Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Download or read book Immigration Regulation in Federal States written by Sasha Baglay and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the phenomenon of immigration federalism: its main characteristics, why and how it has developed, its implications for immigration systems (in general) and non-citizens’ rights (in particular). The book introduces the reader to theoretical perspectives on immigration federalism through three sets of literature – federalism, governance and non-citizens’ rights – that provide a necessary framework for understanding immigration federalism’s multiple facets and impacts. It also offers an analysis of immigration federalism through case studies of six jurisdictions: Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the EU and the US. Despite increased sub-national activity in immigration regulation in several federal states, very little research has been dedicated so far to comparing how federal states deal with immigration federalism. Comparative studies on the human rights implications of immigration federalism have received even less attention. This book seeks to fill the gap in this area and is an important contribution to the field, providing the reader with a better understanding of the complex issues surrounding immigration federalism and its impact on non-citizens.

Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: between linguistic and psychoanalytic concepts necessarily arises. Until now this question has been examined mainly by psychoanalysts, from their own perspective, but here it is investigated by a linguist, who systematically explores two domains. The first is related to the sign and symbol, where the meeting of Freud, Saussure and Hjelmselv occurred; whereas in the second, that of the signifier, Saussure reappears escorted by Lacan. But Freud is not far away, since the.

Download or read book Leadership Discourse and Ethnicity written by Janet Holmes and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in the field of workplace discourse to examine the relationships among leadership, ethnicity, and language use. Taking a social constructionist approach to the ways in which leadership is enacted through discourse, Leadership, Discourse, and Ethnicity problematizes the concept of ethnicity and demonstrates the importance of context-particularly the community of practice-in determining what counts as relevant in the analysis of ethnicity. The authors analyse everyday workplace interactions supplemented by interview data to examine the ways in which workplace leaders use language to achieve their transactional and relational goals in contrasting "ethnicized" contexts, two of which are Maori and two European/Pakeha. Their analysis pays special attention to the roles of ethnic values, beliefs and orientations in talk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un ouvrage de référence pour tous les (futurs) enseignants de FLES ! L’enseignement du français langue étrangère et seconde (FLES) ne cesse de se développer dans les pays francophones ou non francophones, dans les écoles, les universités ou diverses autres institutions, tandis que le métier de professeur de FLES devient de plus en plus exigeant vu la spécificité et la variété de ses publics, de ses conditions et de ses enjeux. Cet ouvrage d’introduction et de référence est destiné aux futurs enseignants de FLES en cours de formation comme aux professeurs plus expérimentés qui souhaitent actualiser leurs connaissances et leurs pratiques, se réorienter ou se spécialiser pour enseigner le/en français à des allophones. À leur intention sont présentés de manière aussi systématique qu’accessible les différents aspects de l’enseignement du FLES, en alternant explications scientifiques, réflexions théoriques et conseils pédagogiques. L’approche humaniste ici adoptée place l’enseignant et l’apprenant au centre des perspectives et des préoccupations, et s’appuie autant sur leur motivation et leur créativité que sur les méthodes ou les ressources qui sont actuellement à leur disposition. Sans prescrire de règles générales, de solutions toutes faites, de leçons toutes prêtes, le propos est d’expliquer les tenants et aboutissants des démarches communicatives, interculturelles et cognitives en faveur d’un apprentissage stimulant, efficace, épanouissant. La première version de cet ouvrage a été primée par l’Académie Royale de Belgique et traduite en chinois. Découvrez ce nouvel ouvrage de référence pour les enseignants de FLES, qui reprend une approche scientifique, des réflexions théoriques et des conseils pédagogiques dans une perspective humaniste où l'enseignant et l'apprenant sont au coeur des préoccupations. EXTRAIT On n’a évidemment pas attendu les professeurs, les didacticiens, les manuels, les laboratoires et les multimédias, les stages en immersion pour pratiquer les langues étrangères. Les difficultés que l’on dit actuellement éprouver pour apprendre et enseigner les langues font oublier que le plurilinguisme est plus ancien, plus répandu, somme toute plus « naturel » que le monolinguisme auquel nous ont condamnés les nations modernes, avant que les relations, les institutions et les firmes internationales n’obligent maintenant à parler de nouveau plusieurs langues. La didactique des langues, maternelle ou étrangères, ne cherche finalement qu’à mieux comprendre, pour mieux la contrôler et mieux en profiter, notre capacité innée à apprendre des langues, quelles que soient les circonstances. En principe, un adulte n’aurait pas plus besoin d’un professeur de langue étrangère qu’un bébé d’un professeur de langue maternelle. L’enseignement n’est donc qu’une manière parmi d’autres d’acquérir une langue étrangère, et pas toujours la plus efficace... au contraire : un didacticien a déjà fait remarquer de manière désabusée que l’apprentissage des langues n’était un problème que lorsqu’il avait lieu en classe. A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Jean-Marc Defays est professeur de didactique du français langue étrangère et seconde à l'Université de Liège où il dirige également le Département de français de l'Institut supérieur des langues vivantes. Il est aussi l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages et articles scientifiques de linguistique et de didactique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades have seen a rapid increase in the production and consumption of video by both professionals and amateurs. The near ubiquity of devices with video cameras and the rise of sites like YouTube have lead to the growth and transformation of the practices of producing, circulating, and viewing video, whether it be in households, workplaces, or research laboratories. This volume builds a foundation for studies of activities based in and around video production and consumption. It contributes to the interdisciplinary field of visual methodology, investigating how video functions as a resource for a variety of actors and professions.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogue interpreting, which takes place in institutional settings such as legal proceedings, healthcare contexts, work meetings or media talk, has attracted increasing attention in translation, language and communication studies.

It addresses a wide readership, including students and scholars in translation and interpreting studies, mediation and negotiation studies, linguistics, sociology, communication studies, conversation analysis, discourse analysis.

Download or read book Contested Categories written by Ayo Wahlberg and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on social science perspectives, Contested Categories presents a series of empirical studies that engage with the often shifting and day-to-day realities of life sciences categories. In doing so, it shows how such categories remain contested and dynamic, and that the boundaries they create are subject to negotiation as well as re-configuration and re-stabilization processes. Organized around the themes of biological substances and objects, personhood and the genomic body and the creation and dispersion of knowledge, each of the volume’s chapters reveals the elusive nature of fixity with regard to life science categories. With contributions from an international team of scholars, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the social, legal, policy and ethical implications of science and technology and the life sciences.
