“Una storia di paesaggio”. Viaggio e visione in Orizzonte mobile di Daniele Del Giudice
Creators: name: Marfè, Luigi
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2023

description: Daniele Del Giudice’s Orizzonte mobile (2009) is a “hyper-expedition” that includes the account of his journey through Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and Antartica, a rewriting of excerpts from the accounts of two expeditions in the late 19th century, and the author’s invention of a further journey, which he never made. The essay examines the hybrid elements of this narrative form, which sways between fiction and nonfiction, linking the spatial pursuit of the “movable horizon” with a turn back in time, aimed at breaking the usual perception of temporality. Orizzonte mobile is a “landscape tale” that interweaves travel and writing to define an original poetics of space.

Figurations of Evil in Contemporary Puppet Theatre Dramaturgy
Creators: name: Di Fazio, Francesca
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: Puppets’ fictitious nature allows them to figure raw themes in all their concreteness on stage. In a close alternation of tragic and comic tones, contemporary puppet theatre faces the darkest fantasies appealing to traditional techniques and post-dramatic staging. Four different plays from the second half of the twentieth century and the early 2000s of the French and Italian repertoires reveal how the scenic space of the puppet booth may become a landscape inhabited by obscure figures. Ceronetti’s La iena di San Giorgio creates a modern anti-hero out of an old popular gory legend. In Brunello’s and Molnár’s Macbeth all’improvviso, glove puppets abandon comedy to collapse into a tragic situation with no escape. In La Chpocalypse, Lépinois employs the character’s typical routines to draw on the page a macabre dance. In Jerk, Cooper, Vienne, and Capdevielle concert their skills as authors, directors, and performers to stage a text that spellbinds a heinous story. Moreover, the plays analysed provide several examples of how the use of puppets activates dramaturgical processes that impact the text’s mechanism, creating a link between the writing and its staging. Keywords: puppet theatre dramaturgy; figure theatre; contemporary dramaturgy; playwriting; repertoire

Journey into Hell: a Tour through Puppetry
Creators: name: Cecconi, Francesca
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: One of the most frequent topics in puppet theatre is the representation of the close relationship between the earthly and the otherworldly dimensions, often dealing with narratives that refer to crossing the boundaries between human and non-human, between life and death. Many puppetry techniques deal with this theme: from carnal puppets to visceral guarattelle, from shadows to robots. The aim of this essay is to analyse some of the puppet theatre techniques that have dealt with the theme of the journey to hell in order to trace a path that investigates assonances and divergences. The study starts with an analysis of Pirù, demoni e denari by the Walter Broggini Company. The show is inspired by the famous story of Orpheus and Eurydice but becomes humorous through the use of glove puppets. The analysis continues through an example of shadow theatre, El Gran Baile by the company Cosmonautas Teatro de Sombras, where the main theme is the reunion of the living and the dead, then discusses the show Inferno by Louis-Philippe Demers and Bill Vorn, in which the audience is asked to perform, wearing teleguided exoskeletons. Man, the puppeteer par excellence, is finally manoeuvred by the inanimate, in this case, robot machines in a real Inferno where everyone becomes an unwitting victim.

description: Efforts to ‘save’ the Dead Sea have been globalised through the Red Sea-Dead Sea Canal feasibility study process facilitated by the World Bank. In claiming a ‘peace dividend’ as one ‘intangible benefit’ of programme development and problem solving, the canal initiative has established the relevance of peace discourse as a basis for critiquing the process. This article critically examines phase one of the feasibility study process and its implications for regional peacebuilding in the light of a claimed ‘peace dividend’, assessing the practices of regional integration, knowledge construction and stakeholder participation.1

Sinarachna tropica (Morley 1912): Townes & Townes 1973
Current combination. Zatypota tropica (Morley 1912) (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) new combination.
Material examined. Polysphincta bohemani var. tropicus Morley 1912 ♀ lectotype, designated by Townes & Townes 1973, NHMUK, Seychelles.
Comments. Morley (1912) described ‘ var. tropicus ’ on the basis of a female and two males from ‘the marshy plateaux at Mare aux Cochons and elsewhere on Silhouette in August, 1908, and at an altitude of over eight hundred feet at the Cascade Estate on Mahé about four months later.’ The male paralectotypes cannot be found now. The female lectotype of Polysphincta bohemani var. tropicus Morley 1912 is a species of Zatypota Förster, not Sinarachna Townes as placed by Townes & Townes (1973). The mesoscutum is setose all over and there is a faint indication of a hind wing nervellus, probably explaining their transfer to Sinarachna, but the occipital carina is complete (dorsally incomplete in Sinarachna). The specimen is on long-term loan and I am unable to illustrate it.

title: "..., denn sie wissen nicht, was sie tun" - natürliches Bewusstsein und philosophische Erkenntnis in Hegels Dialektik
Creators: name: Miller, Noëlle
Year: 2018

description: Wenn das Verhältnis von natürlichem Bewusstsein und wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis behandelt wird, dann fragen wir implizit nach der klassisch skeptischen Frage, wie ein adäquates Wissen von der Welt möglich ist: durch unmittelbaren Gegenstandsbezug oder einer Wissenschaft, die uns dieses Wissen von der Unmittelbarkeit erst vermittelt? In der „sinnlichen Gewissheit“ versucht das natürliche Bewusstsein die Welt durch Anschauung, Fühlen, Zeigen, also in der direkten sinnlichen Wechselwirkung mit der Wirklichkeit, zu erkennen. Nun wird uns Hegel zeigen, dass wir wohl die Wirklichkeit unmittelbar zu sehen haben, allerdings nach dem Nachvollzug einer begrifflichen Auseinandersetzung. Anders ausgedrückt: wir sind immer schon zu nahe an den wirklichen Dingen, um sie direkt zu begreifen, wie sie an und für sich sind. Der Geist stößt sich an die Härte der Dinge und wird so genötigt umzukehren und sich weiter zu entwickeln. Ziel ist es aber gerade nicht, sich den Kopf zu zerbrechen, sondern sich zu einer Geläufigkeit und Natürlichkeit emporzuarbeiten, das heißt, ein philosophisches Bewusstsein zu erreichen, das zur zweiten Natur geworden sein wird. So versöhnen sich natürliches Bewusstsein und philosophische Erkenntnis wieder. Deswegen ist der Satz "sie wissen nicht was sie tun", nicht nur eine Tatsache in der Erfahrung (wir verhalten uns spontan und lebendig, also natürlich), sondern auch das letzte Ziel. Die Reflexionspraxis hat ein Ende, ist aber auch der Neubeginn eines neuen und unbefangenen, d. h. freieren Umgangs mit und in der Welt. Die hegelsche Philosophie entfaltet diese Unmittelbarkeit, zerschneidet gleichsam die Realität und macht sie, wie wir finden, zu einer reicheren, gehaltvolleren und bunteren. Die aufgehobene Unmittelbarkeit ist nicht die reine Unmittelbarkeit, aber sie bleibt doch eine. Wenn wir nachvollziehen, wie das natürliche Bewusstsein seine eigenen Voraussetzungen setzt, wird die Unmittelbarkeit auch nicht mehr als etwas selbstverständlich Gegebenes hingenommen. Das Leben wird als das, was es ist und auch nicht ist, ermessen und durch die philosophische Auseinandersetzung um Potenzen lebendiger: Die hegelsche Philosophie entfaltet letztendlich eine Tiefe für diejenigen, die sie gerne sehen wollen.

title: Spezifikation von Sicherheitsanforderungen durch ViewPoint Integration
Creators: name: Kabiljagic, Fata
Year: 2018

description: Die Entwicklung von großen Systemen erfordert kooperative Arbeitsprozesse, die sehr komplex sind. Diese Prozesse sind mit vielen Menschen, die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und Vorstellungen haben, verbunden und beinhalten viele Aktivitäten und Produkte, als Ergebnis dieser Aktivitäten. Die kooperativen Arbeitsprozesse können durch die Entwicklung von Modellen, die diese Prozesse abbilden können und durch Software-Tools unterstützt werden. Die Anforderungsanalyse ist ein Teil jedes Entwicklungsprozesses. Da die heutigen Systeme viele Schwachstellen haben können und vielen Bedrohungen ausgesetzt sind, sollte bei einer Anforderungsanalyse nicht nur die Funktionalität, sondern auch die Sicherheit berücksichtigt werden. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich im theoretischen Teil mit der Analyse der Sicherheitsanforderungen (Schutzzielen, Sicherheitsmechanismen, einigen Security Requirements Methoden…), der ViewPoint-Integration (einigen Modellen, die die verschiedenen Sichten der Beteiligten spezifizieren, analysieren und verwalten) und mit den kooperativen Technologien. Weiters wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit eine Modellierungsmethode, die den Prozess der Spezifikation der Sicherheitsanforderungen unterstützen sollte, entwickelt und beschrieben. Die Modellierungsmethode basiert auf dem Metamodell für kooperative Prozesse von Selmin Nurcan und Collete Rolland. Anschließend wird eine Fallstudie vorgestellt, die zur Evaluierung dieser Modellierungsmethode dient.

Death, the Devil and the Wife: Danse Macabre Motifs in Nineteenth-Century Puppetry, from Punch to Kasperl
Creators: name: Boutan, Jean
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: In the wake of Romanticism, during the first half of the nineteenth century, the late medieval motif of the danse macabre was rediscovered in the knockabout scenes between comic figures of hand-puppet theatre and personifications of Death and Evil. The Punch and Judy shows in England, Carl Reinhardt’s Kasperltheater in Germany, as well as the first printed Jan Klaassen plays in the Netherland, show how puppet repertoire drew on the grotesques of the danse macabre to refashion Hans Holbein’s representation of an individual, everyday life struggle with death. The adaptation of the motif to the domestic context of the petty bourgeoisie leads to the addition in puppet theatre of a third character, more terrible than Death and the Devil, namely the hero’s wife. Keywords: hand-puppetry; Romanticism; satire; hybrid genres; England; Germany; the Netherlands

Stephen Orgel, Wit’s Treasury: Renaissance England and the Classics
Creators: name: Innocenti, Loretta
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: Stephen Orgel’s book examines how during the Renaissance the English culture tried to mould a new literary and artistic language into becoming “classical”, in the sense of civilized, elegant, and refined. The model for artistic advancement was found in ancient Latin and Greek texts, which were revived and translated into vernacular. So were some continental authors as well, especially Petrarch, whose sonnets were imitated and transformed. By adapting, and revising, the classics, English poets and dramatists were able to leave behind their native medieval tradition, through renewing rhythms and prosody, introducing new genres, and discovering unprecedented themes. Besides the influence of ancient authors on literature and the arts, classical thought also modified manners and morals, resulting in an unstable but constant relationship between Christian doctrine and Humanistic secular principles. The original common thread in the text is provided by Orgel’s considerable expertise in the history of the book, which enriches his analysis of new Renaissance printing methods, illustrations, as well as of the importance of different publications, not only for literature but even more so for the relationship between theatrical productions and printed drama.

description: Do our collective unconscious memories of folk traditions, ritual, and pre- and early Christian use of puppetry influence responses to puppetry today? What is an uncanny response to puppetry? Historically, many societies have at times deemed puppetry to be foolish or even illegal: it was dismissed by the Christian suppression of Paganism, and later through the banning of idolatry, and since the Enlightenment period through the mockery of indigenous folk traditions. From the “ensouling” (Nielson 2001, 33), of statues in a sacred grotto to the grotesquery of the uncanny brought to life through puppetry, and onto political protest through animation of effigy and statue, this article will explore links between folklore and puppets.

description: Third parties have appeared with startling frequency on the American political scene. Stimulated in large part by economic, political, or social discontent, they have often been able to compete favorably with older parties for mass support in local and national elections. Through their electoral and educational efforts, new party movements have repeatedly made estimable contributions to the formulation and administration of public policy.

description: Two independent observations lead to the attempted conversion of tomatidine into sapogenin. E.H. White of Yale University has reported on the thermal deamination of aliphatic amines (1). This method had been adapted to the steroidal alkaloids by Sato and Latham (2), in which the reduction leads to the opening of the F ring and the formation of an H-H group which is capable of being nitrosated.

title: "Mannsbilder 3.0" - Männlichkeitskonstruktionen in aktuellen Werbebildern 2015-2017
Creators: name: Pachler, Elisabeth
Year: 2018

description: Darstellungen der Geschlechterarrangements in der Werbung sind eigentlich ganz gut beforscht. Es ist aber von Zeit zu Zeit dennoch angebracht, die Mannsbilder aufs Neue wieder mal genauer zu betrachten. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Inszenierung des Männlichen im heutigen Werbebild. Es ist spannend, überraschend, langweilig und gewöhnlich, wie sich die Werbung mit Typisierungen und Typen neu zu erfinden sucht. Das Vorhandensein mehrerer, aktueller Männlichkeitskonstruktionen resultiert aus den Entwicklungen der Geschlechterrollen im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte, nicht ganz unabhängig vom Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Frau. Die durch die Emanzipation entfachte Auseinandersetzung mit bestehenden Geschlechterarrangements hat auch Einfluss auf die Art und Weise, wie Männer im Werbebild dargestellt werden. Der empirische Teil beinhaltet eine qualitative Bildanalyse ausgewählter Prototypen vom Bilde des Mannes in der Werbung. Diese Werbesujets sind in vier Kategorien unterteilt, die hinsichtlich bestimmter Eigenschaftsausprägungen präzise voneinander abgegrenzt werden. Die Bild-Text-Analyse wurde nach Müller-Doohm (1993; 1997) erarbeitet, die eine genaue Betrachtung des männlichen Rollenbildes des Mannes erlaubt. Der Theorieteil spannt einen Bogen von feministischer Kommunikationsforschung hin zu Männerforschung und unterschiedlichen Theorien zur Männlichkeit. Das Bild als Untersuchungsobjekt leitet die Bildanalyse innerhalb der Publizistik- und Kommunikationswissenschaften für den empirischen Teil ein und behandelt im Anschluss daran die vorgenommene Kategorisierung der Prototypen en detail. Die Analyse beinhaltet zehn Werbesujets aus dem Zeitraum zwischen 2015 und 2017, die einen Fokus auf das Männliche haben. Die Erkenntnisse dürften für ALLE Geschlechter durchaus anregend und unterhaltsam sein.
title: Kultur als Differenzmerkmal für Geschlechterrollen in Kinderwerbung
Creators: name: Maibach, Darja
Year: 2018

description: Ziel der Arbeit ist es, Werbung während des Fernsehkinderprogrammes auf vermittelte Geschlechterrollen und -stereotype zu untersuchen. Es soll gezeigt werden, ob Werbung in der Gesellschaft bestehende Geschlechterstereotype bestärkt oder diese durch alternative Rollenverteilungen und Eigenschaften mindert. Da davon ausgegangen wird, dass sich Werbung kulturell unterscheidet, werden Deutschland und Russland diesbezüglich verglichen. Als Methode wurde die qualitative Inhaltsanalyse gewählt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass deutsche und russische Werbespots, welche ein Geschlecht ansprechen, mehr Klischees aufweisen, als solche, deren Zielgruppe beide Geschlechter beinhaltet. In deutscher Werbung sind Fahrzeuge und Videospiele Jungenspielzeuge und Puppen und Puppenhäuser Mädchenspielzeug. Jungen sind in deutschen Werbespots in dominanten Positionen oder stellen ihre Männlichkeit, Coolness und Stärke unter Beweis. Das russische Jungenbild ist sanfter und ruhiger. Bei deutschen mädchenspezifischen Werbespots sind ansatzweise die Hausfrauen- und Mutterrolle sowie das Thema Schönheit erkennbar. In russischer Kinderwerbung sind Fahrzeuge Jungenspielzeugen, Puppen, Accessoires und Pflege-/Schönheitsprodukte sind für Mädchen gedacht. Es wird zudem mehr Wert auf das Äußere der Mädchen und weniger Wert auf die Mutter- und Hausfrauenrolle gelegt. In an beide Geschlechter gerichteten Werbespots werden Mädchen und Jungen gleichwertig mit gemeinsamen Interessen und Tätigkeiten dargestellt. Laut der Untersuchung werden keine alternativen Geschlechterkonstruktionen in Kinderwerbung geboten. Werbung wird häufig als Spiegel einer Gesellschaft bezeichnet und durch die Werbespotanalyse wurde das in einigen Punkten bestärkt. Sowohl in russischer als auch deutscher Kinderwerbung fanden sich Übereinstimmungen zu kulturellen Werten und Vorstellungen.
title: Die Erstellung von Geländereliefs im Wandel der Zeit - Entwicklung, Anwendung und Perspektiven
Creators: name: Biedermann, Katharina
Year: 2018

description: Das Thema dieser Arbeit sind Geländereliefs. Da sich die Kartographie nicht nur der klassischen Karte widmet und es eine Vielzahl an kartenverwandten Ausdrucksformen gibt, aber nur eine, die eine echte dreidimensionale Abbildung von Teilen der Erdoberfläche erlaubt, nämlich das Geländerelief, wird versucht dieses Thema von den verschiedensten Gesichtspunkten her zu beleuchten. Zu Beginn der Arbeit wird auf die Entwicklung im Reliefbau eingegangen, der seine Wurzeln bereits im 16. Jahrhundert hat und sich seither stets weiterentwickelt hat. Die historische Entwicklung wird anhand von einzelnen herausragenden Reliefbauern erläutert. Einige nutzten die selben Herstellungsverfahren für ihre Modelle, andere entwickelten ihre komplett eigene Technik. Der Herstellungsprozess ist aber stets eng mit den verfügbaren Geodaten und dem technischen Fortschritt der jeweiligen Epoche verbunden. Daher wird den für den Reliefbau relevanten Geodaten ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet, in dem auch die verschiedenen Aufnahmeverfahren beleuchtet werden. Diese Ausgangsdaten werden dann zu Geländemodellen weiterverarbeitet bzw. veredelt. Hier bietet sich eine Vielzahl an Verfahren an. Von der anfänglichen freien Modellierung, die etwas ungenau ist, über die Modellierung mittels Höhenlinien, die bis heute noch Anwendung findet, bis hin zu den aktuellen computergestützten bzw. Rapid Prototyping Verfahren. Diese und alle weiteren Herstellungstechniken werden in historischer Reihenfolge erläutert. Im Anschluss daran werden beispielhaft ausgewählte Reliefmodelle, die mittels verschiedener Techniken und Ausgangsdaten gefertigt wurden, analysiert. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, das aktuell am besten geeignetste Verfahren für die Erstellung von großmaßstäbigen Geländereliefs im Alpinen Raum zu finden.
title: Entwicklung der Skala relatedness des IMI zur Bestimmung der intrinsischen Motivation von SchülerInnen
Creators: name: Pieler, Julia
Year: 2018

description: Im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt es nur wenige Instrumente, welche die Motivation von Schülerinnen und Schülern messen können. Diejenigen, die es gibt, sind meist sehr spezifisch. Ein gutes Instrument zur Evaluierung der Motivation stellt das Intrinsic Motivation Inventory dar, welches von Deci und Ryan entwickelt wurde und aus sieben Skalen besteht. Es ist in englischer Sprache verfasst und somit schwer anwendbar im deutschsprachigen Unterricht. Der erste Versuch das IMI ins Deutsche zu übersetzen wurde von Korner (2015) im Rahmen ihrer CAPT-Studie unternommen, wobei sie mithilfe des Four Builiding Blocks Approach von Wilson die Skala effort/importance neu erstellte. Diese Vorgehensweise erwies sich als nützlich und lieferte gute Ergebnisse. Klingenböck (2016) entwickelte die Skala interest/enjoyment neu und Schmidt (2017) die Skalen value/usefulness, perceived choice, perceived competence. In dieser Arbeit wurde die letzte verbleibende Skala, relatedness, neu entwickelt, welche an Schülerinnen und Schülern der siebten und achten Schulstufe getestet wurde. Die Skala relatedness ist trennscharf und die Items laden hoch auf die Skala, generell wurden vielversprechende Ergebnisse erhalten. Weiters bietet die Vollversion des Fragebogens Lehrkräften die Möglichkeit sich ein schnelles Feedback über das Klassenklima und die sozialen Interaktionen in der Klasse einzuholen. In künftigen Arbeiten können die Skalen zusammen getestet und verbessert werden, um letztendlich ein Instrument zur Evaluierung der Motivation von Schülerinnen und Schülern zu erhalten.
description: In the German-speaking area there are only a few instruments that evaluate the motivation of students. This diploma thesis contributes to the development of such an instrument by developing a new relatedness scale of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. The scale effort/importance has been developed by Korner (2014), interest/enjoyment by Klingenböck (2016) and the scales value/usefulness, perceived choice, perceived competence by Schmidt (2017). Korner began her work on the IMI because there was no satisfying instrument in German to evaluate motivation. For her purposes she used the Four Building Blocks Approach from Wilson (2005) and successfully created the new scale effort/importance. The further scales have been developed with the same methods and proved to be stable and selective. In order to develop items for the relatedness scale Wilson’s approach was used in this thesis as well. The items were then tested amongst seventh- and eighth-graders. With the results of an exploratory factor analysis ten items with the highest loadings onto the scale where chosen. The new developed scale has proven to be selective, in general good results were obtained. Future research can focus on combining the present scales in order to finally create a questionnaire which evaluates the motivation of students.
