Free Download John and the Others: Jewish Relations, Christian Origins, and the Sectarian Hermeneutic by Andrew J. Byers
English | September 1, 2021 | ISBN: 1481315900 | True EPUB/PDF | 255 pages | 1.9/11.5 MB
The Johannine literature has inspired the Church’s christological creeds, prompted its Trinitarian formulations, and resourced its ecumenical and social movements. However, while confessional readers find in these texts a divine love for "the world," biblical scholars often detect a dangerous program of harsh polemics arrayed against "the other." In this frame, the Johannine writings are products of an anti-society with its own anti-language articulating a worldview that is anti-ecclesiastical, anti-hierarchical, and, more seriously, anti-Jewish and even anti-Semitic. In New Testament studies, the prefix "anti-" has become almost Johannine.

Free Download Public Relations und Kommunikationsmanagement: Eine medienwissenschaftliche Grundlegung By Lars Rademacher (auth.)
2009 | 229 Pages | ISBN: 3531162217 | PDF | 2 MB
Die vorliegende Studie will eine aktuelle Theorie der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit bzw. Public Relations vorlegen. Denn seit den 90er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts hat sich im Zuge eines sich ausdifferenzierenden Mediensystems mit dualem Rundfunk, konstant steigendem Öffentlichkeitsdruck und einem extrem angewachsenen Verantwortungs- und Ausdehnungsbereich der Massenmedien in der Gesellschaft ein Wandel der PR vollzogen, der in der deutschsprachigen PR-Theorie bislang nicht ausreichend reflektiert wird. In der Arbeit wird ein alternativer theoretischer Zugang zu Public Relations und Kommunikationsmanagement entworfen, der versucht, die bekannten disziplinären theoretischen Verortungen aus Sicht der Kommunikationswissenschaften und der Wirtschaftswissenschaften um eine eigenständige medienwissenschaftliche Perspektive zu erweitern.

Free Download Major Problems in American Foreign Relations, Volume 1 – 2: To 1920 (Major Problems in American History Series) by Dennis Merrill, Thomas Paterson

Designed to encourage critical thinking about history, this reader uses a carefully selected group of primary sources and analytical essays to allow users to test the interpretations of distinguished historians and draw their own conclusions about the history of American foreign policy. This book serves as an effective educational tool for courses on U.S. foreign policy, recent U.S. history, or 20th Century U.S. history. The Seventh Edition introduces new studies on Americas early foreign relations which seek to position the nations post 9-11 attitudes and behaviors within historical context. Some of the new literature spotlights cultural relations, and the ways in which culturally constructed attitudes about class, gender, race, and national identity have shaped Americans perceptions of the world and subsequently its overseas relationships.

2011 | 251 Pages | ISBN: 0415680875 | PDF | 33 MB
Both Turkey and Iran are large and important countries in the Middle East; how these two countries relate to each other is of crucial importance both for the region and for the wider world. This book explores the diplomatic, security and energy relations of these two middle power states since 1979, analysing the impact of religious, political and social transformation on their bilateral relationship. It considers the nature of Turkey-Iran relations in the context of middle power relations theory, and goes on to look at diplomatic crises that have taken place between Turkey and Iran since 1979. The author analyses Turkey and Iran’s security relations with the wider Middle East, including the Kurdish-Turkish War, the Kurdish-Iranian War and the Kurdish-Arab War, and their impact on regional politics.

Free Download Identity and Ethnic Relations in Southeast Asia: Racializing Chineseness By Chee Kiong Tong (auth.)
2011 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 904818908X | PDF | 3 MB
Modern nation states do not constitute closed entities. This is true especially in Southeast Asia, where Chinese migrants have continued to make their new homes over a long period of time, resulting in many different ethnic groups co-existing in new nation states. Focusing on the consequences of migration, and cultural contact between the various ethnic groups, this book describes and analyses the nature of ethnic identity and state of ethnic relations, both historically and in the present day, in multi-ethnic, pluralistic nation states in Southeast Asia. Drawing on extensive primary fieldwork in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Burma, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, the book examines the mediations, and transformation of ethnic identity and the social incorporation, tensions and conflicts and the construction of new social worlds resulting from cultural contact among different ethnic groups.

Free Download Human-Environment Relations: Transformative Values in Theory and Practice By Alan Holland (auth.), Emily Brady, Pauline Phemister (eds.)
2012 | 166 Pages | ISBN: 9400728247 | PDF | 2 MB
This fresh and innovative approach to human-environmental relations will revolutionise our understanding of the boundaries between ourselves and the environment we inhabit. The anthology is predicated on the notion that values shift back and forth between humans and the world around them in an ethical communicative zone called ‘value-space’. The contributors examine the transformative interplay between external environments and human values, and identify concrete ways in which these norms, residing in and derived from self and society, are projected onto the environment.
