Shared Heritage Revisited
This book explores the intersection of cultural heritage and nationality in societies that are characterized by national, multi-national, and post-national concepts.
Der Übergang von der Hochschule in die Berufstätigkeit in Japan
Der Übergang von Schule und Hochschule in den Beruf ist in Japan durch eine sehr kurze Dauer des Such- und Einstellungsprozessen gekennzeichnet sowie in der Regel durch eine Einstellungsentscheidung bereits mehrere Monate vor Schul- und Studienabschluß. Das Buch zeigt die Grundprinzipien der Übergangsverfahren sowie die vorherrschenden Einstellungskriterien. Es stellt heraus, daß das Verfahren ein hohes Maß der Belohnung des Bildungserfolgs und eine hohe Erwartungssicherheit für die Mehrheit der Absolventen fördert, aber das Bild der zukünftigen Tätigkeiten und Beschäftigungsbedingungen blaß läßt und unkonventionelle Lösungen benachteiligt. Die Autoren untersuchen, in welchem Maße sich in jüngerer Zeit Veränderungen durch den Wertewandel unter den Jugendlichen, die zunehmende Bedeutung fachlicher Spezialisierungen und durch die gewachsenen Beschäftigungsprobleme ergeben haben.
Engineering Labour
Engineers, often perceived as central agents of industrial capitalism, are thought to be the same in all capitalist societies, occupying roughly the same social status and performing similar functions in the capitalist enterprise. What the essays in this volume reveal, however, is that engineers are trained and organized quite distinctly in different national contexts. The book includes case studies of engineers in six major industrial economies: Japan, France, Germany, Sweden, Britain and the United States. Through a comparison of these six cases, the authors develop an approach to national differences which both retains the place of historical diversity in the experience of capitalism and accommodates the forces of convergence from increasing globalisation and economic integration. Contributions from: Boel Berner, Stephen Crawford, Kees Gispen, Kevin McCormick and Peter Whalley.
Natural Enemies
Called the "definitive history of the rivalry" by the Chicago Tribune, this updated history of the classic tilt is much more than just the recounting of old games. The fates of Michigan and Notre Dame have been intertwined since that cold November day in 1877 when the Wolverines literally taught the game of football to an eager group of Notre Dame students. Richly illustrated and now including games through the 2006 season, Natural Enemies weaves these two chronologies together to produce a college rivalry book like no other.
The Political Economy of Collective Skill Formation
The book examines skill systems and vocational training in a number of coordinated market economies, analysing historical origins and contemporary developments. As well as case studies on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark, it also contains comparative chapters exploring reactions to common challenges.

The Photomontages of Hannah Höch
Here, in the first comprehensive survey of her work by an American museum, authors Peter Boswell, Maria Makela, and Carolyn Lanchner survey the full scope of Hoch's half-century of experimentation in photomontage - from her politically charged early works and intimate psychological portraits of the Weimar era to her later forays into surrealism and abstraction.
German Colonialism, Visual Culture, and Modern Memory
Investigating visual communication and mass culture, print culture and suggestive racial politics, racial aesthetics, racial politics and early German film, racial continuity and German film, and photography, this title offers an evidence of a German society between 1884 and 1919 that produced vibrant and heterogeneous cultures of colonialism.
Satire and Society in Wilhelmine Germany
The reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II was a transitional period in German history when the traditions of the nineteenth century were coming into conflict with the emerging cultural, social, and political patterns of the twentieth century. The resulting tensions were clearly reflected in the period's leading satirical journals, Kladderadatsch and Simplicissimus. Both journals appealed to a diverse middle-class readership and attracted widespread attention through their flamboyant and sometimes scurrilous attacks on authority. Their satire, expressed through cartoons, anecdotes, verse, and fiction, ranged across nearly every aspect of German life and employed the talents of some of the period's most ...
