Tracing the development of discourses of public participation media, the book focusses particularly on the 1990s onwards when broadcasting was expanding rapidly: the rise o

    DDC: 398.209
    Keywords: Tales - Korea ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Homer B. Hulbert and James S. Gale, two of the most famous North American missionaries to come to Korea in the 1880s, were very fond of ghost stories, but for years the Korean scholars they met swore that no such stories existed in Korea. Eventually, they discovered that Korea, too, had a plentiful supply of ghosts and spirits, celebrated in many eerie tales. However, because the stories had seemed too frivolous or were connected with shamanism and Buddhism, the scholars had been ashamed to talk about them.A main source of these stories were collections of yadam. These were a form of short tale, especially popular in the Joseon period. Whereas Confucian classics were the gateway to officialdom, yadam offered an escape valve, dealing with things much closer to daily life. The stories told there were about individuals who were not always admirable paragons of Confucian virtue; rather, they were often artful dodgers who managed to escape from tricky situations; survive traps; deal with ghosts, spirits, and nine-tailed foxes; and even get rich in the process.As we celebrate the one hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Hulbert and Gale, the present selection of Korean ghost stories-nostalgic for their echoes of the lost world of old Korea and its many ghosts-is offered for the pleasure of readers in the twenty-first century, one hundred years after their original publication

    Abstract: Entwicklungstheorie befasst sich mit sozialem Wandel und globaler Ungleichheit - meist aus der impliziten Perspektive des Westens. Dennoch finden sich hier bisweilen innovative Stimmen, denen der vorliegende Band ein Forum bietet. Dabei versammelt er unterschiedlichste Perspektiven: politökonomische und postkoloniale, spieltheoretische und wissenssoziologische, Modernisierungstheorie und Weltsystemtheorie.

    Abstract: In this article I examine ways in which emotional distance is narrated in autobiographical accounts of language learning and then I suggest how these insights might inform the pedagogic goal of integrating creativity and emotion in language teaching. Citing extracts from autobiographical interviews (with British adults who had learnt French or German) I show how learners valorize the language learning experience, both linguistically (through ludic engagement with new semiotic resources) and culturally (through self-positioning as cosmopolitan outsiders).

    Abstract: A photographic essay that explores a wide spectrum of experiences told from the perspective of a diverse group of young people, ages 14-24, identifying as queer (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning), Speaking OUT: Queer Youth in Focus presents portraits without judgment or stereotype by eliminating environmental influence with a stark white backdrop. This backdrop acts as a blank canvas, where each subject's personal thoughts are handwritten onto the final photographic print. With more than 65 portraits photographed over a period of 10 years, the book provides rare insight into the passions, confusions, prejudices, joys, and sorrows felt by queer youth and gives a voice to an underserved group of people that are seldom heard and often silenced. The collaboration of image and first-person narrative serves to provide an outlet, show support, create dialogue, and help those who struggle.

    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: A provocative history that reveals how sex workers have been at the vanguard of social justice movements for the past fifty years while building a movement of their own that challenges our ideas about labor, sexuality, feminism, and freedom Fifty countries treat sex work as a legitimate job, and it has been legalized (with restrictions) in eleven others. The United States is one of the few industrialized nations that continues to criminalize prostitution and, as Melinda Chateauvert reveals, these laws have put sex workers at risk. Documenting five decades of sex-worker activism, Sex Workers Unite puts prostitutes, hustlers, call girls, strippers, and porn stars in the center of civil rights struggles. Although their presence has largely been ignored, sex workers have here been recast as key activists in struggles for gay liberation, women's rights, reproductive justice, union organizing, and prison abolition. By foregrounding labor, Chateauvert reframes sex work as work and argues that sex-worker rights are ultimately human rights.

    Abstract: Filmpropaganda war die neue Waffe des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Das Kino schwor die deutsche 'Volksgemeinschaft' auf den Endsieg ein und mahnte die Briten zum Durchhalten des täglichen Bombenterrors. Filme mussten dem kriegsmüden Publikum ein glaubhaftes Feindbild vermitteln und gleichzeitig unterhalten. Die Traumfabriken in Deutschland, Großbritannien und den USA bedienten sich dabei sehr unterschiedlicher Methoden: Während Zuschauer im Dritten Reich vor dem unbeugsamen Willen eines 'Ohm Krüger' in Ehrfurcht erstarren sollten, lachte das US-Publikum über 'Daffy Duck', der dem Cartoon-Hitler den Holzhammer auf den Kopf schlug. Hans Strömsdörfer analysiert die Konstruktion von Feindbildern in erfolgreichen deutschen, britischen und US-amerikanischen Spielfilmen des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Was unterscheidet Klassiker von Filmen, die heute in Vergessenheit geraten sind? Welche Politik stand hinter den Produktionen - und wie erfolgreich war sie? Dieses Buch handelt von faszinierenden Filmen, die nicht nur Studiokassen füllen, sondern einen Krieg gewinnen sollten.

    Abstract: Northern Ireland is now generally regarded to be a post-conflict region since the official end to three decades of violence in 1998. However, given some of the stipulations of the Good Friday Belfast Agreement, including the early release of politically motivated prisoners from jail, society in Northern Ireland remains in a state of flux, uncertainty and disagreement. This book presents four thematic studies revolving around the issues of imprisonment, surveillance, traumatic recall and myth-making in Northern Ireland. These studies examine the different ways in which artists and filmmakers ar
