Environmental Sociology - European Perspectives and Interdisciplinary Challenges (Hardcover, 2010 ed.): Matthias Gross, Harald... Environmental Sociology - European Perspectives and Interdisciplinary Challenges (Hardcover, 2010 ed.)
Matthias Gross, Harald Heinrichs
R4,924 Discovery Miles 49 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Despite being a relatively young sub-discipline, European environmental sociology has changed considerably in the last decades towards more interdisciplinary collaborations and problem solving. Current trends such as global environmental modernization and processes of economic, political and socio-cultural globalization, fuelled by developments of transport, environmental flows, scientific uncertainty, and information technologies, have fostered new conceptual approaches that move beyond classical sociological mind-sets toward broader attempts to connect to other disciplines.

Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies - Second Edition (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Matthias Gross, Linsey McGoey Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies - Second Edition (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Matthias Gross, Linsey McGoey
R6,152 Discovery Miles 61 520 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Once treated as the absence of knowledge, ignorance has now become a highly influential and rapidly growing topic in its own right. This new edition of the seminal text in the field is fully revised and includes new and expanded chapters on religion; domestic law and jurisprudence; sexuality and gender studies; memory studies; international relations; psychology; decision-theory; and colonial history. The study of ignorance has attracted growing attention across the natural and social sciences where a wide range of scholars explore the social life and political issues involved in the distribution and strategic use of not knowing. This handbook reflects the interdisciplinary field of ignorance studies by drawing contributions from economics, sociology, history, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology, feminist studies, and related fields to serve as a path-breaking guide to the political, legal and social uses of ignorance in social and political life. This book will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the important role played by ignorance in contemporary society, culture and politics. Chapter 21 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com.

Green European - Environmental Behaviour and Attitudes in Europe in a Historical and Cross-Cultural Comparative Perspective... Green European - Environmental Behaviour and Attitudes in Europe in a Historical and Cross-Cultural Comparative Perspective (Paperback)
Audrone Telesiene, Matthias Gross
R1,333 Discovery Miles 13 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Green European addresses the quest for a better understanding of European type(s) of environmentalism. This monograph focuses on public attitudes and behaviours and the culturally rooted as well as country specific differences. The book addresses the wider issue that many European countries are rendered 'green' or as having an advanced environmental awareness, but the question - 'how green are Green Europeans really', is yet to be answered. The book covers a variety of unique data-driven comparative studies and is divided into three parts: the first addresses perceptions of environmental and technological threats and risks, the second part deals with environmental activism in Europe, the third discusses environmental attitudes, environmental concerns and their imminent link to personal pro-environmental behaviour. The empirical comparative nature of the contributions is enabled by data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP).

Renewable Energies (Paperback): Matthias Gross, Rudiger Mautz Renewable Energies (Paperback)
Matthias Gross, Rudiger Mautz
R1,364 Discovery Miles 13 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Renewable Energy normally refers to usable energy sources that are an alternative to fuel sources, but without the negatively evaluated consequences of the replaced fuels. Although energy issues have a long tradition in sociology and other social sciences, it may now be high time to conceptualize these in sociological terms as the lynchpin in our understanding of the way societies are set to develop in the 21st century. This concise book focuses on sociological attempts at better framing contemporary theories of energy transformations and to deliver an accessible overview on the relationships between different types of renewable energy sources and their practical usages in modern societies. A strong focus is laid upon new forms of environmental governance and unavoidable knowledge gaps triggered by attempts to transform contemporary energy systems to renewable ones. Critical topics include the challenge of transition from centralized to decentralized system structures, the integration of renewable energies into existing energy structures or the replacement of these, coping strategies to unforeseen risks and conflict issues, and socio-cultural reservations to new technologies connected to renewable energies.

The Oxford Handbook of Energy and Society presents an overview of this expanding area that has evolved dramatically over the past decade, away from one largely dominated by structural, political economic treatments on the one hand, and social-psychological studies of individual-level attitudes and behaviors on the other, toward a far more conceptually and methodologically rich and exciting field that brings in, for example, social practices, system complexity, risk theory, social studies of science, and social movements theories. This volume seeks to capture the variety of scales and methods, and range of both conceptual and empirical analyses that define the field, while drawing particular attention to indigenous peoples, poverty, political power, communities and cities. Organized into seven sections, chapters cover social theory and energy-society relations, political-economic perspectives, consumption dynamics, energy equity and energy poverty, energy and publics, energy and governance, as well as emerging trends.

Filme, die die oftmals erschwerten Lebensbedingungen der afroamerikanischen Bev lkerung in den USA portr tieren, haben l ngst den Sprung ins Mainstream-Kino geschafft. Um diese Filme realistischer erscheinen zu lassen, wird von den Filmfiguren African American English gesprochen, was der Dialekt ist, der von einem Gro teil der Schwarzen in Amerika verwendet wird. Werden diese Filme nun aber f r den deutschen Markt synchronisiert, so f llt das Ergebnis oftmals schlechter aus, als man es von anderen synchronisierten Filmen gewohnt ist, und die Glaubw rdigkeit der Originalfassung geht verloren. Zwar gilt die bertragung von Dialekten als eine der schwersten Aufgaben bei der Filmsynchronisation, aber dennoch gibt es einige M glichkeiten, um auf die speziellen Anforderungen bei der Synchronisation von African American English einzugehen. In dieser Studie soll deshalb zun chst ein genaues Bild von dieser sprachlichen Variet t gezeichnet werden, um dann anschlie end genau analysieren zu k nnen, welche M glichkeiten es gibt, um diesen Dialekt im Deutschen quivalent wiedergeben zu k nnen. Au erdem werden das Entstehen einer Synchronfassung und die damit verbundenen Schwierigkeiten genauer beschrieben, wobei auch M ngel beim Synchronisationsprozess aufgezeigt werden. Anhand der Analyse von vier Filmen wird gezeigt, dass es einige Vorgehensweisen gibt, mit deren Hilfe die Synchronisation von African American English verbessert werden k nnte, damit ein hnlich hohes Niveau erreicht werden kann, wie es sonst f r deutsche Synchronfassungen blich ist. Des Weiteren werden auch Verbesserungsvorschl ge zum Synchronisationsprozess gemacht, um die Qualit t noch weiter aufzuwerten.
