Corneille, Molière et les autres. Stilometrische Analysen zu Autorschaft und Gattungszugehörigkeit im französischen Theater der Klassik
No full textThe digital age, by making large amounts of text available to us, prompts us to develop new and additional reading strategies supported by the use of computers and enabling us to deal with such amounts of text. One such "distant reading" strategy is stylometry, a method of quantitative text analysis which relies on the frequencies of certain linguistic features such as words, letters or grammatical units to statistically assess the relative similarity of texts to each other and to classify texts on this basis. This method is applied here to French drama of the seventeenth century, more precisely to the now famous "Corneille / Molière- controversy". In this controversy, some researchers claim that Pierre Corneille wrote several of the plays traditionally attributed to Molière. The methodological challenge, it is shown here, lies in the fact that categories such as authorship, genre (comedy vs. tragedy) and literary form (prose vs. verse) all have an influence on stylometric distance measures and classification. Cross-genre and cross-form authorship attribution needs to distinguish such competing signals if it is to produce reliable attribution results. This contribution describes two attempts to accomplish this, parameter optimization and feature-range selection. The contribution concludes with some more general remarks about the use of quantitative methods in a hermeneutic discipline such as literary studies

Adam, Eva und der erste Hermaphrodit
No full textPlaymo-Luther. Bild: Christof Rolker; Lizenz: CC BY. In der mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen christlichen Exegese taucht immer wieder die Beteuerung, dass Adam kein Hermaphrodit gewesen sei auf, oft mit dem Hinweis darauf, dass dies eine von "den Juden" oder "einigen Rabbinen" vertretene Position sei. Martin Luther († 1546) ist hier einschlägig, wenn er in seinen Genesis-Vorlesungen von 1535 Nikolaus von Lyras Postillae, die er bekanntlich sehr schätzte, für die "jüdische Fabel" vom he..

A Life Interrupted: Essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns
No full textThis volume of essays, A life interrupted: essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns, honours Christof Heyns, renowned human rights lawyer, advocate, activist and educator, but also down-to-earth family man, friend and colleague. Christof’s sudden and most untimely passing on 28 March 2021 deeply saddened those close to him but also evinced an outpouring of grief from the national and international human rights community. His passing brought a deep sense of loss, in part because, at age 62, he was fully engaged in contributing to the betterment of society and still had so much more to give. His is a life interrupted. But at the same time, looking back over the varied lives he lived, he had already left his mark in so many ways. His influences and impacts are manifold and magical. This collection not only testifies to the legacy that he has left us, but also to the ongoing efforts of many to continue building on his legacy.
This collection contains two sets of essays by family members, friends, colleagues, collaborators and students. Part A contains essays of a more reflective and personal nature, while the contributions in Part B link to the scholarly or academic themes Christof had worked on and explored, including international human rights systems, international law, the right to life, freedom of association, international humanitarian law, the impact of human rights treaties, constitutionalism and legal philosophy. However, a neat distinction between the personal and professional is not possible in respect of such a warm, generous and enthusiastic person as Christof. Most of the essays in Part A integrate some of Christof’s professional and academic achievements, while many of the essays in Part B also reflect on Christof as a person.
The editors, all based at the Faculty of Law, UP, are colleagues and friends who worked closely with Christof. Frans Viljoen succeeded Christof as Director of the Centre for Human Rights. Christof was his doctoral supervisor, mentor and research collaborator. Charles Fombad worked with Christof at ICLA, and took over as ICLA Director after Christof’s passing. Dire Tladi, an ICLA fellow, had his office just across from Christof in ICLA. As member of the International Law Commission, he shared with Christof high level engagement with the UN. While Christof served on the Human Rights Committee, his colleague Ann Skelton serves on the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Magnus Killander worked closely with Christof as co-author and co-editor. Christof was also his doctoral supervisor.
The publication date of this book is 10 January 2022, which is the date marking 63 years since Christof’s birth. The publisher is the Pretoria University Law Press (PULP), of which Christof was also a founder.PublishedThis volume of essays, A life interrupted: essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns, honours Christof Heyns, renowned human rights lawyer, advocate, activist and educator, but also down-to-earth family man, friend and colleague.

Römische Skulpturen im Museum von Anamur in Kilikien
No full textDas Museum von Anamur besitzt 25 römische Steindenkmäler (Skulpturen, Stelen, Votivaltäre, Sarkophage und Ostotheken), die hauptsächlich aus dem Rauhen Kilikien stammen und das materielle Erbe des Rauhes Kilikien zwischen frührömischer Zeit und dem 4. Jh. n. Chr. reflektieren. Um einen aktuellen Blick auf diese Materialgruppe zu werfen, bietet dieser Aufsatz einen detaillierten Katalog der Objekte. Aus vielen Gründen sind diese Skulpturen typisch für das Rauhe Kilikien. Diese Studie soll durch die Katalogisierung der Skulpturen einen Beitrag zur Valorisierung der Museen der türkischen Südküste leisten und unsere Kenntnisse zu den Steindenkmälern in Kleinasien erweitern.The Museum of Anamur in Cilicia houses 25 pieces of ancient stone monuments (sculptures, steles, votive altars, sarcophagi and ostothecs) originating mostly from Rough Cilicia and mirroring the material heritage of Rough Cilicia from the Early Roman Imperial period to the 4th century A. D. In order to give an updated insight into the material, a detailed catalogue of these objects is presented here. For many reasons, the sculptures of this museum are typical for Rough Cilicia. This is also a contribution to the valorisation of museums in southern Turkey and aims to encourage the collection and broadening of knowledge of stone monuments in Asia Minor.Lafli Ergün, Christof Eva.

Neue Transkriptions- und Übersetzungsvorschläge zu 43 Inschriften aus Hadrianopolis und seiner Chora in Paphlagonien
No full textNeue Transkriptions-und Übersetzungsvorschläge zu 43 Inschriften aus Hadrianopolis und seiner Chora in Paphlagonien.
Die antike Stadt Hadrianopolis im Becken von Eskipazar lag nach der in der Antike gültigen Landesgliederung im südwestlichen Paphlagonien. Heute untersteht die antike Stätte verwaltungstechnisch der Stadt Eskipazar und als nächst größerer Einheit der Stadt Karabük. Während die kaiserzeitlichen Inschriften aus dem Stadtgebiet von Hadrianopolis nicht allzu zahlreich sind, muss die Chora von Hadrianopolis nach Ausweis der Grabdenkmäler des 2. bis 4. Jh. n. Chr. sehr dicht besiedelt gewesen sein. Die Stadt Hadrianopolis erlebte besonders in frühbyzantinischer Zeit, in der 1. Hälfte des 6. Jh. n. Chr., eine Blüte. Dies verdeutlichen die ebenfalls unter der Leitung von E. Laflı jüngst ergrabenen Kirchen, die sog. Basilika A und Basilika B, mit ihrer eindrucksvollen Mosaikenausstattung, sowie zahlreiche weitere byzantinische Gebäude und Funde. Alle Inschriften, die hier präsentiert werden, wurden bereits in E. Laflı/ E. Christof’s Buch über die neuen epigraphischen Funde aus der antiken Stadt Hadrianopolis und ihrer Chora in Paphlagonien publiziert. Sie waren in den Jahren 2005 bis 2008 in den von E. Laflı geleiteten archäologischen Prospektionen und Ausgrabungen erstmals entdeckt und dokumentiert worden. Seit der Publikation von 2012 und den Reaktionen darauf ist es erforderlich geworden, diese Funde noch ein Mal zu editieren und zu aktualisieren. In diesem Aufsatz werden 42 Inschriften bzw. Fragmente behandelt, die erst durch die Publikation von Laflı & Christof bekannt geworden sind. Demnach bildet dieser Aufsatz die zweite Publikation sowie die Korrektur bzw. Aktualisierung der ersten Publikation von 2012.Christof Eva, Lafli Ergün. Neue Transkriptions- und Übersetzungsvorschläge zu 43 Inschriften aus Hadrianopolis und seiner Chora in Paphlagonien.

On Comparison of Mechanisms of Economic and Social Exchanges: The Times Model
No full textAn e-market system is a concrete implementation of a market institution; it embeds one or more exchange mechanisms. The mechanisms are – from the economic point of view – disembodied objects (models and procedures) which control access to and regulate execution of transactions. E-market systems are also information systems which are information and communication technologies artifacts. They interact with their users; have different features and tools for searching, processing and displaying information. This work puts forward an argument that the study of e-markets must incorporate both the behavioural economic as well as the information systems perspectives. To this end the paper proposes a conceptual framework that integrates the two. This framework is used to formulate a model, which incorporates the essential features of exchange mechanisms, as well as their implementations as IS artefacts. The focus of attention is on two classes of mechanisms, namely auctions and negotiations. They both may serve the same purpose and their various types have been embedded in many e-market systems
