In present time geoinformation systems are used to solve various problems in various spheres of economy. The difference of GIS from other information systems is that all GIS modeled objects have spatial link, that allows to analyze them in connection with other spatially determined objects. Besides, GIS cardinally differs from most other information systems with that all the information in them is visually presented as electronic maps, allowing users to acquire new knowledge. [3,4] The article presents recommendations on possibilities to create “mobile application” or model to design agricultural crop irrigation at field level with the use of GIS. [1,5] In order to realize the solution for this task they offer the use of existing data from previously conducted research in the republic. There is a certain experience in the republic in creating spatial and climatic database for operation of various scenario models in water management and development of irrigation maps for agricultural crops and irrigation rates with respect to time for chosen rates of irrigation. [1,5] GIS application is the new means in management of data distributed in time and space, and for development of imitation systems on the basis of obtained data. GIS supports various user applications, it is very flexible in searching, analyzing and using water resources.
Sujeira, Xenitéia e Parresía em Roland Barthes.
Authors: Ribeiro Sarug Dagir , Belo Fábio Roberto Rodrigues
Published: May 2020

Analisaremos a aula do dia 27 de abril de 1977 de R. Barthes, em que o autor, tomando a literatura sadiana, faz uma reflexão sobre a sujeira, sobretudo, como nós nos relacionamos com ela no viver junto. Nossa hipótese é que o sentido da sujeira tomado pelo autor constitui uma importante matéria sociopolítica, a ser trabalhada num modo de vida, para além das normalizações e classificações psicopatológicas das parafilias. Nosso método de trabalho será a análise sistemática do respectivo texto, fazendo-o trabalhar, indo nas suas entrelinhas, e, então, retomaremos pressupostos psicanalíticos e filosóficos que nos permitam fundamentar nossa hipótese. Nossos resultados prevêem que a proposição barthesiana sobre a relação entre sujeira, Xenitéia e Parresía é notoriamente focada em rupturas e subversões que se operam em relação a padrões de comportamentos sexuais, linguagens e estilos literários. Afiançamos também que o pensamento foucaultiano continua o projeto barthesiano em favor do uso das sexualidades dissidentes para a criação de novas formas de existência além do discurso normativo da sexualidade.
Corpo Abjeto e Identidade Desviante em "Pequeno Monstro", de Caio Fernando Abreu
Authors: Coimbra Rosicley Andrade
Published: May 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar dois aspectos relevantes para a compreensão do conto “Pequeno monstro”, de Caio Fernando Abreu, quais sejam: corpo abjeto e identidade desviante. A proposta é tomar a categoria de abjeto como um excesso do qual o indivíduo precisa se livrar para se constituir como sujeito e a partir dela destacar como o narrador-protagonista do conto articula e busca resolver a tensão que gravita em seu interior, lutando para se constituir como sujeito. Nesse processo, a presença do “outro”, representada na figura do primo, desempenhará um papel determinante na expulsão da parte abjeta de dentro do personagem, resolvendo com isso seus conflitos internos e ajudando na definição de sua identidade.

Photovoices of Urban Educational Leadership Students Abroad in Peru
Authors: Ingle W. Kyle , Johnson Detra
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the perceptions and experiences of educational leadership graduate students who participated in a short term study abroad program in Peru. We analyzed assignments submitted for course credit, including a total of 144 photos and 107 corresponding reflections submitted as part of the photovoice assignment. Analysis revealed that the study abroad was a transformative experience . Students drew upon their own professional experiences to make sense of their educational experiences overseas . Their experience in Peru gave them a window into the wor ld of so many students in their U S schools what it is like to be a racial and language minority enriching and informing their perspectives as educators and future educational leaders. Instructors in study abroad courses may seek a balance between th e analytical const raints of applied heuristics with the freedom that photovoice promises.
An Analysis of the Connections Between Involvement in Study Abroad, Other High-Impact Practices, and Co-Curricular Activities
Authors: Di Maggio Lily M.
Published: May 2020

In the present study, the linkages between study abroad particip ation, participation in other high impact educational practices, and participation in co curricular activities were examined. It was the purpose of the study to determine if study abroad participants also chose to participate in multiple other high impa ct educational practices and co curricular activities at significantly higher rates than their peers who did not study abroad. The present study demonstrated that many students who study abroad tend toward multiple participation (e.g. participation in mul tiple voluntary activities) when controlling for race/ethnicity, gender, and academic major. While multiple participation was established among many study abroad subgroups, the current study was not able to substantiate multiple participation among all st udent subgroups.
Global Citizenship through Global Health
Authors: Stoner Lee , Tarrant Michael A. , Perry Lane , Gleason Mikell , Wadsworth Daniel , Page Rachel
Published: May 2020

A collaborative study abroad program (between one New Zealand and one U.S. university) on the theme of global health has been offered three times in Australia with 59 students registered to date. The course was developed because it is believed that higher education can play a role in improving global health through the fostering of global citizenship A global citizen is one who is aware of global issues, socially responsible, and civica lly engaged. From this perspective, personal health is not solely an individual , self serving act; rather, the consequences of an individual’s lifestyle behaviors have deep and wide consequences extending to the community, national, and global contexts. Our paper provides a narrative on the framework used to develop the aforementioned global health study abroad course, including 1 ) an initial discussion on the intricate relationship between global citizenship and global health; 2 ) previous evidence demonstrating that short term study abroad has the potential to foster global citizenship; and 3 ) the specific process used to develop the current short term, faculty led, interdisciplinary, experiential study abroad course.

S pecifically, the intersection of topics including systems, reliability, process flow, maintenance management, and public health are covered through online lectures, in class activities and case study discussions, field experiences, and assessments. Here in, administrat ive issues such as student recruitment, selection, and preparation are elucidated. Additionally, the pedagogical approach used to ensure constructive alignment among the program goals, the intended learning outcomes, and the teaching and learning activitie s is described. Finally, examples of learning outcomes resulting from this alignment are provided.
Learning to Teach in the Field: Five Professors Tell How Running an Overseas Study Tour Improved Their Classroom Teaching
Authors: Ellinghaus Katherine , Spinks Jennifer , Moore Glenn , Hetherington Paul , Atherton Cassandra
Published: May 2020

This article examines the positive impact of overseas study tours on the teaching philosophies and classroom strategies used by the professors running the tours. While education scholars have identified long term benefits of overseas study tours for students, less attention has been paid to flow on benefits for teachers. This article aims to address this gap in the literature by having five Australian professors describe how their international study tour experiences changed and improved their teaching in the classroom. The article shows that in the process of developing a successful overseas study tour, professors can learn lessons about teaching that they can use productively in the classroom.

Examining Relationships between Education Abroad Program Design and College Students' Global Learning
Authors: Hudson Tara D. , Tomás Morgan Rachel
Published: May 2020

Education abroad is a high impact practice that can lead to transformational learning because it challenges students emotionally and intellectually. However, differences in program design may have differential impacts on students’ learning. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships between desi gn features of education abroad programs specifically, program duration and the extent of students’ engagement in learning and with local communities while abroad and participants’ pre test to post test growth in global learning, measured via the nationall y validated Global Perspective Inventory survey. Using structural equation models, we found program duration and frequency of engagement in certain learning and engagement abroad to have positive effects on participants’ growth, although the relationships varied depending on the dimension of global perspective being measured. Nonetheless, our results provide further support for the need tointentionally design education abroad programs that facilitate deep learning and community interaction in order to ensure student learning.
Gender x Culture: A pilot project exploring the study abroad experiences of trans and gender expansive students
Authors: Michl Taylor , Pegg Kelsey , Kracen Amanda
Published: May 2020

As gender is socially constructed, gender a ttitudes, expressions, expectations and identities may differ based on their sociocultural contexts. This project sought to understand interactions between gender and culture through the experiences of three undergraduate study abroad students who are tra ns and/or gender expansive. Utilizing the thematic analysis method, data from a focus group and individual follow up interviews were analyzed ; seven themes emerged from the data collected. As study abroad has become an increasingly normalized aspect of the American undergraduate experience, institutions must consider the ways study abroad may uniquely affect certain student populations. This project explored some of the unique joys (community building, self exploration, cultural insights) and hardships (ge nder policing, isolation, sexual violence) of study abroad for trans and gender expansive students, identified areas for further research and suggested specific methods through which institutions can provide support to these students.
There and Back Again...Safely: Examining Students' Reports of Substance Use and Sexual Assault Prevention Program Receipt Prior to Departure Abroad
Authors: Smucker Sierra , Pedersen Eric R. , LaBrie Joseph W. , D'Amico Elizabeth J. , Farris Coreen , Klein David J. , Griffin Beth Ann
Published: May 2020

Many universities have pre departure programs that aim to prevent alcohol misuse and sexual assault among college students abroad, yet little is known about students’ uptake of this preventative information. In this study, 2,245 study abroad students from 63 different institutions were asked about receiving pre departure alcohol/drug and sexual assa ult prevention information. Only 38% of students reported receiving pre departure information specific to alcohol/drug misuse abroad and only 22% reported receiving sexual assault prevention information prior to departure. Notably, students who were heavie r drinkers prior to departure and those who intended to drink the most while abroad reported lower rates of information receipt. Overall, these findings suggest that either students are not receiving the preventative information that universities intend them to receive or the programming is not impactful enough to be recalled. Thus, there may be missed opportunities to better prepare students for risks specific to study abroad programs.
Assets-Based Learning Abroad: First-Generation Latinx College Students Leveraging and Increasing Community Cultural Wealth in Costa Rica
Authors: Wick David , Willis Tasha Y. , Rivera Jacqueline , Lueker Evelyn , Hernandez Maria
Published: May 2020

This qualitative study counters deficit narratives about first generation Latinx students by exploring multi ple forms of community cultural wealth (CCW; Yosso, 2005) that 25 students leveraged and increased during service activities and homestays in Costa Rica. Through longitudinal data and with CCW as a conceptual framework, three key themes emerged First, s tudents were able to leverage their linguistic and familial capital to connect quickly and meaningfully with locals. Additionally, students drew upon their linguistic, familial, aspirational, and resistant capital while abroad to deepen their engagement. Finally, student interaction with their forms of CCW appeared to deepen their bicultural identities, strengthen their resistance to injustice, and instill a strong desire to inspire other Latinx students to pursue international education. Implications fo r practice include an integrated approach to recognizing and rewarding students’ CCW related capital in the advising, application and preparation processes. Implications underscore the importance of using strengths based pedagogies in the design of educat ion abroad programs.
The Impacts of International Service Learning on a Host Community in Kenya: Host Student Perspectives Related to Global Citizenship and Relative Deprivation
Authors: Mogford Elizabeth , Lyons Christopher J.
Published: May 2020

Despite recent calls, research on ISL has focused almost exclusively on learning outcomes for global North students. We know comparatively less about how ISL programs may impact the knowledge and perceptions of student participants from hos t countries in the global South. We examine learning outcomes for Kenyan students who interact with visiting students from a U S university. Using an original survey and a case control design, we compare the responses of students from an ISL pa rtner school with those of students in a nearby control school to explore how program participation influences ideas about global citizenship, viewpoints about the United States and feelings of relative deprivation. Results point to the complexity of ISL programs and their impact on host country participants. On the one hand, we find that ISL partner students show higher levels of global citizenship than control group students. On the other hand, ISL partner students are more likely than the control gr oup to agree with unrealistically positive views of the United States and report greater feelings of relative deprivation. We apply Allport’s intergroup contact theory to interpret these findings and reflect on future directions.
Developing Global Competencies through International Teaching: Using Critical Cosmopolitan Theory to Compare Case Studies of Two Study Abroad Programs
Authors: Byker Erik Jon , Xu Tingting
Published: May 2020

For students to become global citizens they need globally competent teachers. The purpose of this article is to describe and compare the development of global competencies in teacher candidates who participated in international teaching-focused study abroad programs. The article is framed by Critical Cosmopolitan Theory (Byker, 2013), which offers a lens for the development of global competencies through the fusion of critical consciousness (Freire, 1970) and cosmopolitanism (Appiah, 2010). In the field of teacher education, study abroad experiences can help enhance teacher candidates’ commitment to culturally responsive teaching practices (Gay, 2002) and intercultural awareness (Hammer, Bennett, & Wiseman, 2003). The article reports on two case studies of study abroad programs for U.S. teacher candidates. One case study focuses on a study abroad program in China (n=13) and the other case study focuses on a study abroad program in South Africa (n=22). The article compares the teacher candidates’ perceptions of their study abroad experiences in relationship to the development of global competencies.
Fostering Global Competence through Short-Term Study Abroad
Authors: Schenker Theresa
Published: May 2020

The article summarizes the effects of an eight week short term study abroad program four weeks in the U nited S tates and four weeks in Germany on students’ global competence. Students’ global competence was measured with the Global Competence Aptitude Assessment (GCAA) before and after the eight week summer program. Data was collected from three summer programs and a total of 42 students participa ted in the study. The results indicate that students made statistically significant improvements in several dimensions of global competence but also statistically declined in one area. Suggestions for possible curricular and programmatic changes were made that may be put into place to provide more opportunities for the development of global competence in future iterations of this summer study abroad program.
Eastern Promises Fulfilled: The Differential Impact of Marketing-Focused Short-Term Study Abroad Programs in India and Japan
Authors: Iqbal Zafar
Published: May 2020

This study compares two marketing focused short term study programs in Asia (Indi a and Japan) and highlights reasons as to why students perceive that they learn more in one country than the other . Research to date has sparsely assessed the impact of study abroad programs on students’ perceived growth . The existing literature has rarely focused on short term study abroad programs while focusing mainly on undergraduate non business students studying in Europe in long term study abroad program s Short term study abroad programs (lasting less than eight weeks) are not considere d rigorous enough and several doubts exist as to their effectiveness as a pedagogical technique. This paper uses survey methodology and a sample of 92 undergraduate and graduate business students who have completed a short term study abroad program. The results show that students in these particular short term study abroad programs perceive greater personal, professional, and inter cultural growth than in a 10 week quarter long course. Students’ backgrounds could be a differential impact facto r, but more research needs to be done. Marketing educators, when designing short term study abroad programs, are encouraged to balance freedom and structure, and account for students’ backgrounds.
Taking Longer, but Finishing Just as Strong: A Comparison of Pell and Non-Pell Study Abroad Participants' GPA and Time-to-Graduation
Authors: Bell Steven D. , Glass Chris R.
Published: May 2020

Researchers compared Pell eligible and non Pell eligible undergraduate students’ pre study abroad GPA and graduation GPAs and time to graduation. The results indicated a longer time to graduation for Pell eligible students. However, Pell eligible students who had studied abroad graduated with comparable GPAs to their non Pell study abroad peers four and six years post matriculation. The results suggest that study abroad did not create an undue burden that impeded the success of students from low income households. We discuss implications for funding priorities, university development offices, and study abroad advising.

ألفاظ السرعة في القرآن الكريم " الصورة الاشتقاقية والدلالة السياقية "
Authors: حسن علي
Published: May 2020

لا تظهر القيمة الحقيقية للمشتق إلا في دلالته من خلال نص من النصوص الفصيحة، وهذا هو الهدف الذي يسعى بحثنا إلى تحقيقه؛ فقد جمع بين فصيلٍ من الألفاظ المشتقة التي تحمل جذرا لغويًّا واحدًا ـــ وبين دلالة هذه الألفاظ؛ ليس في نص فصيح فقط، وإنما في نص معجز أيضا؛ فاخترتُ ألفاظَ السرعةِ في القرآن الكريم. وقد رَكَّزْتُ دراستي على نوع اللفظة من حيث اشتقاقُها وصُورَتُها الصرفيةُ، ثم دلالتها المنبثقة من هذا الاشتقاق في ضوء السياق الذي وردت فيه.  

 ومن أهم النتائج أن وردت ألفاظ السرعة في القرآن الكريم ثلاثا وعشرين مرة؛ تسعا فعلية، وأربع عشرة اسمية. وقد أثبت البحث أن كثيرًا من الصيغ الصرفية إذا كانت خارج سياق نصي ــ تشبه اللفظة المفردة التي لم يحتوِها تركيب؛ فلا يمكن إعرابها؛ كذلك الصيغة الصرفية لا نستطيع وَصْفَ دلالتها وصفا دقيقا إلا إذا وقعت في تركيب وسياق يستنطق تلك الدلالة.

Por outro lado, não se pode ignorar o alerta da presente obra. Aquilo que pode ser uma grande ferramenta mediadora para o processo educacional pode transformar-se em impedimento da aprendizagem, na medida em que seu uso requer reflexão crítica e ética nas práticas sociais, incluindo as escolares.
The Mladotice Lake, western Czechia: The unique genesis and evolution of the lake basin
Authors: Janský Bohumír , Schulte Achim , Česák Julius , Escobar Vanessa Rios
Published: May 2020

The Mladotice Lake is a lake of unique genetic type in Czechia. In May 1872 a landslide as a result an extreme rainfall event occurred in western Czechia, blocking the Mladotický stream valley and creating the Mladotice Lake. The 1952 and 1975 air images document that collective farming had a great impact on the lake basin evolution when balks and field terraces were removed and fields were made much larger. Because of this change in land use we expected higher soil erosion and a related increase in the sedimentation rate. First bathymetric measurements of the newly created lake were carried out in 1972 and were repeated in 1999 and in 2003. Our analysis of the sedimentary record aims to identify the sediment stratigraphy, its basic physical and chemical properties, isotope content and thin sections yield a detailed temporal resolution of the sedimentation chronology. In some areas a sediment thickness of 4 m was detected. Hence, the average sedimentation rate is from 2.2 to 2.7 cm per year.
Extreme summer and winter temperatures in the Czech Lands after A.D. 1500 and their Central European context
Authors: Dobrovolný Petr , Brázdil Rudolf , Kotyza Oldřich , Valášek Hubert
Published: May 2020

Extremely cold/mild winters (DJF) and extremely cold/warm summers (JJA) in the Czech Lands were derived from series of temperature indices based on documentary evidence (1500–1854) and from series of air temperatures measured at the Prague-Klementinum station (1771–2007) over the past 500 years. Altogether 24 cold winters, 23 mild winters, 18 cold summers and 21 warm summers emerged. Czech extremes were compared with the Central European temperature series and series of documentary-based temperature indices for the Low Countries, Germany and Switzerland. Analysis of composite sea level pressure fields confirms advection of cold air from the north-west (extremely cold summers) or from the east (extremely cold winters). Mild winters are related to warm airflow from the west or south-west and extremely warm summers to the influence of high pressure related to the Azores High. Spatial correlations of extremes for winters proved better than for summers. We demonstrate that documentary evidence explains temperature variability for winter better than it does for the other seasons.
Ecological survey of river habitat diversity: trans-boundary cooperation in the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory, Erzgebirge)
Authors: Matoušková Milada , Weiß Annett , Matschullat Jörg
Published: May 2020

Results of a trans-boundary ecological survey of the cross-border Rolava and Weisseritz river catchments in the Erzgebirge/Krušné hory are presented. An optimized method to assess the ecohydrological status of streams in keeping with the European Water Framework Directive has been developed. Guiding parameters for the hydromorphological survey were selected, used for (1) the German “Gewaesserstrukturguetekartierung” by the Field Survey method of the Laenderarbeitsgemeinschaft Wasser, (2) the Czech EcoRivHab method and (3) the Czech HEM method that additionally comply with the requirements of the European Standard EN 14614. Hydrochemical monitoring supported the interpretation of the hydrobiological data. The assessment followed the stream type specific background and orientation values. Hydrobiological monitoring focussed on benthic macroinvertebrates, stream type, and stressor specific assessment. Five ecohydrological quality classes were established from 1 (high) to 5 (bad), characterizing the state of the water course in the WFD context.

Two model municipality areas on the Czech-Bavarian (German) border were examined. The objective of research was to determine the changes which land use in different types of the natural environment on both sides of the border has undergone over the last 200 years with respect to the social driving forces. The task was based on historical studies of archived materials statistical a cartographic materials, recent fieldworks and finally carried out in the GIS environment, which encompassed maps of natural landscape units of both areas and land use maps of 1829–1840, 1935–1938 and in 2002–2007. Results show a high degree of similarity in the dominance of the main forms now as output of previous development: in forests, meadows and arable land, as well as in corresponding types of units on both sides of the border. Through clustering, the development trends of all the units have been detected. These trends tend to lead toward a similar form of present land use.
Alternative to jobless growth? All-India context and a case of participatory development scheme from rural Tamil Nadu
Authors: Novotný Josef , Ramachandran Nallan
Published: May 2020

The article outlines some of the problems, challenges, and prospects in relation to contemporary Indian development with a special focus on rural India. The paper seeks to contrast traditional modernization views on development assuming progressive structural transformation through industrialization with Indian reality by stressing the importance of the enhancement of employment, and more generally livelihood, opportunities for the masses of underutilized labor. In addition to a brief discussion of the context at the all-India level, the case of a rural region in central eastern Tamil Nadu is examined to provide a picture of the everyday living conditions of local villagers and to indicate some of the problems and uncertainties they are typically confronted with. The rural development project called Periyar PURA (Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas) is then discussed which attempts to present a model of how to tackle some of these problems.
Application of the Czech landscape research experience in the desert environment to support archeological study
Authors: Kolejka Jaromír , Misáková Lucie , Brůna Vladimír
Published: May 2020

The landscape mapping represents a traditional activity of Czech geographers for more than a century. Czech landscape research and mapping experience supported by remotely sensed data and GIS technique was used in the Al-Baharíya oasis (Egypt, Western Desert) to construct both the map of present landscape with natural and human-made objects, and the reconstruction natural landscape map showing the study area at the approximate time of early settlement. Such products present selected sites, today mostly covered with sandy dunes, where the possibility to find ancient dwelling sites is higher in analogy with sites of present archaeological excavation.
Aleatorische Literatur als Grenzüberschreitung
Authors: Joeres Yvonne
Published: May 2020

Das hier von R. C. Phelan aufgegriffene, vielzitierte infinite monkey theorem, das Theorem der endlos tippenden Affen, die irgendwann neben einem enormen Haufen Unsinns sämtliche Werke der Hochkultur, ja überhaupt sämtliche möglichen Texte getippt haben werden,
ist ein kultur- und epochenübergreifendes Motiv, das sich in mannigfaltiger Gestaltung, Vorformen und Abwandlungen wiederfindet, wie schon Jorge Luis Borges es in seiner Abhandlung La Biblioteca Total (1931) vorführt.2 Dass das Theorem, je populärer es wurde,
mathematische Beweisführungen zum Thema Unendlichkeit und Wahrscheinlichkeit nach sich zog, dass Forscher und Studierende verschiedener Universitäten bereits (wenig überzeugende) Versuche mit Affen und Schreibmaschinen bzw. Computertastaturen durchgeführt haben,3
verwundert kaum – ist aber für die Konsequenz, die die Aleatorik für das System Literatur mit sich bringt, eher marginal. Relevanter dagegen ist, was die Literatur selbst aus diesem Theorem gemacht hat, denn als Motiv ist es bereits aus erzähltheoretischer Perspektive
hochinteressant, weisen doch die Texte, die es enthalten, meist komplizierte selbstreferentielle Gefüge und komplex ineinander verwobene Diegesen auf.
Dirty Traffic and the Dark Pastoral in the Anthropocene: Narrating Refugees, Deforestation, Radiation, and Melting Ice
Authors: Sullivan Heather I.
Published: May 2020

“Dirt is essentially disorder [....] Dirt offends against order,”1 asserts Mary Douglas in her 1966 anthropological text on “purity and pollution.” Dirt disturbs order; hence dirt is that which is disorderly and “out of place.” Similarly,
according to Greg Garrard’s Ecocriticism (2012) the term pollution describes a cultural norm denoting something out of place: pollution, he writes, “does not name a substance or class of substances, but rather represents an implicit normative claim that too much of something
is present in the environment, usually in the wrong place.”2 This definition of pollution and dirt as “something out of place,” however, is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain since industrial particulates now cover the entire surface of the Earth in a
geologically traceable layer of anthropogenic substances.3 Pollution has no place but rather is everyplace, and functions like a form of “dirty traffic,” flowing through both biotic and abiotic cycles alike and entering virtually every organic body and cycle occurring
in the biosphere (water, carbon, nitrogen, energy, etc.).4 We now measure amounts of anthropogenically generated or distributed toxins in our body – and the earth’s surfaces – rather than their presence or absence, and so we name our era the “Anthropocene,”
the age of human influence on the geological body, and the planetary infusion by dirty traffic.
Borgesian and Shakespearean Allusions in Die Ringe des Saturn by W. G. Sebald
Authors: Ellison Ian
Published: May 2020

The distinct elements of the Die Ringe des Saturn1 by W. G. Sebald – fragments of history, memory, (auto)biography – are various and discrete, although they hang together as a coherent entirety. Yet there still remains space in between these elements, created
by Sebald’s allusions to other works of literature, where the themes of the novel may be addressed. The title of Sebald’s novel itself not only reflects the author’s novelistic praxis of collecting disparate, mysterious elements and arranging them as a harmonious whole, but
also echoes the novel’s themes of annihilation and reconciliation. Gareth Howell-Jones has gone so far as to posit that the novel’s title acts as a metaphor for the human condition, claiming that “as Saturn is encircled by rings made up of the fragments of a former moon,
so we revolve surrounded by the shards of a lost and broken-up world, ‘our history which is but a long account of calamities’”.2 In ­quoting from the English translation of Die Ringe des Saturn itself, Howell-Jones reminds us of Sebald’s writing
style, which intends “to evoke, to suggest, to make references that can lead in several directions or exist on several levels,”3 much like the very title of the novel.
Transformation des Journalismus in Zeiten der großen Gereiztheit
Authors: Pörksen Bernhard
Published: May 2020

Resentment toward the media establishment is on the move – from the far right towards the centre of society. With fatal effect: it turns media criticism and journalism debates into ideologically entrenched battles which in turn lead to reciprocally escalating crises of trust and,
subsequently, funding in journalism. An essay on this new power dynamic and a vision of communication in the digital age.
Im Kontextdickicht. Der Ort des Journalismus in Zeiten neuer Speicherkulturen. : In context thicket. The place of journalism in times of digital memory cultures and storage technologies
Authors: Breitenborn Uwe
Published: May 2020

New and diverse forms of media use require consequences for the professional training and education of journalists. Is a radical redefinition of the place of journalism necessary? We see convergence processes that connect public and interpersonal communication intensively which leaves
significant traces in the professional field of journalism. There is much talk of the crisis of journalism. Is it a crisis of the framework conditions of journalism in which at long last the precarization of the journalistic profession is reflected? Or are the upheavals results, which are
mainly the immense effects of digital memory cultures and storage technologies reflected. Technology development is an essential aspect of the erosion of journalism. But it is also the core of the transformation process. Localization of journalism means asking the right questions: Questions
about the relationship between public, editorial and mobilization. Storage technologies are a substantial driving force as well as bridge technology.
