This book offers an alternative perspective to the reigning socio-political and economic approaches to evaluating media systems and why and how they function. Peter Gross outlines a cultural model, a "kaleidoscopic cultural prism," for assessing the nature and functioning of these systems. By testing this model in one Eastern European country, Romania, Gross contributes to existing scholarship on media theory, media and transformation, East and Central European media, Romanian media, and East and Central European transformations in general. Awareness of the inherent negatives in the cultural bricolage accumulated over the centuries while Romanians lived under physical, administrative, and ideological dominance of various empires is increasingly sown among the new generations. This reality makes a culture-driven understanding of Romania’s media system even more urgent and meaningful for comprehending the evolving transformation. Scholars of communication, media studies, and Romanian studies will find this book of particular interest.

Media Transformations in the Post-Communist World: Eastern Europe's Tortured Path to Change, edited by Peter Gross and Karol Jakubowicz, is a collection of analyses of Eastern European media by some of the most distinguished scholars in the field. This in-depth exploration shows how despite positive changes after the fall of Communism, the transformations of societal institutions, including the mass media, have turned out to be slow, uncertain, and unsatisfying to many when measured against the admittedly ambiguous and overly Panglossian expectations. This collection offers readers a different view of post-Communist media by examining the mass media's evolution in the region from a more holistic perspective. The contributors to this volume respond to essential questions, including: Is the post-Communist transition and transformation over? When can it be considered over? Each chapter contributes to our understanding of these questions by offering theoretical overviews and country-specific studies. This collection serves as an affirmation that the study of mass media is essential to understanding the nature and workings of democracy in the long-suffering nations of Central and Eastern Europe, with international applications. Media Transformations in the Post-Communist World is an indispensable contribution to the study of Eastern Europe after Communism, and the transformations of mass media in the region.

From the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comes Mike Carey's epic run with the devil himself collected together in a series of hardcover omnibuses for the first time ever! Cast out of Heaven, thrown down to rule in Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his post and abandoned his kingdom for the mortal city of Los Angeles. Emerging from the pages of writer Neil Gaiman's award-winning series The Sandman, the former Lord of Hell is now enjoying a quiet retirement as the propretor of Lux, L.A.'s most elite piano bar. But now an assignment from the Creator Himself is going to change all that. If Lucifer agrees to do Heaven's dirty work, he can name his own price--but both the task and reward are more than they seem. Thrown into a position of great threat and ultimate opportunity, Lucifer knows that threading a path through this maze will require the harshest of sacrifices. Collects Sandman Presents: Lucifer #1-3, Lucifer issues #1-35 and Lucifer: Nirvana #1.

Das vorliegende Buch ist aus Vorlesungen entstanden, die wir seit 18 Jahren an der Rheinisch Westfalischen Technischen Hochschule in Aachen fur Nichtphysiker gehalten haben. Bei der Neuorgallisation der fruheren "Grossen Vorlesung" im Wintersemester 70/71 entstanden we gen der grossen Studentenzahlen mehrere parallele Einfuhrungvorlesungen. Diese wurden jeweils bestimmten Ausbildungsgangen zugeordnet. Dadurch war es moeglich, den inhalt lichen Wunschen der einzelnen Fachrichtungen entgegenzukommen, d. h. unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte zu setzen und unterschiedliche Semesterwochenstunden vorzusehen. Dabei sind die Studienreformer aber unter dem Druck der OEffentlichkeit, die eine Studienzeit verkurzung erstrebte, einem Missverstandnis erlegen: Sie hatten offensichtlich den klassischen Facherkanon "Mechanik, Akustik, Warme . . . " - oder so ahnlich - vor Augen. Bei der Durch sicht der Studienordnungen fanden sie dann scheinbar das gleiche immer wieder: "Technische Mechanik, Technische Akustik, Technische Warmelehre . . . " und so wussten sie gleich, wo die Axt zum Entrumpeln der Studiengange angesetzt werden musste! Es sollte den Studenten genugen, alles nur einmal vorgesetzt zu bekommen. Die Intentionen bei der Veranstaltungs typen sind aber grundverschieden. Die Methode des Ingenieurs zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er in Kenntnis relevanter Naturgesetze diese anwendet, um Maschinen, Werkstoffe und Verfahren zu entwickeln, die dem Menschen neue Moeglichkeiten eroeffnen.

Die vorliegende Sammlung von Aufgaben und Loesungen ist aus den "UEbungen" und Vordiplom-Klausuren entstanden, die an der RWTH in Aachen fur die Stu dierenden der Ingenieurwissenschaften durchgefuhrt werden. Der Umfang der Lehrveranstaltungen im Nebenfach Physik betragt, je nach Fachrichtung, 8 Se mesterwochenstunden Vorlesung mit 2 Stunden UEbungen oder nur 2 Semester wochenstunden mit einer Stunde UEbungen. Im letzten Fall ist der Stoff auf die Kapitel "Wellen, Optik, Struktur der Materie" beschrankt, wahrend im ersten Fall alle Kapitel der makroskopischen Physik und "Struktur der Materie" beruhrt werden. Die Reduktion der Physik auf 2 Semesterwochenstunden hat sich im Rahmen der Studienreform durchgesetzt und basiert auf der durchaus anfechtbaren Hy pothese, dass die ausgelassenen Kapitel in den Vorlesungen Technische Mecha nik, Elektrotechnik, Technische Thermodynamik und Werkstoffkunde erganzt wurden. Zwar steht die Reduktion der Physikausbildung im Widerspruch zu den Anspruchen der modernen "High Technology", die sowohl bei der Werkstoff entwicklung als auch bei der Verfahrens-und Produktionstechnik mehr denn je physikalische Kenntnisse fordert. Aber dem Stundenkurzen der Bildungspolitiker sind inhaltliche Bedenken nicht gewachsen! Das mit dieser Aufgabensammlung angestrebte Ziel ist, mit Hilfe der in der Vor lesung erarbeiteten Gesetze konkrete Beispiele zu verstehen und quantitativ zu beschreiben. Dabei soll das zu loesende Problem nicht detaillierter formuliert wer den als noetig, da es der wichtigste und kreativste Schritt des Lernenden ist, die Gesetze zu assoziieren, die fur das Problem relevant sind.

Oft wird Marketing mit Werbung verwechselt. Dabei umfasst es vielmehr als nur die sichtbaren T tigkeiten Werbung und Vertrieb. Marketing in all seinen Auspr gungen ist sowohl Unternehmensfunktion als auch ein umfassendes Konzept, dass den Kunden in den Mittelpunkt der Gesch ftsaktivit ten stellt. Nichts ist f r ein Unternehmen existenzbedrohender als am Kunden "vorbei zu produzieren." Marktforschungen sind wichtig um das Marktumfeld zu verstehen und auf Kundenbed rfnisse eingehen zu k nnen sowie diesen mit geeigneten Marketing-Instrumenten zu begegnen. Besonders in dynamischen M rkten gilt es Dienstleistungen, Produkte und Marken richtig zu positionieren und gut zu kommunizieren. Mit Hilfe des richtigen Marketing-Mix grenzt man sich von der Konkurrenz ab und schafft erfolgreiche Unternehmensidentit ten und Mehrwert f r Kunden. Sollen im Ausland neue M rkte erschlossen werden, muss eine globale Ausrichtung des Unternehmens durch kritische und zielgerichtete Auseinandersetzung mit erweiterter Perspektive auf marktspezifische Gegebenheiten innerhalb des Internationalen Marketing stattfinden. Nur die Unternehmen werden sich durchsetzen, die ihre Kunden am besten zufriedenstellen. Die EU-Osterweiterung ist eine Chance im n heren Ausland neue Absatzm rkte zu erschlie en, birgt aber auch Risiken, die es in der Marktforschung abzusch tzen und im weiteren Marketing-Prozess zu berblicken gilt.

Entangled Evolutions - Media and Democratization in Eastern Europe (Hardcover): Peter Gross Entangled Evolutions - Media and Democratization in Eastern Europe (Hardcover)
Peter Gross
R1,080 Discovery Miles 10 800 Out of stock

The revolutions of 1989 swept away Eastern Europe's communist governments and created expectations on the part of many observers that post-communist media would lead the liberated societies in establishing and embracing democratic political cultures. Peter Gross finds that it was utopian to hold such expectations of the media in societies in transition.

On the one hand, those countries' media professionals had all learned their jobs under the communist regimes and could not instantly transform themselves into guides for a politically enabled populace, Gross argues. On the other hand, newcomers to the media world, even those who were notable literary figures, viewed themselves as social and political leaders rather than mere informers and facilitators of the resocialization required to form new democracies. The news media have remained highly politicized and partisan.

So how are the media, civil society, and political culture related in societies in transition? And can changes in these relationships be anticipated? To address these questions, "Entangled Evolutions" examines media in post-1989 Eastern Europe. It studies the effects of privatization of the media, journalists' relations to political figures, institutional structures such as media laws, professional journalistic culture, and the media's relation to their market. Sources include interviews with journalists and politicians, sociological and political data from national surveys, and media audience studies.
