Representing 21st-Century Migration in Europe
The 21st century has witnessed some of the largest human migrations in history. Europe in particular has seen a major influx of refugees, redefining notions of borders and national identity. This interdisciplinary volume brings together leading international scholars of migration from perspectives as varied as literature, linguistics, area and cultural studies, media and communication, visual arts, and film studies. Together, they offer innovative interpretations of migrants and contemporary migration to Europe, enriching today’s political and media landscape, and engaging with the ongoing debate on forced mobility and rights of both extra-European migrants and European citizens.
Friends
This book offers a long overdue, extensive study of one of the most beloved television shows: Friends. Why has this sitcom become the seminal success that it is? And how does it continue to engage viewers around the world a quarter century after its first broadcast? Featuring original interviews with key creative personnel (including co-creator Marta Kauffman and executive producer Kevin S. Bright), the book provides answers by identifying a strategy of intimacy that informs Friends’ use of humour, performance, style and set design. The authors provide fascinating analyses of some of the most well-remembered scenes—the one where Ross can’t get his leather pants back on, and Ross and Ra...

"The Cultural Context in Business Communication" focuses on differences and similarities in business negotiations and written communication in intercultural settings. To set the scene, Edward T. Hall looks back at "culture" as an evolutionary concept and Charles Campbell explains the value of classical rhetoric in contemporary cultures.

Steven Weiss explores the proper character of six cultures: Chinese, French, Japanese, Mexican, Nigerian, and Saudi. Other chapters contrast English with cultures such as Chinese, German, Dutch, Finnish, and Irish. The book closes with two chapters on training for effective business communication and provide models in participatory training and gaming.
Erinnern und sich neu erfinden
Erinnern ist ein schöpferischer Vorgang, bei dem Phantasie und Erfindungsreichtum eine Schlüsselrolle spielen. Wenn wir unsere Erinnerung mit dem Schreiben verbinden, gewinnen wir Klarheit und bringen unsere Einzigartigkeit ans Licht. Unser Leben, unsere Familiengeschichte, bietet uns unerschöpflichen Erzählstoff, der geformt und mit anderen geteilt werden kann. Dieses Handbuch enthält Hintergrundwissen und wertvolle Anregungen für das selbstbiographische Schreiben. Interviews mit Autorinnen und Autoren vermitteln, wie andere an diese Herausforderung herangehen und geben spannende Einblicke in deren Motivation und Strategien.

Veien til ufrihet
Den kalde krigen tok slutt og det virket som om liberale demokratier hadde seiret og at det gikk mot en fredfull og globalisert verden, men erklærte vi seieren for tidlig? Det sies at fortiden er et annet land. Det kan også sies om fremtiden. Men hvilket land? For Europa og USA er svaret klart: Russland. Populisme og autoritære styresett har igjen funnet en grobunn i verden. Timothy Snyder viser oss hvordan Russland opererer i vesten for å ødelegge vestens styre og levesett ved å støtte høyrepopulister i Europa, invadere Ukraina og drive påvirkningskrig med Brexit og det amerikanske presidentvalget som omdreiningspunkter.
