The French Revolution and the British Novel in the Romantic Period - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The French Revolution and the British Novel in the Romantic Period - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is a major reassessment of the French Revolution’s impact on the English novel of the Romantic period. Focusing particularly – but by no means exclusively – on women writers of the time, it explores the enthusiasm, wariness, or hostility with which the Revolution was interpreted and represented for then-contemporary readers. A team of international scholars study how English Romantic novelists sought to guide the British response to an event that seemed likely to turn the world upside down.

The Concept of Definiteness and Its Application to Automated Reference Resolution - Zaur Kambarov - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Concept of Definiteness and Its Application to Automated Reference Resolution - Zaur Kambarov - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is a study of the category of definiteness in the light of research on mental spaces and frames. The author formulates a set of eight uniform rules for the use of the definite, indefinite, and zero articles in English and German. The Concept of Definiteness presents an algorithm for nominal reference resolution that uses the definiteness value of each noun phrase to guide the search for its referent. The book discusses the results of the application of an automated system based on the proposed algorithm to texts in modern English. It also demonstrates applicability of the selected approach to text fragments representing all major historical variants of the German language.

Germany’s Catholic Fraternities and the Weimar Republic - Jeremy Stephen Roethler - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Germany’s Catholic Fraternities and the Weimar Republic - Jeremy Stephen Roethler - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Through the last century, Catholic fraternity alumni have served as German chancellors, presidents, federal ministers, state executives, and leading voices in Germany’s parliament. They have played leading roles in the Catholic press, in Catholic youth groups, in Catholic civic associations, and in the German Catholic hierarchy. After World War II, Catholic fraternity alumni played founding roles in the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU), the two parties that led West Germany’s transition from its catastrophic defeat («zero hour») to the economic miracle (1949–1969). This book considers the ideas that many of these Catholic leaders encountered as college students or as active alumni in their fraternities in the fifteen years before Adolf Hitler came to power.

Gustaf Wingren and the Swedish Luther Renaissance - Mary Elizabeth Anderson - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Gustaf Wingren and the Swedish Luther Renaissance - Mary Elizabeth Anderson - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Swedish Luther Renaissance began at the turn of the twentieth century and flourished through three generations of theologians who brought the challenges of their own day to their study of Luther. The last of these theologians, Gustaf Wingren, saw an increasing and deadly disjunction between faith and life in the church. Reading Luther he found two lively intersections: Christian vocation and proclamation. Using the methodology of his mentors, Wingren breathed new life into the Reformer’s work and developed a Lutheran theology for his place and time.

Material Culture and Technology in Everyday Life - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Material Culture and Technology in Everyday Life - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Focusing on the technoculture of everyday life, this book attempts to zero in on the simplicity and the habitual character of the interaction between humans and material objects, which is often assumed or taken for granted. Because objects are always meaningful in the pragmatic use to which they are directed, the material world of everyday life can be seen as a technoculture of its own – one made of behaviors as simple, and yet as significant, as using a lawnmower, or decorating one’s body. In discussing the unique methodological components of the ethnography of the technoculture of everyday life, this book begins a dialogue on how we can examine – from the participants’ perspective – the interconnections between social agents, their technological/material practices, their material objects or technics, and their social and material environment.

Re-Theorizing Discipline in Education - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Re-Theorizing Discipline in Education - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

For over a century, teachers, parents, and school leaders have lamented a loss of ‘discipline’ in classrooms. Caught between guidance approaches on the one hand and a call for zero tolerance on the other, current debates rarely venture beyond the terrain of implementation strategies. This book aims to reinvigorate thinking on ‘discipline’ in education by challenging the notions, foundations, and paradigms that underpin its use in policy and practice. It confronts the understanding of ‘discipline’ as purely repressive, and raises the possibility of enabling forms and conceptualizations of ‘discipline’ that challenge tokenistic avenues for students’ liberation and enhance students’ capacity for agency. This book is an essential resource for university lecturers, pre-service and in-service teachers, policymakers, and educational administrators who want to re-think ‘discipline’ in education in ways that move beyond a concern with managing disorder, to generate alternative understandings that can make a difference in students’ lives.

Forging an Educative Community - Rosalie M. Romano - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Forging an Educative Community - Rosalie M. Romano - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Forging an Educative Community tells the story of a public school classroom, where relations are fostered to promote democratic participation within intellectual engagement. In forging an educative community, teacher and students develop relations of trust, sense-making, and compassionate imagination, which in turn engender a sense of belonging, all essential elements of an educative community. This book illustrates the challenges and barriers to forming such a community in classrooms, particularly the underside of a sense of belonging that carries with it a terror of being transformed – a terror that can subside only with a trust that belonging will not require us to give up who we are.

Robert Lowell and the Confessional Voice - Paula Hayes - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Robert Lowell and the Confessional Voice - Paula Hayes - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Robert Lowell and the Confessional Voice returns to the poet’s early works, such as Land of Unlikeness and Lord Weary’s Castle , in search of a relationship between Lowell’s early poetry and his turn to a confessional style of writing in the 1950s. Lowell’s early poetry is often overshadowed by the emergence of his confessional poetry (that develops in Life Studies ; however, instead of Lowell’s early poetry being eclipsed by Life Studies , a remembrance of his early poetry is necessary as a way of understanding Lowell’s evolution as a poet. The early poetry provides readers and scholars of Lowell with a Puritan paradigm and the ethos of an American narrative that Lowell never fully abandons but only perpetually deconstructs.

The Conservative Sixties - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Conservative Sixties - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Conservative Sixties tells «the other story» of America in the era of left-wing protests, countercultural experiments, and a civil rights revolution. Ten original historical essays focus on Phyllis Schlafly, Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, the John Birch Society, the Minutemen, «Moral Mothers and Goldwater Girls», «Cowboy Conservatives», «National Politics versus Community Interest», «Below-the-Belt Politics», and the «Politics of Law and Order». The Conservative Sixties demonstrates that throughout the 1960s, right-wing activists organized at the grass-roots, re-thought their priorities, discovered new allies, and prepared to defeat liberals in the political and cultural arenas. This history of the 1960s puts the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H. Bush, and George W. Bush – as well as the conservative turn of Congress and the American people – into historical perspective.

Trading Zones in Environmental Education - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Trading Zones in Environmental Education - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Environmental educators often adhere to a relatively narrow theoretical paradigm focusing on changing attitudes and knowledge, which are assumed to foster pro-environmental behaviors, which, in turn, leads to better environmental quality. This book takes a different approach to trying to understand how environmental education might influence people, their communities, and the environment. The authors view changing environmental behaviors as a «wicked» problem, that is, a problem that does not readily lend itself to solutions using existing disciplinary approaches. The book as a whole opens up new avenues for pursuing environmental education research and practice and thus expands the conversation around environmental education, behaviors, and quality. Through developing transdisciplinary research questions and conceptual paradigms, this book also suggests new practices beyond those currently used in environmental education, natural resources management, and other environmental fields.

Possibilism and Evaluation - Nicoletta Stame - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Possibilism and Evaluation - Nicoletta Stame - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Albert Hirschman affirmed that "Judith Tendler’s fine insights into the differential characteristics and side-effects of thermal and hydropower, and of generation and distribution, contributed in many ways to the formation of my views." Judith Tendler, in turn, wrote that Hirschman had taught her "to look where I never would have looked before for insight into a country’s development," and that in Albert’s work a researcher who was "patient enough" would find "a rich complexity of both success and failure, efficiency alongside incompetence, order cohabiting with disorder." Reconstructing the theoretical roots of interpretive social science, this text shows how Hirschman’s possibilism lies at the base of the original way Tendler practiced evaluation and anticipated many current developments. The continuing vitality of their thought enables us to trace the outlines of possibilist evaluation.

Under the Swing - Ma Chongwei - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book studies recent developments in immigration in one Akha village in northern Thailand by examining issues such as the coffee economy, ethnic relations, religious beliefs and cultural changes. The author demonstrates how their social structure and culture allow the immigrant population in this location to adapt to the demands of modernity by making constant adjustment to their tradition. The analysis sheds important light on how this marginal population manages to turn the tension between their participation in local politics and their identity as subjects of state governance into opportunities for growth. Instead of resorting to the art of not being governed, these immigrants have achieved a balance between preserving their distinctness and being governed in a modern nation-state, thereby creating greater space for their own survival and development.

Here's Looking at You - Ernest Giglio - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Here's Looking at You - Ernest Giglio - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Now in its updated and expanded fourth edition, Here’s Looking at You: Hollywood, Film & Politics examines how the tangled relationship between Hollywood’s global film industry and the politics of federal and state governments manifests itself in the real world of political campaigns and in the fictional world of Hollywood films. The book contradicts the film industry’s assertion that it produces nothing but entertainment. While it is true that the vast majority of Hollywood films are strictly commercial ventures, hundreds of movies—from Birth of a Nation to The Help , recreated stories like Argo and Zero Dark Thirty and historical pieces such as Lincoln and The Conspirator —contain political messages, both overt and covert. This new edition begins with President Obama’s re-election and includes new photos and statistical data, three new chapters and eight case studies that provide in-depth analysis of special films that are certain to challenge existing views and stimulate classroom discussion. Here’s Looking at You serves as a basic text for courses in film and politics and as a supplement in American government and film studies courses. Film buffs and general readers will also find it of interest.

Juju Fission - Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Juju Fission - Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Women, especially leaders, holding tête-à-têtes with men to address political impasses have been recognized as shrewd, double headed, or witchlike distinctions that link them with juju or extraordinary, survivalist powers. Juju Fission: Women’s Alternative Fictions from the Sahara, the Kalahari, and the Oases In-Between is a theoretical and analytical book on African women writers that focuses on seven representative novels from different parts of Africa: Bessie Head’s Maru (South Africa/Botswana); Nawal El Saadawi’s Woman at Point Zero (Egypt); Ama Ata Aidoo’s Our Sister Killjoy; or Reflections from a Black-Eyed Squint and Changes (Ghana); Assia Djebar’s A Sister to Scheherazade (Algeria); Calixthe Beyala’s The Sun Hath Looked Upon Me (Cameroon); and Yvonne Vera’s Nehanda (Zimbabwe). In her analysis, Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi demonstrates how women are viewed and how they operate in critical times. Ogunyemi explains how the heritage is passed on, in spite of dire situations emanating from colonialism, postcolonialism, ethnicism, sexism, and grinding poverty. An important contribution to many fields, Juju Fission is excellent background material for courses on African studies, women’s studies, African Diaspora studies, black studies, global studies, and general literature studies.

City-State Civism in Ancient Athens - Thomas L. Dynneson - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

City-State Civism in Ancient Athens - Thomas L. Dynneson - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book focuses on the development of civism as it contributed to ancient Greek culture, and helped shape the psychology of citizenship in the Western world. The strength of this work is its interdisciplinary examination of those trends and influences that combined to give new insights into the rise and the fall of democracy in the ancient polis of Athens. The author presents an extensive description of the intellectual forces that attracted «international» scholars and teachers to Athens, who in turn established important schools of higher learning as they labored to develop and advance the study of rhetoric and philosophy as competing alternative approaches for addressing the perceived weakness of the democratic system. This volume is an ideal supplement for instruction in courses in classical history, political science, philosophy, history of Western education, and advanced foundations of education.

Playing Shakespeare’s Rebels and Tyrants - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Playing Shakespeare’s Rebels and Tyrants - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Playing Shakespeare’s Rebels and Tyrants is the fourth volume in the Peter Lang series, Playing Shakespeare’s Characters. As in the previous volumes, a broad range of contributors (actors, directors, scholars, educators, etc.) analyze the concepts of rebellion, tyranny, leadership, empathy with not only references to Elizabethan and Jacobean studies, but also to Donald Trump, the social justice movement, and the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Shakespeare''s rebels occupy space in both the personal and political, and often quickly turn from rebel to tyrant once in power. How can Shakespeare''s text inform current conversations about race, equity, representation, rebellion and tyranny? Who gets to define the power dynamics in Shakespeare’s plays? This volume looks at the Henrys, Hotspurs, Richards, Lears, Brutuses and Caesars, as well as the Juliets, Rosalinds and Cordelias who make up the panoply of Shakespeares rebels and tyrants.

The Metaphor of the City in the Apocalypse of John - Eva Maria Raepple - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Metaphor of the City in the Apocalypse of John - Eva Maria Raepple - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Throughout history, the vision of a new city – the heavenly Jerusalem coming down from heaven – has inspired human beings to dream about community, society, and the world. Acting as an incentive to turn unsatisfied longing into utopian ideas and, ultimately, action, the language of the Apocalypse of John has long inspired human imagination in a highly effective manner. This fact has contributed to its controversial role in the history of New Testament interpretation; its bizarre, often paradoxical language seems to veil, rather than reveal, its message. Interestingly, the Apocalypse has never ceased to be an inspiration for artists: unlike conceptual language, art does not restrict interpretation, but has the power to incite the reader or audience to imagine. Using artistic expression as paradigm, this book examines a central image – the city – as metaphorical material, investigating the dynamic, interpretive process from text to imagination.

Not a Stage! - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Not a Stage! - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Not a Stage! is written for teachers, students, and scholars interested in the academic, social, and emotional needs of young adolescents. It is unique because it actively resists basing the practice, research, and theory of young adolescent education on developmentalism and the developmental stage of young adolescence. The purpose of this book is to begin to reorient the discourse on young adolescent growth and change and in turn reconceptualize the education of young adolescents. The book infuses a contingent, recursive conception of adolescent growth and change into the discourse around young adolescence by making three pleas to those interested in the schooling of young adolescents: to move away from a developmentally responsive vision to a contingently and recursively relational vision; to move from «characterizing» young adolescenCE to «particularizing» young adolescenTS; and to move from a «sameness» curriculum to a «difference» curriculum.

Building Multispecies Resistance Against Exploitation - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

This collection posits three questions. 1) What structures of violence and oppression are experienced and shared by human and nonhuman laborers working and dying in these necropolitical facilities? 2) If there is an intersection between class and species, which, in turn incorporates race, gender, abilities, and other categories of oppression, in which ways is the contemporary Animal Activist Nonprofit Sector (AANS) reifying or disrupting these hierarchies in its mission towards animal liberation? 3) If there are classist and racist biases in AANS, how can the AANS incorporate social class in dialogue with the liberation of nonhuman animals in order to build strategic alliances and coalitions between social movements and political subjects? This book not only envisions a world without these hierarchies but offer tangible steps the AANS can take to achieve liberation for human and nonhuman animals.

Partners in Paradise - Robert J. Shepherd - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Partners in Paradise - Robert J. Shepherd - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

How and why do some places in the world become symbols of illusive paradise, and what does this mean for their residents? Moving between anthropology, tourism, and the increasingly influential cultural heritage movement, Partners in Paradise examines the origins of a Euro-American fascination with places imagined to exist outside of Modernity. Focusing on the emergence of Tibet and Bali as, in turn, anthropological field sites, tourist destinations, and cultural heritage sites, it argues that the work of academic researchers, tourists, and cultural preservationists inform and constitute each other, in the process constructing particular places as «paradise». Unpacking this process is a necessary first step in understanding how Tibetans and Balinese negotiate their place in a modern world in which the meaning of «paradise» is contested. Drawing on anthropology, history, and tourist studies, Partners in Paradise offers a unique lens on the politics of development, modernization, and cultural preservation.

Locating Latin American Women Writers - Claire Lindsay - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Locating Latin American Women Writers - Claire Lindsay - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The end of the twentieth century witnessed a «boom» in the production, publication, readership, and scholarship of women’s writing from Latin America. In fact, the emergence of women writers is perhaps the most significant phenomenon of the «post-boom» period of Latin American literary history, a phenomenon that has been influenced in turn by the burgeoning development of a number of women’s movements on the continent. Within this «boom», the short story has become an increasingly popular genre amongst women writers. This book considers the location(s) of four major women writers – Cristina Peri Rossi, Rosario Ferré, Albalucía Angel, and Isabel Allende – and their short fiction within these changing literary and social contexts. Combining close textual analysis of their fiction with a consideration of the social, historical, and geographical contexts of literary production, this book is essential reading for students and scholars in Latin American studies, women’s studies, and comparative literature.

Assault on Kids and Teachers - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

In Assault on Kids and Teachers , educators from across the United States push back against the neoliberal school reform movements that are taking the “public” out of public education, demonizing teachers, and stealing from youth the opportunity for an equitable, just, and holistic education. Contributors, including teachers, educational and community activists, teacher educators, critical education scholars, and others, expose how racism, economic injustice, and other forms of injustice are created and recreated both locally and nationally through educational policies more intent on turning schools into profit centers and undermining teacher unions than on strengthening public schools. Topics include the privatization of public schools, the growing influence of grit ideology on school practices, zero tolerance policies and the school-to-prison pipeline, Teach For America, the lies behind the charter school movement, and the damage TPAs are doing to teacher education. Beyond leveling critiques at these and other troubling trends and practices, though, contributors describe the many sites and forms of resistance emerging in response to these assaults on kids and teachers from students, parents, teachers, and other concerned people. Assault on Kids and Teachers is both a call for deeper understandings of anti-democratic and regressive school reform initiatives and an invitation into movements for putting the “public” back into public education.
