Emirates and the way they are/were used as sports diplomacy instruments. 158 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Interpretation has historically been understood as a method to shrink the distance between the interpreter and the interpreted. This view has dominated the comprehension of the interpretation of art: it always entails the interpretation of something, and this something must then govern our effort to understand it. If not, we are left with mere subjective whims. This book tries to modify this well-worn view by altering the dualist position to incorporate the very object within the sense-making activity. Interpretation rather becomes the creative making of something different, and this explains why it is deemed unfinished. The notion of ¿re-contextualization¿ covers this in between operation (between work and interpretation), and the very object of interpretation remains just an enabling condition of transference. Interpretation preserves the challenge, by re-making and re-locating meaning. 124 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume deals with the language of the British upper class in natural face-to-face dialogue and how this is rendered fictionally in audiovisual media. Its main aim is that of reorganising the sparse information on the topic that is found in previous scholarly studies through a qualitative methodological approach.After focusing on the linguistic description and evolution of the upper-class sociolect, the study offers original insights on the language of the Royal Family and its representation in the TV series The Crown.The results from this research, which combines the disciplines of sociolinguistics and dialectology applied to the audiovisual text, will hopefully open a new path in the study of language of elite groups in Britain, arguably an under-researched topic. 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -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.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 270 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seit der ¿anthropologischen Wende¿ der Aufklärung ist Religion als kontingentes Symbolsystem sichtbar geworden. Der Mensch wird damit vor die Aufgabe gestellt, dieses Symbolsystem kontinuierlich neu zu gestalten. In einer Zeit der zugespitzten Kultur- und Symbolkrise nimmt sich Hugo von Hofmannsthal dichterisch dieser Aufgabe an. Am Beispiel der Ehe-Thematik in den späten Komödien Hofmannsthals beschreibt die vorliegende Studie diese ¿Poetik des Religiösen¿ als religionswissenschaftlich vorgeprägte Gedankenfigur, die verbindliche Symbole durch den rationalen Regress an den anthropologischen Urgrund neu zu erzeugen versucht. In den Blick rücken daher Vorstellungen wie das ¿Soziale¿ oder die ¿höhere Notwendigkeit¿ als Garanten für religiöse Verbindlichkeit jenseits des Christentums. 236 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book aims to eliminate the misbeliefs that surround the question of the constitutionality and the feasibility of the territorial autonomy aspirations of Szeklerland, a predominantly Hungarian-speaking part of south-east Transylvania, Romania. The main hypothesis of the book is that the territorial autonomy of Szeklerland does not contradict the constitutional order of Romania. There are only political obstacles that are being presented as legal ones to avoid a dialogue on regional power-sharing. The doctrinal legal analysis outlined in the book, complemented with the comparative analysis, shows that the false presupposition that territorial autonomy would violate the constitutional system of Romania arises from the misinterpretation of the connection between state and autonomy, and as such can be falsified by the experience of functioning autonomies, the corresponding scientific literature, as well as the recommendations and documents of various international fora. 186 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die Arbeit untersucht, ob und wie aus den kommunalverfassungsrechtlichen Normen über die Bindungswirkung von Bürgerentscheiden ein subjektiv-öffentliches Recht des Gemeindebürgers herzuleiten ist. Hierdurch könnte er die Beachtung des Bürgerentscheids und seines Ergebnisses vonseiten des gewählten Vertretungsorgans einklagen ¿ wohingegen er sonst auf die Kommunalaufsicht angewiesen wäre, deren Einschreiten der Einzelne jedoch nicht beanspruchen kann, da sie allein im objektiv-öffentlichen Interesse handelt. Die Autorin analysiert hierzu die verwaltungs- und verfassungsgerichtliche Rechtsprechung, legt die relevanten Normen aus und entwickelt abschließend einen eigenen Lösungsweg, der zwischen den Ansätzen aus der Rechtsprechung und der Gesetzesauslegung vermittelt. 268 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Is it really a man¿s world At a time when masculinity is being challenged, this book explores the links between reading and writing and how they have historically been associated with masculine privilege. This book focuses on the representation of masculinity as a literary concept in Decadent literature by Huysmans, Lorrain, Rachilde, and Mirbeau to demonstrate how the movement both appropriated and subverted patriarchal assumptions surrounding reading and writing. The author takes a broad approach towards masculinity and its discontents by uncovering unlikely pretenders to the throne ¿ witches, dandies, and cuckolds ¿ destabilising its validity. By positioning the study against the backdrop of the fi n-de-siècle «crisis» of masculinity, the book undermines previously held assertions about the nature of masculinity then and now, opening up fresh ground for the appraisal and analysis of gender in French studies and beyond.This book was Joint Winner of the 2019 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in Nineteenth-Century French Studies. 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Many recent studies of racial passing have emphasized the continuing, almost haunting power of racial segregation even in the post-segregation period in the US, or in the post-apartheid period in South Africa. This 'present-ness' of racial passing, the fact that it has not really become 'passé,' is noticeable in the great number of testimonies which have been published in the 2000s and 2010s by descendants of individuals who passed for white in the English-speaking world. The sheer number of publications suggest a continuing interest in the kind of relation to the personal and national past which is at stake in the long-delayed revelation of cases of racial passing.This interest in family memoirs or in fictional works re-tracing the erasure of some relative¿s racial identity is by no means limited to the United States: for instance, Zoë Wicomb in South Africa or Zadie Smith in the UK both use the passing novel to unravel the complex situation of mixed-race subjects in relation to their family past and to a national past marked by a history of racial inequality.Yet, the vast majority of critical approaches to racial passing have so far remained largely focused on the United States and its specific history of race relations. The objective of this volume is twofold: it aims at shedding light on the way texts or films show the work of individual memory and collective recollection as they grapple with a racially divided past, struggling with its legacy or playing with its stereotypes. Our second objective has been to explore the great variety in the forms taken by racial passing depending on the context, which in turn leads to differences in the ways it is remembered. Focusing on how a previously erased racial identity may resurface in the present has enabled us to extend the scope of our study to other countries than the United States, so that this volume hopes to propose some new, transnational directions in the study of racial passing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 366 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book is a scientific monograph, based on a natural experiment on cognitive, emotional and social functioning during the year-long isolation of 21 winter hounds at the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station. The conducted research was of a specimen and sociometric nature. The results presented in the book are unique in the literature on the subject due to the longitudinal nature of the research conducted, together with its high frequency (every two weeks). Moreover, the social isolation was total in its character, due to the large limitation of connectivity with the outside world, which could be considered analogous to future long-term space missions. 410 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book offers original insights around a fascinating idea: Perception and the rest of cognition, crucially including language, are closer to each other than the Cartesian tradition dared to dream. By combining recent results in cognitive neuroscience, the philosophy of perception, and the syntax of natural language, the book demonstrates that there is continuity between higher and lower cognition. Percepts from perceptual experience are propositional, conceptual, and they are not divorced from objective reality. Human cognition is merged with the natural world, able to reflect it in complex ways and interact with it in modalities that are since the very beginning computationally complex and rich in content. 178 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The main purpose of the publication is to present a linguo-cultural picture of traditional values (such as the value of life, freedom, dignity, family, religion, community, truth, good, beauty, and God) reflected in Anglo-American and Polish paremiology. The author analyzes the proverbs with the use of semantic approach and divides them into several thematic categories and subcategories related to the sphere of values. The paremiological analysis carried out from a contrastive perspective provides additional evidence to support the claim that, despite some widespread axiological views common to languages, there exist distinct differences characteristic only of a given linguo-culture, naturally caused by different, among others, geographical, historical, social, and cultural environments. 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Reading is a peculiar kind of experience. Although its practice and theory have a very long tradition, the question of aesthetic pleasure is as perplexing as ever. Why do we read What exactly thrills us in the text One of the most prominent scholars having addressed these questions in the twentieth century is undeniably Roland Barthes, who distinguished between the «ordinary» pleasure of reading and bliss (jouissance), a delight so profound that it cannot be expressed in words. Taking his work as a central reference, and revisiting some of his seminal publications on the subject such as Empire of Signs (1970) and The Pleasure of the Text (1973), this collection of essays adopts a similar interdisciplinary approach to explore a broad range of themes and issues related to the notion of readerly enjoyment, between form and content, emotion and reason, and escapist and knowledge-seeking responses to the text: how do literary and ideological pleasures intersect In what ways do perversions, madness or even fatigue contribute to the pleasure of the text How do writing and signs, sense and significance, but also image and text interact in the intermedial process of reading How can paratexts ¿ i.e. the margins of the text, including footnotes ¿ and metatexts play a part in the reader¿s enjoyment Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 176 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book aims to evaluate the issue of discrimination in Turkey from different points of view. Valued academics have addressed issues of discrimination in different fields such as press, sports media, social media, politics, political discourse, immigration, economics, architecture, gender, identity, and violence. Turkey is also encountered in both implicit and explicit examples of discrimination in a way as it is in many other countries. Discrimination can be adopted through discourses and can be reproduced in a wide range from politics to sports, from media to economy and can also be carried over generations. Although legal arrangements have been made against discrimination, discrimination is still active in different parts of society and in different areas. 274 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Annie Skinner explores the challenges and obstacles faced by children who were removed from their families by the state in the nineteenth century. The children in this study were rescued from neglected, abusive or dangerous situations and committed to care, but in the process were criminalized and incarcerated in industrial schools until they turned sixteen. Using letters from the children, their parents and correspondence from the authorities, the author focuses on the children¿s experiences of their removal. We hear first-hand how children growing up in a controlled environment learnt how to navigate their way through the tough regimes of the institutions and resisted authority. The author shows how attitudes towards children in care were dominated by the belief that removing contact with their parents was essential in order to avoid repeating a negative history. A wholly new life was needed for a healthy and secure social development. At the heart of this new life was a future in domestic service. However, here children also faced stigma from employers and authorities. Skinner positions the voice of the child at the forefront of her study by offering close readings of children¿s letters, taken from source. And so she allows us to see the impact of such policies on lives, as well as their isolation as a result of removal and their search for identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 274 pp. Englisch.
