Abstract

Le livre introduit la biologie contemporaine par l’histoire de ses origines. Au travers des interrogations et des errements des pionniers de cette discipline, le lecteur appréhende la complexité des processus inhérents à la vie et acquiert une vision d’ensemble sur l’état actuel de nos connaissances. Ainsi l’auteur retrace-t-il les théories de l’évolution, les démarches qui ont conduit à la biologie cellulaire, à la biologie moléculaire et au déchiffrage du métabolisme cellulaire, en insistant sur les liens qui les unissent. L’ouvrage comprend de nombreuses illustrations, un index des auteurs et un glossaire pour faciliter la lecture de celui qui ne dispose pas de bases classiques de biologie.

Abstract

At a seminar at the University of Bergen, Norway, in September 2018, scholars from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden presented and discussed various forms of source criticism and comparison with examples from the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions of Eurasia and North America. A selection of the papers read at the seminar are published in this volume. Each of the chapters in the first part compares local phenomena from two or more cultural contexts: a Swedish, a Karelian, an Estonian and an Irish place name that include words for hostage (Stefan Olsson), Old Icelandic and Sami ancestor mountains (Eldar Heide), and Finno-Karelian bear incantations and Ob-Ugrian bear songs (Vesa Matteo Piludu). The second part gives examples of different forms of source criticism in the analysis of indigenous Sami religion. The functions of a newly found ritual drum is discussed in relation to contemporary written sources (Dikka Storm & Trude Fonneland), the court proceedings from a witchcraft trial in 1692 is discussed with the help of Gérard Genette’s category ‘voice’ (Liv Helene Willumsen), and a content analysis of an introduction to indigenous Sami religion shows that the editor added text of his own to the original manuscript (Konsta Kaikkonen). In the third part, the area is widened to other parts of the Arctic. Here, a selection of theoretical perspectives is used to illuminate local empirical material. They give examples of how Native North American bear rituals and sweat bath traditions can be analysed with the help of an ecology of religion model and ritual theories, respectively (Riku Hämäläinen), of how Soviet researchers used the concepts of ‘spirits’ and ‘gods’ when they analysed the world view of the Nganasan (Olle Sundström), and of how representatives of academia have been instrumental in the ‘finding, claiming, and authorizing’ of Sakha religions (Liudmila Nikanorova). Although the papers only deal with a few of the peoples living in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions, the examples of source critical and comparative problems they discuss are of great general relevance.

Abstract

In March 1953, Maurice Wilkins of King's College, London, announced the departure of his obstructive colleague Rosalind Franklin to rival Cavendish Laboratory scientist Francis Crick. But it was too late. Franklin's unpublished data and crucial photograph of DNA had already been seen by her competitors at the Cambridge University lab. With the aid of these, plus their own knowledge, Watson and Crick discovered the structure of the molecule that genes are composed of -- DNA, the secret of life. This is a powerful story of a remarkable simpleminded, forthright and tempestuous young woman who, at the age of fifteen, decided she was going to be a scientist, but who was airbrushed out of the greatest scientific discovery of the twentieth century.

Abstract

Vor rund einem Jahrzehnt wurde in Österreich die domänenspezifische Kompetenzorientierung im Fach Geschichte und Sozialkunde/Politische Bildung curricular verordnet. Dies war ein Paradigmenwechsel, der den fachdidaktischen theoretischen Diskurs seither stark befruchtet. Doch wie ist die Kompetenzorientierung in der Praxis des Unterrichts und in den Überzeugungen von Lehrpersonen angekommen? Dieser Frage wurde im Rahmen zweier vom Autor an den Universitäten Salzburg und Oxford durchgeführten Forschungsprojekte empirisch nachgegangen. Der Autor hat 50 qualitative Interviews mit in der Praxis stehenden Lehrpersonen zahlreicher verschiedener Schulen durchgeführt und ausgewertet. Auf diese Weise konnte das Kompetenzverständnis der Lehrpersonen und deren Überzeugungen und Vorbehalte zum Thema Kompetenzorientierung umfassend rekonstruiert werden.

Abstract

Demonstrating, representing, or showing is at the heart of every educational action. Historical representations on screen and stage do not "teach" us history but rather influence our ideas and interpretations of it. The contributions to this volume explore the depiction of history in theater and film from the intersection of historical scholarship, aesthetics, memory studies, and education. They examine the creation of historical images, film production and reception, the scriptwriting process, educational programming, and depictions of German- American encounters. Above all else, they explore how various theatrical and filmic productions show history rather than tell it.
