Reconstruction of Konrad Zuse’s Z3
No full textPart 9: Reconstruction StoriesInternational audienceThis paper describes the reconstruction of Konrad Zuse’s Machine Z3 by the author Horst Zuse from 2008. Konrad Zuse built the Z3 machine between 1939 and 1941 with some friends and a small amount of support by the government. The main idea for reconstructing the Z3 was to learn how this machine works and how much effort is necessary to build such a machine. Another main topic was to show this machine to the public

Horst Wessel Dachau Street Sign
No full textBlack metal sign reading, 24 Horst Wessel-Strasse.
Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: A small metal street sign from the concentration camp of Dachau. The streets in Dachau were named after so-called Nazi heroes, and this particular example identifies the address 24 Horst Wessel Strasse. Horst Ludwig Wessel (1907-1930) was a German Nazi activist who was made a posthumous hero of the Nazi movement following his violent death in 1940. He was the author of the lyrics to the Nazi Party anthem Die Fahnehoch ( The Flag on High ), usually known as the Horst Wessel Song.https://digital.kenyon.edu/bulmash/2251/thumbnail.jp
Art History and Prehistoric Art: Rethinking their Relationship in the Light of New Observations: The Twentieth Horst Gerson Lecture held on October 4, 2019
No full textThe Twentieth Horst Gerson Lecture held in memory of Horst Gerson (1907-1978) in the aula of the University of Groningen on the 4th of October 2019
The point, from which we are defining the human ability to design artefacts and use symbolic signs is currently shifting to a more distant past. The insights responsible for this pushing back, are based, for example, on findings of very early human-shaped sculpture in Swabia, on the realization that human sign-making started literally hundred thousand years earlier than previously thought, as well as the realization that even hand-axes could carry symbolic meaning. Taken together, these phenomena call for a redefinition of the anthropos, in which the ability to design plays an eminent role. The lecture aims to show how the capacity to discriminate and creatively employ visual and material difference in the environment was a pre-condition for the development of human kind. Against this background, the question rises, if the fruitful collaboration between the fields of aesthetics, art history, and anthropology, that drove nineteenth century research into the origins of human creativity, can be revived.

Upper Silesia as a Myth and Utopia in the Works of Horst Bienek
Abstract: Horst Bienek was a very well known and influential personality in the literary circles in Germany. His works are also important for the history of Silesian literature because of his role in the intraGerman and German-Polish discourse about the homeland, history and identity. In the article the author presents poetical strategies and methodology which Bienek used while creating his mythic representations of Silesia and (at the same time) of himself.Keywords: literary history, German literature, Silesian literature, Horst Bienek, utopiaFor an abstract in English, scroll down.Daniel Juliusz PietrekUniwersytet OpolskiWydział FilologicznyInstytut Filologii Germańskiej
„Wtedy przyjdzie ktoś i przerzuci przez Kłodnicę most z papieru”. Górny Śląsk jako mit i utopia w twórczości Horsta BienkaAbstrakt: Horst Bienek był osobą bardzo znaną, wpływową i niezwykle cenioną w środowisku literackim RFN. Jest też autorem szczególnie ważnym dla literatury śląskiej ze względu na jego rolę w wewnątrzniemieckim i niemiecko-polskim dyskursie o ojczyźnie, pamięci i tożsamości. W moim tekście pokazuję strategie poetologiczne i „metodykę”, którą posługiwał się gliwicki pisarz, tworząc swoje mityczne wyobrażenia o Śląsku i (co jest nierozerwalne w przypadku jego twórczości) równocześnie o sobie samym.Słowa kluczowe: historia literatury, literatura niemiecka, literatura śląska, Horst Bienek, utopia

Bernard Horst - The connections between life and work
No full textThis thesis focuses on Bernard Horst, who is introduced, based on the historical background of the period in which he lived as well as literary reviews and the interpretation of his selected novels. The thesis aims to provide a complex overview of findings about this writer and should also - using overviews of the history of the Czech literature and literary dictionaries - partially answer the following question: In what light can the personality of a marginal author address a contemporary reader, through which perspective can this author be seen and, most importantly, how this author can be discussed using the wider literary context
Pherecardites Horst 1912
No full textGenus <i>Pherecardites</i> Horst, 1912 <p> <i>Pherecardites</i> Horst, 1912: 33.</p> <p> <i>Branchamphinome</i> Hartman, 1967: 42 <b>n. syn.</b></p> <p> TYPE SPECIES. — <i>Pherecardites parva</i> Horst, 1912, by monotypy.</p> <p> GENDER. — Feminine, after the epithet originally proposed for the type species, <i>parva</i>; Brown (1954: 590) indicates <i>parvus</i> is a Latin masculine adjective, meaning little or small (<i>parva</i> feminine, <i>parvum</i> neuter (see below).</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS. — Amphinominae with chaetiger 1 dorsally incomplete. Caruncle with a median ridge and separate, diverging lateral lobes. Branchiae from chaetiger 1. Neurochaetae spurred, with denticles along inner side.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p> <i>Pherecardites</i> Horst, 1912 was described without an illustration of the anterior end. Fauchald (1977) included <i>Pherecardites</i> Horst, 1912 in his key to all genera; however, Fauchald regarded the body shape of <i>Branchamphinome</i> as oval, whereas for <i>Pherecardites</i> it was assumed as rectangular. Nevertheless, Hartman (1967: 43) indicated the body shape of the type species, <i>B. antarctica</i> Hartman, 1967 changes during development: “Smaller individuals resemble the short <i>Chloeia</i> whereas longer ones are more like <i>Eurythoe</i>.” The latter has been regarded as having rectangular body.</p> <p> Consequently, <i>Pherecardites</i> and <i>Branchamphinome</i> have the same body shape and types of chaetae. What about the caruncle? Horst (1912: 33) indicated “caruncle consisting of a median axis and some lateral lamellae, directed backwards.” And in describing the type species, <i>P. parva</i>, a few lines below, he wrote: “its caruncle extends over three segments and consists of a median axis and four lateral lobes, directed backwards.” Hartman (1967: 43) indicated, in the description of the type species, <i>B. antarctica</i>, “the caruncle is tripartite, consisting of a larger, longer median lobe with lateral branches, and a pair of shorter lateral lobes […]” These two descriptions indicate a very similar shape, and after the study of type specimens, the two genera are herein regarded as synonyms.</p> <p> <i>Pherecardites</i> Horst, 1912 might be regarded as a name applied to fossils (ICZN 1999, Art. 20) and consequently, it could not “be used as the valid name of a taxon”. Further, as indicated in the example given for the same article, the genus-group name might be available if proposed “for genus-group of taxa of fossils […] and not merely to indicate fossil members of genera of extant animals”. Horst (1912) proposed <i>Pherecardites</i>, forming the name after <i>Pherecardia</i> Horst, 1886, but he was not referring to any fossil members of the same group. Consequently, it cannot be rejected as a valid name.</p> <p> There are a few instances where a similarly ending genus-group name has been regarded as valid, such as <i>Tringites</i> Cabanis <i>in</i> Gundlach, 1856 (Aves, Scolopacidae), or <i>Oceanites</i> Keyserling & Blasius, 1840 (Aves, Hydrobatidae).On the other hand, Read & Fauchald (2022) explained the etymology as: “The name of the genus is formed by the postposition of the suffix of Greek origin - <i>ites</i>, used to form adjectives, especially those to identify groups as ‘those belonging to’, to the name of the genus <i>Pherecardia</i> Horst, 1886, and seems to be used to indicate the resemblance of the new genus <i>Pherecardites</i> with <i>Pheracardia</i>.” On the other hand, the suffix - <i>ites</i> is “to be treated as masculine unless its author, when establishing the name, stated that it had another gender or treated it as such by combining it with an adjective species-group name in another gender form” (ICZN 1999, Art. 30.1.4.4). As indicated above, because Horst used the feminine (<i>parva</i>) species-group name, the gender of the genus must be treated as feminine.</p> <p> Hartman (1967) compared <i>Branchamphinome</i> with <i>Benthoscolex</i> Horst, 1912 because both have tripartite caruncle, and concluded they differ because the former has eyes, and branchiae from chaetiger 1, whereas the latter had no eyes, and branchiae from chaetiger 6. Kudenov (1993) modified the diagnosis but restricted the comparison to <i>Benthoscolex</i>. After Horst (1912) the presence of spurred neurochaetae with denticles along the inner side in <i>Pherecardites</i> resembles <i>Hermodice</i>, although some other genera also have this type of neurochaetae such as <i>Benthoscolex</i>, <i>Linopherus</i> de Quatrefages, 1866, <i>Paramphinome</i> Sars <i>in</i> Sars, 1872 and <i>Pareurythoe</i> Gustafson, 1930. Horst likely restricted the comparison to <i>Hermodice</i> and <i>Pherecardia</i> because they also have complex caruncle, as opposed to those present in the other genera. <i>Benthoscolex</i>, however, has a caruncle with three longitudinal lobes directed posteriorly, but they rise from the same point, not from a single median ridge, as is the case in <i>Pherecardites</i>.</p> <p> As currently redefined, <i>Pherecardites</i> Horst, 1912 includes <i>Branchamphinome</i> Hartman, 1967. Consequently, the species described in the latter genus must be newly combined such that <i>Pherecardites</i> includes <i>P. antarctica</i> (Hartman, 1967) n. comb., <i>P. islandica</i> (Detinova, 1968) n. comb., <i>P. kohtsukai</i> (Jimi <i>in</i> Jimi <i>et al.</i> 2021) n. comb., <i>P. parva</i> Horst, 1912, <i>P. quinquemaculata</i> Augener, 1927, and <i>P. tropicalis</i> (Barroso, Ranauro & Kudenov, 2017) n. comb.</p> KEY TO SPECIES OF <i>PHERECARDITES</i> HORST, 1912 <p> (modified after Jimi <i>et al.</i> 2021)</p> <p>1.

The Forgotten Marxist Theory of Communication & Society
No full textTranslated from German to English by Christian Fuchs
Marxist political economy of communication analyses the role of communication in society and capitalism. This paper shows what it means to take a historical and materialist approach for analysing communication and society. In the German-speaking world, Marxist communication research has largely remained a “forgotten theory”.
First, the paper analyses the role of communication in society, which requires thinking of how communication relates to work and production. Second, the paper analyses the emergence of communication in capitalist society. It shows that there is a close interaction of the dominant type of capitalism and the emergence and development of new means of communication. Third, the paper points out five roles of the media in capitalism (the production and sale of media products, advertising and commodity circulation, the legitimation of domination, regeneration and reproduction of labour-power, market for media technologies) and engages with how ideology, social psychology, audiences’ habitus and everyday practices/life interact in the reception of media contents, especially news programmes.
The preface to this article, written by the translator, presents aspects of the works of Horst Holzer. Given his pioneering intellectual role in the development of the critique of the political economy of communication in the German-speaking world, it is not an understatement to say that Horst Holzer is Germany’s Dallas Smythe.

About the Author:
Horst Holzer (1935-2000) was a German sociologist and communication theorist. He contributed to the formation and development of the critique of the political economy of media and communication in the German-speaking world. Holzer used Marxist theory for the analysis of the relationship between capitalism and communication. Given his pioneering intellectual role in the development of the critique of the political economy of communication in the German-speaking world, it is not an understatement to say that Horst Holzer is Germany’s Dallas Smythe. Holzer lived and worked in Munich and published twenty German books. The focus of Holzer’s writings was in general on communication theory, the sociology of communication, as well as on capitalism and communication. In particular, his books were about the ideology and political economy of magazines, newspapers, radio and television; public sphere theory, sociological theories, children and television, and surveillance
