Musical Work Analysis - Maciej Golab - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Musical Work Analysis - Maciej Golab - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Musical Work Analysis is a holistic approach to the cognitive theory of the musical work. The book develops some of Roman Ingarden’s concepts on the epistemology of an actually existing work of music. The author outlines an epistemological theory of the musical work by discussing the role of musical analysis in modern musicology, defining sources and objects of epistemological activity, formulating a systematization of analytical terms, issues and methods, both normative and descriptive, and addressing the relation between analysis and interpretation of a musical work. The book was published in Polish language in edition of the Foundation for Polish Science (Wrocław University Press, Wrocław 2003) and awarded by the Polish Ministry of National Education (2004).

Economic Crisis, Elite Conflict and Institutional Change in Empires - Tolga Demiryol - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Economic Crisis, Elite Conflict and Institutional Change in Empires - Tolga Demiryol - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Ottoman and Habsburg Empires both faced the "general crisis" of the 17 th century. Yet they responded to the crisis very differently. The Habsburgs centralized fiscal structures, which would facilitate economic development in the 19th century. The Ottomans, which initially had more centralized tax collection, opted for decentralization, paving the way for economic peripheralization. To account for this puzzle, this book offers a political-economic theory of institutional change that focuses on the structure and intensity of elite conflict over the distribution of resources. Using the comparative-historical method, the book demonstrates that high levels of conflict generated political incentives for centralization, and where such incentives were lacking, decentralization followed.

Managing Work and "The Rest of Life" - Cornelia Ulrike Reindl - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Managing Work and "The Rest of Life" - Cornelia Ulrike Reindl - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Successfully managing needs and obligations of work and non-work spheres in order to maintain psychological and physical well-being is one of the most prominent challenges of today’s working life. Unsatisfactory reconciliation of life roles, i.e. work-life conflict, is associated with a variety of negative outcomes for the individual as well as for organizations. One branch where heavy workload and intense time demands are particularly prone to collide with personal life interests and needs are professional service firms (PSFs). The present study empirically examines the impact of a set of formal and informal organizational demands and resources on the work-life conflict of professionals in PSFs. Above and beyond (formal) work-life initiatives, results highlight the crucial role of a supportive organizational culture for achieving successful management of work and non-work roles.

Work-Process Based Development of Advanced Detailed Curricula - Georg Spoettl - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Work-Process Based Development of Advanced Detailed Curricula - Georg Spoettl - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

How can it be ensured that vocational education matches the requirements of the increasingly complex world of work? In search of a suitable approach, it has become evident that Competence-Based Training cannot provide this service since it focuses on static "work" instead of encompassing dynamic "work-processes." Consequently it is necessary to rely on the analysis of work-processes when designing a detailed curriculum for a digitalized environment and Industry 4.0. The results of the work-process analyses reflect the spectrum of requirements and are applied as the core elements for the shaping of detailed curricula. This ensures a state of the art of curricula and facilitates their swift development in matching changes in the world of work.

Science Teachers’ Innovative Work Behavior - Palmira Peciuliauskiene - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Science Teachers’ Innovative Work Behavior - Palmira Peciuliauskiene - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The last decades have demonstrated growing calls for innovations associated with science teaching methods. In the light of science education reforms, teaching methods have focused on scientific inquiry, discovery, and other constructivist approaches. Research on innovations in science education raises discussion about the application of new technology, a need to infuse arts and social emotional learning content into science education, and use of innovative models to improve critical thinking skills and enhance teachers’ self-efficacy. However, there is a lack of research on innovative work behavior of science teachers’ personal, cognitive, and environmental factors. The researchers in this book address to the phenomenon of innovative work behavior and aim to reveal the associations between the science teachers’ innovative work behavior and personal, cognitive, and environmental factors.

Monographic Sociology of Dimitrie Gusti - Gabriela Felicia Georgevici - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Monographic Sociology of Dimitrie Gusti - Gabriela Felicia Georgevici - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book highlights an important moment in the history of Romanian sociology: The idea of getting involved in the knowledge and construction of social life as well as the virtues of the sociologic monograph method that were promoted by the Bucharest Sociologic School and the Banat-Crişana Social Institute. This work now forwards an analysis of Dimitrie Gusti’s original sociologic thinking system, a theoretic model underlying the monographic campaigns conducted by multidisciplinary teams. Rural studies were the central axis of the Bucharest Sociologic School. An important innovation of Dimitrie Gusti’s School is examined: the launching of social work through the Superior School for Social Work and Assistance Princess Ileana , founded in Bucharest in 1929. A detailed presentation of the monographs conducted by the Bucharest School and the Banat-Crişana Social Institute with their specific characteristics is given, bearing the mark of sociologist Dimitrie Gusti and other remarkable personalities of the Romanian inter-war scientific elite.

Martin Aedler and the High Dutch Minerva - Fredericka Van Der Lubbe - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Martin Aedler and the High Dutch Minerva - Fredericka Van Der Lubbe - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Who wrote the High Dutch Minerva ? And why? This work seeks to disprove the reasons offered by scholars for the emergence of the first German grammar for the English, the High Dutch Minerva (1680), by considering biographical material on the author, Martin Aedler (1643-1724), placing the author and his work in their German and English social contexts. It argues that Aedler, a lecturer in Hebrew, published his grammar for the use of the English intellectual elite, but did so to satisfy the patriotic imperatives of members of the German language societies and their desire to legitimate the German language for a new audience; Aedler does this through the use of universal grammar. Included is an edition of his correspondence which sheds light on the teaching of Hebrew at Cambridge.

Populist Parties and the Failure of the Political Elites - Goran Adamson - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Populist Parties and the Failure of the Political Elites - Goran Adamson - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The author analyses the reasons behind the electoral success of European right-wing populist parties. Using the Austrian Freedom Party under Jörg Haider as a case study and with a richness of primary material, he argues that their success is only partly caused by «racism». It is also, and more prominently, the result of populism – i.e. a critique of the «elite». These parties and their voters should not, then, be labelled as arrogant insiders attacking downtrodden outsiders like immigrants, workers, and minorities. Instead, the right-wingers are more justly portrayed as outsiders and underdogs, raising their anger and frustration against the insiders: the «media elite» and the «leftists and the artists».

Elites in the New Democracies - Matevz Tomsic - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Elites in the New Democracies - Matevz Tomsic - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The book deals with the analysis of key political actors in the ‘new democracies’ from Central and Eastern Europe. It is focused on character of elites, particularly political ones, and their role in the process of societal change. The author argues that elite configuration in terms of relationships between different elite factions as well as their cultural profile has strong impact on developmental dynamics of these societies. Although – at least in some countries from the region – political elites have managed to build the institutional foundations of systems of a market economy and a parliamentary democracy, with only small chances of any reverses taking place, they have been much less successful in establishing mechanisms for society’s self-organisation.

Agency at Work - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Agency at Work - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Rooted in anthropological and ethnological traditions, this volume offers analytical insights into the workings of agency in late industrialism revealed in interactions between a coal power plant and a local community in Opole Silesia, in southwestern Poland. In this context, the authors show by the use of the ethnographic method, how variables and forces of various scales shape political events centered around the power plant; grassroots economic dynamics and entrepreneurship; the local semiosphere uniting the divided social group; affective dimensions of a social protest; (un)doing gender in the industrial workplace; and the mobile livelihoods of migrant industrial workers. By doing so, they concretize in different ways both the concept of late modernity and agency.

Lost in the Eurofog: The Textual Fit of Translated Law - Lucja Biel - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Lost in the Eurofog: The Textual Fit of Translated Law - Lucja Biel - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The book is one of the few in-depth investigations into the nature of EU legal translation and its impact on national legal languages. It is also the first attempt to characterise EU Polish, a language of supranational law and a hybrid variant of legal Polish emerging via translation. The book applies Chesterman''s concept of textual fit, that is how translations differ from non-translations, to demonstrate empirically on large corpora how the Polish eurolect departs from the conventions of legal and general Polish both at the macrostructural and microstructural level. The findings are juxtaposed with the pre-accession version of Polish law to track the ''Europeanisation'' of legal Polish – recent changes brought about by the unprecedented inflow of EU translations.

Foreign Assistance of Illiberal and Autocratic Regimes - Sevinc Ozturk - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book suggests a theoretical framework for the non-democratic and illiberal donors of foreign aid and tests the empirical support of this framework. It aims to examine the foreign aid motivation and preferences of non-democratic and illiberal countries. The study applies the quantitative methodology to understand why nondemocratic and illiberal regimes provide foreign aid and what affects their aid preferences. The findings show that the nature of the relationship between the government and the business elite influences both aid motivation and aid preferences in those countries.

Exiles in Print - Celia Aijmer Rydsjo - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Exiles in Print - Celia Aijmer Rydsjo - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The book provides a complementary view of modernism by investigating Anglo-American little magazines published in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. Addressing symbolic and practical aspects of physical location and international themes in the little reviews, it highlights the infrastructure of modernism – networks, finances and genealogies. The authors link activities, strategies and negotiations with the creation of modernism as we know it, as magazine editors are shown to be highly conscious of their role as canon-makers. In this rendition, modernism is intrinsically linked with its agents and practices and pushes the dividing lines between narrow elite culture and wider readerships, as well as between cosmopolites and tourists.

European Questionnaire for Job Analysis (EQJA) - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

European Questionnaire for Job Analysis (EQJA) - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book shows what kind of theoretical and methodological bases should pertain to contemporary job analysis. The authors describe the European Questionnaire for Job Analysis as a new psychometric and econometric tool to measure the specific job requirements for work efficiency in the particular job positions in a company. Job analysis is primarily an object of interest in work and industrial psychology. However, currently there is an increasing number of interdisciplinary researchers, that is psychologists collaborating with economists, sociologists and other social science representatives, on work position analysis. The attractiveness of such research projects lies both in their theoretical and methodological mutual enrichments of collaborating psychologists and economists as well as in the subsequently increasing work efficiency and job satisfaction of the persons employed on the particular work positions.

The Remnants of Modernity - Przemyslaw Czaplinski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Remnants of Modernity - Przemyslaw Czaplinski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Polish culture after 1989 has been defined by conflicts surrounding the remnants of modernity, phenomena marginalised during communism. The book considers two such phenomena: the search for a common tradition and the disappearance of utopia. Throughout the 19 th and 20 th centuries, romanticism provided a common tradition. After 1989, its place was assumed by Sarmatism, an elite and xenophobic pre-modern cultural formation, into which contradictory values were introduced, creating an explosive mixture of emancipation and populism. The second remnant, the heritage of utopia, is addressed in works whose critical visions of change are not comprehensive projects, but rather rebellions. They begin with a questioning of authority, and lead to a posthuman definition of humanity and interspecies solidarity.

Nation-Building in the Shadow of the Bear: The Dialectics of National Identity and Foreign Policy in the Kyrgyz Republic 1991–2012 - Paul Christian

Nation-Building in the Shadow of the Bear: The Dialectics of National Identity and Foreign Policy in the Kyrgyz Republic 1991–2012 - Paul Christian

Since 1991, Kyrgyzstan’s leaders have pursued a post-Soviet national identity. Their concepts failed to consolidate the country’s multi-ethnic society, and continuously antagonize civic values and ethnic myth. The author applies international relations theory to frame Kyrgyzstan’s identity crisis: The ruling elite has to manage tensions between their strong dependency on Russia as main donor and security provider and domestic challenges in their pursuit of a national identity. A legitimate national identity must represent both the foreign policy interests of the country and the demands of the Kyrgyz majority and ethnic minorities for representation. The Kyrgyz case unveils the complex dialectics of domestic pressure and external interests that have defined post-Soviet nation building in Russia’s near abroad.

Upper-class English in Natural and Audiovisual Dialogue - Luca Valleriani - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Upper-class English in Natural and Audiovisual Dialogue - Luca Valleriani - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume deals with the language of the British upper class in natural face-to-face dialogue and how this is rendered fictionally in audiovisual media. Its main aim is that of reorganising the sparse information on the topic that is found in previous scholarly studies through a qualitative methodological approach. After focusing on the linguistic description and evolution of the upper-class sociolect, the study offers original insights on the language of the Royal Family and its representation in the TV series The Crown . The results from this research, which combines the disciplines of sociolinguistics and dialectology applied to the audiovisual text, will hopefully open a new path in the study of language of elite groups in Britain, arguably an under-researched topic.

The Identity of Metaphor – The Metaphor of Identity - Daniela Moldoveanu - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Identity of Metaphor – The Metaphor of Identity - Daniela Moldoveanu - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The book sets out identity of metaphor in the literary discourse from a comparative perspective and links it with the ontological metaphor of identity. The author analyses both American and Romanian texts such as Lucian Blaga’s lyrosophical hermeneutics, Ileana Mălăncioiu, Mariana Marin and Sylvia Plath’s lyrical tirades, and Max Blecher’s poetic novels. She points out that ipseity is a trace of the postmodern bivalent condition that uses the vivid metaphor mechanism to describe its ontological lability as strength.
