Sprechgebote: Wie das Sprechen über Sprache soziale Ungleichheiten reproduziert
by Susanne BeckerSusanne Becker geht der Frage nach, wie Sprechweisen alltäglich bewertet werden und wie diese Bewertungen mit ökonomischen Ungleichheiten in Verbindung stehen. Mittels empirischer Ergebnisse aus ihrer ethnografischen Forschung in zwei Stadtteilen illustriert die Autorin Wechselwirkungen von symbolischen und ökonomischen Ein- und Ausschlüssen durch Sprache(n). Die Studie nimmt einerseits Sprachhierarchien und Sprachideologien in den Blick. Zum anderen setzt sie sich mit der Kommodifizierung („Warenwerdung“) von Sprache(n) kritisch auseinander. Dabei schlägt die Autorin eine Brücke zwischen der soziolinguistischen Forschung zu Linguistic Landscapes und Sprachregimen und der soziologischen Ungleichheitsanalyse. Das Buch ist ein Plädoyer für die Berücksichtigung sprachlicher Verhältnisse in der Ungleichheitsforschung.

Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue: An Annotated Translation of Wu Yue Chunqiu
by Jianjun HeSpring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue is the first complete English translation of Wu Yue Chunqiu, a chronicle of two neighboring states during China's Spring and Autumn period. This collection of political history, philosophy, and fictional accounts depicts the rise and fall of Wu and Yue and the rivalry between them, the inspiration for centuries of poetry, vernacular fiction, and drama.Wu Yue Chunqiu makes use of rich sources from the past, carefully adapting and developing them into complex stories. Historical figures are transformed into distinctive characters; simple records of events are fleshed out and made tangible. The result is a nuanced record that is both a compelling narrative and a valuable historical text. As one of the earliest examples of a regional history, Wu Yue Chunqiu is also an important source for the history of what is now Zhejiang and Jiangsu.In Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, Jianjun He's engaging translation and extensive annotations make this significant historical and literary work accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time.

Springer-Verlag: Part 1: 1842–1945 Foundation Maturation Adversity
by Heinz SarkowskiThis book describes the fortunes and activities of one of the few specialist publishing houses still in the hands of the same family that established it over years ago, and with it gives a p- trayal of those members who directed it. In doing so it covers a period of momentous historical events that directly and in- rectly shaped the firm's actions and achievements. But this volume tells not only, in word and picture, the story of Springer- Verlag but also, interwoven with it, the story of scientific p- lishing in Germany over the span of a hundred years. The text, densely packed with carefully researched facts and figures, is illuminated and supplemented by many illustrations whose captions, together with the author's notes, contain a wealth of important and interesting information. The reader is urged to read these captions as well as the notes so as to - preciate in full the events and people described. I have added a few footnotes to clarify or expand on some matters that may be unfamiliar to non-German readers. Because of the long period of time covered in these pages many of the documents and letters shown and commented upon are different in diction and style from those of today. An - tempt was made in the translation to keep the flavour of the original language and not contemporise it.

by Dick King-SmithLong ago, in the cold lands of the North, there lived a troll named Ulf who had a very bad habit - he liked to eat fingers! Many, many men, women and children had found their hands a finger short thanks to the razor-sharp teeth of the Finger-eater.

Spuren des Geistigen: Die Macht des Mythos in Medien und Werbung
by Jana MagdanzDer Mythos ist eine menschheitsgeschichtlich uralte Denkgewohnheit, die in deutlichem Kontrast zur aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Welterklärung steht. Und doch deuten wir unsere Alltagswelt auch heute oft mythisch. Das Bedürfnis nach Mythen findet vor allem in den Medien eine Oase temporärer Befriedigung. Jana Magdanz zeigt auf, wie Medien mithilfe des Mythos zum Konsum verführen und besonders die Werbung urmenschliche Sehnsüchte mit dem Verlangen nach einem beworbenen Produkt verbindet. Mythische Symbole wie Götter und Helden, Archetypen wie Gestaltwandler und Schlange sowie verborgene narrative Strukturen erzeugen unzählige Identifizierungsoptionen für die Rezipienten und öffnen zugleich den Zugang zu ihrem Unterbewusstsein für maximale Werbewirkung. Der Mythos ist zu einem wichtigen, oft unbewusst angewandten Werkzeug der Medienschaffenden und Marketingabteilungen geworden. Die Autorin schlägt einen weiten Bogen von der theoretischen Verortung des Mythos, zeichnet das facettenreiche Bild seiner aktuellen Erscheinungsformen und untersucht zahlreiche aktuelle Werbebeispiele.

The Spy Novels of John Le Carre: Balancing Ethics and Politics
by M. AronoffUsing espionage as a metaphor for politics, John le Carré explores the dilemmas that confront individuals and governments as they act during and in the aftermath of the Cold War. His unforgettable characters struggle to maintain personal and professional integrity while facing conflicting personal, institutional, and ideological loyalties. In The Spy Novels of John le Carré , author Myron Aronoff interprets the ambiguous ethical and political implications of the work of John le Carré, revealing him to be one of the most important political writers of our time. Aronoff shows how through his writing, le Carré poses the difficult question of to what extent are western governments justified in pursuing raison d'état without undermining the very democratic freedoms that they claim to defend. He also draws parallels between the self-parody of le Carré and that of the seventeenth-century Dutch artist Jan Steen, and explains how it expresses a unique form of ambiguous moralism. In this volume Aronoff relates le Carré's fictional world to the real world of espionage, and demonstrates the need to balance the imperatives of ethics and politics in regard to some of the most pressing issues facing the world today.
A Spy on Eliza Haywood: Addresses to a Multifarious Writer (Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature)
by Aleksondra HultquistEliza Haywood was one of the most prolific English writers in the Age of the Enlightenment. Her career, from Love in Excess (1719) to her last completed project The Invisible Spy (1755) spanned the gamut of genres: novels, plays, advice manuals, periodicals, propaganda, satire, and translations. Haywood’s importance in the development of the novel is now well-known. A Spy on Eliza Haywood links this with her work in the other genres in which she published at least one volume a year throughout her life, demonstrating how she contributed substantially to making women’s writing a locus of debate that had to be taken seriously by contemporary readers, as well as now by current scholars of political, moral, and social enquiries into the eighteenth century. Haywood’s work is essential to the study of eighteenth-century literature and this collection of essays continues the growing scholarship on this most important of women writers.
