    Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden

    No full text
    This essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

    How Plays Work

    Martin Meisel's book looks at how we read plays on the page. Cultivated in tone and jargon-free, his incisive account is illuminated by dozens of judiciously chosen examples from western drama - from classical Greek dramatists to contemporary playwrights, both canonical and relatively obscure.Martin Meisel's book looks at how we read plays on the page.

    Verwundbarkeit der Umwelt gegenüber Hochwasserereignissen: eine Untersuchung auf kommunaler Ebene

    No full text
    Bedingt durch den globalen Klimawandel werden Hochwasserereignisse mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit intensiver und häufiger. In jüngster Zeit werden für einen gezielten Hochwasserschutz zunehmend Verwundbarkeitsanalysen durchgeführt. Meist steht dabei die Verwundbarkeit der Gesellschaft im Fokus. Diese Arbeit widmet sich der Verwundbarkeit der Umwelt gegenüber Hochwasserereignissen. Betrachtet wird ausschließlich die Verwundbarkeit gegenüber potenziellen Schadwirkungen aus ungesicherten Kontaminationsquellen. Es wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, mit dem unter Anwendung der Systemtheorie diese Verwundbarkeit in urbanen Räumen ermittelt werden kann. Dieses wissenschaftlich hergeleitete Verfahren wird danach in einen Praxisleitfaden, der eine GIS-basierte Schritt für Schritt-Anleitung zur Bestimmung der Umweltverwundbarkeit darstellt, überführt. Da dieses Verfahren auf Daten basiert, die üblicherweise in den Kommunen vorliegen, ist eine Übertragbarkeit auf alle Kommunen gegeben.Due to global climate change, there is a high probability that flood events will become more acute and more frequent. In recent times, vulnerability analyses have increasingly been carried out for targeted flood protection. Generally, the vulnerability of society is the focus in such analyses. This study addresses the vulnerability of the environment to flood events. It exclusively examines vulnerability regarding potential harmful effects from insecure sources of contamination. A method is presented by which this vulnerability in urban spaces can be determined using system theory. This scientifically derived method then leads into practical guidelines that represent GIS-based, step-by-step instructions for calculating environmental vulnerability. Since this method is based on data that is generally available in municipalities, it is possible to apply it to all municipalities

    Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education

    No full text
    We describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
