In this book, scholars and artists explore the relation between electronic music and bodily expression from perspectives including aesthetics, philosophy of mind, phenomenology, dance and interactive performance arts, sociology, computer music and sonic arts, and music theory, transgressing disciplinary boundaries and established beliefs. The historic decoupling of action and sound generation might be seen to have distorted or even effaced the expressive body, with the retention of performance qualities via recoupling not equally retaining bodily expressivity. When, where, and what is the body expressed in electronic music then? The authors of this book reveal composers, performers, improvisers and listeners bodies, as well as the works and technologies figurative bodies as a rich source of expressive articulation. Bringing together humanities scholarship and musical arts contingent upon new media, the contributors offer inspiring thought and critical reflection for all those seriously engaged with the aesthetics of electronic music, interactive performance, and the body 's role in aesthetic experience and expression. Performativity is not only seen as being reclaimed in live electronic music, interactive arts, and installations; it is also exposed as embodied in the music and the listeners themselves.

Recent, unpredictable incidents in diverse locations - Paris, Nice, Ankara, Sinai, California, Manchester and London - reinforce how governments and scholars must look beneath the surface for understanding of the turbulent post-9/11world. In particular, what does 'expertise' mean in this new era? This book answers that question? The volume is about a particular kind of expert - a type suffering from 'bad press' for a long time - namely, scholars who carry out area-based research. The term 'expert' itself even comes in for some humor about how it might be defined - someone who knows more and more, about less and less, until eventually they know everything about nothing. Behind the old joke is a grain of truth: Expert standing becomes unimpressive to us, in both intellectual and practical terms, when it is seen as parochial and lacking in vision. This volume will explore Area Studies (AS), a prominent type of expertise, along a range of dimensions. As we move towards the third decade in the new millennium, attention shifts to the somewhat unexpectedly positive future of New Area Studies (NAS) as a resurgent intellectual movement. NAS has departed from what the editors have dubbed Traditional Area Studies (TAS) - commonplace till the millennium. Both the editors of this volume, and its contributors, are leading scholars in area-based work across continents. Together they have participated and observed as area-oriented research struggled to overcome protracted and intense criticism since the Cold War. Thus, the volume marks the resurgence of area-based research in its new guise as NAS - the crux - understanding increasing complexity around a shrinking globe. Taken together, the contents of this volume make the the case for a New Area Studies grounded in necessary travel, using new and wider methodologies involving reflective practice and production of knowledge with local people. It argues the necessity of such broad and deep approaches in order to appreciate what is going on in the world in the 21st century and to help us see off the arrival of more and increasingly nasty unpredictable shocks.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich VWL - Makrookonomie, allgemein, Note: 3,7, Universitat Potsdam (Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultat), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Umwelt- bzw. Okosteuern sind seit mehreren Jahren ein wichtiger Teil der umweltpolitischen Diskussion. Zahlreiche Okonomen wie beispielsweise PIGOU beschaftigten sich bereits vor mehreren Jahrzehnten mit der Internalisierung negativer externer Effekte mittels einer Umweltsteuer, die als staatliches Instrument vor dem Hintergrund lokaler und globaler Umweltprobleme moglicherweise zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist hauptsachlich auf zwei Ebenen (Abschnitt 2 und 3) angelegt: Zum einen geht es im Abschnitt 2 um eine ausfuhrliche Betrachtung von Umwelt- bzw. Okosteuern aus Sicht der umweltokonomischen Theorie. Dabei soll neben den Dimensionen der Okobesteuerung insbesondere der Ansatz von PIGOU als eine Losungsmoglichkeit zur Internalisierung entstehender Umweltschadigungen diskutiert werden. Im Abschnitt 3 sollen neben primaren und sekundaren Lenkungseffekten auch verteilungspolitische Aspekte einer Okobesteuerung erortert werden. Hierbei wird es darum gehen, wie sich eine Okobesteuerung auf die Umweltsituation sowie auf das okonomische, beschaftigungs- und sozialpolitische Umfeld (z. B. in Deutschland) auswirkt bzw. auswirken kann. Nachfolgend werden im Abschnitt 4 anhand von Argumenten fur und gegen Okosteuern diese einer kritischen Wurdigung unterzogen. Abschliessend wird es darum gehen, Reformpotentiale der Okobesteuerung vor dem Hintergrund einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung, des sogenannten sustainable development, sowie vor dem Hintergrund der Wettbewerbsfahigkeit einer Volkswirtschaft aufzuzeigen. Da diese Diplomarbeit auch theoretische Grundlagen von Umwelt- bzw. Okosteuern behandelt, wurde bei der Auswahl der Literaturquellen darauf geachtet, neben neueren Publikationen auch auf Klassiker (z. B. PIGOU) bzw. auf altere Veroffent
