Communicating in the Third Space aims to clarify Homi K. Bhabha's
theory of the third space of enunciation by reconstructing its
philosophical, sociological, geographical, and political meaning
with attention to the special advantages and ambiguities that arise
as it is applied in practical--as well as theoretical--contexts.
The idea of "third space" conceives the encounter of two distinct
and unequal social groups as taking place in a special third space
of enunciation where culture is disseminated and displaced from the
interacting groups, making way for the invention of a hybrid
identity, whereby these two groups conceive themselves to partake
in a common identity relating to shared space and common dialogue.
The essays collected in Communicating in the Third Space--including
a preface by Bhabha himself--brilliantly introduce readers to this
exciting topic in Cultural and Post-Colonial theory and offers
insightful elaboration and critique of the meaning and relevance of
life in the "third space." With a preface by Homi K. Bhabha.

in recent years, there has been a growing interest in the legal
aspects of mass torts in Europe. Both academics, legislatures,
courts and policymakers throughout the whole of Europe have been
struggling with the challenges that such 'massification' of private
law relationships poses both in and outside of tort law. The
subject moves between the law of civil procedure, substantive tort
law, access to justice debates and regulatory frameworks for mass
disputes. This volume offers both a caleidoscopic review of
real-life key cases of mass tort and an in-depth reflection on the
broader implications of mass tort in Europe. Thus, the challenges
posed by mass torts are explored, mapped and analysed.
This large-scale comparative study analyses the two principal
mechanisms employed in modern legal systems to deal with the social
problem of occupational illness and injury, namely, employers'
liability and workers' compensation. It provides a detailed
description of the systems in operation in twelve countries around
the world, investigating the complex legal structures and the
interaction with other social institutions, as well as their
inter-jurisdictional coordination through private international
law. Current international trends are identified and assessed and
the fundamental political issues highlighted and explored. The
study's ultimate goals are not only descriptive but also to answer
the question of how compensation and liability systems can best be
adapted to meet society's needs in the 21st century. The countries
covered are: Australia (Mark Lunney), Austria (Ernst Karner/Felix
Kernbichler), Denmark (Vibe Ulfbeck), England and Wales (Richard
Lewis), France (Florence G'Sell/Isabelle Veillard), Germany
(Raimund Waltermann), Italy (Alessandro P Scarso/Massimo Foglia),
Japan (Keizo Yamamoto/Tomohiro Yoshimasa), the Netherlands (Siewert
D Lindenbergh), Poland (Domenika Doerre-Nowak), Romania (Christian
Alunaru/Lucian Bojin) and the United States of America (Michael D
Green/Daniel S Murdock). The book is completed by three concluding
essays that address general themes: Thomas Thiede, The European
Coordination of Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation Ken
Oliphant, The Changing Landscape of Work Injury Claims: Challenges
for Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation Gerhard Wagner,

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the First European
Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics, EuroISI 2008,
held in Esbjerg Denmark, December 3-5, 2008. Intelligence and
security informatics (ISI) is a multidisciplinary ?eld enc- passing
methodologies, models, algorithms, and advanced tools for
intelligence analysis, homeland security, terrorism research as
well as security-related public policies. EuroISI 2008 was the ?rst
European edition of the series of ISI sym- siums that have been
held annually in the USA since 2003, and more recently in Asia.
These meetings gather together people from previously disparate c-
munities to provide a stimulating forum for the exchange of ideas
and results. Participantshave included academic
researchers(especially in the ?elds of inf- mation technologies,
computer science, public policy, and social and behavioral
studies), law enforcement and intelligence experts, as well as
information te- nology companies, industry consultants and
practitioners in the relevant ?elds. These proceedings contain 25
originalpapers, out of 48 submissions received, related to the
topics of intelligence and security informatics. The papers cover a
broad range of ?elds such as: social network analysis, knowledge
discovery, web-based intelligence and analysis, privacy protection,
access control, digital rights management, malware and intrusion
detection, surveillance, crisis m- agement,
andcomputationalintelligence, amongothers.Additionallytothemain

Die Soziologie mit ihren vielen widerspruchlichen Positionen
vermittelt den Eindruck der inneren Zerrissenheit, weil es ihr an
einer facheinheitlichen wissenschaftstheoretischen Fundierung
fehlt. Diese Studie legt den Grundriss einer konsensfahigen
Wissenschaftstheorie der Soziologie, die im Einklang steht mit den
Erkenntnisfortschritten der Philosophie und anderer Wissenschaften,
von der Physik bis hin zur Social Cognitive Neuroscience. In einer
klaren Sprache formuliert, ist sie auch als systematische
Einfuhrung lesbar."
Die Klarung der Wirksamkeit von Rechtsnormen gehort zu den
zentralen Forschungsthemen nicht nur der Rechtssoziologie, sondern
der Soziologie insgesamt. Denn Recht ist ebenso wie Konvention ein
Ordnungsbegriff. Konventionelle und rechtliche Normen bewirken,
dass die Ablaufe sozialen Handelns in der Gesellschaft so ablaufen,
wie sie ablaufen sollen bzw. mussen. Da zu wenig
Grundlagenforschung betrieben wird, ist es bislang nicht gelungen,
eine einheitliche Theorie zu formulieren, die die Wirksamkeit von
Rechtsnormen erklart. Dieser Sammelband tragt zur Theoriebildung
bei, indem er neben soziologischen und juristischen Aspekten der
Thematik auch philosophische, wissenschaftstheoretische und
methodologische berucksichtigt.
I seemingly had it all; The cars, the bikes, the boats, the
houses. A beautiful wife who loved me and my own successful
business. What could possibly be wrong.? Maybe the fact that I
didn't take interest in any of it. I was lost in depression and
didn't know why. So I drank and drank and drank. Sleep and alcohol
seems my only refuge. Come with me through the looking glass and
back again and see what I have found. It could possibly save your
life.
In this memoir, Wagner explores his substance abuse, shares his
experiences, discusses what he's learned, examines the twelve-step
program, and imparts the principles he believes in that help him to
lead a joyful and productive life. From his birth in Germany,
immigrating to the United States at age five, and surviving a
volatile upbringing, Wagner highlights key events in his life and
examines his descent into substance abuse and his journey back to
sobriety.
In "Tears of the Son, " Wagner relives some of his darkest days,
but he shows how those experiences shaped him as a person and are
helping him transform from just a human doing to a true human
being.

Mein Bauch entscheidet." Kenntnisse daruber, weshalb ein Konsument
ein Produkt einem Substitutionsprodukt vorzieht, stehen im Zentrum
der Betrachtung bei der Untersuchung der Kaufentscheidung. Der
Ansatzpunkt fur Marketinguntersuchungen liegt daher im Wesentlichen
bei der Auswahl zwischen verschiedenen Marken einer
Produktkategorie. Im Hinblick auf die okonomische Relevanz spielt
das Know-how des Konsumentenverhaltens eine grosse Rolle. Steigende
Werbebudgets in Verbindung mit einem stetig hohen Grad fehlender
Wahrnehmung von Markenunterschieden fuhren dazu, dass die
Kaufentscheidung nicht unmittelbar von den primaren
Produkteigenschaften abhangig gemacht wird. Als relevantes Beispiel
soll die Firma Apple, genau genommen der MP3-Player iPod" dienen.
Obwohl es eine betrachtliche Anzahl von Herstellern gibt, welche
ahnliche MP3-Player anbieten, gelang es Apple in den USA einen
Marktanteil von uber 70%, in diesem Segment zu schaffen, der
zweiterfolgreichste Anbieter kommt dabei auf nicht mal 10%. In
diesem Fall lasst sich eindeutig ausmachen, dass die
Kaufentscheidung nicht in erster Linie von der eigentlichen
Produkteigenschaft, dem Abspielen von Musik, sondern von weiteren
Faktoren abhangig ist. Lassen sich die Faktoren, welche den
Entscheidungsprozess beeinflussen und somit fur einen Grossteil der
Kaufer massgeblich sein mussen, eindeutig bestimmen, so ist in der
Folge ein kundenorientiertes Marketing moglich. Ziel der Arbeit ist
es, verschiedene Verfahren zur Analyse der Kaufentscheidung
darzustellen, sowie deren Vorzuge und Schwachen zu benennen.
Insbesondere soll aber auch die Vielfalt von Ansatzpunkten zur
Analyse aufgezeigt werden, wie auch die Metho
Der Autor widmet diese Studie dem komplexen literarischen Werk
Walter Benjamins. Die einzelnen Kapitel des Bandes zeichnen den
Einfluss der Epochen nach. Ausgehend von alteren avantgardistischen
Traditionen der Aufklarung, der Franzoesischen Revolution und des
Vormarz bezieht Benjamin jungere Epochen des Nachmarz und der
Jahrhundertwende um 1900 in seine Betrachtung ein, um sich mit den
kunstlerischen Revolutionen seiner Epoche, der Weimarzeit,
auseinanderzusetzen. Diese Revolutionen bedienen sich wiederum
technischer Neuerungen, vor allem des Films. Die Vorstellung, dass
literaturwissenschaftliche wie auch philosophische Forschungen die
Einbeziehung des historischen und zeitgeschichtlichen Kontexts
erfordern, erklart, warum der Verfasser bedeutende Autoren und
Kunstler des 20. Jahrhunderts, wie etwa Siegfried Kracauer, Adolf
Loos und Paul Klee wurdigt, deren Leistung sie in die Nahe Walter
Benjamins ruckt. Als der Kulturphilosoph Gerhard Wagner im Herbst
2013 funfundsechzigjahrig verstarb, hinterliess er als sein
Hauptwerk diese Monographie uber Walter Benjamin, an der er bis
zuletzt gearbeitet hatte und die sich in seinem Nachlass fast
vollendet vorfand.
Choice architecture is everywhere. Nudging has become fashionable.
The EU and some Member states, including Germany, explore the
possibilities of informing their regulatory policies with
behavioural insights. This book provides a cutting-edge overview of
a rapidly evolving field, reflecting on constitutional challenges,
contested case and ethical choices. The volume emerged from a
conference held at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin in January 2015,
and from discussions and a symposium on Verfassungsblog.
