The Power of Language and Silence: Reinhard Jirgl’s Die Stille
No full textReinhard Jirgl (1953–) is an emphatically German author. He insists that German is “die Sprache in der ich denke, spreche und schreibe,”¹ and the award of several prestigious prizes (including the Büchner Prize in 2010) has confirmed his place in the German literary tradition. Yet Jirgl uses the German language in consistently and characteristically iconoclastic ways to challenge the authority of historical, political, and institutional discourse. Precisely because his work went against the ideological prescriptions of the East German state, it remained unpublished in the GDR, where Jirgl lived and worked. Since unification he has become a prolific author,..
Orbital compactness and asymptotic behaviour of nonlinear parabolic systems with functionals
No full textSynopsisWeakly coupled semilinear parabolic systems of the form with homogeneous boundary conditions are studied. The nonlinear function g: C([−r, 0] × Ω ℝn) → ℝn is assumed to be locally Lipschitz continuous with r≧0 a given real number and Ω ⊂ ℝm a bounded domain, , ut for t ≧ 0 is denned by ut (σ, ξ) = u(t + σ, ξ), − r ≦σ ≦ 0 ξ ∊Ω and A is a uniformly elliptic second order diagonal operator. Let u be a bounded classical solution. We first establish precompactness results for the orbit of u in several function spaces. Using these results and assuming that a Liapunov function V is known for the corresponding ordinary functional differential equation ż =g(zt), we then show under some general conditions that the limit set ω+ (as t→∞) of u consists of spatially homogeneous functions only. Moreover, ω+ is invariant with respect to z = g(z,) and V = 0 on ω+. The proof uses a Liapunov function for the full system whichis obtained from V via a simple construction (cf. (3.3)). The theory is illustrated with an example.</jats:p

The non-linearitygis assumed to be locally Lipschitz-continuous. It is shown that the orbit of a bounded regular solutionuis relatively compact in.</jats:p

No full textReinhard Köhler's scientific production: words, numbers and pictures
No full textThis study draws upon statistical analysis techniques of textual data to examine a corpus composed of 22 research articles published between 1997 and 2010 by Reinhard Köhler as a single author or in collaboration with other scholars. The aim of this article is to draw a representation of the main areas of interest of his research. After having drawn an overall representation of the corpus, Köhler’s latest work – an unpublished volume on Quantitative Syntax Analysis – was analysed to understand its role within the context of his research
Review: Reinhard Müller (2008). Marienthal: Das Dorf - Die Arbeitslosen - Die Studie
No full textDas Buch von Reinhard MÜLLER beschäftigt sich mit der bekannten Studie "Die Arbeitslosen von Marienthal" von Marie JAHODA, Paul F. LAZARSFELD und Hans ZEISEL (1933, 1960, 1975). In seinem sozialhistorischen Zugang gelingt es MÜLLER, interessante Details zur Studie selbst sowie zur Gemeinde und zur Fabrik zu präsentieren. Mehr als die Hälfte des Buches ist der Entwicklung der Arbeitersiedlung Marienthal gewidmet, beginnend bei der Gründung des Dorfes und danach der Textilfabrik. Eingegangen wird auf historische Ereignisse, bedeutende Personen und Entwicklungen in der Gemeinde. Im anderen Teil werden zusätzliche Informationen rund um die Studie präsentiert. Porträts und Erinnerungen der Projektmitarbeiter/innen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Das Buch ermöglicht nicht nur einen tieferen Einblick in die klassische Studie und Marienthal, es veranschaulicht auch (österreichische) Geschichte an einer Gemeinde.The book by Reinhard MÜLLER deals with the well-known study "Marienthal: The Sociography of an Unemployed Community" by Marie JAHODA, Paul F. LAZARSFELD, and Hans ZEISEL (1933, 1971). The author presents interesting socio-historical details about the study itself as well as about the community and factory. More than half of the book is dedicated to the development of the workers' settlement of Marienthal, starting with the founding of the village and then the textile factory. The author describes historical events, important people' and developments in the community. Also additional information - portraits and memories - about the well-known study is presented. The book not only enables a deeper insight into the classical study and the settlement of Marienthal, it also illustrates (Austrian) history by way of a community and a study
