The Politics of Writing

By: Romy Clark,Roz Ivanic

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Writing matters: it plays a key role in the circulation of ideas in society and has a direct impact on the development of democracy. But only a few get to do the kind of writing that most influence this development. The Politics of Writing examines writing as a social practice. The authors draw on critical linguistics, cultural studies and literacy studies, as they explore and analyse: * the social context in which writing is embedded * the processes and practices of writing * the purposes of writing * the reader-writer relationship * issues of writer identity. They challenge current notions of 'correctness' and argue for a more democratic pedagogy as part of the answer to the inequitable distribution of the right to write.

Translation, Poetics, and the Stage

Six French Hamlets

By: Romy Heylen

This book establishes an analytical model for the description of existing translations in their historical context within a framework suggested by systemic concepts of literature. It argues against mainstream 20th-century translation theory and, by proposing a socio-cultural model of translation, takes into account how a translation functions in the receiving culture. The case studies of successive translations of "Hamlet" in France from the eighteenth century neoclassical version of Jean-Francois Ducis to the 20th-century Lacanian, post-structuralist stage production of Daniel Mesguich show the translator at work. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the changing theatrical and literary norms to which translators through the ages have been bound by the expectations both of their audiences and the literary establishment.

Environmental Performance in Democracies and Autocracies

Democratic Qualities and Environmental Protection

By: Romy Escher,Melanie Walter-Rogg

There are considerable differences in environmental performance and outcomes across both democracies and autocracies, but there is little understanding of how levels of democracy and autocracy influence environmental performance. This book examines whether analysing the effects of individual democratic features separately can contribute to a better understanding of cross-national variance in environmental performance. The authors show that levels of social equality in particular, as well as the strength of local and regional democracy, contribute significantly to explaining cross-national variation in environmental performance. On the other hand, a high level of political corruption affects a country’s ability to adopt and implement environmental policies effectively. In exploring the inter-relationship between democratic qualities, political corruption, and environmental performance, this book presents policymakers and political theorists with a clear picture of which aspects of democratic societies are most conducive to producing a better environment.

An Adventure in the Library…

By: Romy Berntsen

Lilli lives in a very special place; she lives in a library… but Lilli's library isn't an ordinary library because she lives in one of the books and at night when everyone has gone home Lilli comes out to play! Lilli loves night time when she jumps out of the book to explore. She jumps from book to book reading about all the wonderful places in the world and loves the colourful pictures and illustrations. But what’s this? Someone else is in the library tonight, a little boy and he is crying. His name is Aram and he tells Lilli he has fallen from the book where he lives and can’t find his way home. He lives in a book with big mountains and beautiful lakes but can’t remember its name. Lilli leads Aram to a section of the library where there are hundreds of books. "Oh dear," she says, "this might take all night." "We’ll never find it," says Aram as he wipes a tear from his eye. "Yes we will," says Lilli as she takes him by the hand and tells him it will be the greatest adventure he has ever had. Will they find his book before daybreak or will the owners of the library find out their amazing secret? This wonderful story is beautifully illustrated by Romy Berntsen and is sure to delight children and parents alike.

Modernity and Nostalgia

Art and Politics in France Between the Wars

By: Romy Golan

Golan argues that reactionary issues such as anti-urbanism, the return to the soil, regionalism, corporatism, xenophobia, and doubts about the new technology became central to cultural and art-historical discourse. Focusing on the overlap of avant-garde and middle-of-the-road production, she investigates the import of these issues not only in, painting, sculpture, and architecture (concentrating on the work of Leger, Picasso, Le Corbusier, Ozenfant, Derain, the Surrealists, and the so-called naifs), but also in the decorative arts, in the spectacle of world and colonial fairs, and in literature. Throughout she finds evidence that artists turned from the aesthetics of the machine age toward a more organic, naturalistic art. This leads her to ask whether the famous and momentous shift of the avant-garde from Paris to New York in 1939 did not, in fact, begin two decades earlier, in 1918.

Making Cupcakes with LOLA

By: Romy Lewis,Victoria Jossel

LOLA's is London's most fashionable cupcake bakery. Victoria Jossel and Romy Lewis, the creators of the company, spent weeks testing cupcake recipes and experimenting with piping bags and sugar sprinkles to create the most beautiful and delicious cupcakes. At the end of 2006, LOLA's was born and their bakers have been baking and decorating fresh batches of simple, sophisticated, handcrafted cupcakes every day since then. Now you too can make cupcakes with LOLA with this irresistible cookbook. There are more than 60 mouth-watering recipes for everything from the LOLA signature flavours (including Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Red Velvet, Lemon and Rocky Road) to deliciously original ideas like Chocolate Sundae, Toffee Apple, Salted Caramel, Cappuccino Wafer, Mint Hot Chocolate and Mango Berry Swirl. Romy Lewis and Victoria Jossel grew up in the same area of London when their families moved from South Africa in the early '90s. LOLA's was set up in 2006 by Victoria (a former derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs) and Romy (a journalist), both in their twenties. Their online store is the busiest part of their business, and they have a flagship store in Mayfair and concessions in Selfridges, Topshop and Harrods.

The impact of cultural differences on cross-border mergers at the example of DaimlerChrysler

By: Romy Trajanov

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: In the last decade many companies on a global basis are going international in order to become global players. The opening of global markets (e.g. the establishment of the Single European Market and the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992) was a key driver for international mergers and acquisitions. Companies form international mergers and acquisitions to achieve the competitive position of global advantage and local responsiveness as well as to grow rapidly. Mergers create synergies for all involved companies as various tangible and intangible assets will be combined whose value is greater than the sum of their individual worth. Additional factors of production offering competitive advantage can be found. Employees play an essential role for the success of merging companies, therefore it is crucial already to deal with cultural aspects as a component of the due diligence process. This creates an understanding of different national and organizational cultures for all involved cross-border merging companies. The national culture is an integral part of the overall corporate culture of the firm, which is applicable for all merging partners. The merger of DaimlerChrysler in 1998 which created one of the biggest car companies is used as an example in this study to underline cultural implications within the merging process of global players. Cultural difficulties occurred between the more easy-going and more flexible style of Chrysler and the well structured and bureaucratic style of Daimler-Benz. This was the basis of different working styles, decision making and communication processes within the company. This incompatibility of the two different cultural aspects was realized too late and became very difficult to be overcome. That is why at the end it was no merger of equals but one company dominating over the other. The complexity of the DaimlerChrysler merger shows the different aspects of cultural difference awareness. The reader of this study will get a deeper insight into the issues of culture and its importance to be considered in cross-border merger processes. In this context further different national culture models will be analysed as well as the cultural implementation into organisations in general. Furthermore after presenting the merger process of DaimlerChrysler and its reasons, failures in management and cultural implementation by both companies will be discovered which caused the cultural [...]

L2 Spoken Discourse

Linguistic Features and Analyses

By: Romy Ghanem,Okim Kang,Maria Kostromitina

This book integrates theoretical and practical perspectives on computer-assisted analysis of spoken discourse, reflecting recent important developments in speech analysis for language teaching and assessment. Bringing together into one volume the methods and approaches for analysis of speech properties and spoken discourse, Ghanem, Kang, and Kostromitina illustrate the importance of adaptive learning technologies in analyzing speech. The book offers a comprehensive go-to resource for the description of various features in second language (L2) spoken discourse as well as a guide for ways in which they can be extracted and analyzed. The text aims to accomplish its goal by providing an overview of linguistic features found in L2 acquisition, clarifying evidence-based constructs in L2 speech, and applying various analyses to suggestions for practice. This book brings together various strands of research and application with an emphasis on analysis of speech properties, which can be a gate-keeping function of speech. In particular, its innovative approach lies with the introduction of segmental, suprasegmental, lexico-grammatical, and pragmatic features in the analysis of L2 speech. This approach offers a more comprehensive view of L2 spoken discourse which can be extremely beneficial for L2 research and pedagogy. Covering the speech of both native and non-native speakers, but with particular relevance for second language acquisition, this book is essential reading for graduate students, teachers, and researchers in applied linguistics, TESOL, and other speech-science related fields.

Key International Guidance Documents and Case Studies

By: Robin Oakley,Romy Danflous,European Dialogue (Organization),Police and Human Rights 1997-2000 Programme (Council of Europe)

The aim of this guidebook is to help police services to work effectively in multi-ethnic environments. It consists of a compilation of reference documents setting out Council of Europe and other international standards, together with guidance on good practice with regard to policing of ethnic minority communities. Topics covered include recruitment from minorities, tackling hate crime, avoiding ethnic profiling, police training and working in partnership with minorities and NGOs. This publication was originally prepared to support the work of the Council of Europe's Police and Human Rights Programme in the Russian Federation, and it includes some material and practical examples relating specifically to this country. As similar challenges are faced by police in most countries of Europe, readers will find not only the main documents but also the Russian examples useful as they develop solutions that are appropriate to their own particular states.

Flashback, Eclipse

The Political Imaginary of Italian Art in the 1960s

By: Romy Golan

From a leading art historian, a provocative exploration of the intersection of art, politics, and history in 1960s Italy Flashback, Eclipse is a groundbreaking study of 1960s Italian art and its troubled but also resourceful relation to the history and politics of the first part of the twentieth century and the aftermath of World War II. Most analyses have treated the 1960s in Italy as the decade of “presentism” par excellence, a political decade but one liberated from history. Romy Golan, however, makes the counterargument that 1960s Italian artists did not forget Italian and European history but rather reimagined it in oblique form. Her book identifies and explores this imaginary through two forms of nonlinear and decidedly nonpresentist forms of temporality—the flashback and the eclipse. In view of the photographic and filmic nature of these two concepts, the book’s analysis is largely mediated by black-and-white images culled from art, design, and architecture magazines, photo books, film stills, and exhibition documentation. The book begins in Turin with Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Mirror Paintings; moves on to Campo urbano, a one-day event in the city of Como; and ends with the Vitalità del Negativo exhibition in Rome. What is being recalled and at other moments occluded are not only episodes of Italian nationalism and Fascism but also various liberatory moments of political and cultural resistance. The book’s main protagonists are, in order of appearance, artists Michelangelo Pistoletto and Giosetta Fioroni, photographer Ugo Mulas, Ettore Sottsass (as critic rather than designer), graphic designer Bruno Munari, curators Luciano Caramel and Achille Bonito Oliva, architect Piero Sartogo, Carla Lonzi (as artist as much as critic), filmmakers Michelangelo Antonioni and Bernardo Bertolucci, and, in flashback among the departed, painter Felice Casorati, writer Massimo Bontempelli, art historian Aby Warburg, architect Giuseppe Terragni, and Renaissance friar-philosopher-mathematician Giordano Bruno (as patron saint of the sixty-eighters).
