Artists who work with new media generally adopt a critical media approach in contrast to artists who work with traditional art media. Where does the difference lie between media artists and artists who produce modern art? Which key art objects illustrate this trend? The author investigates the relationship between art and technology on the basis of work produced by Edward Ihnatowicz and Harald Cohen, and on the basis of the pioneering computer art exhibition at Dokumenta X in 1997. His line of argument counters the generally held view that computer art straddles the gap between art and technology. Instead, he is seeking a genuine interpretation of the origin of media art, and to develop new perspectives for it.

This book explores the Complementary Management Model. Building on extensive theoretical considerations on management and leadership, it outlines the seven elements of the model: the management actors (1) jointly fulfil management tasks (2) serving two management functions (3) by performing management routines (4) and applying formal management instruments (5), which requires management resources (6) and management unit structures (7). The key mechanisms of Complementary Management include the primacy of employee self-leadership, compensatory interventions of the line manager in the absence of such self-steerage, and active roles for senior managers and HR advisors in the management/leadership process. The Complementary Leadership Model is practice-oriented and offers a coherent conceptual basis for corporate models (= principles and guidelines) of management and leadership. The book describes the process for developing and introducing such guidelines and backs this up with project recommendations. It is aimed at all those interested in theory, but especially HR professionals and managers who shape management and leadership in their organizations and are looking for compelling theoretical foundations for their work.

The current policy for climate change prioritises mitigation over adaptation. The collected papers of Climate Change as Environmental and Economic Hazard argue that although efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are still vital, the new policy paradigm should shift the priority to adaptation, with a special focus on disaster risk reduction. It should also consider climate change not purely as a hazard and a challenge, but as a window of opportunity to shift to a new sustainable development policy model, which stresses the particular importance of communities' resilience. The papers in this volume explore the key issues linked to this shift, including: ' Increasing research into the Earth Sciences, climate reconstruction and forecasting in order to decrease the degree of uncertainty about the origin, development and implications of climate change; ' The introduction of more binding and comprehensive regulation of both greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation measures, like that in the United Kingdom; ' Matching climate policy with that for disasters and mainstreaming it into overall development strategies. The volume is a valuable addition to previous climate change research and considers a new policy approach to this new global challenge.

Modern history is a history of aesthetizations – and every aesthetization raises a claim of protection. We aestheticize and want to protect almost everything, including Earth, oceans, the atmosphere, rare animal species and exotic plants. Humans are no exception. They also present themselves as objects of contemplation that deserve admiration and care. For some time, artists and intellectuals struggled for the sovereign right to present themselves to society in their own way – to become self-created works of art. Today everybody has not only a right but also an obligation to practice self-design. We are responsible for the way we present ourselves to others – and we cannot get rid of this aesthetic responsibility. However, we are not able to produce our own bodies. Before we begin to practice self-design, we find ourselves already designed by the gaze of others. That is why the practice of self-design mostly takes a critical and confrontational turn. We want to bring others to see us in the way we want to be seen – not only during our earthly life but also after our death. This is a complicated struggle, and the aim of this book is to describe and analyze it.

?Hay lugares que huelen y saben a poemas en abierto. En abierto en canal desde el corazón a las palabras. Desde el blues del alma hacia el universo. Estos son los espacios que pueblan Lugares a los que volver con el buen tiempo. Quizás el libro más porteño, más de memoria de interior de Boris Rozas. También el libro más fieramente humano del poeta. Regreso al vientre, aunque ya nunca más regrese el niño, el muchacho que se perdió en los aromas, las músicas, el aire, las visiones del mundo? El ayer, que habla de tú a tú con el hoy. ?No hay personas, solo lugares / a los que volver / con el buen tiempo?. El tiempo de las miradas silenciosas. De la música callada y de la poesía que se enciende con el fósforo de cada poema. Un verso suelto frente a los desmanes de la existencia. Un trocito de amor en la escorrentía del tiempo?.

Sin adscribirse a ninguna tendencia y sin dejarse encasillar en ninguna escuela ni corriente, la obra de Boris Vian (1920-1959) puede resultar huidiza a la vez que cargada de una honda angustia vital, la angustia del tiempo destructor, del deterioro, de la muerte, a través de un universo insólito, descabellado y fascinante.Para el escritor Raymond Queneau, gran amigo de Boris Vian, " La espuma de los días " es ?la más desgarradora de todas las historias de amor contemporáneas?. Casi veinte años después de la muerte de su autor se convirtió en uno de los " best-sellers " de la literatura francesa. El tono festivo, la fantasía de los juegos verbales, la creación de un universo fantástico e insólito son los instrumentos que relatan en un tono agridulce una tragedia de la más depurada sencillez, un drama en el que los personajes son víctimas inocentes de la más despiadada y ciega fatalidad.

Cómo entender el suicidio de un niño? Este impactante y desatendido fenómeno constituye el núcleo de reflexión de esta obra de Boris Cyrulnik.El sentido de la muerte entre los menores, nos recuerda el autor, se va modificando con la edad y nunca es el mismo que se tiene en la edad adulta. Cyrulnik no postula una sola motivación para explicar esta dolorosa problemática, sino que aplica un enfoque en el que integra diversos factores, como las transformaciones en la civilización, con los flujos migratorios y sus consecuencias de desarraigo en los más jóvenes; o los cambios sociales que debilitan los vínculos de apego y empobrecen el nicho afectivo del menor.Existen, de este modo, aspectos individuales y familiares muy relevantes y a tener en cuenta, pero sin olvidar que se trata en gran medida de un problema social de complejo análisis y resolución, en el que la sociedad tiene aún mucho que elaborar.En diversos países se ha podido verificar la eficacia de una serie de políticas
