| Title: Aalborg PBL model |
| Sub-title: Progress, Diversity & Challenges |
| Edited by: Anette Kolmos, Flemming K Fink, Lone Krogh |
| ISBN10-13: 8773077003 : 9788773077009 |
| In The Aalborg PBL Model -- Progress, Diversity and Challenges, thirty teachers and researchers share their reflections on the practice of the problem-based and project-organised teaching model (PBL), which has been applied in the faculties of Engineering and Science, Humanities, and Social Science at Aalborg University since 1974. Since its initial implementation, the PBL mode has developed in several important ways. Most notably, the PBL model has developed considerably in relation to the specific nature of the given academic disciplines and become an integrated component of these disciplines. The Articles collected in this book seek to describe and explore this development, highlighting variations on the PBL as it was originally conceived and the challenges that have occurred during this journey. |

| Title: Aesthetics of Television |
| Edited by: Gunhild Agger, Jens F Jensen |
| ISBN10-13: 8773076236 : 9788773076231 |
| The concepts of aesthetics is traditionally connected with art and high culture (e.g. literature, theatre, pictorial art etc.) whereas mass media such as television are usually associated with a lack of cultural quality, originality and authenticity -- and consequently with a lack of aesthetics. And, undoubtedly, most television programmes will fail if judged by the aesthetic standards and valuation criteria of traditional art forms. However, television as a medium also has aesthetic aspects. The aesthetics of television concerns the medium's means of expression, its forms, conventions and 'styles'. But it also concerns the content and the relationship between content and expression, as well as the relationship between programme and genre, programme and audience etc. The aim of the anthology is to describe and analyse television as an aesthetic phenomenon. It addresses the question from different approaches and in a variety of ways: general aesthetic problems concerning the audio-visual media, the special aesthetic means of expression belonging to the television medium, the quality of the individual programme, the distinctive features and aesthetic codes of individual TV genres, enunciation and forms of address in television etc. Among the TV genres and programmes formats dealt with are: talk shows, television documentaries, police series, TV sport, TV fiction, TV advertising, everyday talk on television, comedy series, TV journalism, and interactive programme formats. |

| Title: Circle of Form |
| Sub-title: Form and Contrast in Architecture |
| By (author): Thomas Arvid Jaeger |
| ISBN10-13: 8772102896 : 9788772102894 |
| Circle of Form offers an informative guide to the complex discipline of mastering form, contrast and composition in Architecture. The starting point for this book is our ability to see and think what is similar and what is different. Things can be more or less diverse, but oppositions, contrasts are a particular way to convey the difference. On reflection, opposites are one of the most used methods to quickly and immediately breakdown complex compositions into simple, well-defined but connected pieces. Artists have used this knowledge for centuries because simplicity supports a clear artistic language and oppositions emphasise expression and interaction, whether it is literature, music, painting, sculpture, product design or as in this book: Architecture. The Circle of Form continues this tradition, but with a systematic and modern perspective. The theoretical approach of this book continues the authors previous research into art theories, perception, cognitive theories and neuroscience related to visual experiences. |

| Title: Constructing History, Society & Politics in Discourse |
| Sub-title: Multimodal Approaches |
| By (author): Inger Lassen, Jeanne Strunck Edited by: Torben Vestergaard |
| ISBN10-13: 8773079480 : 9788773079485 |
| The Papers collected in this volume are alike in dealing with media discourse, but differ in that they represent widely differing approaches. However, in spite of their seeming differences, they all share the quality of being concerned with news discourse and striving to find new ways of analysing news discourse. On the face of it, they also differ in that while the majority of them are concerned exclusively with linguistic discourse analysis, some with the analysis of both linguistic and non-linguistic signs, and one exclusively with non-linguistic signification, these differences are bridged by their common quest for finding new ways of reading news discourse. |
| Table of Contents: |
| Constructing history, society and politics in discourse -- Multimodal approaches; The Frozen oppositional mode; How the Asahi Newspaper argued its editorial stance toward the U.S. attack on Afghanistan; Risk Discourse -- The Ideological Labour of the Press after September 11; Asking the "difficult" questions -- a comparative case study of British and Irish current affairs coverage in the immediate aftermath of September 11; Between memory and taboo -- On the constructing of images of history in Austrian mass media discourse; Identity discourse and the construction of images -- The role of Le Soir in the Belgian identity debate; A Quest for dialogism -- looking back at Italian political violence in the 70s; Selling Mozart in Salzburg -- Multisystemiotic approach; Political discourse in the feminine manifestation -- Social identity. |

| Title: Cultural Text Studies 1 |
| Sub-title: An Introduction |
| Edited by: Camelia Elias, Bent Sørensen |
| ISBN10-13: 8773077534 : 9788773077535 |
| Cultural Text Studies is a research project initiated by the Department of Languages, Culture and Aesthetics at Aalborg University. The present introductory volume launches a series of themed monographs which will be edited by researchers at the Dept., occasionally aided by friends and associates from other programmes. The purpose of the series is to be a forum for the publication of results of research in the broadly defined area of cultural text. CTS -- An Introduction is a volume authored by present and past members of the English programme's teaching staff in the fields of culture, literature, and media studies. The essays range widely in terms of the period, genre, and medium of the texts investigated. Focus areas include Victorian literature and art; high modernism, especially approached from the point of view of a centre/margin discourse; and finally postmodernist aesthetics and its embedded move from literary into cultural studies, as witnessed by essays on world music, shoes, Hollywood, the post-ironic, the deterritorialised, and the post-human condition as cultural texts. |

| Title: Cultural Text Studies 2 |
| Sub-title: Transatlantic |
| Edited by: Camelia Elias, Andrea Birch |
| ISBN10-13: 8773077542 : 9788773077542 |
| Cultural Text Studies is a series of themed monographs, edited by researchers at the Dept. of Languages and Intercultural Studies at Aalborg University and associates and friends of the Dept. The purpose of the series is to be a forum for the publication of results of research in the broadly defined area of cultural text. Transatlantic, the present volume, offers interdisciplinary scholarship, bringing together explorations of transatlantic perspectives in arts, literature, history, philosophy and law. In the individual essays the transatlantic perspective opens up comparative aspects of phenomena within these fields, but this perspective also allows for a new type of engagement with the phenomena themselves, which are analysed in new historical, transnational contexts. The volume is itself an expression of a transatlantic exchange. The contributors are all affiliated with either Aalborg University or Brenau University, two small research and educational institutions which have long experimented with transatlantic exchanges of students, faculty and scholarship. |
| Table of Contents: |
| Introduction: Transatlantic: New Perspectives; Images of Europe in Selected American World History Textbooks; Passage-way to Culture and Writing -- Literature of Transit: Codrescu, Federman, Hoffmann, and Simic; Atlanticised; Joseph O'Connor's Irish America; Continuity Breach: The British Revision of the American Superhero; Song of the Silenced: American Performance of Baltic Choral Music; Entrepreneurship in Lithuania: Embracing a Western Tradition; The Transatlantic Flow of Morality: A case Study of Abortion Politics; "Dove sono le donne artisti?" ...and other Questions Regarding Revisionist Art HIstory and Italien Woman; Travels with Merril (and the Athena Project); "Crossing a bare Common'": Emerson's Ironic Negotiation of the sublime; Anxiety between Europe and America: Reinhold Niebuhr and his Use of Søren Kierkegaard's Concept of Anxiety; Contributors. |

| Title: Danish trade unionism 1870-1940 |
| Sub-title: Work, workshop & society |
| Edited by: Knud Knudsen |
| ISBN10-13: 8772107367 : 9788772107363 |
| An introduction to early Danish trade unionism 1870-1940. Before the Second World War Danish workers were among the best organized in Europe. It is the high level of unionisation which makes Danish trade unionism 1870-1940 an interesting case, in particular the high level of unionisation of unskilled workers, male and female, in a trade union movement based on the craft-principle. In this book key issues of Danish trade unions before 1940 have been examined in order to understand and explain this particular case of successful trade unionism in Europe before 1940. In eight chapters the book examines the organisational structures of Danish trade unions, Scandinavian and international cooperation, the dominance of skill, agitation and ideology of trade unionism, the impact of strikes and industrial conflicts, trade unions and politics, womens work and identities and the work and organisation of unskilled workers -- thereby seeking to explain the success of Danish trade unionism before 1940. |

When partaking this challenge, we promise you beyond the design task will have real skin in every other aspect of the game. You will: Feel 100% ownership for the business, by becoming the investor and business owner; Experience all production considerations and issues, by becoming the producer; Consider the real market fit and user need, by becoming the marketing and salesperson. This book pushes designers to design for the real-world, with a 100% ownership and full consideration of the design, the business and the production aspects from the start and throughout the entire process. |

| Title: Designerly Loops |
| Edited by: Linda Nhu Laursen, Louise M Haase |
| ISBN10-13: 8772107588 : 9788772107585 |
| Essential thinking and doing for design students. How do you do design for the first time? Design was originally taught as an apprenticeship, because there is no one solution for, how to approach a design challenge. It is situated. It depends on the expertise of those tackling it. It depends on their circumstances and loads of other factors. DESIGNERLY LOOPS is an apprenticeship notebook with roadmaps, worksheets, short explainer videos and reflections: The roadmaps will guide you in your design journey. It is kind of a map for navigating an unknown territory for the first time. We tried to lay this out to support you in moving forward; The worksheets will suggest relevant actions and support you in more doing; The short explainer videos will answer most of your practical and theoretical questions and also show concrete examples of different tools and techniques typically used in the design process. These videos are only produced in Danish (as a start); The reflections will help you reflect, to become reflective in your practice and move up the ladder of expertise. It will help you to do and think in a focused and reflective manner. The content in the book stands on the shoulders of design thinking and designerly research, as well as our own research on how to build a design expertise. We have written it because we found that there is missing a book that teaches design students to move forward, not only in their project, but in their enhancement of their skills within design. |
