Depicting the Consumer of Experiential Luxury: Identities, Values and Consumption Goals in Online Reviewer Discourse on Wine, Perfume and Chocolate
by Charlotte Hommerberg Maria LindgrenThis book sheds light on the addressees of online reviewer discourse on wine, perfume and chocolate in order to explore how the discourse construes the consumer of experiential luxury. In the 21st century, luxury is more complex than ever before. Luxury products have become more affordable and hence accessible to new markets and consumer segments, and the groups of consumers seeking luxury experiences are more heterogeneous than ever. Yet, consumption choices as well as how these are thought about, evaluated and talked about still function to position consumers with respect to both how they see themselves and how they want others to see them. Many consumers seek to consume in subtle and sophisticated ways. They strive to develop consumption expertise with a view to maximizing their enjoyment from the luxury experience, avoiding overt displays of wealth while signalling status by means of luxury insight only available to the cognoscenti. One way for aficionados to develop their insight into the diversified and elusive realm of contemporary luxury is to engage with online reviewer discourse. The authors take a discourse analytic approach informed by the Appraisal model to expose the imagined addressees’ characteristics and behaviour, the luxury values they embrace and the goals of their luxury consumption. The authors argue that the activity of online reviewers is such a crucial arena in contemporary luxury that a new form of luxury consumption has emerged, which they label review-based luxury. This book will be of interest to students and academics in the fields of Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Communication, Argumentation, Media Studies and Marketing, as well as anyone with a general interest in wine, perfume and chocolate as experiential luxury.

Deploying Enterprise Systems: How to Select, Configure, Build, Deploy, and Maintain a Successful ES in Your Organization
by David MattsonThis book focuses on topics that business managers and project teams in global enterprises need to understand and follow to successfully deploy an Enterprise System (ES) for their organization. It explains: Why this type of software product will appeal to global organizations with the promise to replace their older individual systems with a single integrated ES and how an ES allows companies to integrate their unique operations with a single system of many integrated modules that are designed to provide prebuilt and tested applications; New concepts, steps, risks, and methods that an organization should follow to successfully create and deploy an ES; and the top 10 reasons that ES projects fail and the practices to manage these risks. In addition, the book describes a new Implementation Model and methods to ensure success in deploying an ES across a firm with several divisions, international operations, product lines, and infrastructure. Essentially, this book: Describes, in non-technical terms, what business functions this new software product will improve Shows how an enterprise should use this software product to accomplish their goals to install and use this new technology to upgrade their older systems Explains what an organization’s management and project teams should avoid during selecting, planning, and implementing their ES to avoid common mistakes Describes the skills and experience (including IT and general management) the Project Manager must have to lead the project team(s) to implement this advanced system.
Deploying Ourselves: Islamist Violence, Globalization, and the Responsible Projection of U.S. Force
by David A. WestbrookIn Deploying Ourselves, David A. Westbrook puts the case for major reform of US national security. He argues that today's national security establishment is outdated and entrenched in a model of defence more befitting the post-World War II Cold War era than today's realities. In a world without military peers, Westbrook argues, the US must re-create its institutions in order to wield influence globally, based on co-operation with other states and groups. Deploying Ourselves includes specific proposals to make US national security institutions more democratically accountable.
Depopulation, Aging, and Living Environments: Learning from Social Capital and Mountainous Areas in Japan (Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences)
by Kenji TsutsumiThis book provides perspectives on depopulated areas and regional social capital from positivistic field surveys. Among the developed countries of the world, Japan has a very small amount of national land, with almost 70% of it being in mountainous locations. Concentration of populations and economic capital into large metropolitan areas along with many depopulated and population-aged regions in the mountainous parts can be seen in the country. A very clear regional disparity has arisen in Japan, especially since the era of its high economic growth. This book also offers critical suggestions for the shrinking societies of the developed world in the era of Society 5.0, the fifth stage of society where economic development is achieved and social issues are resolved by the fusion of cyber and physical space. To begin, the book refers to an outline of depopulation and depopulated areas in Japan. Then, it deals with issues of depopulation, out-migration from a mountainous village, revitalization of local industries, and maintenance of daily living functions in these areas. This book is suitable for students and scholars of the social sciences, regional planners, staffs of government offices, members of NPOs, general citizens, and the many other people who are interested in sustainability of a region and a community in a shrinking social environment.
Depopulation, Deindustrialisation and Disasters: Building Sustainable Communities in Japan
by Katsutaka Shiraishi Nobutaka MatobaDepopulation, Deindustrialisation and Disasters are three of the biggest problems facing Japan today. This book discusses how sustainable communities are being created in Japan in an attempt to overcome the threat of the triple Ds . It provides an overview of how each of these three core issues endangers the sustainability of local communities especially, but also discusses how they might also provide an opportunity to replace outdated paradigms, rooted in expansion and competition, with a new way forward on a global scale. The authors explore how the Japanese government has followed the worldwide trend of implementing neo-liberal policies in response to globalisation and how these policies have resulted in a mass exodus into larger cities such as Tokyo, leaving local communities more vulnerable to socio-economic threats. The authors highlight non-metropolitan areas facing the ‘triple D’ threat and introduce several case studies on how these are working towards achieving a more sustainable future. Written by members of the LORC (Research Centre for the Local Public Human Resources and Policy Development, Ryukoku University) this collection will be invaluable to scholars across the social and political sciences and to those interested in how innovative policy making can positively influence sustainable development.
Deportation, Anxiety, Justice: New ethnographic perspectives (ISSN)
by Heike Drotbohm and Ines HasselbergThis book provides new ethnographic perspectives on the intersections between deportation, anxiety, and justice. As an instrument for controlling international migration, deportation policies may be justified by public authorities as measures responding to anxieties over (unregulated) migration. At the same time, they also bring out uncertainty and unrest to deportable and deported migrants as well as to their social and institutional environments, in which this act of the state may appear deeply unjust. Providing new and complementary insights into what ‘deportation’ as a legal and policy measure actually embraces in social reality, this book argues for an understanding of deportation as a process that begins long before, and carries on long after, the removal from one country to another takes place. It provides a transnational perspective over the ‘deportation corridor’, covering different places, sites, actors, and institutions. Most importantly, it reasserts the emotional and normative elements inherent to contemporary deportation policies and practices, emphasising the interplay between deportation, perceptions of justice, and national, institutional, and personal anxieties. Written by leading experts in the field, the contributions cover a broad spectrum of geographical sites, deportation practices, and perspectives, bring together a long overdue addition to the current scholarship on deportation studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
Deported Americans: Life after Deportation to Mexico
by Beth C. CaldwellWhen Gina was deported to Tijuana, Mexico, in 2011, she left behind her parents, siblings, and children, all of whom are U.S. citizens. Despite having once had a green card, Gina was removed from the only country she had ever known. In Deported Americans legal scholar and former public defender Beth C. Caldwell tells Gina's story alongside those of dozens of other Dreamers, who are among the hundreds of thousands who have been deported to Mexico in recent years. Many of them had lawful status, held green cards, or served in the U.S. military. Now, they have been banished, many with no hope of lawfully returning. Having interviewed over one hundred deportees and their families, Caldwell traces deportation's long-term consequences—such as depression, drug use, and homelessness—on both sides of the border. Showing how U.S. deportation law systematically fails to protect the rights of immigrants and their families, Caldwell challenges traditional notions of what it means to be an American and recommends legislative and judicial reforms to mitigate the injustices suffered by the millions of U.S. citizens affected by deportation.
Deportes: The Making of a Sporting Mexican Diaspora (Latinidad: Transnational Cultures in the United States)
by José M AlamilloSpanning the first half of the twentieth century, Deportes uncovers the hidden experiences of Mexican male and female athletes, teams and leagues and their supporters who fought for a more level playing field on both sides of the border. Despite a widespread belief that Mexicans shunned physical exercise, teamwork or “good sportsmanship,” they proved that they could compete in a wide variety of sports at amateur, semiprofessional, Olympic and professional levels. Some even made their mark in the sports world by becoming the “first” Mexican athlete to reach the big leagues and win Olympic medals or world boxing and tennis titles. These sporting achievements were not theirs alone, an entire cadre of supporters—families, friends, coaches, managers, promoters, sportswriters, and fans—rallied around them and celebrated their athletic success. The Mexican nation and community, at home or abroad, elevated Mexican athletes to sports hero status with a deep sense of cultural and national pride. Alamillo argues that Mexican-origin males and females in the United States used sports to empower themselves and their community by developing and sustaining transnational networks with Mexico. Ultimately, these athletes and their supporters created a “sporting Mexican diaspora” that overcame economic barriers, challenged racial and gender assumptions, forged sporting networks across borders, developed new hybrid identities and raised awareness about civil rights within and beyond the sporting world.
Depression: Integrating Science, Culture, and Humanities
by Bradley LewisWe live in an era of depression, a condition that causes extensive suffering for individuals and families and saps our collective productivity. Yet there remains considerable confusion about how to understand depression. Depression: Integrating Science, Culture, and Humanities looks at the varied and multiple models through which depression is understood. Highlighting how depression is increasingly seen through models of biomedicine—and through biomedical catch-alls such as "broken brains" and "chemical imbalances"—psychiatrist and cultural studies scholar Bradley Lewis shows how depression is also understood through a variety of other contemporary models. Furthermore, Lewis explores the different ways that depression has been categorized, described, and experienced across history and across cultures.
Depression in Latinos
by Sergio A. Aguilar-Gaxiola Thomas P. GullottaDepression ranks as a leading mental health problem among Hispanic immigrants and their US-born children. And a wide array of issues - starting with the widespread stereotype of the "illegal immigrant" - makes the Latino experience of this condition differ from that of any other group. Depression in Latinos consolidates the conceptual, diagnostic, and clinical knowledge based on this salient topic, providing coverage from prevalence to prevention, from efficient screening to effective interventions. In this concise yet comprehensive volume, leading clinicians, researchers, and academics offer extensive research and clinical findings, literature reviews (e.g., an in-depth chapter on the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey), and insights gathered from first-hand experience in clinical practice. Perceptive information is offered on the most urgent and complex issues on depression in this diverse and dynamic population, including: (1) The impact language, culture, and societal factors have on depression and its diagnosis. (2) The most relevant assessment instruments. (3) How depression manifests among Latino children, youth, and seniors as well as in Latinas. (4) The relationship between depression and substance abuse. (5) The most effective evidence-based treatment methods. (6) The efficacy of interventions for depression at the community level. Depression in Latinos is vital reading for clinicians, counseling and school psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and public health professionals interested in providing their Hispanic clients with the most effective treatment possible. In addition, its coverage of the broader issues of access to care makes this volume essential reading for mental health administrators, volunteer/outreach agencies, and policymakers.
Depression, Trauma, and Anxiety: In Management and Public Affairs
by Sven J. Matten Markus J. PauschThe collective term used by the authors, "stress spectrum disorder", explains the major causal factors that determine and maintain symptoms of physical and psychological overload. Specific recommendations are given for those who suffer from symptoms or have already been diagnosed with a psychological disorder. Special attention is given to people in the public eye, such as managers or executives. The explanatory, conditional, disorder and maintenance model is based on phylogenetic patterns of people in general as well as individual biography-specific patterns. In addition to the explanation of the disorder models, concrete assistance is provided, be it phylogenetic-human or individual-biographical.
Depression, Trauma und Ängste: In Management und Öffentlichkeit
by Markus J. Pausch Sven J. MattenDer von den Autoren verwendete Sammelbegriff „Stress-Spektrumstörung“ erläutert wesentliche ursächliche determinierende und aufrechterhaltende Faktoren, sowie Beschwerden von körperlichen und psychischen Überlastungsreaktionen. Es werden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für jene dargestellt, welche unter Beschwerden oder bereits psychischen Diagnosen leiden. Dies mit besonderem Fokus auf in der Öffentlichkeit stehenden Personen wie etwa Manager oder Vorstände. Ausgang für das Erklärungs-, Bedingungs-, Störungs- und Aufrechterhaltungsmodell sind hierbei zum einen phylogenetische Schemata von Menschen ganz allgemein, sowie individuelle biographiespezifische. Ergänzend zur Erläuterung der Störungsmodelle werden konkrete Hilfestellungen gegeben, seien es nun phylogenetisch-menschliche, oder individuell-biographische.
Depressive Love: A Social Pathology (Classical and Contemporary Social Theory)
by Emma EngdahlLove and depression are key elements in the cultural script of emotions or affectual life within contemporary Western society, and the two have become intertwined to such an extent that it is informative to talk about depressive love. Indeed, the most common source of depression is intimate relationships, in which one partner is not recognised by the other as being in need or worthy of loving care. This book addresses the question of how it is possible for opposite emotional experiences such as love and depression to appear simultaneously, empirically documenting the phenomenon of depressive love and its implications through studies of art, including music, literature and photography, and the experiences of everyday life, by way of interviews and the analysis of e-mail-, sms-, messenger-correspondence, and other new media spaces. Engaging with a range of sociological, psychoanalytic and philosophical theories of love, depression and emotion, including the work of Simmel, Alberoni, Barthes, Hochschild, Giddens, Luhmann, Beck and Beck-Gernsheim, Illouz, Bauman, Hegel, Honneth, Ehrenberg, Han, Lévinas, Sartre, Freud, Lacan, and Kristeva, to name but a few, the author examines the ways in which depressive love is expressed in modern society, asking whether it is a new phenomenon and confined to the West and if not, what is distinctive about depressive love and its associated (dys)functions in contemporary Western society. An empirically rich and theoretically broad study of depressive love as a sign of our times, this book will appeal to scholars and students of social theory and the sociology and philosophy of emotion and interpersonal relationships.

Depth of Shallow Culture: The High Art of Shoes, Movies, Novels, Monsters, and Toys
by Albert J. BergesenCome take a closer look at ordinary footwear, like sneakers, or children's toys and Saturday cartoon TV shows, or make a comparison between Don Quixote and John Rambo of the Sylvester Stallone movie. Although some regard popular culture as "shallow," this book reveals that it is more often complex, deep, meaningful and subject to the style changes we associate with high art. Bergesen shows how complex philosophical ideas of reincarnation are embedded in Transformer toys; how sneakers have gone through a life cycle of style types; why the decline of empires like Spain and the United States led to fictional characters like Don Quixote and Rambo; and why monsters from Japan look different than those from the United States.
Der Altersübergang als Neuarrangement von Arbeit und Leben: Kooperative Dienstleistungen für das Alter(n) in Vielfalt
by Werner Schneider Stephanie StadelbacherDer Altersübergang, der wesentlich vom Austritt aus dem Berufsleben und dem Eintritt in die Nacherwerbsphase geprägt ist, ist eine Umbruchphase, in der so manche Lebensordnung neu ausgerichtet werden muss. Das kann für den einen neue Chancen, für den anderen neue Risiken bedeuten. Gesundheit ist ein wichtiges Thema für alle – als Grundlage für die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten auch und insbesondere in dieser Lebensphase. Um Gesundheit präventiv zu fördern und zu erhalten, sind entsprechende Angebote hilfreich. Wobei hier die Ergänzung von betrieblichen und kommunalen Standardangeboten durch individualisierte, bedarfsgerechte und bedürfnisorientierte Angebote notwendig ist. Denn so wenig wie es ‚den‘ Altersübergang gibt, kann es auch ‚die‘ Standardlösungen in Gesundheitsfragen geben. Diese Ergänzung in Form von kooperativen Dienstleistungen zur präventiven Förderung von Gesundheit ist Gegenstand des Projekts FISnet (Flexible, individualisierte Service-Netzwerke).Als Teil einer Reihe von Veröffentlichungen im Rahmen des Verbundprojekts FISnet (Flexible, individualisierte Service-Netzwerke) bietet der vorliegende Sammelband einen differenzierten Blick auf den inhaltlichen Fokus des Projekts, den Altersübergang generell und speziell die Gesundheit im Altersübergang, aber auch auf flankierende Aspekte kooperativer Dienstleistungen für den Altersübergang. Das Buch schließt damit nicht nur an den aktuellen Diskurs um das Alter(n) an, sondern leistet darüber hinaus einen Beitrag zur gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Gestaltung von Unterstützungsmaßnahmen für den Altersübergang.
Der Beitrag der Psychologie zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung: Ein Kompendium (SDG - Forschung, Konzepte, Lösungsansätze zur Nachhaltigkeit)
by Antje FladeDie von den Vereinten Nationen für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung formulierten siebzehn Themenfelder sind politische Zielsetzungen. Sie beruhen auf dem Leitbild der Nachhaltigkeit, dem drei Dimensionen zugrunde liegen: die Ökonomie, die Ökologie und die sozialen Belange. Die internationalen und nationalen Akteursebenen liefern ein Rahmenprogramm, das jedoch gefüllt und konkretisiert werden muss, um eine nachhaltige Entwicklung zu erreichen. Das geschieht vor allem auf der kommunalen und der individuellen Ebene. Damit der einzelne Mensch zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung beitragen kann, muss er dazu befähigt und motiviert werden. Die Psychologie verfügt über Theorien und Konzepte, um umweltbezogenes Handeln zu erklären und zu beeinflussen. Sie ist deshalb bei den Bemühungen, zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung zu gelangen, unentbehrlich.
Der Computer erscheint im Holozän: Die sieben Weltwunder der digitalen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft (Die blaue Stunde der Informatik)
by Andreas Meier Fabrice TschudiDie sieben Weltwunder wurden bereits in der Antike beschrieben, etwa zur selben Zeit wie die mechanische Rechenhilfe Abacus, ein Zählrahmen mit Holz- oder Glasperlen. Dieses Buch beschreibt und diskutiert die sieben Weltwunder der IT, ohne die unsere digitale Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft kaum überlebensfähig scheint: Computermaus, Datenbanken, Kryptografie, Graphgrammatiken, Internet, Blockchain und Soft Computing. Jedes Weltwunder der IT wird kurz charakterisiert, bevor Anwendungsoptionen für Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft exemplarisch aufgezeigt und gewürdigt werden. Das Werk richtet sich an alle, die sich mit der digitalen Transformation auseinandersetzen. Es soll helfen, digitale Entwicklungen im eigenen Unternehmen, in der Verwaltung oder im öffentlichen wie im privaten Leben zu positionieren und zu reflektieren.
Der Dandy und seine Verwandten: Elegante Flaneure, vergnügte Provokateure, traurige Zeitdiagnostiker (essentials)
by Robert HettlageDandys gelten weithin als elegante, eitle ,,Salonlöwen", die in der Welt der Reichen und Schönen zu Hause sind und nichts anderes im Sinn haben, als es dort zu Ansehen und Prominenz zu bringen. Bei genauerer Analyse erweist sich diese Beschreibung als viel zu eingeschränkt und teilweise sogar als irreführend. Robert Hettlage vertritt die Auffassung, dass der spielerisch-provozierende Dandy sich nicht auf den eleganten Effekthascher reduzieren lässt, sondern auf sehr spezifische Weise immer auch, wenn nicht sogar vor allem, Kritiker seiner Zeit und der jeweils herrschenden Lebensumstände ist. Der Dandy sieht sich weder als Bohemien noch als politischen Aktivisten oder gar als Revolutionär, sondern eher als scharf beobachtenden Flaneur, der den Menschen auf seine Weise die Augen öffnen will. Darüber hinaus wird in diesem Essential die These bestritten, dass die Postmoderne dem Dandytum den Boden seines Wirkens entzogen hätte.
Der Deutsche Olympische Sportbund in der Zivilgesellschaft
by Sebastian BraunSteht der Deutsche Olympische Sportbund (DOSB) als zivilgesellschaftlicher Akteur in Deutschland am Scheideweg? Einerseits hat er sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten mit seinem ausdifferenzierten Sportvereinswesen zu der größten Personenvereinigung mit dem höchsten Anteil bürgerschaftlich Engagierter entwickelt. Auf der anderen Seite droht nach Experteneinschätzungen das zivilgesellschaftliche Fundament des DOSB zu erodieren. Der Band analysiert vor dem Hintergrund aktueller engagementpolitischer Debatten Traditionen und Perspektiven einer originären "sportbezogenen Engagementpolitik". Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Themenfelder "Integration", "Alter(n)", "Bildung" und "bürgerschaftliches Engagement von Unternehmen".

Der Einfluss der Wirtschaftswissenschaft auf Wirtschaftspolitik und Ökonomie
by Jan SparsamDas Buch versammelt Beiträge zu einer wissenssoziologischen Verwendungsforschung der Ökonomik. Damit verortet es sich in einer Forschungsrichtung, die sich in den letzten Jahren innerhalb der Soziologie als ‚Soziologie der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Wissens‘ herausgebildet hat. Die enthaltenen Beiträge beschäftigen sich dem Paradoxon, dass zwar eine Omnipräsenz der Wirtschaftswissenschaft in vielen sozialen Bereichen behauptet wird, ein flächendeckender Einfluss wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Technologie (Theorien, Modelle, Verfahrensweisen) jedoch strittig ist. Das Programm der Verwendungsforschung zielt darauf, die Relevanz wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Technologie in außerakademischen Kontexten aus der Sicht der Akteure zu rekonstruieren.
