"(D)ie alte Eva, die niemals auch aus dem neuesten Weibe auszutreiben ist" : An analysis of the female characters in Maria Janitscheks : Die neue Eva
No full textDie vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Frauenfiguren in Maria Janitscheks Novellenband 'Die neue Eva'. Das Einführungskapitel ist dem historischen und literarischen Kontext gewidmet und beleuchtet die Stellung der Frau zur Jahrhundertwende, die Frauenrechtsbewegung und die Frauenbilder in der Literatur des Fin de Siècle. Anschließend folgt ein Überblick über Maria Janitscheks Leben und Werk sowie ein der Analyse vorangestelltes Kapitel über die Publikationsgeschichte und Rezeption ihres 1902 erschienenen und sieben Jahre nach Veröffentlichung in Deutschland verbotenen Novellenbands. Zu Lebzeiten machte sich Maria Janitschek durch ihre freizügige Darstellung weiblicher Sexualität einen Namen als wagemutige Schrifstellerin, die sich aber aufgrund ihrer ambivalenten Haltung zur Frauenrechtsbewegung der Einordung als feministische Autorin entzieht. In 'Die neue Eva' entwirft Janitschek Frauenfiguren, die sich zwischen traditionellen Weiblichkeitsentwürfen und neuen Frauenbildern bewegen und die kulturellen, sozialen und wissenschaftlichen Einflüsse ihrer Zeit veranschaulichen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die dargestellten Frauenfiguren hinsichtlich dieser Einflüsse zu analysieren und zu zeigen, welche Geschlechterstereotype, gesellschaftlichen Normen und Moralvorstellungen ihr Handeln und Denken beeinflussen.This diploma thesis deals with the female characters in Maria Janitschek‘s volume of novellas 'Die neue Eva'. The introductory chapter focuses on the historical and literary context and therefore discusses womens position in society, the womens rights movement and the image of women in literature at the beginning of the 20th century. An overview of Maria Janitschek‘s life and art and an examination of the publication history and reception of her book, which was published in 1902 and forbidden in Germany in 1909, precede the analytical part of the thesis. Due to her unreserved depiction of female sexuality Maria Janitschek made a name for herself as a daring author during her lifetime. Nevertheless, she cannot be classified as a feminist writer due to her ambivalent position on the womens rights movement. In 'Die neue Eva' Maria Janitschek creates female characters who conform to traditional as well as progressive concepts of femininity and illustrate the cultural, social and scientific influences of their time. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the depicted female characters with regards to these influences and to show which gender stereotypes, societal norms and moral conceptions shape their thoughts and actions.vorgelegt von Lisa FrikasesAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der VerfasserinDiplomarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2021 3.167Zusammenfassungen auf Deutsch und Englisc
Does remediation save lives? On the cost of cleaning up arsenic-contaminated sites in Sweden
No full textSwedish environmental policy is based on 16 environmental quality objectives (Gov. Bill 2000/01:130 and Gov.Bill 2004/05:150).1 One of the most challenging objectives,‘A non toxic environment’, has two interim targets that concern remediation of contaminated sites. In sum, they state that the highest priority should be given to sites posing the highest risks to human health and the environment.2 By eliminating pollutants in soil, groundwater and sediment, the interim targets aim to reduce risks to human health and the environment. In Sweden, 83,000 sites are potentially contaminated due to previous industrial activities. According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the administrator of the governmental funds for remediation, approximately 1500 of these sites contain contaminant concentrations that could seriously harm human health and the environment (Swedish EPA, 2008a). To reach the interim targets, all these sites need to be remediated by 2050. Remediation of contaminated sites has so far cost more than SEK 3,000 million.3 The approximated cost to mitigate the potential risks at the most harmful sites is estimated at SEK 60,000 million.4 The Swedish government’s funding for remediation presently comes in the form of a directed grant (sakanslag). The directed grant, administrated by the Swedish EPA, subsidises remediation of contaminated sites that were contaminated prior to modern environmental legislation (in 1969) or for which no liable party can be found. The directed grant amounts to approximately 455 millions annually, which corresponds to about 10 percent of the annual national funds for environmental protection (Gov. Bill 2007/08:1). To make it possible to prioritise among contaminated sites, the Swedish EPA has developed a method for risk assessment called the ‘MIFO’ (i.e. the Method for Inventory of Contaminated Sites). The risk assessment does not take into account the actual exposure at a contaminated site. Risk is instead assessed based on divergence from guideline values for acceptable concentrations given a standardised (i.e. worst case) exposure situation on an individual level. This means that a site can be remediated without any individuals actually being exposed. The expected risk reduction is consequently not quantified. This eliminates the possibility of valuing the risk reduction, which should be weighed against the remediation cost. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how health effects, in the form of cancer risks, from sites contaminated by arsenic are valued implicitly in remediation. By using an environmental medicine approach that takes exposure into account, and without underestimating the potential health consequences of arsenic exposure, our purpose is to place arsenic risk management in the overall picture of live-saving interventions. In the case of cancer prevention, it is necessary to recognise that focus on an environmental carcinogen like arsenic may draw public attention – and funding – away from mental health risks like ambient air pollution and indoor radon. Although environmental pollution accounts for less than ten percent of all cancer cases (Harvard Centre for Cancer Prevention, 1996; Saracci and Vineis, 2007), environmental factors are important to recognize since they may be preventable. We emphasise, however, the inefficiency in becoming overly concerned about small risks while, at the same time, losing sight of the large risks. If society’s spending on lifesaving measures with small effects (i.e. a small number of lives saved) crowds out spending on lifesaving measures with large effects, then remediation can, in fact, even be said to waste lives. By using data on 23 arsenic-contaminated sites in Sweden, we estimate the sitespecific cancer risks and calculate the cost per life saved by using the sites’ remediation costs. Our results show that the cost per life saved through remediation is much higher than that associated with other primary prevention measures, indicating that the ambition level of Swedish remediation may be too high.
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
„Das Management muss das Bildungskonzept unterstützen“ : die Umsetzung der Lern- und Arbeitsgemeinschaft in Akutspitälern in der Deutschschweiz – Konzepte und Erfahrungen
No full textUm die Qualität der praktischen Ausbildung sicherzustellen, wurde im Universitätsspital Zürich (USZ) 2009 mit der „Lern- und Arbeitsgemeinschaft“ (LAG) ein Organisationskonzept und damit verbindliche Rahmenbedingungen für die praktische Ausbildung entwickelt (Panfil, Küng, Zürcher & Key, 2017). Andere Spitäler in der Deutschschweiz haben das Konzept der LAG vom USZ übernommen, an die institutionseigenen Rahmenbedingungen adaptiert und implementiert mit dem Ziel, die Lern- und Ausbildungsqualität zu optimiere
Maria meu amor… Uma leitura d’<em>A Monja de Lisboa</em> de Agustina Bessa-Luís [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textÉ por considerar que a obra A Monja de Lisboa de Agustina Bessa Luís tem um lugar seminal para a compreensão do conjunto da produção historiográfica da autora, que proponho desenvolver uma reflexão à volta do género biográfico, atentando, mais precisamente, nas implicações do acto de biografar e no seu impacto na imagem do sujeito biografado. As reflexões à volta da identidade de género trazidas pelo método metabiográfico definido por Dhúill, servirá para mostrar como a autora procura questionar as “narrativas de género” oferecidas pelos textos biográficos que ela reinveste para as desconstruir e dar um novo rosto à personagem histórica, Maria da Visitação. As I consider the work A Monja de Lisboa by Agustina Bessa Luís has a seminal place for the understanding of the whole historiographical production of this author, I propose to develop a reflection around the biographical genre, paying especial attention to the implications of the act of biographing and its impact on the image of the biographee. The reflections related to gender identity brought by the metabiographical method defined by Dhúill, will be used to show how the author seeks to question the “gender narratives” offered by the biographical texts she reinvests in her work to deconstruct them and be able to draw a new face for the historical figure, Maria da Visitação.</p
