This monograph explores 30 years of work, from his exile in 80s New York to the art as social campaign that led to his detention.

: Manifestos and immodest proposals from China`s most famous artist and activist, culled from his popular blog, shut down by Chinese authorities in 2009.
: The Battle of the Alamo is one of the most compelling stories from American history. Students of the battle often wonder why William B. Travis and his small garrison were left alone to meet their fate at the hands of General Santa Anna. Richard B. Winders examines events that led to this epic struggle and concludes that in-fighting among the revolutionary leadership doomed the Alamo garrison.

: This book studies the tension between arts and politics in four contemporary artists from different countries, working with different media. The film directors Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne film parts of their natal city to refer to specific political problems in interpersonal relations. The novelist Arundhati Roy uses her poetic language to make room for people's desires; her fiction is utterly political and her political essays make place for the role of narratives and poetic language. Ai Weiwei uses references to Chinese history to give consistency to its 'economic miracle'. Finally, Burial's electronic music is firmly rooted in a living, breathing London; built to create a sound that is entirely new, and yet hauntingly familiar. These artists create in their own way a space for politics in their works and their oeuvre but their singularity comes together as a desire to reconstruct the political space within art from its ruins. These ruins were brought by the disenchantment of 1970s: the end of art, postmodernism, and the rise of design, marketing and communication. Each artwork bears the mark of the resistance against the depoliticisation of society and the arts, at once rejecting cynicism and idealism, referring to themes and political concepts that are larger than their own domain. This book focuses on these productive tensions.

: Dit boek legt de managementaspecten van DevOps uit voor degenen die zich professioneel bezighouden met informatie- en technologiemanagement. Het is geschreven voor IT-specialisten, IT-managers en IT-executives. Het toont DevOps niet als een fenomeen dat geassocieerd wordt met nieuwe automatiseringstools, programmeertechnieken of -technologieen en het verschilt van andere boeken door het gestructureerde verhaal (misschien is het overmatig gestructureerd) en door de poging om het fenomeen DevOps volledig te dekken op zowel een basis- als een fundamenteel niveau. Door die benadering wordt de lezer zich bewust van het nieuwe onderwerp en helpt het boek de fundering de bouwen, de basis. De lezer leert over de oorsprong van DevOps, de onvermijdelijkheid van zijn opkomst, de belangrijkste voorwaarden ervan en hoe die in de praktijk tot uiting komen, over de praktijk zelf en de principes waarop die is gebaseerd.In dit boek staat de stof voor de EXIN DevOps Foundation certificering. Dit examen test het begrip van (1) de basisconcepten van DevOps, (2) hoe deze aan elkaar gerelateerd zijn, en (3) de waarde van DevOps voor de business. EXIN DevOps Foundation is het eerste niveau van het EXIN DevOps certificeringsprogramma. De EXIN DevOps Professional certificering test de kennis van de DevOps praktijk en van hoe teams te integreren. De EXIN DevOps Master certificering gaat over het bevorderen van organisatieverandering en over het toeleiden naar continu leveren en verbeteren.
: This book discusses the work of four different kinds of artists from four different countries (Belgium, China, the UK and India) to examine how they create a space for politics in their work.
: The monograph presents new findings and perspectives in the study of variation in metonymy, both theoretical and methodological. Theoretically, it sheds light on metonymy from an onomasiological perspective, which helps to discover the different conceptual or lexical "pathways" through which a concept or a group of concepts has been designated by going back to the source concepts. In addition, it broadens the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics research on metonymy by looking into how metonymic conceptualization and usage may vary along various dimensions. Three case studies explore significant variation in metonymy across different languages, time periods, genres and social lects. Methodologically, the monograph responds to the call in Cognitive Linguistics to adopt usage-based empirical methodologies. The case studies show that quantification and statistical techniques constitute essential parts of an empirical analysis based on corpus data. The empirical findings demonstrate the essential need to extend research on metonymy in a variationist Cognitive Linguistics direction by studying metonymys cultural, historical and social-lectal variation.

Cognitive Sociolinguistics draws on the rich theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics and focuses on the social factors that underlie the variability of meaning and conceptualization. In the last decade, the field has expanded in various way. The current volume takes stock of current and emerging advances in the field in short academic contributions.
The studies collected in this book have a usage-based approach to language variation and change, drawing on the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics and are sensitive to social variation, be it cross-linguistic or language-internal. Three types of contributions are collected in this book. First, it contains theoretical overview papers on the domains that have witnessed expansion in recent years. Second, it presents novel research ideas in proof-of-concept contributions, aimed at blue-sky research and out-of-the-box linguistic analyses. Third, it showcases recent empirical studies within the field.
By combining these three types of contributions, the book provides an encompassing overview of novel developments in the field of Cognitive Sociolinguistics.
