    Post-Chineseness (eBook, ePUB)
    There have been few efforts to overcome the binary of China versus the West. The recent global political environment, with a deepening confrontation between China and the West, strengthens this binary image. Post-Chineseness boldly challenges the essentialized notion of Chineseness in existing scholarship through the revelation of the multiplicity and complexity of the uses of Chineseness by strategically conceived insiders, outsiders, and those in-between. Combining the fields of international relations, cultural politics, and intellectual history, Chih-yu Shih investigates how the global audience perceives (and essentializes) Chineseness. Shih engages with major Chinese international relations theories, investigates the works of sinologists in Hong Kong, Singapore, Pakistan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and other academics in East Asia, and explores individual scholars' life stories and academic careers to delineate how Chineseness is constantly negotiated and reproduced. Shih's theory of the "balance of relationships" expands the concept of Chineseness and effectively challenges existing theories of realism, liberalism, and conventional constructivism in international relations. The highly original delineation of multiple layers and diverse dimensions of "Chineseness" opens an intellectual channel between the social sciences and humanities in China studies.

    Digital Marketing Strategies for Value Co-creation
    Online brand communities (OBCs) are hugely important in the development of marketing strategy, but it is unclear how marketers can effectively utilise these platforms to enhance and develop consumer engagement. For an online brand community to be successful, it should allow members to feel a connection to the brand and with other members while forming a disconnection from those not belonging to the community. It should also have rituals and traditions that join members together over a revered commonality, and moral responsibility in contributing to the community. Indeed, brands play active roles in securing degrees of activity in OBCs' through content that offers members the quality of engagement they seek.This book focuses on contemporary digital marketing issues in OBCs, offering a comprehensive examination of consumers' response to active engagement in such communities. It discusses how brands can tap into the various levels of participation, engagement and online conversations in the development of marketing strategy and ultimately examines how an online brand community strengthens value co-creation. Balancing theory with practical approaches, this book gives serious treatment to an important yet until now overlooked area of digital marketing strategy, providing an important resource for scholars, students and practitioners.

    The Darkness: Giger, Texas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 791min
    When night falls in Giger, Texas, shadows gather, as they always do in dim corners and other areas bereft of light. But this time they consolidate and attack any who tread too close. Michael Warren, a 24-year-old resident of Giger, finds himself at the epicenter of this horror and is stunned by the losses suffered overnight. Then the sun sets, and the shadows again coalesce, growing more aggressive, the darkness eviscerating anyone it touches.   His only weapon light, Michael struggles to survive and searches frantically for his girlfriend, aiding friends along the way. When Hurricane Daniel roars ashore, wind gusts shred trees and tear down power lines, plunging all of Southeastern Texas into blackness that only feeds and strengthens the encroaching darkness. Rising floodwater provides easy thoroughfares from which the darkness can strike as Michael and his friends contend with the elements, clash with criminals, and battle their way to his residence, where they will stand against the darkness and fight to survive. ungekürzt.
