TY - JOUR A1 - Albeck-Gidron, Rachel T1 - The Holocaust as a Changing Presence in Yoel Hoffmann’s Texts JF - PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung für Jüdische Studien e.V. 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.

BT - Some remarks on game ontologies JF - DIGAREC Series N2 - Academic language should not be a ghetto dialect at odds with ordinary language, but rather an extension that is compatible with lay-language. 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.

Jahrhunderts, wird detailliert auf den verschiedenen Ebenen ihres Kontaktes analysiert, sowohl was das real stattgefundene persönliche Treffen betrifft, als auch hinsichtlich ihrer Korrespondenz und der Koinzidenz von Ideen. Dieser wechselseitige Blick zeigt uns wie sich die beiden Gelehrten gegenseitig wahrnahmen, ob sie wirklich versuchten, mit dem Paradigma ihrer bedeutenden Vorgänger zu brechen, oder ob sie lediglich schrittweise das bereits erlangte Wissen erweiterten, bis es durch die Erstellung einer genialen Idee zu einem Bruch des bisherigen Wissens kommt. 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. Darüber hinaus wird die Verwendung der frühen Schriften von Darwin durch Humboldt in einigen seiner Publikationen, vor allem im Kosmos, erwähnt.

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.

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.

N2 - The article explores the pedagogical dimension of contemporary visual art which takes the Holocaust as a main subject of representation. It asks how a work of art can offer a viable alternative to the already existing methods or practices of Holocaust education, whose traditional aim is to endow the apprentice with an ‘absolute knowledge’ of the Holocaust. The article analyzes the characteristics and the effectiveness of a ‘performative’ approach to teaching about the Holocaust, which relies on an element of interaction and on critical self-reflection, by undertaking a close analysis of Your Coloring Book, – an art installation created by Israeli artist and representative of the third generation after the Holocaust, Ram Katzir. N2 - Im Artikel wird die pädagogische Dimension jener zeitgenössischen Kunst untersucht, die sich dem Holocaust als künstlerischem Hauptthema widmet. Der Beitrag fragt danach, wie ein Kunstwerk eine gangbare Alternative zu den bereits existierenden Methoden der Holocaust-Bildung darstellen kann, deren traditionelles Ziel es ist, den Lernenden mit einem 'absoluten Wissen' über den Holocaust auszustatten. Die Besonderheiten und Wirkungsweise einer 'performativen' Herangehensweise, den Holocaust auf Interaktion und kritischer Selbstreflektion basierend zu unterrichten, werden dargestellt. Dies geschieht anhand einer genauen Analyse von Your Coloring Book einer Kunstinstallation des israelischen Künstlers und Vertreters der Dritten Generation Ram Katzir.

N2 - This study deals with the impacts of the Holocaust on the identity of the Jewish community in Slovakia. The author is interested in the question (whether and) in which form God remained among the survivors after Auschwitz. The available ethnological material has shown that suffering during the Holocaust often resulted into abandoning the religion, and particularly in Judaism. 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. However, he is definitely not the biblical God of the Tora and micvot, to which our ancestors used to pray. N2 - In dieser Studie wird die Wirkung des Holocausts auf die Identität der jüdischen Gemeinschaft in der Slowakei thematisiert. Der Autor ist an der Frage interessiert, ob und falls ja in welcher Form der Glaube an die Existenz Gottes nach Auschwitz unter den Überlebenden fortbestand. Die verfügbaren ethnologischen Materialien haben gezeigt, dass das Leiden während des Holocausts oft das Ablegen der Religion, insbesondere der jüdischen, zur Folge hatte. Viele Überlebende brachen den Kontakt zum Judentum ab. Sie entschlossen sich oftmals, – entweder aus Überzeugung oder aus Opportunismus – der Kommunistischen Partei beizutreten. Die hier vorgestellte Forschungsarbeit weist darauf hin, dass für die Mehrheit der slowakischen Juden Gott nach dem Holocaust entweder ein abstraktes Konzept ist oder Gott nicht existiert. So ist er definitiv nicht der biblische Gott der Torah und der Mizwot, zu dem unsere Vorfahren gebetet haben.

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 - 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.

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.
