2015 wurde das Grabungshaus der Abteilung Vorderasiatische Archäologie an der Goethe-Universität in Tell-Chuera, im Nordosten Syriens nur wenige Kilometer von der Grenze zur Türkei gelegen, zum großen Teil zerstört. Das Gebäude wurde 15 Jahre lang von Forschern und Studierenden der Uni im Rahmen eines Projektes zur frühen Urbanisation in Mesopotamien genutzt.
In der Großregion Saarland-Lothringen-Luxemburg-Rheinland-Pfalz-Wallonie-Deutsch-sprachige Gemeinschaft Belgiens ist ein rasanter demografischer Wandel zu erwarten, die Altersstruktur der Bevölkerung wird sich erheblich verändern. Die Zahl der über 80-jährigen, hochaltrigen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner in der Großregion wird bis zum Jahr 2030 voraussichtlich um 29,4% steigen. Im Jahr 2013 lebten 626.065 Menschen im Alter von über 80 Jahren in der Großregion, im Jahr 2030 werden es 812.657 sein. Besonders stark dürfte der Anstieg der hochaltrigen Bevölkerung in der DG Belgien (+44,4%) und in Luxemburg (+36,2%) ausfallen. Da mit einer älter werdenden Bevölkerung auch die Zahl der Personen steigt, die auf professionelle Pflege angewiesen sind, steht die Großregion vor folgender Herausforderung: Mit einer ausreichenden Zahl an Pflegekräften muss die pflegerische Versorgung für den erhöhten Bedarf sichergestellt werden. Dafür ist eine Bedarfsanalyse für die kommenden Jahre notwendig.
Seit einiger Zeit wird die Bedeutung der Kultur auch für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung diskutiert. Zusammenhänge zwischen Kultur und Wirtschaft werden auch auf regionaler Ebene zunehmend thematisiert. Hintergrund für dieses regionale Interesse dürfte sein, dass Regionen trotz oder wegen der Globalisierung eherzunehmende Bedeutung haben. Nicht nur ökonomische,sondern auch nicht‐ökonomische Standort‐ und Wettbewerbsfaktoren sind danach für die regionale Wirtschaft und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit relevant; Kultur ist einer davon. Mit dieser Studie möchten wir einen Diskussionsbeitrag leisten, die Bedeutung (ausgewählter) regionaler Kulturvariabler für die Wirtschaftsentwicklung und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit exemplarisch für die beiden Metropolregionen FrankfurtRheinMain und Stuttgart quantitativ zu eruieren. Das erkenntnisleitende Interesse richtetsich auf eine erste Beantwortung folgender Fragen:
* Welche quantitative Bedeutung haben die (ausgewählten) Kulturvariablen für die regionale Wirtschaftsentwicklung und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit?
* Bestehen innerhalb einer Region Unterschiede bei der quantitativen Bedeutung dieser Kulturvariablen?
* Bestehen zwischen den beiden Metropolregionen Unterschiede in dieser Bedeutung? ...
In diesem Beitrag werden die Angaben aus der Beschäftigtenbefragung der GDA-Dachevaluation zum Thema Belastungen am Arbeitsplatz unter verschiedenen Aspekten ausgewertet. Insbesondere erfolgt eine Betrachtung der hessischen Daten, die den Ergebnissen der Gesamtstichprobe gegenübergestellt werden; weiterhin wird eine nach Branchen und Betriebsgrößen differenzierte Betrachtung dargestellt. Außerdem wird in bi- und multivariaten Modellen untersucht, welche Faktoren einen Einfluss auf die Belastungswahrnehmung haben.
In einem weiteren Schritt werden die Einschätzungen der Beschäftigten den Ergebnissen der Betriebsbefragung gegenübergestellt, um Unterschiede bzw. Ähnlichkeiten dieser beiden Gruppen hinsichtlich der Wahrnehmung der betrieblichen Situation zu betrachten.
Als wichtiges Ergebnis hat sich gezeigt, dass für die Beschäftigten die „Arbeit unter Zeitdruck“ den wesentlichen Belastungsfaktor darstellt. Neben diesem psychischen Belastungsfaktor spielen aber auch physisch-technische Belastungsfaktoren, d.h. schwere körperliche Arbeit und Umgebungsfaktoren, nach wie vor eine große Rolle. Erwartungsgemäß gibt es große Unterschiede hinsichtlich der wahrgenommenen Belastungen zwischen den Wirtschaftssektoren. In Hessen spielen Belastungen durch bewegungsarme Tätigkeiten eine deutlich größere Rolle als im Schnitt aller Länder.
Die Ergebnisse aus einer bi- beziehungsweise multivariaten Auswertung der Daten zeigen, dass neben der Branche auch die betrieblichen Arbeitsschutzaktivitäten einen nachweisbaren Einfluss auf die Belastungswahrnehmung der Beschäftigten haben. Weiterhin wird deutlich, dass die Beschäftigten in der Wahrnehmung der Belastung eine klare Unterscheidung zwischen physisch-technischen Belastungen und psychischen Faktoren treffen. Belastungen aus bewegungsarmen Tätigkeiten spielen insgesamt eine große Rolle, lassen sich aber eindeutig keinem dieser Belastungskomplexe zuordnen.
Aus der Gegenüberstellung der Befunde der Beschäftigtenbefragung mit den Ergebnissen der Befragung der Betriebe ergibt sich, dass Führungskräfte bzw. Expert/innen die betrieblichen Belastungskonstellationen anders wahrnehmen als die Beschäftigten: die Beschäftigten nehmen psychische Belastungen an einem deutlich höheren Anteil der Arbeitsplätze wahr, wohingegen die betrieblichen Vertreter/innen Belastungen nach wie vor eher im technischen Bereich sehen.
Im Projekt galt es zu untersuchen, (1) wie Führungskräfte in der Altenhilfe durch eine Fortbildung wirksame Impulse hin zu einer stärkeren Mitarbeiterorientierung erhalten können und (2) welche Fortbildungssettings dafür geeignet sind. Es wurden hierfür berufsbegleitende Fortbildungen für Führungskräfte aus stationären Einrichtungen und aus ambulanten Diensten entwickelt und erprobt...
This study offers in its first part a brief description of the text genre, analysing the specific lexical and formal features as well as the specific text composition means. As wedding announcements haven’t been examined from a contrastive (German/Romanian)/intercultural point of view yet, it is relevant to mention some research directions and methods.
The Romanian National Archives in Sibiu keep a wide range of documents concerning the history of the Transylvanian Saxons and the every day life of the city of Sibiu. Although of major interest for historians, linguists and translators, these documents have not been fully studied so far. They represent valuable evidence of the evolution of the former German language spoken on the Transylvanian territory and, if translated into Romanian, could offer to the Romanian reader a new perspective on the Transylvanian Saxons’ history. This paper analyses, in the historic context of the time, the depositions of witnesses in a civil trial during the Austrian billeting in Sibiu in the 17th century and discusses the contents by observing the main structural characteristics of the text.
The analyzed and translated text represents a judicial protocol of a witch trial from 1697. After a brief description of the general phenomenon of the witch hunt and it’s characteristics in 17th century Transylvania the text is discussed from a point of view of its translation. The most problematic aspects are found in the depositions of the witnesses, which abound in linguistic peculiarities, ranging from archaic structures to dialect. The translator faces a dilemma when having to decide whether to translate the archaic structures into archaic ones, thus preserving the stylistic personality of the text, or into modern Romanian, which would mean creating an “open translation”. In any case the translation should not neglect the informative and oral character of the source text.
The topic of this article relies on the assumption that books are unfortunately more and more driven to the wall while series products that are created for a short-term communication remain fashionable. The assessment of the forms and contents considered to be fashionable depends on ratings while the aesthetic criteria, authenticity and depth of the messages are simply ignored. The language and the style of both the printed and the visual media fashionable products are at a level just sufficient to convey messages with stereotyped expressions. Although easy to understand and relaxing, they remain a commodity for a specific audience, a substitute for the real world. For their readers, these series products provide a reading that is consistent with the life they live. Designs and linguistic structures of this trivial journalism are described in this paper.
The article discusses recent history developments in Central and Eastern Europe more than a quarter century after the political change of 1989 on the development of programs at former traditional departments of German studies, the training of teachers for German as a foreign language and the growing importance of German for specific purposes.
This article presents a new dimension of the lexical category of “false friends”. False friends are the result of complex phenomena, exceeding bilingualism, so that they are not to be explained solely within the context of the mother tongue or of the foreign language. Many false friendships, i.e. potential false friends, stem from socalled internationalisms. In this article I discuss, in a concrete manner, based on some examples of Greek words in German, the way in which false friendships build a triangle, going further than the limits of one language pair. The main purpose of the article is to show that the etymological condition, even if only optional in defining false friends, has a major role to play in the international lexical patrimony of European languages.
The present study intends to analyze the literary personality of the German-language writer and translator Alfred Margul-Sperber and his approach to Romanian folk poetry and Romanian folk ballads. Alfred Margul-Sperber is known as a classical German-language poet from Romania, as a discoverer and supporter of literary talent, but also as a brilliant translator. Impressions from his childhood and life experiences contributed to Alfred MargulSperber’s interest for Romanian poets and especially for Romanian folk poetry, which left its own mark on Sperber’s literary creation. The author was fascinated by its plurality of forms, its richness of rhymes, images and sounds. The masterpiece of Romanian folk poetry, “Mioriţa/The little Ewe”-ballad raised the interest of the multilingual translator who proved his outstanding talent by translating the original text into German as accurately as possible and remarkably close to the spirit of the Romanian folk poetry, thus popularizing it among the German readers at home and abroad.
The article is a scholary review of the Stefan Kühtz's handbook „Wissenschaftlich formulieren. Tipps und Textbausteine für Studium und Schule” (Scientific express. Tip and text block for studies and school). The book contains the information about, how to write a scientific paper and many of examples of right and wrong sentences. Such tips can be useful not only for students of German as a foreign language, but also for native speakers of german language.
The paper presents Horst Samson’s volume of poetry Kein Schweigen bleibt ungehört -No silence stays unheard (2013). The review focuses on the main themes dealt with: emigration / exile, absurd existence within the Romanian society during the communist period and national socialist past of the former generation of the German ethnics in Romania. Although the themes may seem disparate one from another, the analysis shows eventually similarities in the stances of the lyrical self.
This paper intends to briefly analyze the features of the popular writers of the 19th century. This is a period, in which the literary manifestations may be regarded under extremes: the interest lies primarily on the syncretism of literary currents and movements, among which worth mentioning is the “other” Romanticism, i.e. a decorative form of Romanticism. A short presentation of some successful writers of the 19th century, who could be considered mass literature authors, allows one to sketch the portrait of the typical mass literature author and subsequently of the typical mass literature reader, which should be understood under the cultural and social circumstances of that specific period. The stylistic and thematic similarities among these authors may be extrapolated to such an extent that one may conclude the Romantic mood (here one should understand this “other” Romanticism) is indeed a characteristic of the mass literature authors of the 19th century.
Die synästhetische Darstellung der Welt als erotische Reise in Gheorghe Crăciuns "Femei albastre"
(2015)
The novel Femei albastre, published in an unfinished version six years after the death of its author, the Braşov born writer Gheorghe Crăciun, registers a complex symptomatology of losing and finding oneself on the background of the Romanian post-communist transition. The main theme is the narrative depiction of the senses‘ polyphony, the daily drama of the body, whose fundamental loneliness can be observed both in the pain, as in the Eros. The main aim of this article is to present the narrative filtering of various synaesthetic aspects, the written transfiguration of the nformation received through the senses. This is done through a series of experimental techniques, such as photographic reproduction, camera perspective and commuting between the real and the imaginary. Just like one of Crӑciuns earlier novels, Pupa russa, Femei albastre is also not an entirely epic novel, the story is replaced also in this case by a detailed observation and a profound introspection, by a sensory exploration of the world, including its internal transformations and the physical perception. The author himself claims that this novel is to be understood as a conglomerate of eroticism, sensuality and somatic investigation: „Şi acest roman este focalizat asupra erosului, cu nu puţine deschideri spre erotism, senzualitate şi explorare somatică“.
The historical events during 1918, which marked the dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy, along with the violent acts of World War II were for the majority of the “Austrian-Bukovina” Jews the catalyst leading to profound identity disruption and disorientation. The destruction of the old “foundation” and the loss of the existential centre of reference were perceived by a large number of Bukovina Jews as extremely painful. The most of them continued to cultivate the old “Austrian” values. The experience during the war and the Holocaust shattered the survivors in an irremediable way. In this paper, I rely deliberately on the short story „In fartogikn groy” written by the Yiddish writer Alexander Spiegelblatt in order to illustrate the traumatic transition from a multinational to a “national(-istic)” construction, marked by severe and irreconcilable conflict between “old” and “new” values.
In his novel How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone, the author Saša Stanišić shows the complex relationship of the narrator (Aleksandar) to his native Bosnia and Herzegovina on the one hand and Germany on the other hand, which becomes (because of the Civil War in Bosnia and Herzegovina) the new random home of Aleksandar’s family. The resulting problems such as loss of home, integration, construction and reconstruction of „auto-image“ and „hetero-image“ are treated from a unique perspective - of a growing child. In this work, using the example of the novel How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone will be examine, what specific child perspective as a narrator in the construction of „auto-image“ and „hetero-image“ and what is a difference in a perspective between the child and the adult narrator.
Adina Lucia Nistor’s recent book focuses on standard German, viewed from the perspective of the morphemic, internalanalysis of one of the essential parts of a sentence, i.e. the nominal group (Nominalgruppe),in opposition to the verbal group (Verbalgruppe).
The present review refers to the work of Silvia Zimmermann Das Königsbild im Werk Carmen Sylvas und in Fotografien des Fürstlich Wiedischen Archivs.[The Kingʼs Image in the Work of Carmen Sylva and on Princely Archive Photographs belonging to the Wied House] The year 2014 had a triple meaning for the first Romanian Royal House: 175 years since the birth of King Charles I (20 April 2014), 145 years since his wedding with princess Elisabeth of Wied (15 November 1869) and the death centenary of King Charles I (10 October 1914, at the Peleș Castle). Silvia Zimmermann selects and comments upon texts and images which depict the reign of Charles I over Romania, a very beneficial period for the development of the country
This paper explores the context and reasons for the extensive translation of legal texts from German into Romanian in Bukovina during the Habsburg period (1775–1918) and immediately following the unification with the Romanian Kingdom. The Austrian civil code from 1811 was translated in the three important periods of translation, corresponding to the major administrative changes in the province. The paper analyses the different translations and their impact on the Romanian legislation, legal terminology and juridical style.
For intercultural language teaching, coaching students on how to perceive the cultural “other” is of crucial importance in order to avoid culturally based misunderstandings. This paper explores how perceiving the other can offer conclusions for perceiving and becoming aware of the self. Through that, a process of giving and taking ensues in which perceptions of the self and of the other are constantly fluctuating depending on the context in which the communication is taking place. At the crossroads between members of two different cultures, a dialogue emerges in which the points of view of both parties are changed. The paper outlines how perception is a construct in which one’s own origin, education, and emotions are blended in. Intercultural learning is the way to deal with this constructs in a flexible manner so as to create new interpretation patterns. It teaches how to sympathize with the other and how to better understand oneself.
Die Darstellung der Machtverhältnisse im politischen Diskurs – am Beispiel politisierter Gedenkreden
(2015)
The present paper deals with the way in which the relations between different political governments and their representatives are expressed at the linguistic level on the strength of power positions in the official political discourse. The political value system and its justification are expressed in the official political discourse, which lays down rules and indicates attitudes with normative status and at the same time reveals the relations between the supporters of the respective ideology. For this purpose, three commemorative speeches are analysed; these speeches were published in the newspaper Neuer Weg on the 11th September 1960 and they were delivered by the German politicians Otto Grotewohl, the prime minister of GDR and Walter Ulbricht, the deputy prime minister of GDR and the Romanian politician Chivu Stoica, the secretary of the presidium of the General Council of the Party, on the death of the former President of the German Democratic Republic Wilhelm Pieck.
There was always a close connection between human beings and plants, mammals and insects, but also birds, which enlivened yards and gardens, fields and forests with their flight, playfulness and their voices. Therefore it does not come as a surprise that some of our linguists and folklorists like the North-Transylvanian linguist Gustav Kisch and the South-Transylvanian linguist and folklorist Pauline Schullerus refer in some minor works to wellknown bird names as they appear in traditions, fairy tales, rhymes, idioms (sayings) and proverbs. But they never mention any owl species. This presentation provides the names of certain owl species as they appear in Transylvanian-Saxon and neighboring languages, as they were grouped by certain criteria according to their appearance. Descriptive idiomatic examples reflect their specific features and way of life.
The purpose of this study is to reconstruct and document the image of “The Other’’ starting with the historical street names in the Transylvanian town of Sebeş, Alba County, founded in the thirteenth century by German settlers. Due to the fact that, throughout Middle Ages, one of the criteria of naming the streets of a borough was, inter alia, the ethnic one, the street names of the town reveal the ethnic groups which would form the population of the town: Székelys (Siculorumgasse), Saxons (Sachsgasse, Herrengasse, Petrigasse a.s.o.), Romans (Opricestengasse, Suseni– and Joseni Viertel), Greek and Macedonian, as well as Germans from the Southwestern Germany and Austria, who founded the north quarter of the town, in the eighteenth century (Saxonii Noi Street, Saxonii Vechi Street, Quer Gasse). In Sebeş, the street names established after the specific place the road leads the way to also contribute to the image of “The Other’’ (Petersdorfer Gässchen, Daiagasse and Hermannstädter Straße). Furthermore, the names of various local or super regional personalities who influenced the existence of the town also have an important contribution. Examples to illustrate this aspect are particularly the street names from the early stalinist period of communism in Romania (Stalin Street, V. I. Lenin Street, Miciurin Street, Malinovski Street, Rosa Luxemburg Street).
Aspects of the use of language can be discussed from different perspectives. This article discusses, among other things, the resort to jargon, the stylistic classification and the lexicographic description of phrasemes, insisting on standards that define the value of a lexicographic work.
The Romanian literature of the 18th century is witnessing a remarkable metamorphosis, whereas step by step the Enlightment’s ideas penetrate the Romanianspeaking soil and through various mechanisms replace the medieval order in society, politics and arts. In this time of the Enlightment the small popular book “Bertoldo” from the late Italian 16th century was adapted in French and then in German and through the German intermediary reached Transylvania at the end of the 18th century (Hermannstadt, 1799). In the centre of our analysis we place the concept of “cultural transfer” and that of the “cultural translation”, concepts that help us illustrate the adaptation strategies of the foreign material and the integration principles of the Enlightment’s ideals on the Romanian soil. Working with eloquent examples from the “Bertoldo”-text in a comparative manner we will try to bring to light the interaction of the poetical and ideological functions of the translations from German and its role in forming and shaping a new kind of Romanian cultural and literary sensibility.
Im Geflecht der Identitäten : Kulturgeschichtliches, dargestellt am Beispiel von János Bolyai
(2015)
The Transylvanian-born János Bolyai (1802-1860) never ceases to attract the attention of all those interested in the history of science, as he is one of the founders of non-Euclidean geometry. Bolyai also concerns the philosophy researchers, due to a social utopia, which he presents in his works, unpublished during his lifetime. From older and newer documentation, it is known that the Hungarian Bolyai nobility descent also has a German origin, from German Grafs. On the Calvaserului Valley, situated north of the Hârtibaciului Valley, lies the Buia parish, named Bolya by the Hungarians, Bell by the Germans, where the Bolyai family owned an estate and a castle. In this work, the author presents approaches concerning the genealogy of János Bolyai and reports about visits to the places where Bolyai has lived, such as Buia, Domald (Viişoara parrish) and Târgu Mureş.
Sibylle Berg develops in her novel Der Mann schläft a new, nihilistic definition of love. Nietzsche considers that modern mankind killed the god in itself, Dürrenmatt shows the absolute hopelessness of the postmodern society and Berg presents the end of all known forms of love. For her protagonist it is enough to have found someone who needs her as much as she needs him to feel save and complete. But “the man” disappears during a journey to Asia while going to buy some papers. After waiting for three month for him to return she decides to stay there for the rest of her miserable life. The novel has an interesting structure, the story is told in dozens of short scenes, not in a chronological order but reffering to the period with “the man” and without him that confers to it a certain dramatic touch.
This paper tries to present Ernst Jüngerʼs perception of „the enemy“ in his first publication, the novellike, personal report on his experiences in WW I, „Storm of Steel“, published for the first time in 1920. Interestingly his characterization of the French, English, Scottish – and a squad of Indian – Soldiers varies in the different editions of this work, which suffered six to seven revisons (the last one for editing the opera omnia in 1978). While especially the 1924 edition had a nationalistic bias, as Jünger for example mocked on French civilization, such passages were eliminated during a revison in 1934. Generally, also in the earlier editions, Jüngerʼs approach towards describing the enemy is distinguished by high respect and an outmoded chevalersque ethos of a warrioar-caste, which was in WW I already part of the historical past. Only some traces of every-day racism, typical for the German imperial age, found its way also in the last editions: the description of colonial military forces (Moroccans, Indians).
According to Arthur Rimbaud’s famous saying “Je est un autre” Max Frisch develops in his early diaries an idea of love which has to orient itself by the ban on images in the Old Testament and which, as a modern concept, has to renounce every image of oneself and the other at all. In Max Frisch’s novel Stiller the roots of this seemingly biblical belief can be found both in an aesthetic attitude towards life (as pointed out in Sören Kierkegaardʼs scriptures, especially in Entweder-Oder) and in an existentialist understanding of life (as set forth in the philosophical work of Jean-Paul Sartre). Max Frisch’s novel Stiller can be read as a literary experiment of achieving the ultimate goal of love and self-acceptance by radical self-negation and negation of the other.
The present contribution deals with the reception of the figure of Alkestis both in Greek antiquity (Euripides) and in German literature around 1900 (Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Rainer Maria Rilke). The contribution shows on the one hand that already Euripides had problems with the dramatic transformation of the antique mythological narrative into a tragic subject. On the other hand it shows that the two modern versions of the narrative of Alkestis around 1900 deal with it quite differently: Hofmannsthal’s free adaptation of the Euripidean Alkestis shifts the subject matter into a Dionysian context, in the light of Schopenhauer’s and Nietzsche’s philosophy, whereas Rilke implants themes and motifs of his own poetry in the narrative of Alkestis and amalgamates them with it.
In the novel "The Land of Green Plums" (1994) the author renders an apocalyptic image of Romania during the communist dictatorship, Timişoara representing the tragic background of the narrated events. From this perspective, language becomes for Herta Müller a way of distancing from the dictatorial system, the author managing to express, through specific processes of language, the circumstances hat generated those events. The aphorisms and the idioms used in the text express the wrong behavior and communication mechanisms of the protagonists, demonstrating the presence of the security forces and of the dictatorship. The author often appeals to repetitions to highlight the continuous threat and the repression force of the authorities. Thus, the language is for Herta Müller a form of resistance against the totalitarian regime and the only place of expressing freedom, even under the dictatorship.
