    Abstract: Amid the variety of human experiences, the comic occupies a distinctive place. It is simultaneously ubiquitous, relative, and fragile. In this book, Peter L. Berger reflects on the nature of the comic and its relationship to other human experiences. Originally published in 1997, the second edition includes a new preface reflecting on Berger's work in the intervening years, particularly on the relationship between humor and modernity.

    Abstract: This book provides a range of interdisciplinary and international perspectives on difficulties in literacy development. The high-profile team of contributors provide ethical and policy discussions, as well as contextualising individual and collective strategies to addressing difficulties in literacy development. The chapters break new ground by encompassing a wide range of perspectives related to critical literacy, socio-cultural, cognitive, and psychological viewpoints, to help inform practice, policy and research into literacy difficulties. Issues addressed include: *the different ways literacy can be conceptualised through social-science based disciplinary perspectives *the issues at the centre of current public and professional debates surrounding literacy difficulties and how these have impacted upon pedagogical responses *the impact of these wider political and social issues on individual students. This reader forms the basis of the Open University's Difficulties in Literacy Development course, but will also be of interest to postgraduate students, teachers, researchers, education professionals and policymakers who are keen to address difficulties in literacy development.

    Abstract: This volume is in part intended to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are now a generation on from its formulation, and, as this varied collection of articles by leading thinkers in the field reflects, children's rights have come a long way. Yet the aim of this volume is not to look back, but to take stock and look forward. It explores subjects as diverse as socio-economic rights, corporal punishment, language and scientific progress as they relate to children and their rights, and offers new insights and new ideas. Edited by one of the most respected and leading scholars in the field, The Future of Children's Rights constitutes a stimulating and useful resource for academics and practitioners alike.

    Abstract: The primary objective for this study was to conduct an empirical investigation to gather information in the form of data from adolescent males and females in the Pretoria region of South Africa. Information was gathered with respects to their level of physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, hostility and depression. The information was used to identify whether correlations exist between the three variables anger, aggression and depression for South African adolescents.   Auszug aus dem Text Text Sample: What does the literature have to say? Introduction: Anger is the most frequently expressed emotion in childhood; this emotion continues into adolescence. The onset of puberty generates more stimuli that provokes anger in teenagers; whether these stimuli pertain to the thwarting of desires, the interruption of activities in progress, fault-finding or teasing, they have the potential to create feelings of anger (Hurlock: 1987). Dr Saunders is of the opinion that anger stems from adolescent stress and is systemic to being an adolescent (Saunders: 1998). Anger remains an emotion; when the emotion translates into action it manifests as aggression. Mann (2012) adds that chronic anger has the potential to manifest as anxiety and depression. This is supported by the work of Booth (2010) who suggests that the duration of the anger episode has the greatest impact on our health. Anger that lasts longer has the most harmful effect, while anger that dissipates fairly quickly does less harm to our bodies. As feelings of anger spill over into action there are obvious consequences but failing to express anger can also create health problems. If an adolescent feels that they are unable to express their anger appropriately or they feel that they are prevented from expressing their anger; these situations can generate anxiety and ultimately depression. The...
    Abstract: research of Chen, Rubin & Li (1997) has indicated that early aggressive behaviour is a predictor for later academic difficulties. In addition, these early signs of aggression include lying, stealing, fighting and resisting authority; while they are rather common to childhood behaviour, in adolescence unusually early or aggressive sexual behaviour, excessive drinking and the use of illicit drugs are frequent (Kellerman: 1999). Violence often occurs in schools because of less opportunity for ist expression outside of the school environment (Guggenbuhl: 1996). It is purported that the tendency towards violence is a basic human instinct. If the school environment is no longer a 'safe' environment for pupils and teachers it is imperative that the potential for aggressive behaviour is sufficiently distributed among the teaching and parental population. Hollin, Browne & Palmer (2004) indicate that family factors are partly responsible for aggressive behaviour in adolescents; sociological and sociodemographic characteristics are crucial to predictive and protective factors. If anger is commonplace in the life of adolescents and a large number of these teenagers resort to violent behaviour while others internalise their frustration; where is the connection between the components of anger, aggression and depression, if indeed there is a connection. Aggressive behaviour takes different forms depending on the situation the adolescent is in but it remains a serious problem in society. Physical, verbal and indirect aggression is a common expression of the teenager's frustration but specific risk factors for aggression are present. The child's character, his home environment, relationships with his peers, his performance at school and social and community factors are instrumental in transforming anger into aggression. Boys tend to use direct physical or verbal
    Abstract: aggression more often than girls, while females use indirect forms of aggression predominantly (Hess & Hagen: 2005). Girls also have a tendency towards more intimate peer relations and more positive interactions with their teachers than their male counterparts (Bearman, Wheldall & Kemp: 2006). It would be prudent here to emphasize that not all aggression is bad. Reactive aggression is associated with negative emotionality, specifically anxiety and is related to frustration, while proactive aggression is associated with obtaining a desired goal (Card & Little: 2007). Anger: Children and adolescents with very poor social skills, in particular the angry, aggressive style have difficult imagining the thoughts and feelings of others. They often mistreat adults and peers without experiencing the guilt and remorse prompted by awareness of another's point of view (Chandler: 1973). Anger needs to be dealt with constructively to prevent it from manifesting as aggression (Saunders: 1998). Proposed methods for dealing with anger include waiting for the anger to subside before responding to the stimulus, attempts to identify the cause of the anger, trying to allow the anger to manifest in a calm manner and count to ten. Adolescence is a period in the child's life when dramatic changes are occurring; these changes result in altered perception of the world around them. The emotional peaks and troughs in an adolescent's life are well documented (Adams: 1995). Adolescents feel angry when their physical or social activities are prevented or in the case of an attack on their personalities, positions or status in society. An adolescent may display anger when he or she is criticised, embarrassed, underestimated, or ignored and perceive such situations as threats to his already extremely sensitive personality (Yazgan-Inanc, Bilgin & Atici: 2007). According to Eisenberg
    Abstract: and Delaney (1998), anger is a result of a person's personal appreciations and frustrations. Anger has three dimensions: physiological, social and cognitive, and behavioural and reaction. The physiological dimension of anger is related to a physiological change occurring in the body when an individual is exposed to a frustration or situation that increases anger (Kisac: 1997). The social and cognitive dimension explains the interpretation of perceived anger within an individual. The reasons for anger, fear and uneasiness are not related to the event itself, but rather to individual's perception and how they interpret the symbols in their minds: their cliché beliefs, comments and evaluations (Ozer: 2000). The behaviour and reaction dimension of anger is an expression of whether anger is expressed or not, and if it is how it is expressed (Kisac: 1997). Each of us experiences anger differently and expresses our anger in different manners, these can be defined as externalization, internalization or controlling (Spielberger: 1991). The adolescent experiences his anger as a social stimulus but others' personalities and behaviour may be triggers for anger in young people (Yazgan-Inanc et al: 1997). The problem with anger is, too many of us experience too much anger for too much time in our lives; this is when anger becomes a problem for us (Dahlen & Deffenbacher: 2001). Anger essentially comprises four key components; these components may occur separately but when they exist in conjunction the emotion of anger can become a real problem: The feeling of being angry - this feeling can range in intensity from mild annoyance to overpowering rage or fury. A bodily change - this physiological arousal is often caused by the release of adrenalin, which causes a range of reactions in our body (such as increased heart rate and blood pressure). A mental or cognitive
    Abstract: awareness - this sense that an event has occurred that threatens us is crucial in anger development. An effect on our behaviour - to feel real anger we need to express it in some manner, whether this is in an appropriate or inappropriate manner (Mann: 2012). It is common to confuse the idea of anger and aggression; anger remains an emotion while aggression is the action that can result from being very angry. The aggression is intended to cause physical or emotional harm, perhaps with verbal insults, threats, sarcasm or raised voices. When aggression becomes so extreme that we lose self-control, it is said that we are in a rage. The emotions connected to anger are not the problem; if we experience too much anger or express it in an inappropriate manner we can create problems for ourselves and for others. We experience anger for a number of reasons; anger in and of itself is not harmful and can be seen as a protective factor in cases. We feel anger when we need or want something outside of our reach. Researchers have suggested that anger is behaviour-regulating programmes that will help us acquire what we want or need in order to survive; our expression of anger can encourage the target of our anger to offer something that might reduce the likelihood of them suffering in any way from the angry outburst. This type of anger would probably not be tolerated with adolescents due to the inappropriate nature of ist use. Anger may also assist in preparing us for action. In a similar fashion to stress, anger sends signals throughout the body in preparation for the fight or flight response. Anger in this sense is essential to prepare us to take action against the perceived injustice against us. While our anger may prepare us to fight, this form of aggression is not socially acceptable. Anger also informs us when our rights have been violated; this heightened
    Abstract: awareness.

    Abstract: In the two decades before World War One, Great Britain witnessed the largest revival of anti-slavery protest since the legendary age of emancipation in the mid-nineteenth century. Rather than campaigning against the trans-Atlantic slave trade, these latter-day abolitionists focused on the so-called 'new slaveries' of European imperialism in Africa, condemning coercive systems of labor taxation and indentured servitude, as well as evidence of atrocities. A Civilized Savagery illuminates the multifaceted nature of British humanitarianism by juxtaposing campaigns against different forms of imperial labor exploitation in three separate areas: the Congo Free State, South Africa, and Portuguese West Africa. In doing so, Kevin Grant points out how this new type of humanitarianism influenced the transition from Empire to international government and the advent of universal human rights in subsequent decades.

    Abstract: Gay neighborhoods, like the legendary Castro District in San Francisco and New York's Greenwich Village, have long provided sexual minorities with safe havens in an often unsafe world. But as our society increasingly accepts gays and lesbians into the mainstream, are "gayborhoods" destined to disappear? Amin Ghaziani provides an incisive look at the origins of these unique cultural enclaves, the reasons why they are changing today, and their prospects for the future. Drawing on a wealth of evidence--including census data, opinion polls, hundreds of newspaper reports from across the United States, and more than one hundred original interviews with residents in Chicago, one of the most paradigmatic cities in America--There Goes the Gayborhood? argues that political gains and societal acceptance are allowing gays and lesbians to imagine expansive possibilities for a life beyond the gayborhood. The dawn of a new post-gay era is altering the character and composition of existing enclaves across the country, but the spirit of integration can coexist alongside the celebration of differences in subtle and sometimes surprising ways. Exploring the intimate relationship between sexuality and the city, this cutting-edge book reveals how gayborhoods, like the cities that surround them, are organic and continually evolving places. Gayborhoods have nurtured sexual minorities throughout the twentieth century and, despite the unstoppable forces of flux, will remain resonant and revelatory features of urban life.

    Abstract: Knowledge and Discourse presents an ecological approach to the study of discourse in social, academic and professional practices. It brings together distinguished scholars from diverse cultures - India, China, Australia, Canada among others - and disciplines - linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy. The chapters collectively illustrate the ecological approach by exploring how language makes connections between subjective experiences as people construct meaning and action. This book offers the reader a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of language as discourse, questioning traditional views of disciplinary knowledge and the role of discourse in the pursuit, construction and compartmentalisation of such knowledge. Through the variety of disciplines, experiences and approaches, the contributors show how the world and word are contingent on each other. The notions of connectivity, contingency and change are themes that run through the book, and in the interweaving of these themes readers will find persuasive illustrations of an ecological approach to applied linguistics.

    Abstract: Misunderstanding is a pervasive phenomenon in social life, sometimes with serious consequences for people's life chances. Misunderstandings are especially hazardous in high-stakes events such as job interviews or in the legal system. In unequal power encounters, unsuccessful communication is regularly attributed to the less powerful participant, especially when those participants are members of an ethnic minority group. But even when communicative events are not prestructured by participants' differential positions in social hierarchies, misunderstandings occur at different levels of interactional and social engagement. Misunderstanding in Social Life examines such problematic talk in ordinary conversation and different institutional settings, including socializing events and story tellings, education and assessment activities, and interviews in TV news broadcasts, employment agencies, legal settings, and language testing. The analyzed interactions are located in a variety of sociocultural environments and conducted in a range of languages, including English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, such language varieties as Aboriginal Australian English and Maori New Zealand English, and nonnative varieties. The original studies included in this volume adopt a variety of theoretical perspectives, including discourse-pragmatic approaches, conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, social constructionism, tropological and narrative analysis. They represent multiple views of misunderstanding as a multilayered discourse event.

    Abstract: This book investigates the anti-Semitic foundations of Nazi curricula for elementary schools, with a focus on the subjects of biology, history, and literature. Gregory Paul Wegner argues that any study of Nazi society and its values must probe the education provided by the regime. Schools, according to Wegner, play a major role in advancing ideological justifications for mass murder, and in legitimizing a culture of ethnic and racial hatred. Using a variety of primary sources, Wegner provides a vivid account of the development of Nazi education.

    Abstract: Die jüngsten Beispiele von Gesetzesverstößen in der deutschen Wirtschaft und die entsprechende Ahndung durch staatliche Aufsichtsbehörden sowie durch die Berichterstattung der Medien zeigen, dass Gesetzestreue - Compliance - von hohem Stellenwert und aktueller Brisanz ist. Durch die Berichterstattung in den traditionellen wie auch in den Neuen Medien und die entsprechend schnellere Informationsverarbeitung erfährt die Öffentlichkeit zum einen zügiger und erhält zum anderen detaillierter Informationen über Gesetzesverstöße.Wertorientierte Unternehmensführung und -steuerung hingegen kristallisiert sich als immer bedeutender für große wie auch mittelständische Unternehmen heraus.Das vorliegende Buch behandelt vor dem Hintergrund der Corporate Compliance Problematik die Frage, welche mögliche Auswirkung sowohl die Nichtbeachtung von Recht und Gesetz als auch die Einhaltung von geltendem Recht auf den Wert eines Unternehmens hat. Daraus ergibt sich im Zusammenhang mit vorhergehenden Ausführungen die Fragestellung, ob Corporate Compliance als Teilelement wertorientierter Unternehmenssteuerung anzusehen ist. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2.3.3.1, Organisatorische Eingliederung und Aufgaben eines Compliance Bereichs:Eine Compliance Struktur ist Bestandteil einer Compliance Organisation. Die Verantwortung für eine Compliance Struktur liegt bei der Unternehmensleitung. Je nach Größe und Komplexität des Unternehmens wird ableitend die organisatorische Struktur eines Compliance Bereichs bestimmt und entsprechende Zuständigkeiten delegiert.Ausgangspunkt für die Errichtung einer Compliance Struktur und erste Überlegungen diesbezüglich liegen in der Rechtsabteilung. Als Teil der Compliance Struktur gilt zudem, zumindest für große Unternehmen, eine interne Revision.Ein Compliance Officer (auch als Compliance Beauftragter oder Compliance Manager...
    Abstract: bezeichnet) wird - meist in Form einer Stabsfunktion unabhängig von der Rechtsabteilung - benannt als 'Informationssammelstelle' und stellt im Ergebnis den verlängerten Arm der Unternehmensleitung dar. Diese Funktion kann in größeren Unternehmen auch von einem Compliance Office wahrgenommen werden. Durch Einrichtung einer Stabsfunktion wird der Berichtsweg an die Geschäftsleitung klar definiert. Die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen unternehmensinternen Abteilungen, wie z. B. der Revision oder dem Controlling ist von Bedeutung im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau einer Compliance Struktur. Darüber hinaus kann ein sogenanntes Compliance Committee im Unternehmen gebildet werden, dessen Zusammensetzung variieren und aus dem Compliance Officer, Mitgliedern der Unternehmensleitung und beispielsweise Mitarbeitern der Rechtsabteilung, der operativen Unternehmensbereiche oder der Revision bestehen kann. Neben diesen Verortungsmöglichkeiten eines Compliance Bereichs besteht die Alternative der Einbindung externer Compliance Berater. Der Compliance Bereich kann - falls eine größere Organisation damit verbunden ist - zentral oder dezentral organisiert werden.Ein Compliance Bereich ist mit vielfältigen Aufgaben betraut. Zum einen sorgt eine solche Compliance Struktur dafür, dass die Unternehmensleitung bei der Durchsetzung und Überwachung der Corporate Compliance beraten und unterstützt wird. Hierbei gilt, eine Compliance Organisation zu implementieren, zu dokumentieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Außerdem unterstützt die Compliance Organisation die Geschäftsleitung bei der Information und Training aller Unternehmensangehörigen hinsichtlich Compliance. Zeitgerechte Ad- hoc- Berichterstattung an die Geschäftsführung über wesentliche Veränderungen der rechtlichen Situation im Unternehmen, Feststellung und Untersuchung von schwerwiegenden Verletzungen der Compliance und
    Abstract: entsprechende Aufklärung bilden weitere Komponenten des Aufgabenbereichs. Des Weiteren hat die Compliance Organisation die Aufgabe, die Einhaltung der Compliance Vorgaben zu überwachen und durchzusetzen. Ein Compliance Bereich steht auch intern als Kontaktpartner in Compliance Fragen zur Verfügung und stellt den ersten Ansprechpartner für externe Interessenten in Compliance relevanten Fragestellungen dar.Die Erfüllung der immer größer werdenden Anzahl von internen und externen Anforderungen an ein Unternehmen muss durch geeignete Maßnahmen sichergestellt werden. Das folgende Kapitel geht dabei auf eine Auswahl der wesentlichen Instrumente einer sogenannten Compliance Organisation ein, die von Unternehmen und dem entsprechenden Compliance Bereich eingesetzt werden können, um Corporate Compliance im Unternehmen zu etablieren. Biographische InformationenTina Mußtopf, MBA wurde 1987 in Schkeuditz geboren.

    Abstract: Das Buch ‚Partizipation von Jugendlichen - ein Kinderspiel?' ist in einer Kooperation von Julia Verena Köffer (Sozialwirtschaft B.A., Jugendhilfe M.A.) mit Simon Schnetzer (Dipl. Volkswirt), Geschäftsführer von ‚DATAJOCKEY: Social Research & Dialogue', entstanden. Im Rahmen der Kooperation wurde das Jugendforschungs- und Beteiligungsprojekt 'junge Deutsche' mit Methoden der Qualitativen Sozialforschung ausgewertet. Erkenntnisinteresse der Auswertung war die Beantwortung der Frage: Wie müssen kommunale Beteiligungsprozesse gestaltet werden, um erfolgreich zu sein? Für die qualitative Studie wurden im Zeitraum von Juni bis August 2013 mündliche Befragungen in Form von ExpertInneninterviews und Gruppendiskussionen mit TeilnehmerInnen des Projektes 'junge Deutsche' durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser mündlichen Befragungen wurden anhand einer Qualitativen Analyse aufbereitet und stellten die Grundlage, für die von den Autoren entwickelten Handlungsempfehlungen für Beteiligungsprozesse von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum dar. Um diese Handlungsempfehlungen in einen Kontext zu stellen, wird in Teil 1 des Buches auf die Partizipation Jugendlicher als Handlungsmaxime von Jugendarbeit eingegangen. Im zweiten Teil werden die Rahmenbedingungen der Partizipation junger Menschen im kommunalen Raum dargestellt. Zum einen wird mit dem vorliegenden Buch die Intention verfolgt einen Überblick über das Feld der Partizipation Heranwachsender in der Kommune zu geben. Zum anderen kann mit den Handlungsempfehlungen für Beteiligungsprozesse im kommunalen Raum zur Beantwortung der Frage, wie die Partizipation junger Menschen in ihrem Wohnumfeld gelingen kann, beigetragen werden. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2, Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum:Der zweite Teil des vorliegenden Buches geht näher auf die Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen...
    Abstract: Raum ein. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Schwerpunkt auf die Gestaltung von Beteiligungsprozessen im Lebensumfeld junger Menschen gelegt. Zu diesem Zweck wird zu Beginn in Kapitel 2.1 aus verschiedenen Perspektiven begründet, warum die Partizipation in der Kommune nicht ausschließlich einen Selbstzweck verfolgt, sondern sowohl den jungen Menschen selbst als auch den Kommunen nützt.2.1, Begründungszusammenhänge:Argumente für die Partizipation von jungen Menschen im kommunalen Raum finden sich in verschiedenen Fachdiskursen: unter anderem in der Rechtswissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft oder der Pädagogik. Im ersten Teil dieser Veröffentlichung wurde aus dem Blickwinkel der Rechtswissenschaft argumentiert, warum die Partizipation junger Menschen an sie betreffenden Angelegenheiten notwendig ist. An dieser Stelle wird die Bedeutsamkeit der Beteiligung Heranwachsender in der Kommune zuerst aus politischer Sichtweise und schließlich aus pädagogischer Perspektive begründet. Diese beiden Zugänge spielen im Kontext dieser Untersuchung eine besondere Rolle, da sich das Handlungsfeld Jugendarbeit genau in ihrer Schnittmenge befindet (vgl. Moser 2010, S. 87). Vollständigkeitshalber wird zum Abschluss dieses Kapitels noch auf Gegenargumente der Partizipation junger Menschen in ihrem Lebensumfeld eingegangen.2.1.1, Politische Argumente:Gemäß dem partizipatorischen Demokratieverständnis ist Partizipation die aktive Praxis der Demokratie (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 68). Dieses Verständnis will die Beteiligung möglichst Vieler an möglichst Vielem - sprich '(…) an der Erörterung, Aushandlung und Entscheidung möglichst vieler öffentlicher Angelegenheiten' (Koopmann 2008, S. 5). Dadurch sollen die Legitimität, Stabilität und Regierbarkeit des demokratischen Systems erhöht werden. Dieses Steuerungssystem ist als 'Good Governance' (ebd.) bekannt und
    Abstract: zeichnet sich neben Transparenz und Kooperation, wesentlich durch die Stärkung der Bürgerschaft im Sinne von Empowerment (siehe 1.3.3) aus. Dieser Ansatz ist mit dem idealtypischen BürgerInnenbild der 'citoyens' (Koopmann 2008, S. 5) verbunden: Der Bürgerschaft, die aktiv und eigenverantwortlich am Gemeinwesen teilnimmt und dieses mitgestaltet (vgl. ebd.). Nach dem 'Dreiklang' der Bürgerarbeit ist die Voraussetzung für die Beteiligung von BürgerInnen allerdings, dass sie es wollen, können und dürfen (vgl. Gernbauer 2008, S. 17). Damit Heranwachsende überhaupt die Chance bekommen diesem Ideal gerecht zu werden, müssen die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen, in Form von personellen, finanziellen und zeitlichen Ressourcen für Partizipation seitens der Kommunen geschaffen werden (vgl. Koopmann 2008, S. 5). Dadurch könnte der Partizipation Jugendlicher an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen sogar ein präventiver Charakter zugesprochen werden: Durch ihre Beteiligung wird jungen Menschen die Möglichkeit gegeben ihre Meinungen, Interessen und Ängste zu formulieren. Folglich können die Bedürfnisse der jungen Generation besser abgebildet, in Bedarfe umformuliert und politische Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozesse optimiert werden. Diese effiziente Steuerung kann die Jugendhilfeplanung einer Kommune verbessern, trägt zur Kinder- und Jugendfreundlichkeit bei und steigert unter dem Strich die Attraktivität eines Standortes (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37 ff.).2.1.2, Pädagogische Argumente:Die Entwicklung von Selbstständigkeit gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Trends, wie der Individualisierung oder Pluralisierung von Lebensformen, immer mehr an Bedeutung. Um diese Fähigkeit zu erlernen, müssen junge Menschen Freiräume zugestanden bekommen, in denen sie sich ausprobieren und in unsere Gesellschaft einbringen können (vgl. Moser 2010, S.
    Abstract: 90). Eine Möglichkeit Freiräume zu gewähren ist die Beteiligung Jugendlicher an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen. Da Partizipation als ein zentraler Faktor in der Entwicklung von Selbst-, Sozial- und Methodenkompetenzen gesehen werden kann und somit zu gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung und der Steigerung des Selbstwertgefühls führt, kann sie als ein erfolgreiches Integrationsinstrument bezeichnet werden (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37). Gemäß dem Gedanken des Empowermentansatzes, die Autonomie und Selbstbestimmung junger Menschen zu fördern, ist die Beteiligung von Jugendlichen an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen obligatorisch. Damit junge Menschen mit ihrer Freiheit adäquat umgehen können, müssen sie jedoch dazu befähigt werden. Die 'Krux' dabei ist, dass die Erziehenden bei der Gewährung von Freiräumen stets vor dem - für pädagogische Prozesse klassischen - Dilemma stehen '(…) Kindern und Jugendlichen als ExpertInnen ihrer selbst partnerschaftlich zu begegnen und sie gleichzeitig vor Überforderungen zu schützen' (Moser 2010, S. 90). Partizipationsmodelle, die versuchen mit diesem Paradox umzugehen, fordern die Mündigkeit von Heranwachsenden heraus, indem sie ihnen Freiräume bieten, in denen sie selbstbestimmt handeln können. Wenn diese Voraussetzungen gegeben sind, verfolgt Partizipation nicht nur einen Selbstzweck, sondern dient auch dem Gemeinwesen: Denn wenn junge Menschen als ExpertInnen in eigener Sache ernst genommen werden, können sie Erwachsenen bei der Bewältigung gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen und der Entwicklung innovativer Lösungsansätze im kommunalen Raum behilflich sein. Dadurch kann zum Dialog der Generationen angestiftet, Konflikte minimiert und das Gemeinwesen belebt werden (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37 ff.).2.1.3, Gegenargumente:In den vorangegangenen zwei Kapiteln wurde die
    Abstract: Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum aus politischer und pädagogischer Perspektive begründet. Diese Argumentationsstränge können als Chancen kommunaler Beteiligungsprozesse junger Menschen gesehen werden. Doch die Forderung nach der Beteiligung junger Menschen in ihrem Wohnumfeld stößt in ihrer Umsetzung auch an ihre Grenzen. Zwei besonders relevante Gegenargumente werden an dieser Stelle kurz dargestellt, um verständlich zu machen, warum Partizipation ihrem Anspruch in der Praxis oftmals nicht gerecht wird:Als eine Grenze kommunaler Beteiligungsprozesse junger Menschen kann der Umstand bezeichnet werden, dass Heranwachsende in der Praxis oftmals nicht als Subjekte, sondern als Objekte, demokratischer Entscheidungen gesehen werden (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 64). Dieses Muster ist in gewisser Weise paternalistisch: Denn Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten, die BürgerInnen sanft stimmen sollen, anstatt sie zu emanzipieren, nennt Reimer Gronemeyer 'apathische Partizipation' (Gronemeyer 1973). Diese Art der Partizipation ist in der Praxis nach wie vor auf allen Ebenen - von der Europäischen Union bis zu Lokalpolitik - weit verbreitet. Apathische Partizipation verfolgt das Ziel Heranwachsende in gegebene Strukturen einzufügen. Dadurch wird die politische Praxis nicht hinsichtlich Zugangsbarrieren für junge Menschen hinterfragt, sondern lediglich in ein gutes Licht gerückt (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 65). In solchen Partizipationsmodellen kann folglich eher von Scheinpartizipation als von emanzipatorischer Partizipation gesprochen werden.Eine weitere Grenze der Partizipation junger Menschen im kommunalen Raum ist die Kritik am Steuerungssystem Good Governance. Diese Kritik geht davon aus, dass die Partizipation möglichst Vieler an möglichst Vielem zur Unregierbarkeit des Gemeinwesens führt. Demnach würde die Beteiligung junger

    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: Manufacturing companies including a local micro-enterprise - Quality Postform Ltd are persistently facing competitive pressures as a consequence of customers demanding higher quality products. The emergence of Quality Management has been attributed by many researchers and Quality Gurus including Phil Crosby as a strategic imperative for typical organisations to survive within a highly competitive environment. Nevertheless, research carried out throughout the past years is relatively restricted regarding the practicality of micro-manufacturing firms in implementing Crosby's Quality Improvement Programme, which is claimed to be highly beneficial in typical situations. This dissertation seeks to investigate this scenario from both a descriptive and critical perspective towards Quality Postform Ltd. The research provides a critical evaluation of the academic contributions towards the quality management concept. Distinct disputed viewpoints have been identified focusing on Crosby's 14-Step Quality Improvement Programme. From one end of the spectrum, supporters uphold that claimed benefits have been acknowledged. Alternatively, others sustain that in essence a Quality Improvement Programme is counter-productive in terms of its application within Small and Medium sized Enterprises. However the researcher has identified four key pre-requisites in order for micro-firms to effectively implement Crosby's programme. These include: management commitment, the acknowledgement of a quality problem, the organisation's readiness to embrace change together with the suppliers' readiness to support the quality programme. The methodology applied to assess the presence of these four pre-requisites at QPL was to compile primary, qualitative data through one-to-one / face-to-face interviews with key management officials. This approach is justified due to the absence of...
    Abstract: formalised documentation and as a result, it is imperative to assess that historical data on Quality Systems is seriously lacking at QPL. The field research outcome reveals that QPL's management is experiencing serious doubts regarding the feasibility and practicality of the program's implementation within a micro-manufacturing firm. This is the case primarily whenever the latter is facing limited financial and human resource capabilities such as at QPL. The research findings disclose that none of the four pre-requisites are present within this micro-firm. Moreover it confirms the scepticism on the part of specific scholars regarding quality management programmes that micro-firms fail to afford such initiatives. Thus, it transpires that a distinct approach towards Quality Management within small business is more appropriate.   Auszug aus dem Text Text Sample: Chapter 1.1, Research Preamble: The underlying objective of business concerns is to deliver quality via superior and sustainable quality value systems (Goetsch and Davis, 2010). Within the contemporary business setting, QM appears to be no longer a competitive weapon in the arsenal of established organisations, but a prerequisite for survival (Haksever 1996). The emergence of the TQM concept has been acclaimed as the cure to un-competitiveness in abundant number of cases. Philip Crosby's 14-step programme is acclaimed to be the catalyst of quality improvement. These views seek to simplify the definition of quality in a business context as firms struggle to implement quality improvement programmes especially in the manufacturing sector were complex factors come into play such as sophisticated production machinery, technical and staff knowledge and skills, integrated information technology software systems, regional and organizational cultures and the size of the firm itself. Literature
    Abstract: indicates that insufficient empirical studies have been undertaken in relation to the systematic implementation of Philip Crosby's model within the wider context of EU based micro-organisations - the later representing 92% (see Appendix 1). Empirical evidence on outcomes regarding the implementation of the Crosby model is rather constrained. Thus, the researcher was motivated to fill this research gap by insightfully investigating a wide range of aspects within this arena. The researcher within the capacity of the GM of a micro-manufacturing firm, recognised the need to evaluate the applicability of Crosby's 14-step Quality Improvement Programme. This is especially the case in a local context, where this industry sector represents 96% of all organisations, employing 40.3% of the Maltese workforce (see Appendix 1). Competitive pressures are presenting challenges to micro -organisations, which far outnumber other business structures within the comprehensive EU industry (see Appendix 1). Quality Postform Limited (QPL), is persistently facing typical problems apparently due to quality, or as Crosby (1979) defines it, conformance to customer requirements. As General Manager (GM) of QPL, the researcher appreciates that quality is a critical factor for sustained success. This is qualified in the dissertation title. The researcher is focusing on Crosby's model by identifying such shortfalls and addressing success attributes to a list of prerequisites for implementation. Moreover, one has likewise to assess the extent of their presence within QPL. Subsequently, this research will serve to evaluate QPL, and it's potential in the practical application of Crosby's Model. The outcomes could be potentially relevant to alternative Maltese micro-firms.

    Abstract: Frauen werden in Printmedien unterschiedlich dargestellt und abgebildet. Dieses Buch vergleicht drei Frauenzeitschriften im Hinblick auf die Darstellung und Ästhetik von Frauenbildern. Die untersuchten Zeitschriften („Elle", „Freundin" und „Frau im Trend") sprechen unterschiedliche soziale Schichten an und erlauben so einen vertikalen Milieuvergleich.Die Klassifizierung und Analyse des Bildmaterials erfolgt aus soziologischer Sichtweise mittels eines eigens entwickelten Kriterienkataloges. So können acht verschiedene Bildtypen herausgearbeitet werden. Die Untersuchung zeigt, inwiefern weibliche Schönheit, Ästhetik und Fotografie in den drei an Bourdieu angelehnten Schichten unterschiedlich ausgeformt wird und welche Ursachen der unterschiedlichen Ausformung unterliegen. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2.1.6.1, Schönheit = Begehrt sein:Schöne Frauen, und Männer, wecken (sexuelles) Begehren, weil sie so schön sind. Weil sie etwas Besonderes sind. Wir alle möchten Schönes und Besonderes um uns haben. Schöne Partner sind eine Zierde und ein Schmuck für den anderen und lassen ihn ein wenig an der Schönheit teilhaben.Beim Rational Choice Ansatz ist sie ein mögliches Attribut, was beispielsweise Armut ausgleichen kann. (Reicher, eventuell auch alter, nicht schöner Mann heiratet junge, schöne, aber arme Frau.) Dieses Schema wird traditionell in den Märchen verschiedener Epochen und Kulturen verwendet und findet sich noch heute in einer Vielzahl Liebesfilme wieder ('Pretty Woman'). Die, die begehrt werden befinden sich in der 'strukturell schwächeren Objektrolle'. Das heißt, das 'Gut', welches die strukturell schwächeren mitbringen ist immer auch Schönheit. Die strukturell Stärkeren brauchen diese 'Krücke' nicht, da sie andere Güter besitzen, begehren aber die strukturell schwächeren Personen ob ihrer Schönheit.2.1.6.2, Schönheit macht Schweres...
    Abstract: leicht:Ob nun im Berufsleben oder als Retterin in der Not, gutes Aussehen hilft oftmals weiter. Wie bereits oben genannt, erleichtert Schönheit den sozialen Aufstieg, in dem es als eine Art Gut in der Sozialökonomie eingesetzt werden kann, sie ist gewissermaßen die Ware, um die gefeilscht wird.2.1.6.3, Schönheit als Verwindung des Schweren:Das Ergebnis, die Schönheit, lässt vergessen, was alles nötig war und ist, um sie zu erreichen (Diäten, Operationen, Sport...). Sie entschädigt quasi für die Mühen, die zum Erreichen derselben notwendig waren.2.1.6.4,Schönheit als Versuchung zu Hochmut und Kälte:Schönheit hat nicht nur Vorteile. Die - erstaunlich vielen - Nachteile vor allem der ganz besonders Schönen sollen nicht unerwähnt bleiben.In Märchen kommen nicht nur die strukturell schwächeren und 'guten' Schönen vor, sondern es gibt stets eine negative 'Gegenkraft', oft in Form von Stiefmüttern oder Hexen. Diese 'bösen' Frauen werden manchmal als abstoßend hässlich, oder aber als kühle, um nicht zu sagen kalte, und wunderschöne Frauen dargestellt (Eiskönigin). Gefühlskalt, asozial, grausam, herrschsüchtig, neidisch und missgünstig lauten die wenig schmeichelhaften Attribute. Gut aussehende Frauen genießen die oben genannten Vorteile der Schönheit und werden sogar oft besser eingeschätzt, als sie tatsächlich sind; bei den extrem schönen Frauen kehrt sich vieles davon ins Negative um. So haben sie es aufgrund von Neid und Eifersucht schwer, Freundschaften mit Frauen zu schließen und zu erhalten, aber mit Männern ist es auch prekär. Die Frauen haben das Gefühl, nur wegen ihres Aussehens begehrt und nicht um ihrer selbst willen geliebt zu werden. Ebenso ist es mit beruflichem Erfolg, er wird von Dritten oft nur dem Aussehen der Frau zugesprochen, nicht ihrer Kompetenz. Zumal besonders den schönen Frauen eher unterdurchschnittliche Intelligenz nachgesagt
    Abstract: wird. Wenn die Beauties altern und ihre Schönheit trotz Gegenmaßnahmen irgendwann nachlässt, kann ein regelrechter Zusammenbruch des sozialen Umfeldes erfolgen.

    Abstract: Mark J.P. Wolf's study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds-which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature-are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer's Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation's relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.

    Abstract: As Tony Blair has said, "Technology has revolutionised the way we work and is now set to transform education. Children cannot be effective in tomorrow's world if they are trained in yesterday's skills." Cyberkids draws together research in the sociology of childhood and social studies of technology to explore children's experiences in the Information Age. The book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, children's identities and friendships in on-line and off-line worlds and their relationships with families and teachers. It counters contemporary moral panics about children's risk from dangerous strangers on-line, about corruption and lost innocence from adult-centred material on the web and about the addiction to life on the screen. Instead, by showing how children use ICT in balanced and sophisticated ways, the book draws out the importance of everyday uses of technology and the ways in which children's local experiences are embedded within, and in part, constitute the global.

He then traces some serious and recurrent internal problems to the commitment to difficult Pietist beliefs about authority and obedience. The organization survived those troubles and its impact on Ghana continued to grow, because the same biblical worldview that demanded extreme discipline also prepared the members of the mission community to sustain their efforts.

    Abstract: Sexuality and the Politics of Violence offers a timely and critical exploration of issues of safety and security at the centre of responses to violence. Through a multi-disciplinary analysis, drawing on feminism, lesbian and gay studies, sociology, cultural geography, criminology and critical legal scholarship, the book offers to transform the way we understand and respond to the challenges raised by violence. It breaks new ground in its examination of the rhetoric and politics of violence, property, home, cosmopolitanism and stranger danger in the generation of safety and security. Using interviews, focus groups and surveys with lesbians and gay men, Sexuality and the Politics of Violence draws upon 'real life' experiences of safety and security. It raises some fundamental challenges to the law and order politics of existing scholarship and activism on homophobic hate crime.

    Abstract: In July 2010, Terry Jones, the pastor of a small fundamentalist church in Florida, announced plans to burn two hundred Qur'ans on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Though he ended up canceling the stunt in the face of widespread public backlash, his threat sparked violent protests across the Muslim world that left at least twenty people dead. In Terrified, Christopher Bail demonstrates how the beliefs of fanatics like Jones are inspired by a rapidly expanding network of anti-Muslim organizations that exert profound influence on American understanding of Islam. Bail traces how the anti-Muslim narrative of the political fringe has captivated large segments of the American media, government, and general public, validating the views of extremists who argue that the United States is at war with Islam and marginalizing mainstream Muslim-Americans who are uniquely positioned to discredit such claims. Drawing on cultural sociology, social network theory, and social psychology, he shows how anti-Muslim organizations gained visibility in the public sphere, commandeered a sense of legitimacy, and redefined the contours of contemporary debate, shifting it ever outward toward the fringe. Bail illustrates his pioneering theoretical argument through a big-data analysis of more than one hundred organizations struggling to shape public discourse about Islam, tracing their impact on hundreds of thousands of newspaper articles, television transcripts, legislative debates, and social media messages produced since the September 11 attacks. The book also features in-depth interviews with the leaders of these organizations, providing a rare look at how anti-Muslim organizations entered the American mainstream.

    Abstract: On the basis of a world-wide convenience sample of 116 languages, the distribution of zero-marking of spatial relations over the languages of the world is shown to largely escape any genetically, areally and/or typologically based constraints. The main goal of this book is to firmly establish the cross-linguistic occurrence of the zero-marking of spatial relations and to provide a framework for its study in terms of economy and predictability.

    Abstract: Tsenhor was born about 550 BCE in the city of Thebes (Karnak). She died some sixty years later, having lived through the reigns of Amasis II, Psamtik III, Cambyses II, Darius I and perhaps even Psamtik IV. By carefully retracing the events of her life as they are recorded in papyri now kept in museums in London, Paris, Turin, and Vienna, the author creates the image of a proud and independent businesswoman who made her own decisions in life. Like her father and husband, Tsenhor could be hired to bring offerings to the dead in the necropolis on the west bank of the Nile. For a fee of course, and that is how her family acquired high-quality farm land on more than one occasion. But Tsenhor also did other business on her own, such as buying a slave and co-financing the reconstruction of a house that she owned together with her husband. When Tsenhor decided to divide her inheritance, her son and daughter each received an equal share. Even the papyri proving her children's rights to her inheritance were cut to equal size, as if to underline that in her household boys and girls had exactly the same rights. Tsenhor seems in many ways to have been a liberated woman, some 2,500 years before the concept was invented. Embedded in the history of the first Persian occupation of Egypt, and using many sources dealing with ordinary women from the Old Kingdom up to and including the Coptic era, this book aims to for ever change the general view on women in ancient Egypt, which is far too often based on the lives of Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and Cleopatra.

    Abstract: Thomas S. Kuhn coined the term "paradigm shift" in 1962, and since then, it has taken on discursive power beyond the realm of the philosophy of science. This work's examination of the cultural applications of the "paradigmatic" helps us to achieve a more precise understanding of the different ways that the term has been used.

    Abstract: Family-related migration is moving to the center of political debates on migration, integration, and multiculturalism in Europe. Still, strands of academic research on family migrations and migrant families remain separate from-and sometimes ignorant of-each other. This volume seeks to bridge the disciplinary divide. Collectively, the authors address the need to better understand the diversity of family-related migration and its resulting family forms and practices, to question simplistic assumptions about migrant families in public discourse, to study family migration from a mix of disciplinary perspectives, and to acknowledge the state's role in shaping family-related migration, practices, and lives.

    Abstract: A companion to Andrew F. Smith's critically acclaimed and popular Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine, this volume recounts the individuals, ingredients, corporations, controversies, and myriad events responsible for America's diverse and complex beverage scene. Smith revisits the country's major historical momentscolonization, the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, the temperance movement, Prohibition, and its repealand he tracks the growth of the American beverage industry throughout the world. The result is an intoxicating encounter with an often overlooked aspect of American culture and global influence. Americans have invented, adopted, modified, and commercialized tens of thousands of beverageswhether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, carbonated or caffeinated, warm or frozen, watery or thick, spicy or sweet. These include uncommon cocktails, varieties of coffee and milk, and such iconic creations as Welch's Grape Juice, Coca-Cola, root beer, and Kool-Aid. Involved in their creation and promotion were entrepreneurs and environmentalists, bartenders and bottlers, politicians and lobbyists, organized and unorganized criminals, teetotalers and drunks, German and Italian immigrants, savvy advertisers and gullible consumers, prohibitionists and medical professionals, and everyday Americans in love with their brew. Smith weaves a wild history full of surprising stories and explanations for such classic slogans as taxation with and without representation;" the lips that touch wine will never touch mine;" and rum, Romanism, and rebellion." He reintroduces readers to Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and the colorful John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed), and he rediscovers America's vast literary and cultural engagement with beverages and their relationship to politics, identity, and health.

    Abstract: Entrepreneurship can be read as a cultural and economic phenomenon. In recent times, gender has become an increasing influence on entrepreneurship. This groundbreaking new study considers both gender and entrepreneurship as symbolic forms, looking at their diverse patterns and social representation. Presenting an ethnographic study of the gender structuring of entrepreneurship, this work employs three strategies: A critical survey of gender studies which argues that entrepreneurship is a cultural model of masculinity that obstructs the expression of other models; 'Reflexive' ethnographic observation conducted in five small firms which describes how business cultures are 'gendered' and how gender is the product of a social practice; An analysis of how discursive and narrative practices in business cultures constitute gender and entrepreneurship.

    Abstract: This book represents the coming together of two key debates within organization studies: theorizing on gender and ways of understanding resistance. These debates have been given renewed vigour with the 'postmodern turn' in organization studies and feminist theory. Fusing these two literatures together offers a far deeper understanding of the issues of power, subjectivity and agency. Representing a growing interest in the contributions that feminist theorizing can offer to the study of organizations, this book focuses on issues of gender and resistance in organizations and, in particular, presents theorising which attends to the dualistic debate of compliance versus resistance to offer more generative understandings of reistance.

    Abstract: In contemporary Indian Country, many of the people who identify as "American Indian" fall into the "urban Indian" category: away from traditional lands and communities, in cities and towns wherein the opportunities to live one's identity as Native can be restricted, and even more so for American Indian religious practice and activity.Tradition, Performance, and Religion in Native America: Ancestral Ways, Modern Selves explores a possible theoretical model for discussing the religious nature of urbanized Indians. It uses aspects of contemporary pantribal practices such as the inter-tribal pow wow, substance abuse recovery programs such as the Wellbriety Movement, and political involvement to provide insights into contemporary Native religious identity. Simply put, this book addresses the question what does it mean to be an Indigenous American in the 21st century, and how does one express that indigeneity religiously? It proposes that practices and ideologies appropriate to the pan-Indian context provide much of the foundation for maintaining a sense of aboriginal spiritual identity within modernity. Individuals and families who identify themselves as Native American can participate in activities associated with a broad network of other Native people, in effect performing their Indian identity and enacting the values that are connected to that identity.

    Abstract: Dans ce troisième tome de la collection 'Des choses de la vie', la psychanalyste Diane Drory pose un regard perspicace sur les relations parfois chahutées entre frères et soeurs ainsi que sur les rapports souvent difficiles des parents avec leurs enfants et ados. Chamboulée par les nouvelles technologies, le règne de l'enfant-roi et la banalisation des divorces, la famille d'aujourd'hui est paradoxalement l'endroit où la vie est supposée se dérouler dans le luxe, le calme et la volupté, comme dans une pub. Les batailles rangées, les jalousies, les colères et les crises n'auraient-elles donc pas de valeur ajoutée? Les trente récits relatés avec humour et délicatesse dans ce livre proposent à chacun de revisiter les aspérités de sa famille et de la rendre plus passionnante encore. « On ne choisit pas ses parents, on ne choisit pas sa famille. On ne se choisit même pas soi-même » Philippe Geluck.

    Abstract: Le témoignage de Samanta Borzi est celui d'une renaissance et d'une fabuleuse évolution. Petite fille mal aimée, elle est terrorisée par une belle-mère qui lui fait croire que le diable et l'enfer sont partout.Elle grandit dans un univers peuplé de cauchemars, minée par une image désastreuse qu'elle a d'elle-même.À l'adolescence, elle plonge : prostitution et drogue. Accro à l'héroïne, le drame éclate : Samanta, enceinte, s'endort après avoir pris une dose et perd son bébé in utero.Inconsolable, dévorée par un sentiment terrible de culpabilité, elle sombre encore plus dans la drogue.Enceinte pour la deuxième fois et toujours dépendante de la drogue, Samanta met au monde un fils. Il naît drogué et en manque. Un soir, la jeune femme le dépose dans un hôpital et, le coeur anéanti, supplie qu'on le prenne en charge, car elle se sait incapable de subvenir à son bien-être.Jusqu'au jour où...Samanta Borzi nous livre ici, en toute intimité, une autobiographie poignante. Sans détour, elle n'hésite pas à évoquer les étapes difficiles de sa vie.A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR :Aujourd'hui, Samanta est comédienne et a récupéré son fils placé longtemps en famille d'accueil. Elle est à l'affiche du film « Moroccan Gigolo's » d'Ismaël Saïdi. Et les projets s'enchaînent.EXTRAIT :PRENEZ-LE, JE L'AIME TROPCela faisait plusieurs semaines que ma consommation de drogue était de plus en plus chaotique, les hallucinations et les crises psychotiques allaient croissantes. Prise d'une peur panique, je me suis rendue chez une psychiatre pour déposer ce fardeau que je portais depuis huit mois.Je lui ai tout expliqué en lui demandant de l'aide.Elle m'a écoutée attentivement et m'a prescrit un médicament, le Solian1.En me tendant l'ordonnance, elle me rassura et me dit que cette béquille m'aiderait et ferait disparaitre tous les symptômes.Après m'être rendue à la pharmacie, j'ai ouvert...
    Abstract: la boîte de médicaments et j'ai lu la notice.Voyant qu'on le prescrivait en cas de schizophrénie, je n'ai pas voulu le prendre, je ne me sentais pas concernée et je me suis dit qu'il n'était pas approprié à mon état.Au lieu de ça, je suis allée acheter une boulette de coke et je suis rentrée chez moi.Je n'avais jamais été autant accro, il ne restait plus rien de la Samanta que j'avais été, la coke l'avait complètement dévorée…Les deux jours qui ont suivi, j'ai à peine dormi trois heures, je n'avais plus un sou, j'avais tout dépensé dans la came. Tout l'appartement empestait l'ammoniac avec lequel je préparais ma coke. Tout était en chantier. Des tas de déchets de ma consommation traînaient au sol : aluminium chiffonné, plusieurs bouteilles en plastique à terre, pleines de cendre qui me servait à fumer ma crasse, du linge accumulé dans toutes les pièces. Plus de langes, ni d'eau en bouteille pour le petit, à peine de quoi lui faire encore un biberon.Mon corps et mon esprit étaient à bout….

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage lève le voile sur les terribles forces qui hantent les profondeurs de l'esprit humain. Le cannibalisme ! Un terme dont la simple évocation entraîne, chez nous, un frisson de dégoût, un sentiment d'écœurement, tant cette notion nous semble horrible, tant elle nous paraît abjecte… en même temps qu'elle nous fascine. Sans aucune censure, cependant, ce livre déconcertant traite, avec un luxe inouï de détails et d'anecdotes, mais aussi avec le plus grand sérieux, d'un sujet qui s'intéresse à l'un des interdits les plus fondamentaux pour l'espèce humaine : celui de manger son semblable. L'auteur étudie le phénomène sous une multitude de facettes. Il examine le cannibalisme culturel et religieux, considéré comme normal, nécessaire, et faisant partie de la vie de certaines sociétés traditionnelles. Il évoque le cannibalisme lié à des conditions exceptionnelles, lorsque des malheureux furent obligés de manger leurs compagnons parce qu'ils n'avaient d'autre espoir de survivre. Il nous entraîne encore dans des affaires criminelles tristement célèbres et tellement perturbantes pour notre entendement. Car, comment admettre, en effet, que, dans nos sociétés contemporaines, d'incroyables pulsions animales puissent pousser certains à consommer de la chair humaine. Cet ouvrage nous présente une série de situations et de récits qui bouleverseront à jamais notre perception de l'Homme. Un livre d'Histoire et d'histoires vraies à vous donner froid dans le dos… EXTRAIT :  Nourrir les dieux et pratiquer la magie Lorsque Cortés et son armée atteignirent Mexico au début du XVIe siècle, ils découvrirent une culture basée sur le cannibalisme et le sacrifice humain à grande échelle. Les fondateurs aztèques de cette culture n'étaient installés que depuis quelques siècles et leur religion remarquablement élaborée s'était créée petit à petit durant cette période.
    Abstract: Ils empruntèrent des dieux aux autres tribus, les ajoutant à leur propre panthéon, et en créèrent de nouveau pour combler certains manques évidents. Au moment où Cortès arriva, ils avaient « tellement de dieux que même les peuples voisins n'étaient pas capables de les énumérer ». (cf. Tannahill) Les Aztèques voulaient garder les dieux de leur côté, et ce à n'importe quel prix. Cela devait finir par poser problème. Les Aztèques étaient déjà à leur cinquième monde et étaient déterminés à ce qu'il ne finisse pas comme les quatre précédents. Ils se battraient de toutes leurs forces pour que le soleil continue sa course et que les monstres de l'aube restent à distance. Le soleil avait été créé par le sacrifice d'un dieu (il s'était jeté dans un brasier) et mis en mouvement par le sang et les cœurs d'autres dieux. Il semblait donc juste, pour ne pas dire logique, que les humains pratiquent leurs propres sacrifices pour que le monde continue à fonctionner. Et puisque les hommes peuvent devenir nerveux quand leurs chefs commencent à les tuer en grand nombre, les cœurs et le sang devaient en grande partie provenir d'étrangers. Pour permettre cela, les Aztèques entretenaient un état plus ou moins permanent de guerre, durant lequel il était mieux vu de faire des prisonniers que de tuer les ennemis. Pendant 200 ans, les armées aztèques ont parcouru l'Amérique centrale à la recherche de victimes étrangères.

    Abstract: Eine Geschichte von Flucht und Vertreibung - und von den Schwierigkeiten der Integration. 1949 bezogen zwanzig donauschwäbische Familien aus dem Dorf Brestowatz in der Batschka im heutigen Serbien eine Barackensiedlung im hessischen Obersuhl. Die Familien waren 1944 vor der heranrückenden Sowjetarmee geflohen und fanden hier eine vorläufige Bleibe. Obwohl sie sich selbst als Deutsche verstanden, kamen sie nach Deutschland in die Fremde. Abgeschottet von ihrer Umgebung ließen sie ihre mitgebrachte Lebensweise wieder aufleben. In dieser Brestowatzer Welt in Obersuhl wuchs Rosemarie Bovier von ihrem 3. bis zu ihrem 12. Lebensjahr auf. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen der Heimat der Familie (derhom) und dem neuen Zuhause (dohaus), zwischen den Erzählungen der Bewohner und den Erfahrungen außerhalb der Siedlung erzählt die Autorin ihre Geschichte der Integration. Sie berichtet von einer Heimat, die sie selbst nur aus zweiter Hand kennenlernt, und von einer verdrängten Wahrheit: Nach und nach wird sichtbar, dass die enge Verstrickung vieler Brestowatzer mit dem NS-Regime und die Täterschaft des eigenen Vaters als SS-Mann in dieser erzählten Heimat unterschlagen wurden.   Biographische Informationen Rosemarie Bovier wurde 1947 in Obersuhl (Hessen) geboren. Nach dem Studium der Germanistik und Geografie in Frankfurt am Main unterrichtete sie an Gymnasien in Bad Hersfeld, Wolfenbüttel und Wolfsburg. Daneben war sie als Fachberaterin bei der Bezirksregierung in Braunschweig tätig. Heute lebt sie in Wolfenbüttel.

    Abstract: He was a friend of James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, e.e. cummings, John Dos Passos, Irving Berlin, and F. Scott Fitzgerald--and the enemy of Ezra Pound, H.L. Mencken, and Ernest Hemingway. He was so influential a critic that Edmund Wilson declared that he had played a leading role in the "liquidation of genteel culture in America." Yet today many students of American culture would not recognize his name. He was Gilbert Seldes, and in this brilliant biographical study, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen recreates a singularly American life of letters. Equally important, Kammen uses Seldes's life as a lens through which to bring into sharp focus the dramatic shifts in American culture that occurred in the half-century after World War I. Born in 1893, Seldes saw in his lifetime an astonishing series of innovations in popular and mass culture: silent films and talkies, the phonograph and the radio, the coming of television, and the proliferation of journalism aimed at mainstream America in such venues as Vanity Fair, The Saturday Evening Post, and Esquire. (His monthly column in Esquire was called "The Lively Arts.") Seldes was more than a witness to these changes, however; he was the leading champion of popular culture in his time, and a skilled practitioner as well. Kammen, the first scholar to enjoy access to Seldes's unpublished papers, illuminates his immense influence as the earliest cultural critic to insist that the lively arts--vaudeville, musical revues, film, jazz, and the comics--should be taken just as seriously as grand opera, the legitimate theatre, and other manifestations of high culture. As he traces Seldes's remarkable evolution from an acknowledged aesthete and highbrow to a cultural democrat with a passion for the popular arts, Kammen recaptures the critic's prescience, wit, and generosity for a newly expanded audience.
    Abstract: We witness Seldes's triumphs and travails as managing editor of The Dial, the most influential literary magazine of its time, and read of New York's endlessly feuding publications and literary rivalries. Kammen offers wonderfully detailed accounts of The Dial's introduction of "The Wasteland" in its November 1922 issue; Seldes's review of Ulysses for The Nation, one of the first (if not the very first) to appear in the U.S.; and the complete story of the writing, publication, and critical reception of The Seven Lively Arts, Seldes's most influential book. And Kammen also covers Seldes's astonishingly versatile later career as a freelance writer (on every conceivable subject), historian, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, radio scriptwriter, the first program director for CBS Television, and the founding dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. One of popular culture's earliest and most eloquent champions, Seldes was nonetheless publicly worried as early as 1937 that the popularity of radio, film, and television would mean the demise of the "private art of reading." By 1957 he was warning that "with the shift of all entertainment into the area of big business, we are being engulfed into a mass-produced mediocrity." At a time when many thoughtful Americans despair of popular culture, The Lively Arts revisits the opening salvos in the ongoing debate over "democratization" versus "dumbing down" of the arts. It offers a penetrating and timely analysis of Gilbert Seldes's pioneering conviction that the popular and the great arts must not only co-exist but enrich one another if we are to realize the innovation and intensity of American culture at its best.

    Abstract: Challenging monolithic approaches to culture and literacy, this book looks at the roots of African-American reading and writing from the perspective of vernacular activities and creolization. It shows that African-Americans, while readily mastering the conventions and canons of Euro-America,also drew on knowledge of their own to make an oppositional repertoire of signs and meanings. Distinct from conventional script literacy on the one hand, and oral culture on the other, these "creolized" vernacular practices include writing in charms, use of personal or nondecodable scripts, thestrategic renunciation of reading and writing as communicative tools, and writing that is linked to divination, trance, and possession. Based on extensive ethnographic research in the Southeastern United States and the West Indies, Gundaker offers a complex portrait of the intersection of "outsider"conventions with "insider" knowledge and practice.

    Abstract: East Asia from 1400 to 1850 was a vibrant web of connections, and the southern coast of the Korean peninsula participated in a maritime world that stretched to Southeast Asia and beyond. Within this world were Japanese pirates, traders, and fishermen. They brought things to the Korean peninsula and they took things away. The economic and demographic structures of Kyongsang Province had deep and wide connections with these Japanese traders. Social and political clashes revolving around the Japan House in Pusan reveal Korean mentalities towards the Japanese connection. This study seeks to define 'Korea' by examining its frontier with Japan. The guiding problems are the relations between structures and agents and the self-definitions reached by pre-modern Koreans in their interaction with the Japanese. Case studies range from demography to taxation to trade to politics to prostitution. The study draws on a wide base of primary sources for Korea and Japan and introduces the problems that animate modern scholarship in both countries. It offers a model approach for Korea's northern frontier with China and shows that the peninsula was and is a complex brocade of differing regions. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with pre-1900 East Asia, Korea in particular, and especially Korea's relations with the outside world. Anyone interested in early-modern Japan and its external relations will also find it essential reading.

    Abstract: This classic ethnography examines the social and economic position of women in Bamena, British Cameroons, in 1944. The field study was prompted by the conditions in Bamenda, when despite considerable natural resources, there was underpopulation, a very high infant mortality, and the status of women was very low. This rich and engaging study looks at all aspects of life in Bamena, and includes a number of original photographs.

    Abstract: ¿Por qué otro manual de comunicación? Fundamentalmente, por su enfoque: este manual está dirigido a periodistas, a quienes se forma para serlo, porque necesitan conocer las claves de funcionamiento de quienes les aportan las noticias; o a aquellos que, siéndolo, deciden dar el salto a ejercer de fuentes. Ser periodista es un buen punto de partida. Conoce la profesión, las necesidades del informador, los enfoques, lo que vende? pero no es suficiente. Es esencial una formación específica para convertirse en un especialista realmente cualificado. Como afirma Juan Cruz Más en el prólogo, ?José Manuel Burgueño ha escrito un libro sencillo, práctico, con ejemplos y anécdotas, que se lee de un tirón, y con la credibilidad que se deriva de una vida de experiencia. Muy propio para varios públicos: empresarios, consultores y responsables de la imagen de empresas e instituciones, estudiantes?, y periodistas.?.
