Who's afraid of ideology?
(2023)
Artist Marwa Arsanios shares textual fragments from research she conducted for the first and second parts of a video trilogy titled "Who's Afraid of Ideology?" Meditating on the voiding effects of war, and the ecological and affective texture of communal resistance and eco-feminist praxis as they emerge in Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon, and northern Syria, the text takes us to ecological milieux made of wild medicinal plants, fig trees, Kurdish guerrillas, and farmers in a women-only commune.
The aim of this contrastive study is to examine the source domain "agriculture" as an image donor for a large number of phraseological units in German and Albanian and to address the question which agricultural terms belong to the phraseological inventory in both languages and which metaphorical target domains are linguistically structured by them. This language combination consists of two Indo-European languages whose peoples have not been in direct contact with each other in the course of history. Identifying differences and similarities in this regard would be of great interest - especially the latter, because phraseological universals could be discovered in the similarities between these not very closely related languages and peoples.
Wer das zu besprechende Werk von Susan Richter zur Hand nimmt, wird beim Blick in das Inhaltsverzeichnis positiv überrascht. Die überarbeitete Heidelberger Habilitationsschrift erweist sich nämlich nicht nur, wie im Titel angekündigt, als eine Studie "[zur] Verflechtung von Herrschaft und Landwirtschaft in der Aufklärung", sondern auch als ein Buch, das den Blick weit über den europäischen Horizont hinaus richtet: Versucht wird darin, die wichtige Rolle des chinesischen Kaisers und insbesondere des von ihm jährlich durchgeführten Pflugrituals für den physiokratischen und kameralistischen Diskurs herauszuarbeiten. Die Studie verschreibt sich somit einem transfergeschichtlichen Ansatz. Sie untersucht nebst den Schriften und Bildzeugnissen aus dem Umkreis von Kameralisten und Physiokraten auch deren Quellen – Berichte von Reisenden und Experten, vor allem aber die berühmten Jesuitenberichte aus China. ...
Our daily food consumption is slowly but surely turning into the largest environmental threat. The agricultural sector consumes 70% of the water used by humankind. The production of meat consumes enormous amounts of water compared to plants. Innovations in the area of food production are lately summarized as AgTech, agricultural technology. This encompasses all sorts of areas, ranging from drone-controlled tractors to printed hamburgers. Specifically the challenge of making use of the limited areas available in cities and maximizing crop yields has seen a recent boom in novel approaches – and quite a bit of investor finance.
À guisa de conclusão, e de acordo com Morais e Correia (1993), as causas da crise que vivem as populações pastoris e agropastoris do Sul de Angola que, inclusivamente as põem em risco de extinção, são os fracos apoios nos serviços de produção animal, a degradação da captação e retenção da água e a liberalização do comércio. Daí que, ao invés de se fazer dos Ovimbundu bode expiatório de alguns dos males que afectam esses grupos, dever-se-ia, como é óbvio, reforçar as capacidades locais, visando promover uma melhor adaptação dos Muíla, Kuvale e outros grupos da região para integrá-los, da melhor maneira, no contexto social e económico vigente em Angola. Isso não é apenas uma acção humanitária, mas o respeito dos direitos das populações marginalizadas e que necessitam também de se sentiram cidadãos. Por outras palavras: uma questão de Direitos Humanos.
Über 200 Vertreter aus Wissenschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung, Politik und Wirtschaft sowie von Natur- und Umweltschutzverbänden trafen sich im März 2004 in Frankfurt a.M., um vor dem Hintergrund umfassender Neuregelungen auf nationaler und europäischer Gesetzgebungsebene den bisherigen und zukünftigen Umgang mit historischen Kulturlandschaften zu diskutieren. Angesichts des ungebremsten Flächenverbrauchs und dem damit einhergehenden Verlust an historisch gewachsenen Kulturlandschaften war die Frankfurter Tagung für Deutschland und speziell für Hessen von großer Bedeutung. Die Situation in Hessen war und ist leider keinesfalls vergleichbar mit der in anderen Bundesländern. Während beispielsweise die nordrhein-westfälischen Bemühungen um ein digitales Kulturlandschaftskataster (KULADIG/KULANDIS) bereits in die Realisierungsphase übergehen, hat der Planungsverband Ballungsraum Frankfurt/Rhein-Main gerade erst mit der Erstellung eines ersten entsprechenden Katasters innerhalb seines Zuständigkeitsbereichs begonnen. Hinzu kommen aktuelle Diskussionen um die Neugestaltung der UVP-Gesetzgebung, der Umgang mit der Kulturlandschaft des Mittelrheintals im Sinne der UNESCO-Konvention zum Weltkulturerbe und der Umsetzung des Managementplans zum bundesländerübergreifenden Weltkulturerbeantrag Limes. ...
A data set of annual values of area equipped for irrigation for all 236 countries in the world during the time period 1900 - 2003 was generated. The basis for this data product was information available through various online data bases and from other published materials. The complete time series were then constructed around the reported data applying six statistical methods. The methods are discussed in terms of reliability and data uncertainties. The total area equipped for irrigation in the world in 1900 was 53.2 million hectares. Irrigation was mainly practiced in all the arid regions of the globe and in paddy rice areas of South and East Asia. In some temperate countries in Western Europe irrigation was practiced widely on pastures and meadows. The time series suggest a modest rate of increase of irrigated areas in the first half of the 20th century followed by a more dynamic development in the second half. The turn of the century is characterized by an overall consolidating trend resulting at a total of 285.8 million hectares in 2003. The major contributing countries have changed little throughout the century. This data product is regarded as a preliminary result toward an ongoing effort to develop a detailed data set and map of areas equipped for irrigation in the world over the 20th century using sub-national statistics and historical irrigation maps.
Artificial drainage of agricultural land, for example with ditches or drainage tubes, is used to avoid water logging and to manage high groundwater tables. Among other impacts it influences the nutrient balances by increasing leaching losses and by decreasing denitrification. To simulate terrestrial transport of nitrogen on the global scale, a digital global map of artificially drained agricultural areas was developed. The map depicts the percentage of each 5’ by 5’ grid cell that is equipped for artificial drainage. Information on artificial drainage in countries or sub-national units was mainly derived from international inventories. Distribution to grid cells was based, for most countries, on the "Global Croplands Dataset" of Ramankutty et al. (1998) and the "Digital Global Map of Irrigation Areas" of Siebert et al. (2005). For some European countries the CORINE land cover dataset was used instead of the both datasets mentioned above. Maps with outlines of artificially drained areas were available for 6 countries. The global drainage area on the map is 167 Mio hectares. For only 11 out of the 116 countries with information on artificial drainage areas, sub-national information could be taken into account. Due to this coarse spatial resolution of the data sources, we recommended to use the map of artificially drained areas only for continental to global scale assessments. This documentation describes the dataset, the data sources and the map generation, and it discusses the data uncertainty.
