Dieses Buch stellt sich der Herausforderung, ein zielgruppengerechtes interkulturelles Seminar zu konzipieren sowie eine Anleitung zu erarbeiten, wie derartige Seminare auch für andere vergleichbare Bildungskontexte entwickelt werden können. Im Mittelpunkt des Forschungsvorhabens steht die Frage, wie eine zielgruppenadäquate Vermittlung von interkultureller Kompetenz für chinesische Studierende an deutschen Hochschulen aussehen könnte. Mit dem Versuch, in theoretischer wie methodischer Hinsicht und in Bezug auf die praktische Anwendung ein neues, innovatives Seminarkonzept zu entwerfen, stellt die vorliegende Arbeit nicht nur höchste Ansprüche an ihre Zielsetzung und ihre interdisziplinäre Ausrichtung, sondern kann zugleich als Pionierleistung gewertet werden, die auch für die Strategie der Internationalisierung der Hochschulen in Deutschland von Relevanz ist. Die Arbeit liefert grundlegende Ansätze und wichtige Impulse für die Optimierung des interkulturellen Trainings aus einer neuartigen Sicht und bereitet damit der Förderung von interkultureller Kompetenz neue Wege.

This ambitious, interdisciplinary collection responds to present intellectual debates concerning the value and limits of privacy. Ever since the beginning of modernity, the line of demarcation between private and public spaces, and the distinction between them, have continually been challenged and redrawn. Such developments as new technologies that introduce previously unforeseen possibilities for infringement upon privacy and the modern spectacles of television talk shows and “reality-TV” give added urgency to the discussion on privacy. This collection examines the fundamental issues structuring that debate. Bringing together for the first time leading contributors to the recent debates on privacy from both Europe and the United States, this collection affirms that privacy, in all its dimensions, remains a central value of liberal democracies. Its essays expose the complex ways in which privacy is essentially and intimately intertwined with our ideas of freedom, identity, and “the good life.”

Wexford is one of the few towns or cities in Ireland where Main Street is still the main retail and commercial street of the town. In Dublin this honour goes to O’Connell and Grafton Street; in Cork it is Patrick Street; but in Wexford, Main Street is the hub and the site of Wexford’s hidden historical gems. Main Street: Heart of Wexford contains little-known photographs, interesting advertisements and intriguing information about the street, such as the presence of a bag factory on South Main Street, Frank Hall of Radio Telefis Eireann being the official opener of the Book Centre in Wexford on 13 June 1975, and that Lamb House was a shop at the top of Anne Street on the south side and had a life-size lamb as its shop sign. Both insightful and comprehensive, this book is a wonderful history concentrating on the principal street of Wexford.
