Science Communication
The volume gives a multi-perspective overview of scholarly and science communication, exploring its diverse functions, modalities, interactional structures, and dynamics in a rapidly changing world. In addition, it provides a guide to current research approaches and traditions on communication in many disciplines, including the humanities, technology, social and natural sciences, and on forms of communication with a wide range of audiences.
The Gentleman
When Ronald Scott is abandoned by his mother, and left in a boarding school, he is an out-of-control child. A new P.E. teacher arrives and takes Ronald under his wing, only to groom and train him to become an expert in unarmed combat. Craig Tankville – head of MI5 – also has an interest in Ronald. Ronald has his own agenda in the form of a personal grudge against the growing number of guilty men who walk free from court, due to corrupt defence lawyers. Can the teacher and head of MI5 hone Ronald’s skills for their own means, or will Ronald always have his own agenda?
Your Whole Life
A holistic view of human development that rejects the conventional stages of childhood, adulthood, and old age When we talk about human development, we tend to characterize it as proceeding through a series of stages in which we are first children, then adolescents, and finally, adults. But as James Bernard Murphy observes, growth is not limited to the young nor is decline limited to the aged. We are never trapped within the horizon of a particular life stage: children anticipate adulthood and adults recapture childhood. According to Murphy, the very idea of stages of life undermines our ability to see our lives as a whole. In Your Whole Life, Murphy asks: what accounts for the unity of a hu...
Forschungsfeld Hochschulkommunikation
Hochschulen müssen sich verstärkt gegenüber Politik und Öffentlichkeit legitimieren. Dabei stehen sie sowohl im Wettbewerb miteinander als auch mit außeruniversitären Forschungs- und Bildungseinrichtungen. Entsprechend hat sich ihre Kommunikation nach innen und außen in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten erweitert und professionalisiert. Hochschulen sind wichtige Akteure und zugleich Gegenstand in öffentlichen wissenschafts- und bildungsbezogenen Diskursen – in etablierten Medien ebenso wie online und in Social Media. In diesem Band tragen führende WissenschaftlerInnen den kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Forschungsstand zu diesen Entwicklungen erstmals für den deutschsprachigen Raum zusammen und identifizieren Perspektiven für künftige Forschung.
Nachhaltige Entwicklung - transnational
Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist in den letzten Jahren zunehmend Gegenstand polnisch-deutscher Wissenschaftskooperation geworden. Das belegen auch die Beiträge dieses Buches, das aus der III. polnisch-deutschen Tagung zur Rahmenthematik »Nachhaltige Entwicklung - Von der wissenschaftlichen Forschung zur politischen Umsetzung« (2009, Katowice) hervorgegangen ist. Im Mittelpunkt standen erstens neue Aspekte des Konzepts der nachhaltigen Entwicklung, vor allem hinsichtlich politischer und institutioneller Orientierungen, und zweitens Probleme der Implementierung von Strategien nachhaltiger Entwicklung und damit verbundene Erfahrungen. Die zunächst bilateralen polnisch-deutschen Konferenzen zur N...
Genealogy of Popular Science
Despite the efforts of modern scholars to explain the origins of science communication as a social, rhetorical, and aesthetic phenomenon, most researchers approach the popularization of science from the perspective of present issues, thus ignoring its historical roots in classical culture along with its continuities, disruptions, and transformations. This volume fills this research gap with a genealogically reflected introduction into the popularization of science as a recurrent cultural technique. The category »popular science« is elucidated in interdisciplinary and diachronic dialogue, discussing case studies from all historical periods. Classicists, archaeologists, medievalists, art historians, sociologists, and historians of science provide the first diachronic and multi-layered approach to the rhetoric techniques, aesthetics, and societal conditions that have shaped the dissemination and reception of scientific knowledge.
The Language of Pick-Up Artists
This book adopts a corpus-based discourse analysis approach to the study of the communicative practices of pick-up artists, offering a systematic exploration of distinct language use in an online community that uses speed-seduction practices for short-term dating and sex. Drawing on a multi-million-word corpus comprising data from online forums, social media, informational websites, and YouTube videos, the volume explores the verbal practices and narrative framing techniques that pick-up artists (PUAs) draw upon in their interactions with women and the terminology-heavy language used in teaching pick-up to foster perceptions of scientific validity. The book also unpacks videos and reports of live interactions to study naturally occurring PUA discourse from different perspectives but also to more closely examine conceptual metaphors of competition and violence and critically reflect on the ethical considerations of working with such communities. This book will appeal to students and scholars in such disciplines as discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, computer-mediated communication, and language and media, as well as those interested in the study of language use online.
God Gave Rock and Roll to You
By combining musical styles young people loved with the wholesomeness their parents wanted, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) became a multimillion-dollar industry. In this book, author Leah Payne traces the history of contemporary Christian music in America and, in the process, demonstrates how the industry, its artists, and its fans shaped--and continue to shape--conservative, (mostly) white, Protestant evangelicalism.
Reason and Faith
This volume presents ten new essays in philosophy of religion that develop and critically engage themes from the work of Richard Swinburne--one of the most influential thinkers in the discipline over the last fifty years. Written by a team of experts, the essays focus on key debates in both natural theology and philosophical theology.
