Georg Hermann.
No full textThe internationally renowned author of numerous novels, essays, and articles, Georg Hermann, was born as Georg Borchardt in Berlin-Friedenau on October 7, 1871, the youngest of six children in a well-established Jewish family. Later in life he used his father’s first name Hermann as his surname when writing. Contrary to the expectations for a young man from a reputable family, Hermann did not pursue the Abitur exam in a Gymnasium (secondary school), but instead received a one-year certificate in 1890, leaving school to become an apprentice salesman at a tie company. From 1896 until 1899 he worked in the Statistical Office of Berlin, at the same time attending literature and art history lectures at the University of Berlin. Afterwards he worked as a freelance writer and art critic.His first book, 'Spielkinder', was published in 1896, but he did not become well-known until 1906, with the publication of 'Jettchen Gebert', followed by its sequel, 'Henriette Jacoby'. These novels told the story of the life of a young woman living in Jewish Berlin during the Biedermeier period of the 1820s and 1830s. Politically active, Georg Hermann was also a member of the Central-Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens.Having become known for his pacifist tendencies through his writing, and because of his Jewish heritage, Georg Hermann and his family fled to Holland shortly after the burning of the Reichstag in 1933. Although the rest of his family was saved from the Nazis after their occupation of Holland in 1943, Georg Hermann was sent to the Dutch concentration camp of Westerbork. On November 16, 1943 he was transported to Auschwitz and either died during transport or shortly after his arrival.Digital ImageRecord added to DigiTool. Aleph record suppressed. J.

What, where, and when? Mechanisms of learning biological motion representations
No full textThe understanding and recognition of human actions is one of the major challenges for technical
systems aiming at visual behavior analysis. Evidences from psychophysical and neurophysiological
studies provide indications on the feature characteristics and neural processing principles
involved in the perception of biological motion sequences. Modeling efforts from the field
of computational neuroscience complement these empirical findings by proposing potential
functional mechanisms and learning schemes enabling the establishment and recognition of
biological motion representations and show how such principles can be transferred to technical
domains.
First, results of psychophysical investigations are presented that demonstrate significant increases
in the human recognition performance for motion (sub-) sequences containing highly
articulated poses, which co-occur with local extrema in the motion energy and the extension of a
body. Such key poses thus qualify as candidates to establish biological motion representations.
Second, based on these findings, a neural model for the learning of biological motion representations
is presented. The model combines hierarchical feedforward and feedback processing
along the ventral (form; what) and dorsal (motion; where) pathways with an unsupervised
Hebbian learning mechanism for the learning of prototypical form and motion representations.
More specifically, gated learning in the form pathway realizes the selective learning of
highly articulated postures. Sequence selective representations are established using temporal
association learning driven by motion and form input. The proposed model shows how the
unsupervised learning of key poses can form the basis for the establishment of biological motion
representations and gives a potential explanation for empirically observed phenomena, such as
implied motion perception.
Third, as a transfer to technical application scenarios, a real-time biologically inspired action
recognition system is presented which automatically selects key poses in action sequences and
employs a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to learn class-specific pose representations.
The network is mapped onto a neuromorphic platform, enabling the real-time (~1000 fps)
and energy-efficient (~70 mW) assignment of key poses to action classes.
Last, it is shown how an associative learning scheme similar to the one applied in the neural
model for the learning of biological motion representations can be used for the learning of
visual category and subcategory representations. Here, instar learning is used to learn representations
of visual categories, while outstar learning on the other hand is applied to establish
representations of the expected input distribution. The category specific pattern is propagated
back to the preceding stage where a residual signal reflecting the difference to the current input
signal is derived. This difference is emphasized by modulation of the input with the residual
signal and a subsequent normalization. If the difference is large enough, a new subcategory
representation is established

Georg Trakl and melancholy
No full textThis paper identifies some of the decisive aspects of Georg Trakl’s poetry, taking as the starting point the author’s awareness about God’s death, from Nietzsche’s approach. Emphasis is placed on melancholy, support of the creation, testimony and acknowledgement of failure and grief of mankind, from which the author was able to express his discouragement upon the downfall and decline of the West.Se identificaron algunos aspectos determinantes de la obra poética de Georg Trakl, tomando como punto de partida la conciencia del escritor acerca de la muerte de Dios, desde la perspectiva de Nietzsche. Se hizo un énfasis sobre la melancolía, soporte de la creación, testimonio y reconocimiento del errar y el duelo del hombre, a partir de la cual el autor pudo expresar el desconsuelo por la ruina y el ocaso de Occidente

No full text“Polite Conversation is now Undesirable”: Peace and Agonism in Georg Johannesen’s Rhetoric
No full textSometimes, the voice for peace is aggressive, oppositional and agonistic to the point of violence. The Norwegian rhetorician, author and public intellectual Georg Johannesen (1931-2005) was no stranger to forceful rhetoric. Indeed, the promotion of peace by conscious and forceful articulation of agonism is one of the central and recurring motifs across his multifaceted oeuvre. In this article, I will focus on one, short, and relatively early text by Johannesen. It is an illustrative example of the rhetoric of what I suggest calling “counterhegemonic peace movements” in the nuclear age. Apart from introducing Georg Johannesen to a non-Norwegian public, the aim of this paper is to sketch out what I mean by that.publishedVersio
