The Middle East is an area of great importance globally, yet misperceptions abound. Events have made it a region of special interest to the West and so the search for understanding gains momentum. This publication is intended to clarify the region’s complex history and issues. In developing this project, the contributors’ set out to explore seven significant themes that are usually not found in other sources. While many books focus on political history and conflicts, this two-volume work deals specifically with culture, religion, women, economics, governance, and media, as well as the role that the region’s modern history has played in shaping its society and worldview.

Winner of the AIA Book Prize for a research monograph in the field of English Language and Linguistics (2016) Common patterns of interactions are altered in the digital world and new patterns of communication have emerged, challenging previous notions of what communication actually is in the contemporary age. Online configurations of interaction, such as video chats, blogging, and social networking practices demand profound rethinking of the categories of linguistic analysis, given the blurring of traditional distinctions between oral and written discourse in digital texts. This volume reconsiders underlying linguistic and semiotic frameworks of analysis of spoken and written discourse in th...
Mit Social Software bezeichnet man computernetzwerkgestützte Systeme zur Zusammenarbeit von Teilnehmern. Der Begriff bezieht sich vor allem auf neuere Anwendungen wie Wikis, Weblogs, gemeinsame Fotosammlungen, kollaborativ erstellte Verschlagwortungsseiten und Instant Messaging. In der Regel gilt, dass die Nutzer die jeweiligen Inhalte selbst erstellen und dadurch auch ein Gefühl von Gemeinschaft entsteht bzw. unterstützt wird. In der Einführung wird ein Überblick über Social Software-Anwendungen gegeben. Dabei werden auch die Herausforderungen für die Medien- und Kommunikationsforschung thematisiert. In den Beiträgen werden Themen behandelt wie die Erstellung von Open Source Software und die Auswirkungen von Weblogs, Wikis, Gesundheitsforen, Online Rollenspielen, Instant Messaging und Social Software in der Organisationskommunikation.
Die Information und Interaktion von Migranten findet inzwischen immer häufiger über das Internet statt. Dort tauschen sie sich mit Nutzern sowohl im Aufnahmeland als auch ihren Herkunftsländern aus. Auf Websites, in Foren und Chats informieren sie sich über soziale und politische Themen beider Länder, diskutieren und nehmen an Online-Petitionen, Abstimmungen oder virtuellen Veranstaltungen teil. Hierdurch bilden sich zum Teil neue ethnische, diasporische bzw. transnationale Online-Gemeinschaften. Insgesamt übernimmt das Internet und dessen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten so eine wichtige Funktion für die gesellschaftliche Partizipation von Migranten im Aufnahmeland und auch für die Entwicklung ihrer Herkunftsländer.
The Internet and World Wide Web have revolutionized access to information. Users now store information across multiple platforms from personal computers to smartphones and websites. As a consequence, data management concepts, methods and techniques are increasingly focused on distribution concerns. Now that information largely resides in the network, so do the tools that process this information. This book explains the foundations of XML with a focus on data distribution. It covers the many facets of distributed data management on the Web, such as description logics, that are already emerging in today's data integration applications and herald tomorrow's semantic Web. It also introduces the machinery used to manipulate the unprecedented amount of data collected on the Web. Several 'Putting into Practice' chapters describe detailed practical applications of the technologies and techniques. The book will serve as an introduction to the new, global, information systems for Web professionals and master's level courses.
