The sealed room : Lou Andreas-Salomé and Anaïs Nin : a study in the genesis of fiction
No full textThis study explores the relationship between female identity
formation within patriarchal society and women's literary
discourse.
The 'Introduction' serves to highlight Lou Andreas-Salomé's
and Anaïs Nin's acute awareness of the tradional conflict
between the role of artist and the role of woman. With both
writers, their efforts to come to terms with their own creative
powers involve tentative questions about the function of
writing itself, which they both experience as a vital need.
Part One of the study, therefore, addresses itself to reflecting
the role of language as a basic means of socialization, which
produces genderized subjects. This is related to the power of
language to enable the construction of identity. Patriarchal
culture produces woman as man's complementary Other. Questions
of female identity and desire thus gain particular importance
for the writer who strives to constitute her identity as
autonomous subject.
The first two chapters of Part Two focus on the problems that
confront the women who, within the process of writing assume
creative powers that are traditionally conceived as male prerogatives.
The internalized image of woman as mother operates
as a powerful impediment to creative self-assertion. An equally
fundamental obstacle in the writer's quest for literary authority
are the problematic links each writer establishes between
a masculinized creator God, paternal authority and cultural
discourse. Transcending their culturally induced duality between
woman and creator Lou Andreas-Salomé and Anaïs Nin develop
opposed literary strategies. Yet both resort to non-threatening
female stereotypes that are able to accommodate their anxiety of
authorship. Chapters III and IV revolve around the experience
of writing itself in terms of a re-construction of inherited
meanings and the woman's problem of creating her own meanings.
Chapter V concentrates on the gaps that structure either
writer's discourse and contribute to making it impossible
to establish the woman as subject of desire.
Chapter VI explores the ways in which internalized concepts
of femininity work to limit the freedom of the imagination,
reduce the field of vision and result in projecting transgressive
female desires in disguised or displaced form.
The 'Conclusion' stresses the inadequacy of existing
controversial attitudes to both writers and highlights
significant differences between the fiction of Lou Andreas-Salomé and Anaïs Nin
Andreas: an edition
No full textThis is the first edition of Andreas for 55 years, also the first to present the Anglo-Saxon, or rather Old English, text with a parallel Modern English poetic translation. The book aims not only to provide both students and scholars with an up-to-date text and introduction and notes, but also to reconfirm the canonical merit of Andreas as one of the longest and most important works in Old English literature. The introduction to our text is substantial, re-positioning this poem in respect of nearly six decades’ progress in the palaeography, sources and analogues, language, metrics, literary criticism and archaeology of Andreas. The book argues that the poet was Mercian, that he was making ironic reference to Beowulf and that his story of St Andrew converting pagan Mermedonian cannibals was coloured by King Alfred’s wars against the Danes (871-9, 885-6, 892-6). Andreas is here dated to Alfred’s later reign with such analysis of contexts in history and ideology that the author’s name is also hypothesized. The Old English text and Modern English translation of Andreas are presented in a split-page format, allowing students at whatever level of familiarity with the Anglo-Saxon vernacular to gain a direct access to the poem in close to its original form. The translation follows the poem’s word order and style, allowing modern readers to feel the imagination, ideology and humour of Andreas as closely as possible. The text of the Old English poem is accompanied by a full set of supporting notes, and a glossary representing the translation

We must combine conservation of nature with benefits to society. Interview by Gaby Allheilig with Andreas Heinimann on IPBES' Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
No full textOn 6 May 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) presented its report on the state of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. The first such assessment since 2005, it concludes that biodiversity and ecosystem loss has reached the point where it threatens human well-being. The researchers involved recommend several urgent measures to political decision-makers. Andreas Heinimann of CDE was the one Swiss scientist who worked as a lead author on a chapter of the report

Current motion on faults of the San Andreas system in central California inferred from recent GPS and terrestrial survey measurements
No full textThe San Andreas fault system of California comprises dominantly right-lateral strike-slip faults and forms part of the Pacific-North American plate boundary. This fault system has been studied extensively using geological and geophysical methods since it was first brought into prominence by the 1906 M = 8(^1)(_4) San Francisco earthquake. Observations of surface deformation thought to define an earthquake deformation cycle have been inferred from terrestrial and space-based geodetic methods. The observed relative motion in these networks has also been used to constrain the distribution of motion across the plate boundary. Sites in three profiles extending across the fault system in the San Francisco bay region were measured up to 7 times between March 1990 and February 1993 using the Global Positioning System (GPS). The data were processed using the Bernese V3.2 software. The GPS data were combined with trilateration and VLBI data to create a spatially dense sample of the deformation field in the region. Approximately 35±3 mm/yr of fault-parallel (N33ºW) shear is distributed across a deforming zone that increases in width northwards from 60 to 100 km and in style from fault-concentrated deformation in the south to near-linear trends in the north. No systematic convergence upon the fault is observed. Both two- and three-dimensional models of dislocations in an elastic half-space were used to model the deformation and to investigate the effects of structural complexities such as a low-rigidity fault zone, the depth to which surface creep extends, geometrical complexities of the fault system and along-strike variations in slip rate. The models produce a remarkably close fit to the deformation despite such a rheologically simple Earth structure. Approximately half of the observed deformation is accommodated along faults to the east of the San Andreas fault. A zone of concentrated deformation across the San Andreas fault zone in the north of the region may be the result of a 1-2 km wide low-rigidity fault zone there. Surface creep rates, although highly variable, appear to increase to the south. An increase in depth of the surface creep zone to the south may also accompany this. The variations in slip rate at depth along strike are consistent with connectivity between the major faults of the system. Quasi-steady slip on discrete fault planes or shear zones may occur down to 2-3 times the seismogenic depth and deformation rates are probably almost constant throughout much of the earthquake cycle. The present earthquake potential calculated from the estimated slip rates indicate that several fault segments may have an earthquake potential equivalent in magnitude to the "characteristic" earthquake assumed for that segment. The estimates of relative motion indicate that deformation across the San Andreas fault system, plus that observed to the east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, can account for all of the Pacific-North American plate motion rate

Value quantification
No full textThis chapter explores the concept and practice of value quantification, emphasizing its crucial role in effectively communicating product offerings in industrial markets. Rather than relying solely on product characteristics, successful sales strategies involve translating unique selling points into quantifiable customer-specific economic value. The chapter synthesizes existing marketing and pricing literature, presenting a comprehensive model that categorizes benefits and sacrifices into quantitative and qualitative dimensions relevant to both B2B and B2C contexts. The author delineates a systematic approach for quantifying customer value, highlighting practical methodologies such as economic value analysis and conjoint analysis. Furthermore, the chapter underscores the managerial implications of value quantification, including enhanced pricing strategies, improved negotiation positions, reduced discounting, and performance-based pricing opportunities. Through detailed frameworks and real-world examples, the chapter provides actionable insights for effectively leveraging quantified value to gain competitive advantage and drive customer purchasing decisions
Family Virtues and Social Critique: Andreas Latzko’s Anti-War Prose (1917-1918)
No full textBetween 1917 and 1918, the Austro-Hungarian author Andreas Latzko (1876-1943) wrote three separate publications against the Great War: Menschen im Krieg (1917), Friedensgericht (1918), and Der letzte Mann (published 1919). Literary historians tend to bypass these works, and the few who note them chiefly focus on the best-selling novella cycle Menschen im Krieg (1917). It is usually presented as an example of expressionist political prose, or as a mixture of social satire and aesthetic shock-tactics that chiefly remains indebted to realist traditions, albeit with occasional incursions into expressionistic styles..
