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
