Sein Hauptbetätigungsfeld war die Trias von Oberschlesien (heute Polen). Neben bio- und lithostratigraphischen Untersuchungen machte er sich um die paläontologische Revision der Wirbellosen der Trias verdient. Zahlreiche Fossilien und Belegstücke aus Aufschlüssen und Bohrungen sind in den Sammlungen der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe überliefert. Assmann ist Autor von 29 geologischen Karten.Paul Assmann was employed in the Geological Survey of Prussia (Preußische Geologische Landesanstalt) 1908–1939. His main duty was the geological mapping of Upper Silesia (Oberschlesien, today Poland), particularly of the Triassic. His scientific work contains bio- and lithostratigraphic investigations of the Triassic and the palaeontological revision of Triassic invertebrate fossils, which he had collected. His publications are of great importance even today, especially his paleontological works. He is the author of 29 geological maps
A Centralidade da vida em Nietzsche e Agamben frente a metafísica ocidental e a biopolítica contemporânea
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação Interdisciplinar em Ciências Humanas, Florianópolis, 2010Esta tese é resultante do esforço de pesquisa teórico-bibliográfica em torno da questão da centralidade da vida no pensamento de Nietzsche e Agamben, a partir de seus posicionamentos frente à metafísica ocidental e as demandas biopoliticas que implicam sobre as formas-de-vida-que-vem. Nietzsche e Agamben questionam a estrutura metafísica que constitui o arcabouço cultural ocidental demonstrando que desde os instantes iniciais do Ocidente o que está em jogo é a apreensão, o controle, a disciplinarização, a normalização e a e normatização moral, política e jurídica sobre as possibilidades potenciais em que a vida se move. O niilismo denunciado e anunciado por Nietzsche se apresenta como superação do homem civilizado, domesticado, violentado pelo império dos meios em seu apequenamento vital, reduzido à mera condição biológica, de um corpo que não se concebe mais como grande razão, portador de uma grande saúde vital, potencializador da vida humana a tornar-se o que ela é em meio à multiplicidade de outras tantas forças vitais em jogo. Para Agamben, o humano ao se estabelecer na ruptura entre physis e phone, ao incluir a vida animal na polis por meio do desenvolvimento da linguagem, posiciona a vida numa zona de indeterminação, possibilitando à ação soberana a legitimação de seu poder, que se estabelece em constante estado exceção ao dispor da vida, ao produzir vida nua. Vida nua que já não é mais a vida animal, mas também não é a vida humana qualificada, mas sim uma vida matável e sacrificável de acordo com os interesses políticos, econômicos em jogo em determinado contexto. Para Agamben, a biopolítica esta na origem da estrutura metafísica e cultural ocidental e seu ápice paradigmático na contemporaneidade se materializou nos campos de concentração. Nietzsche e Agamben, salvaguardadas as diferenças temporais e conceituais, questionam corajosamente as formas-de-vida que se apresentaram no decorrer a dinâmica civilizatória e, que nos conduziram às formas-de-vida presentes na contemporaneidade. Nietzsche ao conceber a vida como vontade de poder, pretende superar a repressão das forças moralizantes que menosprezam e mantém a vida humana em sua condição massificada e mediocrizante presente em seu tempo. Agamben propõem a compreensão de como a potência do pensamento pode paralisar a máquina antropológica ocidental de produção de vida nua, de aprisionamento, uso e consumo da vida pela racionalidade político-administrativa estatal. Para os dois pensadores o que esta em jogo na contemporaneidade é o fato de não abdicarmos da potência da vida em sua dimensão trágica e como obra de arte.This thesis is a result of the effort of theoretical research and literature around the question of the centrality of life in Nietzsche and Agamben's thought from their positions ahead of Western metaphysics and the demands on the biopolitical that involving about life-forms to come it. Nietzsche, Agamben question the structure metaphysical that constitutes the backbone of Western culture, showing that since its initial instants of the West in which this game is the seizure, control, disciplining, and normalization moral, political and legal on the potential possibilities in that Life moves itself. Nihilism was reported and announced by Nietzsche, presents itself as an overcome man's civilized, domesticated, raped in the middle of empire in belittling his life reduced to mere biological conditions of a body that is not conceived more as a big reason, carrying a large vital health, a potentiator of human being's life to become who it is in the midst of multiplicity of so many other vital forces in play. For Agamben the human to be established in a split between physis and phone, to include animal life in the polis through the development of language stands in an area of life indetermination allowing the legitimation of their sovereign power that acts in a constant state exception, have of life, producing bare life. Bare life that is no longer animal life but human life is not qualified, but a matavele life and expendable according to the political, economic stake in a given context. For Agamben, biopolitics is at the origin of Western cultural and metaphysical structure and its apex in the contemporary paradigm is materialized in concentration camps. Nietzsche, Agamben, subject to the temporary differences and conceptual question boldly life forms that were presented during the dynamics of civilization and that led us to the contemporary forms of life. Nietzsche to conceive the life as will to power that intends to overcome the repressive forces that despise moralizing and maintain human life in its present condition mass and mediocre in his time. Agamben to propose an understanding it gives as the power of thought propose the halting of the machine anthropological western production of bare life, of life imprisonment and rape by rationality political-administrative state. For both thinkers in who this game nowadays is that we must abandon not the power of life in its tragic dimension and as a work of art
Vier Grundtypen von Zeugenschaft
No full textAn erudite, yet accessible cultural essay, reconstructing historical and cultural varieties of testimonies, which led to the emergence of various kinds of witness figures and types of testimonies. By introducing this order, it is easier to see and understand the specificity of oral history – both the “normal” and the “Holocaust” one – against the backdrop of court witness and religious testimonies. Assmann’s text lends itself to being read in a variety of ways – including as a culturological source study.

Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe

Religião, educação e solidariedade: um estudo dos pressupostos antropológicos de Hugo Assmann
No full textReligião, Educação e Solidariedade é um trabalho que procura por meio dos
pressupostos antropológicos de Rugo Assmann, elaborar um conteúdo que possa auxiliar no
pensar uma educação para a solidariedade. Para tanto, foi necessário e de fundamental
importância fazer um rastreamento no vasto escrito de Assmann para desenvolver a idéia
central e norteadora de toda a nossa abordagem, a saber, a visão de ser humano defendida
pelo nosso autor em questão.
A partir dessa concepção antropológica, foi possível constatar as visões de seres
humanos com as quais os modelos econômicos, "socialismo real" e o neoliberalismo
trabalham. Diante disso, constatou-se também que a antropologia dos dois modelos tem
concepção de ser humano redutivista; ou seja, o socialismo vê o ser humano como
naturalmente solidário, enquanto que o neoliberalismo vê o ser humano como naturalmente
egoísta.
De acordo com Assmann, a maneira como o neoliberalismo concebe os seres humanos
traz grandes implicações para a realização de projetos sociais factíveis. Com isso, a idéia de
uma antropologia que concebe os seres humanos como seres de necessidades e desejos,
alonga-se para outras dimensões, por exemplo, a ambigüidade, a contingência e, por fim,
sistema vivo auto-organizativo centrado na corporeidade viva, abre espaço para uma nova
compreensão dos seres humanos que permite pensar um ser com possibilidade de
melhoramento.
A partir dessa perspectiva, desenvolvemos os conceitos de conversão epistemológica,
de conversão ética e conversão religiosa como aposta a ser inserida no processo ensino
aprendizagem, com vista à emergência de uma educação que tome a pessoa mais humana em
suas relações com os outrosReligion, Education and Solidarity is a work which looks for, through Hugo Assmann
anthropologic motives, elaborating a content that may help thinking an education for
solidarity. For that, it was necessary and extremely important a deep search about Assmann
written. Material in arder to develop the central idea of our work: the human vision defended
by our author.
By this anthropologic idea, it was possible to check the different points of view about
human beings, with whom the economics models, "real socialism" and "neoliberalism",
work. It was algo possible to conclude that the two models anthropology has a reducted
human conception; which means that socialism sees human being as naturally sympathetic,
while "neoliberalism" sees human being as naturally selfish.
According to Assmann, the way "neoliberalism" sees human beings brings great
effects real to the realization of possible social projects. This way, the idea of an anthropology
which conceives human beings as beings of necessities and wishes, leading itself to other
dimensions, for instance, the ambiguity, the contingence and at last and ative self organized
system, centered in the "alive body" gives space for a new human being comprehension
which allows to think about a being with improvement possibility.
From this point, we've developed thoughts esteems of knowledge conversion, ethjc
conversion and religious conversion as a bet to be inserted in the teaching leaming process,
due to the emergency of an education which tum the person into someone more human in its
relations with other
Untersuchungen von Erregungsleitungsstörungen, die zum plötzlichen Herztod in Phytansäure akkumulierenden Sterol Carrier Protein 2-, Sterol Carrier Protein x-defizienten Mäusen führen
No full textBei SCP2/SCPx-defizienten Mäusen wurde durch Fütterung mit Phytansäure eine stark erhöhte Anreicherung dieser Fettsäure in der Phosphatidylcholin-Schicht der Lipid- membranen des Myokards nachgewiesen. Die Einlagerung der Phytansäure in die Membranlayer der Myokardzellen führte zu letalen bradykarden Rhythmusstörungen im Sinne von Reizleitungsstörungen, die sich im konventionellen Oberflächen-EKG und im telemetrischen Langzeit-EKG nachweisen ließen. Eine gestörte AV-Knoten-Funktion wurde durch die Untersuchungen am isolierten Herzen ohne verändertes monophasisches Aktionspotential bestätigt. Expressionsstudien aus Gesamt-RNS des Myokards zeigten eine reduzierte Expression von Connexin43. Mit Hilfe immunzytometrischer Studien konnte eine Veränderung der Größe, Anordnung (Muster) und Anzahl von Connexin43 gezeigt werden. Die Beeinflussung der Expression für Connexin43 könnte zu den pathogenetischen Mechanismen der beobachteten Reizleitungsstörungen beitragen und zum Ereignis des plötzlichen Herztodes führen. Diese Untersuchungen könnten eine Erklärung für die plötzlichen Todesfälle bei Refsumpatienten sein
