Author – Narrator – Defendant: A legal Approach to Werner Kofler\u27s Voice
No full textGernot Waldner nähert sich dem Phänomen Stimme am Beispiel des Autors Werner Koflers aus juristischer Perspektive. Der Beitrag analysiert detailliert die rhetorischen Strategien in den Akten jenes Prozesses, den der Journalist Michael Jeannée 1991 anlässlich einer Passage in Koflers Der Hirt auf dem Felsen wegen üblicher Nachrede anstrengte. Waldner zeigt nicht nur Widersprüche der Argumentationen auf, sondern leitet daraus Auswirkungen auf Koflers Poetik ab. Koflers Prosa Üble Nachrede – Furcht und Unruhe erscheint in dieser Lesart als Verarbeitung des Prozesses und als formale Reaktion auf konkrete juristische Vorgehensweisen, wie etwa die Identifikation einer Erzählstimme mit dem Autor.
Author – Narrator – Defendant: A legal Approach to Werner Kofler\u27s Voice: Gernot Waldner approaches the phenomenon of voice from a legal perspective using the example of Werner Kofler. The contribution provides a detailed analysis of the rhetorical strategies in the files of the court case following journalist Michael Jeannée filing for defamation because of a passage in Kofler\u27s Der Hirt auf dem Felsen. He not only shows contradictions in the arguments but deduces effects on Kofler\u27s poetics. From this perspective, Kofler\u27s prose piece Üble Nachrede – Furcht und Unruhe emerges as a working through of the court case and as a formal reaction to concrete legal procedures, for instance identifying narrative voice with the author.Gernot Waldner approaches the phenomenon of voice from a legal perspective using the example of Werner Kofler.

Consciousness from a classical physical-science perspective based on a new paradigm
No full textThis is Essay 5 of the Collection of 'Essays on Cognitive Physical Science' in the repository UPSpace of the University of Pretoria.Quantum physics has a long history of interest in consciousness, stemming from the conviction, seeded by famous names, that consciousness is "fundamental to nature" and is, thus, somehow contributory also to quantum events. One of the more recent ideas (by Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose) is that the brain is a quantum computer and that a particular component of neurons acts as a quantum object responsible for the emergence of consciousness. In the 2017 New Scientist monograph Your Conscious Mind the present scientific vision is summarised as "We still don't know whether it [consciousness] is real or an illusion". And it is speculated "that physicists will [one day perhaps] identify consciousness as a distinct kind of matter". This odd suggestion calls for physicists to bring systematic classical thinking back to the subject of consciousness. In the past, such thinking, based on the well-tested Ansatz approach, has failed miserably for consciousness, because of a self-reassuring mainstream orthodox paradigm about the function of consciousness, viz. that consciousness, assisted by the "unconscious" state, is in charge of Man's reasoning and behaviour. The new approach pursued here is the opposite thereof, viz. it is based on the new unorthodox paradigm that the nonconscious (not unconscious) state of mind is in charge of human reasoning and behaviour, and that what a person's mind becomes conscious of has previously been entirely worked out and put into action in the nonconscious state. On this basis, the author has derived a purely classical self-compatible description of the nature and function of consciousness. The key proposition is that general consciousness derives from self-consciousness, which in turn is posited to be a mental sensation of organism-wide wake state feedback from local cellular metabolism. The details have been written up here in a first short form. In a postscript it is also shown how the age-old problem of 'free will' is solved in terms of the new vision of consciousness.hj201
Umano, ancora umano. Per un'analisi dell'opera Sull'Uomo di Werner Sombart.
No full textQuesto inedito di Werner Sombart, scritto poco prima della sua morte, delinea il profilo fondamentale di una "sociologia dell'uomo" nel tragico contesto dell'Europa, in particolare della Germania nazista all'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale.L'autrice cerca di introdurre alla lettura del libro i lettori italiani, individuando i concetti fondamentali dell'opera attraverso le grandi categorie concettuali indagate da Sombart, come: l'essenza dell'uomo, l'idea di uomo nella storia,l'organizzazione della società e della cultura, l'idea di popolo e le differenze tra i popoli, la persona, lo spirito, l'anima e il corpo, e più in generale il divenire dell'umanità.This book of Werner Sombart, written shortly before his death, outlines the basic profile of a "sociology of man" in the tragic context of Europe, in particular of Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II.The author tries to identify the fundamental concepts of the work through the major conceptual categories investigated by Sombart, as the essence of man, the idea of man in history, the organization of society and culture, the idea of the people and the differences between peoples, the person, the spirit, the soul and the body, and more generally the becoming of humanity
Recall this Book 62: A Conversation with Jan-Werner Müller
No full textToday's guest is Princeton's Jan-Werner Müller, (Another Country: German Intellectuals, Unification and National Identity, A Dangerous Mind: Carl Schmitt in Post-War European Thought, Constitutional Patriotism) author of What is Populism? (2016) which explores how the identitarian logic of populism can come to lodge within democracies. Is the current success of the antidemocratic Right (in Hungary and Poland-and increasingly elsewhere in Europe as well) the product of "plutocratic populism"? Or is there some other more systemic maladjustment in Europe and America, whereby the ground rules for deliberative democracy have been skewed into a new stable shape, one that anti-democratic populist leaders have been able to capitalize on by borrowing from one another's dangerous playbooks
ON THE DISPUTE BETWEEN PUBLISHER JOSIP (JOSEPH) V. PLATZER AND FRANZ ANTON WERNER, AUTHOR
No full textAnalizirajući zanimljivi arhivski predmet broj 99 iz 1845. iz fonda Poglavarstvo grada Varaždina, 11 stranica dugo pismo pisca F. A. Wernera upućeno varaždinskom magistratu kao odgovor na tužbu tiskara J. pl. Platzera, i k tomu 26 dodanih priloga, opisuju se brojne povijesne činjenice o kulturnom životu Varaždina u razdoblju 1842. do 1850. Istraživanjem spomenutog arhivskog gradiva, na svjetlo dana izlaze manje poznate pojedinosti o brojnim izdavačkim pothvatima („Etape putovanja po Njemačkoj i pograničnim zemljama“, „Abecedni prirodoslovni muzej sa slikama“) tiskara J. pl. Platzera i došljaka F. A. Wernera, Pražanina, pisca najmanje osam kazališnih komada.
U radu se posebno opisuju ugovori iz 1843. i 1844. između tiskara Platzera i autora više projekata F. A. Wernera, te idejni prijedlog za izdavanje varaždinskoga tjednika (koriste se tri različita imena) s prilogom za kulturu na njemačkom jeziku. Ukazujući na zapis da je skladatelj Ivan Padovec u srpnju 1844. potpisao ugovor s Franzom Wernerom o prepuštanju autorskih prava za tiskanje udžbenika za sviranje deseterostrune gitare na tri godine po cijeni od 400 fl., iznose se činjenice o Padovčevim višegodišnjim pokušajima ostvarivanja prava poslije isteka tog roka. Iz brojnih pisama i koncepata iz magistratske pismohrane vidi se da je u Leipzigu - u trgovca muzikalijama F. Hofmeistera - na pohrani bilo više Padovčevih i Udlovih skladbi. Autorica ukazuje na činjenicu da Padovčeve skladbe jesu one br. 49, i od 57 do 62, osim broja 50, koji je tiskao Platzer (na naslovnici ima sitan zapis imena litografa nepoznatog podrijetla), a sve ostale u nakladi Werner & Comp. tiskane su na nepoznatom mjestu. Isto vrijedi i za Udlov rad broj 3 u nakladi Werner & Comp.After analyzing the interesting archive file number 99 dating from 1845 found in the Varaždin City Government, page 11, second letter of writer F.A.Werner addressed to the Varaždin magistrate as the reply to the complaint of publisher J. Pl. Platzer, and also the 26 attachments, we can observe that many historical facts are discussed linked with Varaždin’s cultural life in the period from 1842 till 1850. By studying the described archive matter, less known data on the numerous publishing endeavors come to light such as editions „Etape putovanja po Njemačkoj i pograničnim zemljama“, „Abecedni prirodoslovni muzej sa slikama“ (Segments of the journey through Germany and bordering countries“, Alphabet Natural Museum with Pictures) published by J.pl. Platzer and the newcomer F.A.Werner, Prague city dweller, writer of at least eight theatre plays.
Special attention in the paper is paid to describing contracts dating from 1843 and 1844 between the publisher Platzer and F.A. Werner, the author of several projects, and also the author of the initial proposition for publishing a Varaždin weekly (three different names are used) with a supplement on culture in German. By pointing out to the record which evidences that the composer Ivan Padovec had signed a contract in 1844 with Franz Werner on handing over author’s rights for publishing a manual on playing the ten-string guitar with rights lasting for a period of three years and at a price of 400 fl., facts are put forward showing Padovec’s efforts during several years to acquire such rights after the contracted period had expired. On basis of many letters and drafts from the magistrate record office, it may be observed that there had been a number of Padovec’s and Udl’s compositions stored with the musical merchandise trader F. Hofmeister in Leipzig. The paper’s author points out to the fact that Padovec’s compositions are actually the ones under number 49 and those from 57 till 62, except number 50 published by Platzer (the cover page has a small record of the lithographs name, of unknown descent), and it is not known where all the others published by Werner & Comp. had been printed. The same applies to Udl’s work no. 3 published by Werner & Comp
