Abstract:

This article discusses bizarre facts and news emerge as events of digital cultures. Made with, coming from, as well as being glocal biopolitical tensions and communication, they become communication themselves and reveal new values and contemporary traces – the very same that shape them as mediabodies, i.e., each and every one of those events manifests a trans glocal matter. Reverberating on crossed dimensions, in the Mediabody Theory the concept of ”body” is a system of constant dialogues with environments in which human bodies take a part, but are not the central agents anymore. The absurd congruences above are mediabodies of an ongoing flux of changes.

Abstract:

Abstract Absurdist accounts of life’s meaning posit that life is absurd because our pretensions regarding its meaning conflict with the actual or perceived reality of the situation. Relationary accounts posit that contingent things gain their meaning only from their relationship to other meaningful things. I take a detailed look at the two types of account, and, proceeding under the assumption that they are correct, combine them to see what the implications of such a combination might be. I conclude that another way of looking at the absurdity of life is to see it as a conflict between our dual beliefs that there exist intrinsically meaningful contingent things, and that contingent things may only gain their meaning extrinsically through their relationships to other meaningful things. In this way, I provide another lens through which feelings of life’s absurdity may be interpreted and analysed: as the conflict between the simultaneous beliefs in both intrinsically and relationally meaningful contingent things. Looking through this lens gives us an entirely different framework for analysing life’s absurdity than that which Nagel described in 1971, providing opportunity for more potential avenues of analysis and discussion.

Abstract:

The position advocated in the target article should be called “absurd environmentalism.” Literature showing that general intelligence is related to musical ability is not cited. Also ignored is the heritability of musical talent. Retrospective studies supporting practice over talent are incapable of showing differences in talent, because subjects are self-selected on talent. Reasons for the popularity of absurd environmentalism are discussed.

Abstract:

Matthew L. Reznicek, “Absurd Speculations: The Tragedy of Development in Maria Edgeworth’s Ormond” (pp. 291–314) This essay explores shared concerns regarding the representation of economic development that occurs in Maria Edgeworth’s Irish bildungsromanOrmond (1817) and in Johann Wolfang von Goethe’s two-part tragic retelling of the Faust myth (1808, 1832), building on recent interest in the representation of money in literature from the romantic period. While these two literary works are often seen as foundational texts in their respective national literatures, they both also explore the damning effects of economic and social development, especially through the medium of paper money. To this end, I examine the representation of paper money in Goethe’s Faust Part Two and of the capitalist ventures of Sir Ulick O’Shane in Ormond in order to situate more firmly Edgeworth’s writing within the broad European literary and social landscape. By focusing on the tragic representation of modernizing economics in these two works, it becomes obvious that Edgeworth, like Goethe, participates in and advances the formation of a modern world.

Abstract:

I believe that the concept of the absurd, as described in philosophy and reflected in works of drama and literature, provides an unusual and helpful perspective from which to view the emerging field of digital media. In my opinion, absurd principles can help us understand the mixed feelings we may have when engaging with digital media: joy and frustration, play and despair, significance and nonsense. I intend to explore the concept of the absurd through a handful of authors and works, including the philosophy of Camus and the literature and drama of Pinter, Beckett, Roussel, and the Oulipo. I will use these works to analyze characteristics of absurdist works and then extend this analysis to characteristics and theory of digital media. I believe an absurdist analysis may bring a new vantage point to the study of digital media, from which we can see not only the advantages and liberation it offers but also the ever-present threat of nonsense it entails.

Abstract:

While the absurd is usually associated with the modern subject, it is the purpose of this project to show how it is still relevant today. The concepts of end times, ecological disaster, and post-democracy are pressing concerns of the new millennium that emphasise the futility of being and a lack of political agency. Absurdity describes a similar condition, the feeling of purposelessness that results from the observation that life has no inherent meaning. A fundamentally modern condition of religious dispossession, this feeling is predominantly frustration, since it is impossible to determine the meaning of life through reason. In these cases, crisis seems unavoidable, insurmountable, and permanent, and these attitudes can be observed in works of art since modernism. The thesis aims to define the absurd by the special examination of works closely associated with the concept, which will allow the identification of a specific literary and artistic tradition originating in the nineteenth century and continuing to the present. This is achieved through the rigorous examination of works by Søren Kierkegaard, Albert Camus, Michel Houellebecq, and Bruce Nauman. Despite the fact that works reflecting the absurd respond to distinct historical conditions, they all express frustration at the limitations of human agency, and the incomprehensibility of life.

Abstract:

In my thesis, I propose a theory that posits a connection between our absurd existential situation and our comic tendencies. I work within a framework of existentialist assumptions, the most important of which being the assumption that, as Sartre writes, "man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself." Consequently, I focus on the process of how human beings use humor to form themselves by using it to form their conception of reality. What I propose in my thesis is not an explanation of humor as much as it is an existential interpretation of its source and function. I begin with an analysis of the absurd. After considering and rejecting the arguments against the claim that life is not absurd, I argue that the disunity that we encounter in the world creates a need within us for stability and that one of the main ways in which we find this stability is through the comic. I use Berger and Luckmann's analysis of reality construction in my argument that the connections that we form with others through comical experiences construct and maintain a system of knowledge that satisfies what Camus calls our "nostalgia for unity," a desire that remains unfulfilled when we attempt to encounter the absurdity of human experience alone. The conclusion of my research is that it is through our laughing with others that we reify our expectations of reality. Our laughter at the objects that contradict our normative understanding of reality confirms that others share the same cognitive and affective position that we hold in a given situation, thus confirming our expectations of reality to be valid, a confirmation that protects us against the terror of the absurd.

Abstract:

Absurd literature originated and was developed in the middle of the 20 th century in the West. The brightest representatives of this type of literature are Albert Camus, Eugene Ionesco, Samuel Becket and others. In their works they raised the problem of meaninglessness of human existence, loneliness of an individual and man’s inability to communicate with other people. Are these absurd literature ideas topical issues in contemporary Lithuanian literature? The poetics of Absurd literature in Lithuanian literature practically has not been researched. One reason might have been that there has not been pure Lithuanian literature of the Absurd, except for perhaps Kostas Ostrauskas’s plays. The other reason is probably the fact that the manifestation of absurd literature is often accepted as an ironic, humorous and not very serious text component. This paper deals with a collection of poems and fiction called „Prisimynimai“ by Juozas Erlickas, National Prize Laureate. The main intention of the paper is to prove that an absurd attitude of mind is not alien to Lithuanian literature. The main characters of J. Erlickas’s works feel inactive, pessimistic, they do not see meaning in life, try to avoid contact with the surrounding world. This makes them very similar to the classical absurd literature characters, who are also constantly troubled by boredom and a sense of aimlessness. One of the main themes in Erlickas’s works is a theme of human alienation, which is expanded by the writer... [to full text]

Full text

Abstract:

Equilibrium assumptions posit relations between different people's beliefs and behavior without describing a process that causes these relations to hold. I show that because equilibrium models do not describe a causal process whereby one endogenous variable affects another, attempts to decompose the effects of shocks into “direct” and “indirect” effects can suggest misleading predictions about how these models work. Equilibrium assumptions also imply absurd paradoxes: history can determine future behavior without affecting any intervening state variables today; individuals can learn information that no one originally possesses by observing each other’s actions. This makes equilibrium models unreliable tools to study how economic systems coordinate activity and aggregate dispersed information. I describe how to construct non-equilibrium models that avoid these paradoxes and can be interpreted causally.

This presentation was created for the Seminar: Brainstorming Session: The Political Economy of Productivity: Actors, Arenas, and Policymaking. This discussion includes the point that changes of nominal constitutions do not affect growth as long as the constitutional provisions are observed. In order for institutional growth to occur, institutions must absorb conflicts and process them according to rules. A strategic analysis is needed in order to observe whether the "Strucutre, absorb, regulate" strategy is effective and/or possible and to determine the mechanisms of effect on growth.

Abstract:

Gutes wissenschaftliches Arbeiten: Wieso? Weshalb? Warum? Ein Universitätsstudium bedeutet vielfach Selbststudium: eigenständiges Recherchieren und Aufbereiten von Informationen sowie die Vermittlung dieser Informationen und gegebenenfalls eigener Erkenntnisse in schriftlicher oder mündlicher Form. Der vorliegende Leitfaden bietet dabei eine Hilfestellung. Zum einen werden Tipps für ein effizientes und erfolgreiches Studium vorgestellt und zum anderen formale Anforderungen an gutes wissenschaftliches Arbeiten erläutert und begründet. Viele der vorgestellten Techniken und Methoden werden Sie auch bei Praktika, ehrenamtlichen Tätigkeiten oder im Berufsleben nutzen können. Der erste Teil widmet sich der Recherche. Die Literatur- und Quellensuche ist eine Voraussetzung für jede wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Ziel ist es, relevante Literatur und (Daten-)Quellen für die Bearbeitung einer Fragestellung im vorgegebenen zeitlichen Rahmen möglichst vollständig zu erfassen. Anschließend müssen aus den verfügbaren Informationen diejenigen ausgewählt werden, die sowohl hinsichtlich ihrer Qualität als auch ihrer inhaltlichen Bedeutung für das eigene Thema besonders wichtig sind und daher intensiver bearbeitet werden sollen. Sie finden in diesem Teil Antworten auf Fragen wie die folgenden: • Wann nutze ich Lehrbücher, wann wissenschaftliche Aufsätze? • Wie grenze ich meine Literatur- und Datensuche ein? • Welche Hilfen bietet das Internet? Im Anschluss an die Recherche und Aufbereitung der Materialien folgt die Erstellung von Texten in Form von Protokollen, Hausarbeiten, Referaten, Projektberichten oder einer Abschlussarbeit. Wie immer gilt auch in diesem Fall: Das Wissen, das man im Kopf hat, ist „Schall und Rauch“, wenn man es nicht vernünftig zu Papier bringen oder im Vortrag vermitteln kann. Der oft gehörte Satz „Ich habe eigentlich alles gewusst und konnte es ‚nur‘ nicht rüberbringen“ ist absurd, denn nichts von dem, was Sie nicht kommunizieren können – schriftlich oder mündlich (s. u.) – kann Gegenstand einer Auseinandersetzung, einer Diskussion oder einer Bewertung sein. Der zweite Teil dieses Leitfadens widmet sich daher der Frage, wie man Wissen schriftlich kommuniziert. Dafür gibt es zum einen formale Regeln, die es einzuhalten gilt (Zitierweisen, Gliederungssystematik, Umgang mit Abbildungen etc.), und zum anderen Konventionen, die eine gute schriftliche Arbeit erfüllen muss: Gibt es eine Fragestellung und wird diese stringent hergeleitet? Gibt es einen roten Faden und wird dieser über die ganze Arbeit verfolgt? Werden theoretische Überlegungen sinnvoll mit empirischen Arbeiten verknüpft? Qualitätsstandards, die Sie bei jeder Beurteilung eines Lehrbuches oder einer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit zu Grunde legen und die Sie ebenso auch von Ihren eigenen Arbeiten fordern sollten. Gespräche mit Geographinnen und Geographen, die in der Wirtschaft oder bei öffentlichen Einrichtungen arbeiten, zeigen stets eines ganz deutlich: Bei der Frage, ob man sich bei Einstellungsgesprächen für oder gegen eine Bewerberin oder einen Bewerber entscheidet, kommt es erst in zweiter Linie auf die fachlichen Qualifikationen an. Diese werden eigentlich vorausgesetzt. Sie sind die Hürde, die man schon bei der schriftlichen Bewerbung nehmen muss. Geographisches Know-how und thematische Spezialisierungen entscheiden also darüber, ob man eingeladen wird oder nicht, nicht aber, ob man den Job letztlich bekommt. Hierfür sind die „soft skills“ entscheidend: Passen die Kandidaten ins Team, können sie sich gut verkaufen, wirken sie souverän? Kurz: Ob man detailliert darüber Bescheid weiß, wie z. B. Stadtmarketing funktioniert, ist nur dann relevant, wenn man dieses Wissen auch vermitteln kann. Der dritte Teil des Leitfadens widmet sich deshalb genau diesen Fragen des „Präsentierens“. Denn wo kann man dies besser lernen als in einem Seminar oder auf einer Exkursion: Wie strukturiere ich einen Kurzvortrag prägnant und spannend (Beispiel Bewerbung: „Erzählen Sie mal in fünf Minuten, was Sie in Ihrem Studium gemacht haben“), wie gliedere ich einen längeren Vortrag, wie gestalte ich einen Exkursionsblock und wie setze ich sinnvoll didaktische Hilfsmittel der Visualisierung ein? Dieser Leitfaden hilft Ihnen bei der Bewältigung Ihres Studiums. Da aber nichts perfekt ist und alles noch besser geht, würden wir uns über kritische Anmerkungen und kreative Verbesserungsvorschläge sehr freuen. Bitte wenden Sie sich – schriftlich oder mündlich – an die Lehrenden des Fachs.

Abstract:

More number of melanized melanosomes present in darker-skinned groups absorb and scatter more energy than do the smaller number of melanosomes. The color of the skin is a primary reason behind the occurrence of skin cancer.
