Sedimentologie und Verwitterungsbeständigkeit des Wellenkalks (Unterer Muschelkalk) von Osnabrück
No full textDie Sedimentologie und Verwitterungsbeständigkeit des Osnabrücker Weilenkalks (Unterer Muschelkalk) werden an Mauersteinen aus zwei Gebäuden in Osnabrück und an Proben aus dem Steinbruch im Botanischen Garten Osnabrück untersucht. Es lassen sich 6 Mikrofaziestypen (A-F) unterscheiden, die ausführlich beschrieben werden. Ihre Analyse erlaubt detaillierte Aussagen zum Sedimentationsraum und zur Entstehung. Darauf aufbauend werden die in der Schichtenfolge beobachtbaren Sedimentationszyklen auf Meeresspiegeländerungen zurückgeführt. Es lassen sich deutliche Unterschiede in der Verwitterungsbeständigkeit der verschiedenen Mikrofaziestypen erkennen. Am verwitterungsbeständigsten sind die Mikrofaziestypen A und B, durch Sturmfluten entstandene Lagen im unteren und oberen Teil des Oolithbank-Members der Wellenkalk-Formation. Die Mikrofaziestypen A und B sind so verwitterungsbeständig., da sie nicht feingeschichtet sind und freiwillige Wasseraufnahme, Schurecht-Ratio (= freiwillige Wasseraufnahme geteilt durch effektive Porosität) sowie der Gehalt an salzsäureunlöslichem Rückstand relativ gering sind.Sedimentology and weathering durability of the Osnabrück Wellenkalk limestone (Lower Muschelkalk) are investigated at stones from two building walls in Osnabrück and at sam pies from the quarry of the Botanical Garden Osnabrück. Six microfacies types (A-F) are distinguished and described in detail. The microfacies analysis gives detailed informations about the sedimentary environment. Based on these informations the observed sedimentary cycles are attributed to sea-Ievel changes. The dinstinguished microfacies types show clear differences in their weathering durability. The best durability have the microfacies types A and B, wh ich are tempestite layers in the lower and the upper part of the Oolith bank Member of the Wellenkalk Formation. The microfacies types A and B have such a good weathering durability, because they are not laminated and their quantities of the cold water absorption, the Schurecht ratio (= ratio cold/boiling water absorption), and the residue insoluble by hydrocloric acid are relatively low

I Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.

Zur Konstituierung kulturellen Eigentums durch geografische Herkunftsangaben
No full textSoftcover, 17x24Namen wie „Allgäuer Emmentaler“, „Dresdner Christstollen“ oder „Bayerisches Bier“ bezeichnen nicht nur kulinarische Produkte, sondern verorten diese in bestimmten Regionen, verknüpfen sie mit Erinnerungen und Assoziationen, suggerieren dadurch nicht allein räumliche, sondern auch historisch-tradierte Gebundenheit. Naheliegend, dass solche Namen einen Reiz darstellen – für die Kunden, die zwischen ähnlichen Produkten wählen, für die Hersteller, involviert in einen internationalen Wettbewerb, und nicht zuletzt für die Politik, interessiert an Schutz und Förderung der eigenen Wirtschaft. Entsprechend etablierte die Europäische Union ein Rechtsinstrument, das den Umgang mit geografischen Herkunftsangaben Bündnisweit reguliert. Es fußt auf der Annahme, dass Regionen über klimatische, geo- und biologische, doch auch kulturhistorische Charakteristika verfügen.
Am Beispiel der geschützten Ursprungsbezeichnung und vier exemplarisch gewählten Spezialitäten (Allgäuer Emmentaler, Odenwälder Frühstückskäse, Piave und Parmigiano Reggiano) erarbeitet die Autorin eine ethnografisch dichte, international vergleichende Beschreibung lokaler wie transnationaler Praktiken im europäischen Geoschutzsystem. Sie verbindet Interessensfelder der Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaft und macht diese zu einem kulturwissenschaftlichen Gegenstand, wenn sie das Spannungsfeld von regionaler (kulinarischer) Kultur und wirtschaftlicher Inwertsetzung beleuchtet und auf Interessen, Strategien und Konflikte fokussiert, die die Transformation von präsumiert regional tradierten Produkten in rechtlich geschütztes kollektives Eigentum begleiten.Article descriptions such as “Allgäuer Emmentaler,” “Dresdner Christstollen” or “Bayerisches Bier” do not simply name culinary products, but locate them in certain regions and link them to memories and associations. They prove not only a spatial (geographic), but also a temporal (traditional) embedding in a certain region of origin. Such names are self-evidently attractive to clients, who have the choice between similar products, to producers, who are involved in international competition, and not least to politicians, who are interested in the protection and promotion of the economy in their areas of responsibility. Accordingly, the European Union (EU) established a legal instrument which regulates the use of geographical indications. It is based on the assumption that regions have common climatic, geological, biological and cultural characteristics.
Using the example of geographical indications and four exemplarily chosen specialties (the cheeses: Allgäuer Emmentaler, Odenwälder Frühstückskäse, Piave and Parmigiano Reggiano), Sarah May has developed an ethnographically thick, internationally comparative description of local and transnational practices in the system of EU quality schemes for agricultural products. She combines terms and theses of law and economics and translates them into an issue of cultural anthropology: She focuses on regional (culinary) culture and its economic valorization, on the interests, strategies and conflicts which accompany the transformation of regional handed-down practices and products into legally protected, spatially limited collective property
Freedom of choice or force of circumstance? : Eastern European sex-workers in the Republic of Cyprus ; paper for the conference 'Alltag der Globalisierung. Perspektiven einer transnationalen Anthropologie', January 16-18, 2003, Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main
No full textThis paper focuses on Eastern European migrants who, since the beginning of the 1990s, are entering the Republic Cyprus as “artistes”. This is a visa permit status as well as an euphemism for short-term work permits in the local sex industry. In addition to exploring the migrational experiences of these women and their living and working conditions in the Republic of Cyprus, the paper reconstructs, empirically and analyt ically, the connection between immigration and the local sex industry. Here, several categories of social actors and institutions in Cyprus are actively involved. The rhetoric of government representatives, entrepreneurs and clients in the sex business on the one hand is contrasted with the discourse of local NGO representatives concerned with immigrants’ rights on the other hand. The paper comes to the conclusion that all of these discursive positions ultimately do not do justice to the complex process of decisionmaking that women undergo who migrate into the sex industry. Either, freedom of choice is emphasized – such as by entrepreneurs and the government – or the domination of women – as in the public statements of the NGO. In order to analyze the ambivalent tension between freedom of choice and submission to force by which the women’s decision is characterized, the author employs Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality, which describes forms of political regulation that use the individual’s freedom of action as an instrument to exercise power

Metamorphosis
No full textIn Metamorphosis I am exploring on one of the great mysteries of life though the transformation of fly larvae. Maggots are more commonly associated with death and decay, but like caterpillars they undergo a stage of transition before emerging as exquisite insects.
In this movie, I have visualised and animated virtual pupa data captured through the science of 3D Microcomputed X-ray Tomography led by forensic research at the Natural History Museum in London. This new work is a result of her collaborative relationship with key researchers in visualising 3D and 4D data captured with Micro-CT at the NHM Imaging and Analysis Centre. My residency at the NHM in 2015 was supported by an arts ACT project grant.
