O mundo foi surpreendido pela invasão da Ucrânia pela Rússia. À atmosfera pesada de uma pandemia letal, veio se somar o gosto velho e amargo da Guerra Fria, no qual vidas de pessoas comuns contam menos do que a lógica geopolítica das grandes potências. A partir de então, mapas e fotos de cidades e aldeias ucranianas passaram a circular em jornais, noticiários de televisão e na internet. Para a maioria das pessoas, tais lugares não passam de nomes quase impronunciáveis; para nós, soam familiares. A invasão russa trouxe para nosso dia a dia algo que estava adormecido em um canto da memória ou restrito aos contos da literatura ídiche: a geografia judaica do Leste Europeu, terra ...
Citizen now offers a comprehensive description of the composition and behavior of young adults, an explanation and critique of the study of youth engagement, and a unique approach and methodology for appreciating how and why “citizen now” engages in politics and democracy. Citizen now considers youth political participation from the perspective of young adults themselves – specifically, young adults who’ve organized around an issue of great concern to Millennials, their economic well-being. The perfect text for undergraduates exploring the fundamentals of government, political behavior, and citizenship, this text’s fresh take on the important subject of youth engagement offers both a path for future research and practical guidance on how to engage “citizen now” in politics and democracy.
Die Autorin geht der Frage nach, welche Rolle die Eltern im politischen Sozialisationsprozess Jugendlicher spielen und welche Bedeutung hierbei die Qualität der familialen Interaktion hat. Das Buch untersucht die Bedeutung der Eltern als Modell und Interaktionspartner für Jugendliche und analysiert den Einfluss der Familie als Erfahrungskontext. Ferner werden Auswirkungen der intendierten elterlichen Interessenförderung im politischen Bereich geprüft. Die Ergebnisse zeigen sowohl direkte Transmissionsprozesse zwischen Eltern und Jugendlichen als auch Einflüsse der Qualität der Interaktion in der Familie.
"The Collection" is meant as an introduction to and summary of Curran's primary and secondary holdings on Brazil's "Literatura de Cordel" now at the Latin American Library of Tulane University. The book relates the story of how the "cordel" collection was put together including telling of its primary sources, the poets themselves and "cordel" stands or "barracas" in cities or towns that sold the broadsides from the mid - 1960s to 2013. Photos and short biographic entries of the poets, printers and publishers are a big part of the story. The lengthy second part of the book is comprised of the lists of the broadsides themselves (accordng to title by the author's choice, author following when known), xeroxed copies of historic titles, and Curran's library of secondary sources dealing with the collection. The author believes that this book has most everything a prospective researcher or "aficionado" needs to know about the Mark J. Curran Collection of "A Literatura de Cordel."
Die Beiträge des Bandes befassen sich mit (physischer wie anderer) Gewalt, die von Jugendlichen ausgeübt oder ihnen von Erwachsenen etwa in Schulen und Fürsorgeheimen zugefügt wurde. Sie zeigen, dass solche erfahrene wie diskursiv verarbeitete Gewalt nur dann angemessen verstanden werden kann, wenn sie in einen größeren gesellschaftlichen Kontext gestellt wird – sei es hinsichtlich der Frage nach Wehrhaftigkeit, moralisch angemessenem Verhalten oder nach Generationen- und Geschlechterverhältnissen. Zugleich wird erkennbar, dass es zwar über das 20. Jahrhundert hinweg grundsätzlich eine Tendenz zu erhöhter Sensibilisierung für Gewalt und zu ihrer negativen Bewertung gab, abgescho...
