""...a noteworthy contribution to scholarship on late nineteenth-century American women writers...Hausmann describes how female characters in literary environments operate literally and symbolically to reveal conceptual complexities that challenge traditional notions about women and space.""-Dr. Geraldine Smith-Wright,Drew University

Die Werke des Tacitus prägen bis heute das Bild, das die Nachwelt über die frühe römische Kaiserzeit besitzt. Dieses Bild muss jedoch kritisch auf seinen Wahrheitsgehalt geprüft werden. Denn dem eigenen Grundsatz der unparteilichen Berichterstattung bleibt Tacitus bei genauerer Analyse seiner Darstellung häufig nicht treu. Oft unterschwellig vermittelt er bei scheinbarer Objektivität dem Leser seine rein subjektive Deutung der beschriebenen Vorgänge. Anhand der Tiberiusbücher der Annalen stellt das Buch exemplarisch die Techniken dieser Leserlenkung vor. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf die Charakterdarstellungen der handelnden Personen gelegt. Der zweite, umfangreichere Teil des Werkes widmet sich den Claudiusbüchern der Annalen , die nach Art eines interpretierenden Kommentars kapitelweise unter dem Aspekt der Insinuationskunst analysiert werden. Ein wichtiges Anliegen des Buches ist es, die zum Teil recht divergierenden und verstreuten Ergebnisse früherer Analysen vorzustellen, zusammenzuführen und zu erweitern.

Sparzwänge, Fusionen oder gar Schliessungen von Sparten und gesamten Ein-richtungen sind kein Tabu mehr. Auf Zuschusskürzungen, Kostensteigerungen und vor allem den zunehmenden Wettbewerb um Besucher müssen die Häuser mit nachhaltig tragfähigen Veränderungen reagieren. Angesichts dieser Entwicklungen ist es unerlässlich, sich mit dem Marketing einem Konzept zuzuwenden, das sich in der Privatwirtschaft seit langem bewährt hat, und dessen Einsatz zum Beispiel im öffentlichen Museumsbereich bereits zu beachtenswerten Erfolgen geführt hat.Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die dabei erforderlichen konzeptionellen Grundlagen, die Formulierung und Umsetzung der Marketingziele und -strategien sowie das praktische Instrumentarium für das Theatermarketing.

Recent crises in emerging markets have been heavily driven by balance-sheet or net-worth effects. Episodes in countries as far-flung as Indonesia and Argentina have shown that exchange rate adjustments that would normally help to restore balance can be destabilizing, even catastrophic, for countries whose debts are denominated in foreign currencies. Many economists instinctually assume that developing countries allow their foreign debts to be denominated in dollars, yen, or euros because they simply don't know better. Presenting evidence that even emerging markets with strong policies and institutions experience this problem, Other People's Money recognizes that the situation must be attributed to more than ignorance. Instead, the contributors suggest that the problem is linked to the operation of international financial markets, which prevent countries from borrowing in their own currencies. A comprehensive analysis of the sources of this problem and its consequences, Other People's Money takes the study one step further, proposing a solution that would involve having the World Bank and regional development banks themselves borrow and lend in emerging market currencies.

This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction.For ""classic"" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the m

Cohomology and homology modulo 2 helps the reader grasp more readily the basics of a major tool in algebraic topology. Compared to a more general approach to (co)homology this refreshing approach has many pedagogical advantages: It leads more quickly to the essentials of the subject, An absence of signs and orientation considerations simplifies the theory, Computations and advanced applications can be presented at an earlier stage, Simple geometrical interpretations of (co)chains. Mod 2 (co)homology was developed in the first quarter of the twentieth century as an alternative to integral homology, before both became particular cases of (co)homology with arbitrary coefficients. The first chapters of this book may serve as a basis for a graduate-level introductory course to (co)homology. Simplicial and singular mod 2 (co)homology are introduced, with their products and Steenrod squares, as well as equivariant cohomology. Classical applications include Brouwer's fixed point theorem, Poincaré duality, Borsuk-Ulam theorem, Hopf invariant, Smith theory, Kervaire invariant, etc. The cohomology of flag manifolds is treated in detail (without spectral sequences), including the relationship between Stiefel-Whitney classes and Schubert calculus. More recent developments are also covered, including topological complexity, face spaces, equivariant Morse theory, conjugation spaces, polygon spaces, amongst others. Each chapter ends with exercises, with some hints and answers at the end of the book.

The politics and policies that led to America's expansion of the penal system and reduction of welfare programs In 1970's America, politicians began "getting tough" on drugs, crime, and welfare. These campaigns helped expand the nation's penal system, discredit welfare programs, and cast blame for the era's social upheaval on racialized deviants that the state was not accountable to serve or represent. Getting Tough sheds light on how this unprecedented growth of the penal system and the evisceration of the nation's welfare programs developed hand in hand. Julilly Kohler-Hausmann shows that these historical events were animated by struggles over how to interpret and respond to the inequality and disorder that crested during this period. When social movements and the slowing economy destabilized the U.S. welfare state, politicians reacted by repudiating the commitment to individual rehabilitation that had governed penal and social programs for decades. In its place, they championed strategies of punishment, surveillance, and containment. The architects of these tough strategies insisted they were necessary, given the failure of liberal social programs and the supposed pathological culture within poor African American and Latino communities. Kohler-Hausmann rejects this explanation and describes how the spectacle of enacting punitive policies convinced many Americans that social investment was counterproductive and the "underclass" could be managed only through coercion and force. Getting Tough illuminates this narrative through three legislative cases: New York's adoption of the 1973 Rockefeller drug laws, Illinois's and California's attempts to reform welfare through criminalization and work mandates, and California's passing of a 1976 sentencing law that abandoned rehabilitation as an aim of incarceration. Spanning diverse institutions and weaving together the perspectives of opponents, supporters, and targets of punitive policies, Getting Tough offers new interpretations of dramatic transformations in the modern American state.

This essential explains the most important decisions to be made in the practice of cultural tourism marketing. After an introduction to the term and the central characteristics, the most important activities in the planning process of cultural tourism marketing are presented. Building on this, Andrea Hausmann and Sarah Schuhbauer describe marketing strategies that are particularly relevant in cultural tourism practice. These include dealing with relevant types of demand (segmentation), brand management (branding), the realisation of innovations (digitisation) and the behaviour towards the competition (cooperation and networks). In a next step, typical key aspects in the marketing mix of cultural tourism service providers are examined. Finally, the importance of staff for the quality of experience of tourism demand is elaborated.
