Abstract: Beiträge teilweise englisch, teilweise deutsch, teilweise italienisch. Since 1992, the European Academy Bozen/ Bolzano (EURAC) has conducted applied research and continuing education. The core activities of the EURAC are in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Minorities and Autonomies, Sustainable Development, Management and Corporate Culture and Life Sciences. The main emphasis of the research focuses on South Tyrolean as well as European interests. Because of its geographical location, South Tyrol is an interface between three different language groups and cultures. Through its work, the EURAC is building bridges between the German and Italian language groups and is also connecting different disciplines, sciences and societies as well as theory and practice.

Abstract: Value is arguably one of the key concepts of the globalized world. This title features essays on classical philosophical sources on value, and, on the other, readings that show how the concept of value shapes our manner of thinking in pivotal issues and domains of economics, culture, and knowledge. Value is arguably one of the key concepts of the globalized world. In this world, to be is to be or have a value, while all thinking and implementing has the form of valuing and evaluating. Thanks to their operative expediency, both the concept of value and thinking through values appear as sufficient and such as not to need any interrogation as to their provenance and implications. The essays of this volume, on the other hand, provide insights precisely in these aspects by presenting, on the one hand, classical philosophical sources on value, and, on the other, readings that show how the concept of value shapes our manner of thinking in pivotal issues and domains of economics, culture, and knowledge. Ivo De Gennaro is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. He has published Logos Heidegger lies Heraklit (2001), Dasein, Da-sein. Tradurre la parola del pensiero (with G. Zaccaria, 2007) and The Weirdness of Being (2011).

Abstract: Dieses erste Buch von Gilbert & George erschien 1971 in einer kleinen Auflage im Verlag der Gebrüder König, Köln / New York. Das lange Zeit vergriffene Buch wurde nun endlich wieder aufgelegt. In dem kurzen Vorwort wird es als eine zeitgenössische Romanskulptur beschrieben. Für das Künstlerpaar ist es Manifest oder eine Proklamation ihrer Sicht auf das Lebens und die Kunst in Form poetischer Texte und Bilder.Das Buch gliedert sich in drei Kapitel mit einer Abfolge von Doppelseiten, auf denen jeweils die typografisch elegant gesetzten Texte mit einem einzigen Bild kombiniert werden, die sich so einander ergänzen und prägen.Wie bei der Erstausgabe fällt auch bei dieser Ausgabe von Side by Side der von Hand marmorierte Umschlag ins Auge, der jedes Exemplar zu einem künstlerischen Unikat macht.

Abstract: Schwarzweiß-Bilder, in denen er Kontraste herausarbeitet wie mit dem Seziermesser: Vom Grashalm im See über kahle Lärchenwälder und Lawinenzäune im Schnee bis hin zu Wolkenspielen an der Tofana. Stets sind Kontrast und Licht die wichtigsten Stellschrauben bei der Bildgestaltung. Mathis’ Fotos sind solche, die umso stärker wirken, je länger man sie anschaut. Freilich vermarkten Fotografen in Bildbänden häufig vor allem sich selbst. Es ist kaum vorstellbar, diese Bilder der mörderisch kurzen Halbwertszeit digitaler Medien auszusetzen. So gesehen ist Visual Dualism – Dolomites die logische Konsequenz, diese großartigen Fotos der Dolomiten angemessen zu präsentieren. (alpin.de)

Abstract: Walter Niedermayr (geb. 1952) hat seit Ende der 1980er-Jahre kontinuierlich in hochalpinen Regionen weltweit gearbeitet und sich mit der Präsenz und den Eingriffen des Menschen in diesen sensiblen Landschaften auseinandergesetzt. Im Winter 2009 wurde er nach Aspen, Colorado, eingeladen, und dort entstand eine weitere Serie seiner Werkgruppe Alpine Landschaften. In 42 mehrteiligen Foto- und Videoarbeiten zeigt der Künstler die winterliche Landschaft um den Skiort Aspen, die durch die Erschließung für den höchst anspruchsvollen Tourismus geprägt und gekennzeichnet ist: In seinen meisterhaft fotografierten Bildserien bleibt Niedermayr ein präziser und kritischer Beobachter der Veränderung und Anpassung von Landschaft durch den Homo touristicus. Die Publikation schließt an die raumbezogenen Arbeiten an, die im Zusammenhang mit den Bauten des japanischen Architektenteams Sanaa entstanden sind und somit an die Iran Serien. (Verlagstext)

Abstract: On 19 June 1992 Austria and Italy declared the official resolution of the South Tyrol question - the dispute that had dominated relations between the two countries since the end of the First World War. While this bilingual province is today held up as a triumph of minority rights protection and a model for post-conflict societies across the world, the story of the South Tyrol since its amalgamation into the Italian state in 1919 has been a complex and often turbulent one. This book investigates the political role of the theatre in reflecting, shaping and subverting patterns of cultural identity among the German-speaking South Tyrolese. Taking as its starting point the representation of history in a series of ambitious theatrical productions from the 1970s to the present, this study offers close readings of texts and performances and an examination of the belated development of professional theatre in the province. The role of theatre is analysed in terms of the broader historical and sociocultural factors at play in the shaping of South Tyrolese identity. (Pressetext)

Abstract: Graphic design history is a territory where multiple interests converge but where views may diverge, especially those of design practitioners and historians. How do historical narratives shape the definition of the field of practice? Conversely, how does graphic design practice contribute, or how can it contribute, to defining the ways to access and disseminate historical knowledge? How does history help to develop critical discourse about the design practice? How do designers use and embed history in their practice? Finally, are the visions and agendas of practitioners and academic historians really so incompatible and distant from one another?

Abstract: Der großformatige Band dokumentiert erstmals die mehrjährige Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Südtiroler Fotografen Walter Niedermayr (*1952) und den in Tokio ansässigen Architekten Kazuyo Sejima (*1956) und Ryue Nishizawa (*1966), die unter dem Namen SANAA operieren. Niedermayr wurde vor allem durch seine bleichen Aufnahmen von alpinen Landschaften, SANAA durch ihre reduktiv und ephemer wirkenden Bauten international bekannt. Beide verfolgen in ihren jeweiligen Disziplinen eine künstlerisch abstrahierende Haltung, in der sie Architektur und Raum nach Koexistenzen, Schichten und Gefügen untersuchen. Die Architektur von und die Bilder über SANAA meiden das Sensationelle und Imponierende. Vielmehr lassen sie Architektur erahnen und sensibilisieren den Betrachter für das Essenzielle von Raum und das Relative des Sichtbaren.(www.hatjecantz.de)

Abstract: Intonation is increasingly becoming a central topic in understanding the phonology of spoken language. Geoffrey Barker gives a detailed account of the intonational structure of Tyrolean German, a South Bavarian dialect of German spoken in western Austria and northern Italy, using an “autosegmental-metrical” theory of intonational phonology. Based on new fieldwork data, he provides a phonetic and phonological analysis of pitch contours in Tyrolean German with the assistance of speech analysis software. He demonstrates that Tyrolean German intonation is fundamentally different from the intonation of non-southern varieties of Standard German due to its distinctive default pitch accent. This book will appeal to both intonologists and dialectologists with its illuminating depiction of the prosodic structure of this southern dialect of German. The accompanying CD enhances the reader’s experience with speech samples corresponding to the appropriate figures in the book. (Verlagsmeldung)

Abstract: What does another language do to the individual who learns and uses it€ How is the individual’s idea of self affected by the other language€ This case study deals with these two overarching questions within the context of learning English as a foreign language through drama at a German upper-secondary school in South Tyrol. It investigates how the students see themselves in their roles, how they perceive themselves as users of the foreign language, and how they experience themselves in-role in another language. The results show how powerful drama-based activities can be and what educational impact they have. (waxmann.com)

Abstract: This book depicts the results of a research project in northern China, where an international and interdisciplinary team of researchers from Italy, Germany and China has applied a broad range of methodology in order to answer basic and applied research questions and derive comprehensive recommendations for sustainable water management and wetland restoration. The project primarily focused on ecosystem services, e.g. the purification of water and biomass production. In particular, the ecosystem function and use of reed (Phragmites australis) and the perception as well as the value of water as a resource for Central Asia's multicultural societies was analysed.(http://bupress.unibz.it)

Abstract: Some political scientists argue that cleavages, especially the class cleavage, no longer represent a significant point of political conflict. This book takes issue with this claim, demonstrating that other cleavages structure party competition. This is nowhere more evident than in the European Alpine region. In “Challenges to Consensual Politics”, Caramani and Mény (2003) maintain that ethno-linguistic, centre-periphery, religious, and rural-urban factors continued to survive, indeed thrive, in the Alpine region, informing the party politics of territories such as Switzerland, South Tyrol, Lombardy, Austria, Bavaria and Valle dAosta. This book examines how issues relating to territory and identity have (re)emerged and have been strengthened in the Alpine region, overlapping with class and ideological dimensions of party politics. Decentralisation and supranational integration pose specific challenges and opportunities for political actors in the region, who must now negotiate between competing pressures – local, regional, national, supranational and global ones – and focus their strategies on multiple levels. In particular, political parties face the challenge of maintaining regional, cultural, and linguistic identities whilst responding to the perceived threat of immigration, ‘fuzzy borders’ and multiculturalism hastened by globalisation. The book focuses on strategies employed by political parties operating in the Alpine region and identities common themes and patterns of party competition. The emphasis is primarily on territorial cleavages related to demands for self-determination, and linguistic and cultural protection, while also examining how parties use these issues to inform socio-economic demands. Moreover, the focus is on how Alpine parties operate on multiple levels – the regional, national and European one – and how they have in some cases moved from ‘protest parties’ to parties in power.

Abstract: Consider these facts. In Italy the right to worship, without discrimination, is enshrined within the constitution. There are 1.35 million Muslims in Italy and yet, officially, only eight mosques in the whole country. One consequence is that the Muslim population have accumulated a huge number of makeshift and temporary places of worship. These are housed in a variety of buildings including lock ups, garages, shops, warehouses and old factories. This shortage of places to worship is particularly acute in north east Italy – where the photographer Nicolò Degiorgis lives – home to many anti-Islamic campaigns headed by the right wing party Lega Nord. The dull images of the many and diverse buildings that house the makeshift mosques are printed on folded pages. You open up the gatefold to reveal the scenes inside the mosques, shot in full colour. The size of the gatherings varies, from large crowds who sometimes pray outside to a small room full to bursting, or to intimate groups of two or three Muslims. Degiorgis provides a fascinating glimpse of hidden world and leaves the conclusions about this project entirely in our own hands. (Verlagstext)

Abstract: Can literature be investigated through quantitative methods? Can style, empathy, and prestige be measured? This study attempts to respond to these questions by providing results from a selection of case studies taken from German literature of the 19th through the 21st century, including Goethe's "late style", Felix Salten, and the output of contemporary writers such as Florian Meimberg's "twitterature" and Daniel Glattauer's e-mail novel. Altogether, this study shows how the interplay among literary theory, stylometry, stylistics, sentiment analysis, empirical studies, and archival research can offer new answers to old questions regarding German literature and provide tools to formulate new questions and novel approaches to research.(Umschlagtext)

Abstract: This action research (AR) study concerns an English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) course taught to undergraduate economics students at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, a trilingual university in Italy whose degree programmes are taught in German, Italian and English. Despite English for Specific Purposes being an approach to address learner needs, no accurate needs analysis had been conducted. Therefore this study instituted a wide-ranging needs analysis and from the data collected a new learner-centred syllabus was developed for the ESAP course that blended elements from both a product and process approach to syllabus design using classroom negotiation to foster productive skills.

Abstract: This book sets out to try to understand why segregated schooling still exists, especially in northern Italy in South Tyrol where they practice ‘separate but equal’ education. Supported by the UN, the Austrian and Italian governments, the province is considered a ‘peace model’ due to its consociational approach to dealing with the region’s Nazi and Fascist past, which has led to a ‘negative peace’. The autonomy statutes, which derived from this ‘peace’, resulted in an education system that is linguistically segregated for the purposes of protecting South Tyrol’s ethnolinguistic minorities. Ann Wand is the Founder and Director of The Oxford Method, an online British university preparatory programme for international students interested in attending Britain’s top universities. She is also the Programme Manager for Customised Faculty led programmes in Oxford, England and Florence, Italy at the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS). By examining responses to South Tyrol's education system, and its impact on local group dynamics, this book explores the implications that segregated schooling may have on second language acquisition. This case study will be of interest to students and scholars of Italian studies, anthropology, linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistics, and second language education.
