Handbuch Politische Kommunikation

by Thomas Zerback Isabelle Borucki Stefan Marschall Katharina Kleinen-von Königslöw

Angesichts von Globalisierung, Individualisierung und Digitalisierung haben sich die Umwelten, Bedingungen und Folgen politischer Kommunikation fundamental gewandelt. Das stellt auch die Erforschung der politischen Kommunikation vor neue Herausforderungen. Diese schlagen sich in der Theorieentwicklung, in den Themen der Forschung, aber vor allem auch im methodischen Zugriff nieder. Angesichts dieses umfassenden Wandels bietet das Handbuch zum einen eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme der Forschung zur politischen Kommunikation. Neben dem State of the art will es zum anderen Entwicklungstrends der kommenden Jahre, insbesondere im Lichte der Digitalisierung, herauszeichnen und dabei diskutieren, wie die Forschung darauf reagieren kann.Das Handbuch ist konsequent interdisziplinär angelegt, es wird von Vertreter:innen der Kommunikationswissenschaft und der Politikwissenschaft gemeinsam herausgegeben. Die Autorinnen und Autoren der Beiträge stammen ebenfalls aus beiden Disziplinen. Auch in der thematischen Abdeckung berücksichtigt das Handbuch die beiden Perspektiven und schlägt darüber hinaus Brücken zu verwandten Forschungsbereichen, unter anderem zur Psychologie, Soziologie, Staatswissenschaft sowie Informatik.

Handbuch Soziale Medien

by Jan-Hinrik Schmidt Monika Taddicken

Soziale Medien erleichtern es Menschen, Informationen aller Art zu teilen und soziale Beziehungen zu pflegen. Sie sind in den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil der digitalen Kommunikation geworden und verändern die Strukturen gesellschaftlicher Öffentlichkeit, aber auch den alltäglichen Austausch über privat-persönliche Themen. Ihre kommunikative Architektur nährt Hoffnungen auf verbesserte gesellschaftliche Partizipation genauso wie Befürchtungen, immer mehr Bereiche des Lebens würden kommerzialisiert und überwacht. Das Handbuch bereitet den aktuellen Forschungs- und Diskussionsstand zu Nutzung, gesellschaftlicher Einbettung und Folgen der sozialen Medien aus der Kommunikationswissenschaft und den angrenzenden Sozialwissenschaften auf. Für die zweite Auflage wurden die Beiträge überarbeitet und aktualisiert sowie das Handbuch um neue Beiträge ergänzt.

Handbuch Versepik: Paradigmen – Poetiken – Geschichte

by Kai Bremer Stefan Elit

Die klassische Gattung des Versepos von Milton bis Klopstock ist nach dem Ende ihrer letzten Hochphasen im europäischen Raum (je nach Sprachkultur zwischen 1750 und 1850) wenig beachtet, obschon weiterhin eine erstaunliche Breite an Formen und Inhalten zu finden ist. Das Handbuch will den bekannten klassischen und vor allem den modernen, vielsprachigen Bestand von Versepik interdisziplinär und systematisch beschreiben und dabei zugleich Wege für weitergehende Arbeiten weisen. Ein erster Teil des Handbuchs beleuchtet allgemeine literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Aspekte. Ein weiterer Teil rekapituliert die ‚klassischen’ Epochen von der Antike bis ins 17. Jahrhundert. Der dritte Teil widmet sich dezidiert ausführlicher dem bis heute wohl größten offenen Feld, nämlich der Weiterentwicklung der europäischen Versepiken in den wichtigsten Sprachkulturen (v.a. Romania, anglo-amerikanischer, deutschsprachiger, slavischer Raum) seit der vorgeblichen Ablösung der alten Gattung durch die ‚modernere’ Prosa bzw. Romanliteratur.

Handbuch der Literaturen aus Czernowitz und der Bukowina

by Steffen Höhne Markus Winkler Andrei Corbea-Hoişie Oxana Matiychuk

Das Handbuch behandelt die multilinguale Literaturlandschaft Bukowina mit ihrem zentralen Ort Czernowitz (Cernăuţi, Černivci, Czerniowce) vom ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart. Unter Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher kultureller, konfessioneller und politischer Orientierungen, Prägungen und Interessen werden sowohl die nationalphilologischen Traditionen und Kanonisierungen als auch die komplexen und kontinuierlichen Austausch-, Übersetzungs- und Verflechtungsprozesse in den Blick genommen. Dabei wird insbesondere auch der rumänische und ukrainische Forschungsstand zu dieser Region betrachtet. Neben der Forschungsgeschichte der Region und theoretischen Konzepten (Interkulturalität und Raum) werden die kultur-, medien- und literaturgeschichtlichen Phasen sowie einzelne Akteure, Themen und Motive behandelt. Eine biographische Übersicht mit Lebensdaten der wichtigsten literarischen Repräsentanten der Bukowina beschließt den Band. - Die Bukowina kann als Paradigma einer polykulturell und -lingual verfassten Region verstanden werden, deren literarisch-kulturelles Erbe Wirkungen über die politischen Brüche von 1918, 1940/41 bzw. 1944 und 1991 hinaus entfaltet.

HandiLand: The Crippest Place on Earth (Corporealities: Discourses Of Disability)

by Elizabeth A Wheeler

HandiLand looks at young adult novels, fantasy series, graphic memoirs, and picture books of the last 25 years in which characters with disabilities take center stage for the first time. These books take what others regard as weaknesses—for instance, Harry Potter’s headaches or Hazel Lancaster’s oxygen tank—and redefine them as part of the hero’s journey. HandiLand places this movement from sidekick to hero in the political contexts of disability rights movements in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ghana. Elizabeth A. Wheeler invokes the fantasy of HandiLand, an ideal society ready for young people with disabilities before they get there, as a yardstick to measure how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go toward the goal of total inclusion. The book moves through the public spaces young people with disabilities have entered, including schools, nature, and online communities. As a disabled person and parent of children with disabilities, Wheeler offers an inside look into families who collude with their kids in shaping a better world. Moving, funny, and beautifully written, HandiLand: The Crippest Place on Earth is the definitive study of disability in contemporary literature for young readers.

Handicraft Philosophies: Craft, Representation, and Social Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century Britain

by Ruth Mack

The term "Enlightenment" still carries its tie to a grand philosophical tradition that in Britain moves through Bacon, Locke, and Hume. But the literature and philosophy of the Enlightenment was full of practical knowledge associated with the body and with craft. This book is an account of the eighteenth-century thinkers from across social classes who turned to the body to formulate new ways of knowing natural and social worlds—what Ruth Mack calls handicraft philosophies. The writers discussed in this book include a formerly enslaved man, Olaudah Equiano, and a washerwoman, Mary Collier, as well as gentlemen Joseph Banks and James Boswell, and the artist William Hogarth. In their efforts to communicate embodied ways of knowing, they bring together theory and practice; they set aside objectivity and relish the practical ways of knowing that are traditionally associated with lower classes and less-than-privileged bodies. Mack focuses on how such knowledge proved especially helpful for understanding "society" as a new object of enquiry in the Enlightenment, laying the groundwork for the emergence of anthropological and sociological thought. Complicating the intellectual history of Enlightenment Britain amidst the rise of popular science and imperial expansion, Handicraft Philosophies is a new account of the thinkers who configured "philosophy" as a practice open to all.

Handling Emotions in Human-Computer Dialogues

by Wolfgang Minker Johannes Pittermann Angela Pittermann

In this book, a novel approach that combines speech-based emotion recognition with adaptive human-computer dialogue modeling is described. With the robust recognition of emotions from speech signals as their goal, the authors analyze the effectiveness of using a plain emotion recognizer, a speech-emotion recognizer combining speech and emotion recognition, and multiple speech-emotion recognizers at the same time. The semi-stochastic dialogue model employed relates user emotion management to the corresponding dialogue interaction history and allows the device to adapt itself to the context, including altering the stylistic realization of its speech. This comprehensive volume begins by introducing spoken language dialogue systems and providing an overview of human emotions, theories, categorization and emotional speech. It moves on to cover the adaptive semi-stochastic dialogue model and the basic concepts of speech-emotion recognition. Finally, the authors show how speech-emotion recognizers can be optimized, and how an adaptive dialogue manager can be implemented. The book, with its novel methods to perform robust speech-based emotion recognition at low complexity, will be of interest to a variety of readers involved in human-computer interaction.

Handling the Truth: On the Writing of Memoir

by Beth Kephart

In the tradition of Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, a critically acclaimed National Book Award finalist shares inspiration and practical advice for writing a memoir. Writing memoir is a deeply personal, and consequential, undertaking. As the acclaimed author of five memoirs spanning significant turning points in her life, Beth Kephart has been both blessed and bruised by the genre. In Handling the Truth, she thinks out loud about the form--on how it gets made, on what it means to make it, on the searing language of truth, on the thin line between remembering and imagining, and, finally, on the rights of memoirists. Drawing on proven writing lessons and classic examples, on the work of her students and on her own memories of weather, landscape, color, and love, Kephart probes the wrenching and essential questions that lie at the heart of memoir. A beautifully written work in its own right, Handling the Truth is Kephart's memoir-writing guide for those who read or seek to write the truth.

Hands Down, Speak Out: Listening and Talking Across Literacy and Math

by Kassia Omohundro Wedekind Christy Hermann Thompson

Few skills are as critical or as rare today as the ability to hear and comprehend what other people are saying. The authors of' Hands Down, Speak Out' argue that we need new tools to teach the art of listening and they' ve put forward a simple yet transformative model for encouraging student conversations that are inclusive, empowering, and rich in content. This classroom guide for grades K-5 is particularly needed in the aftermath of two disrupted school years.' ' Teaching Foundational Skills Across Subjects:' Hands Down, Speak Out' is a practical guide for teaching listening and talking skills that span both literacy and math instruction and can be applied to a multitude of curriculums. K-5 Classroom Management Focused on Dialogue: Too often, the practice of hand-raising favors the performance of answers by a few students over the construction of meaning involving the whole class. Help' all' students develop dialogue skills that will deepen their understanding of literacy and mathematics, as well as of themselves, their communities, and the world. 28 Student-Centered Micro Lessons: Each of these short, incremental lessons build specific skills during content instruction rather than taking time away from it. Students will be energized by a discourse structure in which their ideas and voices take the lead while teachers focus on listening and facilitating. Nurturing Disagreements: The authors' provide guidance for managing difficult conversations by teaching students to engage in debate and discussion in a way that values listening equally with talking. Students are able to spend time developing active listening and speaking skills in a constructive environment. When we build talk communities with children, our greatest hope is that what they learn through talking about reading, writing, and math is matched by what they learn about living in the world with others, write Kassia Omohundro Wedekind and Christy Hermann Thompson.' Hands Down, Speak Out' demonstrates how teachers and leaders can run inclusive and accessible classrooms that respect each student' s level of participation.
