Der Amerikanische Protestantismus und der Kulturkampf um die Evolutionslehre
No full textVortrag von Jan Stievermann, Professor für die Geschichte des Christentums in den USA an der Theologischen Fakultät und am Heidelberg Center for American Studies (HCA) der Ruperto Carola, zum Thema "Der Amerikanische Protestantismus und der Kulturkampf um die Evolutionslehre", gehalten am 27. Mai 2013 im Studium Generale der Universität Heidelberg.
In seinem Vortrag erläutert Jan Stievermann, warum und wie es dazu kam, dass sich rund 150 Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von Charles Darwins „On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection“ (1859) eine stark anti-darwinistische Strömung innerhalb des amerikanischen Protestantismus entwickelte und die in Darwins Werke formulierte Evolutionslehre zu einem der Reizthemen wurde, an dem sich die tiefgreifende Polarisierung der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft manifestiert. Insbesondere im Milieu des konservativen Evangelikalismus und Fundamentalismus, so Prof. Stievermann, lehnen heute nicht wenige Amerikaner den Darwinismus zugunsten eines strikten Kreationismus oder der sogenannten Intelligent-Design-Lehre ab. In seinem Vortrag beleuchtet Jan Stievermann die religions- und kulturgeschichtlichen Entwicklungen ebenso wie die verfassungsrechtlichen und politischen Gründe, die zu der gegenwärtigen Situation geführt haben
Spiritual Meaning and Experimental Piety in the Exegesis of Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards
No full textJan Stievermann and Ryan P. Hoselton consider the role of experiential piety in the exegesis of Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards. Both were deeply engaged in the new critical questions of their day, and both were also committed to nurturing religious piety—though they differed somewhat in how they handled these concerns. Although Mather was profoundly interested in the philological and historical issues in the Bible, he prioritized devotional and contemplative engagement with Scripture. Edwards, Stievermann and Hoselton argue, drew on the experimental language and philosophy of the Enlightenment to construct a case for the supernatural authority of the Bible against increasingly naturalistic arguments. Edwards held that one gains spiritual understanding as the Holy Spirit harmonizes the believer’s internal senses with the Word; this reconstruction affected Edwards’ approach to the emotive element in Scripture, the dynamism of typology, and the nature of the regenerate interpreter of the Bible.</p

No full textTod und Auferstehung in L. A. - Patrick Roth liest aus „Die amerikanische Fahrt“ und „Die Christus Trilogie“
No full textIn der Reihe "HCA trifft …" ist am 11. Juli 2017 der Autor Patrick Roth zu Gast am Heidelberg Center for American Studies. In der von Prof. Michaela Kopp-Marx (Germanistisches Seminar) und Prof. Jan Stievermann (HCA) moderierten Veranstaltung liest Patrick Roth aus "Die amerikanische Fahrt" und "Die Christus Trilogie".
Patrick Roth wurde 1953 in Freiburg im Breisgau geboren und lebt als freier Autor in Los Angeles und Mannheim. Berühmt ist er als Erzähler biblisch-mythischer Stoffe, die er in einer filmisch-präsentischen Weise neu dramatisiert, so in den Texten der Christus Trilogie (1998/2017) und im Roman Sunrise. Das Buch Joseph (2012). Die deutsch-amerikanischen Erzählzyklen Meine Reise zu Chaplin (1997/2013) Die Nacht der Zeitlosen (2001), Starlite Terrace (2004) und Die amerikanische Fahrt (2013) vergegenwärtigen Einzelschicksale im Schatten der Hollywood-Filmindustrie und Roths ungebrochene Liebe zum Kino. Zuletzt erschien die mit einem umfangreichen Kommentar versehene Neuausgabe der Christus Trilogie (2017), die traditionelle biblische Bilder mittels der Durchmischung mit popkulturellen und mythischen Elementen in einer rhythmisierten, bildgewaltigen Sprache neu für die Gegenwart erschließt. Für sein literarisches Schaffen wurde Roth vielfach geehrt (u.a. mit dem Hugo-Ball-Preis, dem Literaturpreis der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung und dem Mainzer Stadtschreiberpreis); in den Jahren 2004 und 2012 hatte er die Poetikdozentur an der Universität Heidelberg inne.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.
No full textAuthor Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan
Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles.
Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film
