    Abstract: "This book re-visits how we think about communication and power in the global era. It takes stock of the last fifty years of scholarship, maps key patterns and concepts and sets an agenda for theory and research. The book addresses such questions as:How are national and cultural identities re-fashioned and expressed in the global era?How can we best understand the emergence of multiple and sometimes antagonistic modernities worldwide?How are political struggles fought and communicated on the local-national-global nexus? How do we integrate emerging media environments in global communication studies?Bringing together essays from a range of internationally renowned scholars, this book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students on Media and Communication Studies courses, particularly those studying globalisation and global media.Contributors: Hector Amaya Paula Chakravartty Andrew Crocco Myria Georgiou Le Han Anikó Imre Koichi Iwabuchi Marwan M.

    Abstract: While issues surrounding Muslim women are common in the international media, the voices of Muslim women themselves are largely absent from media coverage and despite the rapidly increasing presence of Muslim women in online groups and discussions, it is still a relatively unexplored topic.This book examines Muslim women in transnational online groups, and their views on education, culture, marriage, sexuality, work, dress-code, race, class and sisterhood. Looking at both egalitarian and traditionalist Muslim women's views, the author considers their interpretations of Islam and identifies a ne

    Abstract: Digitale Medien sind fester Bestandteil unseres Alltags geworden. Täglich kommen neue Geräte und Dienste auf den Markt. Während die junge Generation scheinbar mühelos mit diesen Medien umgeht, tragen sie bei Erwachsenen zu einer wachsenden Verunsicherung bei. Im Buch beschäftigen sich ausgewiesene ExpertInnen mit den Ursachen, den Auswirkungen und den Konsequenzen dieser Entwicklungen. Immer stärker drängen Jugendliche in die sozialen Netzwerke des Internets. Laut der JIM-Studie 2011 nutzen bereits über 70% der Jugendlichen Facebook. Intensiv genutzt werden auch andere Dienste wie Youtube, Twitter oder SchülerVZ. Damit erschließen sich Jugendliche Kommunikationsräume, die sich Eltern und "Erwachsenen" verschließen. Die AutorInnen setzen sich mit Veränderungen im gesellschaftlichen Kommunikationsverhalten auseinander und stellen positive Möglichkeiten im Umgang mit den neuen Medien für die Familie vor. Mit Praxisbeispielen werden Wege aufgezeigt, wie Familien Medienkompetenz erwerben können und wie Medienkompetenz im Bildungsbereich nachhaltig vermittelt werden kann.

    DDC: 303.48/33
    Keywords: Interpersonal communication Technological innovations ; Social aspects ; Communication and culture ; Mobile communication systems Social aspects
    Abstract: Overview: One of the most significant and obvious examples of how mobile communication influences our understanding of time and space is how we coordinate with one another. Mobile communication enables us to call specific individuals, not general places. Regardless of location, we are able to make contact with almost anyone, almost anywhere. This advancement has changed, and continues to change, human interaction. Now, instead of agreeing on a particular time well beforehand, we can iteratively work out the most convenient time and place to meet at the last possible moment-on the way to the meeting or once we arrive at the destination. This cutting-edge book deals with modern ways of thinking about communication and human interaction; it will illuminate the ways in which mobile communication alters our experience with space and time. In the few short decades since their commercial deployment, 5 billion people-about three-quarters of all humanity, including children-have become mobile phone users. Effects of this success are apparent everywhere, ranging from accident scenes and earthquake rescue efforts to demeanor in the classroom and at dinner tables. No one interested in the next generation of issues provoked by the mobile communication revolution will want to miss this important new collection of essays. The contributors' scope ranges across five continents and they address concerns at local, national, and international levels. This book provides a revealing picture of how people communicate using camera phones and other mobile multimedia devices. With such devices spreading faster than practically any other new technology, questions about how these devices are being used (and abused) to capture and distribute embarrassing or raunchy images and content, and what should be done about it, are surfacing. This volume presents the first detailed study of the use of these devices. This groundbreaking work will be a fascinating read for both multimedia device professionals and everyday users alike

    Abstract: Now little recognized by their neighbors, Southern Paiutes once had homelands that included much of the vast Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert. From the Four Corners' San Juan River to California's lower Colorado, from Death Valley to Canyonlands, from Capitol Reef to the Grand Canyon, Paiutes lived in many small, widespread communities. They still do, but the communities are fewer, smaller, and mostly deprived of the lands and resources that sustained traditional lives.To portray a people and the individuals who comprise it, William Logan Hebner and Michael L.

    Abstract: Scholars in the field of communication research have extensively studied television viewing in general and watching television news in particular. The book looks at the subject from an integrative theoretical perspective. Based on Schutzean sociology and action theoretical approaches to media use, the author argues that immediate social influences and other everyday life situations largely determine television use, and that the influence of short-term situational characteristics are often overlooked in person-centered explanatory models. In three empirical studies, the role of short-term situations and the influence of immediate social surroundings is analyzed. The use of Discrete Time Event History Analysis is an innovative way to look at household diary data. Findings reveal how family members influence each other in many ways. Watching television turns out to be an integral part of everyday life in the family, but also a force that may reduce family interaction. It is shown that television may serve as a surrogate for those family members that are not present, and that family members while present at home follow each others example. Partners are shown to mimic each other, children to mimic their parents, and parents follow the example set by their children. Television news viewing, in contrast to general television viewing is less determined by the immediate influence of others. Also, the individual motivations for news viewing vary throughout the day. First exposure to television news appears to be motivated by other factors than subsequent exposure. A need for 'surveillance' dominates first exposure, but subsequent exposure appears to be governed by other, more 'ritualistic' motivations. The book is important to scholars, graduate-level students and practitioners who are concerned with theoretical and methodological insights in the phenomenon of television viewing in everyday life.

    Abstract: This is the first major publication in the West to study modernity and its impact on contemporary Tibet. Based on field work by researchers from the fields of anthropology, sociology, environmental science, literature, art and linguistics, it presents essays on education, economics, childbirth, environment, caste, pop music, media and painting in Tibetan communities today. The findings emerge from studies carried out in Ladakh, Golok, Lhasa, Xining, Shigatse and other areas of the Tibetan world. It will provide important and sometimes surprising results for students of Tibet, China, Himalayan studies, as well as an important contribution to our understandings of modernity and development in the modern world

    Abstract: Turf Wars: Discourse, Diversity, and the Politics of Place is the fascinating story of an urban neighborhood undergoing rapid gentrification.Explores how members of a multi-ethnic, multi-class Washington, DC, community deploy language to legitimize themselves as community members while discrediting others.Discusses such issues as public toilets and public urination, the "morality" of co-ops and condos, and characterizations of "good" girls and "bad" boys.Draws on linguistic anthropology and discourse analysis to provide insight into the ways that local activity shapes larger urban social proce

    Keywords: Game theory ; Semiotics ; Communication and culture ; semiotics Communication studies ; game theory ; Electronic books ; Semiotik ; Kultur ; Spieltheorie
    Abstract: Main description: This study is a groundbreaking application of game theory to the semiotics of culture and communication. It shows that culture and communication are not merely means of integrating social actors, but primarily ways of distinguishing individuals who interact both competitively and cooperatively within society. Provocatively using the Darwinian idea of sexual selection, the author demonstrates how game theory enhances the semiotic understanding of culture and communication.
    Abstract: Biographical note: Eduardo Neiva, University of Alabama, Birmingham, USA.
    Abstract: Review text: Over the past twenty years the insights of semiotics have inspired and guided research across the whole spectrum of the humanities - from anthropology to queer theory, from literary history to film studies, from philosophy to art history. Yet with time the imbalances and fault lines within the original core of semiotic theory have also emerged, or half emerged. Neiva names and defines a set of problems that semiotics must finally resolve - before the whole engine runs out of steam. A daring, inventive, passionately original book, this is essential reading for everyone concerned with culture, signs, meanings, subjects. Norman Bryson Blending social history with evolutionary biology, Eduardo Neiva shows how sexual selection impacts cultural practice through complex communicative exchange. Debunking conventional explanations of cultural development, the author employs a massive body of evidence ranging from the bloody battlegrounds of ancient conflict to the technologically-driven terrain of contemporary life to fashion an intriguing argument.

    Abstract: Over the past thirty years the number of women assuming leadership roles has grown dramatically. This book identifies the challenges faced by women in positions of leadership, and discusses the intersection between theories of leadership and feminism. Examines models of feminist leadership, feminist influences on leadership styles and agendas, and the diversity of theoretical and ethnic perspectives of feminist leaders. Addresses how diverse women lead, how feminist principles contribute to leadership, and the barriers that women face as leaders. Transforms existing models of leadership by incorporating gender issues. Identifies the varying perspectives of feminist leaders from different ethnic groups. Looks towards the future of feminist leadership and what must be done to train and mentor the next generation of feminist leaders

    Abstract: Biographical note: Cliff Goddard, University of New England, Armidale NSW, Australia.
    Abstract: Main description: Using cultural scripts and semantic explications, the authors show how speech practices can be contextualised and understood in terms of the values, norms and beliefs of speakers themselves. These fascinating studies cover a gamut of culturally shaped ways of speaking from settings around the world – Australia, China, Colombia, Ghana, Japan, and Singapore. The book also serves as an introduction to powerful new techniques for pragmatic analysis which have emerged from 20 years of cross-linguistic semantic research. Key features: The book presents case studies from a diverse range of languages. It demonstrates how prevailing cultural attitudes, norms and beliefs can be modelled in a clear, precise and non-ethnocentric fashion.
    Abstract: Review text: "With this book, Cliff Goddard has overseen the production of a new milestone in the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach to meaning. [...] The approach is unique in research on pragmatics and culture - nowhere else do we find these kinds of explicit statements of cultural values in a desscriptive metalanguage whose degree of formalism rivals that of predicate calculus, and whose units are as close to directly expressible in [any) natural language as we can get."N.

    Abstract: Main description: Obwohl viele Forscher bisher kritisch auf die 1960 von Philippe Ariès entwickelten Thesen zur Geschichte der Kindheit eingegangen sind, bietet erst dieser Band eine umfassende, interdisziplinär angelegte, sowohl mentalitäts- als auch emotionsgeschichtlich orientierte Sammlung von Studien, die überzeugend nachweisen, wie sehr auch in der Vormoderne die Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern ein fundamentales Element der europäischen Gesellschaft gewesen ist.
    Abstract: Main description: Although many researchers have taken a critical stance towards the theses on the history of childhood developed by Philippe Ariès in 1960, this volume is the first comprehensive collection of studies with a psychological and emotional historical orientation to demonstrate convincingly the extent to which the relationship between parents and children was a fundamental element of European society in pre-modern times.

    Abstract: Review text: "[...] this is an anthology of substantial weight."Daniel T. Kline in: http://www.h-net.org/reviews10/2008 In short, this volume will certainly become an important reference for research on childhood and its perception in medieval and early modern society."Steven Vanderputten in: Mediaevistik 20/2007
    Abstract: Earlier theses on the history of childhood can now be laid to rest and a fundamental paradigm shift initiated, as there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that in medieval and early modern times too there were close emotional relations between parents and children. The contributors to this volume demonstrate conclusively on the one hand how intensively parents concerned themselves with their children in the pre-modern era, and on the other which social, political and religious conditions shaped these relationships. These studies in emotional history demonstrate how easy it is for a subjective choice of sources, coupled with faulty interpretations – caused mainly by modern prejudices toward the Middle Ages in particular – to lead to the view that in the past children were regarded as small adults. The contributors demonstrate convincingly that intense feelings – admittedly often different in nature – shaped the relationship between adults and children.

    Abstract: Main description: Gegenstand dieser sprach- und kulturgeschichtlich angelegten Studie ist die nationale Ideologisierung der deutschen Sprache von der Gründung der "Fruchtbringenden Gesellschaft" bis zum Ende des "Dritten Reiches". Im theoretischen Teil werden zunächst moderne Nations- und Nationalismuskonzepte diskutiert und Ethnizität, Geschichte und Sprache als relevante Dimensionen nationaler Identitätskonstruktion eingeführt. Mittels der linguistischen Diskursanalyse wird im historisch-systematischen Darstellungsteil ein zeitlich breit gestreutes Korpus sprachreflexiver Texte ausgewertet. Anders als bisherige Einzeluntersuchungen zum Thema verbindet diese Gesamtdarstellung den historischen Überblick über die Diskurslinien mit einer systematischen Zusammenschau wiederkehrender begrifflicher, metaphorischer und argumentativer Diskursmuster.

    Abstract: "Cultural Bodies: Ethnography and Theory" is a unique collection that integrates two increasingly key areas of social and cultural research: the body and ethnography. "The body" continues to be a central theme of debate and research across the humanities and social sciences and in subjects such as gender, race, identity, and science and technology. However, existing literature on the body has taken a largely theoretical direction. "Cultural Bodies" breaks new ground by refusing to neglect the experiential and the empirical. Bringing together an international and multidisciplinary team of scholars, "Cultural Bodies" draws on ethnography as a useful means of exploring our everyday social and cultural environments and, in doing so, demonstrates the constant need for researchers and their research to be made accountable to readers. In this way, ethnography reveals as much about the frameworks of social research as it does about the societies that they move in and out of. By focusing on the body and ethnography, "Cultural Bodies" constitutes an important step in developing these two key areas of study and the relationship between them

    Abstract: Die Kulturbetriebslehre befasst sich mit den vielfältigen Organisationsformen der Produktion, Distribution und Rezeption von Kulturgütern. Tasos Zembylas verfolgt systematisch die Frage nach der Konstitution von Kulturgütern und betont dabei die Bedeutung der Praxis (Regeln, Institutionen, Praktiken) bei der Entstehung von Werten, Präferenzen und Denkstilen. Kulturgüter sind Ergebnisse kollektiver Prozesse und somit "res publica". Präzise philosophische Argumentationen und zahlreiche praktische Beispiele schaffen die Basis für eine Repositionierung der kulturpolitischen und kulturökonomischen Diskussionen der Gegenwart

    Abstract: Der Ratgeber liefert einen leicht verständlichen Überblick über die komplizierten rechtlichen Regelungen, die für ehrenamtliche und bürgerschaftlich engagierte Tätigkeiten gelten. Bürgerschaftlich oder ehrenamtlich Tätige empfinden das Recht häufig als störend, die private Initiative hemmend, mit einem Wort: als bürokratische Fessel. An dieser Kritik ist viel Wahres, aber auch hier muss die andere Seite der Medaille gesehen werden: Wer das Recht kennt und es zu nutzen weiß, kann für das bürgerschaftliche Engagement viel gewinnen. Recht ist eben nicht nur die bürokratische Fessel, Recht hilft auch in vielen Lebenssituationen. Dies gilt gerade auch für das bürgerschaftliche Engagement.

    Abstract: This book describes the turbulent political history of Afghanistan from the communist upheaval of the 1970s through to the aftermath of the events of 11 September 2001. It reviews the importance of the region to external powers and explains why warfare and instability have been endemic. The author analyses in detail the birth of the Taliban and the bloody rise to power of fanatic Islamists, including Osama bin Laden, in the power vacuum following the withdrawal of US aid. Looking forward, Nojumi explores the ongoing quest for a third political movement in Afghanistan - an alternative to radical communists or fanatical Islamists and suggests the support that will be neccessary from the international community in order for such a movement to survive

    Abstract: Main description: Gegenstand der Untersuchung ist die Ermittlung von Zusammenhängen zwischen Sprache und Demokratie im Bereich der politischen Kommunikation und des politischen Wortschatzes in Deutschland zwischen dem Ende der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur und der Gründung der Bundesrepublik. Unter der übergreifenden Fragestellung nach Tradition und Neuanfang demokratischer Sprache in Deutschland nach 1945 gilt es, ideologische Sprachtraditionen seit der Paulskirche, aber auch ihre politikgeschichtlich zu begründenden Brüche in der Weimarer Republik und der NS-Diktatur zu ermitteln und den Beginn der politischen Gegenwartssprache in der Bundesrepublik sprachgeschichtlich zu verorten. Die Studien zu politischen Dialogsorten und politischem Wortschatz machen deutlich, daß die politische Kommunikation nach 1945 traditionelle Stränge wieder aufgriff, während im lexikalisch-semantischen Bereich ein Neuanfang gewagt wurde.
    Abstract: Main description: The book looks into the connections between language and democracy in the sphere of political communication and political vocabulary in Germany between the end of the National Socialist dictatorship and the foundation of the Federal Republic. From the overarching perspective of the relation between tradition and renewal of the language of democracy in post-war Germany, the study sets out first to investigate traditions of ideological diction since the first democratic assembly in St. Paul's Church in 1848, going on to examine the breaks with these traditions evidencing themselves in the Weimar Republic and the Nazi era and grounded in the history of German politics in the period in question. The other major concern is to identify and locate the inception of the modern-day political idiom in the Federal Republic in language-historical terms. Analyses of varieties of political dialogue and the political vocabulary show that after 1945 political communication took up traditional existing modes, whereas a break with tradition and a new start is discernible in the lexical/semantic field.

    Abstract: Classical images of state-socialism developed in contemporary social sciences were founded on simple presuppositions. State-socialist regimes were considered to be politically stable due to their pervasive institutional and ideological control over the everyday lives of their citizens, impervious to reform and change, and representative of extreme political and economic dependency. Despite their contrasting historical experiences, they have been treated as basically identical in their institutional design, social and economic structures, and policies. Grzegorz Ekiert challenges this notion in
