Köşker 2015 yılında yayımlanan "Yabancı Dil Öğretiminde Kültür Aktarımı: Fransız Dili Örneği" başlıklı makalesinde geçmişten günümüze süregelen hedeflerin aksine dil öğrenmenin temel amacının artık öğrenilen dili konuşan kişilerle yazılı veya sözlü iletişim kurabilmek olduğunu belirtmiş, ancak Zeuner (1997) gibi o da konuşma ve anlama üzerine kurulu yazılı ve sözlü iletişim yetisini kullanabilmek için sadece dilbilgisi kurallarını bilmenin yetmediğini, bunun yanı sıra etkileşime girilen kişilerin yaşadıkları topluma ilişkin kültürel değerler hakkında da bilgi sahibi olmak ve dili konuşanların sözel olmayan mesajlarını da anlamak gerektiğini vurgulamıştır. Köşker ve Zeuner'in bu görüşlerinden hareketle bu çalışmada Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu Başkanlığının 2016-2017 öğretim yılından itibaren 5 (beş) yıl süreyle ders kitabı olarak kabul ettiği ve okullarda 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında yaygın olarak kullanılan Türkiye'de hazırlanmış ve basılmış olan Schritt für Schritt Deutsch Ortaöğretim A1.1 Düzeyi Almanca Ders Kitabı (Çelen Öztürk, 2016) içerdiği kültürel öğeler bakımından Tomková'nın (1992) ve Arıkan ve Saraç'ın (2010) geliştirmiş oldukları ölçütler doğrultusunda mercek altına alınmış ve veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi ile çözümlenerek, yorumlanmıştır. Veriler, Schritt für Schritt Deutsch Ortaöğretim A1.1 Düzeyi Almanca Ders Kitabında hedef dilin konuşulduğu ülkenin günlük yaşamına ve kültürüne ilişkin Türkçede 'Ülke Bilgisi' olarak karşılık bulan Landeskunde kavramı bağlamında coğrafi, tarihsel, sayısal, istatistiksel vs. gibi bilgilere yer verildiğini, bunun ötesinde öğrencilerin hedef dil kültürel öğeleri görmelerini ve duymalarını ve bu yolla zihinlerinde hayal edebilmelerini sağlayan ve kendi kültürü ile hedef dilin kültürünü karşılaştırabileceği ve empati kurabileceği düzenlemelere gidildiğini, ancak gerek 'Kültürlerarasılık' kavramı bağlamında yapılması öngörülen etkinliklerin gerekse ‘Ülke Bilgisi’ olarak karşılık bulan Landeskunde kavramı bağlamında sunulan coğrafi, tarihsel, sayısal, istatistiksel vs. gibi bilgilerin sayıca oldukça sınırlı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Araştırma kitapta yabancı olanı doğru anlayabilmek için mutlaka bilinmesi gereken hedef dilin konuşulduğu ülkeye has kültürel değerlere çok az değinildiğini ve erek dili konuşanların sözel olmayan mesajlarını da anlayabilme becerisini de geliştirecek türde düzenlemelere gidilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur.
In the present research a pronunciation training, which was implemented within the scope of the seminar "Reading skills II", is being discussed. Turkish students in their first year, studying German Language Teaching at Uludağ University participated in this research. After a theoretical grounding, the conception of the pronunciation training and how it was implemented in the seminar will be introduced. The aim of this study is to examine, how the detected phonetic problems of the students can be eliminated through a targeted pronunciation training and how it can be perceived by the students. Orientated on the Qualitative Evaluation by Kuckartz et al. (2007) the analysis has been carried out. Therefore a questionnaire and a group-interview have been applied. Considering the evaluated results, possible perspectives for the specific field of research and teaching practice have been presented.
Werbung stellt in einer von Globalisierung und Transkulturalität geprägten Welt ein Phänomen dar, das nicht nur omnipräsent ist und uns mit Glücksversprechen und Idealbildern in Plastik(-schein-)welten verführt, sondern zunehmend als populäre Form der Kunst gepriesen wird, deren Wirkung durch ausgefeilte Formen der Rhetorik sowie eine suggestive bzw. manipulative Bildersprache gekennzeichnet ist. Fach- und insbesondere Fremdsprachen bilden einen wesentlichen Bestandteil im sprachlichen und stilistischen Repertoire der Werbesprache. Der Beitrag gliedert sich denn auch in zwei Abschnitte: Im ersten Teil der Untersuchung wird das sprachliche und stilistische Repertoire (Fachsprachen, Jugendsprache, Dialekt, Fremdsprachen (Anglizismen) der Werbesprache dargestellt. Der zweite Teil der Untersuchung beinhaltet eine exemplarische Analyse von türkischen und deutschen bzw. deutschsprachigen Werbeanzeigen im Hinblick auf die Verwendung von Anglizismen.
Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit einem Gedicht Heiner Müllers, das dieser in unmittelbarer Reaktion auf den Zusammenbruch des osteuropäischen Sozialismus verfasste. Da dieses Gedicht in mehreren Etappen geschrieben und publiziert wurde, gibt es Einblicke in die von Umbruch und Verwerfungen gekennzeichnete Entstehungssituation, die der Beitrag erläutern will.
Es kann gleichermaßen als eine vorläufige Lebensbilanz des Autors gelesen werden, wo sich selbstkritische Äußerungen zu den Irrtümern mit denen einer geschichtlichen Epoche kreuzen. Da die eingenommene Haltung zu diesem komplexen Veränderungsprozess und die Bewertung dieser Wende durch den Autor auch wiederum einer Selbstkritik unterworfen wurde, versucht der Beitrag, einen Einblick in die geschichtsphilosophische und ästhetische Werkstatt des Autors Heiner Müller zu geben
Alfred Döblin ist einer der erfolgreichen Schriftsteller, der die Eigenschaften der Literatur und Medizinwelt in seinen Werken vereint. Problematische Beziehungen des Menschen mit sich selbst und mit seiner Umgebung, seine Zerrissenheit in der Groβstadt, seelische Krankheiten prägen seine literarischen Werke und seine literarische Kreativität steht unter dem Einfluss seiner medizinischen Kenntnisse und insbesondere unter den seelischen Motiven. Aus diesem Grunde besteht immer die Möglichkeit, in seinen Werken diesen medizinischen Einflüssen häufig zu begegnen.
Döblin stellt in der Erzählung "Die Ermordung einer Butterblume" die Erlebnisse des Herrn Michael Fischer bei einem Waldspaziergang dar. Die Komplexität der Figur wird durch den Erzähler und seine Erzählweise konkretisiert. Denn die Konstruktion des Textes ist ebenso wichtig wie der Inhalt. Deswegen führt die Konstruktion des Textes dazu, den gesamten Text durch den Erzähler und die wechselnden Erzählperspektiven aufzuklären. Außer der wichtigen Funktion des Erzählers wird die Erzählung auch mit der außerordentlichen Figur in Betracht gezogen. Die Figur ist in einer Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst und hat seelische Probleme. Seine seelischen Probleme werden durch den Erzähler und seine Erzählweise untersucht und aufgeklärt. Die Einflüsse dieser seelischen Probleme werden durch die Verfolgung des Erzählers gefunden und die Spuren/Motive werden durch die Einstellung des Erzählers gegenüber der erzählten Welt gelöst.
Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage des Geschlechts der Macht im Kolonialismus anhand der thematischen Konstellation von "Weiblichkeit, Männlichkeit und Asymmetrie" in Alfred Döblins Amazonastrilogie. Anders als frühere Beiträge über die Trilogie, die sich mit den Themen "Kolonialismus", "Interkulturalität", "koloniale Gewalt Struktur" und mit anderen sich auf ästhetische und publizistische Schriften des Autors ergebenden thematischen Schwerpunkten befassen, wird die Dialektik von Macht und Gender im Selbstermächtigungsprozess der Amazonen zunächst als destruktiv für innerindianische Geschlechtsverhältnisse und dann kontraproduktiv für die von eigenen Ehemännern angenommene antikoloniale Strategie betrachtet. Eigene Ehemänner geraten ins Kreuzfeuer der Kritik und Gewalt, wobei antikoloniale Front sozusagen dadurch unterminiert wird. Nachgewiesen wird im Beitrag, wie Amazonen, ihren politischen Zynismus betreibend, eher zu Alliierten der Kolonisatoren werden und unbewusst zur Verankerung des Kolonialismus beitragen. Des Weiteren wird untersucht, wie die selbstreflexionsfähigen und vernunftbegabten Amazonen aus früheren politischen Fehlentscheidungen lernen, ihre gegen eigene Ehemänner gerichteten politischen Gesten und Überzeugungen nun von Grund auf umzudenken, um in eigener Kulturordnung Eintracht zu stiften, wodurch eine zukunftsorientierte gemeinsame antikoloniale Front ermöglicht werden könnte.
We analyse statistical and information-theoretical properties of EEG microstate sequences, as seen through the lens of five different clustering algorithms. Microstate sequences are computed for n = 20 resting state EEG recordings during wakeful rest. The input for all clustering algorithms is the set of EEG topographic maps obtained at local maxima of the spatial variance. This data set is processed by two classical microstate clustering algorithms (1) atomize and agglomerate hierarchical clustering (AAHC) and (2) a modified K-means algorithm, as well as by (3) K-medoids, (4) principal component analysis (PCA) and (5) fast independent component analysis (Fast-ICA). Using this technique, EEG topographies can be substituted with microstate labels by competitive fitting based on spatial correlation, resulting in a symbolic, non-metric time series, the microstate sequence. Microstate topographies and symbolic time series are further analyzed statistically, including static and dynamic properties. Static properties, which do not contain information about temporal dependencies of the microstate sequence include the maximum similarity of microstate maps within and between the tested clustering algorithms, the global explained variance and the Shannon entropy of the microstate sequences. Dynamic properties are sensitive to temporal correlations between the symbols and include the mixing time of the microstate transition matrix, the entropy rate of the microstate sequences and the location of the first local maximum of the autoinformation function. We also test the Markov property of microstate sequences, the time stationarity of the transition matrix and detect periodicities by means of time-lagged mutual information. Finally, possible long-range correlations of microstate sequences are assessed via Hurst exponent estimation. We find that while static properties partially reflect properties of the clustering algorithms, information-theoretical quantities are largely invariant with respect to the clustering method used. As each clustering algorithm has its own profile of computational speed, ease of implementation, determinism vs. stochasticity and theoretical underpinnings, our results convey a positive message concerning the free choice of method and the comparability of results obtained from different algorithms. The invariance of these quantities implies that the tested properties are algorithm-independent, inherent features of resting state EEG derived microstate sequences.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is frequently reported to phosphorylate Ser1177 of the endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS), and therefore, is linked with a relaxing effect. However, previous studies failed to consistently demonstrate a major role for AMPK on eNOS-dependent relaxation. As AMPK also phosphorylates eNOS on the inhibitory Thr495 site, this study aimed to determine the role of AMPKα1 and α2 subunits in the regulation of NO-mediated vascular relaxation. Vascular reactivity to phenylephrine and acetylcholine was assessed in aortic and carotid artery segments from mice with global (AMPKα−/−) or endothelial-specific deletion (AMPKαΔEC) of the AMPKα subunits. In control and AMPKα1-depleted human umbilical vein endothelial cells, eNOS phosphorylation on Ser1177 and Thr495 was assessed after AMPK activation with thiopental or ionomycin. Global deletion of the AMPKα1 or α2 subunit in mice did not affect vascular reactivity. The endothelial-specific deletion of the AMPKα1 subunit attenuated phenylephrine-mediated contraction in an eNOS- and endothelium-dependent manner. In in vitro studies, activation of AMPK did not alter the phosphorylation of eNOS on Ser1177, but increased its phosphorylation on Thr495. Depletion of AMPKα1 in cultured human endothelial cells decreased Thr495 phosphorylation without affecting Ser1177 phosphorylation. The results of this study indicate that AMPKα1 targets the inhibitory phosphorylation Thr495 site in the calmodulin-binding domain of eNOS to attenuate basal NO production and phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction.
Platelets participate in the development of liver fibrosis in animal models, but little is known about the benefit of antiplatelet agents in preventing liver fibrosis in humans. We therefore explored the relationship between the use of antiplatelet agents and liver fibrosis in a prospective cohort study of patients at high risk of liver fibrosis and cardiovascular events. Consecutive patients undergoing elective coronary angiography at the University Hospital Frankfurt were prospectively included in the present study. Associations between use of antiplatelet agents (acetyl salicylic acid, P2Y12 receptor antagonists) and liver fibrosis were assessed in regression models, and the relationship between platelet‐derived growth factor beta (PDGF‐β) serum concentration, platelets, liver fibrosis, and use of antiplatelet agents was characterized. Out of 505 included patients, 337 (67%) received antiplatelet agents and 134 (27%) had liver fibrosis defined as a FibroScan transient elastography (TE) value ≥7.9 kPa. Use of antiplatelet agents was inversely associated with the presence of liver fibrosis in univariate and multivariate analyses (multivariate odds ratio [OR], 0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.51‐0.89; P = 0.006). Use of antiplatelet agents was also inversely associated with FibroTest values (beta, –0.38; SD beta, 0.15; P = 0.02). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between platelet counts and PDGF‐β serum concentration (rho, 0.33; P < 0.0001), but PDGF‐β serum levels were not affected by antiplatelet agents. Conclusion: There is a protective association between the use of antiplatelet agents and occurrence of liver fibrosis. A randomized controlled trial is needed to explore causality and the potential of antiplatelet agents as antifibrotic therapy in patients at risk for liver fibrosis progression.
Adult neurogenesis is regulated by stem cell niche-derived extrinsic factors and cell-intrinsic regulators, yet the mechanisms by which niche signals impinge on the activity of intrinsic neurogenic transcription factors remain poorly defined. Here, we report that MEIS2, an essential regulator of adult SVZ neurogenesis, is subject to posttranslational regulation in the SVZ olfactory bulb neurogenic system. Nuclear accumulation of MEIS2 in adult SVZ-derived progenitor cells follows downregulation of EGFR signaling and is modulated by methylation of MEIS2 on a conserved arginine, which lies in close proximity to nested binding sites for the nuclear export receptor CRM1 and the MEIS dimerization partner PBX1. Methylation impairs interaction with CRM1 without affecting PBX1 dimerization and thereby allows MEIS2 nuclear accumulation, a prerequisite for neuronal differentiation. Our results describe a form of posttranscriptional modulation of adult SVZ neurogenesis whereby an extrinsic signal fine-tunes neurogenesis through posttranslational modification of a transcriptional regulator of cell fate.
Vismodegib, an inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, is an approved drug for monotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Data on combined modality treatment by vismodegib and radiation therapy, however, are rare. In the present study, we examined the radiation sensitizing effects of vismodegib by analyzing viability, cell cycle distribution, cell death, DNA damage repair and clonogenic survival in three-dimensional cultures of a BCC and a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell line. We found that vismodegib decreases expression of the Hedgehog target genes glioma-associated oncogene homologue (GLI1) and the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) Survivin in a cell line- and irradiation-dependent manner, most pronounced in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells. Furthermore, vismodegib significantly reduced proliferation in both cell lines, while additional irradiation only slightly further impacted on viability. Analyses of cell cycle distribution and cell death induction indicated a G1 arrest in BCC and a G2 arrest in HNSCC cells and an increased fraction of cells in SubG1 phase following combined treatment. Moreover, a significant rise in the number of phosphorylated histone-2AX/p53-binding protein 1 (γH2AX/53BP1) foci in vismodegib- and radiation-treated cells was associated with a significant radiosensitization of both cell lines. In summary, these findings indicate that inhibition of the Hedgehog signaling pathway may increase cellular radiation response in BCC and HNSCC cells.
Using photo elicitation to introduce a network perspective on attachment during middle childhood
(2018)
In this article, we develop a child-centered network approach to attachment during middle childhood. Following monotropic ideas, current attachment research focuses on parental attachment figures despite the expansion of the children’s social environment during middle childhood, failing to generate a comprehensive and structured overview of all individuals who ensure the children’s feeling of safety. Relying on quantitative methods, these studies are also dominated by an adult perspective, limiting the children’s contributions. While there have been theoretical drafts of attachment networks during childhood, this article constitutes the first practical implementation. Using photo elicitation interviews and participant observations, we developed an innovative assessment strategy that allows children to exhaustively identify and characterize all their attachment figures on sociostructural and functional dimensions, thus positioning the children at the center of their comprehensive attachment networks that collectively contribute to their feeling of security. We combine qualitative and quantitative data to assess the children’s own understanding of their feeling of security and to locate the individual attachment figure on context-specific social dimensions, thus making the research setting, a clan in Cameroon, an inherent part of the methodological development. The data are translated into multidimensional network diagrams to visualize the children’s perception of their attachment environment and the emerging patterns of their selection. We present an exemplary network, supplementing it with observational data to discuss the ecological validity of our approach.
Comparative proteomics reveals a diagnostic signature for pulmonary head‐and‐neck cancer metastasis
(2018)
Patients with head‐and‐neck cancer can develop both lung metastasis and primary lung cancer during the course of their disease. Despite the clinical importance of discrimination, reliable diagnostic biomarkers are still lacking. Here, we have characterised a cohort of squamous cell lung (SQCLC) and head‐and‐neck (HNSCC) carcinomas by quantitative proteomics. In a training cohort, we quantified 4,957 proteins in 44 SQCLC and 30 HNSCC tumours. A total of 518 proteins were found to be differentially expressed between SQCLC and HNSCC, and some of these were identified as genetic dependencies in either of the two tumour types. Using supervised machine learning, we inferred a proteomic signature for the classification of squamous cell carcinomas as either SQCLC or HNSCC, with diagnostic accuracies of 90.5% and 86.8% in cross‐ and independent validations, respectively. Furthermore, application of this signature to a cohort of pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas of unknown origin leads to a significant prognostic separation. This study not only provides a diagnostic proteomic signature for classification of secondary lung tumours in HNSCC patients, but also represents a proteomic resource for HNSCC and SQCLC.
The multi-valence nature of vanadium means that its geochemical behaviour will be ƒO2-dependent, so that its concentration or V/Sc (or V/Ga), can serve as proxies for oxidation state in mantle peridotites. Compared to Fe3+/Fe2+-based equilibria, such trace elements may be less sensitive to metasomatic processes. To investigate these systematics, we have measured V, Sc, Ga and Fe3+ contents in clinopyroxene from well-characterised spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Massif Central, France. These samples were metasomatised by a variety of agents with different oxidation states.V contents can be modified by metasomatic interactions, and other geochemically similar elements including Sc and Ga can also be added, removed or remain constant. A link between V/Sc and Fe3+-Fe2+ equilibria is apparent. Partial removal of V is caused by different metasomatic agents; the common factor is that all agents were significantly more oxidised than the initial ambient mantle peridotite. This extraction can be understood by a decreasing partition coefficient for V for ΔlogƒO2 > ~FMQ-2. Considering that mineral/melt partitioning of V decreases similarly for all peridotite minerals, the bulk-rock V/Sc will also change during relatively oxidising metasomatic interactions and mirror the results obtained for clinopyroxene.
Latent myofascial trigger points (MTrP) have been linked to several impairments of muscle function. The present study was conducted in order to examine whether a single bout of self-myofascial release using a foam roller is effective in reducing MTrP sensitivity. Fifty healthy, pain-free subjects (26.8±6 years, 21 men) with latent MTrP in the lateral gastrocnemius muscle were included in the randomized, controlled trial. One week after a familiarization session, they were randomly allocated to three groups: (1) static compression of the most sensitive MTrP using a foam roll, (2) slow dynamic foam rolling of the lateral calf and (3) placebo laser acupuncture of the most sensitive MTrP. Treatment duration in each group was 90 seconds. The pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the most sensitive MTrP was assessed using a handheld algometer prior to and after the intervention. A repeated measures analysis of variance (3x2) did not reveal significant between‑group interactions (p>.05) but showed a significant time effect (F=7.715, p<.05). While placebo and dynamic selfmyofascial release did not change MTrP sensitivity (p>.05), static compression of MTrP increased the PPT (2.6±0.8 to 3.0±1.1, d=.35; p<.05). Static self-myofascial release using a foam roller might represent an alternative to reduce pressure pain of latent MTrP. Additional research should aim to extend these findings to patients and athletes with myofascial pain syndromes.
Fungi indirectly affect plant root architecture by modulating soil volatile organic compounds
(2018)
The plant-growth modulating effect of microbial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been demonstrated repeatedly. This has most often been performed by exposing plants to VOC released by microbes grown on nutrient rich media. Here, we used soil instead to grow fungi of the Fusarium genus and investigate how VOCs emitted by this system influenced the development of Arabidopsis plants. The volatile profiles of Fusarium strains grown in soil and malt extract were also compared. Our results demonstrate that distinct volatile signatures can be attributed to different Fusarium genetic clades but also highlight a major influence of the growth medium on volatile emission. Furthermore, all soil-grown Fusarium isolates increased primary root length in Arabidopsis by decreasing VOC concentrations in soil. This result represents a major paradigm shift in plant-microbe interactions since growth modulating effects have been attributed so far to the emission and not the consumption of volatile signals.
Tapping the full potential? Jumping performance of volleyball athletes in game-like situations
(2018)
Background: One key issue in elite interactive team sports is the simultaneous execution of motor actions (e.g., dribbling a ball) and perceptual-cognitive tasks (e.g., visually scanning the environment for action choices). In volleyball, one typical situation is to prepare and execute maximal block jumps after multiple-options decision-making and concurrent visual tracking of the ongoing game dynamics to find an optimal blocking location. Based on resource-related dual- and multi-tasking theories simultaneous execution of visual-cognitive and motor tasks may interfere with each other. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether volleyball-specific perceptual-cognitive demands (i.e., divided attention, decision making) affect blocking performance (i.e., jumping performance and length of the first step after the ready-block-position) compared to relatively isolated jumping performance.
Methods: Twenty-two elite volleyball players (1st – 3rd German league) performed block jumps in front of a net construction in a single-task condition (ST) and in two perceptual (-cognitive) dual-task conditions including a dual-task low (DT_L; presenting a picture of an opponent attack on a screen) and a dual-task high condition (DT_H; presenting videos of an offensive volleyball set play with a two-alternative choice).
Results: The results of repeated-measures ANOVAs showed a significant effect of conditions on jumping performance [F(2,42) = 33.64, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.62] and on the length of the first step after the ready-block-position [F(2,42) = 7.90, p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.27). Post hoc comparisons showed that jumping performance in DT_H (p < 0.001) and DT_L (p < 0.001) was significantly lower than in ST. Also, length of the first step after the ready-block-position in DT_H (p = 0.005) and DT_L (p = 0.028) was significantly shorter than in ST.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that blocking performance (i.e., jumping height, length of the first step) decreases in elite volleyball players when a perceptual (-cognitive) load is added. Based on the theory of Wickens (2002), this suggests a resource overlap between visual-processing demands for motor performance and for tracking the dynamics of the game. Interference with the consequence of dual-task related performance costs can therefore also be found in elite athletes in their specific motor expert domain.
Die Germanistikabteilung der Philologischen Fakultät in Kronstadt/Braşov veranstaltete in Zusammenarbeit mit der Gesellschaft der Germanisten Rumäniens [GGR] (Zweigstelle Kronstadt) und mit dem Generalkonsulat der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Hermannstadt zwischen dem 30. März und 01. April 2017 ihre XX. Internationale Tagung zum Thema Luthers Reformation und deren Wirkung auf Sprache, Literatur und Kultur.
Die Kulturabteilung der Deutschen Botschaft Ankara, das DAAD-Informationszentrum Ankara und die Hacettepe Universität boten im Wintersemester 2016 für interessierte Masterstudierende und Doktoranden ein Workshop-Seminar zu transkulturellen Konzepten von Zeit und Raum in den Werken Ilija Trojanows an. Konzepte von Fremdheit, Migration, Transkulturalität sowie Raum und Zeit standen besonders im Fokus der Veranstaltung. In seinen Werken wirft Trojanow den Blick auf die Ausbildung interkultureller Identitäten und die damit einhergehenden Dimensionen von Fremdheit, Ablehnung und Identitäts- bzw. Zugehörigkeitsdiffusionen. Die Entfremdung von der eigenen Kultur und den damit verbundenen Perspektivwechsel thematisiert Trojanow unter anderem in seinem Werk Der Weltensammler.
In diesem Seminar stand jedoch nicht nur der Roman Der Weltensammler im Vordergrund, sondern unterschiedlichste Literatur Trojanows. Angeleitet wurden die Nachwuchswissenschaftler über zwei Präsenzseminare zum Thema Kulturanalyse und Anwendung von Methoden in der Literaturwissenschaft. Der Mehrwert des Workshop-Seminars bestand darin, dass die Studierenden Fragen aus den Werken anhand von Hypothesen direkt an den Autor stellen konnten. Um diese auch anderen Wissenschaftlern nicht vorzuenthalten, entschied man den Workshop aufzunehmen und im Anschluss zu transkribieren. Dieses Transkript bietet eine Stellungnahme über die Literatur und Philosophie Ilija Trojanows an und trägt gleichzeitig zum Textverständnis seiner Werke bei.
Folgende Werke Trojanows wurden für den Workshop ausgewählt:
Meine Olympiade: Ein Amateur, vier Jahre, 80 Disziplinen
Der Weltensammler
Der überflüssige Mensch
Macht und Widerstand
Zu den heiligen Quellen des Islam: Als Pilger nach Mekka und Medina
Die Versuchungen der Fremde: Unterwegs in Arabien, Indien und Afrika
Döner in Walhalla oder welche Spuren hinterlässt der Gast, der keiner mehr ist.
Die Studierenden, die sich eingehend mit der Literatur in Vorlauf-Präsenzseminaren beschäftigt hatten, entwarfen (kontroverse) Hypthesen, die sie Herrn Trojanow im Workshop vortrugen. Folgende Transkription wiederspiegelt einen Abriss über die Literatur Trojanows und zeigt gleichzeitig Antworten, die zum Teil auch aus einem sehr philosophischen Terminus entspringen.
