Von der Majestät zur bürgerlichen Hoheit?
Die Rolle der deutschen First Lady ist von größerer Bedeutung für Gesellschaft und Demokratie als das traditionelle Frauenbild unterstellt, mit dem sie oft etikettiert und verglichen wird: Sie übt Deutschlands prominentestes Ehrenamt aus, sie motiviert und fördert dabei auch andere sich zu engagieren. Dabei knüpft die Rolle an Traditionen aus der neueren deutschen Geschichte an, die bis in die Monarchie zurückreichen. Ob Kaiserin, Ehefrau des Reichspräsidenten oder (Ehe-)Partnerin des Bundespräsidenten – die First Lady ist eine soziale Unternehmerin, die Gemeinsinn in der Gesellschaft fördert und Zusammenhalt stärkt. Viktoria Hennecke beleuchtet in ihrer Studie aus politikwissenschaftlicher Sicht die Erwartungen, die an die Rolle und ihre Inhaberinnen gerichtet sind; sie beleuchtet deren Ursprünge und bricht damit, die klischeehafte traditionelle Etikettierung aufzugreifen und zu reproduzieren. Mit einem Vorwort von Elke Büdenbender
Greening the City
The modern city is not only pavement and concrete. Parks, gardens, trees, and other plants are an integral part of the urban environment. Often the focal points of social movements and political interests, green spaces represent far more than simply an effort to balance the man-made with the natural. A city’s history with—and approach to—its parks and gardens reveals much about its workings and the forces acting upon it. Our green spaces offer a unique and valuable window on the history of city life. The essays in Greening the City span over a century of urban history, moving from fin-de-siècle Sofia to green efforts in urban Seattle. The authors present a wide array of cases that spe...
Type Noun Constructions in Slavic, Germanic and Romance Languages
This volume is the first dedicated to the comprehensive, in-depth analysis of constructions with nouns like ‘type’ and ‘sort’. It focuses on type noun constructions in Romance, Germanic and Slavic languages, integrating the different descriptive traditions that had been developed for each language family. As a result, a greater variety of type noun constructions is revealed than in the hitherto more fragmented literature. But attention is also drawn to the cross-linguistic similarity of the new pragmatic meanings, such as ad hoc and approximative categorization, hedging, focus and filler uses, and the new grammatical functions in NPs (e.g. phoric uses), clauses (e.g. adverbial uses) ...
Transforming Learning with Meaningful Technologies
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 2019, held in Delft, The Netherlands, in September 2019. The 41 research papers and 50 demo and poster papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 149 submissions. The contributions reflect the debate around the role of and challenges for cutting-edge 21st century meaningful technologies and advances such as artificial intelligence and robots, augmented reality and ubiquitous computing technologies and at the same time connecting them to different pedagogical approaches, types of learning settings, and application domains that can benefit from such technologies.
Pagan Rome and the Early Christians
"In the early Roman empire, Christians were seen by pagans as overthrowers of ancient gods and destroyers of the prevailing social order. Allegations that Christians recognized each other by secret marks, met at night and made love to one another indiscriminately, worshipped the head of an ass and the genitals of their high priests, and ate children were widely believed. In examining these charges and the Christian response to them, Benko has provided a persuasively argued and refreshing, if controversial, perspective on the confrontation of the pagan and early Christian worlds."[book cover].
