Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Bamberg (Lehrstuhl für Englische Sprachwissenschaft ), course: English Etymology, language: English, abstract: "Nothing is perfectly static. Every word, every grammatical element, every locution, every sound and accent is a slowly changing configuration, molded by the invisible and impersonal drift that is the life of language." (Sapir 1949: 171) Reading this quote, in which Edward Sapir describes the nature of language, there are two important points, which I would like to use as a starting point for this paper. The first point is that language undergoes a contin...
Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bamberg (Lehrstuhl für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: In the following text I would like to give an approach to the paralysis of the main character in James Joyce's short story Eveline. In doing so, I will take a look at the origin and the consequences of her paralysis and the different roles she has to play as a woman. In addition I'm going to examine the relationships that she has to the people in her closer environment i. e. her father and her "lover" Frank.
With increasing intensity, CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) is determining the daily work of today's architectural offices. Computers allow complex designs to be visualized and altered with great speed and accuracy; three-dimensional models can be created with simulation and animation possibilities, and links to the World Wide Web provide access to a flow of information. The author develops his thesis that these aspects do not just enable the creative process to be optimized in a quantitative sense but also qualitatively. Alongside the spatial and time dimensions, the new electronic possibilities provide a fifth dimension in architecture.

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bamberg (Lehrstuhl für Anglistik), course: Chicano Literature, language: English, abstract: In the following text I would like to give an approach to the identity of the protagonist Esperanza Cordero in the novel "The House on Mango Street". I will start with a short summary of the book. In part 3 I will take a closer look on the characters in her environment that coined her most during the stay on Mango Street. Part 4 finally will occupy with Esperanza's identity, on the one hand as awoman and on the other hand as a writer. In part 5 I will sum up my results and draw a conclusion.
Since the establishment of the CAAD futures Foundation in 1985 CAAD experts from all over the world meet every two years to present and at the same time document the state of art of research in Computer Aided Architectural Design. The history of CAAD futures started in the Netherlands at the Technical Universities of Eindhoven and Delft, where the CAAD futures Foundation came into being. Then CAAD futures crossed the oceans for the first time, the third CAAD futures in 1989 was held at Harvard University. Next stations in the evolution were in 1991 Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the ETC, Zürich. In 1993 the conference was organized by Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh and in 1995 by National University, Singapore, CAAD futures 1995 marked the world wide nature by organizing it for the first time in Asia. Proceedings of CAAD futures held biannually provide a complete review of the state of research in Computer Aided Architectural Design.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,7, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg (Lehrstuhl für Neuere Deutsche Literaturwissenschaft ), Veranstaltung: Literatur des Naturalismus - Kultur um 1900, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, mithilfe der Psychoanalyse eine Figurenanalyse durchzuführen und die Ursachen und Folgen offenzulegen, die für die Tat des Sohnes verantwortlich zu machen sind. Die Psychoanalyse, in diesem Fall angewandt auf die Literatur, bietet somit "[...] einen Lektüreschlüssel und läßt den Sinn wieder verständlich [...]" werden.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2,7, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg (Professur für Neuere deutsche Literaturwissenschaft und Literaturvermittlung), Veranstaltung: PS: Helmut Krausser, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Schon mit dem Titel "Schmerznovelle" gibt der Autor Helmut Krausser einen deutlichen Hinweis auf die Gattungszugehörigkeit seines Textes. Auf der einen Seite baut der Autor damit einen gezielten Erwartungshorizont beim Leser auf und setzt sich auf der anderen Seite selbst enge Grenzen, da die von ihm gewählte Gattung strenge Vorschriften hat. Doch ist der vorliegende Text tatsächlich eine Novelle? Also bleibt der Autor wirklich innerhalb dieses engen Korsetts? Mit dieser Fragestellung befasst sich diese Arbeit. Eine Schwierigkeit ist dabei, dass man die literarische Gattung der Novelle nicht vollständig klar definieren, höchstens grob eingrenzen kann. Oder mit den Worten von Wolfgang Rath formuliert, der die Novelle als "[...] nie formal erstarrt, im immer wieder neuen Spiel mit ihrer Form bis heute lebendig geblieben [...]" beschreibt.
Edited by Professor Maia Engeli and with a contribution by Professor Gerhard Schmitt, both of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Z rich), this book presents 33 exciting new projects which demonstrate the growing significance of CAAD for today's architects. Divided into 5 main chapters: Design in Space and Time; Learning and Creative Collaboration; Virtual Environments; IT and Practice; and Blurring Boundaries, the projects illustrate how computers can be used innovatively and creatively in designing physical, virtual and hybrid architecture. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction between man and computer, and also on the aesthetic aspects. The book is accompanied by a C...
