Functions of autoreception: Karl Ove Knausgård as author-critic and rewriter
Full text linkKarl Ove Knausgård made his entry into the literary field as a critic in the 1990s, and he has
since 1998 made his mark as a novelist and essayist. The six-volume autobiographical work
Min kamp (2009-2011) is in essence about what it means for him to be an author. This thesis
investigates Knausgård’s strategies as a critic, essayist, and as the author of Min kamp to
position himself and his poetics within the literary field and a literary tradition. Specifically,
it examines the functions of autoreception, i.e. self-criticism, implicit in Knausgård’s role as
an author-critic, an author who writes literary criticism, and as a rewriter, an author who
rewrites his own texts and the context and poetic intentions of his previous texts. Thus, this
thesis aims to answer the question what are the functions of criticism and of rewriting for Karl Ove
Knausgård as an author?
Part I outlines a new framework of autoreception devised for examining the functions of
criticism and rewriting. The proposed common denominator is that both function to
establish, position, and validate an author-image. Ultimately, a new understanding of the
narration in Min kamp as autoreceptive is offered. Part II examines a largely unexplored area
of Knausgård’s work, namely the strategies of Knausgård as a critic prior to publishing his
first novel, and how Knausgård rewrites himself during this period in Min kamp. Part III
focuses on Knausgård’s rewriting of the period between writing his second novel and up
until he begins writing Min kamp. It investigates the strategic functions of the narrative
structure, the functions of the essayistic and critical passages, and the functions of the
distance and unity between past and present author-images that Knausgård creates in his
rewriting.
This thesis thus aims to contribute to the scholarship regarding Karl Ove Knausgård by
conducting an author-study that examines the relationship between criticism and poetics. In
addition, it aims to contribute to a broader field of research by offering a theoretical and
methodological framework of autoreception, which works across the boundaries of critical,
essayistic, and literary texts
Scattering operators for the spherical harmonics expansion of the Boltzmann transport equation
Full text linkDiese Arbeit behandelt die Beschreibung von Streuprozessen im Rahmen der Boltzmann Transport Gleichung, welche nach Kugelflächenfunktionen (sog. Spherical Harmonics) entwickelt wird. Dabei wird auf die Arbeit von Karl Rupp aufgebaut, insbesondere wird der von ihm entwickelte Simulator "ViennaSHE" verwendet. Der Fokus wird dabei auf einen der kompliziertesten Streumechansimen gelegt, die Elektronen-Elektronen Streuung, welche zum ersten Mal in dieser Form beschrieben wird.Zu Beginn werden die mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen der Halbleiterphysik ausgearbeitet. Dabei werden die grundlegenden Halbleiter-Gleichungen, namentlich die Schrödinger Gleichung, die Boltzmann Transport Gleichung und die zugehörigen Momentengleichungen beschrieben. Letztere sollen die Vorteile der Kugelflächenfunktionsentwicklung hervorstreichen. Anschließend folgt ein Abschnitt, in dem detailliert die Entwicklung der Boltzmann Transport Gleichung nach Kugelflächenfunktionen ausgeführt wird. Des Weiteren wird der Übergang von der quantenmechanischen zur semi-klassischen Beschreibung des Elektrons beschrieben. In der semi-klassichen Beschreibung werden die Elektronen als klassische Teilchen angesehen, die Streuprozesse hingegen quantenmechanisch berücksichtigt. Basierend auf der Goldenen Regel von Fermi wird eine allgemeine Beschreibung der Streutheorie dargestellt. Die theoretischen Konzepte werden schließlich angewendet, um systematisch Ausdrücke für die Streuung an ionisierten Störstellen, die Streuung an akustischen und optischen Phonen innerhalb eines Leitungsbandtales und die Elektron-Elektron Streuung zu entwickeln.Im letzten Teil der Arbeit werden die Implementierungen für die Streuung an ionisierten Störstellen, sowie für Elektron-Elektron Streuung besprochen. Dabei wird auf die für die Elektron-Elektron Streuung vorgenommenen Vereinfachungen detailliert eingegangen. Zusätzlich werden numerische Untersuchungen des Streuoperators durchgeführt. Abschließend werden ausgewählte Simulationsresultate für einen Metall-Oxid-Halbleiter-Feldeffekttransistor (MOSFET) präsentiert.This thesis deals with the description of scattering in the framework of the Spherical Harmonics Expansion (SHE) of the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). The focus is on one of the most complicated scattering mechanism, electron-electron scattering, which is described for the first time in this context. It is based on the pioneering work of Karl Rupp, who developed the Spherical Harmonics Boltzmann Solver "ViennaSHE". The mathematical and physical foundation, starting with the basic semiconductor equations, is presented in detail. Here, the advantages of the SHE approach are emphasized by comparison with the widely used balance equation methods (e.g. drift diffusion), which are also based on the BTE. The expansion of the BTE including the scattering operator is derived rigorously. In the following, the transition from the quantum mechanical description of the electron to the semi-classical description, where the motion of electrons is described classically and scattering is described quantum mechanically is discussed. Consequently, a general approach for describing scattering mechanisms is developed.This includes an elaboration of Fermi's Golden Rule, which is the foundation of the scattering theory.The theoretical concepts are applied to describe ionized impurity, acoustic and optical intra-valley phonon and electron-electron scattering. Afterwards, the implementation of ionized impurity and electron-electron scattering is described. For electron-electron scattering, a simplified model for the scattering operator is presented.This is necessary in order to reduce the complexity of the implementation. Finally, the applicability of the implementation is demonstrated by numerical simulation results for a metalâEUR"oxideâEUR"semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)

A New Book on Mao: A Quick Q & A with Author Rebecca Karl
Full text linkRebecca Karl, who teaches at New York University and is known in Chinese studies circles as the author of important studies of nationalism during the final years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and the development of Marxist thought between the 1920s and the present, has a new book coming out soon. Titled Mao Zedong and China in the Twentieth-Century World: A Concise History, it’s being published (simultaneously in paperback and hardback editions) by Duke University Press. The publisher promises that it will provide readers with a “lively and concise historical account of Mao Zedong’s life and thought,” and it comes with advance praise from Stanford literary specialist Ban Wang and historian Delia Davin, whose many publications also include a short book about the Chinese Communist Party leader. Struck by the challenges Professor Karl has taken on, both of moving from writing for specialists to writing for general readers (that’s clearly the main target audience to her new book) and trying to cover such a big topic in a small number of pages (the book has just over 200 of them), I asked her to share her thoughts on these challenges and other subjects with followers of this blog
Karl Polanyi’s the great transformation: Perverse effects, protectionism and gemeinschaft
No full textDrawing upon Karl Polanyi’s journalistic writings and unpublished lectures from the 1920s and 1930s, this article reconstructs the lineaments of his research programme that was to assume its finished form in The Great Transformation. It identifies and corrects a common misinterpretation of the thesis of that book, and argues that Polanyi’s basic theoretical framework is best conceived as Tönniesian: the ‘protective counter-movement’ of The Great Transformation is Gemeinschaft, understood dynamically, while the market society is Gesellschaft. It examines the two central mechanisms by which, in Polanyi’s understanding, Gesellschaft broke down in the mid-twentieth century: the ‘clash between democracy and capitalism,’ and a doctrine of ‘perverse effects’ whereby political intervention in markets impairs profitability and saps the vitality of the market system

Karl Marx als Klassiker: Freiheitsphilosoph, Systemdenker, ökonomischer Autodidakt, politischer Demagoge
No full textDieser Kurzaufsatz versucht, Karl Marx als Klassiker ernst zu nehmen. Wir vertreten folgende Thesen: (1) Marx war ein Kämpfer für individuelle Freiheit. (2) Marx war ein Pionier des Systemdenkens. (3) Marx war ein ökonomischer Autodidakt. Als solchem ist ihm ein kapitaler Fehler unterlaufen. (4) Marx war ein sprachlich begnadeter Demagoge. Das macht seine Ideologie auch heute noch gefährlich.This short article takes Karl Marx serious as a classic author. We hold the following propositions: (1) Marx was fighting for individual freedom. (2) Marx was a pioneer of systemic thinking. (3) Marx was a self-thought economist. This is why his economic analysis contains a capital error. (4) Marx was a powerfully eloquent demagogue. This is why his ideology is still dangerous today
