Controllability and Persistence of Money Market Rates along the Yield Curve: Evidence from the Euro Area
No full textControllability of longer-term interest rates requires that the persistence of their deviations from the central bank's policy rate (i.e. the policy spreads) remains suciently low. This paper applies fractional integration techniques to assess the persistence of policy spreads of euro area money market rates along the yield curve. Independently from anticipated policy rate changes, there is strong evidence for all maturities that policy spreads exhibit long memory. We show that recent changes in the operational framework and the communication strategy of the European Central Bank have significantly decreased the persistence of euro area policy spreads and, thus, have enhanced the central bank's influence on longer-term money market rates.Long memory and fractional integration, controllability and persistence of interest rates, new operational framework of the ECB

Die ‚noethische‘ Funktion von Wissenschaftssprache und -mustern bei Ulrike Draesner
No full textUlrike Draesner, in her multifaceted activity as a scholar, translator, essayist, but above all author of poetry
and prose, develops a discourse on the body, landscapes and memory that is always polyphonic and cross-
linguistic. Memory travels through unexpected connections between areas of knowledge and experience,
capable of linking organic and inorganic nature, ancient world memory, individual and collective historical
memory and post-memory, theory of knowledge and ethics of living together among people, between
humans and things, between human kind and nature.
In my contribution I will be trying, through case-studies, to highlight the poetic, ethical, creative, therefore
po(i)ethical role played by scientific languages and lexika in Ulrike Draesner's writing.
As a “poeta docta”, Draesner is an artist and not as a scientist or philosopher. The aggregations of sense and
memory do not only travel on the logic of images and themes, but also on the surprising intersections
between sense and sound, as well as between different languages

TRAUM: Transforming Author Museums, 2019
No full textWhat roles have author museums as creators of cultural identity? What kind of representations do they use to communicate knowledge about literature and its authors? How are real and literary spaces, texts and objects interlinked? Author museums are in the public imagination often associated with an old-fashioned cult of the author, they are being transformed into interactive spaces in line with changing understandings of literature, developments in exhibition practices and larger processes of democratization. This interdisciplinary project aimed to provide analyses of museums as cultural texts and performative spaces of memory and production. In the past years, the alleged crisis of the humanities has been a recurring topic of debate. While criticism has been levelled at the humanities for lack of relevance, informal polls made in various countries across Europe asking for the most important personality in national history have consistently placed artists on the top, often writers, and in the case of Norway, Henrik Ibsen. There is a paradoxical relationship between the discourse of the uselessness of humanities and the actual interest in and identification with some of its actors. The project aimed to investigate how and why (certain) writers and literature have been turned into cultural heritage, helped by the display of auratic places such as their homes in combination with the aestheticization of personal "relics" within specific cultural-political contexts. Combining humanities, social sciences and artistic perspectives, it will critically reflect on existing and historical exhibition strategies and consider alternative and innovative ways of displaying literature, focusing on the potentials of author museums and other literary museums and centres as sites of cultural production and literary creativity. On a meta-level the project aimed to contribute to a better understanding of how to communicate the relevance of humanities to the public. The project is part of the NFR project “TRAUM-Transforming Author Museums (251225)”. The focus of the sub-project is on exhibitions in author homes. The analysis includes the role of archival material in exhibitions (published article by Ulrike Spring), communication processes in literary museums and the author's role as ghost in author homes (articles in preparation by Ulrike Spring and Johan Schimanski).
