Ardeleanu, Stefan; Cubas Díaz, Jon C.
This volume presents the first pan-Mediterranean panorama of Late Antique mortuary practices, combining and contextualizing an abundant dataset of archaeological and epigraphic evidence. In 17 contributions, a group of international specialists discusses funerary evidence from 14 Late Antique landscapes, in order to show the high diversity of microregional and local customs in funerary cultures as well as the significance of global trends. In this volume various new methodological approaches are applied: the materiality of epitaphs and tombs, their visibility, their accessibility, their perception, their setting within shifting spatial environments, as well as their crucial role within social practices. Therefore, this book fundamentally reshapes our understanding of mortuary habits and the commemoration of the dead during the transitional phase of the Long Late Antiquity.

Estrada, Isabel M.
The 2008 financial crisis prompted the most significant social protests since 1968 in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. These protests generated not only social reform but also collaborative and affective affiliations, often seen through artistic and cultural materials. Taking Spain as a focal point, this book examines film production at both points in time, showing how it emerges from simultaneously divergent and comparable economic and political milieux. The book aims to recognize and celebrate the political responsibility exercised and expressed by a new generation of Spaniards deeply immersed in those protests. Through the convergences of two markedly significant periods in two separate centuries, filmmakers expose the deficiencies of Spain’s democracy in 2008—the D€MOCRAZY in the title, a slogan seen on a banner carried by the protesters—while creating a new sensibility and forms of social life that bring back the notions of community and the common good that had been forgotten in the midst of such a brittle environment.

This book examines the cultural memory practices and opportunities for participation of young people in the German migration society. With the help of qualitative and participatory research methods, individual, family and group-specific experiences of young people are worked out, which serve as a scientific reflection foil for the reconstruction of life-world memory processes - an interdisciplinary project that combines memory pedagogy, youth work and memory studies.; Junge Menschen bilden vielfältige Erinnerungspraktiken aus, die von familiären Einflüssen, schulischen Erfahrungen und dem Austausch in informellen und non-formalen Peerbeziehungen beeinflusst werden. Das Buch dokumentiert die Erforschung dieser Praktiken, die in Teilen partizipativ angelegt war, und ermöglicht Einblicke in die Erinnerungskultur der deutschen Migrationsgesellschaft.

Dimmock, C.A.J.; O'Donoghue, T.A.
Restructuring is an international phenomenon, and great stress is placed on the role of the innovative principal in the process. This book offers insights into the ways in which six principals go about leading the change process in their schools, and looks for ways of understanding why and how principals behave and think in the way they do. Its edited topical life history approach identifies key events, experiences and significant others in the lives of the case study managers, and shows how these have shaped the way they implement changes to curriculum, teaching and learning in their schools.
