Reflexion wird in diesem Artikel als Rückmeldung (Feedback) zu einem Sprachlernstand begriffen. Es soll anhand eines Fallbeispiels (IRF-Sequenz) aus dem Unterricht Deutsch als Zweitsprache (DaZ) der Frage nachgegangen werden, wie sich die Feedback-Interaktion gestaltet und inwiefern sich ihr Gelingen oder Misslingen erklären lässt. Dazu wird die evidenzbasierte Forschung zum effektiven Feedback nach Hattie (u. a. Hattie 2020; Hattie & Zierer 2020; Wisniewski & Zierer 2018) in die Analyse einbezogen. Zu wissen, welche Wirkung Feedbacks erzielen, hilft (angehenden) Lehrer:innen, das eigene Handeln zu reflektieren.
An Oscar M. Lieber (1830-1862) wird bis heute meist im Zusammenhang mit seinem Vater, Francis Lieber, erinnert, der als Publizist einer der einflussreichsten Deutsch-Amerikanern seiner Zeit war. Aber auch Oscar hatte eine bemerkenswerte Karriere in den Vereinigten Staaten. Nach intensiven Studien in Berlin, Göttingen und Freiberg wurde er ein erfolgreicher und produktiver Geologe. Der Aufsatz erinnert insbesondere an die Hilfe, die O. Lieber durch den langjährigen Freund des Vaters, Alexander von Humboldt, erfuhr.An Oscar M.

Friedrich Wilhelm III., seit 1797 König von Preußen, garantierte am 19. November 1805 dem 36-jährigen Humboldt eine Pension von jährlich 2.500 Talern. Nur wenige Tage danach ernannte er ihn zu seinem Kammerherrn. Was Humboldt nicht ahnen konnte war, dass dieser Dienst 54 Jahre währen sollte. Bärbel Holtz beschreibt die bisher wenig untersuchte Beziehung des Monarchen zum Forschungsreisenden.
„Blame it on the Russians“
(2019)
Die Geschichte der Mikrobiologie als Laborwissenschaft des späten 19. Jahrhunderts hat für Ehrenberg keinen Platz. Unmodern, ja fehlerhaft scheinen die Befunde dieses „Humboldt en miniature“, der die Belebtheit von Wasser oder Luft mikroskopisch untersuchte, der Proben aus aller Welt sammelte und so zahlreiche „Infusorien“ genannte Mikroben sowie deren Effekte etwa bei Blutwundern beschrieb, deren Beteiligung an Infektionskrankheiten aber verneinte. Zugleich scheint sein ökologischer Blick auf den Mikrokosmos die Gegenwart auf überraschende Weise anzusprechen – einerseits weil Mikroben omnipräsentes Faszinosum wie Bedrohung bleiben, andererseits weil viele der Prämissen von Pasteur und Koch im Zeitalter der Genomik überholt erscheinen. Ausgehend von der zwiespältigen Position Ehrenbergs fragt dieser Artikel, warum er möglicherweise gerade deswegen spannender ist, als ihn die Historiographie bislang hat erscheinen lassen.
„Auf engstem Raum“
(2018)
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.
My essay attends to a number of passages in Alexander von Humboldt’s Personal Narrative in which the Prussian explorer expresses anxiety about the apparent dangers posed by the overwhelmingly productive tropical landscapes he observes. In these passages, the excesses of an “exotic nature” threaten European identity and modes of civilization—and they trouble the accuracy of Humboldt’s own observational project. I also explore Humboldt’s related worry that South American vegetable (and visual) overload will exert a destabilizing effect on his aesthetic sensibility, disrupting his ability to represent the “New Continent” accurately in writing. Finally, I sketch the influence of Humboldt’s representations of tropical excess on nineteenth-century British cultural thought and literary practice. Studying the instabilities experienced by Personal Narrative’s expatriates and colonists promises to draw out important tensions latent in Humboldt’s treatment of tropical landscape and to illuminate broader epistemological and aesthetic shifts being worked out during the period.
“One video fit for all”
(2023)
Online learning in mathematics has always been challenging, especially for mathematics in STEM education. This paper presents how to make “one fit for all” lecture videos for mathematics in STEM education. In general, we do believe that there is no such thing as “one fit for all” video. The curriculum requires a high level of prior knowledge in mathematics from high school to get a good understanding, and the variation of prior knowledge levels among STEM education students is often high. This creates challenges for both online teaching and on-campus teaching. This article presents experimenting and researching on a video format where students can get a real-time feeling, and which fits their needs regarding their existing prior knowledge. They have the possibility to ask and receive answers during the video without having to feel that they must jump into different sources, which helps to reduce unnecessary distractions. The fundamental video format presented here is that of dynamic branching videos, which has to little degree been researched in education related studies. The reason might be that this field is quite new for higher education, and there is relatively high requirement on the video editing skills from the teachers’ side considering the platforms that are available so far. The videos are implemented for engineering students who take the Linear Algebra course at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in spring 2023. Feedback from the students gathered via anonymous surveys so far (N = 21) is very positive. With the high suitability for online teaching, this video format might lead the trend of online learning in the future. The design and implementation of dynamic videos in mathematics in higher education was presented for the first time at the EMOOCs conference 2023.
In 1810, Moses Lackenbacher, together with two of his children, Israel and Heinrich, and Moses Löwenstein created the company “Moses Lackenbacher & Compagnie” with headquarters in Nagykanizsa and a branch in Vienna. The main profile of the company was army purveyance. The business activity resulted in a high spatial mobility which led to socio-cultural acculturation and conversions to Christianity within the kinship. This paper explores the connection between kinship and the operation of the company on the basis of the prominent yet little-researched Lackenbachers in the early 19th-century Habsburg Monarchy. Central questions are how the relatives organized a company during the Napoleonic wars, as well as the impact of operating a business; how familial bonds and kinship links were affected, and, in this context, how relatives together evolved into a multi-religious network of kinship.
“Mason without apron”
(2019)
While the lack of religion in Alexander von Humboldt’s work and the criticism he received is well known, his relationship with Freemasonry is relatively unexplored. Humboldt appears on some lists of “illustrious Masons,” and several lodges carry his name, but was he really a member? If so, when and where did he join a lodge? Are there any comments by him about Freemasonry? Who were the renowned Masons he was surrounded by? This paper examines these questions, but more importantly it analyzes what a membership might have meant for Humboldt’s scholarly work. It looks particularly at the unprecedented success he enjoyed in the United States in the early 19th century and the factors behind it. What could he have gained from these connections and how was he viewed by Masonic leaders and lodges in the trans-Atlantic world?
“Israel am Meere”
(2023)
For Jews in Germany, the period following the Nazis’ rise to power in January 1933 was a period of decision-making on many levels: How should they respond to the persecution? If they decided to emigrate, many more decisions had to be made: How does one leave a country, and where should one go? A key moment in the process and in the cultural practice of emigration is the beginning of the sea voyage – when the need for departure and the hope for a new arrival jointly create a period of liminality. Looking at reports from sea voyages of exploration and emigration from the 1930s, this contribution discusses the question whether, and in what ways, such reflections can be read in the context of religious experiences and in the search for Jewish identities in times of turmoil.
“I mean, no soy psicóloga”
(2019)
This paper is concerned with the qualitative analysis of the use of the English discourse marker I mean in Spanish and Portuguese online discourses (in online fora, blogs or user comments on websites). The examples are retrieved from the Corpus del Español (Web/ Dialects) as well as the Corpus do Português (Web/ Dialects).
Los estudios del viaje se centran en las experiencias, publicaciones y aportes científicos de Humboldt. El artículo estudia la situación política española en 1799, la posición y el influjo del poderoso ministro Urquijo, cuya caída y sus eventuales consecuencias en territorios americanos, son mencionados en forma pasajera y preocupada por Humboldt. Se transcribe el inusual registro de Humboldt como pasajero de la corbeta Castor, con detalles, algunos tergiversados, sobre el influjo de Georg Forster en su formación, su continuado empleo prusiano, su avance hacia territorio portugués y las dudas por la velocidad del viaje. Estos datos, junto con algunas críticas en Quito, contemporáneas y posteriores, así como problemas de al menos dos de sus interlocutores con la Inquisición limeña, ofrecen una “mirada americana”, ciertamente parcial, a Humboldt y explican, posiblemente, los pocos datos y la percepción negativa de su estadía en Lima.
In a letter dated August 6, 1797 to his friend Christian Gottfried Körner, Friedrich Schiller characterized Alexander von Humboldt as a person of limited imagination, who, in spite of his numerous activities, would never be able to achieve greatness in his scientific pursuits. Yet, only in 1849 did Humboldt learn of Schiller’s opinion from the published correspondence between Schiller and Körner. Nonetheless, Humboldt declared that this basically unjust characterization of himself by Schiller would never prevent him from admiring the great German playwright and poet; moreover, Humboldt looked for comfort in a similarly harsh opinion of Johann Gottfried Herder also expressed by Schiller. In the end, Humboldt could barely conceal his feelings of disappointment regarding Schiller’s opinion, especially because Humboldt had considered Schiller to be his friend.
“Creating a Maritime Future”
(2023)
This article explores the importance of the port city of Hamburg in the evolving discourses on the creation of a maritime future, a vision which became influential in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. While some Jewish representatives in the city aimed at preserving and intertwining Hanseatic and Jewish traditions in order to secure a Jewish presence in the port city under the pressure of the Nazi regime and thereafter, others wanted to create new emigration opportunities, especially to Mandatory Palestine, and create a Jewish maritime future in Eretz Israel. Different Zionist organizations supported the newly evolving maritime ideas, such as the “conquest of the sea”, and promoted the image of a Jewish seafaring nation. Despite the difficulties in the 1940s, these concepts gained influence post-1945 and led to the foundation of the fishery kibbutz “Zerubavel” in Blankenese/Hamburg. However, the idea of a Hanseatic Jewish future also remained influential and illustrates how differently a “Jewish maritime future” was imagined and used to link past, present and future.
Im Jahr 1836 traf der US-amerikanische Geistliche und Sammler historischer Dokumente William B. Sprague (1795–1876) während seines zweiten Europabesuches auch mit Alexander von Humboldt in Berlin zusammen. Im Verlaufe des Gespräches zeigte sich Humboldt mit den politischen Entwicklungen in den Vereinigten Staaten bestens vertraut. Er kritisierte das Sklavensystem, räumte aber auch ein, dass er viele Aspekte der amerikanischen Demokratie bewunderte.
A number of special purpose vessels in the world carried or carry the name of Alexander von Humboldt, who had substantial interests in oceanography. However, most of his marine texts are scattered over his major works, and he never finished his manuscript on ocean circulation. But there is a general agreement that A. v. Humboldt was one of the pioneers of marine sciences. He made his own observations on the sailing vessels he used on his expedition to the Neotropics, mainly concerning sea surface temperatures. In 2002 there was a discussion in Germany about the name of a new research vessel which is going to be commissioned in the summer of 2004. It was suggested by the science community to take the name of „Alexander von Humboldt“ again, as the new vessel is replacing a medium-sized ship with this name operated now by the Baltic Sea Research Institute in Rostock-Warnemünde. This vessel has been in service from 1970 to 1990 for the Academy of Sciences of the former German Democratic Republic. The first German research vessel „Alexander von Humboldt“ was a fishing trawler (1939). Furthermore, Peru and Mexico operate research vessels bearing Humboldt’s name. The best known „Alexander von Humboldt“ is an ocean going sailing ship of the International Sail Training Association, based in Bremen. She is engaged in educational programmes and went the South America in 1999 following Humboldt’s route. Thus, Humboldt’s marine legacy is preserved. The proposal to use the undisputed name of this great all-round scientist for the new German vessel under construction now was not successful. A high-ranking jury decided to prefer “Maria Sibylla Merian” (1647-1717), which was suggested by a young student in a nation-wide competition to find a name. As Humboldt 100 years later, she went to South America to study plants and other fields of natural history.
La relación de viaje de Alejandro de Humboldt sobre América desafía las definiciones genéricas: es un complejo híbrido de diversos discursos científicos, documentaciones de datos empíricos, diario personal y formas tradicionales de la narrativa de viaje. La poética de Humboldt socava específicamente el formato convencional de una relación de viaje. Todos sus elementos centrales, aquéllos que podrían otorgar coherencia al texto, están cargados de múltiples significados que lo desestabilizan: (1) el sujeto (viajero, autor, narrador, firma, pronombres personales), (2) el objeto (los países que, supuestamente, la relación de viaje debe tematizar, las formas variadas y contradictorias de la descripción y la denominación en el texto), (3) el destinatario (tanto lo explícitamente narrado como el lector implícito y la comunidad de interpretación) y, finalmente, (4) el texto en sí mismo (como género literario o fenómeno discursivo, su formato, su polifonía, su autorreferencialidad y su autorreflexión). Un análisis narratológico y una lectura estructural del texto nos llevan a preguntarnos cómo la poética de Humboldt refleja su aproximación a la diferencia cultural. El modo específico de la deconstrucción de la relación de viaje que funciona aquí, desautoriza las formas imperiales de la escritura colonial. No hay "identidades" ni "diferencias" que puedan ser definidas inequívocamente desde una perspectiva privilegiada.

ה"חוק" וה"טבע" בברית המילה
(2015)
בפתח מאמר זה נידון המונח המקראי "חוק" (כבכתוב: אִם בְּחֻקֹּתַי תֵּלֵכוּ". ויקרא כו, ג-ד) באמצעות הצגת נקודות המבט השונות של החכמים הדנים בכך במדרש הארצישראלי "ויקרא רבה".
בחלקו השני של המאמר נידון המקרה הספציפי של מצוות ברית המילה - כדוגמא קלאסית למצווה המכונה בפי החכמים "חוק".
המאמר דן בטעמים השונים שניתנו למצווה זו (כולל אלו שהועלו בתקופה המודרנית ברוח ההסברים האנתרופולוגיים והפסיכואנליטיים); ובסיומו של הדיון מועלה לדיון ויכוח - מקורי עד כמה שניתן לשער - שנשתמר בתלמוד, בין חכם ארצישראלי בן מאה השלישית, רבי עקיבא, ובין רומאי בשם טורנוסרופוס (או טוניוס רופוס) המייצג את תפיסת ה"טבע" הרומית.
האחרון מתקיף את רבי עקיבא בנוגע לברית המילה בטענה שהיהודים מטילים בברית המילה מום בגוף התינוק. תשובת רבי עקיבא מנותחת מנקודת הראות המתמקדת במתח שבין "טבע"
