Governing Through Resilience? Exploring Flood Protection in Dresden, Germany
(2014-06-04)
The paper argues for a governmentality perspective on risk-management politics and resilience-related governance. This perspective pays ample attention to conflicts and discursive ‘battles’ in which different truths and normative assessments, including specific rationalities, subjectivities and technologies of governing compete against. Up to now, the literature on governmentality and resilience has mainly been based on empirical research in the UK. This research highlights the growing importance of neoliberal forms ...

David. Die Samuelbücher (Teil 2)
(2017)
Von keiner anderen Figur des Alten Testaments erfahren wir so vieles - und so unterschiedliches - wie von König David. Auch die Lebensgeschichte des Mose nimmt breiten Raum ein - schließlich kann die gesamte Tora als Biographie dieses größten Propheten Israels gelesen werden. David aber erhält mehr Nuancen, mehr Farbe, mehr Gestalt. Die Erzählungen der Samuelbücher zeigen ihn als schillernde Figur: Musiker, Krieger, Verräter, König, Liebhaber, Vater - die Reihe ließe sich noch eine Weile fortsetzen. David erscheint ...

Knowledge Is Power for Medical Assistants: Crystallized and Fluid Intelligence As Predictors of Vocational Knowledge
(2018-02-01)
Medical education research has focused almost entirely on the education of future physicians. In comparison, findings on other health-related occupations, such as medical assistants, are scarce. With the current study, we wanted to examine the knowledge-is-power hypothesis in a real life educational setting and add to the sparse literature on medical assistants. Acquisition of vocational knowledge in vocational education and training (VET) was examined for medical assistant students (n = 448). Differences in ...

Optimization of thermomechanical processes for the functional gradation of polymers by means of advanced empirical modeling techniques
(2015-02-17)
In this paper, an optimization procedure for complex manufacturing processes is presented. The procedure is based on advanced empirical modeling techniques and will be presented in two parts. The first part comprises the selection and generation of the empirical surrogate models. The process organization and the design of experiments are taken into account. In order to analyze and optimize the processes based on the empirical models, advanced methods and tools are presented in the second part. These tools include ...

A framework for the computer-aided planning and optimisation of manufacturing processes for components with functional graded properties
(2015-02-17)
In this contribution a framework for the computer-aided planning and optimisation of functional graded components is presented. The framework is divided into three modules - the "Component Description", the "Expert System" for the synthetisation of several process chains and the "Modelling and Process Chain Optimisation". The Component Description module enhances a standard computer-aided design (CAD) model by a voxel-based representation of the graded properties. The Expert System synthesises process steps stored ...

Competing Wind Energy Discourses, Contested Landscapes
(2014-10-13)
The impairment of landscapes is a concern constantly raised against wind energy developments in Germany as in other countries. Often, landscapes or landscape types are treated in the literature as essentialist or at least as uncontested categories. We analyse two examples of local controversies about wind energy, in which “landscape” is employed by supporters and opponents alike, from a poststructuralist and discourse theoretical angle. The aim is to identify and compare landscape constructs produced in the micro ...

Die gesellschaftliche Konstituierung von Kulturlandschaft
(2012)
Der Beitrag skizziert die Forschungsheuristik, die dem Projektverbund „Konstituierung von Kulturlandschaft“, dessen Ergebnisse in den nachfolgenden Beiträgen vorgestellt werden, zugrunde gelegen hat. Aus soziologischer, politikwissenschaftlicher, planerischer und sozial-geographischer Perspektive hat interessiert, wie sich Kulturlandschaften durch subjektive Bedeutungszuschreibungen im alltagssprachlichen Handeln, Diskurse und Diskurskoalitionen, die Koordination sektoraler Institutionensysteme sowie durch ...

Diskurse, Institutionen und Governance: Sozialwissenschaftliche Zugänge zum Untersuchungsgegenstand Kulturlandschaft
(2010)
In recent years cultural landscapes were regarded from new angles. Attention has shifted away from conservation. Cultual landscapes are now often seen as an asset for development of both rural and urban regions. The changing view on cultural landscapes has also consequences for landscape research: What is needed ia a new notion which takes into account that cultural landscapes are socially constructed through individual perception, identification and social interaction. This can be termed a reflexive constructivist ...

Diskursive Konstituierung von Kulturlandschaft am Beispiel politischer Windenergiediskurse in Deutschland
(2012)
Es gibt zahlreiche Landschafts- oder Kulturlandschaftsbegriffe, was mitunter irritierend sein kann. In diesem Beitrag wird kein „neuer“ Landschaftsbegriff propagiert. Stattdessen untersuchen wir, wie „Landschaft“ oder „Kulturlandschaft“ in politischen Diskursen mit Bedeutung aufgeladen werden. Ziel ist es, einen Ansatz zur Analyse der diskursiven Konstituierung von Kulturlandschaft und Methoden zu dessen Umsetzung vorzustellen. Dabei stützen wir uns auf die poststrukturalistische Diskurstheorie von Ernesto Laclau. ...

Die Zeiten ändern sich. Zur Verwendung des imparfait in narrativen Kontexten
(2012)
Using the imparfait in narrative contexts seems to contradict the imperfective aspect of the form, as the perfective aspect seems far more adequate in these contexts. In order to understand the effects of this usage, the imparfait narrative is considered on two levels: on the linguistic level of the French language and its aspect system, and on a text level that embraces the cultural discourse traditions that characterise different text types and genres. On the linguistic level, the imparfait is first contrasted to ...
