    Author – Narrator – Defendant: A legal Approach to Werner Kofler\u27s Voice

    No full text
    Gernot Waldner nähert sich dem Phänomen Stimme am Beispiel des Autors Werner Koflers aus juristischer Perspektive. Der Beitrag analysiert detailliert die rhetorischen Strategien in den Akten jenes Prozesses, den der Journalist Michael Jeannée 1991 anlässlich einer Passage in Koflers Der Hirt auf dem Felsen wegen üblicher Nachrede anstrengte. Waldner zeigt nicht nur Widersprüche der Argumentationen auf, sondern leitet daraus Auswirkungen auf Koflers Poetik ab. Koflers Prosa Üble Nachrede – Furcht und Unruhe erscheint in dieser Lesart als Verarbeitung des Prozesses und als formale Reaktion auf konkrete juristische Vorgehensweisen, wie etwa die Identifikation einer Erzählstimme mit dem Autor. Author – Narrator – Defendant: A legal Approach to Werner Kofler\u27s Voice: Gernot Waldner approaches the phenomenon of voice from a legal perspective using the example of Werner Kofler. The contribution provides a detailed analysis of the rhetorical strategies in the files of the court case following journalist Michael Jeannée filing for defamation because of a passage in Kofler\u27s Der Hirt auf dem Felsen. He not only shows contradictions in the arguments but deduces effects on Kofler\u27s poetics. From this perspective, Kofler\u27s prose piece Üble Nachrede – Furcht und Unruhe emerges as a working through of the court case and as a formal reaction to concrete legal procedures, for instance identifying narrative voice with the author.Gernot Waldner approaches the phenomenon of voice from a legal perspective using the example of Werner Kofler.

    Consciousness from a classical physical-science perspective based on a new paradigm

    No full text
    This is Essay 5 of the Collection of 'Essays on Cognitive Physical Science' in the repository UPSpace of the University of Pretoria.Quantum physics has a long history of interest in consciousness, stemming from the conviction, seeded by famous names, that consciousness is "fundamental to nature" and is, thus, somehow contributory also to quantum events. One of the more recent ideas (by Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose) is that the brain is a quantum computer and that a particular component of neurons acts as a quantum object responsible for the emergence of consciousness. In the 2017 New Scientist monograph Your Conscious Mind the present scientific vision is summarised as "We still don't know whether it [consciousness] is real or an illusion". And it is speculated "that physicists will [one day perhaps] identify consciousness as a distinct kind of matter". This odd suggestion calls for physicists to bring systematic classical thinking back to the subject of consciousness. In the past, such thinking, based on the well-tested Ansatz approach, has failed miserably for consciousness, because of a self-reassuring mainstream orthodox paradigm about the function of consciousness, viz. that consciousness, assisted by the "unconscious" state, is in charge of Man's reasoning and behaviour. The new approach pursued here is the opposite thereof, viz. it is based on the new unorthodox paradigm that the nonconscious (not unconscious) state of mind is in charge of human reasoning and behaviour, and that what a person's mind becomes conscious of has previously been entirely worked out and put into action in the nonconscious state. On this basis, the author has derived a purely classical self-compatible description of the nature and function of consciousness. The key proposition is that general consciousness derives from self-consciousness, which in turn is posited to be a mental sensation of organism-wide wake state feedback from local cellular metabolism. The details have been written up here in a first short form. In a postscript it is also shown how the age-old problem of 'free will' is solved in terms of the new vision of consciousness.hj201

    Erfahrung bei der Einführung einer SOA für den Senat für Bildung, Jugend und Sport des Landes Berlin

    Im Rahmen des Projektes „Integrierte Software Berliner Jugendhilfe“ wurde eine diensteorientierte und komponentenbasierte Architektur für die Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Sport von Berlin realisiert. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Einführung und Realisierung moderner Architekturkonzepte keine hinreichende Bedingung für den Erfolg eines Projektes sind. Gerade in Projekten, in denen mehrere unabhängige Hersteller Realisierungsarbeiten durchführen, ist die Sicherung der konzeptionellen Integrität sowohl im Entwurf als auch später im Betrieb relevant

    Software-Projekte werden von Menschen mit Menschen für Menschen durchgeführt. Die Gestaltung der direkten und indirekten Zusammenarbeit aller Beteiligten ist damit einer der wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktoren. In diesem Tutorial werden Kommunikationsmodelle und -techniken vorgestellt und in Kleingruppen geübt. Diese Modelle und Techniken unterstützen Sie in der Kommunikation sowohl innerhalb des Entwicklungsteams als auch in der Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Abteilungen. Inhaltlich werden Kommunikations- und Frage-Grundtechniken behandelt, eine einfache und in der IT sehr praxistaugliche Typologie für eine empfängergerechte Kommunikation vorgestellt und Feedback als Lösung für zwischenmenschliche Probleme dargestellt
