The aesthetics of solo bagpipe music at the Glengarry Highland Games.
Creators: name: Loten, Sarah.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Anthropology, Cultural.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the aesthetics of solo bagpipe music at the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ontario, in order to understand how people perceive and receive their world. My ethnography of aesthetics of solo bagpipe music has involved a selected group of musicians that has participated in the piobaireachd and ceol beag contests at these games. Piobaireachd is the classical tradition of the Great Highland bagpipe, and ceol beag is the "light" music which consists of dance songs or marches. The first chapter explores the "arrangements" of power in this community. By "arrangements" of power, I refer to the informal understandings between people about the hierarchies, prestige and power in bagpipe activities of their community. The second chapter examines the various traditions in the aesthetics of solo piping. I problematize the notion of "tradition" by examining it as a human construction that is continuously reinterpreted as it is passed down from generation to generation. The third chapter explores the local knowledge of some of the pipers taking part in the competitions. By "local knowledge", I mean the body of knowledge that is formed collectively, over time, and comes to represent the main ideas and expectations the pipers have about their music. Since Maxville, with the Glengarry Highland Games, is considered, according to the pipers, to be the "spiritual center" of piping, this choice of location has been ideal for understanding sound structures, behaviours, practices, and attitudes that are inherent in this cultural activity.
'Paternity fraud' and the invisible child

description: This article analysed Australian newspaper coverage of the Magill v Magill case, a landmark legal case in which a man sued his wife for 'paternity deceit'. Using results from a thematic analysis of newspaper reporting of the Magill v Magill case from 2002-2006, it investigates the way the story has been framed in Australian newspapers as 'paternity fraud' and what that means for how DNA paternity testing is understood and used. The article then compares the findings with a later magazine report of interviews with the Magill children. The results show that, while the father and child's relationship was central to the DNA paternity test itself, the way the story was framed as a gender contest between adults was so powerful that children and their interests became invisible.

description: Il lavoro presenta una serie di superfici che possono particolarmente interessare per le loro caratteristiche matematiche ed estetiche: soprattutto per la loro geometria facilmente visualizzabile, che ha suggerito di chiamarle “superfici costruibili”. Questa “facilità” di costruzione ha fatto sì che molte delle superfici oggetto di questo lavoro siano state utilizzate come modelli per edifici, parti di edifici, oggetti e opere d’arte, soprattutto negli ultimi anni, da quando cioè, con l’evoluzione della tecnologia, si è in grado di progettare e costruire forme prima impossibili. In effetti, ciò che interessa maggiormente nelle superfici considerate, non è tanto che siano un esempio di come la matematica possa “costruire” oggetti dalle proprietà estetiche affascinanti e sorprendenti, ma che si siano potute realizzare proprio per il fatto che nella progettazione sono state utilizzate le loro proprietà matematiche, che hanno reso possibile per esempio la semplificazione dei metodi costruttivi o la riduzione dei costi: gli stessi motivi per i quali molte di queste forme sono presenti in natura come si illustra in queste pagine.

description: The reaction of YbI2(THF)2 with diphenylmethyldipyrrolide leads to a complex reaction from which is obtained an octameric divalent Yb macrocycle (Diphenyldipyrromethanedi-yl-Yb)8 2.1 as a major product, but from which is also isolated a tetrameric cyclic Yb(II)-oxo complex [(diphenyldipyrrolyl-methanedi-yl)Yb]4[(K2)(THF) 6](mu-O)•2(THF) 2.2•2(THF) and a monomeric Yb(III) complex, Yb(diphenyldipyrrolylmethane-di-yl)3(K 3THF3) 2.3, as minor products. Complex 2.1 is analogous to the Sm(II) dipyrrolide octameric clusters obtained under an argon atmosphere, which are thought to represent the intermediate species in the formation of dinitrogen complexes. The reactions of SmI2(THF)2 and YbI2(THF) 2 with the alkali salts of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole, or the reaction of SMCl 3(THF)3 and YbCl3(TBF)3 with the same ligands followed by reduction with the appropriate alkali metals, led to the formation of divalent mono- and polynuclear complexes.

The class PSPACEcc was defined via alternating protocols with O(log n) many alternations. We consider the class BP · ÅPcc of Toda’s Theorem and show that every language in this class can be decided with alternating protocols using O(log n/ log log n) many alternations. The proof is based on a new alternating protocol for the inner product function IP with O(log n/ log log n) many alternations.

description: The group of contaminants known as PFAS is becoming an increasingly important factor to consider in the evaluation of contaminated sites. After several guidelines and methodological approaches for the investigation, assessment, and evaluation of PFAS contaminant impacts have been developed in Germany, nationwide coordinated guidelines providing management tools for the remediation of local and wide-spread PFAS contaminant impacts remain to be established, including standardized specifications for the three phases of investigation: the orienting investigation, detailed investigation, and re-mediation options appraisal. This document, which has been prepared as a type of work-aid or guideline for German authorities within the context of a research project, aims to provide support to German regulative authorities in the selection, evaluation, and determination of appropriate and fitting remedial solutions for localized and wide-spread cases of PFAS contamination. While highlighting relevant boundary conditions and if necessary, any supplementary measures to consider in the analysis, this guideline shall serve as a basis for overall management of PFAS contaminant impacts. Due to the varying properties of the individual PFAS constituent compounds, any evaluation of technical remedial options shall be based on the main PFAS constituent compound of concern. For the relevant remedial options, advantages and disadvantages, technical and German legal requirements, and the sustainability of each respective option are discussed in this guideline. This work-aid also incorporates the results of two Germany-wide technical workshops that were held in the years 2018 and 2019. Quelle: Forschungsbericht

description: A cloud workflow system is a type of platform service which facilitates the automation of distributed applications based on the novel cloud infrastructure. Compared with grid environment, data transfer is a big overhead for cloud workflows due to the market-oriented business model in the cloud environments. In this paper, a Revised Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (RDPSO) is proposed to schedule applications among cloud services that takes both data transmission cost and computation cost into account. Experiment is conducted with a set of workflow applications by varying their data communication costs and computation costs according to a cloud price model. Comparison is made on makespan and cost optimization ratio and the cost savings with RDPSO, the standard PSO and BRS (Best Resource Selection) algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed RDPSO algorithm can achieve much more cost savings and better performance on makespan and cost optimization.
Curated Folksonomies : Three Implementations of Structure through Human Judgment

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Traditional knowledge organization approaches struggle to make large user-generated collections navigable, especially when these collections are quickly growing, in which currency is of particular concern, for which professional classification design is too costly. Many of these collections use folksonomies for labelling and organization as a low-cost but flawed knowledge organization approach. While several computational approaches offer ways to ameliorate the worst flaws of folksonomies, some user-generated collections have implemented a human judgment-centered alternative to produce structured folksonomies. An analysis of three such implementations reveals design differences within the space. This approach, termed “curated folksonomy,” presents a new object of study for knowledge organization and represents one answer to the tension between scalability and the value of human judgment.

description: We present photospheric-phase observations of LSQ12gdj, a slowly declining, UV-bright Type Ia supernova. Classified well before maximum light, LSQ12gdj has extinction-corrected absolute magnitude MB = −19.8, and pre-maximum spectroscopic evolution similar to SN 1991T and the super-Chandrasekhar-mass SN 2007if. We use ultraviolet photometry from Swift, ground-based optical photometry, and corrections from a near-infrared photometric template to construct the bolometric (1600-23 800 Å) light curve out to 45 d past B-band maximum light. We estimate that LSQ12gdj produced 0.96 ± 0.07 M⊙ of 56Ni, with an ejected mass near or slightly above the Chandrasekhar mass. As much as 27 per cent of the flux at the earliest observed phases, and 17 per cent at maximum light, is emitted bluewards of 3300 Å. The absence of excess luminosity at late times, the cutoff of the spectral energy distribution bluewards of 3000 Å and the absence of narrow line emission and strong Na I D absorption all argue against a significant contribution from ongoing shock interaction. However, ∼10 per cent of LSQ12gdj's luminosity near maximum light could be produced by the release of trapped radiation, including kinetic energy thermalized during a brief interaction with a compact, hydrogen-poor envelope (radius <1013 cm) shortly after explosion; such an envelope arises generically in double-degenerate merger scenarios.
A Prospective Neuroimaging Study of Chemotherapy-Related Cognitive Impairment in Breast Cancer Patients

description: Complaints of reduced cognitive abilities are frequent following chemotherapy. Research in the breast cancer population has revealed some patients may experience treatment-related decline in cognitive domains such as executive function, information processing speed, memory and learning, attention and concentration, and working memory. The extent and mechanism of action of this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Neuroimaging research can characterize the neural underpinnings of chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment; however, with few longitudinal studies, more prospective studies are needed to elucidate this important topic. The aim of this thesis was to use magnetic resonance imaging and contemporary analysis techniques to better understand the influence chemotherapy exerts on both the brain and cognition. This was achieved in two studies that measured cognitive function and brain structure and function at three time points: pre-treatment, one month post-chemotherapy, and at one-year follow-up. In the first study, the association between regions of brain structural changes and cognitive function was examined. The second study took a narrower approach and investigated the functional profile of brain activity during a working memory task. Patients had more pronounced structural and functional disruptions shortly after treatment, relative to both pre-treatment and one-year post-chemotherapy intervals. Regions of structural compromise were largely associated with information processing speed. Functional disruptions occurred in a frontoparietal network. Overall, this thesis provides more evidence of the injurious role chemotherapy plays on cognition, particularly in the short term. This thesis also provides the first longitudinal neuroimaging study to illustrate a complete resolution of working memory related brain disruption one year post-treatment.

Retooling the corporate brand: a Foucauldian perspective on normalisation and differentiation
Creators: name: Leitch, Shirley
name: Motion, Judy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, we draw upon the social theory of Michel Foucault to explore the neglected tension between normalisation and differentiation in corporate branding. The mainstream response within the corporate marketing literature to addressing this tension is exemplified by Deephouse who argues for the identification of a 'strategic balance point', which would lead managers to strive for the singular identity that represents the ideal compromise between differentiation and conformity. In contrast, we contend that corporate brands exist in multiple discourse contexts, that the tension between normalisation and differentiation must be managed within each of these contexts and that the brand positioning may therefore vary between and within discourse contexts. We also argue that corporate marketers consider the use of strategic ambiguity in managing the tension between normalisation and differentiation because it facilitates the creation of flexible interpretations and therefore allows multiple branding strategies to evolve and flourish.

description: Background The internationalization of clinical studies requires a shared understanding of the fundamental ethical values guiding clinical studies. It is important that these values are not only embraced at the legal level but also adopted by clinicians themselves during clinical studies. Objective Our goal is to provide an insight on how clinicians in Germany and Poland perceive and identify the different ethical issues regarding informed consent in clinical studies. Methods To gain an understanding of how clinicians view clinical studies in the countries they work in, we carried out semi-structured problem-centered interviews per telephone in Poland (n = 6) and Germany (n = 6). Our interviewees concentrated on three main topics: an appraisal of the normative framework, challenges in the information process and the protection of all participants in clinical studies. Results Clinicians generally supported the normative framework, even though they considered it quite complex. In the two study countries, a widely noted dilemma in the information process was whether to overburden participants with extensive information or risking leaving out important facts. Clinicians were ready to exclude larger population groups from participating in clinical studies when the information process could not be carried out with standard procedures or when their inclusion was ethically sensitive. Conclusion Clinicians need to gain a better understanding of the consequences of excluding larger population groups form participating in clinical studies. They should seek assistance in improving the information process for the inclusion of underrepresented groups in clinical studies.

description: Transport systems are a barrier to climate-resilient societies. Their crucial societal function to provide access is outweighed by the effects transportation has on society through its nexus with public health and the climate system. These range from greenhouse gas emissions via air andnoise pollution to accidents and reinforcing harmful sedentary lifestyles. Removing the barrier needs a transformative understanding of resilience as opposed to resilience as withstanding and adapting to pressures. This chapter entangles the relationships between transportation, public health, climate, and society in a nexus framework and explains why transport systems as barrier to climate-resilient societies will prevail as long as conventional approaches to change cause further lock-in and rebound effects. It provides an understanding of resilience allowing for transformational change. In addition, two approaches that contribute to transformative resilience are presented. Firstly, people-centered mobility puts humans and their needs before infrastructure and means of transport. This is a prerequisite for deconstructing transport systems as a barrier to climate resilience. Secondly, the pricing of externalities has the potential to completely change transport systems as we know them today, by closing the gap between prices paid for transport by individual users and actual costs incurred on a societal level. Transforming the transport sector needs to be a key element of any strategy to strive toward societal resilience. Without it, negative effects of transport systems can neither be avoided nor reduced in the required order of magnitude. A climate-resilient society cannot be reached without changes in transportation. © The Author(s)
Design and production of polymer based miniaturised bio-analytical devices
Creators: name: Garst, Sebastiaan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The aim to provide preventive healthcare and high quality medical diagnostics and treatment to an increasingly ageing population caused a rapidly increasing demand for point-of-care diagnostic devices. Disposables have an advantage over re-usable units as cross-contamination is avoided, no cleaning and sterilising of equipment is required and devices can be used out of centralised laboratories. To remain cost-effective, costs for disposables should be kept low. This makes polymer materials an obvious choice. One method for the realisation of fluidic micro devices is the stacking of several layers of microstructured polymer films. Reel-to-reel manufacturing is a promising technique for high-volume manufacturing of disposable polymer bio-analytical devices. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and cycloolefin copolymer (COC) were selected as suitable polymer substrate materials and polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) as membrane layer. Bonding of polymer films with the help of adhesives carries the risk of channel blocking. Despite this drawback, no other method of bonding PDMS to a structural layer could be identified. Bonding with solvents avoids channel blocking issues, but adversely affects biocompatibility. Thermal diffusion processes enable bonding of COC and PET without the use of any auxiliary material. The extensive process times requires for thermal diffusion bonding can be considerably shortened by pre-treating the material with plasma or UV exposure. Welding with the use of a laser energy absorbing dye was demonstrated to be particularly suitable for selective bonding around channels and reservoirs. None of the assessed bonding methods provide a generic solution to all bonding applications. Instead, the selection of an appropriate technique depends on the intended application and the required level of biocompatibility. Since this selection has implications on the feasibility and reliability of microfluidic structures on the device, design rules which ensure design for production have to be established and followed.

ESTIMATION OF UNKNOWN PARAMETER OF WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION IN INCOMPLETE MODELS OF STATISTICS
Creators: name: Berdimuradov, Mirkamol
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This paper will discuss the estimation results of Weibull distribution with type 1 right-censored data using  numerical methods. These methods involve simulations employing the Maximum Likelihood Estimation technique, utilizing both the Quasi-Newton rule and the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm. The simulation includes generating random sample data from distribution with sample n sizes of 500 and 1000. The parameters used for the initial guess are obtained from example data of patients with lung cancer, specifically . Based on the simulation results of the two estimation methods, it is evident that parameter estimation using the Quasi-Newton rule outperforms the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm when in an uncensored state. However, the estimated results of the Nelder-Mead method show better estimated values compared to the Quasi-Newton rule after a fixed censoring time. [see, graphs and tables below].

description: Isoprene is a climatically important biogenic volatile organic compound with oxidation in the atmosphere leading to ozone and aerosol production. While predominantly terrestrial, isoprene can be sourced from the ocean, although this needs to be quantified. This thesis quantified isoprene emissions from coastal benthic systems where isoprene was expected to be concentrated using an improved method. Coastal marine habitats were identified as both a source (carbonate sediments, seagrass) and sink (mangrove, seagrasses) for isoprene, with species-specific patterns being observed in seagrass communities.

description: We present the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter Astronomy (CARMA) ATLAS3D molecular gas imaging survey, a systematic study of the distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in CO-rich early-type galaxies. Our full sample of 40 galaxies (30 newly mapped and 10 taken from the literature) is complete to a 12CO(1–0) integrated flux of 18.5 Jy km s−1,1 and it represents the largest, best studied sample of its type to date. A comparison of the CO distribution of each galaxy to the g − r colour image (representing dust) shows that the molecular gas and dust distributions are in good agreement and trace the same underlying interstellar medium. The galaxies exhibit a variety of CO morphologies, including discs (50 per cent), rings (15 per cent), bars+rings (10 per cent), spiral arms (5 per cent) and mildly (12.5 per cent) and strongly (7.5 per cent) disrupted morphologies. There appear to be weak trends between galaxy mass and CO morphology, whereby the most massive galaxies in the sample tend to have molecular gas in a disc morphology. We derive a lower limit to the total accreted molecular gas mass across the sample of 2.48 × 1010 M⊙, or approximately 8.3 × 108 M⊙ per minor merger within the sample, consistent with minor merger stellar mass ratios.
Annotations with a Tablet PC or typed feedback: does it make a difference?

description: The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) has adopted a flexibility agenda and thus, assignments in many disciplines are now submitted, marked and returned electronically. However, since some markers are more comfortable marking hardcopy assignments, electronically submitted assignments may still be printed, annotated, and the handwritten feedback scanned or typed to facilitate electronic return of assignments. The latter may limit the quantity, depth and placement of comments provided. This research focuses on a course where model answers or a standard set of comments cannot be generated and detailed individual marker feedback is required. Marking rubrics have been designed to standardize marking but in the implementation process, the level of individual feedback has deteriorated. This pilot study investigates how the feedback students have received previously when assignments were marked with typed comments, compares to this year's experience when the same marker was given a Tablet PC and was able to provide handwritten feedback.

description: The Canadian Case Mix Groups or CMG(TM)* methodology groups acute care patients into clinically similar and resource homogenous groups, and further stratifies patients into three age categories (years): 0-17, 18-69 and 70+. Some healthcare practitioners believe that the 0-17 years CMG age group is too broad, and does not reflect age differences associated with hospital resources consumption. A methodological study was conducted, using linked Canadian inpatient activity and case cost data from 1997/98 to 2000/01, to examine whether or not the 0-17 years CMG age group can be further refined to better represent age differences in hospital resources consumption. The study utilized the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm and regression analyses to develop new age groups. Of the 123 CMG included in the study, CART recommended further age splits for at least 48% of the CMG. The study recommends that, subject to clinical validation, fixed age splits at 0.5 and 1.5 years of age could be applied across all CMG. *Registered Trade-mark of the Canadian Institute for Health Information.

description: Over the last few years online platforms for running psychology experiments beyond simple questionnaires and surveys have become increasingly popular. This trend has especially increased after many laboratory facilities had to temporarily avoid in-person data collection following COVID-19-related lockdown regulations. Yet, while offering a valid alternative to in-person experiments in many cases, platforms for online experiments are still not a viable solution for a large part of human-based behavioral research. Two situations in particular pose challenges: First, when the research question requires design features or participant interaction which exceed the customization capability provided by the online platform; and second, when variation among hardware characteristics between participants results in an inadmissible confounding factor. To mitigate the effects of these limitations, we developed ReActLab (Remote Action Laboratory), a framework for programming remote, browser-based experiments using freely available and open-source JavaScript libraries. Since the experiment is run entirely within the browser, our framework allows for portability to any operating system and many devices. In our case, we tested our approach by running experiments using only a specific model of Android tablet. Using ReActLab with this standardized hardware allowed us to optimize our experimental design for our research questions, as well as collect data outside of laboratory facilities without introducing setup variation among participants. In this paper, we describe our framework and show examples of two different experiments carried out with it: one consisting of a visuomotor adaptation task, the other of a visual localization task. Through comparison with results obtained from similar tasks in in-person laboratory settings, we discuss the advantages and limitations for developing browser-based experiments using our framework.

description: Global change drivers, such as population growth, increasing consumption, inequity in resource distribution, overfishing, climate change and pollution, are challenging the sustainability of global coupled human-natural seafood production system. Modelling the linkages between the biophysical and socio-economic components of the seafood production systems is a useful way to explore the interactions between these drivers and policy responses. Moreover, combining the use of models and scenarios can then provide quantitative projections for pathways of changes in ocean human-natural systems. This report documents a newly developed model, herein called Dynamic Integrated Marine Climate, Biodiversity, Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Market Model (DIVERSE) to project future pathways to seafood sustainability under global change. DIVERSE is supported by a system of linked and harmonised infrastructure of environmental, biodiversity, fisheries and socio-economic databases (Appendix). In parallel, scenarios of direct and indirect drivers of changes in the marine human-natural systems are developed based on the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) and the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) frameworks.

description: The binding of CD80/CD86 on the APC to CD28 on the T cell surface provides a second signal for T cell activation. While it was once believed that this interaction represented a one-way signal, resulting in T cell activation, recently, it has been investigated as a bidirectional signaling process. CD80/86 activation produces IL-6 in DCs, but its role in macrophage activation is unknown. Dysregulation of CD80/86 expression has been observed in autoimmune disorders and cancer, and may also influence the development of immune responses including production of cytokines in response to stimulation with TLR-4 ligand, LPS. Therefore, the focus of my project was twofold: 1) to investigate the role of CD80/86 as signaling receptors capable of transmitting extracellular signals, and 2) to determine the TLR-4 activated pathways that regulate CD80/86 expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Since I demonstrated that activation of CD80/86 alone did not induce expression of the four cytokines investigated, I hypothesized that CD80/86 synergizes with other signaling pathways. I show for the first time that CD80/86 activation synergizes with TLR-4 signaling to produce IL-27 and IL-10 in human MDMs. Since cIAPs play a key role in TLR-4-mediated signaling, I investigated their role in TLR-4- and CD80/86-activated production of IL-10 and IL-27. Degradation of IAPs by SMAC mimetics inhibited LPS-induced IL-10 and IL-27 production in MDMs. However, it did not alter the TLR-4 and CD80/86 synergistic effect on IL-10 and IL-27 production suggesting that IAPs may not play a role in CD80/86 activation of macrophages. Since I have demonstrated this role for IAPs, I extended my studies by examining the involvement of IAPs and other upstream signaling molecules such as SHP-1, RIP1, TRAF2, in modulating the LPS-induced CD80/86 expression. I showed that cIAP2, SHP-1, RIP1, TRAF2 co-localize to form a complex that regulates the LPS-induced CD80 and CD86 expression through AKT-activated p38 MAPK in human macrophages. These findings may lead to the development of novel therapeutic interventions in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Religioni e ateismi: una complexio oppositorum alla base del neo-separatismo europeo

Dualità del potere e neutralità religiosa, svoltosi in Bari il 4-5 novembre 2010 per iniziativa della Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università di Bari “Aldo Moro”, del Centre d’études internationales sur la romanité Université de La Rochelle e dell’Unità di ricerca “Giorgio La Pira” CNR – Università di Roma “La Sapienza”. Lo scritto, che sarà pubblicato negli atti del Colloquio, è destinato agli Studi in onore di Rinaldo Bertolino.SOMMARIO: 1. Il dialogo dell’Unione europea con le organizzazioni confessionali e non – 2. Il separatismo statunitense – 3. Il neo-separatismo europeo – 4. La complexio oppositorum nell’elaborazione cattolica … - 5 … e in quella secolare – 6. Il separatismo pluralistico europeo (e americano).ABSTRACTReligions and Atheisms: a Complexio Oppositorum at hearth of the European New-SeparatismThe European Union is not interested in religious phenomenon. It’s a form of separatism between State and Church. Yet the last Treaty about the Union functioning stated an “open, transparent and regular dialogue” between the Union and the Churches and the philosophical or non-confessional organizations alike. So religions and atheisms, the exact opposites, are not only recognized but also linked as complexio oppositorum. That originates a pluralistic separatism. By means of constitutional law research this paper demonstrates that this new-separatism is new for the Europe but usual for the U.S. and therefore it contributes a long way towards a rapprochement between Europe and America from the constitutional point of wiew.

Gattung – Medium – Politik: Eine quantitative Geschichte der Novellen des 19. Jahrhunderts

description: Präsentation zum Vortrag "Gattung – Medium – Politik: Eine quantitative Geschichte der Novellen des 19. Jahrhunderts", der am 21. Oktober 2024 an der Universität Rostock in der Ringvorlesung "Digital Humanities im Fokus: Methoden, Anwendungen und Perspektiven" gehalten wurde.

Abstract:

Wenn es um die Novelle geht, neigt man in der germanistischen Literatur­wissen­schaft zu gegenteiligen Ansichten: Viele glauben, sie sei eine strenge Form und ge­schlossene Gattung. Andere sind davon überzeugt, die Novelle gebe es nicht. Der Vortrag nimmt diese spezifisch germanistische Problemlage zum Ausgangspunkt für den Bedarf nach einer Lösung für ein allgemeineres Problem: Gattungsgeschichte bedarf komplexer Modelle, die nicht nur unterschiedliche Faktoren literarischen Wandels in Rechnung stellen, sondern auch unterschiedliche Funktionen von Gattungen zu berücksichtigen erlauben. Die vorgestellte Lösung besteht in einer multiperspektivischen Modellierung von Literaturgeschichte, die mit quantitativen Analyseverfahren einen hohen Grad an Heterogenität literarischer Gattungen in den Blick zu nehmen erlaubt. Vorgestellt wird ein Metamodell, das Gattung nicht länger als eine Relation zwischen Textmerkmalen und Gattungs­zugehörigkeit begreift, sondern als ein triadisches Relationsbündel zwischen Text, begrifflicher Zuordnungs­praxis und Kontext. Um diese Relationsbündel auflösen zu können, werden auf der Grundlage maschinellen Lernens Verfahren zur Model­lierung der Vagheit von Gattungs­begriffen vorgestellt. Für die Frage, wie sich Gat­tungen eigent­lich im Kräftefeld konkurrierender Faktoren zur Prägung lite­rari­schen Wandels ver­halten, wird eine Faktoren­analyse entfaltet. Schließlich gilt es Gattung auch als politische Strategie zu verstehen. Der Vortrag versteht sich in dieser Weise als ein von einem konkreten historischen Problem ausgehender Entwurf für die Entwicklung komplexer Modelle, die geeignet sind, literaturgeschichtliche Fragen mit der erforderlichen Tiefenschärfe zu beantworten.
