Der Beginn der kulinarischen Moderne
No full textSeit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert etablierte sich in Metropolen wie Paris, Wien, London und St. Petersburg sowie in Residenzstädten wie Dresden eine neue Kochweise, die bis heute die exquisite Küche Europas prägt. Bereits 1822 griff der Kunsthistoriker und Literat Carl Friedrich von Rumohr (1785-1843) diesen Trend auf und publizierte mit seinem »Geist der Kochkunst« die erste systematische Kochkunsttheorie. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes diskutieren das gastrosophische Werk und seinen Autor im Kontext der Ernährungsgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Dabei bieten sie einen interdisziplinären Überblick zur Produktion von Nahrungs- und Genussmitteln, zur Alltagskost, zur Geschichte des Weins sowie zur exquisiten Kochkunst und Tafelkultur am Beginn der kulinarischen Moderne

Internationalising Teacher Education
No full textStudents of teacher education need to be prepared for increasingly diverse classrooms. Internationalising their studies is one way to make them aware of the many dimensions of diversity and prepare them for their future lives in the classroom. It is important to expose them to international learning opportunities, to enable mobility abroad and implement international modules into their studies. The DAAD project to internationalise teacher education is conducted with partner universities worldwide. In this volume, members from participating universities present conceptual approaches to the internationalisation of teacher education, examples of good practice as well as results from their research. These shall encourage everyone working in teacher education to shape flexible mobility paths within the student journey
Sustainable Digital Finance
No full textDigital innovation is significantly reshaping the financial services landscape, pioneering new avenues for sustainable access, distribution, and management of financial resources. A myriad of real-world applications, such as enabling digital supply chain finance across agricultural and fashion value chains, and leveraging digital currencies to fuel smart meters in schools in developing nations, are continually emerging. Moreover, the advent of digital investment marketplaces, crowdfunding platforms, token-based financing, new payment infrastructures, digital wallets for waste management, and blockchain-based autonomous decentralized organizations, among others, underline the expansive and inclusive capabilities of digital finance. The potential of digital innovation extends far beyond our current imaginings. In this vein, this book seeks to present visionary, yet practical, perspectives that employ innovative technologies to address overarching sustainability challenges. This is an open access book
Global Maritime Military Strategy, 1980–2023
No full textThis open access book is an ambitious study about how to use comparative methods to analyze contemporary military strategy in the maritime domain. Based on the three strategic concepts of area denial, sea control and power projection, this book analyzes the intensive conventional capabilities of six major powers’ military strategies. These include the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan, the so-called ‘sea powers,’ and Russia, China and India, which are usually recognized as ‘land-powers.’Through the analysis, this book aims to accomplish the following three main objectives: 1. To reconsider the basic concepts of maritime military strategic studies, which have not changed for almost one hundred years, and to propose a new analytical framework based on the following three elements—as well as verifying the appropriateness of this framework. a. The capability with which a country can deny military threat against its territory through the maritime domain within the geographic theater, i.e., roughly one thousand to two thousand kilometers from its coastline (area denial). b. The capability with which a country can obtain military superiority or disrupt an adversary’s military superiority in the open ocean (sea control). c. The capability with which a country can project military power from the maritime domain to other countries’ territories, accomplishing military strategic objectives (power projection). 2. To verify the six major powers’ long-term military strategic objectives, for example, whether the country aims to enhance its power in the maritime domain, or to project its military power to the other countries/areas beyond the maritime domain; to do this by analyzing each country’s force building directions. In addition, this book assesses each country’s capability for high-intensive conflict and unravels each security/military strategic objectives.3. By examining the strategic objectives of major powers, this book may contribute to establishing Japan’s future defense strategy

Praxis de la enseñanza del proyecto
No full textPublishedEn un momento en el que en gran parte de disciplinas se promueve el aprendizaje basado en proyectos, este libro ofrece como ejemplo una praxis pedagógica de una asignatura destinada específicamente a proyectar, el Taller de Proyectos (Design Studio). Es por ello que la experiencia de este libro es extrapolable a gran parte de contextos pedagógicos, a pesar de que su contenido proviene del planteamiento diseñado para un ámbito específico (Proyectos de Diseño de Interior, en IDarte). Dentro de dicho ámbito, este libro trata de superar los problemas endémicos que han afectado históricamente a la asignatura. Para ello, integra la literatura crítica que ya existe y abunda; pero, sobre todo, el libro trata de ofrecer una alternativa propositiva, positiva y, fundamentalmente, creativa. De este modo, a partir de la superación de los límites constitutivos de una asignatura muy singular, este libro ofrece una propuesta inspiradora que puede ser trasladable a cualquier disciplina
Chapter 5 A Motor-Flight through North Africa
No full textEdith Wharton was not only the author of novels and short stories but also of drama, poetry, autobiography, interior decoration, and travel writing. This study focuses on Wharton’s symbolic representations of architecture in her travel writings. It shows how a network of allusions to travel writing and art history books influenced Wharton’s representations of architectural and natural spaces. The book demonstrates Wharton’s complex relationship to works of art historians (John Ruskin, Émile Mâle, Arthur C. Porter) and travel authors (Wolfgang Goethe, Henry Adams, Henry James) in the trajectory of her travel writing. Kovács surveys how the acknowledgment of Wharton’s sources sheds light both on the author’s model of aesthetic understanding and scenic architectural descriptions, and how the shock of the Great War changed Wharton’s travel destinations but not her symbolic view of architecture as a mediator of things past. Wharton’s symbolic representations of architecture provide a new key to her travel writings
Political Instability in Guinea-Bissau
No full textHow can we make sense of the persistent political instability in Guinea-Bissau, a small country that has hosted extensive international interventions and made world news headlines over several decades? This book tackles this question, arguing for the need to understand politics in Guinea-Bissau as intricately linked to and deeply embedded in transnational, regional and trans-regional dynamics.
Taking a multidimensional approach, the book brings together international scholars who have studied politics in Guinea-Bissau and Africa for many years, at different levels and from diverse perspectives. Together, the contributors provide an up-to-date analysis of crucial actors and processes, whilst also putting them in historical perspective. The volume connects the study of politics in Guinea-Bissau to a range of empirical phenomena and theoretical debates that have wider relevance far beyond its borders. In this way, it enables a better understanding of regional and international politics, demonstrating how apparently marginal cases are not marginal at all, but are actively entangled in broader multi-dimensional politics.
With important new perspectives and insights both on Guinea-Bissau, and wider regional dynamics, this book will be an important read for researchers and policy makers involved in African politics and security issues
