Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
The Rutgers Open Access Policy goes into effect: Faculty reaction and implementation lessons learned
No full textFrom laying the groundwork for the successful passage of a university-wide Open Access policy, through the development and planning that goes into a successful implementation, to “Day One” when the official university policy goes into effect, there is a long list of factors that affect faculty interest, participation and compliance. The authors, Mullen and Otto, having detailed earlier aspects of the Rutgers University Open Access Policy passage and implementation planning, analyze and share the specifics that followed the rollout of the Policy and that continue to affect participation. This case study presents some strategies and systems used to enhance author self-archiving in the newly minted SOAR (Scholarly Open Access at Rutgers) portal of the Rutgers institutional repository, including involvement of departmental liaison librarians, effective presentation of metrics, and a focus on targeted communication with faculty. Roadblocks encountered as faculty began to deposit their scholarship and lessons learned are a focus. Early reaction from faculty and graduate students (doctoral students and postdocs) to various aspects of the Policy as well as the use of SOAR for depositing their work are included
Rudolf Otto filosofo della religione
No full textLo straordinario successo del Sacro (1917), che ha reso celebre Rudolf Otto, ha provocato, per contraccolpo, la diffusione di una figura stilizzata dell’autore, impoverita dall’oblio toccato al resto della sua produzione e da letture parziali e semplificative. Una ricostruzione genetica del modo in cui Otto impone la nozione di «heilig» nel lessico tedesco specializzato, muovendo da Lutero e opponendo al neokantismo una lettura friesiana del trascendentale, fa emergere la qualità filosofica di una teoria del religioso che rivela convergenze insospettate con la fenomenologia husserliana. The extraordinary success of The Holy (1917) made Rudolf Otto famous, but it also contributed to propagate a simplified figure of the author. The rest of his work was condemned to oblivion, which caused misleading interpretations of The Holy itself. A genetic reconstruction of the way in which Otto established the term «heilig» in the technical German proves to be fruitful. When considering his interpretation of Luther and his Fries-based opposition to a neoKantian approach to the concept of «transcendental», the philosophical relevance of Otto’s theory of religion can be fully recognized, as well as unsuspected links to Husserlian phenomenology
Open access policymaking: roles for academic librarians as “change agents” in research institutions
No full textMany institutions have voted to pass open access policies. It has often been stated that a “faculty champion” needs to be identified in order for any policy to move successfully through various university stakeholder groups. Librarians have been warned not to make open access a “library issue.” At the same time, academic librarians already possess demonstrated expertise in repository development, have established liaison relationships with departmental faculty, and are most likely to have deep knowledge of scholarly communication and publishing trends. Librarians can leverage this expertise and experience by taking on open access leadership roles in the wider institution. Academic librarians can become true change agents in the transformation of institutional scholarly communication practices. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, working through a small Senate open access subcommittee with librarian leadership provided by the authors, successfully passed an open access policy resolution in October, 2012.This paper, presented at the QQML Conference in Rome in June, 2013 will be published in the QQML e-journal.Mullen, Laura Bowering and Jane Johnson Otto (2013).

Otto Leichter. Briefe ohne Antwort
No full textThe text at issue written by Otto Leichter for his wife from September 1938 to August 1939 in his Exile in Paris is a unique documentation of the inside view of the loss of a beloved person during the time of one year. In addition to that the diary in letters is of great historic and social importance because both, the writer and the addressee were important persons in Austrian history, who were threatened as Social Democrats and by the race laws of Nuremberg as Jews.
In the diary in letters Otto Leichter reported about his living conditions in the exile in Paris. Different to papers which were written for a greater group of readers, the author did not have to show consideration for other people. He could write down his real opinions and estimations but also his needs and aversions. So Otto Leichter reported about himself, his social surroundings, his view of the political development but also about Käthe Leichter and his relationship to her but also about her frame of mind in view of the various reprisals. We can see continuity as his longing for her, his hope for a reunion and his keen mind in political interests. But we also see the break in his relationship to political companions and the great loss of his trust in European politics. In addition to that we can observe how Otto Leichter vacillated between very realistic political analyses and the resulting despair and his desperately cling to the hope for reunion.
His manifold description of problems caused by the separation is firstly a documentation of suffer, but it also marks the strong connection between the two partners. Otto Leichter lost his closest reliable person, the mother of his children, his sexual partner and his most important political companion, and he suffered very hard on the separation.
Käthe Leichter, the real addressee could not ever see these words (she was murdered at concentration camp in 1942), but the diary in letters is a really extraordinary source for historical research, that should be available for a greater number of readers as scientific edition.Der vorliegende Text, den Otto Leichter von September 1938 - August 1939 im Pariser Exil für seine damalige Ehefrau verfasste, dokumentiert auf einzigartige Weise die Innenansicht des Verlustes eines geliebten Menschen über den Zeitraum von einem Jahr. Zusätzlich erhält dieses Brieftagebuch noch dadurch besondere historische und gesellschaftliche Relevanz, da es sich beim Schreiber und bei der Adressatin dieses Textes um zwei bekannte Persönlichkeiten der österreichischen Geschichte handelt, die beide als Sozialdemokraten und nach den Nürnberger Rassegesetzen auch als Juden bedroht waren.
Otto Leichter berichtete im Brieftagebuch auf sehr persönliche Weise über seine Lebensumstände als Exilant in Paris. Anders als in Texten, die einer größeren Gruppe von Menschen zugänglich waren, brauchte der Autor hier überhaupt keine Rücksicht auf die Öffentlichkeit oder auf die Verletzlichkeit von ihm nahestehenden Personen zu machen; er konnte seinen Ansichten, Einschätzungen, aber auch seinen Nöten und Abneigungen ungeschminkt Ausdruck verleihen. Otto Leichter schrieb über sich, seinen sozialen Umraum, seine Sicht der politischen Entwicklung, und auch über Käthe Leichter und seine Beziehung zu ihr, und auch immer wieder über ihre Verfassung angesichts der vielfältigen Repressalien. Wir betrachten Kontinuitäten, wie seine ungebrochene Sehnsucht nach ihr, seine Hoffnung auf ein Wiedersehen und seinen politischen Scharfsinn. Wir sehen aber auch die Brüche in den Beziehungen zu politischen Weggefährten und den großen Verlust des Vertrauens in die europäischen Politik insgesamt. Weiters können wir in diesen Aufzeichnungen beobachten, wie Otto Leichter zwischen sehr realistischen politischen Analysen, der daraus resultierenden Verzweiflung, und dem krampfhaften Festhalten an der Hoffnung auf ein Wiedersehen mit seiner Frau schwankte.
Seine vielfältigen Schilderungen der Probleme, die ihm die Trennung verursachte, sind natürlich in erster Linie eine Dokumentation des Leidens, sie markieren aber auch die starke Verbundenheit zwischen den auseinandergerissenen Ehepartnern. Otto Leichter war seiner engsten Vertrauensperson, der Mutter seiner Kinder, der Sexualpartnerin und auch einer seiner wichtigsten politischen Weggefährtinnen beraubt, und litt sehr schwer unter der Trennung.
Käthe Leichter, die eigentliche Adressatin sollte diesen Text nie zu Gesicht bekommen (sie wurde 1942 im KZ ermordet), aber für die Geschichtswissenschaft stellt das Brieftagebuch eine ganz außerordentliche Quelle dar, die auf jeden Fall einer größeren Zahl von Lesern als kommentierte wissenschaftliche Edition zur Verfügung gestellt werden sollte
Entropic Burgers’ equation via a minimizing movement scheme based on the Wasserstein metric
No full textAs noted by the second author in the context of unstable two-phase porous medium flow, entropy solutions of Burgers’ equation can be recovered from a minimizing movement scheme involving the Wasserstein metric in the limit of vanishing time step size (Otto, Commun Pure Appl Math, 1999). In this paper, we give a simpler proof by verifying that the anti-derivative is a viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton Jacobi equation
A Sound Strategy for Preservation: Adapting Audio Engineering SocietyTechnical Metadata for Use in Multimedia Repositories
No full textPreservation of our audiovisual heritage is critical, and technical metadata is at the heart of any effective preservation program. This paper documents the efforts of Rutgers University Libraries to implement the Audio Engineering Society’s draft “Audio Object” schema, AESX098B, extend it for moving images, align it with existing standards, and integrate it with technical metadata for text, three-dimensional objects, and graphics. The paper compares several existing and emerging technical metadata standards, provides a description and assessment of the AES schema, and concludes with an application profile for several New Jersey repositories.This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the Cataloging & Classification Quarterly © 2010 Taylor & Francis; Cataloging & Classification Quarterly is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com
MIC metadata strategies: Thinking beyond asset management
No full textThis paper examines the metadata strategies of Moving Image Collections (MIC), a collaboration of the Library of Congress and the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). MIC offers a union catalog, archive directory and informational resources about moving images and their preservation, through a portal structure delivering customized information to diverse constituencies. The paper discusses three key principles underlying MIC’s strategy and how they have been applied to meet the respective missions of the two co-sponsors. The key principles are promotion of standards, acceptance of diversity in collections and schemas, and the need to extend effective metadata use to all repositories. This visionary metadata strategy takes MIC’s functionalities beyond asset management. MIC creates a framework for collaborative community building and an R&D platform to explore issues of digital rights management, low-level indexing and the intersection of public and private sector goals, in an effort to advance the Library of Congress mission to preserve and educate.Peer reviewe
