Aktiver Passivismus
No full textAktiver Passivismus ist Handlungshemmung und spannungsgeladene Lösung - und er ist der Grund dafür, dass in Robert Musils »Mann ohne Eigenschaften« so wenig passiert. Neele Illner zeigt auf, wie sich mit diesem Konzept nicht nur Musils Roman neu lesen, sondern auch ein Begriff des rechten Lebens entwickeln lässt, welches Widersprüche vereint, ohne sie aufzuheben. Dabei erweist sich der aktive Passivismus als Thema, das zahlreiche Denker*innen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts - von Hannah Arendt bis Quentin Meillassoux - umtreibt. Als Form des Lebens und der Literatur vermag er den Krieg aufzuhalten und die geschwisterliche Liebe wiederzuentdecken

It is also the reason why so little action take place in Robert Musil’s novel „The Man Without Qualities“. Neele Illner’s study shows how the concept of active passivism does not only allow for a new reading of Musil’s work. It also serves to develop a notion of the right life that unites contradictions without dissolving them. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries the many aspects of active passivism have been
intriguing numerous thinkers–from Hannah Arendt to Quentin Meillassoux. As a form of life it is able to prevent the war and to rediscover sibling love
Glocalizing genre fiction in the global South
No full textThis study offers a comprehensive overview of post-millennial Indian (English) and Latin American crime fiction. Drawing on genre theory and the field of literature & globalization, Neele Meyer examines the history of crime fiction and traces similar developments in the book markets in these largely disconnected regions.
In an analysis of the characteristics of the genre, the author studies the works of 17 writers from India, Argentina and Chile focusing on aspects like detective figures (particularly women detectives or journalists), the plot structure, intertextuality, settings or the impact of media and technology. The analysis shows that authors consciously choose the globally circulating genre and modify it as “social commentaries” to accommodate economic or social transformations. Neele Meyer challenges the idea that the global presence of the genre leads to homogenization and argues that global circulation of crime fiction in the Global South is a ‘glocal’ phenomenon that reflects the heterogeneous outcomes of processes of globalization

Chile 1816
No full textRelief shown by hachures. Includes inset map. "Pinkerton's modern atlas" -- across the top margin.This hand-colored map of 1816 shows most of Chile, from its northern border to approximately 44° South. Relief is shown by hachures. An inset map depicts Isola de Tierra, the easternmost of the Juan Fernández Islands, the archipelago in the Pacific Ocean that appears at the far western edge of the map. The map has two distance scales, Spanish geographical miles and British statute miles. Yellow is used to highlight the borders of the Viceroyalty of La Plata, an administrative unit of the Spanish Empire established in 1776 out of territories previously part of the Viceroyalty of Peru (comprising all or parts of present-day Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia). The map was included in Pinkerton’s Modern Atlas, which was published in London between 1808 and 1815 and in a special American edition in 1818. John Pinkerton (1758-1826) was a Scottish scholar and author who wrote books on Scottish history and poetry, numismatics, and other topics. In 1808–14 he published the 17-volume A General Collection of the Best and Most Interesting Voyages and Travels in All Parts of the World. A six-volume edition of Pinkerton’s compilation was issued in Philadelphia in 1810–12. The map was engraved by Samuel John Neele (1758–1824), who was from an important family of British engravers who worked from offices on the Strand in London. WDLColor1:3,000,00
Post-Reformation Reformed sources and children
No full textThis article suggests that the topic “children” received considerable attention in the post-Reformation era – the period of CA 1565-1725. In particular, the author argues that the post-Reformation Reformed sources attest of a significant interest in the education and parenting of children. This interest not only continued, but intensified during the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation when much thought was given to the subject matter. This article attempts to appraise the aim of post-Reformation Reformed sources on the topic “children.

Ultra Hard Mount Active Vibration Control: Improving the performance of ultra hard mount systems using vibration control strategies
No full textHigh-precision mechatronic equipment often benefits from or even needs vibration isolation to function within specification. Examples of such equipment include metrology devices, space instrumentation and lithography assemblies. Vibration isolation is often the function of the mounting between the equipment and the floor or rest of the machine. An important factor for vibration isolation is the stiffness of this mount. High stiffness mounts result in high force disturbance rejection, at the cost of sensitivity to indirect disturbances. So-called ultra hard mount systems take advantage of ultra high stiffness to offer superior position stability in the presence of force disturbances. However, this also leads to an emphasized sensitivity to indirect disturbances. Active vibration control can be used to overcome this. Feedback is used to dampen the resonance mode of the mounting system. Feedforward is used to lower the transmissibility, resulting in reduced sensitivity to indirect disturbances. This has been successfully implemented on less stiff hard mount systems in the past, but the techniques remained unexplored on ultra hard mount systems. This research focusses on the experimental implementation of existing active vibration control techniques on an ultra hard mount system. It was found that the closed loop behaviour of piezo-based ultra hard mount systems are well predictable. Furthermore, it was found that good damping performance can be achieved by various methods, reducing the output vibrations up to 60%. Using straightforward stiffness compensation feedforward, the influence of indirect disturbances was shown to be reduced significantly. A reduction of 94% in the effect of indirect disturbances was realized using disturbance feedforward when compared to the uncontrolled case. This work shows that ultra hard mounts can be used in applications where strong direct disturbance rejection is required, even in the presence of indirect disturbances using a combined feedback and feedforward approach.Mechanical Engineering | High-Tech Engineerin
