Movies are brilliant choices to be subjects of discourse analysis since they bear resemblance to real-life phenomena. Lion of The Desert is one of the movies that actualizes the use of the English language as the dialogue and presents Islamic historical values as its content. Among a myriad of sub-disciplines of discourse analysis, this paper attempts to investigate speech act phenomena in the utterances of Omar Mukhtar, the main character of the movie. The discourse analysis is conducted on his utterances in order to extract the types of speech acts he employs. Primary data sources include the movie video file and its script. We execute several procedural steps of extracting the data, commencing with watching the movie while reading its script; re-watching it to identify the aspects like voice, intonation, and mimics; interpreting, and classifying the types of speech acts in accordance with the classification procedure of John R. Searle’s speech act theory. The findings revealed four types of speech acts, namely, representative, directive, commissive, and expressive, being identified and classified in Mukhtar’s utterances. The most frequently used type of speech act was representative, which is performed in 56 utterances, followed by a directive act which appears in 53 utterances. Commissive and expressive speech acts emerge in 9 and 7 utterances respectively.
Geoarchaeological reconstructions of land-use changes may help to reveal driving cultural factors and incentives behind these processes and relate them to supra-regional economic and political developments. This is particularly true in the context of complete abandonment of a settlement. Here we present a case study from the site of Faule Pfütze, a small catchment in the Eastern Ore Mountains (Saxony). The historical record of this site is confined to the report of a settlement called Hohenwalde in 1404 CE and two later references to the then-abandoned settlement in 1492 and 1524 CE in this area. Combined geoarchaeological studies allowed for the reconstruction of several phases of land use. While a first phase of alluvial sedimentation occurred during the late 12th century, archaeological evidence for a permanent settlement is absent during this period. The onset of settlement activity is identified during the late 14th century and included a hitherto unknown massive stone building. Mining features are present nearby and are dated to the early 15th century. The local palynological record shows evidence for reforestation during the mid 15th century and thereby corroborates the time of abandonment indicated by written sources. These processes are discussed in the context of a local political conflict (Dohna Feud) leading to the redistribution of properties and the development of a mining economy during this time. Later land use from the mid 16th century onwards appears restricted to charcoal production, probably in the context of smelting works operating in nearby Schmiedeberg as indicated by rising lead concentrations in the alluvial record.

New scientific methods now being applied to the analysis of traces of pigments and gilding on ancient Greek and Roman marble statuary, and other marble artefacts, have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of the relationship between form and colour in antiquity. At present the enquiry is still in its infancy, but the papers delivered at a conference held in Frankfurt in 2008, reviewed here, provide a general introduction to the subject and to a wide range of work in progress.

From 1945 to the early 1960s, the US government undertook numerous atomic and hydrogen bomb tests. These full-scale explosions were recorded on film from various angles, and at different speeds. Indeed, it soon became required to obtain images of the very first milli-seconds of the expanding phase of the atomic fireball. Ultrahigh-speed cameras able to produce such images were specifically developed for that purpose. This article explores the different “media-temporalities” that intersect in those images. I focus on the “micro-processes happening on a technical level that are very fast,” and more specifically the ones that go into the “Rapatronic camera” designed by Harold Edgerton (head of the US national defense contractor company EG&G) to record the atomic fireball early formation. The scientific slow-motion films and high-speed photographic images operate at the junction of the micro-scale temporality of the atomic explosions’ early phases, and the macro-scale temporality of the political and ecological implications of these explosions. I argue that these films are the objects and inscriptions of micro-temporalities, macro-history and geological times.

Die kulturanthropologische Studie beschäftigt sich mit der pädagogischen Nutzung von Wäldern. Sie betrachtet dieses Phänomen vor dem Hintergrund zweier Entwicklungen: Zum einen wird die Zunahme von gesellschaftlichen Bedürfnissen an den Wald betrachtet etwa aus den Bereichen Freizeit, Sport, Gesundheit oder Bildung. Zum anderen wird die Zuspitzung des Nutzungskonflikts zwischen Forst- und Naturschutzakteuren im Wald in den Blick genommen. Im Zentrum der Arbeit stehen daher sowohl der Prozess der pädagogischen Inwertsetzung des Waldes als auch die Frage, wie sich der Nutzungskonflikt in der pädagogischen Praxis widerspiegelt. Eine empirisch-ethnografische Feldforschung im Nationalpark Kellerwald-Edersee und im Jugendwaldheim des Forstbetriebs des Landes Hessen im Jahr 2014 bilden das Fundament der Studie.
Die Ergebnisse machen den Prozess der pädagogischen Inwertsetzung transparent: Sie verweisen auf einzelne Praktiken, auf beteiligte Akteure und stellen dar, wie das Bild vom Wald als pädagogisch wertvoller Raum gesellschaftlich Fuß fasst. Sie zeigen darüber hinaus, dass Naturschutz- und Forstakteure die Bildungspraktiken nutzen, um ihre jeweiligen Vorstellungen zur Nutzung des Waldes gesellschaftlich durchzusetzen. Vor allem machen die Ergebnisse deutlich, dass durch die pädagogischen Inwertsetzung einerseits und die Instrumentalisierung der Bildung andererseits Diskussionen über die Funktion und den Stellenwert der pädagogischen Nutzung von Wäldern ausgelöst werden. Die Studie zeigt, dass im Rahmen dieser Debatten die gesellschaftlichen Wünsche gegenüber den bislang dominierenden forstwirtschaftlichen und naturschutzfachlichen Aspekten an Relevanz gewinnen.
The dynamics of development of Bronze Age fortified settlements in the territory of present-day Poland reflects a general trend visible in other regions of Europe. The first period when relatively few defensive settlements were built was the first half of the 2nd millennium BC. However, intensification of the discussed phenomenon can only be noticed with the development of the Lusatian culture. The older development stage of fortified settlements in Poland is characterised by a significantly lower number of sources. The sites identified until now form a small group of settlements, clearly connected with two cultural circles. The four settlements which have been discovered in Greater Poland and Silesia so far should be linked with local groups of Únětice culture. In south-eastern Poland, in the Polish part of the Western Carpathians, there are three known sites, which are the result of northern expansion of Otomani-Füzesabony culture settlements, as well as the development of local communities of Mierzanowice culture. The text aims at detailed description of archaeological sources concerning particular features and aspects of functioning of fortified settlements. Moreover the collected information will serve to attempt to locate the discussed settlements in wider contexts regarding the roles which are most frequently assigned to the archaeological sites of this kind.
