Digital Communication and Media Linguistics
This textbook offers an interdisciplinary, comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the media linguistics approaches to explain and understand digital communication and multimodality. Linking the fields of communication studies, applied linguistics and journalism, it grounds communication practices in a deep understanding of the social and societal implications of language use in digital media. The tools to analyse multimodal texts are analysed in light of the advantages and constraints that different communication modes pose, both individually and in combination. Aimed at upper level undergraduates and graduates in applied linguistics, communication and media studies, including journalism and PR, this textbook contains case studies and professional examples highlighting the interplay between language use and digital communication and encouraging the reader to reflect on the themes covered, and put the acquired knowledge into practice. Online resources for students include videos, writing techniques, a guide to multimodal texts analysis, additional case studies and a glossary.
Queering Desire
Queering Desire explores, with unprecedented interdisciplinary scope, contemporary configurations of lesbian, bi, queer women’s, and non-binary people’s experiences of identity and desire. Taking an intersectional feminist and trans-inclusive approach, and incorporating new and established identities such as non-binary, masculine of centre (MOC), butch, and femme, this collection examines how the changing landscape for gender and sexual identities impacts on queer culture in productive and transformative ways. Within queer studies, explorations of desire, longing, and eroticism have often neglected AFAB, transfeminine, and non-binary people’s experiences. Through 25 newly commissioned ...

Bismarck and Mitteleuropa
"His labors were often fruitless. His own master, Wilhelm I, and the Prussian bureaucrats, diplomats, and courtiers with direct access to this first of Bismarck's Wilhelmian nemeses could be at least as obstructionist in Berlin as Franz Joseph and his minions in Vienna. In fact, all too often Bismarck's lack of control over the Prussian elites was in part responsible for the resistance of the Habsburg ruling circle.".

Kollegiale Selbstverwaltung als Führungsprinzip
Inga Enderle arbeitet die theoretischen Grundgedanken der Arbeitsweise „kollegiale Selbstverwaltung“ im Sinne eines Führungsprinzips systematisch auf und prüft empirisch den Erfolg der gegenwärtigen Umsetzung. Zudem stellt die Autorin eine Verbindung zu aktuell diskutierten Führungsansätzen her. „Kollegiale Selbstverwaltung“ beschreibt ursprünglich die Art der Zusammenarbeit an Waldorfschulen, welche für diese zwar konstitutiv ist, wissenschaftlich aber kaum erfasst wurde, sodass sich zahlreiche Missverständnisse in der Praxis einschleichen konnten. Obwohl die Idee etwa 100 Jahren alt ist, lassen sich jedoch deutliche Parallelen zu derzeit entstehenden Ansätzen erkennen, die Führung ebenso von einer höheren Stufe menschlicher Bewusstseinsentwicklung aus definieren. So kann „kollegiale Selbstverwaltung“ einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Führungsforschung leisten.
