Download or read book Modern Approaches to the Visualization of Landscapes written by Dennis Edler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume deals with the effects of digitization on spatial and especially landscape construction processes and their visualization. A focus lies on the generation mechanisms of 'landscapes' with digital tools of cartography and geomatics, including possibilities to model and visualize non-visual stimuli, but also spatial-temporal changes of physical space. Another focus is on how virtual spaces have already become part of the social and individual construction of landscape. Potentials of combining modern media of spatial visualization and (constructivist) landscape research are discussed.
Download or read book Tokio Geschichte n written by Hermann Candahashi and published by Hermann Candahashi. This book was released on with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willkommen in Tokio, einer Stadt, in der das Gewöhnliche außergewöhnlich wird, in der Träume vor unseren Augen Wirklichkeit werden, begleitet von einer Symphonie aus Bildern, Klängen und Empfindungen. Es ist eine pulsierende Metropole, in der Tradition mit Innovation tanzt und an jeder Straßenecke eine Geschichte darauf wartet, erzählt zu werden. Als ich die belebten Straßen dieser aufregenden Stadt betrete, überkommt mich eine Welle der Aufregung. Tokio - ein Name, der Vorfreude und Staunen in sich trägt - ist ein kunterbuntes Mosaik aus Farben, Kontrasten und Widersprüchen. Hier stehen sich antike Tempel und futuristische Wolkenkratzer gegenüber, während der Duft von Räucherstäbchen mit dem Aroma von brutzelndem Streetfood verschmilzt. Das Herz Tokios schlägt am stärksten in seinen Menschen, einem komplexen Netzwerk vielfältiger Individuen, die den Charakter dieser Stadt prägen. Von den akribisch ihre täglichen Routinen planenden Salarymen bis hin zu den Geishas, die Eleganz und Anmut verkörpern - jeder einzelne fügt einen Pinselstrich zu dem fesselnden Porträt dieser pulsierenden Metropole hinzu. Im lebendigen Stadtteil Shibuya blüht die jugendliche Energie Tokios. Hier, mitten in einem Meer aus Neonlichtern und riesigen Werbetafeln, formt eine neue Generation ihre Identität. Harajuku mit seiner avantgardistischen Mode und exzentrischen Straßenstilen ist ein Zeugnis für die grenzenlose Kreativität, die in diesen Straßen gedeiht. Und wenn die Nacht hereinbricht, verwandelt sich die weltberühmte Shibuya-Kreuzung in ein fesselndes Spektakel, wenn Tausende von Fußgängern in einer bewegten Symphonie aufeinandertreffen und den Wesenskern der energetischen Seele Tokios einfangen. Doch der Charme Tokios erstreckt sich über seine modernen Fassaden hinaus. In den friedlichen Gärten des Kaiserpalastes scheint die Zeit stillzustehen. Während ich durch die sorgfältig gepflegten Landschaften schlendere, umgeben von alten Steinmauern und ruhigen Wassergräben, werde ich in eine andere Ära versetzt, in der das Flüstern der Geschichte in jeder Brise widerhallt. Hier, umgeben von blühenden Kirschbäumen, erinnere ich mich an die flüchtige Schönheit, die diese Stadt jedes Frühjahr ziert und die Landschaft in zarte Rosatöne taucht. Aber Tokio ist nicht nur eine Stadt der Träume und Schönheit; es ist ein Ort der Widerstandsfähigkeit und Stärke. Das Große Kanto-Erdbeben von 1923, die Zerstörungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs und die jüngeren Herausforderungen nach dem Erdbeben und Tsunami von 2011 in der Region Tohoku - all das hat den Geist von Tokio und seinen Bewohnern auf die Probe gestellt. Doch immer wieder ist diese Metropole aus der Asche auferstanden, hat sich wiederaufgebaut und sich mit einer beeindruckenden Entschlossenheit neu erfunden. Während wir uns auf diese Reise begeben, bitte ich Dich, Dein Herz und Deinen Geist für die Wunder von Tokio zu öffnen. Lasse Dich von seiner Energie umhüllen, von seinen Geschichten faszinieren und von seinen Menschen inspirieren. Vom geschäftigen Treiben des Tsukiji-Fischmarktes am frühen Morgen bis zu den ruhigen Abenden, die wir entlang der Ufer des Sumida-Flusses spazieren, ist jeder Moment in Toki o eine Einladung, die Schönheit und Komplexität des Lebens zu umarmen. Also, verehrter Leser, schnalle Dich an und tauche ein in die bezaubernde Welt von "Tokio-Geschichte(n): Als Fremder in der Metropole der 100 Dörfer". Lasse uns gemeinsam durch diese Straßen gehen, geführt vom Geist der Neugierde und einer unerschütterlichen Wertschätzung für das Außergewöhnliche im Gewöhnlichen. Denn in der weiten Metropole Tokio, wo Tradition mit Modernität verschmilzt und Träume zur Realität werden, ist jede Erzählung ein Zeugnis für die Widerstandsfähigkeit, Leidenschaft und unbezwingbaren Geist derer, die diese Stadt ihr Zuhause nennen. Willkommen in Tokio, wo Geschichten wie Kirschblüten im Frühlingswind erblühen. Lasse die Erzählungen weiterhin ihre Magie weben, und möge unsere Reise durch diese belebte Metropole für immer in unseren Herzen verankert bleiben. Ihr Candahashi
Download or read book Global Conjectures written by William C. Kirby and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2006 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the integration of modern China into processes of global exchange and cross-border interaction. The articles explore the broader theme in different ways and in different subfields, ranging from the history of political ideas to the history of institutions, from global migration of people to the transmigration of academic discourses. Focusing on modern as well as contemporary periods, the studies demonstrate that China in the course of the twentieth century became an ever more important nodal point in a complex set of worldwide networks and engagements. The integration into global networks, together with the global consciousness that corresponded with it, made possible significant connections transcending national borders. The essays also show that the effects could be homogenizing (or globalizing), but at the same time the growing interactions also produced opposition and fragmentation.

Download or read book Reading Mark s Gospel as a Text from Collective Memory written by Sandra Huebenthal and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Gospel of Mark come to exist? And how was the memory of Jesus shaped by the experiences of the earliest Christians? For centuries, biblical scholars examined texts as history, literature, theology, or even as story. Curiously absent, however, has been attention to processes of collective memory in the creation of biblical texts. Drawing on modern explorations of social memory, Sandra Huebenthal presents a model for reading biblical texts as collective memories. She demonstrates that the Gospel of Mark is a text evolving from collective narrative memory based on recollections of Jesus’s life and teachings. Huebenthal investigates the principles and structures of how groups remember and how their memory is structured and presented. In the case of Mark’s Gospel, this includes examining which image of Jesus, as well as which authorial self-image, this text as memory constructs. Reading Mark’s Gospel as a Text from Collective Memory serves less as a key to unlock questions about the historical Jesus and more as an examination of memory about him within a particular community, providing a new and important framework for interpreting the earliest canonical gospel in context.

Download or read book Rebellion Community and Custom in Early Modern Germany written by Norbert Schindler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this volume first appeared in German it inspired a whole generation of young scholars. Schindler recreates the lives of both the poor and excluded; the milieu of the burghers; and the rumbustuous lifestyles of the Counts von Zimmern. A true archivist, he evokes the lost worlds of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century people. He investigates popular nicknames, snowball fights, carnival rituals, even what people did at night-time before the advent of lighting. A final essay deals with an extraordinary late set of trials for witchcraft, in which over 200 people died. Translated into English for the first time, the volume contains a new Foreword by Natalie Zemon Davis and a new introductory essay setting out the key influences of Schindler's work. Norbert Schindler is the leading exponent of historical anthropology in the German-speaking world. A founding member of the German journal Historische Anthropologie, Schindler teaches at the University of Salzburg.

Download or read book Poverty and Welfare in Modern German History written by Lutz Raphael and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, the history of German social policy is defined primarily by that nation’s postwar emergence as a model of the European welfare state. As this comprehensive volume demonstrates, however, the question of how to care for the poor has had significant implications for German history throughout the modern era. Here, eight leading historians provide essential case studies and syntheses of current research into German welfare, from the Holy Roman Empire to the present day. Along the way, they trace the parallel historical dynamics that have continued to shape German society, including religious diversity, political exclusion and inclusion, and concepts of race and gender.
Download or read book Early Modern European Diplomacy written by Dorothée Goetze and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.

Download or read book Modern Turkey and the Armenian Genocide written by Nikolaus Schrodt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-07 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of highly informative books have been written about what is often called the "Armenian Genocide". This book, written by a political scientist, offers a different approach: It doesn’t concentrate on the past; it concentrates on the present, and shows how this past event is perceived and discussed today. The idea is that the arguments deployed in this debate, those which allege that what happened amounts to genocide and those which deny this claim reveal something about cognitive structures of present agents, such as the Turkish government, as well as about the meaning and use of the term "genocide". Analyzing current positions and communication on this historical event thereby helps to illuminate present notions of identity, justice and interethnic coexistence.
