Download or read book Interkulturelles Erz hlen am Beispiel von Kirsten Boies Kriminalroman Schwarze L gen written by Julia Kahl and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-28 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Deutsch - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Universität zu Köln (IDSL), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Ausarbeitung soll es um interkulturelles Erzählen gehen, welches anhand von Kirsten Boies Roman "Schwarze Lügen" erläutert wird. Kirsten Boie ist nicht nur eine bei Kindern beliebte Autorin, sondern auch in der Forschung für ihre Fähigkeit bekannt, gesellschaftliche und politische Strukturen in den Fokus zu nehmen und auf Veränderungen aufmerksam zu machen. Hierbei soll jedoch aufgrund von Umfangsmangel nur auf die für diese Thesis relevanten Forschungsergebnisse eingegangen werden. Das heißt, die im Folgenden genannten Forschungsergebnisse umfassen nicht das gesamte bisherige erforschte Spektrum in der Literaturwissenschaft, sondern das Kapitel begrenzt sich knapp auf relevante Aspekte, die in der darauffolgenden Analyse wieder aufgefasst werden. Anschließend erfolgt die Analyse des vorliegenden Romans "Schwarze Lügen" von Kirsten Boie. Diese wird in Anlehnung an Martínez und Scheffel nach inhaltlichen und stilistischen Aspekten separiert untersucht, wobei eine klare Trennung dieser beiden Bereiche natürlich nicht vollständig möglich ist. Hierbei liegt das besondere Augenmerk auf der inhaltlichen Analyse mit der Erforschung der Figurenkonzeption, da dieser Aspekt eine große Relevanz für die Vermittlung von Interkulturalität hat. Dadurch soll ausführlich gezeigt werden, welche Spezifik den Roman selbst und ihn als Vermittler von Interkulturalität auszeichnet. Abschließend erfolgt ein zusammenfassender Rückblick, welcher die gesammelten Forschungs- und Analyseergebnisse noch einmal betrachtet.

Thomas Garraway's first public sale of tea in England in 1657 was of historic importance. For this he published and distributed a poster... "The leaf of such known virtues ... that it is sold for twice its weight in silver. It maketh the body active and lusty. It helpth the headache, giddiness and heaviness and thereof. It is very good against stone and gravel, cleaning the kidneys and ureter. It is good against crudities, strengthening the weakness of the Ventricle or Stomack, causing good appetite and Deigestion and particularly for men of a corpulent body and such as are great eaters of flesh... It prevents and cures ague, surefeits...and fevers, by infusing a fit quantity of the leaf, thereby provoking a most gentle vomit...It drives away all pains in the Collick proceeding from wind and purgeth safety the Gall..." So said Thomas Garraway and indeed, many belived him!

Download or read book The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design written by Graeme Brooker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.

Book excerpt: Zac Taylor and his crew are at the end of their last summer together before senior year of high school. Unsure of where each is headed after graduation, they know three things: time is fleeting, the pool where they all work as lifeguards is swimming with hotties, and life really is greener on the other side of the hill when the person sitting next to you has a tightly-rolled joint. In some ways, life couldn't be any more picturesque for this band of Midwestern misfits. But nothing is ever as it seems. Zac's stepdad is a tyrant with soul-crushing plans for Zac's life. And when a surprise visitor steps in on Zac's behalf, tragedy befalls the family, sending Zac into a self-destructive downward spiral.

Download or read book Softlie written by Kayode Taiwo Olla and published by . This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ...ORDINARILY, THE UNION OF THE SEXES, whether in affection or hostility, is a vast pool which creative artists from ancient times to the present have drawn inspirations for their thematic concerns and style. Thus, a new work in this direction stands the risk of treading the familiar path without making much impression. What subtly but eloquently stands out in Kayode Taiwo Olla's Softlie, is its uncommon blend of the poetic with the narrative, and the melodic with the dramatic. The reader's attention is firmly held and sustained from the beginning to the end of the collection through irony, pun, suspense and ellipsis. ...Softlie is therefore a richly endowed collection of poems that I find enticing with every reading and it is self-recommending.
