A Different Journey
Eric McGrann is a young man who is filled with uncertainty as he enters the adult world of college and career decisions on the cusp of the 1960’s. But his twin, who had shared an almost identical life before, seems to know exactly what he wants to do in life. Watching his brother’s progress only makes Eric more undecided. He is drawn to the ever-changing kaleidoscope of the world around him as he heads from his native Minneapolis to the West Coast to seek answers to questions he has not yet formed. Stopping first in Los Angeles and later San Francisco, Eric is drawn to several unique people who share their life views with him. In Los Angeles, he learns about love. In the Bay Area, he experiences the antiwar movement. On his voyage of discovery, the love of a girl from his home town sustains him as Eric tries on more than one identity before he settles in Seattle. There, he finds himself and discovers his true passion.
Theories of Sustainable Development
While sustainability has become a buzzword in discussions about the environment and development, work on theories of sustainable development has received much less attention. However, theory is vital as understanding the origins and development of the concept is the key to achieving successful implementation of sustainability. This book offers an interdisciplinary collection of research articles on the theories of sustainable development, drawing on a wide range of subjects including history, politics, governance, complex systems, economics and philosophy. It advocates viewing sustainable development not only as the establishment of a permanent, globally practicable and future-capable mode o...
Transgovernance
‘Transgovernance: Advancing Sustainability Governance’ analyses the question what recent and ongoing changes in the relations between politics, science and media – together characterized as the emergence of a knowledge democracy – may imply for governance for sustainable development, on global and other levels of societal decision making, and the other way around: How can the discussion on sustainable development contribute to a knowledge democracy? How can concepts such as second modernity, reflexivity, configuration theory, (meta)governance theory and cultural theory contribute to a ‘transgovernance’ approach which goes beyond mainstream sustainability governance? This volume p...
Classical Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition from Ancient to Modern Times
Since its original publication by UNC Press in 1980, this book has provided thousands of students with a concise introduction and guide to the history of the classical tradition in rhetoric, the ancient but ever vital art of persuasion. Now, George Kennedy offers a thoroughly revised and updated edition of Classical Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition. From its development in ancient Greece and Rome, through its continuation and adaptation in Europe and America through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, to its enduring significance in the twentieth century, he traces the theory and practice of classical rhetoric through history. At each stage of the way, he demonstrates how new societies modified classical rhetoric to fit their needs. For this edition, Kennedy has updated the text and the bibliography to incorporate new scholarship; added sections relating to women orators and rhetoricians throughout history; and enlarged the discussion of rhetoric in America, Germany, and Spain. He has also included more information about historical and intellectual contexts to assist the reader in understanding the tradition of classical rhetoric.
Die Generation der Wendekinder
Seit 2011 stehen Wendekinder, als letzte partiell in der DDR sozialisierte Gruppe, welche sich in Teilen selbst als Dritte Generation Ostdeutschland bezeichnen, im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Mit diesem Band liegt eine transdisziplinäre Betrachtung des Phänomens vor. Dabei wird das Forschungsfeld in den Dimensionen Diskurs, Typen und Positionierung(en) kartiert. Im zweiten Moment ist durch die Bildung eines Analyserasters, dem Rostocker-Generationen-Modell, eine Betrachtung der Frage nach dem „Zusammenwachsen“ der beiden deutschen Staaten gelungen. Die Vielfalt der Beiträge verdeutlicht eine initiale Erkenntnis: Es handelt sich bei den Wendekindern um eine hochgradig diverse Generation, welcher jedoch aufgrund ihrer doppelten Sozialisation eine ausgleichende triangulierende Vermittlerposition zukommt.
OD ZGONU OJCA NARODÓW DO ŚMIERCI ORŁA KARPAT
Różne są sposoby pisania i rozumienia historii XX wieku. W tej książce dostrzec można dwa punkty ciężkości: miejsce Polski w kontekście środkowoeuropejskim i „odpamiętywanie” naszej przeszłości jako spuścizny po II wojnie światowej i PRL. Kraj między Rosją a Niemcami nie powinien odwracać się od historii. Międzynarodowe grono autorów, korzystając ze źródeł w kilkunastu językach, stara się złożyć elementy mozaiki, z których wyłania się pewien obraz pamięci.
Autobiographisches Schreiben nach 1989
Wird über die Reaktion auf die ,Wende‘ diskutiert, werden oft die ehemaligen DDR-BürgerInnen als ein Kollektiv betrachtet, dem eine gemeinsame Art des Denkens, Fühlens und Handelns zugeschrieben wird. Das Geschehen wird aber von den einzelnen Akteuren in der eigenen Lebenserzählung jeweils individuell verortet. Für jeden ist es ein „anderes Zeitalter seiner selbst" (W. Pinder). Das Denken an die DDR und an das Jahr 1989 müssen polyphon verstanden werden. In diesem mehrstimmigen Chor lassen sich gewisse gleichklingende Einheiten unterscheiden, die von SoziologInnen als generationsspezifisch wahrgenommen werden. Generationsspezifische Selbstverortung kann auch in zahlreich erschienen...
