This article combines a brief introduction into a particular philosophical theory of "time" with a demonstration of how this theory has been implemented in a Literary Studies oriented Humanities Computing project. The aim of the project was to create a model of text-based time cognition and design customized markup and text analysis tools that help to understand ‘‘how time works’’: more precisely, how narratively organised and communicated information motivates readers to generate the mental image of a chronologically organized world. The approach presented is based on the unitary model of time originally proposed by McTaggart, who distinguished between two perspectives onto time, the so-called A- and B-series. The first step towards a functional Humanities Computing implementation of this theoretical approach was the development of TempusMarker—a software tool providing automatic and semi-automatic markup routines for the tagging of temporal expressions in natural language texts. In the second step we discuss the principals underlying TempusParser—an analytical tool that can reconstruct temporal order in events by way of an algorithm-driven process of analysis and recombination of textual segments during which the "time stamp" of each segment as indicated by the temporal tags is interpreted.
Eine Konstante der Diskussion zur Bestimmung von "Narrativität" ist der Versuch, Narrativität als kennzeichnendes Merkmal des erzählenden Textes funktional zu bestimmen: nämlich als eine spezifische Form der symbolischen Ereignisrepräsentation. Dieser Beitrag entwickelt dagegen die These, daß Narrativität keine Frage des Entweder/Oder ist, sondern eine der graduellen Realisation spezifischer logischer Bedingungen, die sich in Form einer sog. "Ereignis-Matrix" definieren lassen. Alles, was die Bedingungen der Ereignis-Matrix erfüllt, taugt zum "Ereignis-Konstrukt" – aber nur jene Ereignis-Konstrukte und damit auch die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Texte sind in sich selbst narrativ, in denen die temporale Ordnung sich nicht auf die reine Sequentialität der symbolischen Zeichen reduziert.
Der vorliegenden Studie geht es um die Modellierung eines deutschdidaktischen Begriffs von Können in der Leseausbildung: Was heißt es, gekonnt zu lesen, gekonnt zu unterrichten und gekonnt das Lesen zu unterrichten? Die Studie argumentiert sowohl in theoretischer Perspektive über die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Stand der Leseforschung als auch in empirischer Perspektive über die Untersuchung der Durchführung eines sogenannten Lesestrategietrainings in der Sekundarstufe I für eine Leseausbildung, die auf die Ausbildung einer strategischen Lesehaltung abzielt und auf einer Kontextualisierung des Lesens bzw. der Leseausbildung und auf einer Lehrkraft als kompetenten Anderen gründet. Die gegenwärtigen Modellierungen von Lesekompetenz und kompetentem Lesen werden so in einen umfassenden Rahmen von Lesekönnerschaft eingeordnet, der Begriff der Lesestrategie im Sinne seiner eigentlichen Bedeutung als eine „Modalität der Handlungsausführung“ (neu) bestimmt. Können wird in diesem Sinne als ein implizites Wissen modelliert. Für die empirische Untersuchung des Lesestrategieunterrichts in sechs Klassen der Sekundarstufe I wird in der Arbeit das Instrument der Unterrichtsrahmenanalyse entwickelt: Mit Hilfe der Rahmen-Metapher gelingt es, sowohl das den Unterricht bestimmende und geteilt geltende Vorwissen der Lehrkräfte und Schülerinnen und Schüler zu bestimmen als auch die jeweils notwendigen Aushandlungsprozesse bei der Definition der jeweiligen Situation oder Bedeutung in den Blick zu nehmen. Die Unterrichtsrahmenanalyse differenziert zwischen einer institutionsbezogenen Rahmungsebene, einer interaktionsbezogenen und einer gegenstandsbezogenen Rahmungsebene. Mit diesem Instrument werden 15 ausgewählte Schlüsselstellen des aufgezeichneten und transkribierten Unterrichts analysiert und die so gewonnen Befunde auf ihre Implikationen für ein Können im Unterrichten wie im Lesen in Anschlag gebracht. In die Auswertung der Schlüsselstellen sind die jeweils unterrichtenden Lehrkräfte eingebunden, sie analysieren ihr Handeln sowie das der Schülerinnen und Schüler auf der Grundlage der Videomitschnitte in ausführlichen Auswertungsgesprächen. Auf diese Weise kann Unterrichtshandeln nicht nur beschrieben, sondern auch erklärt werden. Diese Ergebnisse werden ergänzt und kontrastiert durch die Auswertung leitfadengestützter Interviews mit den unterrichtenden Lehrkräften, in denen Planung, Ziel und Leitvorstellungen der Lehrkräfte im Zentrum stehen.

This post is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Chaim Flom, late rosh yeshiva of Yeshivat Ohr David in Jerusalem. I first met Rabbi Flom thirty years ago when he became my teacher at the Hebrew Youth Academy of Essex County (now known as the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy; unfortunately, another one of my teachers from those years also passed away much too young, Rabbi Yaakov Appel). When he first started teaching he was known as Mr. Flom, because he hadn't yet received semikhah (Actually, he had some sort of semikhah but he told me that he didn't think it was adequate to be called "Rabbi" by the students.) He was only at the school a couple of years and then decided to move to Israel to open his yeshiva. I still remember his first parlor meeting which was held at my house. Rabbi Flom was a very special man. Just to give some idea of this, ten years after leaving the United States he was still in touch with many of the students and even attended our weddings. He would always call me when he came to the U.S. and was genuinely interested to hear about my family and what I was working on. He will be greatly missed.
In trying to study the idea of landscape (fukei) in Japanese waka-poetry, one may find oneself confronted with a great variety of concepts. All of these share commonalities in that they are not at all defined, that their meaning depends on personal usage (at the level of the producer, as well as of the researcher who often speaks the same language), and that they can be understood on a wide spectrum between the two extreme positions marked by fiction and reality (without, of course, any scientific concept about what fiction and reality might be). Although European traditions are coping with the concept of landscape in an aesthetical and philosophical way, there is no such comparable tradition in traditional Japanese literary history (kokubungaku). Because of this, there is no satisfactory way to conceptually understand waka-landscape, since the very basic key-term itself is not mutually accessible. European and Japanese concepts of landscape may not, therefore, be able to be brought together. To have an international scientific discussion on landscape (found in every culture historically and up to the present), it is necessary to develop a concept of landscape which is not only an issue of arts, aesthetics or philosophy, but also the subject of anthropological approaches and cultural studies. In this paper, I attempt to develop a concept of landscape, which is based on constructivism and the psychology of perception and memory. I will also show how constructivist thought has gained great popularity in German social and cultural studies.
Traditional philology in Japan (kokubungaku) is often described, both at home and abroad, as having a phobia of theory. The literary scholar often speaks the same language as the poet, and in many cases, as in the second edition of Iwanami Literary Studies (Iwanami Kōza Bungaku, 1975–1976), they are one and the same person. However, a closer look at Japanese literary studies since the translation of Eagleton´s Literary Theory in 1985 reveals that this paradigm has already started to shift. The publication of the third edition of Iwanami Literary Studies, and in particular the supplement Literary Theory (Bungaku Riron, 2004) distinctly reflects this shift, at least among the younger generation of literary scholars. In my paper I will show not only the shift to theory in recent Japanese literary studies, but also that theory itself (as it is used in Japan) has experienced that worldwide movement described as the “cultural turn.” In order to prove this observation I will take a closer look at the contemporary English, German and Japanese discourse on literary theory and, in particular concepts such as contingency, (new) contextuality, and culturalism.
I. Introduction The early 1970s in the United States was a turbulent, rebellious period – in which all questions were legitimate, certainly on the college campus. As the rabbinic advisor to the Orthodox minyan at Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel, I found myself challenged repeatedly by congregants, colleagues and friends regarding the status of women in Jewish law and ritual. This required me, in turn, to search for honest and appropriate explanations and rationale. This quest has continued to preoccupy me for more than three decades. When I first embarked on this endeavor, I did so with a sense of confidence and commitment. As a “Halakhic Feminist,” I have searched for ways to increase women’s involvement in Jewish spiritual and ritual life, and I remain confident in the inherent viability of the halakhic process. But through it all, my highest commitment has been to the integrity of Halakhah. I firmly believe that without Halakhah as our anchor, we would rapidly lose our direction and raison d’etre.Because of these sensitivities, I picked up Tamar Ross’s recent book “Expanding the Palace of Torah: Orthodoxy and Feminism” with a great deal of excitement and anticipation. The author comes with wonderful credentials: she is an esteemed professor of philosophy, a traditional Jewess, and a highly respected Orthodox feminist. Academically, this extremely analytical, insightful, erudite and welldocumented book turned out to be highly challenging because of its interdisciplinary nature, saturated with new jargon and concepts. But it was by no means disappointing. Indeed, more than 300 pages later, I found myself intellectually edified and stimulated by my newfound understanding of the history, philosophy and theology of feminism. Prof. Ross is quite effective at outlining many of the troubling issues concerning the status of women in Jewish law – issues that every thinking, committed Jew should ponder. As a result, this work has received generally laudatory reviews. Despite all the above, I found the book very unsettling. In her preface (p. xvii), the author indicates that, in addition to scholars of religion and feminism, this book is directed to two other audiences. The first group includes those who have been sensitized by feminism but are desirous of keeping their grip on tradition. The second audience consists of those who are firmly Orthodox, but would like to gain greater insight into what the feminist fuss is all about.5 In short, as the title ofthe book suggests, Prof. Ross attempts to span the divide between Orthodoxy and feminism. Unfortunately, I do not believe she has succeeded in this task, and this essay is an attempt to delineate why.
