Download or read book Die Macht des Ged chtnisses Entstehung und Wandel kommunaler Schriftkultur im sp tmittelalterlichen Augsburg written by Mathias Franc Kluge and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Studie eröffnet einen neuen Blick auf den Entstehungsprozess kommunaler Schriftkultur in einer europäischen Großstadt des Spätmittelalters. Dabei zeigt die Geschichte der umfangreichen Überlieferung Augsburgs, wie mehrere Generationen städtischer Autoritäten im Zuge wachsender Emanzipation zunehmend auf Schriftlichkeit angewiesen waren und eigene Bedürfnisse der Archivierung ausprägten. Die Verschriftlichung war ein komplexer Prozess, der wichtige Lebensbereiche und Teile der städtischen Gesellschaft in unterschiedlicher Zeit und Intensität erfasste. Weniger als bisher angenommen ging es dabei um die pragmatische Effektivierung des Regierungshandelns. Die Antriebskraft der Verschriftlichung im Spätmittelalter entsprang einem wachsenden Bedürfnis nach Kontrolle und Überprüfbarkeit.

Download or read book The Switch Image written by Lorenz Engell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television is the most powerful system of images in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Nonetheless, TV has attained only little philosophical attention so far, especially compared to other (visual) media such as film. This book looks at TV as what happens on the screen and beyond it; which is mainly the operation of switching images. It therefore proposes a new definition of TV as the first picture that can be switched on, off, and over, which stresses that TV is more tactile than visual. Through the operation of switching, TV figures the world from within and as the course of its figuration. This is grasped here by the term of “ontography”. Through the ongoing interlacing and bridging of “TV 1.0” (the image is being switched) and “TV 2.0” (the image is a switch), TV exponentially increases the production and circulation of images. It transforms the world and itself from an analogue state to a digital one and from central perspectivism to pluri-perspective. In terms of time, through switching and the switch, it develops and reworks new temporal orderings, such as instantaneity, synchronicity, flow, and seriality. TV makes its own history. In space, it creates a mediasphere as its habitat and hence new forms of being-in-the-world, of proximity and distance, and scale. Anthropologically, it works on what a subject and an object is, on what makes the human being, and ontographically, how it is possible that there is something at all instead of nothing: through switch-images.
Download or read book Ice and Snow in the Cold War written by Julia Herzberg and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Cold War has focused overwhelmingly on statecraft and military power, an approach that has naturally placed Moscow and Washington center stage. Meanwhile, regions such as Alaska, the polar landscapes, and the cold areas of the Soviet periphery have received little attention. However, such environments were of no small importance during the Cold War: in addition to their symbolic significance, they also had direct implications for everything from military strategy to natural resource management. Through histories of these extremely cold environments, this volume makes a novel intervention in Cold War historiography, one whose global and transnational approach undermines the simple opposition of “East” and “West.”
Download or read book Nominale Flexionsmorphologie in den ostoberdeutschen Dialekten Bayerns written by Grit Nickel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Arbeit fokussiert die nominale Flexionsmorphologie der ostoberdeutschen Dialekte in ihrer Systematik. Dialekte sind insbesondere für Fragen zum morphologischen Wandel relevant, da sie im Vergleich zum Standard gesprochensprachlichen Wandel besser repräsentieren. Gleichzeitig weisen Dialekte spezifischen Wandel in Phonologie und an der Schnittstelle von Phonologie und Morphologie auf. Die kontrastive Studie dialektaler Flexionsverfahren unter varianten phonologischen Voraussetzungen kann hier zeigen, wo die formale Varianz phonologisch bedingt ist, wo sie das Ergebnis genuin morphologischer Prozesse ist und wo beide Ebenen interagieren. Damit verbindet die Studie die synchrone, diachrone und areale Perspektive.Mit dem Ziel, die Spezifika und Gemeinsamkeiten der nominalen Numerus- und Kasusflexion für die drei Teilräume des Ostoberdeutschen (Ostfränkisch, Nord- und Mittelbairisch) in ihrer Systematik kontrastiv darzustellen, wurde für 37 Ortsdialekte und die syntaktische Einheit aus Definitartikel und Substantiv Datenmaterial des Forschungsprojekts Bayerischer Sprachatlas ausgewertet. Der erste Teil der Datenauswertung fokussiert die Formenbildung des Substantivs, wobei das Ziel der Untersuchung nicht nur in einer Inventarisierung der einzelnen (evtl. dialektraumspezifischen) Markierungsstrategien für Numerus und Kasus besteht, sondern in der Erfassung des Systems. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils stehen die Struktur der dialektalen Deklinationsklassensysteme und die Frage, inwiefern Deklinationsklassen diachron und synchron zu außerflexivischer Konditionierung tendieren (z.B. durch semantische oder phonotaktisch-prosodische Faktoren). Der dritte Teil der Datenauswertung behandelt schließlich den morphosyntaktischen Kontext und die Frage, wo Numerus und Kasus in der Nominalphrase markiert werden und inwiefern die Markierung durch morphologische oder syntaktische Mittel oder durch Disambiguierung im semantisch-pragmatischen Kontext erfolgt. Abschließend erfolgt eine Diskussion der Ergebnisse vor dem Hintergrund von Grammatikmodellen, die morphologischen Wandel, Sprachgebrauch und Kognition fokussieren. This book comprises a systematic analysis of the nominal inflectional systems of 37 local dialects of the East Upper German variety (i.e., East Franconian, North and Central Bavarian), analyzing data drawn from the research project Bavarian Linguistic Atlas (Bayerischer Sprachatlas). The surveyed dialects show a wide spectrum of variation with regard to dialect-specific phonological change and subsequently exhibit variation at the interface of phonology and morphology, making a contrastive study of dialect morphology worthwhile. The first part of the data analysis focuses on number and case marking strategies, surveying the local dialects’ allomorphs from a synchronic and diachronic perspective. The second part addresses the structure of dialect declension classes, specifically focusing on superior assignment principles. In a third step, noun phrases are included into the analysis, widening the focus to the more general question of whether the coding of plural (or case) information is necessarily attributed to inflectional morphology, or whether plural (or case) coding has to be located at the interface between morphology, syntax and context. Finally, the data analysis is followed by a discussion, covering theoretical (namely usage-based) approaches on morphological change
Download or read book Clothing Sacred Scriptures written by David Ganz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a longstanding interpretation, book religions are agents of textuality and logocentrism. This volume inverts the traditional perspective: its focus is on the strong dependency between scripture and aesthetics, holy books and material artworks, sacred texts and ritual performances. The contributions, written by a group of international specialists in Western, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish Art, are committed to a comparative and transcultural approach. The authors reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and elaborate forms. They show how the pretypographic cultures of the Middle Ages used book ornaments as media for building a close relation between the divine words and their human audience. By exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the religious use of books shapes the evolution of artistic practices this book contributes to a new understanding of the deep nexus between sacred scripture and art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vienna Gestapo headquarters was the largest of its kind in the German Reich and the most important instrument of Nazi terror in Austria, responsible for the persecution of Jews, suppression of resistance and policing of forced labourers. Of the more than fifty thousand people arrested by the Vienna Gestapo, many were subjected to torturous interrogation before being either sent to concentration camps or handed over to the Nazi judiciary for prosecution. This comprehensive survey by three expert historians focuses on these victims of repression and persecution as well as the structure of the Vienna Gestapo and the perpetrators of its crimes.

Download or read book Gr ne Infrastruktur Green Infrastructure written by Bund Deutscher Landschaftsarchitekten and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The more intensively we exploit the urban and rural landscape, the greater the demands we place on our environment and what it can provide. Demographic change, shrinking cities, urban expansion, climate change and the transition to renewable energy sources are confronting us with challenges of ever greater magnitude. Solar fields and bio-energy crops are changing the face of the landscape and new traffic and energy infrastructure criss-crosses the countryside. Meanwhile, vast efforts are being made to adapt existing infrastructure to meet changing demands. In the process, it has once again become clear that we must consider our use of natural resources not just from a local perspective but within a broader context. Green infrastructure strategies can take quite different forms, ranging from floodwater protection measures to the integration of traffic and energy systems and the development of urban green. The goal for society is to improve the diversity and resilience of our environment and to minimize the effects of climate change. In essays, interviews and profiles of the best realized projects from the past few years, Green Infrastructure examines the challenges and tasks facing contemporary landscape architecture and what it can achieve to address them. This book is published on the occasion of the awarding of the German Landscape Architecture Prize 2015.
Download or read book Culture in Nazi Germany written by Michael H. Kater and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and insightful history of how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed under the Nazis Culture was integral to the smooth running of the Third Reich. In the years preceding WWII, a wide variety of artistic forms were used to instill a Nazi ideology in the German people and to manipulate the public perception of Hitler's enemies. During the war, the arts were closely tied to the propaganda machine that promoted the cause of Germany's military campaigns. Michael H. Kater's engaging and deeply researched account of artistic culture within Nazi Germany considers how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed when the Nazis came to power. With a broad purview that ranges widely across music, literature, film, theater, the press, and visual arts, Kater details the struggle between creative autonomy and political control as he looks at what became of German artists and their work both during and subsequent to Nazi rule.
