This article consists of a theoretical framework for and a demonstration of the process of visualizing the finding aid to Franz Rosenzweig’s archive at the University of Kassel, which contains metadata describing documents and letters pertaining to the German-Jewish philosopher, pedagogue, and translator. Its main contention is that much of the work undertaken by the digital humanities, especially data conversion, refinement, and visualization, involves salient yet undertheorized moments of translation. Indeed, Rosenzweig’s own theory of translation, which advocates radical formal fidelity to the original, offers a revealing lens to understand the potential and limitations of visualizing the metadata of his archive – a lens I use to guide my translation of the archival metadata. As I show, the visualization’s inclusion of peripheral voices in his archive implied by such fidelity exposes a correspondence between the journalist Siegfried Kracauer and educator Ernst Simon that calls the ideological implications of Rosenzweig’s theory of translation into question. This dialectical movement between theory and praxis, metadata and material archive, I contend, is the promise and productive threat that the digital humanities represent for German Studies: as much as the digital humanities pave new inroads for research, they also require and return us to critical concepts central to German literary and cultural discourse, such as translation.

In the introduction to the second volume of his history of sexuality Foucault suggests that “the effort to think one’s own history” might “free thought from what it silently thinks, and so enable it to think differently”—in this case, presumably, to think differently about sexuality.  Insisting on the historicity of the Arthurian world more resolutely than any of his contemporary romance authors, Hartmann von Aue uses that fictional history to suggest ways of thinking about love (which includes much of what we call sexuality) quite different from the thinking on that subject among his noble audiences.  We can use some of the ideas that Hartmann proposes, which have become part of our history, to help us recognize what we “silently” think about sexuality, and thus free ourselves to think differently.

The Arolsen Archives' crowdsourcing project #EveryNameCounts began in 2020 as a school campaign and within a few months grew into a worldwide initiative. Through the work of volunteers, millions of records of concentration camp documents are captured. On the one hand, this data basis optimizes the search in the online archive of the Arolsen Archives and, on the other hand, makes research based on mass data possible in the first place. The work of the volunteers goes far beyond mere data collection. A digital monument is being created. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nach einem kurzen historischen Rückblick auf das Bezirksmuseum Josefstadt in Wien werden die Herkunft der Bibliotheksbestände und die beengte Raumsituation beschrieben. Abschließend wird auf die Erfassung der Medien mittels der Bibliothekssoftware „Biblioweb“ eingegangen.

The use of EDP systems brought about a radical change in the use and management of university libraries from the 1970s onwards. The library of the University of Graz was one of the first libraries in Europe, as well as the first library in Austria, to develop and deploy an electronic library system. This article provides a historical overview of the beginnings, development, and distribution of electronic library systems in general and at the University of Graz in particular. It presents the library systems GRIBS, EMILE, FBInfo, BIBOS, ALEPH, and ALMA, which have been used over the decades, as well as the development from the first online databases to CDROM databases and modern database retrieval.

Nicht zuletzt auch wegen der nur sechssemestrigen Stu-diendauer von angehenden Primarstufenlehrpersonen an der PH Zürich ist es im Sinne des Modells der Didaktischen Rekonstruktion (MDR) (Kattmann, Duit, Gropengießer & Komorek, 1997) für Dozierende der Fachdidaktik Natur, Mensch, Gesellschaft (NMG) nötig und wichtig, die fachlichen Vorstellungen, Überzeugungen und Einstellungen der Studierenden zu Gegenständen, Strukturen, Zielen und Prinzipien des NMG-Unterrichts zu kennen. Nur so können möglichst wirkungsvolle Lehrveranstaltungen gestaltet werden. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Einblick, wie das MDR als Bezugsrahmen für die hochschuldidaktische Curriculumsentwicklung sowie als Forschungs- und Reflexionsrahmen für die Lehre an der PH Zürich genutzt wird. Eine empirische Erhebung untersucht beispielsweise bei Studienanfänger*innen mittels qualitativer Fragebögen epistemische Überzeugungen zur Geschichte (Mathis, 2021). Im Kontext der Einführung des neuen Kompetenzberei-ches Ethik werden in einer zweiten Studie die epistemischen Überzeugungen von Studierenden zum Philosophieren mit Kindern (PmK) untersucht (Kümin, 2020). Eine weitere Studie untersucht quantitativ die Überzeugungen und motivationalen Aspekte von Primarstufenstudierenden in Naturwissenschaften mittels eines Prä-Postfragebogens (Breitenmoser, Brückmann & Detken, n.d.).

The history of the Institute for Information Science at the University of Graz in Austria from its foundation in 1987 until its merger with other institutes in 2020 is described and supplemented with data from bibliometric analyses of publications. Finally, the integration of information science in new study programmes is described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From seven billion people on our planet, only two billion are Christians and, from these, a majority are unpracticing Christians. As Pope John Paul II was writing in 1990, “The mission of Christ the Redeemer, which is entrusted to the Church, is still very far from completion” (Redemptoris Missio, 1). Considering all this reality, in the last century we have witnessed a revival of the kerygma in the field of theological research, both theoretical and practical. In the coming articles, we wish to present, in chronological order, the steps through which kerygma became the guiding figure of the renewal of the evangelization in the twentieth century. This article presents the contribution of “The New Hermeneutic” to the kerygma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is a two-part paper: in the first one, a personal story serves as a conceptual prism through which I address the issue of how a queer analyst can be a problem for analytical psychology; in the second, I present some readings and images-mostly from decolonial feminisms-that have been of interest to me lately in my path to queer Jungian psychology, that is, to de-essentialize and de-individualize its theory and practice. By borrowing (and altering) the title from Gloria Anzaldúa's (1991/2009a) essay "To(o) queer the writer", this paper explores some themes she has elaborated there on solidarity, theorization and ways of writing and reading from othered points of view. In dialogue with Donna Haraway's (2016) Staying with the Trouble and Ursula K. Le Guin's (1989/2000) The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, together with the imagery of bags, weaving and string figures game, this paper aims to explore the potential of what I have called "woven onto-epistemologies". By imagining and developing this new condition of knowledge, other stories and theories in analytical psychology may have an opportunity to be told., (© 2024 The Society of Analytical Psychology.)

In his book Aion, Jung describes something like a quasi-Hegelian progressive historical realization of the Self in a perspective similar to Fernand Braudel's longue durée history. This article deals with a similar perspective, as it tries to focus on what we may call a "cultural complex" yet within its unfolding in historical time and belonging not to just one specific cultural group, but to a large cultural basin, which we may indicate as the "West". This complex marks the birth and development of modernity. The depth, pervasiveness and duration of this cultural complex permeates the lives and psychologies of all of those that are part of it. Therefore, every analytical project must take into account the underlying emotional, epistemic and social field within which this complex constellates. One of the main features of this (trans)cultural complex, strictly connected with the progressive fragmentation of the self and the transformation of the numinosum with its meaning-giving force, is paranoia. This article analyses the historical and cultural features that produce paranoia and fragmentation and determine paranoid symptoms and attitudes., (© 2024 The Society of Analytical Psychology.)

Rezension

This article tries to offer a new perspective on parchment, mainly with regard to animals whose skins were, and sometimes still are, used to manufacture this writing material. A short outline of the manufacturing process serves as a basis and is complemented by a similarly short history of development and usage. Subsequently, some calculations, which should not be taken too seriously, may illustrate the huge number of animals that had to be slaughtered to produce enough parchment for all the codices in the older collections of our libraries. The second main topic is the animals who served as the main source for parchment during the German Middle Ages, namely sheep, goats and cattle. Therefore aspects of zooarchaeology and agricultural history are brought up here as well.
