Language, Media and Economy in Virtual and Real Life

A History of Catholic Moral Theology in the Twentieth Century
This is an historical survey of 20th Century Roman Catholic Theological Ethics (also known as moral theology). The thesis is that only through historical investigation can we really understand how the most conservative and negative field in Catholic theology at the beginning of the 20th could become by the end of the 20th century the most innovative one. The 20th century begins with moral manuals being translated into the vernacular. After examining the manuals of Thomas Slater and Henry Davis, Keenan then turns to three works and a crowning synthesis of innovation all developed before, during and soon after the Second World War. The first by Odon Lottin asks whether moral theology is adequa...
Urban Linguistics und Linguistic Landscapes in der Romania
Urban Linguistics und Linguistic Landscapes fokussieren das Zusammenspiel von Mehrsprachigkeit und sprachlicher Diversität in (mehr oder weniger) öffentlichen sozialen Räumen. Von Spanien (Andalusien, Galicien, Katalonien) über Lateinamerika (Kuba, Costa Rica) und Istrien bis Deutschland (Hamburg, Ruhrgebiet) vereint dieser Band zehn Beiträge, die sprachliche Praktiken und den Sprachgebrauch romanischer Sprachen in den Mittelpunkt rücken. Aus diachronen und synchronen Perspektiven eröffnet das Buch neue theoretische Zugänge und gibt empirische Einblicke in Themen wie Sprachideologien und Sprechereinstellungen, Language Awareness, Linguistic Soundscapes und Enregisterment. Berücksichtigt werden sowohl sprachwissenschaftliche als auch sprachdidaktische Ansätze. Mit Beiträgen von Anja Mitschke, Benjamin Peter, Alf Monjour, Isabella Matticchio, Luca Melchior, Judith Kittler, Lisa Marie Brinkmann, Sílvia Melo-Pfeifer, Julia von Rosen, Alejandro Sánchez Castellanos, Gabriele Knauer, Adrián Vergara Heidke, Valentina Tretti Beckles, Rolf Kailuweit, Jannis Harjus
A Research Agenda for Transport Equity and Mobility Justice
Who can travel freely? Whose mobility is restricted? What other inequities contribute to and arise from these differences in movement? Taking a truly global approach, this Research Agenda tackles these questions in settings from London to Hanoi, and Chicago to eThekwini, and transport modes from motorbikes to cars to pedestrians to cyclists.
Multilingualism and Pluricentricity
This volume explores linguistic diversity and complexity in different urban contexts, many of which have never been subject to significant sociolinguistic inquiry. A novel mixture of cities of varying size from around the world is studied, from megacities to smaller cities on the national periphery. All chapters discuss either the multilingualism or the pluricentric aspect of the linguistic diversity in urban areas, most focussing on one urban centre. The book showcases multiple approaches ranging from a quantitative investigation based partly on census data, to qualitative studies flowing, for example, from extensive ethnographic work or discourse analysis. The diverse theoretical backgrounds and methodological approaches in the individual chapters are complemented by two chapters outlining the current trends and debates in the sociolinguistic research on urban multilingualism and pluricentricity and suggesting some possible directions for future investigations in this field.The book thus provides a broad overview of sociolinguistic research of multilingual places and pluricentric languages.
Contemporary Boat Migration
This book explores contemporary migration by boat through the intertwined, and under-explored, elements of empirical data, governance and geopolitics, and discourses. While the migration of people by boat is a long-standing phenomenon, journeys have become more frequent and precarious as states illegalise entry. As migration at sea becomes more common, it has gained attention from a range of actors, including enforcement authorities, political elites, media, and non/inter-governmental organizations. The sea has thus become a space of hope/desperation for migrants as well as conflict over territory and sovereignty, representing wider social debates in and beyond Australia, Canada, the Europea...
