Download or read book Interkulturelle Kommunikation im globalen Bildungsraum written by Vasiliy Kovalev and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Sammelband ist dem Thema der Interkulturalität gewidmet und enthält Beiträge in englischer, deutscher und russischer Sprache. Vor dem Hintergrund der Globalisierung kommt dem Thema ‚Interkulturelle Kommunikation‘ eine zentrale Bedeutung zu: Durch Phänomene wie die globale Mobilität und Arbeitsteilung, zunehmende Reisefreiheit sowie die Entwicklung neuer Kommunikationstechnologien kommt es zu immer mehr Kontakten zwischen Personen unterschiedlicher Kulturen. Auswirkungen hat das auch auf den Arbeitsmarkt, der von Führungskräften zunehmend interkulturelle Kompetenzen und Kommunikationsfähigkeit fordert. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven diskutieren die Autoren dieses Bandes die Bedeutung von interkultureller Kommunikation für ihre jeweiligen Disziplinen. Dem Leser wird so ein multiperspektivischer Einblick in den Diskurs um Interkulturalität ermöglicht. This anthology adresses the topic of interculturality and, therefore, includes articles in English, German and Russian. In the context of the ongoing globalization, intercultural communication becomes increasingly important: global mobility and division of labour, free travelling combined with new communication technologies encourages exchange between people from different cultures. This requires intercultural competence and communication skills not only in private contexts but on the labour market as well. From different points of view the authors of this book discuss the relevance of intercultural communication. By showing how different disciplines deal with this topic the book gives the reader a multiperspective insight on the discourse of interculturality.

Download or read book Theories of International Relations written by Siegfried Schieder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to theories of International Relations (IR). Given the limitations of a paradigm-based approach, it sheds light on eighteen theories and new theoretical perspectives in IR by examining the work of key reference theorists. The chapters are all written to a common template. The introductory section provides readers with a basic understanding of the theory’s genesis by locating it within an intellectual tradition, paying particular attention to the historical and political context. The second section elaborates on the theory as formulated by the selected reference theorist. After this account of the theory’s core elements, the third section turns to theoretical variations, examining conceptual subdivisions and overlaps, further developments and internal critique. The fourth section scrutinizes the main criticisms emanating from other theoretical perspectives and highlights points of contact with recent research in IR. The fifth and final section consists of a bibliography carefully compiled to aid students’ further learning. Encompassing a broad range of mainstream, traditional theories as well as emerging and critical perspectives, this is an original and ground-breaking textbook for students of International Relations. The German edition of the book won the "Geisteswissenschaften International" Prize, collectively awarded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the German Federal Foreign Office and the German Publishers & Booksellers Association.

Download or read book Babel of the Atlantic written by Bethany Wiggin and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite shifting trends in the study of Oceanic Atlantic history, the colonial Atlantic world as it is described by historians today continues to be a largely English-only space; even when other language communities are examined, they, too, are considered to be monolingual and discrete. Babel of the Atlantic pushes back against this monolingual fallacy by documenting multilingualism, translation, and fluid movement across linguistic borders. Focusing on Philadelphia and surrounding areas that include Germantown, Bethlehem, and the so-called Indian country to the west, this volume demonstrates the importance of viewing inhabitants not as members of isolated language communities, whether English, German, Lenape, Mohican, or others, but as creators of a vibrant zone of mixed languages and shifting politics. Organized around four themes—religion, education, race and abolitionism, and material culture and architecture—and drawing from archives such as almanacs, newspapers, and the material world, the chapters in this volume show how polyglot, tolerant, and multilingual spaces encouraged diverse peoples to coexist. Contributors examine subjects such as the multicultural Moravian communities in colonial Pennsylvania, the Charity School movement of the 1750s, and the activities of Quaker abolitionists, showing how educational and religious movements addressed and embraced cultural and linguistic variety. Drawing early American scholarship beyond the normative narrative of monolingualism, this volume will be invaluable to historians and sociolinguists whose work focuses on Pennsylvania and colonial, revolutionary, and antebellum America. In addition to the editor, the contributors include Craig Atwood, Patrick M. Erben, Cynthia G. Falk, Katherine Faull, Wolfgang Flügel, Katharine Gerbner, Maruice Jackson, Lisa Minardi, Jürgen Overhoff, and Birte Pfleger.
Download or read book The European Union United Through Popular Sports written by Stephanie Theresa Bartomioli and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EUSB (European Sports Badge) is meant to target a large audience through popular sports. Modern sport and its various events have been originated in Europe during the past two centuries. Physical exercise and personal fitness are nowadays well-respected and truly popular. This study aims at responding to the question, to what extent popular sport can make a contribution to the genesis, the implementation, and the fostering of a mutually acknowledged and experienced EU-identity. A differentiation between the two main spheres of sport, professional sports and popular sports, shows that the official and documented emphasis of the EU on the professional sphere hitherto led to negligence and a misconceiving attitude towards mass sports so far.
Download or read book Powers in Media Policy written by Katharine Sarikakis and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to widespread rhetoric of deregulation, the media are objects of increased global policy. Generators of cultural spheres, within which social consensus is formed, the media are shaped by national and supranational agencies of questionable legitimacy. Policy delineates the form and content of global communications impinging on cultures, discourses and consciousness; yet, citizen representation in processes of policy-making remains fragmentary. In this insightful study, the author examines the role of the European Parliament, as the only international organisation directly accountable to and elected by citizens, in the formation of media policy. This critical account of supranational representation identifies the structural and ideological dynamics of powers in European media policy. Through detailed examination of major policies, the author demonstrates the conditions under which supranational representation can offer a resisting force to unaccountable global powers, and the ways in which it can contribute to system transformation and defend communication spaces.
