Ricostruire il passato per legittimare il presente: il mana wahine e le herstories fra le donne maori
Creators: name: Carbone, Chiara
Publisher: name: AG About Gender - Rivista internazionale di studi di genere
Year: 2018

description: This paper explores the conceptual and epistemological framework of mana wahine, a field of investigation analyzed and enriched by the contributions of indigenous Māori intellectuals in New Zealand. The mana wahine scholars explore the constructions of the gender translated and embodied by European colonialism, and by intellectual actions, they rehab the relationship between women, social prestige and colonial relationship.

The reconstruction of their gender roles takes place with the re-narration of the cosmogonical and mythological stories, through a self-representation strategy that facilitates the self-determination process of the Māori intellectual women.

Reconstructing a past full of stories in which women act as protagonists and play leadership roles, the women’s ‘herstories’ become cultural objects, tools of legitimization of the present, characterized by the rise of the intellectual practices of Māori women in the New Zealand and in the international public sphere.

Keywords: Mana Wahine, Decolonizing Politics, Gender roles, Māori women, intellectual practices.

title: Reportagen im kritischen GCED-orientierten Deutsch- und Literaturunterricht
Creators: name: Haslinger, Romana
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Eignung von Reportagen für einen Deutsch- und Literaturunterricht, der einer Kritischen Lesart von Global Citizenship Education (GCED) folgt. Im Unterschied zur Schwachen Lesart, die primär den Handlungsspielraum von Individuen in den Blick rückt, fokussiert eine Kritische Strukturen und Systeme, die hegemoniale Verhältnisse hervorbringen und stabilisieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Reportagen aus der gleichnamigen Zeitschrift „Reportagen“ untersucht. Die Kritische Lesart bezieht Stimmen des Globalen Südens mit ein und ist als Antwort auf die postkoloniale Kritik an der Hegemonie des Diskurses GCED zu verstehen, welche die Forderung der Dekolonialisierung des von den Vereinten Nationen festgelegten Bildungskonzepts stellt. Daraus ist für den Deutsch- und Literaturunterricht die Konsequenz einer Öffnung des klassisch-traditionell national gedachten Literaturkanons herzuleiten, wobei der Einsatz der Reportage als bislang wenig beachtetes Genre im Fach Deutsch bereits an sich eine Erweiterung darstellt. Anhand ausgewählter Reportagen zeigt die Arbeit, wie mit dem Genre-Lernen an Ziele eines GCED-orientierten Deutsch- und Literaturunterrichts – die Einführung in hybrides (vernetztes) Denken und das Verlernen eines hegemonialen Blicks – angeknüpft wird. Hierfür wird die Reportage als literarisch-journalistisches Genre, das durch das Spannungsfeld zwischen Fiktionalität und Faktualität gekennzeichnet ist, näher bestimmt. Im Umgang mit diesem wird in Abgrenzung zum radikalen Konstruktivismus der intersubjektiv überprüfbare Tatsachenbegriff als Ausgangspunkt festgelegt, der die Grundlage des Journalismus bildet und davon ausgeht, dass Vorgänge in der Welt zutreffend beschrieben, Informationen gesammelt und über dieselben Sachverhalte identisches Wissen angeeignet werden können. Dabei zeigt die Arbeit, wie der intersubjektiv überprüfbare Tatsachenbegriff und die Methode der Dekonstruktion zur Offenlegung verdeckter Macht- und Herrschaftsbeziehungen einander nicht ausschließen, sondern sinnvoll ergänzen.
Discrimination against Roma women in Romania. An intersectional perspective

Year: 2018

description: Still nowadays Roma communities in Romania experience social and spacial marginalization from the rest of the population. Numerous documents and reports underline how, as a consequence of the vicious cycle of poverty, discrimination and social exclusion in which they find themselves, they are in greater need of social protection. The article moves from the additional acknowledgment that Roma women’s voices and experiences of subordination and oppression are often overlooked. Too often the different overlapping discriminatory grounds are taken into account separately, without capturing the complexity of the identities and of the oppression they experience. While non identifying patriarchy as an issue having the power to define what Roma culture is, this work contributes to the analysis of the discrimination against Roma women in Romania from and intersectional perspective, taking into account the simultaneous action of ethnicity-based and gender-based discrimination. Moreover, this article demonstrates how intersectionality represents the most suitable analytical tool to tackle the specific situation of this group.

Keywords: Intersectionality, discrimination, Roma, women, Romania.

Bottlenecks in big data analytics and AI applications and opportunities for improvement

description: From shopping to social interaction, the related domains of big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) applications affect many aspects of our daily activities. Their success arises in part from their highly parallelizable compute, which allows them to process massive data sets in data centers, serve large numbers of users simultaneously, and perform almost innumerable simple calculations very quickly. Despite the success and ubiquity of big data analytics and AI, I show that the foundational principle of high performance in these paradigms—abundant and easily exploited parallel computation—has been pushed to the point where the limitations of parallel computing have come to dictate application performance. Using the industry benchmark TPCx-BB, I demonstrate that most of the compute is spent in code regions unable to fully utilize the available cores. In accordance with Amdahl’s law, overall performance is dictated by these less-parallel regions of compute. And in a data center deployment of an end-to-end AI application, the abundant parallelism of DNN inference is overshadowed by the non-parallel portions of the application pipeline: pre- and post-processing and inter-server communication. In a study of accelerated AI, I show that at a modest 8x compute speedup, performance improvement is completely halted by the limited storage bandwidth of just a handful of servers. Even within DNN inference itself, the demand for higher performance is pushing current hardware to its limits, to the point where DNN accuracy must sometimes be sacrificed for latency. To address the limitations at the boundaries of parallel computing in these domains, I propose solutions targeted to each domain. In big data analytics, I demonstrate that restricting big data software to a small subset of the available cores on each server can substantially improve performance and I propose a combined hardware/software solution called core packing that would extend these benefits (up to 20% latency reduction) to a wide range of big data applications. In data center AI applications, I demonstrate how an edge data center, carefully tailored to the specific behavior of accelerated AI applications, can accommodate up to 32x accelerated AI at 15% lower total cost of ownership than a comparable data center that does not tailor itself to the needs of the application. And within DNN inference, I show that an additional source of parallelism—between adjacent layers in the DNN graph—can be exploited to offer latency reductions up to 39%.

«Only the women must do all the housework».  Ruoli di genere e idealizzazione del modello di famiglia eteronormativa in Ucraina
Creators: name: Giorleo, Claudia
Publisher: name: AG About Gender - Rivista internazionale di studi di genere
Year: 2018

description: The primary focus of the paper is to give insight into intersections of gender, nation and economic relations in Ukraine. A central focus is on the social construction of women’s role into the Ukrainian society regarding the definition, idealization and reproduction of national heteronormativity. Discourses about gender’s role both in private and public sphere are highly sexualized and used by Ukrainian state to reinforce heteronormativity, thus, constraining individual’s political performances. Prostitution, migration and women’s participation into public sphere are topics that are examined alongside perceived threats to an idealized version of normative gender and sexuality, especially through the idea of the heteronationalism.

Keywords: heteronormativity; sexual citizenship; nationalism; family structure.

description: Realistic mathematical modeling of voice production has been recently boosted by applications to different fields like bioprosthetics, quality speech synthesis and pathological diagnosis. In this work, we revisit a two-mass model of the vocal folds that includes accurate fluid mechanics for the air passage through the folds and nonlinear properties of the tissue. We present the bifurcation diagram for such a system, focusing on the dynamical properties of two regimes of interest: the onset of oscillations and the normal phonation regime. We also show theoretical support to the nonlinear nature of the elastic properties of the folds tissue by comparing theoretical isofrequency curves with reported experimental data.

Donne, famiglia e biopolitica: Kuwait ed Arabia Saudita a confronto

Publisher: name: AG About Gender - Rivista internazionale di studi di genere
Year: 2018

description: The present article investigates the family in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia as the intermediary institution between the individual and the state, and as the site of reproduction of the social order through the control over the woman’s body. This control is operated by means of citizenship laws, restrictive interpretations of the sacred sources, and a body of laws modelled on sharia regulating public and private life. The role of the family is examined here with the theoretical contribution of Foucauldian biopolitics intended as the state’s political regulation of the biological element through power consolidation and preservation strategies. Women activists’ actions aiming at the reform of the guardianship system in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia will be critically examined in the context of the wider regional challenges and movements. The article also interrogates the role of women in the authoritarian nation-state, and how it is constructed at the intersection between the family, sexuality, reproduction and religion.

Keywords: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, woman’s body, state consolidation, biopolitics.

description: We describe an experiment dedicated to the study of the trajectories of a ball bouncing randomly on a vibrating plate. The system was originally used, considering a sinusoidal vibration, to illustrate period doubling and the route to chaos. Our experimental device makes it possible to impose, to the plate, arbitrary trajectories and not only sinusoidal or random, as is generally the case. We show that the entire trajectory of the ball can still be reconstructed from the measurement of the collisions times. First, we make use of the experimental system to introduce the notion of dissipative collisions and to propose three different ways to measure the associated restitution coefficient. Then, we report on correlations in the chaotic regime and discuss theoretically the complex pattern which they exhibit in the case of a sinusoidal vibration. At last, we show that the use of an aperiodic motion makes it possible to get rid of part of the correlations and to discuss theoretically the average energy of the ball in the chaotic regime.

Challenging the unthinkable: gay and lesbian parents between redefinition and exclusion in Italy

description: Despite the approval of the Cirinnà law and the on-going changes in public attitudes towards LGBT families and couples, the familial and parental project of gay men and lesbian women keep being “unthinkable” within the Italian socio-cultural landscape where the trope of nature is still a guiding ideal for the construction of both parental and kinship relationships. Drawing upon 29 qualitative interviews with gay men and lesbian women, we analyse how informants negotiate the persisting heteronormativity of the Italian context both in their intimate lives and in the encounter with the public sphere, by discussing the tensions between a process of redefinition of the traditional family and kinship roles within the family network and the persisting exclusion from the public sphere.

Keywords: same-sex parents, heteronormativity, family, kinship.

description: Obtaining accurate photometry of bright stars from the ground remains tricky because of the danger of overexposure of the target and/or lack of suitable nearby comparison star. The century-old method of the objective wire mesh used to produce multiple stellar images seems attractive for precision CCD photometry of such stars. Our tests on beta Cep and its comparison star differing by 5 magnitudes prove very encouraging. Using a CCD camera and a 20 cm telescope with objective covered with a plastic wire mesh, located in poor weather conditions we obtained differential photometry of precision 4.5 mmag per 2 min exposure. Our technique is flexible and may be tuned to cover as big magnitude range as 6 - 8 magnitudes. We discuss the possibility of installing a wire mesh directly in the filter wheel.

description: The approval of the same-sex marriage is one of the most progressive and egalitarian political measure in Argentina in the last decades. However, it had to overcome deeply grounded prejudices in the social imaginary, such as the supposed infidelity-promiscuity and affective instability that served as an excuse for deny this right. Thus, studying older longstanding couples, this article dismisses the stigmatizations of homosexual persons.

Following the theory of narrative identity, this work analyzes different manifestations of emotions between old men and old women and their vision through the years: love, desire, eroticism and their affective relationships in perspective. It also devels into the current situation of older gay men and lesbian women after the obtaining of this right. For this purpose, life stories and in-depth interviews as information gathering techniques were taken into consideration.

Keywords: narrative identity, older gay couples, equal marriage, love and erotism, family.

description: We present the results of our search for a dynamical family around the active asteroid P/2012F5 (Gibbs). By applying the hierarchical clustering method, we discover an extremely compact 9-body cluster associated with P/2012F5. The statistical significance of this newly discovered Gibbs cluster is estimated to be >99.9%, strongly suggesting that its members share a common origin. The cluster is located in a dynamically cold region of the outer main-belt at a proper semi-major axis of about 3.005 AU, and all members are found to be dynamically stable over very long time-scales. Backward numerical orbital integrations show that the age of the cluster is only 1.5 $\pm$ 0.1 Myr. Taxonomic classifications are unavailable for most of the cluster members, but SDSS spectrophotometry available for two cluster members indicate that both appear to be $Q$-type objects. We also estimate a lower limit of the size of the parent body to be about 10 km, and find that the impact event which produced the Gibbs cluster is intermediate between a cratering and a catastrophic collision. In addition, we search for new main-belt comets in the region of the Gibbs cluster by observing seven asteroids either belonging to the cluster, or being very close in the space of orbital proper elements. However, we do not detect any convincing evidence of the presence of a tail or coma in any our targets. Finally, we obtain optical images of P/2012F5, and find absolute R-band and V-band magnitudes of $H_R$ = 17.0 $\pm$ 0.1 mag and $H_V$ = 17.4 $\pm$ 0.1 mag, respectively, corresponding to an upper limit on the diameter of the P/2012F5 nucleus of about 2 km.

Quantum Mechanics Without State Vectors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is proposed to give up the description of physical states in terms of ensembles of state vectors with various probabilities, relying instead solely on the density matrix as the description of reality. With this definition of a physical state, even in entangled states nothing that is done in one isolated system can instantaneously effect the physical state of a distant isolated system. This change in the description of physical states opens up a large variety of new ways that the density matrix may transform under various symmetries, different from the unitary transformations of ordinary quantum mechanics. Such new transformation properties have been explored before, but so far only for the symmetry of time translations into the future, treated as a semi-group. Here new transformation properties are studied for general symmetry transformations forming groups, rather than semi-groups. Arguments are given that such symmetries should act on the density matrix as in ordinary quantum mechanics, but loopholes are found for all of these arguments.

description: We compute the spin asymmetry of the muon decay through O(alpha^2) in perturbative QED. These two-loop corrections are about a factor five (twenty) smaller than the current statistical (systematic) uncertainty of the most precise measurement, performed by the TWIST collaboration. We point out that at O(alpha^2) the asymmetry requires a careful definition due to multi-lepton final states and suggest to use familiar QCD techniques to define it in an infra-red safe way. We find that the TWIST measurement of the asymmetry is in excellent agreement with the Standard Model.

description: We report on the near-infrared matches, drawn from three surveys, to the 1640 unique X-ray sources detected by Chandra in the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS). This survey targets faint X-ray sources in the Bulge, with a particular focus on accreting compact objects. We present all viable counterpart candidates and associate a false alarm probability (FAP) to each near-infrared match in order to identify the most likely counterparts. The false alarm probability takes into account a statistical study involving a chance alignment test, as well as considering the positional accuracy of the individual X-ray sources. We find that although the star density in the Bulge is very high, ~90% of our sources have a false alarm probability < 10%, indicating that for most X-ray sources, viable near-infrared counterparts candidates can be identified. In addition to the FAP, we provide positional and photometric information for candidate counterparts to ~95% of the GBS X-ray sources. This information in combination with optical photometry, spectroscopy and variability constraints will be crucial to characterize and classify secure counterparts.

description: The physics of brown dwarfs has continuously improved since the discovery of these astrophysical bodies. The first important developments were devoted to the description of their mechanical structure, with the derivation of an appropriate equation of state, and the modelling of their atmosphere characterised by strong molecular absorption. New challenges are arising with progress in observational techniques which provide data of unprecedented accuracy. The goal of this chapter is to describe some of the current challenges for the theory of brown dwarfs. Those challenges concerns atmospheric dust and cloud, non-equilibrium atmospheric chemistry, the effect of rotation and magnetic fields on internal structure and the very early phases of evolution characterised by accretion processes. The field remains lively as more and more high quality observational data become available and because of increasing discoveries of exoplanets. Indeed, many physical properties of giant exoplanets can be described by the same theory as brown dwarfs, as described in this chapter.

description: Devices formed from single molecules attached to noble-metal electrodes exhibit large conductance fluctuations, which inhibit their development as reproducible functional units. We demonstrate that single molecules with planar anchor groups attached to carbon-based electrodes are more resilient to atomic-scale variation in the contacts and exhibit significantly lower conductance fluctuations. We examine the conductance of a 2,6-dibenzylamino core-substituted naphthalenediimide chromophore attached to carbon electrodes by either phenanthrene anchors or more extended anchor groups, which include oligophenylene ethynylene spacers. We demonstrate that for the more spatially extended anchor groups conductance fluctuations are significantly reduced. The current-voltage characteristic arising from long-range tunneling is found to be strongly nonlinear with pronounced conductance suppression below a threshold voltage of approximately 2.5 V.

description: We use the classical BPS soliton solutions of the BPS Skyrme model together with corrections from the collective coordinate quantization of spin and isospin, the electrostatic Coulomb energies, and a small explicit breaking of the isospin symmetry - accounting for the proton-neutron mass difference - to calculate nuclear binding energies. We find that the resulting binding energies are already in excellent agreement with their physical values for heavier nuclei, demonstrating thereby that the BPS Skyrme model is a distinguished starting point for a detailed quantitative investigation of nuclear and low-energy strong interaction physics.

title: Die Entwicklung des Sprachstands nach der Digitalisierung in der Fachsprache Biologie in heterogenen Klassen einer Sekundaria I
Creators: name: Adlaßnig, Caroline
Year: 2023

description: In Österreich wurden Schülerinnen und Schüler der Sekundaria I, der fünften, sechsten und siebenten Schulstufe im Dezember des Schuljahres 2022/23 mit digitalen Endgeräten ausgestattet. Die Auswirkungen des digital unterstützten Arbeitens auf den Sprachstand der heterogenen Klassen werden qualitativ innerhalb einer niederösterreichischen Mittelschule erforscht. Die sprachliche Entwicklung der Kinder wird mittels Sprachstandserhebung anhand von Texten aus biologischen Schulbüchern mithilfe von C-Tests im Abstand von drei Monaten festgehalten, verglichen und ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse der Sprachstandserhebungen weisen auf eine Verminderung der sprachlichen Leistungen in der Gesamtheit der heterogenen Klassen hin. Es sind Unterschiede zwischen den Kindern der verschiedenen Schulstufen zu erkennen. Während die Schülerinnen und Schüler der fünften Schulstufe sprachliche Fortschritte erreichen, fallen die sprachlichen Leistungen der Lernenden der sechsten und siebenten Schulstufe ab.

description: Context: Our understanding of the s-process nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars is incomplete. AGB models predict, for example, large overabundances of lead (Pb) compared to other s-process elements in metal-poor low-mass AGB stars. This is indeed observed in some extrinsically enhanced metal-poor stars, but not in all. An extensive study of intrinsically s-process enriched objects is essential for improving our knowledge of the AGB third dredge-up and associated s-process nucleosynthesis. Aims: We compare the spectral abundance analysis of the SMC post-AGB star J004441.04-732136.4 with state-of-the-art AGB model predictions with a main focus on Pb. The low S/N in the Pb line region made the result of our previous study inconclusive. We acquired additional data covering the region of the strongest Pb line. Methods: By carefully complementing re-reduced previous data, with newly acquired UVES optical spectra, we improve the S/N of the spectrum around the strongest Pb line. Therefore, an upper limit for the Pb abundance is estimated from a merged weighted mean spectrum using synthetic spectral modeling. We then compare the abundance results from the combined spectra to predictions of tailored AGB evolutionary models from two independent evolution codes. In addition, we determine upper limits for Pb abundances for three previously studied LMC post-AGB objects. Results: Although theoretical predictions for J004441.04-732136.4 match the s-process distribution up to tungsten (W), the predicted very high Pb abundance is clearly not detected. The three additional LMC post-AGB stars show a similar lack of a very high Pb abundance. Conclusion: From our study, we conclude that none of these low-mass, low-metallicity post-AGB stars of the LMC and SMC are strong Pb producers. This conflicts with current theoretical predictions.

description: Hildegard von Bingen zählt zu den wirkungsvollsten und anerkanntesten Frauen des Mittelalters. Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es zu untersuchen, welchen Einfluss Hildegard von Bingen bereits zu Lebzeiten auf die geistlichen Institutionen und die Gesellschaft ausgeübt hat und inwiefern ihre beeindruckende Persönlichkeit sowie ihr Wirken und Schaffen auch noch für die Gegenwart von Bedeutung sind. Dazu werden folgende Forschungsfragen gestellt: Warum kann Hildegard von Bingen als eine der einflussreichsten Frauen des Mittelalters bezeichnet werden? Inwiefern lässt sich die Persönlichkeit der Hildegard von Bingen anhand ihrer Briefe beschreiben? Welchen Einfluss üben die Schriften und Praktiken der Hildegard von Bingen auf die Gegenwart aus? Um diese Fragestellungen zu beantworten, wird die explizierende Inhaltsanalyse als Methode herangezogen. Anhand dieser werden die Briefe von und an Hildegard von Bingen, welche die Primärquelle dieser Arbeit darstellen, analysiert und mithilfe der Sekundärliteratur in den Forschungsprozess eingeordnet. Hildegard von Bingen kam als Kind adeliger und gläubiger Eltern schon von Kindesalter an immer wieder mit dem christlichen Glauben in Verbindung. Im Zuge ihres Lebens entwickelte sie sich zu einer selbstbewussten, eigenständigen Frau, die im Alter von 38 Jahren die Leitung eines Klosters übernahm und in späterer folge zwei weitere Nonnenklöster gründete. Über die Jahre hinweg verfasste Hildegard von Bingen zudem zahlreiche Schriften, absolvierte mehrere Predigtreisen durch die einflussreichsten Städte, um gehört und gesehen zu werden, und versuchte ihren Mitmenschen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite zu stehen. Sie erreichten daher auch zahlreiche Briefe, in welchen sich vor allem verzweifelte Personen an sie wandten, um Hilfestellungen in aussichtslosen Situationen zu erhalten. Aus den Briefen geht hervor, dass Hildegard von Bingen eine sehr empathische und entschlossene Person war, die sich als Sprachrohr Gottes verstand und ihre göttlichen Erfahrungen und mystischen Visionen mit der Geistlichkeit, den weltlichen Herrschern und den einfachen Leuten teilen wollte. Aufgrund ihrer außergewöhnlichen Begabung wird die Äbtissin heute noch anerkannt. So wurde sie bis zu ihrem Tode geschätzt und demzufolge vor einigen Jahren sogar heiliggesprochen und zur Kirchenlehrerin erklärt.
title: Neue Emanzipationsformen der Klimabewegung
Creators: name: Angioni, Jessica
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht, mithilfe einer Sekundäranalyse leitfadengestützter Interviews, die Aneignung neuer Emanzipationsformen in der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung. Die bereits vorhandenen Interviewdaten werden bezüglich der Dimensionen der Emanzipation erneut untersucht und hinsichtlich der Fragestellung Wie äußern sich neue Formen der Emanzipation in der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung? bearbeitet. Der Wandel der Klimabewegung zu einer Bewegung, die insbesondere die Gerechtigkeitsaspekte in den Fokus nimmt und dabei Klimagerechtigkeit als stetige Konstante sieht, hat ebenso neue Formen der Emanzipation angenommen. In der emanzipatorischen Praxis sind demnach die Doppelrollen der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung besonders deutlich geworden. Das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen der Rolle als Verursachende*r und Betroffene*r ist in der Konzeption der Emanzipation zentral. Dort wo in anderen sozialen Bewegungen Emanzipation als Ausbruch aus Unterdrückung und Ausbeutung verstanden wird, zeigt sich in der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung die Unterdrückung und Ausbeutung bei den Aktivist*innen selbst, die auf globaler Perspektive die Folgen des Klimawandels externalisieren. In der Konsequenz zeigt die Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung eine Anpassung der Formen der Emanzipation, die in dem Verständnis der Bewegung beitragen.
description: This master's thesis investigates the appropriation of new forms of emancipation in the climate justice movement with the help of a secondary analysis of guided interviews. The already existing interview data was re-examined with regard to the dimensions of emancipation and processed with regard to the question "How are new forms of emancipation expressed in the climate justice movement?". The transformation of the climate movement into a movement that focuses in particular on justice aspects and sees climate justice as a constant has also taken on new forms of emancipation. In emancipatory practice, the dual roles of the climate justice movement have thus become particularly clear. The tension between the roles of the causing and the affected is central to the concept of emancipation. Whereas in other social movements emancipation is understood as breaking out of oppression and exploitation, in the climate justice movement the oppression and exploitation is seen in the activists themselves, who externalize the consequences of climate change from a global perspective. As a consequence, the climate justice movement shows an adaptation of the forms of emancipation that contributes to the understanding of the movement.

description: Die Einführung des Begriffs ‚Anthropozän‘ ist umstritten, aber gemäß der Wissenschaft notwendig, um den wachsende Einfluss der Menschheit auf den Planeten Erde zu beschreiben. Hinsichtlich der Klimakrise steht ‚der Mensch‘ im Anthropozän als Ressourcennutzer der Erde in der Kritik. Doch sind Populationswachstum, neue Technologien und wirtschaftlicher Aufschwung nicht allein dafür verantwortlich, dass sich der Mensch mittlerweile zu einer geologischen Kraft entwickelt hat. Die Vorstellung von der Trennung von Natur und Kultur und (neo-)koloniale Praktiken spielen hierbei eine fundamentale Rolle. In dieser Arbeit wird der Versuch angestellt mit der Kunstausstellung Unearthed der nigerianischen Künstlerin Otobong Nkanga im Kunsthaus Bregenz ‚dem Anthropozän’ auf den Grund zu gehen. Nkangas Gesamtwerk ist davon geprägt, die Verbindungen von Menschen, Erde, Klimawandel und der Geschichte aufzuzeigen und verfolgt dies in der Ausstellung Unearthed weiter. Es wird eine künstlerische Perspektive eröffnet, die das menschliche ‚Wir‘ und damit die Verantwortung im Anthropozän hinterfragt. Sobald der Erdboden nicht mehr allein als Lebensgrundlage für den Menschen betrachtet wird - als passiver und jeder Zeit verfügbarer Rohstoff, kann man seine tiefenzeitlichen Relationen erkennen. Dafür zeigt uns Nkanga den Öffnungsprozess der Erde durch Extraktionen; man dringt in ihre komplexen Schichten vor, um zu spüren, dass man von einer schnell verändernden Welt betroffen ist und dass es dennoch einen Möglichkeitsraum gibt, in dem menschliche und nicht-menschliche Kräfte sich verbinden. Diese stellen uns vor die Herausforderung, den Menschen als Konzept in Frage zu stellen und zu imaginieren, was der Mensch sein kann und möglicherweise schon immer war.
