First published in 1997, Bullying presents a comprehensive overview
of the widespread and persistent problem of bullying which results
in the anxiety and distress of many thousands of children and young
people. This book is based on the premise that bullying is learned
behaviour that has to be challenged wherever it occurs, be it in
families, schools, or to other community contexts. It provides
tested intervention and prevention programmes in a wide range of
environments and institutions, concentrating not only on the
behaviour of children and young people, but on the behaviour of the
adults who set their models of behaviour. This book will interest
teachers, parents, community, and social workers and those in the
police, legal and medical professions.
Peter Panyoczki is at home on two continents and thus his life is
that of a perpetual emigrant - a person permanently on the move,
which is also reflected in his work that is permeated by signs of
presence during absence. He belongs to the 1980s generation of
artists who polemically rejected conceptual art yet did not simply
return to figurative art. Instead, they have a conceptual interest
in the question of art as a medium: art is perceived as a medium
when its visibility is put to the test. His work expresses the
paradox of communication that refuses to reveal itself by providing
information of what it is made of. It is pleasantly free of
morality, while at the same time it does not avoid the tension
created by self-irony and a socially reflected "cultural
criticism." This monograph presents his work of the past 13 years,
investigating it from various aspects in a series of very different
contributions.
