Humanity has been fascinated with the weird and eerie for ages. With the Victorian Age ghost stories became increasingly popular, a trend that has continued through the 20th century until today, where the fascination with the unexplainable remains unbroken. This seminar will introduce students to a number of texts that deal with the uncanny in various ways. We will have a look at motifs such as that of the doppelgänger, of spectres and spirits, etc. and see how these have changed and developed over time. A number of texts will be made available through Moodle, but students are asked to obtain their own copies of the following novels: John Harding - Florence & Giles (The Borough Press) Susan Hill - The Woman in Black (Vintage Press)

Sie erhalten den Zugang zum moodle-Kursraum und zu den Veranstaltungsunterlagen nur mit Registrierung und Zulassung über LSF.

Moodleraum zum Hochladen der Portfolios als Prüfungsmaterial für die Modulprüfungen in der Kunstpraxis 3 - Projektseminar im Sommersemester 2021, Prüfungstermin: Montag, 27. September 2021

An typischen Beispielen wird eine Einführung in Laseranwendungen zur Materialbearbeitung in Ingenieurs- und Naturwissenschaften in der Serienfertigung gegeben. Die Strahl-Stoff-Wechselwirkung wird diskutiert. Verschiedene Strahlquellen und Betriebsarten des Lasers zur Lasermaterialbearbeitung werden vorgestellt. Im Anschluss wird die Makro-, Mikro und Nanostrukturierung mit Lasern an verschiedenen Beispielen eingehend dargestellt: Schneiden, Schweißen, Bohren und Markieren, Laserauftragschweißen und –sintern, Oberflächenstrukturierung und Nanostrukturierung, Lasergenerierung von Nanopartikeln, Funktionale Nanopartikel und –materialien. Zum Abschluss werden ökonomisch-technische Aspekte behandelt sowie die Charakterisierung und Qualitätssicherung in der Laserfertigung besprochen.

Im Vortragskolloquium erarbeiten die Studierenden aus einem Themenpool in Zweier-Teams einen ca. 10 min. Vortrag zu einer aktuellen Fragestellung der Lasermaterialbearbeitung. Die Vorträge werden in einer gemeinsamen Übung (Studierende + Lehrende) präsentiert und diskutiert.

Im Methodenkurs werden den Studierenden verschiedene Methoden der Lasermaterialbearbeitung anhand aktueller Forschungsthemen vorgestellt und in praktischen Versuchen in den Laboren der Lehrenden erarbeitet.

In diesem Moodle-Kurs können Sie sich für einen Termin für meine Sprechstunde eintragen.

Welcome to this class!

In this class, we will discuss who “We, the People” could be, especially in times of (perceived) threat or uncertainty. Under such circumstances, in many nations, regions, or other groups of people, the question of who belongs — and who doesn’t — is highly discussed or becomes meaningful in different ways. In Germany, for example, one might discuss who is included in exclamations of “Wir sind das Volk!” or other references to a “we” that, by implication, distinguishes itself from a “them,” an “other.” In the USA, “We, the People” is the beginning of the Preamble to the Constitution (1789), but who is the “we” here? For example the late US political scientist Samuel Huntington asked in his 2004 publication Who Are We? And, we might ask, who (gets to) decide(s)? Journalist Jeff Chang, for example, adds a different perspective in his book Who We Be. The Colorization of America (2014). And how do convictions, language, and/or power come into play when a potential “we” (or “them”) is constructed or discussed?

            In this class, the “we” alluded to above includes everyone who is ready to engage with/discuss these questions. We will particularly focus on the 20th and 21st century, and we will discuss a variety of examples of texts and other media/cultural products from North America, but also take a glimpse at other Anglophone parts of the world like Great Britain and South Africa. If you are planning to be a teacher: Some of our material may also be used in school [early childhood to tertiary education].

If you would like to get a head start with your readings: In this class, we will discuss the following books, available e.g. from our university’s library, local bookstores like Heinrich Heine Buchhandlung at Viehofer Platz, or your preferred bookstore:

            Atwood, Margaret. The Handmaid’s Tale.

            Beatty, Paul. The Sellout.

            Lewis, Sinclair. It Can’t Happen Here.

            Urrea, Luis Alberto. Into the Beautiful North.

Other material that we may use for our discussion, including the following examples (intended to give you an idea of what we might focus on), will be made available for you:

            Borden, Louise. America Is.            [Children’s Book]

            Catrow, David. We the Kids.             [Children’s Book]
