In accordance with our conference theme `Literatures in English: New Frontiers in Research` these selected papers contain what the critics regard as most important new aspects in their own writing and the works of other scholars or writers, or new thematic parameters and methodological approaches with exemplary illustrations and interpretations. Discussions of work in progress and projects are also included. In addition, several creative writers deal with central aspects of their new works. The approaches reach from aesthetic and ethical, semiotic, intertextual and intermedial issues, on the one hand, to questions of identity, slavery and abolition, alterity and otherness as well as diaspora, transnationalism and transhumanism, on the other. Also, a great variety of aspects of writers and works from each of the continents are taken into consideration - with special emphasis on Ireland, Africa (Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa), Singapore and Australia but also with the inclusion of India, the Caribbean and the Philippines, Pacific Islands, New Zealand, and the USA. ····· 1036156487

Der Alltag lässt allerdings kaum Spielraum, um über sie nachzudenken. Aber die Literatur stimuliert ein solches Nachdenken, indem sie die komplexen Bereiche in ihrer besonderen Weise zur Darstellung bringt. Gedichte, Dramen, Erzähltexte konfrontieren uns mit ausgewählten Aspekten von Sprache, von Gabe und Geben, von Bösem und von Zeitlichkeit, den Spiegeln eines Spiegelkabinetts vergleichbar, die ihr Objekt in verschiedene Bilder zerlegen, einzelne Ausschnitte einrahmend isolieren, vergrößern, verzerren und vervielfachen oder in ungewohnte Verbindungen bringen.

His closely-observed Vormärz sketches and novels were also much read and reviewed by his contemporaries but have since been largely overlooked. They are the focus of this study. Lewald`s Jewish parentage and his wide experience in commerce and the theatre gave him insight into key preoccupations and conditions of his day, an insight acknowledged by contemporaries. Album aus Paris is a collection of sketches from the revered `Hauptstadt der Welt` Memoiren eines Banquiers is a satire that plays with the `rich Jewish banker` stereotype, and Theater-Roman exposes the `moderne Thorheiten und Schwächen` rampant `in der civilisirten Gesellschaft zu Mitte des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts`. ····· 1036147421

As the `writing back` paradigm of Postcolonial Studies illustrates, the concept of periphery still implies the existence of a center, which generates and sustains binary oppositions and hierarchical structures. In times of global migration and transnational mobility, the concept of periphery needs to be renegotiated in order to make sense of the newly emergent dichotomies in the linguistic, cultural and literary sphere ····· 1036147420

These characters are the Jew Isaac of York and his daughter Rebecca. This thesis investigates how Isaac and Rebecca of York fit in the cultural context of pre-World War Two Britain and how Scott s British readers handled Jewish characters portrayed as good and pure people. It attempts to establish whether Isaac and Rebecca of York had become anachronisms or if they represented a stable Jewish identity in pre-World War Two Britain. ····· 1036125889
····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Communicative Language Teaching(CLT), a language teaching approach of the Anglo-centric education system was introduced as an ELT approach in many countries where English is used as a second and foreign language. In the same vein, CLT was introduced in Bangladesh in 2001 from class vi to class xii with the aim of making the learners communicatively competent. In Bangladesh the traditional Grammar Translation Method had been in vogue for ages. But, when CLT was introduced in Bangladesh, the teachers came across a lot of problems in the way of its implementation. Here teachers are seen to have both right and wrong perceptions about CLT. Quite interestingly, though the wrong perceptions have a negative impact on their classroom practice, the right ones do not positively contribute to their execution of CLT. This book, therefore, looks into the practicing English teachers perceptions about CLT and the extent of their classroom practice of CLT. While doing it, the writer discovers mismatches between theory and practices and investigates why the mismatches between theory and practices happen. The writer also compares the Bangladeshi CLT scenario with other EFL contexts. ····· 1036125888
····· lezzter Preis 71.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The study addresses the use of psychological and mythological archetypes in the confessional poetry of Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) and Anne Sexton (1928-1974) as universal reference frameworks for the two poets most intimate confessions. It discusses the distinctive common features of confessional poetry in general, and focuses on the importance of psychological and mythological archetypes for a study of the poetry of Plath and Sexton in particular. It also sheds light on the significance of the psychological and mythological archetypes evoked in some of the most influential contributions of psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud (1856 1939) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961) for the study of the themes and imagery in the confessional poetry of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. The themes and imagery discussed are those related to the portrayal of disturbances in the father-daughter and mother-daughter relationships, the daughter s attitude to love, marriage, and married life in general, the profound feelings of guilt, alienation and vulnerability, and, finally, death and suicide. ····· 1036125844
····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The present study aimed to examine the influence of response format on the reliability and validity of the tests in question. To this end, the grammaticality judgment (GJ) test developed by Gass (1994) was selected as the instrument of the study which was manipulated in terms of the response format while the original items remained intact. Thus, a multiple-choice GJ test (MCGJT) was constructed to be compared with the traditional form, i.e., the dichotomous type (DGJT). In an interval of a month, the two tests were administered to a group of 110 engineering-major BS students. The results revealed that MCGJT was slightly more reliable (0.84 Cronbach s alpha) than the DGJT (0.83 Cronbach s alpha). With regard to validity, DGJT yielded slightly better validity indices in the first phase. Nevertheless, as a second phase to internal correlations, the correlations between the subsets and their totals were also explored this yielded almost similar results. ····· 1036125746
····· lezzter Preis 26.01€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This study compares the functions of abstract nouns previously defined as shell nouns (Schmid, 2000) to create cohesion in academic texts written by professional published authors and international graduate students. To make this comparison, two corpora of research papers, one by international graduate students and one by published authors, were collected from 6 different academic disciplines (Art and Design, Biology, Computer Science, Economics, Environmental Engineering, and Physics and Astronomy). The 35 shell nouns (Hinkel, 2004) were investigated in order to find out the frequency patterns in both corpora. The six shell nouns identified as the most common ones in the published corpus were qualitatively compared between published authors and international graduate students writings, and further analyzed for cohesive functions through different lexico-grammatical patterns in the two corpora. ····· 1036125602

The focus of the study is to investigate the multiple signs as means of communication employed in the movies carrying certain meanings for the audience. The study sheds lights on the issues relating to the misrepresentation of pure culture of Punjab on the big screens. The key theoretical concepts running through this work are those of misrepresentation and semiotics, both interconnected to each another and underline the fact that production of meaning is indeed a complex and an unconscious process. The tools of analysis employed in this investigation are primarily those of semiotic analysis and Critical theories to investigate into the apparent and hidden messages in the images. Different images from different movies have been selected for the analysis subjected to a detailed analysis using Pierce s Model for sign analysis. This is a multidisciplinary study that is going to venture into the domains of semiotics, cultural and media studies. The study is basically qualitative in nature. ····· 1036125502
····· lezzter Preis 76.90€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Gaps and silences are of lurid, floating character, always escaping cognitive approaches. By analysing the novels of Japanese-born British author Kazuo Ishiguro, readers play a jigsaw-activity filling in the informative gaps and deciphering auditory or spatial silences. How can these phenomenons be located To what extent is silence provocative by deflecting injurious details of the past and how does the writer`s artistic craft construct the layers of protagonists` distorted narration The main lines of inquiry are also to examine how protagonists are trapped by their first-person narration. In Kazuo Ishiguro`s early novels the provoking nature of gaps and silences will be explored by means of post-structuralist narrative discourse analysis and psychoanalytic literary criticism. ····· 1036125394
····· lezzter Preis 53.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The investigation of sentence structure and phrase structure in the poetic language of Chaucer (14th century ) and T.S. Eliot (20th century) shows how English language has developed through highlighting the major similarities and differences (the syntactic features) between the two forms of the language. It seeks mainly to investigate sentence and phrase structures in terms of types, functional constituent (structural aspects) , position , realization or form, as well as the stylistic variants : word order ( fronting , postponement , discontinuity or broken order), pleonasm, ellipsis, passivization and negation. The conclusion that can be drawn from the comparative analysis is that both forms of English, i.e., Chaucer s language and Eliot s language are often similar and sometimes different. One significant finding is that the stylistic variants utilized by both poets refer to the fact that their forms of language are similar to the spoken language and their syntax is flexible as they permit themselves considerable freedom in word order for different purposes. ····· 1036125234

This book explores English as second language (ESL) learners language learning processes on computers for developing listening and speaking skills. The author investigated the extent to which CALL may motivate learners to take charge of their own learning, associated with learner autonomy, and enhance their language learning. This book is based on a study at two UK university language centres, concerning students working individually on computers. The results suggest that both students and teachers found it beneficial to work on CALL programs for individual study to develop students listening and speaking skills for several key reasons, relating to Motivation . ····· 1036125135
····· lezzter Preis 53.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This work is an analysis of the fictional testimonies of some of Fred D Aguiar s outstanding novel protagonists who experienced the dreadful ordeal of the slave trade and who have undertaken to share the burden of recall. All the protagonists, whites, blacks, oppressors, and the subaltern convey their stories to the readers under the form of written accounts in prose, of poems, of thoughts, and of memories. I strive here to dissect the different traumata these characters have gone through and see which impact these have had on their identities, on the way they try to understand and fit into a world that often refuses to listen to their stories, and first and foremost on their narratives. For this purpose, and in a context where many accounts written by slaves are missing, my book backs up and highlights the similarities between fictional and non-fictional testimonial writings. As a response to these stories that went unrecorded, D Aguiar stipulates that contemporary literature about slavery can be regarded as a form of recuperation of these testimonies - History as roots for fiction, fiction as roots for History. ····· 1036124953

····· lezzter Preis 61.20€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Since the time of their formation, cities have had various great influences on the lives of human beings, necessitating certain ways of living and generating certain types of identity. In the postmodern city, as a result of the intricate interplay of power, capitalism, class struggle and the mass media, the phenomenon of mass consumption is transformed into a culture of consumption or the ideology of comsumerism. J. D. Salinger s The Catcher in the Rye is best read in such a context: the metropolis of New York in the tumultuous 1950s. The protagonist, Holden Caulfield, following his archetypal model, Ulysses, undertakes a journey of initiation in the heart of the city in order to become aware of the ambiguity of modern life and his own identity. Like many other novelistic heroes, Holden can be regarded as an incarnation of the character of the flâneur: a slow stroller of the streets and arcades who tried to read the cityscapes like a text and aimed at restoring legibility and clarity to them. But Holden, encountering the hyperreality of the metropolis, soon finds this goal unachievable and takes refuge in a more Existentialist thinking. ····· 1036124752
····· lezzter Preis 71.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This study of Paul Bowles s North African writings, especially those concerned with Morocco, investigates the possibilities and limitations that accrued from the writer`s carefully maintained reputation as both a traveler (a translator of the exotic ) and as exile. The book offsets claims (by critics by Paul Bowles himself) to a putative freedom from national, cultural, or religious loyalties and challenges his status as `expert` on Muslim North African countries. Bowles`s North African writings are embedded in an imperialist discursive tradition and the `authority` of his textual representations feeds on the tropes of detachment and `invisibility` empowered and fostered by the myth of exile and/or expatriation. Bowles became regarded as such an authority that his travel and journalistic writings were literally assigned as `missions.` The financial comfort allowed by publishers` advances did not go without its concomitant share of political `contamination,` especially since, at the time, the North African countries were engaged in their independence wars... ····· 1036124610

····· lezzter Preis 35.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray El presente libro pone de manifiesto la creciente presencia que el inglés está ejerciendo en la vida cotidiana de las sociedades europeas. Fenómenos como la globalización y el comercio internacional han hecho que el inglés se convierta en lengua franca o medio de comunicación a nivel mundial. El inglés se encuentra tan inmerso en las sociedades europeas que podríamos estar ante el surgimiento de cierto sentimiento de identidad con la lengua inglesa entre los ciudadanos europeos. Se trata de una influencia que incide en todos los niveles de las lenguas. Esta realidad me ha llevado a realizar un análisis de dicho impacto en el contexto de España. Con tal fin, he realizado diversos estudios que cubren diferentes entornos que constituyen los distintos capítulos de este libro. El primer capítulo estudia el campo de la publicidad. El segundo se centra en la traducción de los títulos de las películas estrenadas en cines españoles. El tercero analiza el uso de anglicismos en la prensa escrita cinematográfica. El cuarto capítulo investiga el contacto de los jóvenes españoles con el inglés. El último capítulo es un espacio reservado para emitir conclusiones y reflexionar sobre este tema. ····· 1036123169· 1 · ::::: · 10 ·· 11 ·· 12 ·· 13 ·· 14 ·· 15 ·· 16 · ::::: · 17 ·
