Die ‚noethische‘ Funktion von Wissenschaftssprache und -mustern bei Ulrike Draesner
No full textUlrike Draesner, in her multifaceted activity as a scholar, translator, essayist, but above all author of poetry
and prose, develops a discourse on the body, landscapes and memory that is always polyphonic and cross-
linguistic. Memory travels through unexpected connections between areas of knowledge and experience,
capable of linking organic and inorganic nature, ancient world memory, individual and collective historical
memory and post-memory, theory of knowledge and ethics of living together among people, between
humans and things, between human kind and nature.
In my contribution I will be trying, through case-studies, to highlight the poetic, ethical, creative, therefore
po(i)ethical role played by scientific languages and lexika in Ulrike Draesner's writing.
As a “poeta docta”, Draesner is an artist and not as a scientist or philosopher. The aggregations of sense and
memory do not only travel on the logic of images and themes, but also on the surprising intersections
between sense and sound, as well as between different languages
TRAUM: Transforming Author Museums, 2019
No full textWhat roles have author museums as creators of cultural identity? What kind of representations do they use to communicate knowledge about literature and its authors? How are real and literary spaces, texts and objects interlinked? Author museums are in the public imagination often associated with an old-fashioned cult of the author, they are being transformed into interactive spaces in line with changing understandings of literature, developments in exhibition practices and larger processes of democratization. This interdisciplinary project aimed to provide analyses of museums as cultural texts and performative spaces of memory and production. In the past years, the alleged crisis of the humanities has been a recurring topic of debate. While criticism has been levelled at the humanities for lack of relevance, informal polls made in various countries across Europe asking for the most important personality in national history have consistently placed artists on the top, often writers, and in the case of Norway, Henrik Ibsen. There is a paradoxical relationship between the discourse of the uselessness of humanities and the actual interest in and identification with some of its actors. The project aimed to investigate how and why (certain) writers and literature have been turned into cultural heritage, helped by the display of auratic places such as their homes in combination with the aestheticization of personal "relics" within specific cultural-political contexts. Combining humanities, social sciences and artistic perspectives, it will critically reflect on existing and historical exhibition strategies and consider alternative and innovative ways of displaying literature, focusing on the potentials of author museums and other literary museums and centres as sites of cultural production and literary creativity. On a meta-level the project aimed to contribute to a better understanding of how to communicate the relevance of humanities to the public. The project is part of the NFR project “TRAUM-Transforming Author Museums (251225)”. The focus of the sub-project is on exhibitions in author homes. The analysis includes the role of archival material in exhibitions (published article by Ulrike Spring), communication processes in literary museums and the author's role as ghost in author homes (articles in preparation by Ulrike Spring and Johan Schimanski).

Nanoscale flexible organic thin-film transistors
No full textDirect-write electron-beam lithography has been used to fabricate low-voltage p-channel and n-channel organic thin-film transistors with channel lengths as small as 200 nm and gate-to-contact overlaps as small as 100 nm on glass and on flexible transparent polymeric substrates. The p-channel transistors have on/off current ratios as large as 4 × 10 9 and subthreshold swings as small as 70 mV/decade, and the n-channel transistors have on/off ratios up to 10 8 and subthreshold swings as low as 80 mV/decade. These are the largest on/off current ratios reported to date for nanoscale organic transistors. Inverters based on two p-channel transistors with a channel length of 200 nm and gate-to-contact overlaps of 100 nm display characteristic switching-delay time constants between 80 and 40 ns at supply voltages between 1 and 2 V, corresponding to a supply voltage–normalized frequency of about 6 MHz/V. This is the highest voltage-normalized dynamic performance reported to date for organic transistors fabricated by maskless lithography.Organic transistors with nanoscale channel lengths and gate overlaps and good static and dynamic performance are reported.Direct-write electron-beam lithography has been used to fabricate low-voltage p-channel and n-channel organic thin-film transistors with channel lengths as small as 200 nm and gate-to-contact overlaps as small as 100 nm on glass and on flexible transparent polymeric substrates.

Images and stories from the borderlands
No full textMy paper introduces geo-political and symbolic dynamics of 21st century Europe through three conceptual prisms: those of borders or border communities, networks, and neighbourhoods. Each of these can be seen as both descriptive lenses for capturing specific phenomenon of social interaction in geographical spaces as well as metaphors for imagining human encounters across visible or invisible divisions, such as for example nationhood, ethnicity, race, religion or gender. In the first part, my paper analyses the implications for each of these imaginaries for theoretical and empirical research. In the second part I will show with different examples how these conceptual frames affected my own fieldwork practices in a series of European research projects during the last decade: European Border Discourse, 2000-2003; Changing City Spaces 2002-2005, Sefone 2007-2010 and TNMundi 2006-2010. Examples will include a rich, multi-layered spectrum of every-day life narratives as well as examples of artistic productions.

A intertextualidade e a dramatização da história em Ulrike Maria Stuart, de Elfride Jelinek
No full textEste trabalho propõe-se a analisar a peça Ulrike Maria Stuart, da escritora austríaca Elfriede Jelinek, e discutir como se dão as relações intertextuais apresentadas por esta, bem como o processo de dramatização de relevantes processos históricos no contexto da Europa Ocidental, mais especificamente na Alemanha contemporânea. A peça, realizada segundo os parâmetros do teatro pós-dramático, apresenta a disputa entre Ulrike Meinhof, ex-jornalista de esquerda, e Gudrun Ensslin, estudante de literatura, pela liderança da Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF), em português, Fração do Exército Vermelho, grupo de luta armada de extrema esquerda fundado na Alemanha Ocidental, em 1970. Este conflito central é construído com base no mote da clássica peça de Friedrich Schiller, Maria Stuart. Assim, Jelinek entrelaça estas referências, literárias e históricas, a partir da comparação entre o imaginário construído pela mídia alemã a respeito das líderes da RAF e as personagens da peça de Schiller, utilizando-se de recursos cênicos e mediais durante a montagem da peça. Outro aspecto discutido neste trabalho é a questão das relações de poder e da violência feminina, através da explanação do universo ficcional de Jelinek, e então como Ulrike Maria Stuart insere-se neste, e a construção da imagem das líderes da RAF pela mídia para melhor compreensão das referências intertextuais apresentadas ao longo do espetáculo.This study aims to examine the play Ulrike Maria Stuart, written by Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, and discuss how the intertextual relations presented by this are given, as well as the dramatization of some historical processes, relevant in the context of Western Europe, specifically in contemporary Germany. The play, performed according to the paramethers of post-dramatic theater, presents the contest between Ulrike Meinhof, a former leftist journalist, and Gudrun Ensslin, a Literature student, for the leadership of the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF) – the Red Army Faction – an urban guerilla group founded in West Germany in 1970. This central conflict, in Jelinek‟s play, is built on the motto of Friedrich Schiller‟s Mary Stuart. Thus, Jelinek interweaves these literary and historical references from the comparison between the imaginary built by German media about the leaders of the RAF and the characters in Maria Stuart, using scenic and medial resources during the assembly of the part. Another aspect discussed in this work is the question of power relations and female violence, through the investigation of Jelinek‟s ficcional universe, and then as Ulrike Maria Stuart fits into this, and the building of the image of RAF leaders by the media as a way of better understand the intertextual references presented throughout the play
TRAUM - Transforming Author Museums, 2017
No full textPictures of two author museums in South Africa. The project involves an analysis of two South African historic homes that have been turned into museums for authors. The two South African museums are the Sol Plaatje museum in Kimberley and the Olive Schreiner House in Cradock. The main aim of the project is to examine current practices of author museums from contemporary and historical perspectives, with the aim of developing new interpretations of author museums as spaces of knowledge transfer and cultural production. The project aims to investigate how and why (certain) writers and literature have been turned into cultural heritage, helped by the display of auratic places such as their homes in combination with the aestheticization of personal 'relics' within specific cultural-political contexts
Fabrikation von Erkenntnis: Experimente in den Digital Humanities
No full text"Die vDHd2021-Tagung, die als Ersatz für die coronabedingte Verschiebung der DHd-Jahrestagung 2021 stattfand, stand unter dem Motto "Experimente" und wurde von einem Publikationsexperiment begleitet, das von der Community initiiert wurde. Das Herausgeber*innengremium bildete sich in der Folge im Rahmen der vDHd-Planungen. Unter dem Titel "Fabrikation von Erkenntnis: Experimente in den Digital Humanities" wurde schließlich eine digitale Publikation herausgegeben, die das experimentelle Potenzial der Digital Humanities in unterschiedlichen Beitragstypen ergründet. Zwar ist der Band losgelöst von den Beiträgen der vDHd2021, dennoch greift er den Anspruch der DHd-Jahrestagungen auf, zur Sichtbarkeit aktueller DH-Aktivitäten im deutschsprachigen Raum beizutragen, wobei er selbst einen experimentellen Ansatz als "living publication" verfolgt. Das Poster thematisiert die experimentellen Aspekte der Publikation und die damit verbundenen Erfahrungen." Ein Beitrag zur 9. Tagung des Verbands "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum" - DHd 2023 Open Humanities Open Culture
Isomerenaufgelöste Photoelektronen-Spektroskopie und Photodissoziations-Spektroskopie an Metalloporphyrin-Ionen
No full textDetermining the structure of molecules is key for a vast field of applications. Gas phase ion mobility spectroscopy combined with geometry optimization (DFT, semi-empirical) is very suitable to determine unknown structures. Here monomers, dimers and trimers of metallo porphyrins (MTTPS) are additionally probed with photo electron and photo dissociation spectroscopy to understand their electronic properties. These methods in combination with ion mobility even enable isomer resolved spectroscopy
Le travail au Togo sous mandat de la France (1919-1941)
No full textIn this article the author analyzes the institutionalisation of remunerated labour in Togo under French mandat (1919 to 1941). After a description of the difficulties the French encountered to introduce this notion, the author gives details about tax labour, the material conditions of labour, the quantitative importance of the indigenous personnel and the salaries given during these years. This meticulous analysis of labour conditions contributes to retrace the process of introducing remunerated labour in Togo and its gradual acceptance by the social and cultural Systems of indigenous populations.In this article the author analyzes the institutionalisation of remunerated labour in Togo under French mandat (1919 to 1941).
