An exile in Buenos Aires: The stroll in the Argentinean works of Paul Zech (1933-1946)
No full textEn 1933 el escritor alemán Paul Zech debe huir de Alemania y refugiarse en Buenos Aires, donde vivirá hasta su muerte en 1946. Allí tendrá una intensa actividad literaria, llevada adelante en difíciles condiciones de vida, tanto en cuanto a su condición misma de exiliado, como por sus cambiantes y conflictivos vínculos al interior de la colectividad alemana. En esta obra, una inclinación a la caminata por la ciudad nos muestra una imagen de la Argentina de la década de 1930 desde el novedoso punto de vista de un autor exiliado en estas tierras.En este trabajo nos preguntamos cómo se constituye en la obra argentina de Zech el paseo en el exilio (si acaso es posible el paseo en el exilio) y cómo se recorta, por sus particularidades, de los otros registros urbanos escritos «a pie» en su misma época (Benjamin, Kracauer).In 1933 the German writer Paul Zech had to flee from Germany and go into exile in Buenos Aires, where he would live until his death in 1946. There, he would have an intense literary activity, carried out under difficult living conditions, both because of his condition as an exile and because of his changing and con-flictive links within the German community. Within Zech’s works during these years, an inclination to walk around the city shows us an image of Argentina in the 1930s from the novel point of view of an author exiled in these lands.In this work we inquire how the strollin exile (whether it is possible to stroll in exile) is constituted in Zech’s Argentinean work and how it is cut out, due to its particularities, from the other urban records written «by foot» in his same period (Benjamin, Kracauer).Fil: Sufotinsky Reynoso, Eric Tomás.

On the V ariability of the Family Names of C zech Migrants’ Descendants in the N orthern Caucasus and Western Siberia
No full textThis paper deals with the systems of family names characteristic for the communities of C zech migrants living in Russia in several villages near Novorossiysk and Anapa in the N orthern Caucasus and in the M iddle Irtysh area in Omsk Region which emerged in the 1860s and in the early 20th century respectively, as a result of migration of two different groups of C zech peasants. The article also takes into account, though selectively, family names of the Polish dialect speakers living in the Republic of K hakassia in Russia. The author points out that both Czech groups preserve unofficial local family names typical of the community’s initial Czech dialectal zones, southwestern in the first case and northeastern in the second. These unofficial names seem to be opposed to Russified official family names which are used in communication with the world outside the community. The semantic base of local, “internal” family names coming, in general, from possessive adjectives, is built on the expression of belonging to a family or to a house, these meanings being particularly important in female family names which display some notable parallels between the observed groups of C zech and Polish migrants in Russia.В статье рассматриваются системы фамильных именований внутриобщин потомков чешских переселенцев, живущих в России: в нескольких деревнях под Новороссийском и Анапой на Северном Кавказе и в С реднем Прииртышье, на территории Омской области. Эти общины возникли в результате переселения на указанные территории двух разных групп чешских крестьян соответственно в конце 1860-х гг. и в начале XX в. Для сравнения выборочно привлекаются также фамильные именования носителей переселенческого польского говора в Республике Хакасия. Автор показывает, что у северокавказских и среднеприиртышских чехов хорошо сохраняются неофициальные внутриобщинные фамилии, характерные для исходных чешских диалектных ареалов, юго-западного в первом и северо-восточного во втором случае. Им противопоставлены подвергшиеся русификации официальные фамилии, воспринимаемые их носителями как «внешние». Семантической базой комплекса внутриобщинных фамилий, восходящих в основном к притяжательным прилагательным, является выражение принадлежности к дому или семье. Особенно значима эта семантика для женских фамильных именований, в отношении которых прослеживаются примечательные параллели между рассматриваемыми группами потомков чешских и польских переселенцев в России
INDESEM | The International Design Seminar: Its Emerging, Development and Interplay with the Education in Delft
No full textINDESEM has always been an explosion of one week of learning without education. Students themselves are responsible for everything and it is them who make sure that the technical and academic staff warm to the idea of breaking plenty of rules for a week. And you should see what happens when you do! Work continues into the early hours and the building is turned inside out to get at its hidden qualities. The daily routine is disrupted and the cleaners are made aware of their importance. Each time a group of students comes together to perform the task of getting this event off the ground, their own regular studies are largely ignored for the duration. It is only much later that they realize just what they have received in return when, after their studies, it transpires that designing and realizing a building demands a comparable attitude where it is again all down to anticipating, deliberating, seeking out conditions, making (and keeping) appointments.Those taking part come from all over the world, perhaps initially attracted by names and by the Netherlands, but also by the thrill of actually being able to meet and talk with so many others who are in the same boat. The task is no more than a pretext and catalyst for getting into contact with others and discussing with them. The results are merely conceptual models of thinking. The performance that needs generating is to get a group of complete strangers to formulate and present an idea and go on to defend it against all others. In this way, the idea of INDESEM is inciting glimpses of an alternative way of learning, directed to thinking instead of just cultivating external attractiveness. And it deserves to be continued in some way to point at what might be a lesson for the regular education.BK LabsHistory, Form & AestheticsUrban Studie
100 Years of Summer: A ski area brownfield as a testing ground to explore ways of how humans and nonhumans can thrive in a warming alpine landscape, together.
No full text100 Years of Summer: A ski area brownfield as a testing ground to explore ways of how humans and nonhumans can thrive in a warming alpine landscape, together.This project started with a romantic fascination for the mountain landscape in my home country, and with wondering what would happen to all the infrastructure in ski areas once there isn’t enough snow anymore to run them profitably.I soon discovered, however, that there are some much more fundamental questions to tackle first - mainly concerning how we position ourselves as humans in this world: Are we as autonomous from other beings as we like to think? How does our experience of a (brownfield) landscape differ from that of a bird, goat, or flower? What is our role - both our responsibility and agency - in alpine ecosystems? What is the role, big or small, of each other thing? What does it take for the landscapes to be resilient and full of life despite the pressure applied by climate change?The final exhibition does not answer all these questions. It creates a spatial framework for experimenting with possible answers and tries to expand the (architectural) narrative: from a solely human experience of the landscape, architecture, and activities, to one that acknowledges the role and experience of nonhuman beings like animals, plants, soil, rain, materials,...Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Explorela
The feasibility of two-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry for the study of vertical sediment transport in a turbulent free surface flow
No full textThe objective of the present work is to see whether the transport of sediment in a turbulent free surface flow can be studied with a new method of video image analysis, called the Two-Dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry. A slice of a two-dimensional turbulent flow in a laboratory flume is illuminated and particles are injected. After the recording of the illuminated particles, the video images are digitised and a software package called DigImage is used to analyse them, in order to give for each image the number of particles and their two dimensional positions and velocities. Four parameters are varied in the experiments: the diameter of the particles, the depth-averaged flow velocity, the distance between the injection and the point of observation, and the height of the injection. An analysis is then carried out in order to see the influence of these parameters on the concentration profiles and on the particles velocities. This analysis compares the measurements and the model of suspension ofparticIes by coherent structures ofturbulence (bursting phenomena). This work concludes on one hand that the Two-Dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry by DigImage is reliable for the study of sediment transport as long as the video recordings are of good quality. It confirms on the other hand that the concentration profiles are not described well by a diffusion model. Finally, it concludes that some measurements agree with the bursting phenomena, in particular the observation of larger downward velocities and that some other measurements are more difficult to interpret, in particular downward velocities larger than the settling velocity when the injection is near the surface and near the point of observation.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
