Download or read book Erkenning identiteit en verschil written by Bart van Leeuwen and published by ACCO. This book was released on 2003 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiculturalisme veronderstelt, veelal impliciet, een bepaald mensbeeld en een bepaalde sociale filosofie. De kern daarvan is dat er een sterke relatie bestaat tussen sociale erkenning en persoonsidentiteit. In deze studie wordt vanuit een sociaalfilosofische invalshoek onderzocht hoe deze relatie begrepen kan worden en wat de normatieve en existentiële consequenties daarvan zijn. Iemands gevoel van eigenwaarde komt niet in sociale isolatie tot stand, maar hangt af van relaties met anderen. Miskenning kan daarom diep ingrijpen in iemands zelfbegrip. Vanuit dit besef kan men concluderen dat gelijke erkenning een morele plicht is. Maar een cruciale spanning in het multiculturalisme ontstaat doordat een bepaalde erkenningsvorm niet vatbaar is voor een dergelijke morele oproep, namelijk 'waardering'. Een positief oordeel is niet afdwingbaar. De auteur toont echter aan dat erkenning van cultureel verschil ook formeel kan zijn, ofwel onafhankelijk van inhoudelijke waardering. Hiervoor is een ruime invulling van de notie 'respect' vereist. Respect betekent niet alleen de erkenning van gelijke persoonlijke vrijheid, maar ook van culturele bindingen. Alleen zo wordt een volwaardig zelfrespect mogelijk voor ale burgers.

Download or read book Wanneer wordt vreemd vreemd written by Christiane Timmerman and published by ACCO. This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dit boek is een weerslag van het congres 'Wanneer wordt vreemd, vreemd?' dat in Antwerpen plaatsvond op 6 februari 2004 en werd georganiseerd door het Antwerps Centrum voor Migrantenstudies van de UA. Door de internationalisering maakt een vreemde bevolking in toenemende mate deel uit van de Belgische samenleving. Deze vreemde bevolking moet echter meetellen in de maatschappij. Maar wie beschouwen we als vreemd en hoeveel generaties blijft dit etiket gelden? Deze onduidelijkheid heeft zijn weerslag op de mogelijkheden en kwaliteit van onderzoek, beleid en registratie, en daardoor ook op de samenleving in haar geheel. Dit boek bevat bijdragen waarin de consequenties van deze vragen worden onderzocht voor specifieke deeldomeinen als onderwijs, arbeid, welzijn, gezondheid, politiek, geschiedenis, media, religie, recht en huisvesting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon systematic research using Q Methodology in seven countries - Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands and Sweden - this volume presents the results of the most extensive effort yet at cross-cultural, subjective assessment of national and supranational identity.

Download or read book International Media Research written by John R. Corner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-01-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Media Research offers a rigorous and critical review of key approaches and concerns that have recently defined the field of media research. In this clearly argued collection of essays, the contributors analyze and reflect upon dominant themes and debates that have made media research an increasingly important element of cultural theory. The volume begins with a critical evaluation of the work of the leading media scholar, Elihu Katz, and continues with an exploration of the relationship between media studies and adjacent disciplines: cultural studies and gender and sexuality. Contributors drawn from Britain, America, Canada and Belgium consider the relationships between media research and media policy in different national and international contexts. Focusing on the European Union, East-Central Europe, North America and Latin America, chapters assess the impact of social, economic and political circumstances on policy debates and the shaping of the research agenda. The final chapter adopts a transatlantic perspective in tracing and analysing the history of the media's role in reporting war.

Download or read book Western Broadcasting at the Dawn of the 21st Century written by Leen d' Haenens and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objectives of the series correspond to those of the journal Communications: The European Journal of Communication Research, also published by Mouton de Gruyter. The discipline of communication science is concerned with investigation of the structure and function of mass communication processes and their impact on society and social groups. How these processes have an impact on values, knowledge, opinions and behaviour of individuals similarly constitutes an important area of concern for the discipline. The Communications Monograph series emphasizes these concerns of the discipline through publication of books taking a European social science perspective. Inasmuch as mass communication cannot be studied distinct from other modes of communication, the purpose of the Series is to publish material covering other communication forms - intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational - in addition to mass communication. In other words, the Communications Monograph series encompasses the entire field of communication science as its domain of interest. Special attention is addressed to the publication of titles that serve as main texts for academic courses and focus on such topics as communication theory and methodology, mass media and production of mediated messages, media use, reception processes, and media impact, political and marketing communication, advertising, public relations and propaganda, media policy, new media technologies and electronic networks, media history and media development.
Download or read book Defending French in Flanders 1873 1974 written by David J. Hensley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the efforts of the French-speaking minority in Flanders, Belgium, to maintain a legal and social presence of the French language in Flemish public life. Chronologically, the study is bookended by two developments, almost exactly a century apart. In 1873, the first laws were passed which required the use of Dutch in some aspects of public administration in Flanders, challenging the de facto use of French among the Flemish ruling class. One hundred and one years later, the last French daily newspaper in Flanders collapsed, marking the end of a once-vibrant French-language public sphere in Flanders. The author contends that the methods and arguments by which French speakers defended the role of French in Flemish public life changed along with the social and political situation of this minority. As the Flemish movement grew over the course of the twentieth century, French speakers’ appeals to the “free choice” of language lost traction, and they put forward claims that they represented an ethnolinguistic minority who deserved protection for their mother tongue. Providing new insights for scholars of European history, and in conversation with the literature on liberalism, national identity, and Francophonie, this book demonstrates how the debate over the role of French in Flanders was at the center of Belgium’s ethnolinguistic conflict – the repercussions of which continue to be felt to this day.

Download or read book The Dutch Revolt Through Spanish Eyes written by Yolanda Rodríguez Pérez and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical and literary works from the Spanish Golden Age offer a wealth of information about the Spanish view of the conflict in the Netherlands during the Dutch Revolt and the ensuing Eighty Years' War (1568-1648). The war in the cold north was to become a fixed component in the lives of the Spaniards of the Golden Age for many years. This book reconstructs the images that the Spanish had of the Netherlands and its inhabitants. These images are inextricably intertwined with the picture that the Spanish constructed of themselves as participants in the conflict. This book follows the developments of these images from the construction of an image of the enemy that reached a climax between 1621 and 1648 and then gradually faded away. Which images and representations circulated the most, and where did they come from? Which rhetoric was used to present them to the public, and in which genres and contexts were they disseminated and preserved? On the basis of a varied collection of sources, war chronicles and plays, as well as pamphlets, poems, historical works and prose writings, the author illustrates the appearance of the Netherlands through Spanish eyes during the course of the Eighty Years' War.
Download or read book Sources of Regionalism in the Nineteenth Century written by Linda Van Santvoort and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Architectural concepts and styles seem to flourish from the most local of contexts to the global." "This book investigates the regional, often conceived today as a late nineteenth-century phenomenon, primarily on account of the preservation and restoration movements that arose. An interdisciplinary approach to regionalism, as manifested not only in architecture but also in art and literature, necessitates a more thorough examination of the complexity and multilayered quality of the phenomenon." "The research is limited in lime to the nineteenth century plus the years leading up to the First World War, and in place to Western Europe, with an emphasis on Belgium, France and England, and to a lesser extent on the Netherlands, Germany and Spain."--BOOK JACKET.
