After Pia's grandmother dies in a freak accident, the neighbors in her little German hometown of Bad M nstereifel glance at Pia with wary eyes. But then something else captures the community's attention: the vanishing of Katharina Linden. Katharina was last seen at a parade, dressed as Snow White. Then, like a character in a Grimm's fairy tale, she disappeared. Ten-year-old Pia and her only friend, the unpopular StinkStefan, suspect that Katharina has been spirited away by the supernatural. Their investigation is inspired by such local legends as that of Unshockable Hans, visited by witches in the form of cats, or of the knight whose son is doomed to hunt forever. Then another girl vanishes, and Pia is plunged into a new and unnerving place, one far away from fairy tales--and perilously close to adulthood.

The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion

The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion

Katerina Linos

Oxford University Press Inc
2013
sidottu
Why do law reforms spread around the world in waves? In the dominant account of diffusion through technocracy, international networks of elites develop orthodox policy solutions and transplant these across countries without regard for the wishes of ordinary citizens. But this account overlooks a critical factor: in democracies, reforms must win the support of politicians, voters, and interest groups. This book claims that laws spread across countries in very public and politicized ways, and develops a theory of diffusion through democracy. I argue that politicians choose to follow certain international models to win domestic elections, and to persuade skeptical voters that their ideas are not radical, ill-thought-out experiments, but mainstream, tried-and-true solutions. This book shows how international models generated domestic support for health, family, and employment law reforms across rich democracies. Information that international organizations have endorsed certain reforms or that foreign countries have adopted them is valuable to voters. Public opinion experiments show that even Americans respond positively to this information. Case studies of election campaigns and legislative debates demonstrate that politicians with diverse ideologies reference international models strategically, and focus on the few international organizations and countries familiar to voters. Data on policy adoption from many rich democracies document that governments follow international organization templates and imitate the policy choices of countries heavily covered in national media and familiar to voters. Benchmarks from Abroad provides a direct defense to a major criticism international organizations and networks face: that they conflict with domestic democracy. Even presumptively weak international efforts, such as the development of soft law and best practices, can increase voter support for major reforms. Instead, international and European Union negotiations to establish binding legal obligations can be costly and protracted, resulting in "too little, too late. " However, the book also explains how electoral calculations do not favor the spread of successful policies that happen to originate in small and remote states.

What I Want You to See

What I Want You to See

LITTLE, BROWN COMPANY
2022
pokkari
Winning a scholarship to California's most prestigious art school seems like a fairy tale ending to Sabine Reye's awful senior year. After losing both her mother and her home, Sabine longs for a place where she belongs. But the cutthroat world of visual arts is nothing like what Sabine had imagined. Colin Krell, the renowned faculty member whom she had hoped would mentor her, seems to take merciless delight in tearing down her best work-and warns her that she'll lose the merit-based award if she doesn't improve.Desperate and humiliated, Sabine doesn't know where to turn. Then she meets Adam, a grad student who understands better than anyone the pressures of art school. He even helps Sabine get insight on Krell by showing her the modern master's work in progress, a portrait that's sold for a million dollars sight unseen.Sabine is enthralled by the portrait; within those swirling, colorful layers of paint is the key to winning her inscrutable teacher's approval. Krell did advise her to improve her craft by copying a painting she connects with...but what would he think of Sabine secretly painting her own version of his masterpiece? And what should she do when she accidentally becomes party to a crime so well-plotted that no one knows about it but her?Complex and utterly original, What I Want You to See is a gripping tale of deception, attraction, and moral ambiguity.

By: Catherine L. Knorr, Pub. 1954, reprinted 2022, 120 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-253-8.Culpeper County was created from the northern part of Orange County in 1749. Culpeper itself gave birth to two new counties: 1793 to Madison and 1833 to Rappahannock. Before the Revolutionary War, the ministers were compelled by law to keep a record of the lists of baptisms and marriages but after the Revolution, every marriage had to be reported to the Clerk of Court. These are called Ministers' Returns. Since the Culpeper marriage bonds do not exist, the ministers' returns are all we have. Then in 1802, a blow fell. All the parish registers were seized as property of the State and many were lost in the court houses. Culpeper County held its first court in 1749 but due to its first court minute book being lost, these marriages are all we have from this early period.

By: Catherine Lindsay Knorr, Pub. 1957, Reprinted 2013, 142 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-259-7.Halifax County was formed in 1752 from Lunenburg County. The territory at this time included present Pittsylvania, Henry, and Patrick Counties. It is surrounded by Mecklenburg, Charlotte, Campbell, Pittsylvania Counties and the state of North Carolina. This whole area of southside Virginia is one of the most important areas of the state during this pre-1800 time period because of the major migration across this portion of Virginia into North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as into other states to the West.

Film Bodies

Film Bodies

Katharina Lindner

Bloomsbury Academic
2022
nidottu
In Film Bodies, Katharina Lindner took film studies into a new direction, integrating queer and feminist theory with film phenomenology. Her groundbreaking book explores the presence of women's bodies in movement in a range of genres, including the dance film, the sports film and queer cinema, providing detailed textural analyses of Black Swan (2010), The Tango Lesson (1997), 2 Seconds (1998), Offside (2006), Tomboy (2011), and Girlhood (2014), and discussing the queer feminist encounters they give rise to. Published after Lindner's untimely death in 2019, this new paperback edition of Film Bodies includes a special foreword by Jenny Chamarette, exploring the embodied, time travelling nature of Lindner's work. "Trailing gloriously in the wind behind Film Bodies are all the beginnings, the experiences that shape it, the visceral connections that give the book a bodymind from which to speak."

Variation im städtischen Raum

Variation im städtischen Raum

Katharina Link

De Gruyter
2019
sidottu
Die zona bonaerense ist eine der wenigen Regionen innerhalb der spanischsprachigen Welt, in denen die Entwicklung der Palatale zur Koexistenz einer stimmhaften und stimmlosen präpalatalen Lautvariante geführt hat und dem Sprachraum damit aus phonetischer Sicht eine Sonderstellung zukommen lässt. Dies ist zwar ein bekanntes und bereits vielfach abgehandeltes Thema, das jedoch nichts an Aktualität eingebüßt hat: Es handelt sich um ein höchst dynamisches Phänomen, das nicht nur mit Blick auf Argentinien insgesamt auf neue Regionen übergreift, sondern das sich vor allem in Wechselwirkung mit einem von Mobilität geprägten Sprachraum wie der Stadt nach wie vor im Wandel befindet. Inwieweit lassen sich innerhalb einer Metropole aber tatsächlich räumlich gebundene Unterschiede in der Präsenz einzelner lautlicher Varianten ausmachen? Die vorliegende Studie geht dieser Fragestellung nach und fokussiert aus diasystematischer Perspektive die synchrone Distribution von ?eísmo und ?eísmo in der argentinischen Hauptstadt Buenos Aires. Dabei liegt ihr eine stadtdialektologisch und soziolinguistisch ausgerichtete empirische Untersuchung zu Grunde, die die lautlichen Realisierungen verschiedener Sprechergruppen, welche als barrio-charakteristische Größe jeweils ein spezifisches Fragment des jeweiligen Stadtteillebens repräsentieren, in den Blick nimmt. Die Ergebnisse werden kartographisch aufbereitet und vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund bisheriger und teils kontrovers diskutierter Forschungsbeiträge wissenschaftsgeschichtlich eingebettet und bewertet. Variation wird dabei sowohl mit gruppen- und ortsspezifischen Faktoren in Verbindung gebracht als auch unter Berücksichtigung möglicher pragmatischer Auslösestrukturen erörtert.
