Film review: The Matrix cult
(2003)
Much of the semiotic discussion around the deeper structures of "The Matrix" has tended to center around positive ethical and philosophical systems. Thus, numerous critics have pointed out the Christian subtext in the film with Neo as Christ and Morpheus as John the Baptist (James L. Ford: 8). The Garden of Eden story has been superimposed on "The Matrix" as well with the implication that just as Adam's and Eve's awakening to knowledge makes Christianity possible, so too, Neo's awakening will lead to the salvation of humanity by a Christ-like figure (cf. James S. Spiegel: 13). Others have picked out connections with Joseph Campbell's monomyth concept where the hero must depart from the familiar world, go into a netherworld and return morally transformed (A. Samuel Kimball: 176, 198). There is also the Platonic interpretation where the passage toward the light from the famous cave allegory is read into the awakening process of "The Matrix": "The theme of appearance versus reality is as old as Plato's Republic. And while perhaps no writer or artist has improved upon his cave allegory in presenting this theme, the Wachowski brothers' The Matrix might be as effective an attempt as any since Plato, in cinematic history anyway" (James S. Spiegel: 9). Buddhism and its notion that reality is illusion appears as an equally convincing model for reading "The Matrix" (James L. Ford: 10). Even Gnosticism has been used as an interesting semiotic framework for the film (Frances Flannery-Dailey and Rachel Wagner: 10-12).

This book consists of fifteen papers (considered below as Chapters) on fossil and extant arachnids, mostly spiders. Most papers are written by the editor, two papers in cooperation with Peter Jäger and with Søren Toft, and a single one by Peter Jäger. Chapters 1 and 2 are identification keys to the European genera of the families Zodariidae and Corinnidae, respectively.
Mit dem achten Band der von Jörg Wunderlich herausgegebenen Serie „Beiträge zur Araneologie“ liegt endlich ein lange überfälliges Werk vor: Ein Bestimmungsschlüssel aller europäischen Familien der Webspinnen, wobei auch die fossilen Taxa (v.a. aus Baltischem Bernstein) berücksichtigt werden.
On 26th November 2010 around 3000 psychiatrists rose up for a minute's silence in the great hall of the International Congress Centrum in Berlin. What they had heard before, was deeply impressive and memorable to the audience. Professor Frank Schneider, president of the German Society for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Neurology (DGPPN) asked the psychiatric victims and their relatives of the Nazi era for forgiveness to an extent as only a few German Doctors done before. ...
Ein besonders sensibler – und von der Öffentlichkeit kaum wahrgenommener – Lebensraum befindet sich unter der Erdoberfläche. Natürliche Höhlen und künstliche Hohlräume (z.B. Bergwerksstollen) beherbergen eine Vielzahl von Tierarten, die auf für sie lebenswichtige konstante Umweltbedingungen angewiesen sind. Schon kleine Eingriffe des Menschen in diese Ökosysteme können negative Auswirkungen auf die biologische Vielfalt des subterranen Lebensraums haben, die nicht mehr rückgängig zu machen sind. Die Biospeläologie widmet sich der Erforschung des Lebens in Höhlen und der damit verbundenen ökologischen Zusammenhänge. Jedes Jahr werden für die Wissenschaft neue Arten entdeckt, was natürlich auch daran liegt, dass die Erforschung der subterranen Organismen noch an ihrem Anfang steht.

Rezension von: Rainer Forst (2007) Das Recht auf Rechtfertigung. Elemente einer konstruktivistischer Theorie der Gerechtigkeit. Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp, 413 pp.
Any book that purports to be an encyclopedic treatment of the behavior of insects, arachnids, myriapods, and terrestrial representatives of other invertebrate phyla invites skepticism. That made it all the more pleasing to find this book to be remarkably comprehensive and scholarly. Adding to this pleasure were more than 200 full-color, original photographs of live invertebrates doing what land animals do and about 40 line illustrations redrawn from the primary literature.
