No full textThe presentation of authorship in the works of Uwe Timm
No full textDie vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Frage der Inszenierung der Autorschaft am Beispiel von Uwe Timm. Dieser Problematik geht sie nach, indem sie vier unterschiedliche „begleitende“ Genres untersucht: Zeitschriften und Zeitungen, Reiseberichte, Autobiographien und Poetikvorlesungen, welche unter dem Begriff „Medien der Autorschaft“ nach Urs Meyer zu verstehen sind. Das Erkenntnisinteresse dieser Arbeit richtet sich auf die medialen Erscheinungsformen einerseits und auf die Darstellungsweise der Autorschaft andererseits. Auf dieser Grundlage werden multiple Autorbilder von Uwe Timm vor dem Hintergrund des Konzepts des literarischen Felds und des Habitus von Pierre Bourdieu herausgearbeitet: der politisch engagierte Autor, der Autor als Ethnologe, der Autor als Erinnerungsarbeiter des kollektiven Gedächtnisses sowie der Autor als Geschichtenerzähler.This dissertation addresses the question of how authorship is presented in the works of Uwe Timm. To explore this issue, four different “accompanying” genres have been considered: journals and newspapers, travel writings, autobiographies and poetic lectures, all of which are to be understood as “Media of Authorship” according to Urs Meyer. The discussion revolves around two aspects, the forms of media on the one hand, and the representational techniques on the other. Through Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of literary field and habitus, Uwe Timm’s multiple author images have been highlighted: the politically engaged author, the author as an ethnologist, the author as a memory worker of the collective memory and the author as a storyteller

Motive of food and its significance for the work of Uwe Timm
No full textThis thesis deals with the subject of food and its aspects in the work of Uwe Timm. The first part depicts different areas from everyday life which are in some way linked to food. German-speaking writers are mentioned for comparison since they address the subject of food in their literary works in some way as well. In the next section the biography of the author is presented, since he incorporates his autobiographical features and experiences in his work. Based on motive research, selected literary works by Uwe Timm are examined and different nuances of the aspect of food are presented.

Demography of botfly (Cuterebra fontinella) parasitism in white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) in Kansas
No full textBotflies (Diptera: Cuterebra sp.) are widely distributed and seasonally abundant parasites of small mammals in North America. To assess their effect on rodent survival, we studied the demography of botfly parasitism on small mammals in northeastern Kansas during 1995–1999. Additional comparisons on botflies parasitizing small mammals were made to a nearby old-field grid where mark–recapture studies continued from 1975 to 2003. White-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus, were infected by botfly larvae (Cuterebra fontinella) each year during our study. The period of infection for P. leucopus was June–December, with the highest proportion of mice infected in July and August. A smaller, second peak of infection in October and November indicated that C. fontinella reproduced bimodally at this latitude with distinct summer and autumn population peaks. During the botfly seasons of the 5 years, 140 (23.3%) of 602 P. leucopus captured were infected. The percentages of individuals infected during 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1999 were not significantly different (22.4, 17.3, 17.1, and 22.7%, respectively). However, in 1998, 32.4% individuals were infected with a higher incidence of multiple infections and a greater number of botfly larvae per host. Nearly half (47%) of the infected individuals caught in 1998 had infections in both summer and autumn, compared with 25% during the 1995–1997 seasons. In 1999, 63% of infected mice had at least a 2nd infection during the autumn. For all 5 years, 82%, 14%, and 4% of the infected mice had 1, 2, or 3 botflies, respectively. In 1998, 24% of the infected mice carried 2 or more botflies at one time, compared to 14% from 1995–1997 and 11% in 1999. Overall 94% percent of the infected mice were adults, with no differences between sexes. The variation seen in the prevalence of botfly parasitism of white-footed mice correlates to yearly weather fluctuations. Other demographic aspects of the infected mice, such as sex ratio, age, and longevity of those infected did not change year to year. Our data suggest that infection with Cuterebra has little negative or positive impact upon populations of white-footed mice.
Tábanos (Diptera; Cuterebra) son un grupo de moscas parásitas con variable abundancia estacional en Norte América. Para determinar su efecto en la supervivencia de roedores, estudiamos la demografía del parasitismo por tábanos en mamíferos pequeños en el noreste de Kansas desde 1995 hastas 1999. Comparaciones adicionales del parasitismo de larvas de tábanos fueron realizadas usando una retícula de trampas en una zona aledaña, donde estudios de marca-recaptura fueron realizados desde 1975 hasta 2003. El ratón de patas blancas (Peromyscus leucopus), fue parasitado por larvas de tábanos (Cuterebra fontinella) todos los años de nuestro estudio. El período de infección para P. leucopus es entre Junio y Diciembre, con una mayor proporción de ratones infectados entre Julio y Agosto. Un segundo pico menor de infección sucede entre Octubre y Noviembre, indicando que C. fontinella es bimodal en la latitud de nuestro estudio, con picos poblacionales diferenciables en el verano y el otoño. Para los tábanos registradas por 5 años, 140 (23.3%) de 602 P. leucopus capturados presentaron infecciones. El porcentaje de individuos infectados en los años 1995, 1996, 1997, y 1999 no fueron diferentes (22.4%, 17.3%, 17.1%, y 22.7%, respectivamente). Sin embargo, en 1998, un total de 32.4% individuos fueron infectados, con una alta incidencia de infecciones múltiples, y un número mayor de larvas de tábano por hospedero. Casi la mitad (47%) de los individuos infectados capturados en 1998 tuvieron infecciones tanto en el verano como en el otoño, comparado con 25% durante 1995–1997. En 1999, 63% de los ratones infectados tuvieron al menos una segunda infección durante la misma estación. Para todos los 5 años, 82%, 14%, y 4% de los ratones infectados tuvieron 1, 2, o 3 larvas respectivamente. En 1998, 24% de los ratones infectados transportaron dos o más larvas al mismo tiempo, comparado con 14% durante 1995–1997 y 11% en 1999. En general, 94% de los ratones infectados fueron adultos, y no observamos diferencias en infección entre sexos. La variación observada en la prevalencia de parasitismo está correlacionada con fluctuaciones climáticas anuales. Otros aspectos de la demografía de parasitismo en ratones, por ejemplo, proporción de sexos, edad, longevidad de individuos infectados, no cambiaron entre años. Nuestros datos sugieren que infección por Cuterebra tiene pequeño impacto negativo o positivo en la población de ratones de patas blancas
Notiosorex villai Carraway & Timm 2000
No full text151. Villa’s Gray Shrew Notiosorex villai French: Musaraigne de Villa / German: Villa-Wiistenspitzmaus / Spanish: Musarana gris de Villa Other common names: Villa's Shrew Taxonomy. Notiosorex villai Carraway & Timm, 2000, “ Jaumave, Tamaulipas, Mexico, 2400 ft. [= 732 m].” Notiosorex villai was previously included in N. crawfordi but was described as a distinct species based primarily on morphometrics. Distributional limits of all species of Notiosorex are still somewhat unknown; additional sampling is needed. Monotypic. Distribution. Known only from three localities in SW Tamaulipas (NE Mexico); it potentially occurs in a wider distribution, but additional studies are needed. Descriptive notes. Head-body 59-62 mm, tail 28-31 mm, ear 7-9 mm, hindfoot 11-11-5 mm; weight 5-6-3 g. Villa’s Gray Shrew is small and externally very similar to other species of Notiosorex. Dorsum is light grayish brown, and venteris white or pale gray. Feet are broad, with relatively short claws. Tail is ¢.33% of head-body length, unicolored dark grayish brown, and covered with very short hairs. Ears are long and conspicuous, being the same color as dorsal pelage externally and pinkish internally; eyes are small but large compared with other shrews; and snout is pink with dark line on ridge extending to tip of rostrum. Females have three inguinal mammae. There is no prominent ridge on lateral side of cranium as in other species of Notiosorex; paroccipital processes lie against exoccipitals; coronoid processes are slender relative to their height (as in the Desert Gray Shrew, N. crawfordi); and zygomatic plate is narrower than in the Large-eared Gray Shrew (NN. evotis) and the Desert Gray Shrew. There are three unicuspids, and teeth are entirely white with no pigmentation, as in all species of Notiosorex. Habitat. Pine-oak forests, tropical forests, and riparian forests at elevations of 580-1340 m. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. Two lactating Villa’s Gray Shrews were captured in July 1953. Activity patterns. No information. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. Villa's Gray Shrew is known from only three localities in two isolated mountain valleys and from relatively few specimens. It is most threatened by overgrazing and agricultural expansion; it might be found in El Cielo Biosphere Reserve in Tamaulipas, but this is uncertain. Bibliography. Alvarez (1963), Baker et al.

Nachgetragene Erinnerung: Uwe Timm, „Am Beispiel meines Bruders“ (2003) und Robert Schiff, „Feldpostbriefe. Chronik eines ungebauten Hauses“ (1994)
No full textUwe Timm and Robert Schiff have both written an autobiographical text dealing with the premature death of an elder brother who was a combattant in the Waffen-SS in their childhood. Despite the frappantly similar biographical constellation, there are differences in narrative technique and thematical focus that stem from their respective sociocultural context. The analysis shows that Timm is in many ways a representative author of the German ‘68 generation that critically reevaluates the attitude of their parents during the national socialist period and points to omissions and falsifications in the oral family history, while the narration of Schiff, an emigrated author born in the pre-war milieu of the German minority of Southwest Romania, is mainly a reconstruction of the impact of big history on his childhood and thus also the effort to conserve the memory of a world that has passed away and to reconcile himself with the experience of loss
Von Andreas Gryphius zu Uwe Timm: deutsche Parallelwege in der Aufnahme von Italiens Kunst, Poesie und Politik
No full textDeutsche Parallelwege in der Aufnahme von italiens Kunst, Poesie und Politik beabsichtigen das Italien-Bild aufgrund von jeweils zwei Texten deutscher Autoren, vornehmlich des späten 18. und des 19. Jahrhunderts zu untersuchen. Es wird z. B. die Bewertung der kunst der italienischen Renaissance bei Goethe und Wackenroeder thematisiert oder der deutsche Blick auf italienische Politik von zwei grundverschiedenen Autoren wie Karl Grün und Heinrich Hansjakob sowie als Nachklang bei Uwe Timm im späten 20. Jahrhundert behandelt. Ziel der Textanalyse ist weniger ein wertender Vergleich der beiden ausgewählten Autoren als vielmehr die Differenzen und Ahnlichkeiten sowohl in der literarischen Darbietung als auch im Blick auf Italien bei einem gleichen Thema klarer zum Vorschein kommen zu lassen. L’autore descrive l’immagine dell’Italia (arte, poesia, antropologia e politica) così come essa è rappresentata nella letteratura tedesca da Andreas Gryphius (1644) fino a Uwe Timm (1989). Attraverso l’analisi di testi di Andreas Gryphius, Johann Caspar, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder, Joseph von Eichendorff, Johann Wilhelm von Archenholtz, Gustav Nicolai, Viktor Hehn, Paul Heyse, Ludwig Tiek, August Wilhelm Schlegel, Friedrich Schiller, Karl Grün, Heinrich Hansjakob, Theodor Fontane, Norbert C. Kaser e Uwe Timm vengono affrontate di riflesso le opere di Andrea Palladio, Carlo Cattaneo, Giuseppe Mazzini e Francesco De Sanctis in relazione sia al mito romantico del Rinascimento italiano sia a quello del Romanticismo tedesco nel Risorgimento italiano. Tematizzato viene poi il mito di Garibaldi versus Pio IX, e quello del comunismo nell’Italia meridionale del secondo Ottocento in relazione alla figura Antonio Gramsci nel 1933; quindi l’Italia come utopia romantica nel primo Ottocento e il paesaggio italiano come paradiso terrestre alla metà dello stesso secolo; infine, l’immagine di Roma moderna come città eterna
