Inhaltsangabe:Gang der Untersuchung: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, anhand einer inhaltsanalytischen Untersuchung des Printmediums Zeitung herauszufinden, wie das Thema Mobbing aufbereitet wird, welches Bild über das Phänomen Mobbing skizziert wird und welche Bedürfnisse so beim Rezipienten befriedigt werden. Der Analyse liegt die Annahme zugrunde, daß durch die Zeitungsartikel Informationen zu Mobbing vermittelt werden und diese die öffentliche Meinung prägen. Es soll transparent gemacht werden, inwieweit die Medienberichterstattung die Stigmatisierung von Mobbing-Betroffenen bestätigt. Zum besseren Verständnis des Themas wird im ersten Teil der Arbeit aufgezeigt, was Mobbing ist und wi...
Manuscripts, Market and the Transition to Print in Late Medieval Brittany surveys the production and marketing of non-monastic manuscripts and printed books over 150 years in late medieval Brittany, from the accession of the Montfort family to the ducal crown in 1364 to the duchy's formal assimilation by France in 1532. Brittany, as elsewhere, experienced the shift of manuscript production from monasteries to lay scriptoria and from rural settings to urban centers, as the motivation for copying the word in ink on parchment evolved from divine meditation to personal profit. Through her analysis of the physical aspects of Breton manuscripts and books, parchment and paper, textual layouts, scripts and typography, illumination and illustration, Diane Booton exposes previously unexplored connections between the tangible cultural artifacts and the society that produced, acquired and valued them. Innovatively, Booton's discussion incorporates archival research into the prices, wages and commissions associated with the manufacture of the works under discussion to shed new light on their economic and personal value.

A collection of many tales from the folklore of this region. Merlin of King Arthur fame is here as are fairies, goblins and witches of all kinds. There are stories of the Breton saints, Marie de France and Arthurian romances. In addition, there is background on the local traditions, costumes and ways of life.
This book investigates the space between the two languages of modern-day Brittany through a series of close readings of literary texts that represent Brittany or Bretonness in the French language. This is the space that is negotiated by translation, be it a smooth translation of Breton scenes and themes into a French fit for the salons of the capital, or a foreignizing translation of Breton motifs into a French that writhes and struggles to accommodate them. It is also the space negotiated by the bilingual author who writes in the shadow of the other language: the literary conventions of one may litter his work in the other, or the idioms and syntax of one may make their ghostly presence felt in the other. But it can equally be a space of violence as in the case of the writer whose whole community has lost its mother tongue, and writes under protest in the language of the cultural oppressor or colonizer. As the first sustained analysis of the literature produced between French and Breton, this book shows us how literary language is affected by such inter-cultural tensions, and also what it can mean to be caught between cultures.

Michael Jones is recognised on both sides of the Channel as an authority on late medieval Breton history. In this book he brings together much of his work on the subject, examining not only the administration of the duchy but also more intangible questions about the identity of a late medieval state.
