Online Dispute Resolution: Theory and Practice: A Treatise on Technology and Dispute Resolution
No full textOnline mediation is spreading rapidly as a mode of practice. In this chapter, Ebner surveys the development of e-mediation within the wider context of ODR growth. Next, the chapter presents a snapshot of the field's status quo with respect to stakeholders, modes of communication and the technology utilized, Finally, the chapter addresses substantive and process issues in e-mediation: mediation process models, stages and issues; practitioner skills; professional issues; ethics and practitioner standards.|The author identifies current trends in the fields and makes several predictions regarding the field's future development, including the adoption of online mediation by solo practitioners (as opposed to "service provider" firms), the rise of video-conferencing (primarily through low-cost, familiar platforms) and the somewhat counter-intuitive implementation of online mediation in disputes involving strong relational elements, such as divorce, community and workplace issues.357-38
Ebner\u27s Ethical Creatures: Animals and Humanity in the Work of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textThis dissertation situates the work of Austrian author Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach within late nineteenth-century historical and social developments in Europe, especially those having to do with animals, as they are presented in literature of the period more generally. I devote particular attention to the ethical aims of Ebner\u27s animal representation in the context of nineteenth-century German-speaking Europe\u27s understanding of the human-animal relationship.
I investigate Ebner\u27s portrayals of animals and the social goals of employing such representations; questions raised by human-animal comparison and the social criticism undertaken by aligning human and animal characteristics; and literary and ethical implications of human-animal relationships. I analyze the manner in which Ebner portrays human behavior inspired by, influenced by, and directed at animals and the attribution of various degrees of cognition and emotion to animals themselves. Whether imagined by human characters in the texts or communicated to the reader via narrative identification with animal figures to inspire reader sympathy and empathy, Ebner\u27s depictions of animals draw heavily on nineteenth-century developments in attitudes toward the human-animal relationship and the status of nonhuman animals.
To put Ebner\u27s work in dialog with other European writers and demonstrate her participation in a pan-European trend in literary animal depictions, I treat additional novels, novellas, and poetry by writers including Theodor Storm, Theodor Fontane, Paul Heyse, Leo Tolstoy, and Émile Zola, as well as periodicals and activist and scientific writing from Germany, Austria, France, Russia, and England

La verità della parola. La critica di Ebner all’idealismo e alla filosofia in generale
No full textIl saggio esamina l'aspra critica del filosofo austriaco Ebner all'idealismo di Hegel e alla filosofia in generale, che giudica incapaci di comprendere adeguatamente la realtà spirituale. Per comprendere il "pensiero dialogico" dell'autore, si suggerisce prima un'analogia tra Ebner e il saltimbanco Jof del film "Il settimo sigillo" di Bergman, poi si propone un parallelismo tra il pensiero di Ebner e quello di Hamann, che in modo simile rifletteva sui limiti della ragione e sulla parola che non è riducibile a concetto, in particolare nel caso della dimensione dello Spirituale e della fede. Si cerca infine di trarre un bilancio che tenga insieme l'esigenza della razionalità e l'inesauribilità della fede senza contrapporle radicalmente.The paper examines the fierce criticism of the Austrian philosopher Ebner to the idealism of Hegel and to philosophy more generally, which he deems unable to account for the spiritual dimension. In order to understand the "dialogic thought" of the author, this paper first proposes an analogy between Ebner and the acrobat player Jof of the movie "The Seventh Seal" by Ingmar Bergman. The paper then carries out a comparison between the thought of Ebner and that of Hamann, who also reflected on the limits of reason and of the word as something that cannot be simply defined as concept, particularly in the case of the dimensions of Spirituality and faith. In the conclusion, the paper examines the actual possibility of finding a balance between the need for rationalism and the infiniteness of faith
Self-actualization in representative works of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textThis thesis presents a new evaluation of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach\u27s figure conception by examining the theme of self-actualization in representative works of the author. The theme is defined first according to its psychological and social properties, and second, according to its established tradition in Western literature. Employing selected works of Ebner-Eschenbach in which the theme appears prominently, the figure conception proves to be a key indicator of the author\u27s highly critical world view. A large percentage of figures are engaged in a process of development. Few realize the goal of self-perfection. The traits inherited by birth and the pressure exerted upon the individual from the family and society prohibit a broad range of individuals, from the peasant to the aristocrat, from achieving the desired balance between personal needs and outside expectations. While the author expresses optimism that every individual possesses great potential, she clearly emphasizes the danger posed to this innate ability by social forces beyond individual control. The narratives confirm that unless dominant forces are kept in check, the welfare and further existence of mankind, especially of women and children, is in danger. The analysis of the author\u27s subtle yet powerful social commentary is a neglected aspect of her works and one which should be considered in the future
Motifs slaves dans les lettres autrichiennes du XIXe siècle: tentative de compréhension et de synthèse dans le cas de Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textMarie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) was born and grew up in Moravia. Despite the fact that her very first language was Czech, all her literary work was written in German ; despite of her Czech origins from her fatherside, all the references to be found in her work concerning the social and national development of the Czech society of that time express, if not animosity, at least a total lack of understanding. Everthing happens as if the author just wanted to confirm and uphold the official views of the Austrian Monarchy.
In this article, I’d like to show, mainly on the example of the novel Božena (1876), that a more careful reading which would take into account not only the textual statements of the writer, but as well the composition of the plot and the various behaviors of the Czech and German protagonists, could allow to bring nuances to Ebner-Eschenbach’s position towards the Czech – namely to see that she was perfectly aware and respectful of the cultural diversity and complexity of the Czech lands and that she felt a deep compassion for the claims of the minorities asking for the transformation of the Habsburg Empire into a Federation of free nations
Metaphern und instruktionale Muster im wirtschaftsberuflichen Unterricht
No full textIm Rahmen der Studie 4 sollten die Befunde der Pilotstudien 1 und 2 repliziert und einer wei-tergehenden Prüfung unterzogen werden: Neben der Klärung der Frage, mit welchen Meta-phern die (prospektive) Lehrertätigkeit umschrieben werden kann, werden Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Metaphernpräferenz von Studierenden der Wirtschaftspädagogik (N=287) eruiert. Es lassen sich in mehreren Erhebungen – wie in Lehmann & Ebner (2011) aufgezeigt – konstant sozio-kulturell bedingte Präferenzen und Übereinstimmungen nachweisen. Die Metaphernbegründung spielt – wie z.B. von Inbar (1996) und Lehmann & Ebner (2011) vermutet – eine entscheidende Rolle. Die auf Basis der Pilotstudien (siehe z.B. Lehmann & Ebner, 2011) und Literaturauswertungen modifizierten Metaphern können zu einem stabilen Set an Metaphern verdichtet werden. Es bestehen – wie in Saban, Kocbeker & Saban (2007) und Lehmann & Ebner (2011) – ähnliche substanzielle Unterschiede; weitere konnten identifiziert werden. Die Hypothesen aus Lehmann & Ebner (2011) werden ebenfalls durch die Ergebnisse der Studie 4 (zumindest partiell) gestützt: (1) Einige Metaphern identifiziert, die sich konstant für die Umschreibung der Lehrertätigkeit von Studierenden der Wirtschaftspädagogik eignen. (2) Ein weiterer Schritt in die Richtung eines stabilen Sets an Metaphern ist unternommen – jedoch sollte es in einer weiteren Untersuchung effizient(er) gestaltet werden, ohne Einbußen bzgl. Reliabilität & Validität (z.B. „Orchestrierung“ berücksichtigen). (3) Weitere individuelle Unterschiede wurden ermittelt, auf die in weiteren Studien zu achten sein wird (z.B. Kontrollvariablen bei Vergleichsgruppenzusammensetzung). Die erforderlich erscheinende Weiterentwicklung des Erhebungsinstruments und eine mögliche Verknüpfung mit instruktionalen Mustern im wirtschaftsberuflichen Unterricht (nach Fertigstellung des Instruments) werden diskutiert
»Imeti in ne dati je v nekaterih primerih slabše kot krasti«: Moč sočutja pri Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textIm folgenden Beitrag werden drei Erzählungen einer der eminentesten deutschsprachigen Autorinnen des 19. Jahrhunderts, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, vor dem Hintergrund der narrativen Empathie näher untersucht. In den ausgewählten literarischen Texten treten als Protagonisten Tiere, Kinder und/oder Repräsentanten niedrigerer gesellschaftlicher Schichten auf, denen die Autorin ein ausgeprägtes Mitgefühl entgegenbringt. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, auf was für eine Art und Weise den Leserinnen und Lesern dieses Mitgefühl vermittelt wird, welche erzähltechnischen Mittel dafür verwendet werden und was für eine Wirkung die Texte auf die Rezipienten ausüben. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Autorin trotz der Tatsache, dass sie der gehobenen, adeligen Gesellschaftsschicht entstammte, aufgrund ihrer Anteilnahme, ihrer präzisen, scharfsichtigen Beobachtungsgabe und ihres Sinns für Ironie, ihres sozialen Engagements sowie ihres schriftstellerischen Könnens mit ihren literarischen Texten eine wichtige gesellschafts- und sozialkritische Aufgabe erfüllte und das Mitgefühl ihrer Zeitgenossinnen und Zeitgenossen unmittelbar ansprach, weswegen ihre Texte noch heute relevant und (wieder) aktuell sind. The article uses the eco-ethical approach to examine selected narratives of one of the most eminent German-language authors of the 19th century, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach. The focus is on exploring the role of empathy in her selected narratives. Literary texts featuring either children or animals as main protagonists take center stage. What influence did the author, who held a highly respected position in society, exert on her contemporaries? The investigation reveals that despite belonging to an elevated, aristocratic social stratum, the author included important societal critique in her literary texts, owing to her empathy, keen and precise observational skills, and social engagement.Z ekološko-etičnim pristopom članek preučuje izbrane pripovedi ene najpomembnejših avtoric 19. stoletja, avstrijske prozaistke Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach. V središču zanimanja je vloga empatije in sočutja v njenih kratkih zgodbah, v katerih nastopajo v osrednji vlogi živali, otroci in deprivilegirani člani družbe. Kakšen vpliv je imela avtorica, ki je imela zaradi svojega statusa v družbi privilegiran položaj, na svoje sodobnike? Kakšno vlogo igra v njenih literarnih besedilih empatija? Članek razkriva, da je avtorici kljub temu, da je pripadala višjemu, plemiškemu družbenemu razredu, z natančnim, ostrim darom opazovanja, empatično noto ter ironijo, s katero se je lotevala svojih stanovskih kolegov, uspelo ustvariti etično močna literarna besedila, s katerimi je močno vplivala tako na sodobno literarno produkcijo kot na družbo na splošno.
