(Re-)creating the past: national identity and authenticity in Julian Barnes' England, England and Brian Moore's The Great Victorian Collection
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit diskutiert Auffassungen über Authentizität und Nationale Identität in Julian Barnes’ England, England und Brian Moore’s The Great Victorian Collection. Julian Barnes und Brian Moore bearbeiten postmoderne Themen in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Realität und Authentizität. Brian Moore diskutiert die Möglichkeit der Ununterscheidbarkeit zwischen Original und Replika, Julian Barnes verdeutlicht die Konsequenzen eines Nationalgefühls, das sich auf die Vorstellung einer verklärten Vergangenheit stützt anstatt sich den Problemen der Gegenwart zu stellen.
Die postmoderne Diskussion hinterfragt Theorien der Moderne. In der Moderne entwickelten sich Nationalstaaten zur grundlegenden politischen Struktur, die eine für den aufkommenden Kapitalismus unabdingbare Einheit und Gleichheit ermöglichte. Die postmoderne Kritik unterstreicht, dass diese Ordnung nicht natürlich ist, sondern auf ein tatsächliches Chaos von Fragmenten aufgezwungen wurde. Theorien der Postmoderne betonen die Uneinigkeit und Künstlichkeit von Nationalstaaten. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass ein Nationalstaat aus vielen verschiedenen und sogar untereinander gegensätzlichen Gruppierungen besteht. Die einheitliche Identifikation der Bürger mit einem Nationalstaat basiert auf der Vorstellung einer andauernden, geteilten Geschichte, und einer Betonung von Gemeinsamkeiten und vermeintlichen Unterschieden gegenüber Anderen. Diese Vorstellung von Einigkeit und Gemeinsamkeit wird in der Postmoderne als Konstrukt enthüllt.
In ähnlicher Weise betonen postmoderne Theorien die Konstruiertheit der Vorstellung eines einheitlichen, wahren Selbst. Das Selbst wird empfunden als eine Ansammlung von zahlreichen, untereinander teilweise widerstreitenden, Teilen.
Die Entwicklung der Industrialisierung im Kapitalismus der Moderne führte zur Auflösung bestehender lokaler Strukturen, und somit zu einer Entwurzelung der Individuen. Am Ende des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts verlangt der Konsumkapitalismus von den Menschen Mobilität und Wandelbarkeit. In dieser Phase der Globalisierung verlieren Nationalstaaten an Bedeutung. Persönliche Qualitäten wie Charakterstärke und Authentizität geraten in den Hintergrund, während die Fähigkeit zur Verstellung und ein hohes Maß an Flexibilität geachtet werden und Erfolg versprechen.
Diese Entwicklung bringt ein Gefühl des Verlustes mit sich, ein Gefühl von Heimatlosigkeit, Wurzellosigkeit, und Uneinigkeit mit sich selbst.
Die postmoderne nostalgische Sehnsucht nach einer idealisierten Vergangenheit basiert auf diesem Gefühl des Verlustes einer ehemaligen Einigkeit.
Die Besucher von Themenparks und heritage sites sehnen sich nach dem Erlebnis einer glorifizierten Vergangenheit, wobei die Authentizität der dargestellten Geschichte zweitrangig ist.
Julian Barnes und Brian Moore beschreiben die Errichtung und den Erfolg von Themenparks. Ungeachtet der Künstlichkeit der dargebotenen Shows und so mancher Ausstellungsstücke genießen postmoderne Besucher von Themenparks deren Hyperrealität, die ein Gefühl von Ganzheit und Einheit vermittelt.
Das erste Kapitel der Arbeit stellt zunächst die Gedankenwelt der Postmoderne dar. Die postmoderne Welt am Ende des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts verlangt Mobilität, Anpassung, und Verstellung. Hierin gründet das Gefühl der Nostalgie nach Ganzheit und Zugehörigkeit, welches im zweiten Kapitel untersucht wird. Das dritte Kapitel ist der Struktur des Nationalstaates gewidmet, die in einem komplexen Zusammenspiel von Politik, Geschichte, und den Bedürfnissen der Gegenwart eine Möglichkeit der Identifikation darstellt, welche Ganzheit und Zugehörigkeit verspricht. Das vierte Kapitel zeigt, dass die Identifikation mit einem Nationalstaat auf der Vorstellung einer gemeinsamen Geschichte basiert, wie sie in Museen und heritage sites bewahrt und bestimmt wird, und wie sie durch die Ausübung – oder Einführung – von Traditionen gelebt wird.
Das fünfte Kapitel diskutiert den Zusammenhang zwischen Authentizität und Erschaffung, und zeigt, dass die Grenzen fließend sind, da seit jeher Traditionen und Gepflogenheiten zugunsten der Bedürfnisse der Gegenwart abgewandelt wurden. Julian Barnes und Brian Moore demonstrieren, dass in der Tourismusindustrie Authentizität an Wert verloren hat, da postmoderne Reisende, die an Simulationen gewöhnt sind, sich mit leichter erreichbaren Nachbildungen begnügen. Abschließend lässt sich feststellen, dass die Vorstellung einer ehemaligen Vollkommenheit und Heimat in der Vergangenheit der Auseinandersetzung mit den Bedürfnissen der Gegenwart im Wege steht. Dies äußert sich letztlich politisch, wie das gegenwärtig vorherrschende Misstrauen gegenüber supranationalen Strukturen wie der Europäischen Union zeigt
No.497 Brian Smoot
No full textTranscript (34, 43 pages) of two interviews by Erik Solberg with Brian Smoot on June 20 and August 28, 2007. Second interview placed firstSmoot (b. 1960) recalls growing up in Salt Lake City, outdoor activities in scouting programs, and summers at the family cabin in Woodland, Utah. He and his brother hiked regularly in the Wasatch mountains and began climbing on a small crag found on one of their hikes. Although self-trained, they took climbing very seriously and were able to climb both Half Dome and El Cap in Yosemite National Park when they were 18 years old. Smoot talks about climbers he admired at Yosemite, including Royal Robbins, Tom Frost, Yvon Chouinard, Chuck Pratt, and Warren Harding. Local climbers he admired include the Lowes and Mark McQuarrie. Improvements in climbing technology discussed include cams, TCUs, FriXions, Five Ten shoes, ice axes, and the express ice screw. He also talks about climbing ethics and environmental issues. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation Oral History Project. Interviewer: Erik Solber
Cognition and visual information: an examination of human evolution, cognitive models and my artistic practice
No full textAn examination of my cross-disciplinary artistic practice that attempts to bring together Asian meditative disciplines with Western inquiry through visualizing social and physical statistics. As I explore the relationship between language and sensation, I use Charles Pierce's three referential modes: the iconic, indexical and symbol-symbol to view how humanity as come to understand the world through images, objects and rituals. Paralleling this investigation is a systems theory that attempts to visualize the fluidity of a non-discrete universe where social interaction correlates with the physical world.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 39-42)by Brian J Bulfe
Public Perceptions of Genetically Modified Foods: Americans Know Not What They Eat
No full textBiotechnology stands to be a defining technology in the future of food and agriculture. Proponents argue that science and industry are poised to bring consumers a wide variety of products that have potential for meeting basic food needs, as well as delivering a wide-range of health, environmental and economic benefits. Opponents counter that the potential exists for unintended consequences, ranging from ecological disruption to adverse human health implications, and that these risks are not fully understood. Fundamental questions exist, however, regarding the general public’s position on food products derived with the use of biotechnology. To address these questions, the Food Policy Institute addressed consumers using computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) system, a public phone survey of a sample selection of 1203 U.S. residents was administered between March and April 2001. The questionnaire was developed to address perceived gaps in the current literature on American consumer awareness, acceptance, and perceptions of food biotechnology and to serve as the basis for a set of longitudinal studies that will be able to track public opinion over time.Food Policy Institute Publication Number RR-0302-001

Paleopedology And taphonomy Of The Brian Maebius Site, Badlands National Park, South Dakota
No full textThe Brian Maebius Site in Badlands National Park, S.D. is located in the lower/middle Scenic Member of the Oligocene Brule Formation of the White River Group. The Site is a collection of fluvially reworked volcaniclastic and epiclastic sediments of mudstones, channel sandstones, siltstones, and vertebrate fossils. Macroscopic, microscopic, and geochemical data that I collected at Brian Maebius suggests that paleosols are prevalent and consist predominantly of weakly developed Haplustalfs, Haplustepts, and one pervasive, strongly developed Paleudalf, which is informally referred to as the Hay Butte Marker Bed. Data also indicates that these paleosols represent sub-humid to semi-arid and semi-forested to savanna paleoenvironments within a meandering to anastomosing floodplain setting. Taphonomic data indicates that the Brian Maebius Site contains weakly to moderately weathered, disarticulated, fluvially abraded, carnivore processed, and mostly randomly oriented vertebrate fossils that are adjacent and laterally traceable to the Haplustalfs and Haplustepts. These taphonomic indicators suggest that attritional accumulation and/or predators proximal to an oxbow setting and active stream channel were responsible for bone accumulation, and that periodic flooding events transported and buried faunal remains. This research is part of a program sponsored by the National Park Service to document and protect fossil resources within Badlands National Park. Detailed analyses of sedimentology, paleopedology, stratigraphic position, and geographic distribution of fossil sites will help to interpret the effect of basin dynamics on bone bed genesis, generate models to predict new sites, and help protect bones from poaching.Earth and Environmental ScienceAccompanied by one .pdf file: 1) Factor-Supplemental-2002.pd
