R2,256 Discovery Miles 22 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the wake of the French Revolution, history was no longer imagined as a cyclical process in which the succession of ruling dynasties was as predictable as the change in the seasons. Contemporaries wrestled with the meaning of this historical rupture, which represented both the progress of the Enlightenment and the darkness of the Terreur. French authors discussed the political events in their country, but they were not the only ones to do so. As the effects of the French Revolution became more palpable across the border, German authors pondered their implications in newspapers, political pamphlets, and historiographical treatises. German women also participated in these debates, but they often embedded their political commentary in literary texts because they were discouraged, and sometimes even barred, from publishing in explicitly political and public venues. As such, literature, in the sense of belles lettres, had a compensatory function for women: it allowed them to engage in political discussion without explicitly encroaching on certain domains that were perceived as a male preserve. As women writers explored the uses of literature for political commentary they adapted major literary genres in order to consolidate their position in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century literary sphere. Those genres included domestic fiction, the historical novel, historical tragedy, autobiography, the Robinsonade, and the Bildungsroman. Women writers challenged the images of women traditionally portrayed in these genres: dutiful daughter, submissive wife, caring mother, tantalizing mistress, angelic figure, and passive victim. Gender and Genre discusses six women writers who replaced these traditional female types with women warriors and emigrants as protagonists in texts published between 1795 and 1821: Therese Huber, Caroline de la Motte Fouque, Christine Westphalen, Regula Engel, Sophie von La Roche, and Henriette Froelich. These authors' protagonists question traditional images of passive femininity, yet their battered bodies also depict the precarious position of women in general, and women writers in particular, during this period. Because women writers were attacked by their male counterparts who attempted to halt their foray into the literary marketplace, these texts are as much about power dynamics in the German literary establishment as they are about French politics.

Tina Hilgers, Laura MacDonald
R2,737 Discovery Miles 27 370 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean is no longer perpetrated primarily by states against their citizens, but by a variety of state and non-state actors struggling to control resources, territories, and populations. This book examines violence at the subnational level to illuminate how practices of violence are embedded within subnational configurations of space and clientelistic networks. In societies shaped by centuries of violence and exclusion, inequality and marginalization prevail at the same time that democratization and neoliberalism have decentralized power to regional and local levels, where democratic and authoritarian practices coexist. Within subnational arenas, unique configurations - of historical legacies, economic structures, identities, institutions, actors, and clientelistic networks - result in particular patterns of violence and vulnerability that are often strikingly different from what is portrayed by aggregate national-level statistics. The chapters of this book examine critical cases from across the region, drawing on new primary data collected in the field to analyze how a range of political actors and institutions shape people's lives and to connect structural and physical forms of violence.

Bodies in Transition in the Health Humanities - Representations of Corporeality (Paperback): Lisa M. DeTora, Stephanie Mathilde... Bodies in Transition in the Health Humanities - Representations of Corporeality (Paperback)
Lisa M. DeTora, Stephanie Mathilde Hilger
R1,285 Discovery Miles 12 850 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In recent years, the transitioning body has become the subject of increasing scholarly, medical, and political interest. This interdisciplinary collection seeks to enable productive dialogue about bodily transformation and its many potential meanings and possibilities. Recent high-profile sex transitions, such as Bruce Jenner's transformation into Caitlyn, have contributed to a proliferation of public and private debates about the boundaries of personal identity and the politics of gender. Sexual transition is only one possible type of bodily transformation, and bodies that change forms vex many binaries that underpin daily life such as male/female, gay/straight, well/unhealthy, able/disabled, beautiful/ugly, or adult/child. When transformations and transitions involve trauma, illness, injury, surgery or death, bodies can become culturally and socially illegible and enter the realm of abjection or even horror. Health humanities, a recent revision of medical humanities that includes patients and other nonphysicians, provides an interdisciplinary lens through which to read such bodily transformation and its representation in public culture. The authors of the essays in the present volume situate their work in this interdisciplinary space to enable productive dialogue about bodily transformation and its meanings in artistic, literary, visual, and health discourses. The essays in this volume discuss non-normative bodies from eighteenth-century France to present-day Iran and investigate narratives of cancer, aging, anorexia, AIDS, intersexuality, transsexuality, viruses, bacteria, and vaccinations. This collection will be of key interest to faculty and students in women' studies/gender studies, cultural studies, studies of visual and material culture, medical/health humanities, disability studies, and rhetorics of science, health and medicine, and will be a useful resource for scholars across interdisciplinary fields of study.

Aesthetic Disinterestedness - Art, Experience, and the Self (Hardcover): Thomas Hilgers Aesthetic Disinterestedness - Art, Experience, and the Self (Hardcover)
Thomas Hilgers
R4,429 Discovery Miles 44 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The notion of disinterestedness is often conceived of as antiquated or ideological. In spite of this, Hilgers argues that one cannot reject it if one wishes to understand the nature of art. He claims that an artwork typically asks a person to adopt a disinterested attitude towards what it shows, and that the effect of such an adoption is that it makes the person temporarily lose the sense of herself, while enabling her to gain a sense of the other. Due to an artwork's particular wealth, multiperspectivity, and dialecticity, the engagement with it cannot culminate in the construction of world-views, but must initiate a process of self-critical thinking, which is a precondition of real self-determination. Ultimately, then, the aesthetic experience of art consists of a dynamic process of losing the sense of oneself, while gaining a sense of the other, and of achieving selfhood. In his book, Hilgers spells out the nature of this process by means of rethinking Kant's and Schopenhauer's aesthetic theories in light of more recent developments in philosophy-specifically in hermeneutics, critical theory, and analytic philosophy-and within the arts themselves-specifically within film and performance art.

Bourdieu's Theory of Social Fields - Concepts and Applications (Hardcover): Mathieu Hilgers, Eric Mangez Bourdieu's Theory of Social Fields - Concepts and Applications (Hardcover)
Mathieu Hilgers, Eric Mangez
R4,455 Discovery Miles 44 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Bourdieu's theory of social fields is one of his key contributions to social sciences and humanities. However, it has never been subjected to genuine critical examination. This book fills that gap and offers a clear and wide-ranging introduction to the theory. It includes a critical discussion of its methodology and relevance in different subject areas in the social sciences and humanities. Part I "theoretical investigations" offers a theoretical account of the theory, while also identifying some of its limitations and discussing several strategies to overcome them. Part II "Education, culture and organization" presents the theory at work and highlights its advantages and disadvantages. The focus in Part III devoted to "The State" is on the formation and evolution of the State and public policy in different contexts. The chapters show the usefulness of field theory in describing, explaining and understanding the functioning of the State at different stages in its historical trajectory including its recent redefinition with the advent of the neoliberal age. A last chapter outlines a postcolonial use of the theory of fields.

R1,238 Discovery Miles 12 380 Out of stock

Dieses Buch zeigt die Bedeutung von Nachhaltigkeit für den Nonprofit-Sektor sowie die Herausforderungen und Ansätze für ein zukunftsfähiges Management in diesem Bereich. Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit ist ein wesentlicher Treiber der Ausrichtung von Organisationen. Zum einen spielt der Begriff Nachhaltigkeit für Nonprofit-Organisationen (NPOs) selbst eine Rolle, denn auch sie verbrauchen Ressourcen und sind in der Pflicht, diese nachhaltig einzusetzen. NPOs sind somit gefordert, Nachhaltigkeit gesteuert und systematisch in den eigenen Prozessen und Strukturen zu verankern. Des Weiteren übernehmen NPOs in der Gesellschaft vielfach eine besondere Rolle als Vehikel einer Nachhaltigkeitstransition, aus der sich ein vieldimensionaler Anspruch eines nachhaltigen Managements für NPOs ergibt.Renommierte Beitragsautor*innen diskutieren aus einer transdisziplinären Perspektive die Kernfrage, wie sich NPOs gegenüber aktuellen Veränderungen verhalten und welche Ansatzpunkte für ein nachhaltiges Management bereits existieren. Exemplarisch werden verschiedene Themengebiete und Handlungskonzepte aus dem Nonprofit-Sektor – wie z.B. das Klimaschutz-, Personal-, Marketing-, IT-, Hochschul- oder Kulturmanagement – herangezogen. Dieser Sammelband richtet sich an Expert*innen, Wissenschaftler*innen, Student*innen und Praktiker*innen verschiedenster Fachrichtungen mit dem Ziel, einen Einblick in das Thema der Nachhaltigkeit in Nonprofit-Organisationen zu geben.

R1,767 Discovery Miles 17 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book bridges the gap between knowledge management and technology. It embraces the complete lifecycle of knowledge, information, and data from how knowledge flows through an organization to how end users want to handle it and experience it. Whether your intent is to design and implement a single technology or a complete collection of KM systems, this book provides the foundations necessary for success. It will help you understand your organization's needs and opportunities, strategize and prioritize features and functions, design with the end user in mind, and finally build a system that your users will embrace and which will realize meaningful business value for your organization. The book is the culmination of the authors' collective careers, a combined sixty years of experience doing exactly what is detailed in this book. Their guidance has been honed by their own successes and failures as well as many others they have researched in order to provide a comprehensive study on KM transformations and the technologies that help to enable them. They have successfully applied this knowledge as the founders and leaders of the world's largest dedicated knowledge management consultancy, which runs these projects for many of the world's most complex organizations. They are writing as practitioners directly to other practitioners with the intent to enable them to apply and benefit from their knowledge and experience. "Compelling reading for KM practitioners looking to ensure their technology decisions support their business and organizational objectives." - Margot Brown, Director of Knowledge Management, World Bank Group "We are two years into our KM Transformation and if I'd had this book beforehand, it would have made the journey smoother and faster! This is a great playbook for how to plan, organize, and execute a KM transformation." - Stephanie Hill, Senior Director, Global Customer Services, PayPal

This book is situated in the field of medical humanities, and the articles continue the dialogue between the disciplines of literature and medicine that was initiated in the 1970s and has continued with ebbs and flows since then. Recently, the need to renew that interdisciplinary dialogue between these two fields, which are both concerned with the human condition, has resurfaced in the face of institutional challenges, such as shrinking resources and the disappearance of many spaces devoted to the exchange of ideas between humanists and scientists. This volume presents cutting-edge research by scholars keen on not only maintaining but also enlivening that dialogue. They come from a variety of cultural, academic, and disciplinary backgrounds and their essays are organized in four thematic clusters: pedagogy, the mind-body connection, alterity, and medical practice.
