"Providing detailed case studies, this book explores the vibrant digital expressions of diverse groups of Muslim cybernauts: religious clerics and Sufi mystics, feminists and fashionistas, artists and activists, Hajj pilgrims and celebrities. Together, these stories span a vast cultural and geographic landscape, including Indonesia, Iran, the Middle East, and the United States. These case studies are contextualized within the backdrop of broader social trends, including racism and Islamophobia, gender dynamics, celebrity culture, identity politics, and the shifting dynamics of contemporary religious piety and practice. Authors examine a wide-range of digital multimedia technologies as primary ''texts." These include websites, podcasts, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube channels, online magazines and discussion forums, and religious apps. The book's contributors draw on the methodological and theoretical models of multiple academic disciplines, including Religious Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Global Studies, Communication and Media Studies, Religious Studies, and Islamic Studies"--

Das Autorenteam formuliert eine Theorie zum Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien. Ziel ist ein gleichberechtigter Zugang für alle Mediennutzenden, unabhängig von deren Medienerfahrung, -kompetenz oder Lebenshintergrund. Auf dieser Grundlage formulieren Autorin und Autor zwei Qualitätsmerkmale für eine bildungsorientierte Mediendidaktik: Die explorative Neugier durch Umgang mit Medien über Medien fördern und Medien dem eigenen Erkenntnisinteresse gemäß einsetzen. Der Ansatz "E-Inclusion" soll zu einem produktiven Fachdiskurs der Medienpädagogik aus bildungs- und diversitätssensibler Perspektive beitragen. Der Band richtet sich an Medienpädagog:innen, Lehrer:innen und Sozialarbeiter:innen sowie an alle, die sich mit dem Thema Digitalisierung in pädagogischen Kontexten beschäftigen.
The first stand-alone textbook for at least ten years on this increasingly hot topic in times of global climate change and sustainability in ecosystems. Ecological biochemistry refers to the interaction of organisms with their abiotic environment and other organisms by chemical means. Biotic and abiotic factors determine the biochemical flexibility of organisms, which otherwise easily adapt to environmental changes by altering their metabolism. Sessile plants, in particular, have evolved intricate biochemical response mechanisms to fit into a changing environment. This book covers the chemistry behind these interactions, bottom up from the atomic to the system's level. An introductory part e...
This practical handbook provides a clearly structured, concise and comprehensive account of the huge variety of atmospheric and related measurements relevant to meteorologists and for the purpose of weather forecasting and climate research, but also to the practitioner in the wider field of environmental physics and ecology. The Springer Handbook of Atmospheric Measurements is divided into six parts: The first part offers instructive descriptions of the basics of atmospheric measurements and the multitude of their influencing factors, fundamentals of quality control and standardization, as well as equations and tables of atmospheric, water, and soil quantities. The subsequent parts present c...
In recent years, the financialization of housing has become a major challenge to many cities across the globe, not the least because it tends to favor the interests of global finance over the needs of residents. Based on three case studies in the city regions of Zurich, Birmingham and Lyon, the present investigation analyzes the interplay of housing governance and policies over the past 20 years against the backdrop of the financialization of housing.
The media have now become ubiquitous, mainly due to the technical opportunities offered by smartphones and other mobile communication devices. Media communication is no longer initiated by large broadcasting companies alone; instead, anyone can now communicate publicly through social media. In addition, communications can also be created by machines & such as social bots, for example. These countless changes in the field of media and communication are giving rise to ethical questions that go far beyond the traditional topics of media ethics such as the ethics of journalism, and pose new moral and legal challenges to society and institutions such as the Church. This volume analyses and discusses these developments from the points of view of theological media ethics.
This handbook focuses on the interpersonal aspects of language in use, exploring key concepts such as face, im/politeness, identity, or gender, as well as mitigation, respect/deference, and humour in a variety of settings. The volume includes theoretical overviews as well as empirical studies from experts in a range of disciplines within linguistics and communication studies and provides a multifaceted perspective on both theoretical and applied approaches to the role of language in relational work.
"DaF und DaZ in Zeichen von Tradition und Innovation" – so lautete das Motto der 47. Jahrestagung für Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache, die Ende März 2020 hätte stattfinden sollen. Es hat sich bereits in mehrfacher Hinsicht als passend erwiesen: So wurde die Jahrestagung kurz vor ihrer Durchführung pandemiebedingt abgesagt und nur einen Monat später – damals ganz innovativ – unter dem Namen "Marburger FaDaF-Thementage" als erste große Online-Konferenz des Fachs in den digitalen Raum überführt. Gleichzeitig ist dieser Tagungsband – ganz traditionell – der letzte, der in der Reihe "Materialien Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache" erscheint. Der Band versammelt ausgewählte...
