perennare canendo. Die Vorstellung von der «Dichtung als Verewigung» in den carmina des Baudri von Bourgueil
No full textScholars agree that the poems of Baudri of Bourgueil are greatly indebted to the poetry of Ovid, the «tenerorum lusor amorum», and generally have the character of a literary game – in the neoteric sense of ludere – so that the author is by no means identical with the «I» of his poems, but slips into different roles. The fictional character of Baudri’s poetry has accordingly long been recognized. It is by recourse to ancient forms of thought and expression that Baudri’s work is able to address topics and adopt positions which conflict with the morals and expectations of his day. Thus, in his work we often encounter an idea which Ernst Robert Curtius, in his opus magnum «European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages», entitled «poetry as immortalization» – an idea that conflicts to a great extent with the Christian notion of eternal life. This article examines how Baudri in his carmina deals with the topos of immortalization through poetry and how much freedom he had to do so.

Lies den Josephus! – aber welchen? Zur handschriftlichen Überlieferung des Flavius Josephus im lateinischen Mittelalter
No full textLege Iosephi historias! This exhortation, issued multiple times and in various forms by the Church Father Jerome, has been followed by countless scholars and literary figures. But which Josephus did they actually read? In the Latin West from the 5th century onwards it was the late antique Latin translations of the two main historiographical works, the Bellum Iudaicum and the Antiquitates Iudaicae, and to a lesser extent the translation of the apologetic tract Contra Apionem. The Vita was not translated into Latin until the 16th century. The Christianizing adaptation of the Bellum, the so-called Ps. Hegesippus (De excidio urbis Hierosolymitanae), also circulated until about 1000 under the name of Josephus.
These texts, which between them constitute the ancient Josephus Latinus, has an extremely rich tradition with some 230 preserved manuscripts. It is also multiform: Not all manuscripts contain the same collection of texts. Readers who only had the Bellum got to know a different Josephus to those who had access to a manuscript in which the "Old Testament" books of the Antiquitates (I-XII) were combined with the early Christian testimonies of Books XVIII-XX, possibly supplemented by the Ps.-Hegesippus.
It was not only the composition of the available manuscripts that influenced the understanding of author and work. Individual presentation - for instance by book decoration - likewise drew attention to certain passages, and the provision of annotations could suggest a certain understanding of the text.
This article offers an insight into various material manifestations of Josephus Latinus and explores their effects on his reception
Virtual vs. Standard Strike: An Experiment
No full textIn this paper we compare - in the laboratory - stoppage and virtual strike. Our experiment confirms that higher wages offered by an employer lead to considerably more costly effort provision. The number of strikes, the level of efforts and average total payoffs are higher under virtual strike than under standard strike. However, when standard strike is associated with reciprocal externalities, it induces higher effort levels, higher payoffs and an extremely reduced number of strikes than virtual strike. It is unclear whether this behavior re?ects reciprocity or other forms of social preferences. However our results might explain why standard strikes rather than virtual ones are generally adopted by workers.virtual strike, cooperation, reciprocity, fairness, experiments
Self-Portrait in Bed. A Case Study of Carlo Mollino’s ‘Bedroom for a Farmhouse in the Rice Fields’
No full textIn January 1943, Domus presented in its typical solutions series Carlo Mollino’s bedroom for a farmhouse in the rice fields (camera da letto per una cascina in risaia). This bedroom designed for publication in a magazine, was entirely imagined, and in part materialized, by and for its author. Published during World War II, this highly personal project, centered around the person in the bed, can be seen as an act of escapism. This paper identifies the project as a work of autobiography, and explores this notion through a close reading of its architectural representational media: text, photography and drawing

The UDK Web Editor – A Collaborative Tool to Support the Implementation of the EC Directive on Public Access to Environmental Information (2003/4/EC)
No full textThe European Directive on Public Access to Environmental Information (2003/4/EC) requires EU Member States to actively disseminate environmental information to the public. On the European Level there is no guidance or implementation regulation for a harmonized implementation available for this. The result is a strong variation of the state of implementation within EU Member States and across Europe. As a consequence, there is a high risk for Member States and Regional Authorities for becoming the subject of lawsuits based on non-compliance with the directive. In response, the Ministry of Environment of the State of Lower Saxony (MELS) has produced an organizational and technical model to supply relevant environmental information on time and in an up-to-date status. The main strategy is to keep tab on every peace of environmental information in the MELS business division, complying with the mandatory core of information as specified in the directive’s article 7. This information is catalogued in the State’s environmental information catalogue system and assigned an expiration date. An Editing System has been developed on the basis of the collaboration platform MERMIG, enabling the maintenance of the catalogue through the use of as standard web browser. Furthermore, the system keeps tab on the information objects and notifies the object’s author to review the information object after the expiration date has passed. In this way the State of Lower Saxony complies with the proactive tenor of the directive and ensures to have at any time control on the environmental information available. On a second level, MELS works on making all environmental information available through the ministries internet portal.
Strong consideration has been given to interoperability aspects. The technical solution presented here is fully Open Source based and completely Web based. It uses State of the Art tools and technologies in a distributed architecture.http://www.ak-uis.de/download/Abschlussberichte/2006-Hoexter-3184.pdf#page=2
