Download or read book The Berlin School written by Rajendra Roy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The informal movement that critics like to call the Berlin School, " as director Christoph Hochhäusler puts it, is a loose affiliation of filmmakers who emerged around the time the Berlin Wall fell. The founding figures--Thomas Arslan, Christian Petzold, and Angela Schanelec--and their younger colleagues are not bound by a manifesto or by any singular aesthetic. Nonetheless, their observant portrayals of characters in flux offer a compelling cinematic expression of the search for new identities in a time of societal change. The films of the Berlin School have resonated profoundly since the mid-1990s, making it one of the most influential auteur movements to emerge from Europe in the new millennium.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La industria textil y de la moda es una de las más contaminantes del mundo y tiene repercusiones tanto positivas en la economía mundial como negativas por el impacto que produce en el medio ambiente. Actualmente parece fundamental adoptar modelos de negocio sostenibles para lograr la prosperidad de los recursos naturales del planeta ya que esta industria crece a un ritmo acelerado que resulta ser insostenible y también los consumidores demandan un mayor compromiso por parte de las empresas con las personas y con el planeta. Por ello, en el presente trabajo se ha procedido a la revisión de la literatura existente y se han analizado, en términos de sostenibilidad, acciones e iniciativas que promueven distintas marcas de ropa, además de la realización de un estudio para conocer los hábitos de los consumidores y conocer si existe un consumidor actual preocupado por el medio ambiente que sea más exigente en sus compras. Se ha conseguido verificar que los consumidores conocen el impacto medioambiental del fast fashion y las ventajas que tiene un consumo sostenible de moda, pero se sigue consumiendo más moda rápida, motivados principalmente por sus precios más asequibles. Palabras clave: industria de la moda, sostenibilidad, responsabilidad social corporativa, moda lenta y moda rápida, consumidor.

Download or read book Handbook of Communication in the Public Sphere written by Ruth Wodak and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you are reading this, you are finding yourself in the ubiquitous public sphere that is the Web. Ubiquitous, and yet not universally accessible. This volume addresses this dilemma of the public sphere, which is by definition open to everyone but in practice often excludes particular groups of people in particular societies at particular points in time. The guiding questions for this collection of articles are therefore: Who has access to the public sphere? How is this access enabled or disabled? Under what conditions is it granted or withheld, and by whom? We regard the public sphere as the nodal point for the discourses of business, politics and media, and this basic assumption is also s reflected in the structure of the volume. Each of these three macro-topics comprises chapters by international scholars from a variety of disciplines and research traditions who each combine up-to-date overviews of the relevant literature with their own cutting-edge research into aspects of different public spheres such as corporate promotional communication, political rhetoric or genre features of electronic mass media. The broad scope of the volume is perhaps best reflected in a comprehensive discussion of communication technologies ranging from conventional spoken and written formats such as company brochures, political speeches and TV shows to emerging ones like customer chat forums, political blogs and text messaging. Due to the books' wide scope, its interdisciplinary approach and its clear structure, we are sure that whether you work in communication and media studies, linguistics, political science, sociology or marketing, you will find this handbook an invaluable guide offering state-of-the -art literature reviews and exciting new research in your field and adjacent areas.

Download or read book Gender Language and Discourse written by Ann Weatherall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is language sexist? Do women and men speak different languages? Gender, Language and Discourse uniquely examines the contribution that psychological research - in particular, discursive psychology - has made to answering these questions. Until now, books on gender and language have tended to be from the sociolinguistic perspective and have focused on one of two issues - sexism in language or gender differences in speech. This book considers both issues and develops the idea that they shouldn't be viewed as mutually exclusive endeavours but rather as part of the same process - the social construction of gender. Ann Weatherall highlights the fresh insights that a social constructionist approach has made to these debates, and presents recent theoretical developments and empirical work in discursive psychology relevant to gender and language. Gender, Language and Discourse provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the gender and language field from a psychological perspective. It will be invaluable to students and researchers in social psychology, cultural studies, education, linguistic anthropology and women's studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro –por su particularidad de poseer contenidos dirigidos simultáneamente a diferentes públicos- responderá algunas de las siguientes preguntas: • A los consumidores y a la sociedad en general: ¿Para qué están estas dos industrias? ¿A quiénes benefician? ¿Cuáles son los motivos del beneficio económico en detrimento del medioambiente y de los seres humanos? • A Profesionales de la Industria: ¿Qué es lo que los trabajadores y profesionales de estas industrias esperan? ¿Cómo puede ser diseñada y producida la moda para que prosperemos como seres humanos? • Para los emprendimientos: ¿Qué modelos de negocios propician los valores de la sustentabilidad? ¿Cómo se puede ser una empresa textil o de moda holística e interconectada en un mundo que exige cada vez más transparencia? • A las casas de estudio: ¿Entienden que la sustentabilidad es transversal y contextual y que necesita de una formación específica por parte del docente? • Como diseñadores: ¿Qué tan atados al sistema actual estamos y cuánto lo apoyamos y perpetuamos inadvertidamente? ¿Qué tanto conocemos los impactos de los materiales que usamos?

Download or read book Eco Friendly and Fair written by Mark Heuer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion, characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers, presents new challenges to the environment, workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious, alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i.e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute, this book evaluates fashion trends, what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social, environmental and political factors should be maintained, and business approaches adopted, in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular, it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion.
