Men in the Making Stories【電子書籍】[ Bruce Machart ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A collection of “artful, emotional” and “manly” short stories from the acclaimed author of <em>The Wake of Forgiveness</em> (<em>Dallas News</em>).</strong></p> <p>From the critically acclaimed author of <em>The Wake of Forgiveness</em>ー“a mesmerizing, mythic saga,” as described by the <em>New York Times</em>ーcome ten remarkable stories that uncover unexpected beauty in the struggles of the modern American male.</p> <p>Like Richard Russo, Bruce Machart has a profound knowledge of the male psyche and a gift for conveying the absurdity and brutality of daily life with humor and compassion. Whether they find themselves walking the fertile farmland of south Texas, steering trucks through the suffocating sprawl of Houston, or turning logs into paper in the mills just west of the Sabine River, the men of these stories seek to prove themselves in a world that doesn’t always welcome them. Here are men whose furrows are never quite straight and whose hearts are near to bursting with all the desires they have been told they aren’t supposed to heed.</p> <p>“Bruce Machart is one of our most ambitious and fearless young writers. With <em>Men in the Making</em>, he has composed a remarkable paean to the complex fragility of the American male. I read these stories in a state of tender amazement.”ーSteve Almond, author of <em>Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Aus dem Leben einer Matratze bester Machart【電子書籍】[ Tim Krohn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Eine Matratze in den Wirren des 20. Jahrhunderts.<br /> Mit einem genialen Kunstgriff ?ffnet Tim Krohn das breite Panorama eines von zahlreichen Ersch?tterungen heimgesuchten Europa auf kleinstem Raum. Ein Sternstunde der Literatur, hochoriginell, voller begl?ckender, tragischer und komischer Momente.Die eigentliche Hauptfigur Tim Krohns ist eine Matratze. Viele abenteuerliche Schicksale kreuzen ihren Weg: Da ist der ewige Optimist Immanuel Wassermann, der aus Anlass seiner Spontanhochzeit mit einer gerade eroberten Italienerin eine deutsche Qualit?tsmatratze erwirbt und sich gegenden Rat seiner Freunde (er ist Jude, wir schreiben das Jahr 1935) mit seiner Braut nach Berlin begibt.Da sind Mirtha und Simon, die sich (es ist Nachkriegszeit) bisher nur auf ausgelegten Zeitungen betteten. Doch eben hat Mirtha die Matratze auf dem Rotkreuzbasar erstanden ? und sie schlafen in dieser Nacht so gut, dass sie am n?chsten Morgen beschlie?en, zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit einen Tag freizunehmen, um einfach nur auszuruhen.Und 30 Jahre sp?ter trifft Giaccomo Neri auf das, was von der einst stolzen Qualit?tsmatratze ?brig ist. J?hrlich f?hrt er an denselben Badeort bei Rom und hofft, dort jene unbekannte Frau wiederzutreffen, der er einmal fast einen Heiratsantrag gemacht h?tte. Als er bei einem Angelausflug ?ber Bord geht, rettet ihn ? f?r eine Weile wenigstens ? die im Meer treibende, aufgebl?hte Matratze und schenkt ihm eine letzte Nacht voller Tr?ume, die ihn mit der fremden Sch?nen vereinen.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: gut, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universit?t Bonn (Englisches Seminar), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Zwei Entwicklungsromane 1.1 Die Ich - Erz?hlperspektive 'To be quite sure I had fallen into no unconscious repetitions, I read David Copperfield again the other day, and was affected by it to a degree you would hardly believe.' - Bereits diese Aussage des Autors selbst angesichts des Entstehungsprozesses von Great Expectations verweist auf die in mehrfacher Hinsicht anzutreffende Verwandtschaft der beiden einzigen Werke, in denen er die Perspektive des allwissenden Erz?hlers verl??t. Rund zehn Jahre nach Erscheinen seines stark biographisch beeinflu?ten Romans David Copperfield 1850 kehrt Charles Dickens hier erstmals zur homodiegetischen Perspektive in der Berichterstattung zur?ck. In beiden Werken betrachtet das gel?uterte Ich aus dem Blickwinkel gro?er zeitlicher Distanz eine entscheidende heikle Entwicklungsphase seines Lebens, deren Grundkonflikt erst durch den langsamen Proze? des Erkennens und Lernens gel?st werden kann.

Die Fernsehserien 'Dallas' und 'Denver Clan'. Nur triviale Unterhaltung? Eine Untersuchung zum Genre Soap, Machart, Erfolg und Rezeption der beiden Serien【電子書籍】[ Sven Weidner ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1-, Universit?t der K?nste Berlin, Veranstaltung: The Oral History of TV, 11 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Hemmungslose Gef?hlshingabe, Polarisierung und Schematisierung moralischer Standpunkte, superreiche ?lmagnaten, exaltierte Frauenkeilereien, bodenlose Infamie, dunkle Machenschaften, exzessive Liebschaften und Geld en masse. Das sind nur einige der wenigen Attribute, die man zu h?ren bekommt, sobald die Sprache auf die in den 80er Jahren durchaus popul?ren Fernsehsoaps Dallas und Denver Clan kommt. Die beiden US-Importe verzeichneten nicht nur einen ungemeinen Erfolg bei den Einschaltquoten, sie lie?en auch die Herzen von Medienwissenschaftlern h?rbar h?her schlagen, und das im negativen wie positiven Sinne; gleichwohl sorgten sie f?r eine Menge Z?ndstoff nicht nur in der medienpolitischen, sondern auch in der kulturpolitischen Arena. W?hrend Intellektuelle aber auch Feuilletonisten den Untergang des Fernsehabendlandes kassandrahaft an die Wand malten, und Politiker in Bundestagsdebatten dar?ber stritten, ob eine solch intellektuell anspruchslose Produktion, die ein v?llig verzerrtes und unwirkliches Amerikabild transportierte nicht verboten werden sollte, fieberten die Fans von Dallas jeden Dienstag mit den Ewings und delektierten sich an J.R.`s Rachegel?sten. Gleiches gilt f?r den Mittwoch, wo die Zuschauer geradezu begierig auf die n?chste, klug ausgedachte Intrige von Alexis warten. Selbst der schwedische Regisseur Ingmar Bergmann - Grandseigneur im Filmbetrieb - fand Gefallen an Dallas und auch Elke Heidenreich brach f?r Dallas eine Lanze.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Charter School Wars Insight from a Charter School Innovator【電子書籍】[ Thomas Lubben ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Educational reform has been a topic of scholarly conversation for a long time, but little significant movement toward action has been made. Charter schools were discussed in varied forms throughout the 1980s, but it was not until 1991 that the State of Minnesota put charter school law into practice. Thomas Lubben entered the charter school world in 1996 when the State of Pennsylvania was in the process of discussing its law that was passed the same year. <em>The Charter School Wars</em> closely follows the personal life of a lifelong educator as he negotiated the political and personal steps involved in creating a school from nothing. The first several chapters focus on the obstacles and pitfalls that the author faced during the seven-year struggle to create a charter high school based on the creative and performing arts. Later chapters focus on the expansion of this proven artistic model into additional schools. Lubben compliments the personal narrative with a chapter, "A Charter School Primer," that focuses on the critical elements needed to open a charter school. Charter school parents, teachers, administrators, and enthusiasts will find this book an interesting and poignant read as they navigate their way through the charter school landscape.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Ethical Dilemma Charting a Bold and New Path for Ethics and Values in Nigeria【電子書籍】[ Tajudeen Toyin-Oke ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>“THE ETHICAL DILEMMA</p> <p>Charting A Bold And New Path For Ethics And Values In Nigeria."</p> <p>Author: Tajudeen Toyin-Oke</p> <p>BOOK SYNOPSIS</p> <p>In this timely and apt book, the author travels down memory lane to draw on key aspects of the turbulent history of Nigeria to attempt an analytical description of the malady he calls Nigeria’s ethical dilemma. To broach a subject whose scope is as expansive as the culture and ethnicity of Nigeria is diverse, the author has ingeniously sought safety in the 1999 constitutionally-prescribed seven National Ethics of Discipline, Integrity, Dignity of Labour, Social Justice, Religious Tolerance, Self-Reliance and Patriotism; in a rare literary excursion into the complex subject of ethics and values in Nigeria.</p> <p>Tajudeen Toyin-Oke has acquitted himself creditably by engaging in a sound and lucid analysis of the underlying factors responsible for the decline in ethics and values in Nigeria. He draws from his own rich personal and professional experience to tell this less than savory side of Nigeria’s story. The author, in recommending a brutally-frank national self-audit, while remaining optimistic for a glorious future, suggests that, Nigeria, in holding onto methods that are a mere relic of a mixed glorious and inglorious past, needs to courageously accept that even traditions can be remade anew so that a people can step out of their 'comfort zone,' and into a new and vibrant era of genuine growth and development.</p> <p>He concludes that, in this season, Nigeria needs leaders who are strategic in thinking and deliberate in deed, and who are committed to working with the best interests of the people they lead in mind, and that a remarkable transformation cannot be achieved without a fundamental shift in our long-held paradigms, and most importantly, an ethical revolution. It is that ethical revolution that has been the author’s avowed and passionate quest over the past one decade that made him to push for a Bill for the establishment of Agency for National Ethics and Values Compliance.</p> <p>CHAPTER ONE: The Battle Against Indiscipline</p> <p>Indiscipline simply means the exhibition of inappropriate and unethical conduct that is intentionally aimed at subverting, undercutting and undermining proper and correct behaviour. Indiscipline is the bane of Nigeria’s overall progress. Contrary to the broken record that sings that Nigeria's problems can be conveniently and consistently blamed on its leadership, the stark truth is that Nigerians must collectively bear full responsibility for the country's woes, as, at every turn government makes to address the challenges of corruption and indiscipline, it is the same groaning populace that not only turns round to wail in a litany of complaints, but exerts all effort to sabotage government will.</p> <p>The greatest manifestation of indiscipline in Nigeria is corruption. Corruption has risen to become virtually an institutional challenge to leadership in Nigeria. Allied to this is the fact that we are breeding too many powerful individuals at the expense of our institutions. When the institutions established to monitor, detect, and prevent wrong behaviour, and to apprehend and prosecute perpetrators are weak, such acts have the tendency to become sustained. It is time for a national self-audit. National audits are aimed at social re-engineering, ethical reorientation, and moral rejuvenation, which its initiators and promoters usually plan to undertake on behalf of the citizenry, and for the ultimate efficient functioning of the body politic. When all is said and done, there is a compelling need for an ethical revolution in Nigeria that will also incorporate economic and political nationalism, a re-orientation of moral leadership and a total overhauling of leadership education in Nigeria.</p> <p>CHAPTER TWO: The Fabric of Character</p> <p>Character constitutes the moral core of personhood. The only thing that can guide us as a people with a shared national identity, shared national destiny, shared cultural values as Africans, and no less significantly, a shared geographical location on Earth, is impeccable character. Good individual and collective character is an absolute necessity for wholesome and beneficial collaboration for national development. If Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, said, "Character equals destiny,”’then we can say, "National character is indispensable to wholesome national destiny."</p> <p>A person of good character can give up personal gain for the good of the whole. This is an excellent leadership lesson that those at the helm of affairs would do well to learn, and subscribe to. Self-control is the ability to choose to do the things we should, and to refrain from doing the things we shouldn’t. When we exhibit self-control, we build trust in other people. They respect us and are perfectly willing to collaborate with us. Self-control is what allows us to curb any tendency towards greed. Self-control is what allows us to keep our fingers away from the national till. Self-control is what dissuades us from clandestinely and fraudulently adding that extra zero to the figure we write on a cheque.</p> <p>Integrity is the practice of demonstrating unassailable honesty, and of demonstrating a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values. A person of integrity is someone who is the same person in all situations, from breakfast with his family in the morning, to the boardroom meeting, and then to a late afternoon funeral. The only way to learn how to be genuinely honest in all situations is to practice being honest in all situations. In the final analysis, for us to genuinely prosper as a nation, we, as the people of this nation, must commit to the authenticity that individual and collective integrity confers on a people.</p> <p>CHAPTER THREE: The Dignity of Labour</p> <p>Dignity of labour is the philosophy that teaches that all types of jobs deserve equal respect, and that no occupation should suffer the indignity of being considered inferior, while none should wear the toga of superiority. Labour is the exertion of mind and body, aimed towards the achievement of some human good or benefit, other than the pleasure directly derived from the work. Labour speaks into the dignity of human existence. Labour gives us a sense of self-satisfaction born of genuine accomplishment. Labour makes us self-dependent. Ultimately, there is a sense of honor in an honest day's work. It is honest labour that leads to the enduring and sustainable prosperity and power of any nation.</p> <p>Although every man ought to exist in an atmosphere that honours his labour, manual or mental, each man's dignity actually lies in his character. Manual work, even so-called unskilled labour, still requires some thought, and the skilled work of the engineer, the carpenter, the builder and the potter, is really as much mental as it is manual.</p> <p>Government must play its role by conferring dignity on all sectors through proper legislation and enforcement of worker’s welfare and emoluments. The informal sector contributes fully 65 percent of Nigeria's GDP, creating millions of jobs in the process. Based on this significant fact alone, the informal sector deserves as much dignity as the formal sector, if dignity of labour is to mean anything. Rather than simply reducing Worker's Day simply as a day when workers, by yearly rote, converge at Eagles Square in Abuja, with the president in attendance, it ought to be a day in which symposia, seminars, conferences and rallies are organized. Each of these fora should, ideally, be dedicated to expounding the ideals, and the dignity of labour. The wealth of nations is created by the work of labourers, and it is only when labour is backed with commensurate returns that the doctrine of the dignity of labour will become truly vindicated as a vital philosophy in the evolution of our society into an egalitarian one, and it is then that one can, with all justification, ask workers to live above board by subscribing to ethical conduct.</p> <p>CHAPTER FOUR: The Quest For Social Justice And Equity</p> <p>Social justice constitutes the proper human social order that can guarantee the equitable distribution of benefits and burdens in a society, and especially in such a manner as to foster a flourishing state where individuals are treated equally by the state, regardless of social status or creed. The five major principles of social justice are access to resources, equity, participation, diversity, and human rights. The actual implementation of social justice policies falls within the purvey of government and its agencies, with significant fringe support from non-profit organizations and foundations.</p> <p>Human rights have come to occupy a pride of place in any serious discourse on social justice. Human rights is not only a key principle of social justice, it is actually a foundational part of the entire concept. The lopsided administration of social justice, especially in terms of unfair and inequitable distribution of social goods among the multiplicity of ethnic groups in Nigeria has also resulted in individual allegiance to ethnic interests rather than to the Nigerian state as a corporate whole. Tat is why, carefully contrived measures towards restructuring the social order in Nigeria need to be taken, most certainly if meaningful progress and development is to be achieved in the long haul. The principal function of the basic structure of a society is to distribute both the benefits and burdens of that society equitably. The benefits of social cohesion include income and wealth, food and shelter, authority and power, amongst others. The burdens of the same social cohesion include duties, obligations and liabilities. The most critical utility of the concept of social justice lies unequivocally in the formation and sustenance of a stable, viable, humane and progressive society. Social justice prevails in a society in which ju画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Vladimir Markov and Russian Primitivism A Charter for the Avant-Garde【電子書籍】[ Jeremy Howard ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Hailed as a brilliant theoretician, Voldem?rs Matvejs (best known by his pen name Vladimir Markov) was a Latvian artist who spearheaded the Union of Youth, a dynamic group championing artistic change in Russia, 1910-14. His work had a formative impact on Malevich, Tatlin, and the Constructivists before it was censored during the era of Soviet realism. This volume introduces Markov as an innovative and pioneering art photographer and assembles, for the first time, five of his most important essays. The translations of these hard-to-find texts are fresh, unabridged, and authentically poetic. Critical essays by Jeremy Howard and Irena Buzinska situate his work in the larger phenomenon of Russian ’primitivism’, i.e. the search for the primal. This book challenges hardening narratives of primitivism by reexamining the enthusiasm for world art in the early modern period from the perspective of Russia rather than Western Europe. Markov composed what may be the first book on African art and Z.S. Strother analyzes both the text and its photographs for their unique interpretation of West African sculpture as a Kantian ’play of masses and weights’. The book will appeal to students of modernism, orientalism, ’primitivism’, historiography, African art, and the history of the photography of sculpture.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>The impulses that fired the Southern Literary Renaissance echoed the impetus behind the Irish Literary Revival at the turn of the twentieth century, when Ireland sought to demonstrate its cultural equality with any European nation and disentangle itself from English-imposed stereotypes. Seeking to prove that the South was indeed the cultural equal of greater America, despite the harsh realities of political defeat, economic scarcity, and racial strife, Southern writers embarked on a career to re-imagine the American South and to re-invent literary criticism.<br /> Transatlantic Renaissances: Literature of Ireland and the American South traces the influence of the Irish Revival upon the Southern Renaissance, exploring how the latter looked to the former for guidance, artistic innovation, and models for self-invention and regional renovation.While Deleuze and Guattari’s model for minor literature refers to minority or regional authors who work within a major language for purposes of subversion, Artuso modifies their term along generic and thematic lines to refer to errant female juveniles within subsidiary genres whose nonconformist development threatens to disrupt the dominant patriarchal culture of a region or nation. Using the themes of initiation and maturation to anchor the book, Artuso analyzes how the volatile development of young women in revivalist texts often reflects or questions larger growth pangs and patterns, including the evolution of the literary revival itself and the development of a regional minority group that must work within a dominant culture, language, and nation while seeking methods of subversion. With minor literature as the container for undervalued genres such as popular fiction and short storiesーoften considered an author’s juveniliaーthis work investigates not only how these texts challenge the authoritative claims of the novel, but also scrutinizes the renaissance trope of female rebirth, as the revivalists often figured cultural, national, or regional regeneration through the metamorphoses or maturation of female protagonists such as Cathleen n? Houlihan, Scarlett O’Hara, and Virgie Rainey. Drawing upon New Historical, New Critical, and postcolonial approaches, Artuso examines works by Lady Gregory, Margaret Mitchell, Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Bowen, Jean Toomer, and James Joyce.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
