This study of Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus demonstrates the applicability of narrative models to drama. It presents a major contribution not only to Sophoclean criticism but to dramatic criticism as a whole. For the first time, the methods of contemporary narrative theory are thoroughly applied to the text of a single major play. Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus is presented as a uniquely rich text, which deftly uses the figure and history of the blind Oedipus to explore and thematize some of the basic narratological concerns of Greek tragedy: the relation between the narrow here-and-now of visible stage action and the many off-stage worlds that have to be mediated into it through narrative, including the past, the future, other dramatizations of the myth, and the world of the fifth-century audience.

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2023, which was held as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2023, during April 22-27, 2023, in Paris, France. The 56 full papers and 6 short tool demonstration papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 169 submissions. The proceedings also contain 1 invited talk in full paper length, 13 tool papers of the affiliated competition SV-Comp and 1 paper consisting of the competition report. TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers, and users interested in rigorously based tools and algorithms for the construction and analysis of systems. The conference aims to bridge the gaps between different communities with this common interest and to support them in their quest to improve the utility, reliability, flexibility, and efficiency of tools and algorithms for building computer-controlled systems.

In den Jahren 1989/91 hat sich die Welt verändert. Es gab revolutionäre Ereignisse und umbruchartige Entwicklungen, was durch die Grenzöffnung, den Fall der Berliner Mauer, die deutsche Einigung, den Zerfallsprozess Jugoslawiens und den Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion deutlich wurde. Die Auswirkungen und Folgen für Österreichs Bundesländer werden in diesem Band erstmals analysiert und dokumentiert. Dabei geht es um Demografie, Kultur, Länderaußenpolitik, Medien, Migration und Wirtschaft.
Eine lebendige und generationenübergreifende Art, sich Universitätsgeschichte in ihrer Komplexität zu nähern Die in diesem Band interviewten sechs Historikerinnen und Historiker haben das Hamburger Seminar über Jahrzehnte geprägt. Gabriele Clemens, Hans-Werner Goetz, Frank Golczewski, Arno Herzig, Franklin Kopitzsch und Barbara Vogel waren bereit, im Gespräch mit Studierenden des Fachbereichs Geschichte über ihren Werdegang, ihr Selbstverständnis, den Antrieb für ihre Arbeit sowie ihre Perspektive auf das Fach und den Seminarbetrieb zu berichten. Für beide Seiten war dies ein ungewöhnliches Projekt. Der besondere Reiz der Gespräche liegt in der Interaktion der Generationen, in der frischen Art der Befragung durch die Studierenden und in der Offenheit und im persönlichen Ton der Interviewten. Die Interviews geben Einblicke in individuelle Lebenswege und machen manche Facetten und Zusammenhänge der (Hamburger) Universitätsgeschichte sichtbar, die sich in schriftlichen Quellen und Veröffentlichungen bisher so nicht finden. Nicht zuletzt vermitteln sie, wie intensiv Wissenschaft gelebt und wie diese Erfahrung weitergegeben werden kann.
