Whereas the teaching of algorithms and programming languages is usually well structured within a curriculum, the development of learners’ problem-solving skills is largely implicit and less structured. Students at all levels often face difficulties in problem analysis and solution construction. The basic assumption of the workshop is that without some formal instruction on effective strategies, even the most inventive learner may resort to unproductive trial-and-error problemsolving processes. Hence, it is important to teach problem-solving strategies and to guide teachers on how to teach their pupils this cognitive tool. Computer science educators should be aware of the difficulties and acquire appropriate pedagogical tools to help their learners gain and experience problem-solving skills.

Most bilingual programs in German secondary education started out by focusing on subjects from the field of social sciences. Teachers and bilingual curriculum experts alike have been regarding those as the most suitable subjects for bilingual instruction – largely due to the intercultural perspective that a bilingual approach provides. And though one cannot deny the gain that ensues from an intercultural perspective on subjects such as history or geography, this benefit is certainly not limited to social science subjects. In consequence, bilingual curriculum designers have already begun to include other subjects such as physics or chemistry in bilingual school programs. It only seems a small step to extend this to informatics. This paper will start out by addressing potential benefits of adding informatics to the range of subjects taught as part of English-language bilingual programs in German secondary education. In a second step it will sketch out a methodological (= didactical) model for teaching informatics to German learners through English. It will then provide two items of hands-on and tested teaching material in accordance with this model. The discussion will conclude with a brief outlook on the chances and prerequisites of firmly establishing informatics as part of bilingual school curricula in Germany.

We are using the France-IOI platform to federate resources and share observation for research. The first step is the implementation of an adaptive hypermedia based on very fine grain epistemic modules for Python programming learning. We define the necessary traces to be built in order to study the trajectories of navigation the pupils will draw across this hypermedia. It may be browsed by pupils either as a course support, or an extra help to solve the list of exercises (mainly for algorithmics discovery). By leaving the locus of control to the learner, we want to observe the different trajectories they finally draw through our system. These trajectories may be abstracted and interpreted as strategies and then compared for their relative efficiency. Our hypothesis is that learners have different profiles and may use the appropriate strategy accordingly. This paper presents the research questions, the method and the expected results.

In our effort to introduce the practically missing computing science into Czech general secondary education, we have revisited this purpose.We propose an approach, which is in better accordance with the goals of general secondary education in Czechia. The importance of programming is diminishing, while recognition of algorithmic procedures and precise (yet concise) communication of algorithms is gaining importance. This includes expressing algorithms in natural language, which is more useful for most of the students than programming. We propose criteria to evaluate such descriptions. Finally, an idea about the limitations is required (inefficient algorithms, unsolvable problems, Turing’s test). We describe these adjusted educational goals and an outline of the resulting course. Our experience with carrying out the proposed intentions is satisfactory, although we did not accomplish all the defined goals.

Unfortunately informatics curricula, which include the domain of logic programming, are still input-orientated or lack detailed competence descriptions. Therefore, the development of competence model and of learning outcomes' descriptions is essential for the learning process in this domain. A prior research developed both. The next research step is to formulate test items to measure the described learning outcomes. This article describes this procedure and exemplifies test items. It also relates a test in school to the items and shows which misconceptions and typical errors are important to discuss in class. The test result can also confirm or disprove the competence model. Therefore, this school test is important for theoretical research as well as for the concrete planning of lessons.

As a result, France has consolidated and strengthened its strategic position in the Indian Ocean. With the change of political status in 2011, new developments have occurred in Mayotte. It is still unclear whether the expected economic boom, extensive social benefits or injection of EU regional funds can help to alleviate poverty and raise living standards. There is concern, however, that massive immigration to Mayotte from the surrounding territories is diminishing any progress and will continue to do so. Not only France but also the EU will have to adapt to new immigration problems due to this new external border. In this situation one thing is clear: the language contact between French and the local languages, which is the result of political developments, is leading to new dynamics. The diglossic situation east of Africa, between French as the dominant language and local languages like Shimaoré or Shibushi spoken in Mayotte will become more marked in the next few years.

It analyses how Humboldt sought to appropriate the revolutionary new communication and transportation technologies of the time in order to integrate the American continent into global networks of commercial, intellectual and material exchange. Recent scholarship on Humboldt’s expedition to the New World (1799-1804) has claimed that his descriptions of tropical landscapes opened up South America to a range of ‘transformative interventions’ (Pratt) by European capitalists and investors. These studies, however, have not analysed the motivations underlying Humboldt’s support for such intrusions into nature. Furthermore, they have not explored the role that such projects played in shaping Humboldt’s understanding of the forces behind the progress of societies. To comprehend Humboldt’s approval for human interventions in America’s natural world, this study first explores the role that eighteenth-century theories of progress and the notion of geographical determinism played in shaping his conception of civilisational development. It will look at concrete examples of transformative interventions in the American hemisphere that were actively proposed by Humboldt and intended to overcome natural obstacles to human interaction. These were the use of steamships, electric telegraphy, railroads and large-scale canals that together enabled global trade and communication to occur at an unprecedented pace. All these contemporary innovations will be linked to the four motifs of nets, mobility, progress and acceleration, which were driving forces behind the ‘transformation of the world’ that took place in the course of the nineteenth century. N2 - Dieser Artikel untersucht das Verhältnis zwischen den revolutionären technologischen Neuerungen des 19. Jahrhunderts und dem Leben und Wirken Alexander von Humboldts (1769-1859). Dabei wird gefragt, wie Humboldt versuchte, die neuen und sprichwörtlich bahnbrechenden Kommunikations- und Transporttechnologien seiner Zeit zu nutzen, um den amerikanischen Kontinent in globale kommerzielle und kulturelle Austauschprozesse zu integrieren. Jüngere Forschungen zu Humboldts amerikanischer Expedition (1799-1804) haben behauptet, dass seine Beschreibungen Südamerikas den Kontinent für zahlreiche ’transformative interventions’ (Pratt) von Seiten europäischer Kapitalisten und Investoren zugänglich gemacht hätten. Diese Studien haben jedoch nicht analysiert, aus welchen Motiven heraus Humboldt diese Eingriffe in die Natur unterstützte. Darüber hinaus wurde nicht der zentralen Frage nachgegangen, welche Rolle diese Projekte in Humboldts eigener Auffassung über die Kräfte des gesellschaftlichen Fortschritts gespielt haben. Um Humboldts Unterstützung für tiefgreifende Eingriffe in die Natur Amerikas nachvollziehen zu können, analysiert dieser Artikel zunächst, welche Rolle der ‚Geodeterminismus’ und die Fortschrittstheorien der Aufklärung in seinem Verständnis von zivilisatorischer Entwicklung spielten. Dabei sollen solche Beispiele menschlicher Interventionen in die Natur Amerikas untersucht werden, die Humboldt selbst aktiv förderte – nicht zuletzt, da sie geeignet schienen, ‚natürliche’ Barrieren für gesellschaftliche Austauschprozesse zu beseitigen. Dies waren vor allem die Nutzung von Dampfschiffen, elektrischer Telegrafie, Eisenbahnen und großangelegten Kanalprojekten, deren gebündelte Effekte zu einer signifikanten Beschleunigung von Welthandel und Kommunikationsprozessen führten. Diese zeitgenössischen Innovationen sollen mit den vier Motiven ‚Netz’, ‚Mobilität’, ‚Fortschritt’ und ‚Beschleunigung’ analytisch verbunden werden, da diese Faktoren eine zentrale Rolle für die ‚Verwandlung der Welt’ im 19. Jahrhundert spielten. N2 - Este artículo examina la relación entre las profundas transformaciones tecnológicas del siglo XIX y la vida y obra del estudioso prusiano Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). Para ello, analizaremos cómo Humboldt trató de apropiarse de las nuevas y revolucionarias tecnologías de comunicación y transporte de su tiempo, de cara a poder integrar el continente americano en redes globales de intercambio comercial, material e intelectual. Estudios recientes sobre la expedición de Humboldt al Nuevo Mundo (1799-1804) han demostrado que sus descripciones de los paisajes tropicales americanos abrieron Sudamérica a una serie de ‘intervenciones transformativas’ (Mary Louise Pratt) lideradas por capitalistas e inversores europeos. No obstante, estos estudios no han analizado las motivaciones que llevaron a Humboldt a prestar su apoyo a tamañas intrusiones en la naturaleza. Más aún, tampoco han intentado analizar cómo estos proyectos influyeron sobre Humboldt, sobre su manera de entender las fuerzas motoras que se escondían tras el progreso de las sociedades. Con el objetivo de entender la aprobación de Humboldt a las intervenciones humanas que se llevaron a cabo en el suelo americano, este estudio se centrará primero en explorar el papel que las teorías sobre el progreso del siglo XVIII, así como la noción de determinismo geográfico, tuvieron en la concepción que tenía el investigador prusiano del desarrollo de las civilizaciones. Se estudiarán, para ello, algunos casos concretos de intervenciones transformativas que se llevaron a cabo en el hemisferio americano y que, propuestas con entusiasmo por el mismo Humboldt, intentaron superar los obstáculos naturales que dificultaban la intervención humana. Nos referiremos, más particularmente, al uso de barcos a vapor, telégrafos eléctricos, vías férreas y canales de gran escala. En definitiva, elementos que dieron lugar, en su conjunto, a un comercio y una comunicación global que se llevaron a cabo a un ritmo sin precedentes. Una serie de innovaciones que habrá que relacionar con cuatro temas fundamentales: redes, movilidad, progreso y aceleración; fuerzas motoras de la ‘transformación del mundo’ que tuvo lugar a lo largo del siglo XIX.

Buch Henoch bis hin zur Hekhalot Literatur, zudem werden Philos Schriften einbezogen. Es werden sowohl Beschreibungen der himmlischen Sphären als auch des Prozesses des Emporsteigens behandelt. Trotz seiner von Platon geprägten, negativen Theologie setzt Philo kosmologische und spirituelle Himmel voraus und stützt sich auf die biblische Vorstellung der strahlenden Herrlichkeit. Auch wenn die Texte des Aufstiegs in die Himmeln nicht in einer philosophischen Sprache verfasst sind, verdeutlichen sie dennoch, dass der Mensch nicht in seinem irdischen Körper in die Himmel aufsteigen kann und dass Gott nicht mit irdischen Augen gesehen werden kann. Ideengeschichtlich sind diese Texte nicht so weit vom Philosophen Philo entfernt wie dies zuerst den Anschein haben mag. N2 - This paper explores questions surrounding corporeality and heavenly ascent, in texts ranging from 1 Enoch to the Hekhalot literature, including Philo’s works. It examines both descriptions of the heavenly realms and accounts of the ascent process. Despite his Platonic apophaticism, Philo superimposes cosmological and spiritual heavens, and draws upon the biblical imagery of dazzling glory. Although they do not express themselves in philosophical language, the heavenly ascent texts make it clear that human beings cannot ascend to heaven in their earthly bodies, and that God cannot be seen with terrestrial eyes. In terms of ideas they are not so far from the philosopher Philo as might at first appear.

Allgemein wird in diesem Beitrag aufgezeigt, wie Erinnerung einerseits aus einem Zeitalter anhaltenden Schweigens befreien und andererseits wieder in ein größeres historisches Narrativ integriert werden kann. Vice versa wird ebenfalls untersucht, wie das die jüdische Erinnerung umschließende Schweigen dennoch seine Fortsetzung im scharfen Gegensatz zu diesem neuen Verständnis von Erinnerung findet. Abschließend wird im Artikel die Frage gestellt, warum dieses Schweigen anhält und ob Noras Theorie, dass sich Erinnerung kontinuierlich entwickelt, auf die Erfahrungen jüdischer Erinnerung in York und Winchester angewendet werden kann. N2 - This article examines Pierre Nora’s concept of memory using the examples of York and Winchester to demonstrate the individuality of local approaches to the memory of medieval Anglo-Jewries. Overall, this paper will highlight how memory can be rescued from a period of prolonged silence and reintegrated back into a wider historical narrative. Conversely it will also examine how in stark contrast to this new attitude of remembering the silence surrounding Jewish memory continues to exist elsewhere. Finally this paper will ask why this silence remains, and question whether Nora’s theory that memory is constantly evolving is applicable to the experiences of Jewish memory in York and Winchester.

Reform of the treaty body system and debates over the creation of a unified standing treaty body N2 - Diskussionen über die Reform der UN-Mechanismen zum Schutz der Menschenrechte sind keineswegs neu. Seit Veröffentlichung des dritten Reformberichts von UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan “In Larger Freedom” im März 2005 haben sich jedoch die Voraussetzungen für eine tiefer gehende Reform der Menschenrechtsgremien verbessert. Zum ersten Mal haben UN-Mitgliedstaaten den politischen Willen manifestiert, das System grundlegend und nicht wie früher nur kosmetisch zu verändern. Das zeigt sich zum einen in dem Bestreben, die seit langem als hoffnungslos politisiert diskreditierte Menschenrechtskommission durch einen effizienteren Menschenrechtsrat mit weitergehenden Kompetenzen und innovativen Arbeitsmethoden zu ersetzen. Zum anderen sind Diskussionen im Gange, um das System der Expertenausschüsse, die die innerstaatliche Umsetzung der wichtigsten UNO Menschenrechtskonventionen überwachen sollen, effizienter zu gestalten und gegebenenfalls durch ein einziges, permanent tagendes Expertengremium zu ersetzen. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick der Verhandlungen und versucht, ein vorsichtiges Fazit der ersten beiden Sitzungen des Menschenrechtsrates zu ziehen. Obwohl die meisten Arbeitsmethoden des Rates erst noch ausgehandelt werden müssen, so läßt sich doch bereits erkennen, daß die Politisierung, die die frühere Menschenrechtskommission charakterisierte, leider auch die Arbeit des Rates prägen wird. Das verheißt nicht unbedingt Gutes für die Zukunft. Was eine Reform der Expertenausschüsse betrifft, so stehen Diskussionen noch in der Anfangsphase, und ein permanent tagender Expertenausschuß ist in absehbarer Zukunft nicht zu erwarten.

N2 - The essay compares the dichotomous concepts of corporeality and spirituality in Judaism and Christianity. Through the ages, deviations from normative principles of beliefs could be discerned in both religions. These can be attributed either to the somewhat confrontational interaction between Jews and Christians in the Medieval urban environment or to the impact of Hellenic civilization on both monotheistic religions. Out of this dynamic impact emerged Christian art with a predilection to expressed corporeality, whereas Jewish religiosity found its artistic expression in a spiritual noniconographical mode. A genuine Jewish art and iconography could develop only after a certain degree of assimilation and secularization. Marc Chagall was the first protagonist of a mature expression of Jewish iconography. N2 - Im Essay werden Körperlichkeit und Spiritualität als dichotomes Begriffspaar im Judentum (und Islam) gegenüber dem Christentum verglichen. Im Geschichtsverlauf wurden bei beiden Religionen Abweichungen von den sogenannten normativen Glaubenssätzen festgestellt. Diese können sowohl auf gegenseitige Beeinflussung (Anpassung durch Konfrontation im Mittelalter zwischen Judentum und Christentum) wie auch auf externe Akkulturationsprozesse (Hellenisierungsprozess im antiken Judentum) zurückgeführt werden. Es entsteht ein dynamisches Wechselspiel, wobei in der christlichen Kunst eine allmähliche Verkörperlichung stattfindet, während sich die jüdische Religiosität und der Kunstausdruck auf eine Vergeistigung festlegen. Eine eigenständige jüdische Kunstsprache und Ikonographie konnte allerdings erst nach einem gewissen Assimilationsgrad und Säkularisierungsprozess entstehen. Bei Marc Chagall hatte sie ihre erste Reife erreicht.

N2 - Yoel Hoffmann is an Israeli writer born in 1937 in Brasov (Kronstadt), Romania. Brought up in a German-speaking family, already in his first book, Sefer Yosef (1989), he conveys the voice of German-speaking immigrants in Israel (the “Katschen” story, 1986) and that of the East European Jewish community in Berlin in the late 1930s, on the verge of the Second World War. His works are crammed with characters of Jews from Germany gripped by the memory of the language they abandoned following their emigration to Palestine in the 1930s. The classic one is the character of Bernhard, in the eponymous work. The current article focuses on the representation and elaboration of Hoffmann’s unique creation, in a language influenced by his deep identification with Zen Buddhism on the one hand, and his attraction to the modernist, Western style of stream of consciousness on the other. In central sections of his works, Hoffman presents his entire literary corpus as a type of explicit, allusive, or secret Holocaust literature, and invites his readers and his critics to decode the allusions and expose the secret in this theme, a surprising statement in relation to Hoffmann’s work and its analysis so far. Hoffmann represents the Holocaust as a collective Israeli trauma for which his literary fiction creates a special catalogue of representative characters. In the creation of a catalogue, and particularly one that simultaneously classifies and individualizes, Hoffmann’s project resembles the monumental 1920s cataloguing project by the celebrated German photographer August Sander (Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts). Hoffmann included photographs from this project in his works, and even chose some of them for the covers of his books. The article examines the implicit relationships between these two creative artists as conferring a meaning so far not considered in the research of the Holocaust theme in Yoel Hoffmann’s writings. N2 - Yoel Hoffmann ist ein israelischer Autor, der 1937 in Brasov (Kronstadt), Rumänien geboren wurde. Er wuchs in einer deutschsprachigen Familie auf. Bereits in seinem ersten Buch Sefer Yosef (1989) verleiht er den deutschsprachigen Immigranten in Israel (die „Katschen”-Geschichte, 1986) und der osteuropäisch-jüdischen Gemeinschaft im Berlin der späten 1930er Jahre vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs eine Stimme. Sein Werk ist mit jüdischen Protagonisten aus Deutschland gespickt, die von der Erinnerung an die Sprache erfasst sind, von der sie sich seit ihrer Emigration nach Palästina in den 1930er Jahren zu lösen versuchen. Ein klassisches Beispiel hierfür ist die Figur des Bernhard in Hoffmanns gleichnamigem Werk. Der folgende Artikel fokussiert die Darstellungsweise und Ausarbeitung von Hoffmanns einzigartigem Werk, dessen Sprache einerseits durch seine tiefe Identifikation mit dem Zen Buddhismus und andererseits durch einen den Autor anziehenden, modernistischen westlichen Stil des Bewusstseinsstroms beeinflusst wurde. In zentralen Teilen seines Werkes stellt Hoffmann seinen gesamten literarischen Textkorpus als einen Typus der expliziten, anspielenden oder aber verborgenen Holocaust-Literatur dar. Er lädt seine Leserschaft und seine Kritiker dazu ein, seine Anspielungen zu dechiffrieren und das Geheimnis seiner Themen aufzudecken. Dies ist eine überraschende Aussage in Bezug auf Hoffmanns Werk und dessen bisherige Analyse. Der Autor stellt den Holocaust als ein kollektives israelisches Trauma dar, für das seine literarische Fiktion einen speziellen Katalog repräsentativer Charaktere erstellt hat. Bei der Erstellung dieses Katalogs, dies insbesondere da er zeitgleich klassifiziert und individualisiert, ähnelt Hoffmanns Projekt dem monumentalen Katalogisierungsprojekt der 1920er Jahre, das von dem gefeierten deutschen Fotografen August Sander (Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts) durchgeführt wurde. Hoffmann bezieht Fotografien aus Sanders Projekt in sein Werk ein und verwendet sogar einige der Abbildungen für die Titelseite seiner Bücher. Der Artikel behandelt die implizite Beziehung zwischen diesen beiden kreativen Künstlern und lässt diesem Aspekt eine Bedeutung zuteil werden, die bislang in der Forschung über Holocaust Themen in Yoel Hoffmanns schriftstellerischem Werk keinen Niederschlag fand.

N2 - The threshold between the XVth and the XVIth Century represents a historical period during which, both for Christians and for Jews, the geopolitical sceneries and the interior horizons radically change. The modified reality provokes new forms of expectation and the need of new historical interpretations. Ferrara, within this scenery, can be considered, as other Italian cases, as a paradigmatic example, a narrow space where phenomena of spiritual and cultural Jewish rebirth can take shape. The permeability between Christian artistic and cultural world and Jewish intellectual production determines a prosperous context, further strengthened by the introduction of Jewish typography and by a growing claim and restoration of social elective dignity among the Jews of the Este Duchy. After the transfer of the capital city from Ferrara to Modena, the indirect effects of this intellectual resurgence are deeply transformed on a social level, and allows us to catch the persistence of important forms of communication between Christians and Jews in everyday life. The introduction of the Inquisition provides us, through the production of the judicial archive, with the most important instrument to understand social dynamics, which allows us to comprehend a new potential interpretation key for the reality of the ghetto and the choice of its erection. The urban division is nothing else but a new attempt to separate the invisible spaces of the thought. The effective efficacy of the physical separation shows several weak points, which persist during the entire life of the ghetto, since 1638 until 1789. N2 - Die Schwelle zwischen dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert stellt eine historische Periode dar, in der sich die geopolitische Landschaft und das innere Blickfeld sowohl für Christen als auch für Juden radikal änderten. Die veränderten Gegebenheiten lösten andere Erwartungen und das Bedürfnis nach neuen historischen Interpretationen aus. In diesem Kontext kann Ferrara, wie auch andere italienische Städte, als ein paradigmatisches Beispiel angesehen werden, als ein begrenzter Raum, in dem das spirituelle und kulturelle Wiederaufleben innerhalb der jüdischen Gesellschaft Gestalt annehmen konnte. Die Durchlässigkeit zwischen der künstlerischen und kulturellen christlichen Welt und jüdisch-intellektuellen Erzeugnissen bedingte ein gedeihendes Umfeld, das zudem durch die Einführung einer jüdischen Typographie und durch wachsende Ansprüche der Juden im Herzogtum der Este bestärkt wurde. Die indirekten Einflüsse auf dieses intellektuelle Wiederaufleben wirkten sich nach der Verlegung der Hauptstadt von Ferrara nach Modena tiefgreifend auf einer sozialen Ebene aus. Sie erlauben uns, das Fortdauern wichtiger Kommunikationsmuster zwischen Christen und Juden im Alltag zu erfassen. Das Einsetzen der Inquisition bietet uns mittels juristischer Archive die wichtigsten Instrumente, um soziale Dynamiken zu verstehen. Diese erlauben uns, neue denkbare Interpretationen als Schlüssel für die Gegebenheiten im Ghetto und für die Gründe seiner Errichtung in Betracht zu ziehen. Die städtische Trennungslinie ist nichts anderes als ein weiterer Versuch, die unsichtbaren Räume der Gedankenwelten voneinander abzugrenzen. Die nachhaltige Wirksamkeit der räumlichen Trennung weist einige Schwachpunkte auf, die während der gesamten Existenzphase des Ghettos von 1638 bis 1789 bestehen blieben.

Originally within the Children as the Actors of Game Cultures research project, our aim was to better understand why particularly young people enjoy playing games, while also asking their parents how they perceive gaming as playing partners or as close observers. Gradually our in-depth interviews started to reveal a complex picture of more general relevance, where personal experiences, social contexts and cultural practices all came together to frame gameplay within something we called game cultures. Culture was the keyword, since we were not interested in studying games and play experiences in isolation, but rather as part of the rich meaning- making practices of lived reality.

The ideas aim to counter the notion that our experience with videogames (and digital media more generally), is largely “virtual” and disembodied – or at most exclusively audiovisual. Notions of the virtual and disembodied support an often-tacit belief that technologically mediated experiences count for nothing if not perceived and valued as human. It is here where play in particular can be put to work, be made to highlight and clarify, for it is in play that we find this value of humanity most wholly embodied. Further, it is in considering the design of the metagame that questions regarding the play experience can be most powerfully engaged. While most of any given game’s metagame emerges from play communities and their larger social worlds (putting it out of reach of game design proper), mobile platforms have the potential to enable a stitching together of these experiences: experiences held across time, space, communities, and bodies. This coming together thus represents a convergence not only of media, participants, contexts, and technologies, but of human experience itself. This coming together is hardly neat, nor fully realized. It is, if nothing else, multifaceted and worthy of further study. It is a convergence in which the dynamics of screen play are reengaged.

To define ‘game’ with the unrealistic ambition of satisfying both lay-people and experts should not be a major concern for a game ontology, since the field it addresses is subject to cultural evolution and diachronic change. Instead of the impossible mission of turning the common word into an analytic concept, a useful task for an ontology of games is to model game differences, to show how the things we call games can be different from each other in a number of different ways.

T1 - Theorizing navigable space in video games JF - DIGAREC Series N2 - Space is understood best through movement, and complex spaces require not only movement but navigation. The theorization of navigable space requires a conceptual representation of space which is adaptable to the great malleability of video game spaces, a malleability which allows for designs which combine spaces with differing dimensionality and even involve non-Euclidean configurations with contingent connectivity. This essay attempts to describe the structural elements of video game space and to define them in such a way so as to make them applicable to all video game spaces, including potential ones still undiscovered, and to provide analytical tools for their comparison and examination. Along with the consideration of space, there will be a brief discussion of navigational logic, which arises from detectable regularities in a spatial structure that allow players to understand and form expectations regarding a game’s spaces.

Bekannt ist die wiederholte Referenz von Darwin auf die Werke Humboldts, insbesondere auf die Tagebücher des deutschen Naturwissenschaftler und seine Art der Beschreibung der amerikanischen Natur in ihrer ganzen Reichhaltigkeit. Weniger bekannt hingegen sind andere Verweise in seiner Autobiografie, sowie die wissenschaftliche Verwendung des Humboldtschen Werkes oder die Zitate in seiner Korrespondenz, die in diesem Beitrag aufgezeigt werden.

Este cruce de miradas nos pone además en el camino de vislumbrar cómo se perciben los sabios entre ellos, si realmente intentan romper con el paradigma establecido por su importante predecesor o simplemente mejoran progresivamente el conocimiento ya elaborado hasta llegar a provocar la ruptura del conocimiento anterior con la elaboración de una teoría genial. Es conocida la continua alusión de Darwin a la obra de Humboldt, especialmente al Diario del naturalista alemán y su forma de describir la naturaleza americana en todo su esplendor, pero no tanto otras citas en su Autobiografía y menos aún el uso científico de su obra o las citas en su correspondencia, que presentamos en este artículo. Asimismo estudiamos el uso de la obra científica temprana de Darwin por Humboldt en algunas de sus publicaciones, especialmente el Cosmos.

A fundamental difference with other media, which is a point of continuous consideration, is the specific relationship between the viewer and the image, the player and the game apparatus, which is a characteristic of video games as a dispositive. Terms such as immersion, participation, interactivity, or ergodic are an indication of the deep interest in this constellation. This paper explores the resonance between body and image in video games like REZ, SOUL CALIBUR and DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION from the perspective of a temporal ontology of the image, taking particular account of the structuring power of the interface and its subject positioning aspects.

When we understand games as abstract code systems, then the narrative logic can be understood as embedded on the code level. With a focus on the player’s performance, the actualization of the possibilities given in the code system is central. Both logics, that of code and that of performance, are reflected in players’ narratives based on the playing experience. They do reflect on the underlying code and rules of the game system as they do reflect on the game world and their own performance within. These narratives rely heavily on the source text – the digital game –, which means that they give insights into the underlying logics of the source text. I will discuss the game structure, the players’ performance while playing the game and the performance of the player after playing the game producing fan narratives. I conceive the narrative structure and the performance of the player playing as necessarily interconnected when we discuss the narrative logics of a game. Producing fan narratives is understood as a performance as well. This performance is based on the experience the players made while playing and refers to both logics of the game they use as their source text.

This essay sets out to suggest some of the elements that are at work in this dualism of games as performative media. The two key elements here are the mediation of the game environment and the transformation of the player through virtual puppetry. Both cases will be argued with a focus on spatiality in performance.

This paper proposes play as another possible perspective. Everyday uses of the computer increasingly show signs of similarity to play. This is not discussed with regard to the so-called media society, the playful society, the growing cultural acceptance of the computer, the spread of computer games or a new version of Windows, but in view of the playful character of interaction with the computer that has always been part of it. The exploratory learning process involved with new software and the creative tasks that are often undertaken when using the computer may support this argument. Together with its high level of interactivity, these observations point to a sense of security, autonomy and freedom of the user that produce play and are, in turn, produced by play. This notion of play refers not to the playing of computer games, but to an implicit, abstract (or symbolic) process based on a certain attitude, the play spirit. This attitude is discussed regarding everyday computer use and related to the other mentioned perspectives.

The logic of interactivity marked the action genre of games in the second place, while in massive multiplayer online gaming all the emergences of the net occur to confront us with just another type of logic. These logics are the media in which the specific forms of computer games evolve. Therefore, a look at gaming supposing that there are three eras of computation is taken: the early synthetical era, ruled by the Turing machine and by mainframe computers, by the IPO principle of computing; the second, mimetical era, when interactivity and graphical user interfaces dominate, the domain of the feedback loop; and the third, emergent era, in which the complexity of networked personal computers and their users is dominant.

The movement through game space can then be described as a vector defined by possibility spaces, which are generated organically out of the interplay between ruled and unruled space. But we can only define rules ex negativo, therefore the possibility of breaking the rules is always already inscribed in this vector of movement. This can be conceptualized as a boundary operation that takes the difference between ‘ordinary life’ and ‘play’ as its argument, and which thus generates the difference between ‘play’ and ‘game’.

Drawing on lessons learned from highway provision in three European countries (Italy, Poland and Spain), five models of highway provision are discussed: public authorities, public enterprises, user clubs, private partnerships or a regulated private market. Three options to regulate the private market are presented: a rate-of-return regulation, a price-cap-regulation and franchise bidding. The main factor that makes private construction and provision expensive are the risk premiums of private companies that are incorporated for political risks. It is argued that the optimal model of highway provision depends on each country-specific situation. This is mainly influenced by the regulatory experience within the country on one hand and by the stage of highway development on the other.

Juli 1999 offiziell den bewaffneten Konflikt in Sierra Leone beendete. Nach einer kurzen Zusammenfassung der allgemeinen Regelungen des Vertrags stellt der Autor die in Artikel 9 des Abkommens vorgesehene Generalamnestie den bindenden Grundsätzen des internationalen Rechts gegenüber. Internationale Verbrechen, wie Völkermord, Kriegsverbrechen oder Folterung sind als Verstoß gegen ius cogens-Normen von allen Staaten zu verfolgen. Nach der Erörterung der betreffenden Konventionen, internationalen Abkommen und Fallentscheidungen des IGH, die diesen Grundsatz festschreiben, beschreibt er den - Friedensprozessen inhärenten - Konflikt, ein Gleichgewicht zwischen notwendiger Versöhnung und strafrechtlicher Verfolgung zu finden. Bei der Betrachtung des Fallrechts schließt Phenyo neuere Entscheidungen ein, wie die des britischen House of Lords im Fall Pinochet, die sowohl nationalen wie internationalen Gerichten das Recht auf Strafverfolgung internationaler Verbrechen zugestand. Stellvertretend für die weite Kritik der Generalamnestie des Lomé-Abkommens zitiert der Autor den VN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan, der die Generalamnestie als unvereinbar mit der Tätigkeit und Aufgabe der internationalen Straftribunale in Den Haag und Arusha sowie des zukünftigen Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes ansieht. Phenyo schließt sich mit seiner kurzen Analyse des Friedensabkommens der kritischen Haltung Annans an und sieht nur eine geringe Möglichkeit für die Durchsetzung der fraglichen Amnestie, deren Gültigkeit durch die wiederaufgeflammten Kämpfe in Sierra Leone auch faktisch in Frage gestellt worden sind.

Many survivors broke up their contacts with Jewry. They often decided to join the communist party (either due to their conviction or opportunism.) Our research has indicated that for the majority of the Slovak Jews, God after the Holocaust is rather an abstract concept or non existing.

N2 - The article is a study research that attempts to reconstitute one facet of the Jewish cultural history, represented by the Jewish typographical activity in a geographic and historic context, i.e. North Transylvania at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The core of the study is represented by a detailed research of the typographical activity of Jacov Wieder’s printing house that he had set up in 1897 at Seini, a small locality in the county of Satu Mare. Wieder’s printing house, where some 150 Hebrew book titles were printed, was activated alongside with some other 20 Hebrew printing houses of the same county until 1944. The Hebrew books printed at Seini are thoroughly examined from the point of view of their subject and authors. The high technical quality of the print of Wieder’s printing house and not less the prestige of the authors contributed to its fame and reputation. The books were distributed throughout the world and reached the Jewish communities from countries in the immediate proximity Eastern, Central and Western Europe and even North America and the Land of Israel. N2 - Der Artikel ist eine Forschungsarbeit, die eine Facette der jüdischen Kulturgeschichte beleuchtet, welche durch die jüdisch-typographische Aktivität in ihrem geographischen und historischen Kontext repräsentiert wird. In diesem Fall bezieht es sich auf den Norden Transsylvaniens an der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert. Der Kern dieser Studie ist eine Detailuntersuchung, die sich der typographischen Aktivität des Verlags von Jacov Wieder widmet. Wieder gründete den Verlag 1897 in Seini, einer kleinen Ortschaft in der Region Satu Mare. Der Wieder Verlag, in dem an die 150 hebräische Titel gedruckt wurden, bestand neben circa 20 anderen hebräischen Verlagshäusern im selben Bezirk bis 1944. Die hebräischen Bücher, die in Seini gedruckt wurden, werden in Bezug auf ihre Inhalte und die Autoren sorgfältig untersucht. Die hohe technische Qualität der Druckerzeugnisse des Wieder Verlags und nicht zuletzt das Prestige der Autoren trugen zu seinem Ruhm und seiner Reputation bei. Die Bücher wurden in der ganzen Welt verbreitet und erreichten jüdische Gemeinden in vielen Ländern Ost(mittel)europas, Westeuropas und sogar Nordamerika und in Eretz Israel.

N2 - The Mariae Vitae Congregation was the first and possibly the most important missionary institution in Poland-Lithuania in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. According to the Rule of Mariae Vitae Congregation, it had to deal with religious and lay education of converted girls (mainly Jewish) and provide them with practical skills of work so they could establish in Catholic society. The innovatory social program of Mariae Vitae Congregation including education and financial help answered to possible problems of neophytes in Poland and Lithuania of that time. N2 - Die Maria Vitae Ordensgemeinschaft war die erste und vermutlich wichtigste Missionsinstitution im polnisch-litauischen Gebiet des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts. Gemäß ihrer Regeln war die Mariae Vitae Ordensgemeinschaft in der religiösen und Laienbildung von (vor allem jüdischen) konvertierten Mädchen tätig. Sie ließ ihnen praktische Arbeitsfähigkeiten angedeihen, damit sie sich in der katholischen Gesellschaft etablieren konnten. Das neuerungsträchtige Sozialprogramm der Mariae Vitae Ordensgemeinschaft, das finanzielle und Bildungshilfe miteinschloß, gab Antworten auf mögliche Probleme von für jüngst Konvertierte in Polen und Litauen dieser Zeit.

N2 - In the early modern period, Jewish historiography moved from the Hebrew domain into the Yiddish one. Jewish writers have succeeded to match the historical literature to the particular needs of their audience. The most popular Yiddish chronicle of this kind was written in Amsterdam in the 18th century by Menachem Man Amelander, following both the Jewish and Christian genre. This paper briefly surveys the genre characteristics of this chronicle and the way it served the purpose of guarding Jewish memory and tradition.

Jüdische Autoren gelang es, die historische Literatur an die besonderen Bedürfnisse ihres Publikums anzupassen. Die bekannteste jiddische Chronik dieser Art wurde im 18. Jahrhundert von Menachem Man Amelander in Amsterdam verfasst, der für sein Werk sowohl Elemente des jüdischen als auch des christlichen Genres entlehnte. Dieser Artikel umreißt zunächst die Genre- Merkmale dieser Chronik. Weiterhin wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie diese Schrift ihrem Zweck diente, jüdische Erinnerung und Tradition zu bewahren.

N2 - Shifra was a Jewish businesswoman in Moravia in the fifteenth-century. In 1452 due to financial fraud she was arrested in Brno. Her life was saved by some members of the local Jewish community, who renounced their financial claims against their Christian neighbours in the exchange of Shifra’s life. However, one member of the community consented to the agreement only on condition that the other members would pay his losses. The case was extensively discussed in the correspondence of contemporary rabbis, among them Israel Bruna and Israel Isserlein. Their letters about the Shifra-affair reveal some important characteristics of the rabbinic authority in the late medieval Ashkenaz. N2 - Schifra war eine jüdische Geschäftsfrau in Mähren im 15. Jahrhundert. Im Jahr 1452 wurde sie wegen Steuerhinterziehung in Brno inhaftiert. Ihr Leben wurde von einigen Mitgliedern der lokalen jüdischen Gemeinde gerettet, die im Gegenzug zu Schifras Leben auf ihre finanziellen Ansprüche gegenüber ihren christlichen Nachbarn verzichteten. Ein Mitglied der Gemeinde willigte der Abmachung nur unter der Bedingung ein, dass die anderen Mitglieder im Gegenzug dazu seine finanziellen Einbußen begleichen werden. Dieser Fall wurde sehr intensiv in den Korrespondenzen zeitgenösssischer Rabbiner, unter ihnen Israel Bruna und Israel Isserlein, diskutiert. Ihre Briefe über die Schifra-Affäre lassen einige wichtige Charakteristika rabbinischer Autoritäten im spätmittelalterlichen Aschkenaz erkennen.

N2 - The issue of determining the time, when the Judaic communities have settled on Romanian land, is one of the most interesting and most delicate details that can be mentioned when talking about this ethnic group. The presence of the first Jewish communities in ancient times on this land was a “taboo” subject during many historical periods until 1989, but even after this year, studies oriented in this direction were more than sketchy. The article does not only bring a surplus of information in this domain, but manages to concentrate – almost didactically – the information and the archaeological proofs known and reknown to the present time. There are depicted material evidences as well as linguistic ones, toponymical and even religious. Also, the author tries to draw a parallel between some layouts of the Dacian state and Dacia Felix, conquered by the Romans, and the presence of some Judaic communities, not very numerous, made out of Judaic population who came together with the Roman conqueror. N2 - Den Zeitraum zu bestimmen, in dem sich jüdische Gemeinschaften im rumänischen Gebiet niedergelassen haben, ist eine der interessantesten und schwierigsten Detailfragen, die angeschnitten werden können, wenn man über diese ethnische Gruppe spricht. Die Präsenz erster jüdischer Gemeinschaften in dieser Gegend in der Antike war in vielen historischen Phasen bis 1989 ein „Tabu”, aber auch nach 1989 blieben Untersuchungen zu dieser Frage mehr als skizzenhaft. Der Artikel leistet nicht nur einen informativen Mehrwert in diesem Forschungsfeld, sondern konzentriert – fast didaktisch – Informationen und archäologische Belege, die heute (wieder) bekannt sind. Er enthält sowohl anschauliche materielle, als auch linguistische, toponymische und sogar religiöse Belege. Der Autor ist weiterhin darum bemüht, eine Parallele zwischen einigen Anlagen des Dakerreiches sowie Dacia Felix aufzuzeigen, die von den Römern erobert wurden. Zudem wird auf die Präsenz einiger jüdischer Gemeinschaften hingewiesen, die nicht sehr zahlreich waren und die aus einer jüdischen Bevölkerung bestanden, die sich im Zuge der römischen Eroberung angesiedelt hatte.

The country lies in-between two conflict foci, the former Yugoslav space and the former Soviet Union, were the Transnistrian conflict has a direct bearing on the Romanian population of the Republic of Moldova. Both conflicts have been triggered by ethnic tensions augmented by the fall of the communist regime and the assertion of national identity. Within this geostrategic context, Romania is an island of stability, with a broad political openness to the European and Euro-Atlantic structures of cooperation, its participating in potential crisis situations in terms of EU and NATO demands. Taking advantage of the country’s geographical and geostrategic position after 1918, basically at the cross-roads and interaction of the Central-European, Balkan and East-European countries (Austro-Hungary,Turkey and the Slav states, and Russia and Ukraine, respectively), Romanian geopolitics would focus on the national factor, on the nation and the national state.

Still, video games with content that is deemed unsuitable for children are played even by young children. With a focus on the situation in Germany the aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, the current state of literature on the importance of age ratings for the regulation of video games is scrutinized. Therefore, the focus is on the German rating system by the Entertainment Software Self Control. This scheme is compared in particular to the American Entertainment Software Rating Board scheme and parallels with the Pan-European Game Information-system are drawn. On the other hand, results from an exploratory survey study on the preferences for video games among German 8 to 12 year olds are presented (N=1703), arguing that the preference for video games that are not suitable for them is a widespread phenomenon in particular among boys.

Statistics of all kinds play a crucial part in establishing the normal. Computers, on the other hand, have a very close connection to statistics as the digital world is a statistical one in itself. In a multitude of games statistics are used as an element of gameplay. In this perspective, games can be regarded as a training in self-normalization.

These insights are applied to situate digital play in terms of affective labor, and conclude with a summary analysis of the gestural-technical stylistics of the Wii. The result is that interaction stylistics become comparable across an array of home networking devices, providing a gloss, in terms of affect, of the “simple enjoyment” Nintendo designers claim characterizes use of the Wii-console and its complex controllers.

This calls for a categorical approach that defines the condition of possible actions that are determined by the program, but that can only be perceived as aesthetic features.
