Abstract

A number of highly informative books have been written about what is often called the "Armenian Genocide". This book, written by a political scientist, offers a different approach: It doesn’t concentrate on the past; it concentrates on the present, and shows how this past event is perceived and discussed today. The idea is that the arguments deployed in this debate, those which allege that what happened amounts to genocide and those which deny this claim reveal something about cognitive structures of present agents, such as the Turkish government, as well as about the meaning and use of the term "genocide". Analyzing current positions and communication on this historical event thereby helps to illuminate present notions of identity, justice and interethnic coexistence.

Abstract

This book takes an exciting perspective on language change, by explaining it in terms of Darwin's evolutionary theory. Looking at a number of developments in the history of sounds and words, Nikolaus Ritt shows how the constituents of language can be regarded as mental patterns, or 'memes', which copy themselves from one brain to another when communication and language acquisition take place. Memes are both stable in that they transmit faithfully from brain to brain, and active in that their success at replicating depends upon their own properties. Ritt uses this controversial approach to challenge established models of linguistic competence, in which speakers acquire, use, and shape language. In Darwinian terms, language evolution is something that happens to, rather than through, speakers, and the interests of linguistic constituents matter more than those of their human 'hosts'. This book will stimulate debate among evolutionary biologists, cognitive scientists and linguists alike.

Abstract

Nikolaus Dietrich legt ein neues Modell zum Verständnis der Räumlichkeit griechischer Bilder vor, das er anhand der Analyse von Landschaftselementen in der attischen Vasenmalerei des 6. und 5. Jh. v.Chr. entwickelt. In nahsichtigen Untersuchungen werden Motive wie Bäume, Felsen und Geländelinien in ihrer konkreten medialen Bedeutung erschlossen. Dabei erweist sich unser neuzeitliches Verständnis von Landschaftsraum als gänzlich ungeeignet für das Verständnis: Die Landschaftselemente bilden keine Räume ab, sondern sind integrierender Bestandteil der Figurendarstellung auf der Vase. Der Raum der griechischen Bilder stellt insofern keine Vorstufe, sondern eine grundsätzliche Alternative zu dem Bildraum dar, der uns seit der Renaissance geläufig ist. Damit wird die kulturelle Bedingtheit unseres Sehens deutlich.

Abstract

The availability of financial data recorded on high-frequency level has inspired a research area which over the last decade emerged to a major area in econometrics and statistics. The growing popularity of high-frequency econometrics is driven by technological progress in trading systems and an increasing importance of intraday trading, liquidity risk, optimal order placement as well as high-frequency volatility. This book provides a state-of-the art overview on the major approaches in high-frequency econometrics, including univariate and multivariate autoregressive conditional mean approaches for different types of high-frequency variables, intensity-based approaches for financial point processes and dynamic factor models. It discusses implementation details, provides insights into properties of high-frequency data as well as institutional settings and presents applications to volatility and liquidity estimation, order book modelling and market microstructure analysis.

Abstract

Experiments in Reduced Gravity: Sediment Settling on Mars is the first book to be published that reflects experiments conducted on Martian geomorphology in reduced gravity. This brief yet important book on sediment experiments assesses the theoretical and empirical foundation of the models used to analyze the increasing information we have on the past geography on Mars. The book also evaluates the need to develop new methods for analyzing new information by providing a conceptual outline and a case study on how experiments can be used to test current theoretical considerations.

Abstract

In der Überlieferung der Mariendichtung des Priesters Wernher hat der Bildercodex D (um 1230) einen besonderen Rang: er gehört zu den frühesten illuminierten Handschriften in deutscher Sprache und bezeugt die späte Wirkung des Regensburg-Prüfeninger Federzeichnungsstils. Untersucht werden das erkennbar experimentierende Verfahren, mit dem die Bilder in den Text eingebaut werden sowie die in die Miniaturen eingelagerten Spruchbänder und deren Beitrag zur Verbindung von Text und Bild (mit Abdruck der Spruchbandtexte).

Abstract

Nicolas Wasser critically examines how sexual and racial identities are currently being articulated through capitalist brands and labor. On the basis of an ethnographic case study about a Brazilian fashion enterprise, he shows how young - lesbian, gay and black - sales employees align themselves with the ambivalent promises put forward by diversity management. Their affective labor, the study argues, is at the center of new and globally unfolding regimes of the precarious. Readers will thus find a rich sociological account from the Global South on how neoliberal logics of self-optimization both traverse and fuel the aspirations of the minoritized.

Abstract

Drawing a Hypothesis is an exciting reader on the ontology of forms of visualisation and on the development of the diagrammatic perspective and its use in contemporary art, science and theory. In an intense process of exchange with artists and scientists, Nikolaus Gansterer reveals drawing figures as a media of research which enables the emergence of new narratives and ideas by tracing the speculative potential of diagrams. Based on a discursive analysis of found figures with the artist’s own diagrammatic maps and models, the invited authors create unique correlations between thinking and drawing. Due to its ability to mediate between perception and reflection, drawing proves to be one of the most basic instruments of scientific and artistic practice, and plays an essential role in the production and communication of knowledge. The book is a rich compendium of figures of thought, which moves from scientific representation through artistic interpretation and vice versa.
