Jugendsoziologie: Eine Einführung in Theorien, Konzepte und ausgewählte Forschungsergebnisse
by Ullrich Bauer Albert ScherrDie bereits in zehnter Auflage erscheinende Einführung vermittelt in einer verständlichen, für Studium und Lehre geeigneten Form die wichtigsten Theorien und Konzepte der soziologischen Jugendforschung. Eingegangen wird auch auf zentrale Befunde der empirischen Forschung zur Lebenssituation Jugendlicher. Leitend für die Darstellung ist das Interesse aufzuzeigen, dass Jugend keine unveränderliche Naturtatsache, sondern ein gesellschaftliches Phänomen ist. Damit wird es erforderlich, historisch veränderliche, sozial ungleiche, geschlechtsbezogen diverse und soziokulturell vielfältige Jugenden in den Blick zu nehmen. Dargestellt werden die gesellschaftlichen Ursachen dessen, was als typisch für die Lebensphase Jugend sowie als jugendtypische Probleme angenommen wird. Ergänzend wird auf ausgewählte Aspekte der psychologischen und pädagogischen Jugendforschung eingegangen. Für die vorliegende Neuauflage wurde eine umfassende Überarbeitung und Aktualisierung vorgenommen.
Jugendszenen als geschlechtsbezogene Erfahrungsräume: Eine rekonstruktiv-vergleichende Analyse jugendkultureller Handlungspraxen (Studien zur Kindheits- und Jugendforschung #12)
by Tina-Berith SchraderJugendszenen wie Gothic und Metal sind, wie auch andere jugendkulturelle Phänomene, Räume, in denen Geschlechterrollen verhandelt, neu gestaltet oder reproduziert werden. Tina-Berith Schrader untersucht in diesem Buch mithilfe der dokumentarischen Methode anhand von Gruppendiskussionen auf Musikfestivals, wie Geschlecht in diesen Szenen erlebt und ausgehandelt wird und welche Auswirkungen dies auf Partizipation, Praktiken und Stile hat. Dabei wird ein breites Spektrum theoretischer Ansätze aus der Geschlechter- und Jugendkulturforschung berücksichtigt. Die Forschungsergebnisse beleuchten vier zentrale Kontexte, darunter die Szene als alternativer sozialer Raum und das Musikfestival als Ort geschlechtsspezifischer Erfahrungen. Ergänzt wird dies durch eine Typologie, die Szenenspezifik und gemeinsame Erfahrungsräume sichtbar macht.

Julian of Norwich: Mystic or Visionary? (Routledge Studies in Medieval Religion and Culture)
by Kevin MagillJulian of Norwich was a fourteenth-century woman who at the age of thirty had a series of vivid visions centred around the crucified Christ. Twenty years later, while living as an anchoress in a church, she is believed to have set out these visions in a text called the Showing of Love. Going against the current trend to place Julian in the category of mystic - a classification which defines her visions as deeply private, psychological events - this book sets Julian’s thinking in the context of a visionary project used to instruct the Christian community. Drawing on recent developments in philosophy that debate the objectivity and rationality of vision and perception, Kevin J. Magill gives full attention to the depth and richness of the visual language and modes of perception in the Showing of Love. In particular, the book focuses on the ways in which Julian presented her vision to the Christian society around her, demonstrating the educative potential of interaction between the ‘isolated’ anchoress and the wider community. Challenging Julian’s identification as a mystic and solitary female writer, this book argues that Julian engaged in a variety of educative methods – oral, visual, conversational, mnemonic, alliterative – that extend the usefulness of her text.

Jump-Starting Boys
by Pam Withers Dr John Duffy Cynthia GillEveryone knows that boys are falling behind in education. Largely left out of the discussion are parents of boys, who are most aware that their bright, eager sons hit an invisible wall somewhere near fourth grade, after which they become disengaged, discouraged, and disaffected. There are dozens of books on underachieving boys, but most parents brave enough to lift one off the shelf are instantly intimidated by the footnotes, graphs, case studies, and academic-speak addressed almost entirely to educators. What about the average guilt-ridden, frustrated mother or father of an underachieving boy? Jump-Starting Boys is the first book on the market that empowers parents, helping them reclaim the duties and rewards of raising their children and navigate the influences of school and media. Filled with reassurance and support, the authors turn fear and guilt into can-do confidence. Through easy tips and action list sidebars, this is the most practical, readable book on the topic.

Jumping Computation: Updating Automata and Grammars for Discontinuous Information Processing
by Alexander Meduna Zbyněk KřivkaJumping Computation: Updating Automata and Grammars for Discontinuous Information Processing is primarily a theoretically oriented treatment of jumping automata and grammars, covering all essential theoretical topics concerning them, including their power, properties, and transformations. From a practical viewpoint, it describes various concepts, methods, algorithms, techniques, case studies and applications based upon these automata and grammars. In today’s computerized world, the scientific development and study of computation, referred to as the theory of computation, plays a crucial role. One important branch, language theory, investigates how to define and study languages and their models, which formalize algorithms according to which their computation is executed. These language-defining models are classified into two basic categories: automata, which define languages by recognizing their words, and grammars, which generate them. Introduced many decades ago, these rules reflect classical sequential computation. However, today’s computational methods frequently process information in a fundamentally different way, frequently “jumping” over large portions of the information as a whole. This book adapts classical models to formalize and study this kind of computation properly. Simply put, during their language-defining process, these adapted versions, called jumping automata and grammars, jump across the words they work on. The book selects important models and summarizes key results about them in a compact and uniform way. It relates each model to a particular form of modern computation, such as sequential, semi-parallel and totally parallel computation, and explains how the model in question properly reflects and formalizes the corresponding form of computation, thus allowing us to obtain a systematized body of mathematically precise knowledge concerning the jumping computation. The book pays a special attention to power, closure properties, and transformations, and also describes many algorithms that modify jumping grammars and automata so they satisfy some prescribed properties without changing the defined language. The book will be of great interest to anyone researching the theory of computation across the fields of computer science, mathematics, engineering, logic and linguistics.
