Urban Education: Challenges and Possibilities. 330 $aThis book brings together internationally prominent scholars renowned for their work on post-Soviet republics, as well as outstanding emerging scholars native of Central Asia in order to discuss the state of education in the Central Asian Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Drawing on their individual contexts and research, the authors offer analyses and critiques of some of the social, political, and economic issues in education in their respective countries, and some insights about how local actions engage with the challenges and problems, as well as with the possibilities and opportunities they face. Since gaining their independence in 1991, the five republics of Central Asia have been undergoing some enormous political, social, linguistic, cultural, and economic changes, even as we write. This collection shows that researchers are increasingly interested in exploring the development of education in this part of the world. In thesecountries, education plays a significant role in transitioning from centrally planned to market economies and is seen as the key resource to facilitate entry into the global competitiveness sphere. This book will be of particular interest to educators, researchers, and policy makers engaged in research or with a particular interest in curricula, and education systems and reforms, and to undergraduate and graduate students studying and researching education in Central Asia or in other post-Soviet contexts. 410 0$aEducation, Equity, Economy,$x2364-8368 ;$v8 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aEducation Policy 606 $aSocial Structure 606 $aHigher Education 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 14$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aEducation Policy. 615 24$aSocial Structure. 615 24$aHigher Education. 676 $a370.958 702 $aEge?a$b Denise 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910418297203321 996 $aEducation in Central Asia$91972578 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03135nam 22006135 450 001 9910624355803321 005 20240912145703.0 010 $a9783839445792 010 $a3839445795 024 7 $a10.1515/9783839445792 035 $a(CKB)5580000000395740 035 $a(DE-B1597)641213 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783839445792 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/93900 035 $a(OCoLC)1350571631 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30469255 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30469255 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7111884 035 $a(ScCtBLL)c57cfd20-9422-4c67-b6e5-a7e7a25d89af 035 $a(Perlego)3740916 035 $a(EXLCZ)995580000000395740 100 $a20221107h20222022 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWhat is the Avatar? $eFiction and Embodiment in Avatar-Based Singleplayer Computer Games.

An Afterword -- $tBibliography 330 $aWhat are the characteristic features of avatar-based singleplayer videogames, from Super Mario Bros. to Grand Theft Auto? Rune Klevjer examines this question with a particular focus on issues of fictionality and realism, and their relation to cinema and Virtual Reality. Through close-up analysis and philosophical discussion, Klevjer argues that avatar-based gaming is a distinctive and dominant form of virtual self-embodiment in digital culture. This book is a revised edition of Rune Klevjer's pioneering work from 2007, featuring a new introduction by the author and afterword by Stephan Günzel, Jörg Sternagel, and Dieter Mersch. 410 0$aGame Studies 606 $aAvatars (Virtual reality) 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies$2bisacsh 615 0$aAvatars (Virtual reality) 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. 676 $a006.8 700 $aKlevjer$b Rune, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01264933 702 $aGünzel$b Stephan, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMersch$b Dieter, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSternagel$b Jörg, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910624355803321 996 $aWhat is the Avatar$92965940 997 $aUNINA
