Greenwashing in the Fashion Industry - The Flipside of the Sustainability Trend from the Perspective of Generation Z
The sustainability trend of recent years is reflected in society's growing environmental awareness and the increasing promotion of green products and services in the market. The flip side is that most advertisements and green branding originate from companies that still have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how greenwashing marketing campaigns are perceived despite increasing environmental awareness in society. This study answers how greenwashing is perceived, whether the perception differs depending on the degree of environmental consciousness, and which effects the perception has. In order to answer these questions, a qualitative study via expe...
Grays the Mountain Sends
Grays the Mountain Sends by Bryan Schutmaat documents the rugged landscapes and people of the great American West. The images describe a series of mining sites and small mountain towns and the people who have worked in them, built them, and a few younger people who might, or might not, be looking for a way out of them.
Kreolsprache Unserdeutsch
Die Entstehung und Geschichte der einzigen deutschlexifizierten Kreolsprache Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German) war bis heute weitgehend unbeschrieben, obwohl die Zeit drängt: Die koloniale High-contact-Varietät, entstanden zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts an einer katholischen Missionsstation im damaligen Schutzgebiet Deutsch-Neuguinea im melanesischen Pazifik, ist inzwischen kritisch gefährdet mit weniger als 100 noch lebenden SprecherInnen fortgeschrittenen Alters. Mit dieser Arbeit wird nun eine detaillierte Rekonstruktion zu den Anfängen und der weiteren Entwicklung von Unserdeutsch bis in die Gegenwart vorgelegt, basierend auf Archivdaten, Interviews und Strukturanalysen. Dabei wird...
Margins of Excess
In ?Margins of Excess? the notion of how personal imagination conflicts with generally accepted beliefs is expressed through the narratives of six individuals. Every one of them momentarily received nationwide attention in the US press because of their attempts to realize a dream or passion, but were presented as frauds or deceivers by the mass media?s apparent incapacity to deal with idiosyncratic versions of reality.0The current era of ?post-truth?, in which truths, half-truths, lies, fiction or entertainment are easily interchanged, has produced a culture of ?hyper-individual truths?, demanding a new approach to identify the underlying narratives that structure our perception of reality in a world where there is no longer a generally accepted frame of realism. 0Embedding the stories of the six main protagonists into a clustering tale of cloned military dogs, religious apparitions, suspect vehicles, fake terrorist plots, accidental bombings and fictional presidents, this book follows an associative logic akin to the indiscriminate way a paranoid mind connects unrelated events, or the hysteria of the 24-second news cycle.
Reference Guide to Christian Missionary Societies in China: From the Sixteenth to the Twentieth Century
This comprehensive guide will facilitate scholarly research concerning the history of Christianity in China as well as the wider Sino-Western cultural encounter. It will assist scholars in their search for material on the anthropological, educational, medical, scientific, social, political, and religious dimensions of the missionary presence in China prior to 1950.The guide contains nearly five hundred entries identifying both Roman Catholic and Protestant missionary sending agencies and related religious congregations. Each entry includes the organization's name in English, followed by its Chinese name, country of origin, and denominational affiliation. Special attention has been paid to identifying the many small, lesser-known groups that arrived in China during the early decades of the twentieth century. In addition, a special category of the as yet little-studied indigenous communities of Chinese women has also been included. Multiple indexes enhance the guide's accessibility.
Metamorphic Reactions
The fourth volume in this series consists of eleven chapters. The first five deal with more theoretical aspects of the kinetics and mechanisms of meta morphic reactions, and the next six consider the interdependence of defor mation and metamorphism. All papers deal with natural processes that inter act on various time scales and with different degrees of mass and heat transfer. Consequently, many fundamental axioms of metamorphic petrol ogy and structural geology are questioned both for their accuracy and their usefulness. In raising such questions, most contributors have pointed to ways in which the answers could be forthcoming from appropriate experi mental studies or observations on natur...
