Sommario/riassunto

"Self-determination is on the agenda of Indigenous peoples all over the world. This analysis by an Indigenous feminist scholar challenges the United Nations-based human rights agendas and colonial theory that until now have shaped Indigenous models of self-determination. Gender inequality and gender violence, Dian Million argues, are critically important elements in the process of self-determination.   Million contends that nation-state relations are influenced by a theory of trauma ascendant with the rise of neoliberalism. Such use of trauma theory regarding human rights corresponds to a therapeutic narrative by Western governments negotiating with Indigenous nations as they seek self-determination.  Focusing on Canada and drawing comparisons with the United States and Australia, Million brings a genealogical understanding of trauma against a historical filter.  Illustrating how Indigenous people are positioned differently in Canada, Australia, and the United States in their articulation of trauma, the author particularly addresses the violence against women as a language



within a greater politic. The book introduces an Indigenous feminist critique of this violence against the medicalized framework of addressing trauma and looks to the larger goals of decolonization. Noting the influence of humanitarian psychiatry, Million goes on to confront the implications of simply dismissing Indigenous healing and storytelling traditions.  Therapeutic Nations is the first book to demonstrate affect and trauma's wide-ranging historical origins in an Indigenous setting, offering insights into community healing programs. The author's theoretical sophistication and original research make the book relevant across a range of disciplines as it challenges key concepts of American Indian and Indigenous studies"--

Knowledgebase about Knowledge/Learning Management Systems -- Development of a General Applicable Requirement Engineering Reference Architecture -- Empirical and Operational Testing of the Reference Architecture.

Sommario/riassunto

Sven-Michael Wundenberg discusses the development of a reference architecture for the Learning Management System’s (LMS) selection-process aimed at the system’s implementation in a polytechnic-knowledge-transfer organization. The focus lies on the requirement engineering (RE) process’s quintessence based on research about standard RE-procedures and -approaches combined with LMS-basic knowledge and LMS-best-practice experiences. The resulting reference-architecture, particularly its frameworks and questionnaires, are tested prototypically in the real-life instance of a polytechnic school, the Technikerschule Augsburg (TA), and delivers outstanding results. Contents Knowledgebase about Knowledge/Learning Management Systems Development of a General Applicable Requirement Engineering Reference Architecture Empirical and Operational Testing of the Reference Architecture  Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of knowledge management, requirement management and project management Practitioners in these areas  The Author Sven-Michael Wundenberg completed his Master’s Degree under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael Bächle at the Professional School of Business and Technology in Kempten /Germany and the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane/ Australia.
