Music has been seen since the Romantic era as the quintessentially temporal art, possessing a unique capacity to invoke the human experience of time.

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. Childhood is not merely a simple developmental stage prior to adulthood but rather a complex, changeable concept that is of interest and debated by international scholars from diverse disciplinary fields. One emerging debate is the perceived conflicts in childhood. Some of these are from adults representations of children, for example in literature, law and education to the practical and relational conflicts children experience at school and at home between peers, siblings and others. This volume presents a collection of these conflicts in childhood from interdisciplinary perspectives. Consideration is given to children’s rights and freedom, childhood relationships, gender, children’s representation in media and policies and politics about children.
Books and learning in 12th-century Europe are the broad concern of the nineteen papers assembled here. The discussion of ’books’ ranges from important individual manuscripts, to collections manufactured in ’scriptoria’ and kept in ’libraries’; the ’learning’ is primarily the composition, transmission and study of Latin literary texts, both ancient and contemporary. Special attention is given to the Latin classics, to the literary culture of the larger Benedictine houses, to the phenomenal quantity of Latin satirical writing of the period, and to the dissemination and reception of texts and ideas over time. While the geographical focus is England, the relationship of English materials and developments to the wider European context is constantly emphasized.
Examines the history of musical self-quotation, and reveals and explores a previously unidentified case of Schubert quoting one of his own songs in a major instrumental work.
Many of those who need and receive social-education offers have in fact mental disorders. For this reason it is important to keep the psychiatric perspectives in mind in order to provide optimal care.This handbook is unique in its interdisciplinary approach to the commonalities and differences in the theory, profession and practice of social education and psychiatry. The situations and social problems of people in all phases of life, from early childhood to old age, are presented here. The authors make the case for developing a common understanding of such cases, which would equally benefit both disciplines and professions. Applied models of multiprofessional cooperation are presented for selected syndromes and problem areas.
Kinder mit Migrationshintergrund leben hierzulande mehr als doppelt so häufig wie jene ohne in Armut. Wie sich diese im Bereich des Wohnens, der Gesundheit, der Bildung und in sozialen Kontakten bei verschiedenen Gruppen von Zuwandererfamilien äußert, zeigt die Verfasserin mittels umfassender Analysen. Sie belegen, dass die Armut von Migranten in eine klassen- und migrationsspezifische Neustrukturierung von sozialer Ungleichheit im Zuge neoliberaler Gesellschaftsveränderungen eingebettet ist. Auslöser von Armut sind z.B. die Exklusion auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, (Aus-)Bildungsdefizite und Kinderreichtum. Über die Schichtzugehörigkeit eines Migranten bestimmt auch das Ausländerrecht. Ob ein Kind trotz Armutsbedingungen im Wohlbefinden aufwächst, entscheidet sich indes durch ein für Migrantenkinder weitgehend unerforschtes Zusammenspiel v.a. personaler und familiärer Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren.
