    Keywords: Former Soviet republics -- Politics and government ; Nationalism -- Former Soviet republics ; Russia (Federation) -- Politics and government -- 1991- ; Nationalism ; Former Soviet republics.. ; Former Soviet republics ; Politics and government.. ; Russia (Federation) ; Politics and government ; 1991- ; Electronic books
    Abstract: The contributors to this book discuss the new conjunctions that have emerged between foreign policy events and politicized expressions of Russian nationalism since 2005. The 2008 war with Georgia, as well as conflicts with Ukraine and other East European countries over the memory of the Soviet Union, and the Russian interpretation of the 2005 French riots have all contributed to reinforcing narratives of Russia as a fortress surrounded by aggressive forces, in the West and CIS. This narrative has found support not only in state structures, but also within the larger public. It has been especially salient for some nationalist youth movements, including both pro-Kremlin organizations, such as "Nashi," and extra-systemic groups, such as those of the skinheads. These various actors each have their own specific agendas; they employ different modes of public action, and receive unequal recognition from other segments of society. Yet many of them expose a reading of certain foreign policy events which is roughly similar to that of various state structures. These and related phenomena are analyzed, interpreted and contextualized in papers by Luke March, Igor Torbakov, Jussi Lassila, Marlène Laruelle, and Lukasz Jurczyszyn
    Abstract: Contents -- Introduction -- 1 Is Nationalism Rising in Russian Foreign Policy?The Case of Georgia -- 2 History, Memory and National Identity -- 3 Negotiating History -- 4 Making Sense of Nashi's Political Style The Bronze Soldier and the Counter-Orange Community -- 5 Russian Radical Nationalist Interpretation of the French Riots of November 2005

    Abstract: This is a wry, affectionate look at the lives of two lesbian grannies, their friends, family and community. Anyone who knows an ageing activist will recognise the combination of good intentions and aching joints. And anyone who has been young will identify with the children as they try to make sense of a mystifying adult world.

Growth projections havebeen revised slightly downwards to 6.8 percent in 2013 and 2014, based on lower gold andcotton prices that are leading to somewhat lower output, and the impact of the high base ofagricultural production in 2012 on growth in 2013. Inflation has continued to decline,reaching 2 percent, with notable reductions in the prices of food and staple goods. Thecurrent account is likely to deteriorate more than previously anticipated due to decliningterms of trade, and higher volume imports of fuel and cap

From the Bronze Age to the Classical Age, from the medieval world to today, the Jason story has been told and retold with new stories, details and meanings. This book explores the epic history of a colorful myth and probes the most ancient origins of the quest for the Golden Fleece--a quest that takes us to

    Abstract: Nicole Alfert analysiert den Einfluss von Mediatisierungsprozessen auf die Soziale Arbeit unter Berücksichtigung des Sozialen Netzwerkes Facebook als Gegenstand und Handlungskontext in der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit. Sie untersucht in einer explorativen Studie die Nutzung sowie Herausforderungen und Unterstützungsbedarfe auf Seiten der pädagogischen Fachkräfte. Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass dem feststellbaren Engagement der Fachkräfte und der verbreiteten beruflichen Nutzung von Facebook eine strategische Planungs- und Konzeptentwicklung, ein entsprechender Informationsgehalt sowie ausreichende Ressourcen im beruflichen Alltag nicht entsprechen. Zu konstatieren bleibt ein erheblicher Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildungsbedarf, so dass die Ergebnisse wichtige Impulse für die aktuelle Diskussion liefern. Dr. Nicole Alfert ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft, Arbeitsbereich Sozialpädagogik, an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster.

    Abstract: Once deemed a "dysfunctional" democracy with a "feckless" set of political institutions and a "drunk" economy, today's Brazil has undergone a complete reversal of fortune. Now in its third decade of democracy, the economy is blossoming and large-scale development projects are underway, including the exploitation of massive, off-shore oil reserves, a nationwide effort to modernize infrastructure, and preparations for the hosting of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Inequality and poverty are reducing and even Brazil's political institutions are more governable and are producing a higher

    Abstract: It seems to be a truism that today's news media present the news in a more personal and direct way than print newspapers some twenty-five years ago. However, it is far from obvious, how this can be described linguistically. This study develops a model that integrates and differentiates between the various facets of personalisation from a linguistic point of view. It includes 1) contexts that involve the audience by inviting direct interaction and through the use of visual elements; 2) the focus on private individuals who are personally affected by news events; and 3) the use of communicative i

    Abstract: It was Jerrold Casway who coined the phrase ""The Emerald Age of Baseball"" to describe the 1890s, when so many Irish names dominated teams' rosters. But one can easily agree-and expand-that the period from the mid-1830s well into the first decade of the 20th century and assign the term to American sports in general. This book covers the Irish sportsman from the arrival of James ""Deaf"" Burke in 1836 through to Jack B. Kelly's rejection by Henley regatta and his subsequent gold medal at the 1920 Olympics. It avoids recounting the various victories and defeats of the Irish sportsman, seeking i

    Abstract: 'Many of us have stood above a colony of ants and been astounded at their ability to act and organise as a social system. Humans are, of course, smarter, independent free-thinking individuals. Read this book and think again. With eyesight sharpened by math, modeling, and the familiarity with a new landscape he has in part created, Sandy Pentland and his team are mapping out a new world, crawling with information, that offers some real understanding of who we are and who we could be. Welcome to the age of social physics.'
    Abstract: Where do ideas come from? How do they get put into action? How can we create social structures that are productive and creative? If the Big Data revolution has a presiding genius, it is MIT's Alex Pentland. Over years of groundbreaking experiments, he has distilled remarkable discoveries that have become the bedrock of a new scientific field: social physics. This revolutionary science shows that innovation doesn't come from a few exceptionally bright people, but from the flow of ideas - especially how our social networks spread ideas and turn those ideas into behaviours. Thanks to the rise

    Abstract: During the fourth century BC the number of Greeks who did not live as citizens in the city-states of southern mainland Greece increased considerably: mercenaries, pirates, itinerant artisans and traders, their origins differed widely. It has been argued that this increase was caused by the destruction of many Greek cities in the wars of the fourth century, accompanied by the large programme of settlement begun by Alexander in the East and Timoleon in the West. Although this was an important factor, argues Dr McKechnie, more crucial was an ideological deterioration of loyalties to the city: the

    Abstract: What does it mean to be Jewish? What is an anti-Semite? Why does the enigmatic identity of the men who founded the first monotheistic religion arouse such passions? We need to return to the Jewish question. We need, first, to distinguish between the anti-Judaism of medieval times, which persecuted the Jews, and the anti-Judaism of the Enlightenment, which emancipated them while being critical of their religion. It is a mistake to confuse the two and see everyone from Voltaire to Hitler as anti-Semitic in the same way. Then we need to focus on the development of anti-Semitism in Europe, especia

    Abstract: When a mother kills her child, we call her a bad mother, but, as this book shows, even mothers who intend to do their children harm are not easily categorized as ?mad" or ?bad." Maternal love is a complex emotion rich with contradictory impulses and desires, and motherhood is a conflicted state in which women constantly renegotiate the needs mother and child, the self and the other. Applying care ethics philosophy and the work of Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Simone de Beauvoir to real-world experiences of motherhood, Sarah LaChance Adams throws the inherent tensions of mother

    Abstract: Blending personal experience with rigorous study, this explosive manifesto rails against what it presents as the resurgent sexual fascism of the new world order. By exposing everything from the casual acceptance of snuff pornography in "gore" culture to the framing of rape as a punch line, Abigail Bray links the celebration of sexual sadism to the rise of an authoritarian culture of militarized violence. Arguing that a meaningful collective resistance has been undermined by the mass destruction of genuine social and economic security for ordinar

    Abstract: The shtetl was home to two-thirds of East Europe's Jews in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, yet it has long been one of the most neglected and misunderstood chapters of the Jewish experience. This book provides the first grassroots social, economic, and cultural history of the shtetl. Challenging popular misconceptions of the shtetl as an isolated, ramshackle Jewish village stricken by poverty and pogroms, Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern argues that, in its heyday from the 1790s to the 1840s, the shtetl was a thriving Jewish community as vibrant as any in Europe. Petrovsky-Shtern brings thi

    Abstract: The use of webcam, especially through Skype, has recently become established as one more standard media technology, but so far there has been no attempt to assess its fundamental nature and consequences. Yet webcam has profound implications for many facets of human life, from self-consciousness and intimacy to the sustaining of long-distance relationships and the place of the visual within social communications.Based on research in London and Trinidad, this book shows how 'always-on' webcam is becoming an entirely different phenomenon from the initial use of webcam as a videophone.

Why are unaccompanied migrant children living on the streets and routinely threatened with deportation to their countries of origin? Why do so many young refugees of war-ravaged and failed states end up warehoused in camps, victimized by the sex trade, or enlisted as child soldiers?

    DDC: 305
    Keywords: Habermas, Jürgen ; Social structure ; Transnationalism ; Political sociology ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Is Habermas’s concept of the public sphere still relevant in an age of globalization, when the transnational flows of people and information have become increasingly intensive and when the nation-state can no longer be taken granted as the natural frame for social and political debate? This is the question posed with characteristic acuity by Nancy Fraser in her influential article ‘Transnationalizing the Public Sphere?’ Challenging careless uses of the term ‘global public sphere’, Fraser raises the debate about the nature and role of the public sphere in a global age to a new level. While drawing on the richness of Habermas’s conception and remaining faithful to the spirit of critical theory, Fraser thoroughly reconstructs the concepts of inclusion, legitimacy and efficacy for our globalizing times. This book includes Fraser’s original article as well as specially commissioned contributions that raise searching questions about the theoretical assumptions and empirical grounds of Fraser’s argument. They are concerned with the fundamental premises of Habermas’s development of the concept of the public sphere as a normative ideal in complex societies; the significance of the fact that the public sphere emerged in modern states that were also imperial; whether ‘scaling up’ to a global public sphere means giving up on local and national publics; the role of ‘counterpublics’ in developing alternative globalization; and what inclusion might possibly mean for a global public. Fraser responds to these questions in detail in an extended reply to her critics. An invaluable resource for students and scholars concerned with the role of the public sphere beyond the nation-state, this book will also be welcomed by anyone interested in globalization and democracy today. Nancy Fraser is Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor of Political and Social Science and Department Chair at the New School for Social Research. Kate Nash is Joint Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Media and Democracy at Goldsmiths, University of London, and a Fellow of the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University.

Sein Grundlagentext macht Verbindungen zwischen historischer und zeitgenössischer Stadtsoziologie, Massenpsychologie und Crowdingforschung, klassischen Konzepten der Geographie und deterministischer Geopolitik, nationalökonomischer Bevölkerungslehre und nationalsozialistischer Bevölkerungspolitik sowie zwischen den unterschiedlichen Positionen in Raumplanung und Städtebau deutlich.

    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Die vorliegende Studie mit dem Thema Woodstock 2012 - Ein realistisches Eventkonzept oder reine Illusion? soll am Beispiel des Woodstock-Festivals 1969 und des Rock-am-Ring-Festivals der Jahre 2009 bis 2012 aufzeigen, welche Entwicklungen sich in der Festivalbranche, dem Eventmarketing und -management der letzten 40 Jahre, vollzogen haben. Es wird erarbeitet, ob die damalige Eventorganisation unter heutigen Bedingungen umsetzbar ist, oder mit welchen Möglichkeiten ein erneuertes Woodstock-Konzept im 21. Jahrhundert zu realisieren wäre. Anhand der analysierten Eventkonzepte beider Großveranstaltungen, sollen jegliche Unterschiede in den Bereichen wie der Organisation, Produktion, Verwaltung, Sicherheit und Marketing dargestellt werden. Angesichts des gegenwärtigen Eventmanagements und der aktuellen Gesetzeslage werden die Gründe für oder gegen die Umsetzung des Woodstock-Konzeptes 1969 im Jahre 2012 akzentuiert. Durch eine SWOT-Analyse, mögliche Marketingmaßnahmen sowie Expertenbefragungen, erschließen sich die realistischen Erfolgschancen für ein Woodstock-Festival 2012. Janine Weber, B.A., wurde 1988 in Landstuhl geboren. Ihr Studium der Angewandten Medienwirtschaft mit dem Schwerpunkt Medien-, Sport-, und Eventmanagement an der Hochschule Mittweida, schloss die Autorin im Jahre 2012 mit dem akademischen Grad des Bachelor of Arts erfolgreich ab. Bereits während des Studiums sammelte die Autorin umfassende praktische Erfahrungen in der Event- und Musikbranche. Fasziniert von dem gesellschaftlichen Phänomen des Festivals, dessen Ursprung und die Entwicklung der letzten Jahrzente sowie das Interesse am Leben der 70er Jahre, brachte sie dazu, sich der Thematik des vorliegenden Buches zu widmen.

    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Die Betrachtung einer Multi- Media- Agentur aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht hat zunehmend mit der Generierung von Wettbewerbsvorteilen und der Konzentration auf bestimmte Teilmärkte zu tun. Es wird keine isolierte Dienstleistung gesucht, gesucht wird stattdessen Kundenzufriedenheit, der Erfolg der erbrachten Dienstleistung wird dabei im relevanten Markt des Auftraggebers gemessen. Agenturen sind ständig bestrebt eine Professionalisierung ihrer Dienste im Sinne der Kundenanforderungen zu erzielen. Gleichzeitig bestimmen Wirtschaftlichkeitsfaktoren die Konzentration auf die vom Kunden honorierten Mehrwerte. Die zentrale Fragestellung zu dieser Studie lautet daher: Gibt es standardisierbare Kriterien hinsichtlich der Qualität einer Leistung zwischen einer Multi- Media- Agentur und dem Agentur-Kunden, welche zu Vereinbarungen über bestimmte Elemente der Leistungserbringung führen und die weiterhin zu einem Wettbewerbsvorteil führen und nicht ausschließlich mit Produktivitätssenkung bezahlt werden? Es wird demzufolge in dieser Arbeit untersucht, welche Qualitätsfaktoren unternehmensrelevant sind und wie eine systematische Erfassung und Nutzung dieser Daten erfolgen kann. Das Einholen von Feedback und die daraus geschlossenen notwendigen Anpassungen an das Service Level Agreement sind dafür von hoher Wichtigkeit. Henry Voßiek, MBA, Jahrgang 1969, hat nach 15-jähriger Berufserfahrung als Selbstständiger und Geschäftsführer im Bereich der digitalen Kommunikation, berufsbegleitend den Grad des Master of Business Administration im Studiengang Medien- und Marketing erlangt. Seit 2011 ist er, gemeinsam mit Lucas von Gwinner, Gründer und Geschäftsführer des Digitaloffice mit Sitz in Dortmund und München. Aus den Erfahrungen Beider hat sich das Digitaloffice darauf spezialisiert in Unternehmen digitale Potenziale zu heben. Damit wird einem renommierten Kundenkreis, digitale Markenführung und Umsetzungssteuerung aus einer Hand geboten. Die vorliegende Studie dient als Anleitung, digitale Medien als Agenturleistung wirtschaftlich, unterscheidbar, bewertbar und schließlich kundenoptimal zu erstellen.

    Abstract: In the UK ? where only a fifth of MPs are female; where women are paid less than men and one in four will experience violence from their partner; where men comprise the vast majority of the prison population and boys are underperforming at school ? the biblical vision of women and men being truly equal is needed more than ever. Equality, Jenny Baker suggests, is intrinsically related to the desire to see people flourish. Jesus was not averse to challenging cultural stereotypes in his encounters with others. His model of liberating relationships can be a great encouragement to us, as we seek to

Young French aristocrat Count Charles Edward de Beaulieu has banished himself from his native Europe, but his self-imposed exile in America is faring poorly, as he feels misunderstood and hopelessly out of place. Soon enough, a crisis breaks the Count out of his doldrums, and he acquits himself admirably when the chips are down

    Abstract: Peter Barnes argues that because of globalization, automation, and winner-take-all capitalism, there won't be enough high-paying jobs to sustain America's middle class in the future. Therefore, to survive economically, our middle class needs-and deserves-a supplementary source of nonlabor income.To meet this need, Barnes proposes to give every American a share of the wealth we own together- starting with our air and financial infrastructure. These shares would pay dividends of several thousand dollars per year-money that wouldn't be welfare or wealth redistribution but legitimate property inco

    Abstract: This anthropological study describes a specific form of mediation, as it is practiced in Ethiopia (Northeast Africa) by members of the Oromo and Amhara ethnic groups. It introduces elders as male household-heads in their advanced ages, who settle conflicts and arrange marriages for the members of the junior generations. There are not only 'easy' cases dealt with, which one might assume to be too 'unimportant' for state courts or other juridical institutions but also aggravated cases that may affect the wider group or that have inter-ethnic dimensions. The study uses specific case studies of ma

    Abstract: Jaipur 1778 narrates the interregnum concluded with the royal consecration of Pratapsingh (1778-1803). Over the period of a month, the new king became vested with the power of symbols that legitimated his dynasty. To the extent that this was a process taking place in the public space, it also confirmed the symbolic structure of the two royal residences involved. Monika Horstmann's book examines the history of those symbols and their human agents and the public ritual performed.

    Abstract: The family is hotly contested ideological terrain. Some defend the traditional two-parent heterosexual family while others welcome its demise. Opinions vary about how much control parents should have over their children's upbringing. Family Values provides a major new theoretical account of the morality and politics of the family, telling us why the family is valuable, who has the right to parent, and what rights parents should-and should not-have over their children. Harry Brighouse and Adam Swift argue that parent-child relationships produce the "familial relationship goods" that people ne

    Abstract: "Why are African Americans so underrepresented when it comes to interest in nature, outdoor recreation, and environmentalism? In this thought-provoking study, Carolyn Finney looks beyond the discourse of the environmental justice movement to examine how the natural environment has been understood, commodified, and represented by both white and black Americans. Bridging the fields of environmental history, cultural studies, critical race studies, and geography, Finney argues that the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow, and racial violence have shaped cultural understandings of the "great outdoors" and determined who should and can have access to natural spaces. Drawing on a variety of sources from film, literature, and popular culture, and analyzing different historical moments, including the establishment of the Wilderness Act in 1964 and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Finney reveals the perceived and real ways in which nature and the environment are racialized in America. Looking toward the future, she also highlights the work of African Americans who are opening doors to greater participation in environmental and conservation concerns."--

    Abstract: Nowadays, humanitarians find themselves constantly challenged by adverse conditions and questioned about their instrumentalisation through international stakeholders and local powerbrokers. Economic aspects such as the so-called ""contract fever"" and increasing convergence of humanitarian and political action have become common to almost all contemporary humanitarian emergencies. Aid organisations have multiplied in terms of financial and human resources, political weight and in numbers of single organisations. Thus the question emerges: Why is their action still characterised by a considerab

Retirement can be the best time of your life, but for couples, there's far more to it than cashing in on your 401(k).

This second edition of Translating Cultures retains its original aim of putting some rigour and coherence into these fashionable words and lays the foundation for such a discipline. This edition has not only been thoroughly revised, but it has also been expanded. In particular, a new chapter has been added which focuses specifically on training translators for translational and intercultural competencies. The core of the book provides a model for teaching culture to translators, interprete

This type of approach has seen a remarkable increase in popularity, and has implications for social, economic, and political organisations, as well as for the design of governing policies and strategies at local, regional, national, and eve

    Abstract: Dieser Band führt die Diskussionen weiter, die mit dem Paradigma der Medienbildung verbunden sind. Die einzelnen Beiträge stellen sich den Herausforderungen einer Gesellschaft, die im hohen Maße medial konstituiert ist, in der die Macht der Medien immer weiter zu wachsen scheint und in alle Lebensbereiche der Menschen eindringt. In dieser Weise werden Privatheit, Öffentlichkeit, Leben und Arbeiten medial durchdrungen, wie es bisher noch nicht der Fall war. Medien bieten jedoch auch eine unendliche Vielfalt für den Menschen, sich (neu) zu orientieren. Der Band spürt einigen Facetten nach.
