Heiner Müller as the End of Brechtian Dramaturgy: Müller on Brecht in Two Lesser-Known Fragments
No full textTwo lesser-known fragments written by Heiner Müller in 1979 and 1990 openly refer to Brecht and offer perspectives on the problematic relationship between the two playwrights. Form and content in Brechtian dialectical theatre are treated ironically in both fragments. Müller reveals an ambivalence that accepts the tenets of Brechtian dramaturgy in order to surpass them. Müller criticizes perceived limitations in Brecht's poetics yet redirects the dialectic for the postmodern times in which he lived. The degree to which Müller radicalizes Brecht's principles and practice represents an endpoint of (but not an all-out break with) Brechtian dramaturgy. An important corollary of this conclusion is that Müller is still associated with the Enlightenment project. This latter assertion is at odds with many readings of the later plays as documentations of ‘the end of history’, a category Müller roundly criticized in his life and resisted in his own dialectical drama

What really matters: discounting, technological change and sustainable climate
No full textThis paper discusses the interplay between the choice of the discount rate, greenhouse gas mitigation and endogenous technological change. Neglecting the issue of uncertainty it is shown that the green golden rule stock of atmospheric carbon is uniquely determined, but is not affected by technological change. More general it is shown analytically within the framework of a reduced model of integrated assessment that optimal stationary stocks of atmospheric carbon depend on the choice of the discount rate, but are independent of the stock of technological knowledge. These results are then reinforced numerically in a fully specified integrated assessment analysis
From Admiration to Confrontation: Gunter Grass and the United States
No full textGunter Grass is. without doubt, the best known representative of postwar and contemporary German literature in the United States. A few random samples culled from reviews of Grass\u27s work in this country may suffice to illustrate this point. In 1964, on occasion of the English translation of Hundejahre (Dog Years), Newsweek wrote: Gunter Grass today is acknowledged as the author who put postwar German literature back in the world market. He is fast becoming a director of much of his country\u27s creative movement, a keeper of old myths and new methods. The Tin Drum, the novel that so far has determined Grass\u27s reception in this country-the voluminous and challenging The Flounder notwithstanding-was even credited with initiating the rebirth of German letters. The recent film version of The Tin Drum contributed to a revival of interest in the novel; in 1982 the novelist John Irving stated: Die Blechtrommel … has not been surpassed, it is the greatest novel by a living author.\u27\u27 Irving continued in his praise of the author of The Tin Drum by claiming that you can\u27t be well-read today if you haven\u27t read him. Gunter Grass is simply the most original and versatile writer alive. Although such lavish critical endorsement is not to be encountered in all quarters, at least one other segment of the reading public, the professional intermediaries of German literature, that is, the professors and teachers of German, seem to agree with Irving. In a literary opinion poll conducted by the Goethe Institute in Boston. Massachusetts, The Tin Drum ranked first among the professors\u27 favorite works of postwar German literature. Curiously, The Flounder attained second place-ahead of such redoubtable works as Thomas Mann\u27s Doctor Faustus, Heinrich Boll\u27s Group Portrait with Lady, and Max Frisch\u27s Homo Faber
Robust cluster analysis and variable selection
No full textClustering remains a vibrant area of research in statistics. Although there are many books on this topic, there are relatively few that are well founded in the theoretical aspects. In Robust Cluster Analysis and Variable Selection, Gunter Ritter presents an overview of the theory and applications of probabilistic clustering and variable selection, synthesizing the key research results of the last 50 years. The author focuses on the robust clustering methods he found to be the most useful on simulated data and real-time applications. The book provides clear guidance for the varying needs of bo
