This book proposes a new encompassing theoretical framework for the study of immigration. Ewa Morawska provides a systematic comparative examination of the experience of turn-of-the-twentieth-century and present-day immigrants, and of eight contemporary immigrant groups in the United States. Within this interpretative framework, Morawska examines four major issues informing current sociological studies of immigration: mechanisms and effects of international migration, processes of immigrants' assimilation and transnational engagements, and the adaptation patterns of the second generation. This study focuses on the interactive framework in which immigrants, responding to circumstances not of their choosing, nonetheless make history. Though the book is shaped by an underlying theoretical framework, the key theoretical issues are explored through a comparison of eight different groups, providing rich, empirical, grounded material. As the groups range widely in origins and immigrant experiences, they shed light on one of the salient aspects of the contemporary immigrant phenomenon, namely its diversity. The concluding chapter offers a thoughtful review of the main agendas of immigration research in different regions of the world followed by the author's suggestions regarding better-informed cross-national/regional studies in this field.

Kinder mit spezifischen Sprachentwicklungsstoerungen (SSES) erlernen haufig nicht in einer normalen Qualitat und Zeit das Lesen und Schreiben. Eine Ursache fur den gestoerten Schriftspracherwerb bei Kindern mit SSES wird in vorschulisch ungenugend entwickelten metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten vermutet. In diesem Buch wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob ein Zusammenhang zwischen geringem Wortschatzumfang, eingeschrankten metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten und gestoertem Erwerb der Schriftsprache besteht. Dazu werden aktuell vorliegende Erkenntnisse zum Wortschatzerwerb und zur Entwicklung metaphonologischer Fahigkeiten aufgezeigt. Insbesondere Zusammenhange zwischen Wortform und metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten sowie zum Schriftspracherwerb bei spezifisch sprachentwicklungsgestoerten und sprachnormalen Kindern finden Beachtung. Ferner wird eine empirische Untersuchung dargestellt, an der insgesamt 98 (Vor)Schulkinder teilnahmen. An zwei Testzeitpunkten konnten die zur Hypothesenabklarung notwendigen Daten gewonnen werden. Aus den Erkenntnissen lassen sich plassen sich padagogische Implikationen zur Pravention von Schriftspracherwerbsstoerungen sowie Forschungsdesiderate ableiten.

Ernst Hadermann gehoerte als kriegsgefangener Wehrmachtsoffizier zu den fuhrenden Persoenlichkeiten des 1943 in der Sowjetunion gegrundeten Nationalkomitees "Freies Deutschland". Sein Aufruf zur Beendigung des Krieges und zum Sturz des Hitlerregimes im Mai 1942 machte ihn popular. Weniger bekannt wurde der charismatische Padagoge Hadermann, dessen Humanismus Spuren hinterliess. Sie reichen vom Kasseler Wilhelmsgymnasium uber die antifaschistische Aufklarungsarbeit unter deutschen Kriegsgefangenen bis in die Bildungsentwicklung der SBZ und fruhen DDR, an deren ideeller Vorbereitung er massgeblich beteiligt war. Seine Biographie zeigt die Revision traditioneller bildungsburgerlicher Identitat ebenso wie die Gefahrdung seines Bildungsanspruchs unter der Realitat des Kalten Krieges.

Mit diesem Sammelband wird die Diskussion uber Intertextualitat bzw. Intermedialitat durch eine medienubergreifende Theorie, Geschichte und Didaktik im Sinne einer engeren systematischen Verbindung von Mediengeschichte, Intermedialitat und Literaturdidaktik erganzt.

Medientransformationen, Text-Bild-Bezuge, historische und moderne multimediale Genres als Motiv- und Gattungsgeschichte in Fachtheorie und Unterrichtspraxis.
