description: Im Zeitalter einer „unkontrollierbare[n] ‘Bilderflut’ der elektronischen Medien” (10) gewinnt eine allgemeine Bildwissenschaft an Bedeutung. Der Sammelband bietet Orientierung in einer Bilddidaktik, die auf den interdisziplinären, im angloamerikanischen Raum bereits etablierten Visual Culture Studies basiert. Die Herausgeber setzen sich zum Ziel, didaktische Aspekte für die Arbeit mit Bildern in Schule und Hochschule mithilfe von achtzehn Beiträgen aus den Bereichen Sprache, Literatur, Kunst und Medien zu erläutern. Die Zielsetzung basiert auf der engen Verbindung zwischen Bildlichkeit und Sprache, Bildtechnik und Medialität. Insbesondere bilddidaktische Aspekte im Deutschunterricht, dem die praktischen Umsetzungen der oft geforderten visuellen Kompetenzen fehlen, sollen erörtert werden.
On Particles Creation and Renormalization in a Cosmological Model with a Big Rip

description: An exact solution is obtained for a massive scalar field conformally coupled with the curvature in a cosmological model with the scale factor $a(t) = a_0 / |t|$, corresponding to background matter with the equation of state $ p = - 5 \varepsilon /3 $. An expression for the number density of created particles is obtained, and its behavior is studies as the model approached the instant of a Big Rip. Renormalization of the energy-momentum tensor is considered, and it is shown that back reaction of the quantum effects of a conformally coupled scalar field on the space-time metric can be neglected if the field mass is much smaller than the Planck mass and if the time left to the Big Rip is greater than the Planck time.

description: We begin a study of the representation theory of quantum continuous $\mathfrak{gl}_\infty$, which we denote by $\mathcal E$. This algebra depends on two parameters and is a deformed version of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of difference operators acting on the space of Laurent polynomials in one variable. Fundamental representations of $\mathcal E$ are labeled by a continuous parameter $u\in {\mathbb C}$. The representation theory of $\mathcal E$ has many properties familiar from the representation theory of $\mathfrak{gl}_\infty$: vector representations, Fock modules, semi-infinite constructions of modules. Using tensor products of vector representations, we construct surjective homomorphisms from $\mathcal E$ to spherical double affine Hecke algebras $S\ddot H_N$ for all $N$. A key step in this construction is an identification of a natural bases of the tensor products of vector representations with Macdonald polynomials. We also show that one of the Fock representations is isomorphic to the module constructed earlier by means of the $K$-theory of Hilbert schemes.

Improving the motor and cognitive performance among multiple sclerosis patients through the use of mental imagery
Creators: name: Charlotte, Melanie S.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is characterized by a demyelination of neuronal axons within the central nervous system that results in a range of neurological deficits. Currently, researchers and physicians are providing MS patients with a variety of treatments and therapies to help manage symptoms of the disease. However, due to physical limitations, mental practice may be a useful alternative to conventional physical therapy. Mental practice involves the repeated mental simulation of a goal directed movement for improving one's actual performance. This study hypothesized that patients who undergo an eight week upper extremity mental practice intervention would improve their performance more so than those who have had no practice at all. Moreover, the study evaluated whether an increase in performance on the mentally practiced task would generalize to other domains, such as cognition and lower extremity function. Although the results were not significant, they did support the use of mental practice as a tool for rehabilitation.

Spatial ecology and diet of Maryland endangered Northern Map Turtles (Graptemys   geographica) in an altered river system: Implications for conservation and management
Creators: name: Richards-Dimitrie, Teal M.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2012

description: Riverine turtle species are declining worldwide and many populations have been extirpated due to anthropogenic impacts. Last officially recorded in Maryland in the early-1990?s, the Northern Map Turtle (Graptemys geographica) is listed as state endangered and is currently only known from the lower Susquehanna River in northern Maryland with a few records from nearby waterways (Elk and Bush Rivers). The Susquehanna River is divided by a hydroelectric dam, is used for recreation, and has increasing shoreline development, all of which may negatively impact this population. Given the absence of basic ecological data of map turtles in Maryland, I used trapping and radio-telemetry techniques to examine home range, movement patterns, and diet of G. geographica. My data will assist biologists, managers, and others interested in conserving this species in Maryland as well as provide insights for riverine turtles facing similar threats.

description: Excerpts from the report: Those who work with families continuously, giving advice on the management of family finances, need to know what changes are taking place in family spending, how spending differs in various parts of the United States, and how it differs among families of different size and composition. Information about family expenditures is also a useful tool in assessing how well families are living. We know, for example, that families that spend more for food are likely to have better diets than those who spend less. After a lapse of many years, a large-scale survey has provided us with data on the spending of farm families in the year 1955. Another nationwide survey provides information on family food consumption, both urban and rural, for the same year. These data, together with urban data for 1950 collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are used here to provide a review of the nature of family spending in recent years.
Statistical Mechanics of systems with long range interactions

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent theoretical studies of statistical mechanical properties of systems with long range interactions are briefly reviewed. In these systems the interaction potential decays with a rate slower than 1/r^d at large distances r in d dimensions. As a result, these systems are non-additive and they display unusual thermodynamic and dynamical properties which are not present in systems with short range interactions. In particular, the various statistical mechanical ensembles are not equivalent and the microcanonical specific heat may be negative. Long range interactions may also result in breaking of ergodicity, making the maximal entropy state inaccessible from some regions of phase space. In addition, in many cases long range interactions result in slow relaxation processes, with time scales which diverge in the thermodynamic limit. Various models which have been found to exhibit these features are discussed.

description: A theoretical framework for analyzing stochastic data from single-particle tracking in complex or viscoelastic materials and under the influence of a trapping potential is presented. Starting from a generalized Langevin equation we found explicit expressions for the two-time dynamics of the tracer particle. The mean square displacement and the velocity autocorrelation function of the diffusing particle are given in terms of the time lag. In particular, we investigate the subdiffusive case. The exact solutions are discussed and the validity of usual approximations are examined.

Subjects: project charter

description: Project charter for CDH sponsored project bitKlavier. The charter is the foundational document that describes the rationale, goals, plan of work, resources needed, terms and conditions, and outcomes of a Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton (hereafter CDH) project. Charters are written by core members of a project team in a series of planning meetings taking place over the course of a month. The planning process is intensive, collaborative and requires substantial input from everyone on a team. Charters serve as formalized agreements among all team members on such crucial questions as scope, technical design, infrastructural needs, and success criteria. A draft of each project charter is peer-reviewed by all CDH staff, and optionally by additional partners or stakeholders, at a “design review” before the start of project work. It is circulated at least one week before the review takes place in an open comment period. Questions and concerns from this period may be raised at the design review. Project teams have two weeks after the design review to address any issues raised and make any requested changes. Project work only begins (and funds are released) once the charter has been finalized and signed by the Project Director (PI) and the CDH Faculty Director. Charters are amended as necessary throughout the project lifecycle to document major changes and note when “Built by CDH” Software Warranty and “Built by CDH” Long Term Service Agreement take effect, and serve as part of the CDH project archive. CDH charters and their planning documents exist in several forms as we have refined them over the years and tailored them to the several types of projects we have supported.

An investigation of the influence of gender on auditory processing abilities in typically developing children
Creators: name: Boiano, Julie
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: The auditory processing abilities of 27 typically developing children between the ages of 7;0 and 12;11 years were assessed using a behavioral auditory processing test battery and an additional test battery in order to develop age-appropriate normative data for the local population. All participants were screened using an additional test battery to evaluate their nonverbal IQ, phonological processing, and sustained attention abilities. The participants were age and gender balanced in order to investigate the potential influence of maturation and gender on auditory processing abilities. Results revealed an overall improvement in auditory processing abilities with increasing age for some assessments, primarily between the youngest and oldest age groups (i.e., 7-8 year group and 11-12 year group). Although the significant influence of age was not observed on all tests, it is important to recognize the presence of elevated test performance and ceiling effects for most auditory processing assessments. Further, results revealed that the auditory processing abilities of males and females were not statistically different, nor was there a significant difference between left and right ear performance. This study represents one-fourth of a larger scale research study and, ultimately, the results will be collapsed across studies and normative data developed for the region.

description: Die Bedeutung des soziokulturellen Umfelds für den Unterricht steht spätestens seit der Berliner Didaktik (vgl. Heimann/Otto/Schulz 1965; Hess 2003) außer Frage. Es zählt zu den Bedingungsfeldern der Analyse und Planung von Unterricht, die vorgegeben sind, die von den am Lerngeschehen Beteiligten nur indirekt über die Folgen des Unterrichts beeinflusst werden können und auch werden, wenngleich nicht immer in der von Planern und Ausführenden intendierten Weise. Diese Vermitteltheit der Wirkungszusammenhänge macht es somit schwierig, Ursachen und Folgen stringent miteinander in Verbindung zu bringen, was sicherlich mit dazu beiträgt, dass sie in einschlägigen Analysen entweder übergangen oder nicht mit der notwendigen Tiefe bearbeitet werden. Es kommt hinzu, dass diese weiten Felder potenzieller Wirkkräfte naturgemäß weniger konkret zu erfassen sind als Fragen zu den Intentionen, Inhalten, Methoden oder Medien des Unterrichts, also denjenigen Faktoren, die die Entscheidungsfelder im Modell der Berliner Didaktik konstituieren.

A survey of audiologists? clinical practices and their formal education and training in the assessment and management of adults with vestibular pathologies
Creators: name: Blohm, Ashlee
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: A survey of audiologists? clinical practices and their formal education and training in vestibular topic areas was sent to 900 practicing audiologists. A total of 334 surveys were returned, both in print and online. The results of the survey were primarily focused on the participants? reported comfort levels in providing a number of vestibular assessment and treatment procedures. These comfort levels were evaluated as a function of the participants? levels of education (i.e., Master?s degree, Au.D., or Ph.D in hearing science) as well as their years of clinical experience conducting these procedures (i.e., 0-5 years, 6-10 years, and 10+ years).     The results of this survey indicated that the audiologists? years of clinical experience had a broad impact on participants? self-reported comfort levels in administering and interpreting several assessment procedures as well as providing treatment procedures, such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy. In contrast, it appears that audiologists? level of higher education had only a minimal effect on participants? mean comfort levels in the administration and interpretation of various vestibular assessment and treatment procedures. A review of 59 academic programs in audiology that are currently accredited by ASHA indicated that there are typically very few courses specifically focused on vestibular topics. It is hypothesized that if more academic courses as well as hands-on lab exercises related to these vestibular-based topics were available to students, then it is likely that audiologists? comfort levels in administering and correctly interpreting various vestibular diagnostic tests and rehabilitation test protocols would likely increase.      Future research in this area is necessary to determine more specific ways to enhance audiologists? education in the assessment and management of individuals with vestibular disorders.

description: Obwohl es mittlerweile weithin akzeptiert ist, dass mündliche Fehlerkorrektur dem Erwerb einer Zweit- bzw.

In diesem Artikel werden der kognitiv-interaktionistische sowie der soziokulturelle Ansatz der Fremdsprachenforschung im Hinblick auf ihre theoretischen Positionen und empirischen Befunde zur Wirksamkeit korrektiven Feedbacks vorgestellt. Die Autoren vertreten die Auffassung, die Forschungsergebnisse des kognitiv-interaktionistischen Ansatzes untermauerten die Forderung der soziokulturellen Theorie, dass korrektives Feedback stets auf die kontextuellen und individuellen Bedingungen jeder konkreten Lernsituation „zugeschnitten“ werden sollte.

description: Es ist nicht zu übersehen, dass in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten das Interesse der Fremdsprachenerwerbs-forschung an gedächtnispsychologischen und hirnphysiologischen Befunden zugenommen hat. Dies zielt nicht zuletzt darauf ab, den komplexen Prozess des menschlichen Lernens besser zu verstehen, um darauf basierend den Fremdsprachenunterricht effizienter gestalten zu können. In diesem Zusammenhang drängen sich Fragen auf, wie das menschliche Gedächtnis funktioniert, wie viele Gedächtnisarten es gibt bzw. wie diese miteinander interagieren, um das erlernte Wissen als dauerhaft abrufbares Wissen zu stabilisieren, wie Erinnerungen in Hirnstrukturen verankert werden, welche neurophysiologischen Prozessen der fremdsprachlichen Wissensan-eignung zugrunde liegen usw. Das vorliegende Buch, das „‚Gedächtnis’ für den interessierten Laien aus neurowissenschaftlicher Sicht in allen seinen Facetten darstellen [soll]“ (9), versucht solche und ähnliche Fragen zu beantworten. Der Autor, ausgewiesener Neurowissenschaftler und Neuropsychologe, gliedert sein Buch in acht Kapitel: Gedächtnis – Formen und Facetten, Gedächtnis in heutiger Sicht, Varianten von Gedächtnis bei Tier und Mensch, Gedächtnisverarbeitung im Gehirn – Anatomie des Gedächtnisses, Gedächtnis-störungen nach Hirnschäden und Korrelate funktioneller Bildgebung, Beeinflussung des Gedächtnisses durch Psyche und Umwelt, Gedächtnisdiagnostik und Gedächtnistrainingstechniken, Ausblick: Erinnern und Vergessen.

Gender identity reflection and rumination scale: development and psychometric evaluation
Creators: name: Bauerband, L. Andrew
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: This research develops the Gender Identity Reflection and Rumination Scale (GRRS), a scale that specifically measures rumination in the context of gender identity. Items of the GRRS were formulated taking into account previous research in rumination, stigma stress, and identity processing relevant to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community. Two samples were collected to investigate the psychometric properties of the GRRS. Exploratory factor analysis of data from 222 transgender participants resulted in three factors of gender identity rumination, (a) reflection, (b) rumination, (c) preoccupation with others? perceptions. Confirmatory factor analysis of data from 312 transgender participants substantiated the 3-factor model of the GRRS. The 15-item GRRS demonstrated acceptable reliability and followed expected correlation patterns with various validity measures. This research provides a holistic approach for considering rumination in the transgender population.

description: This is the fourth paper in a series in which we attempt to put constraints on the flattening of dark halos in disk galaxies. We observed for this purpose the HI in edge-on galaxies, where it is in principle possible to measure the force field in the halo vertically and radially from gas layer flaring and rotation curve decomposition respectively. We have analysed the HI channel maps to accurately measure all four functions that describe the HI kinematics and 3D distribution: the radial HI surface density, the HI vertical thickness, the rotation curve and the HI velocity dispersion. In this paper we analyse these data for the edge-on galaxy UGC7321. We measured the stellar mass distribution ($M=3\times10^8$ \msun with $M/L_R\lesim0.2$), finding that the vertical force of the gas disk dominates the stellar disk at all radii. We find that the vertical force puts a much stronger constraint on the stellar mass-to-light ratio than rotation curve decomposition. Fitting of the vertical force field derived from the flaring and velocity dispersion of the HI revealed that UGC7321 has a spherical halo density distribution with a flattening of $q = c/a = 1.0 \pm 0.1$.

Electrophysiological responses of taste-receptor cells to various feeding stimulants, deterrents, and their interactions in gypsy moth larvae, Lymantria dispar (L.)
Creators: name: Martin, Timothy Lee
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2011

description: Gypsy moth larvae are highly polyphagous feeders. They possess taste sensory  organs, the medial and lateral galeal styloconic sensilla, which play an important role in  host-plant selection through the detection of phytochemicals, such as alkaloids. The  styloconic sensilla each house four taste receptor cells, including a sugar, salt, deterrent,  and inositol cell. Using a single cell electrophysiological tip-recording method, my aim  was to characterize the temporal firing patterns and sensitivities of the receptor cells  within each sensillum when exposed to a selected phytochemicals. These results  revealed that one or more cells responded to selected alkaloids, sugars, sugar alcohols,  and salt. The deterrent cell exhibited a robust temporal firing pattern and displayed  varying sensitivity to alkaloid stimulation. I also examined the effects of mixture  interactions of these phytochemicals on food palatability. This study offers insights into  the role of phytochemicals, especially alkaloids, in the taste physiology of this larval  insect.

description: We use the star formation history map of the Large Magellanic Cloud to study the sites of the eight smallest (and presumably youngest) supernova remnants in the Cloud: SN 1987A, N158A, N49, and N63A (core collapse remnants), 0509-67.5, 0519-69.0, N103B, and DEM L71 (Type Ia remnants). The local star formation histories provide unique insights into the nature of the supernova progenitors, which we compare with the properties of the supernova explosions derived from the remnants themselves and from supernova light echoes. We find that all the core collapse supernovae that we have studied are associated with vigorous star formation in the recent past. Stars more massive than 21.5Msun are very scarce around SNR N49, implying that the magnetar SGR 0526-66 in this SNR was either formed elsewhere or came from a progenitor with a mass well below the 30Msun threshold suggested in the literature. Three of our four Ia SNRs are associated with old, metal poor stellar populations. This includes SNR 0509-67.5, which is known to have been originated by an extremely bright Type Ia event, and yet is located very far away from any sites of recent star formation, in a population with a mean age of 7.9 Gyr. The Type Ia SNR N103B, on the other hand, is associated with recent star formation, and might have had a relatively younger and more massive progenitor with substantial mass loss before the explosion. We discuss these results in the context of our present understanding of core collapse and Type Ia supernova progenitors.

description: We show that a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type four-fermion coupling at the z=3 Lifshitz-like fixed point in 3+1 dimensions is asymptotically free and generates a mass scale dynamically. This result is nonperturbative in the limit of a large number of fermion species. The theory is ultra-violet complete and at low energies exhibits Lorentz invariance as an emergent spacetime symmetry. Many of our results generalize to z=d in odd d spatial dimensions; z=d=1 corresponds to the Gross-Neveu model. The above mechanism of mass generation has potential applications to the fermion mass problem and to dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. We present a scenario in which a composite Higgs field arises from a condensate of these fermions, which then couples to quarks and leptons of the standard model. Such a scenario could eliminate the need for the Higgs potential and the associated hierarchy problem. We also show that the axial anomaly formula at z=3 coincides with the usual one in the relativistic domain.

description: Project charter for CDH sponsored project Derrida's Margins. The charter is the foundational document that describes the rationale, goals, plan of work, resources needed, terms and conditions, and outcomes of a Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton (hereafter CDH) project. Charters are written by core members of a project team in a series of planning meetings taking place over the course of a month. The planning process is intensive, collaborative and requires substantial input from everyone on a team. Charters serve as formalized agreements among all team members on such crucial questions as scope, technical design, infrastructural needs, and success criteria. A draft of each project charter is peer-reviewed by all CDH staff, and optionally by additional partners or stakeholders, at a “design review” before the start of project work. It is circulated at least one week before the review takes place in an open comment period. Questions and concerns from this period may be raised at the design review. Project teams have two weeks after the design review to address any issues raised and make any requested changes. Project work only begins (and funds are released) once the charter has been finalized and signed by the Project Director (PI) and the CDH Faculty Director. Charters are amended as necessary throughout the project lifecycle to document major changes and note when “Built by CDH” Software Warranty and “Built by CDH” Long Term Service Agreement take effect, and serve as part of the CDH project archive. CDH charters and their planning documents exist in several forms as we have refined them over the years and tailored them to the several types of projects we have supported.

subject: Food safety, traceability, certification and authenticity

description: Millions face food safety threats, with 70% of rural African staples like cocoyam and sorghum harbouring toxic cyanogenic glycosides. To ensure safe consumption, we employed neutron reflection, a rapid, sustainable technique, to assess hydrogen content, which inversely correlates with cyanide levels. This non-destructive approach proved effective, paving the way for routine food quality control and improved public health through the innovative application of particle radiation technology.

description: Die Bandbreite dieser Sammlung von Beiträgen, überwiegend für das V. Mediendidaktische Kolloquium im Oktober 2000 in Hamburg verfasst, reicht über sprach- und lernphilosophische Betrachtungen, kognitions-theoretische Grundlagenreflexionen und Berichte aus der Forschung bis hin zur Präsentation konkreter Unterrichtserfahrungen. Ein gewisses Maß an Heterogenität ist bei Publikationen dieser Art nicht zu vermeiden, macht sogar häufig den Reiz der Zusammenstellung aus, wenn Widersprüchlichkeiten oder zumindest alternative Betrachtungs- und Analyseweisen unmittelbar aufeinander treffen. Letzteres gilt auf jeden Fall für den vorliegenden Band, wenn zu Beschreibungen der didaktischen Aufgaben von Texten und Bildern im Prozess des Fremdsprachenlernens aus unterschiedlichen Positionen und Erfahrungen heraus Stellung bezogen wird oder wenn primär psychologischen eher pädagogische Lehr-Lernansätze gegenüber gestellt werden.
Forensic clinics : a comparative study
Creators: name: Armstrong, John Maxwell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The main purpose of this study is to examine the uses of forensic clinics in the administration of criminal justice as devices for the identification, diagnosis of treatment of psychiatric disorder in convicted offenders. A subsidiary aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of the establishment of such a facility in British Columbia. The thesis is introduced by an account of those changes in the criminal law which have resulted in its ceasing to be a simple instrument of deterrence and in increasing attention being paid to the principles of extenuation and rehabilitation. An attempt is then made to survey and evaluate recently published data on the prevalence and distribution of mental disorders in criminal populations, and the conclusion is drawn that approximately one fifth of all persons convicted of an indictable offence in typical North American jurisdictions are suffering from psychiatric problems serious enough to play an important part in their prospects of rehabilitation, even if those problems have had little direct causal significance in the commission of the original crimes. This is followed by a survey of the statutory auspices, administrative structures, clinical programs and financial bases of eight established forensic clinics, seven in the United States and one in Canada. This survey, together with material drawn from the published literature of criminology and public administration, serves as the basis of an attempt to formulate the requirements of an "ideal" forensic clinic. The model synthesized in this fashion is then applied to the local Provincial situation and a series of recommendations are made concerning the procedures to be followed and the principles to be observed in establishing a forensic clinic in British Columbia. The principal desiderata of effectiveness for a forensic clinic identified in the thesis are that: (1) in regard to both staffing arrangements and the character of its program, the clinic should be inter-disclipinary rather than purely psychiatric; (2) it should be expected to give purpose and precision to existing correctional facilities in the penal system, and not to compensate for the fact that none actually exist; (3) it should have no fixed commitment to dealing exclusively with one particular class of offenders (such as sexual offenders), but should hold itself ready to deal with any offenders whose problems and whose treatment it can competently advise on; (4) its workloads should never be such as to reduce its activities to routine levels or raise the dangers of perfunctoriness; (5) it must be sensitive to the working problems and needs of the courts of criminal justice but independent of direct control by the judiciary.

description: The expansion of college education in Brazil, due to its territorial extension, is a challenge for the government (Nunes et al., 2010). The proposal of distance degree course in Physical Education teacher has as principle a broad and deep training on the area as a curricular component in schools, the development of citizenship and life quality and promoting health. Besides political and ethical questions that arerelevant to the teaching profession in Brazil. According to the method chosen for the course, with the use of computational resources and other technological tools, such as video and multimedia ones, students will have during the course the mastery of information and communication, digital and analogic technologies that are essential to education (Physical Education, 2012). Supervisor teachers are responsible for developing the discipline, and also conducting pedagogical meetings with distance tutors and coordinating the course, planning activities aimed to presence required meetings, participating in the training of classroom and distance tutor teachers, guiding the dynamics of mentoring as well as making monitoring and evaluation reports (Vieira, 2008). The supervisor teacher should be preferentially a permanentteacher at UnB, which often does not even have experience and interest in Distance Education (EAD in Portuguese). The tutor has the function of assisting a students class, individually, mediating their behavior and studies, always on the coordination of the supervisor teacher. This must necessarily be a physical education teacher, who often already has a high weekly workload in order to perform the duties of tutor. In a study (Soares et al., 2013) students said tutors have a little proactive  behavior in finding solutions and solving problems. This factshows the need to conduct more consistent training, directed to the development and unity of academic and operational skills in managing various situations and conflicts that permeate the scenario where the proposal of distance teacher training is inserted and expands the tutor teachertraining for coherentacting with the demands of EAD.
Degeneration of masculinity in the fictions of Franz Kafka and Fyodor Dostoevsky
Creators: name: Johnson, Lynda
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: The portraiture of masculinity in Western literature has changed overtime. There has been a shift from traditional traits of masculinity, to atypical traits of maleness as seen in modern fictions. The typical attributes of masculinity such as achievement, virility and patriarchal hegemony with which male heroes in pre- Victorian and Victorian literatures were endowed, are notably absent in the major works of Franz Kafka and Fyodor Dostoevsky. This study is an analysis of the male characters? degenerated masculinity in Dostoevsky?s Crime and Punishment and The Idiot, and Kafka?s A Hunger Artist and The Metamorphosis. Using Victorian masculinity as an example of traditional masculinity, I identify the male characters? atypical traits of masculinity and interpret them as degenerated. The male characters? degenerated masculinity are identified and analyzed in terms of their deviations from familial and socially constructed gender roles that were prevalent in the Victorian literary tradition.

description: Bilder begegnen uns überall. Visuelle Botschaften bilden einen wesentlichen Teil unseres Alltags und prägen die Entwicklung unserer Gesellschaft. Im Zeitalter der fortschreitenden Medialisierung zeichnet sich ein Wandel von der Wort- zur Bildkultur ab (sog. "visuelle Zeitwende", vgl. Frey 1999: 27). Durch die "Omnipräsenz der Bilder" (Maar 2004: 12) nimmt ihre Bedeutung für die Lernprozesse, für die Informationsentnahme und die ästhetischen Wahrnehmungen im Alltag deutlich zu.
