The Matrix Trilogy - Reality Vs. Illusion
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Dortmund, course: Digital Cultures and Cyberspace, language: English, abstract: According to the Simulation Hypothesis, what we perceive as reality is actually just a simulation. However, this artificial reality cannot be distinguished from the actual reality so that all those caught in the simulation are not aware of it. Eventually, the Wachowski brothers picked up this idea in order to produce the Matrix trilogy, a cyberpunk story which may have led to more controversial discussions than any other movie in recent cinema history. The story is set in the near future and starts out with...

Conclusion At first glance it seems ridiculous speaking of an 'age' when the period that has to be given a name did not last any longer than ten years. However those ten y...
Geordie Accent and Tyneside English
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Dortmund (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Northern English, language: English, abstract: What is a Geordie? Where does a Geordie live? And how does a Geordie speak and write? There have been countless debates about the definition of the term 'Geordie'. Oftentimes it has been applied to people all across the Northeast of England. In contrast to this, recent studies consider the term rather inappropriate for people living elsewhere than in Newcastle and its direct surroundings, i.e. the so-called Tyneside. Wells claims the term is to be applied to "anyone who comes...

Wrestling Literacy. The Diegetic World of World Wrestling Entertainment
Examination Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, TU Dortmund, language: English, comment: up-to-date in 2014, abstract: This book gives an up-to-date insight into the world of professional wrestling, its history, its mechanisms, and its cultural importance both globally and nationally in the US. The author depicts the diegetic world of the WWE as a genre of its own, a genre that requires expertise from the viewer in order to be interpreted accurately. Accordingly, this paper analyses the way the WWE makes use of semiotic tools and narrative elements. Moreover key issues concerning gender, sexuality, authenticity, politics, ideology, and the f...
Gender Ethics beim frühen Karl Barth in der Weimarer Zeit unter Berücksichtigung seiner Biographie
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Theologie - Historische Theologie, Kirchengeschichte, Note: 1,3, Technische Universität Dortmund (Humanwissenschaften und Theologie), Veranstaltung: Kirche und Theologie in der Weimarer Zeit und der NS-Zeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der jüngsten Entwicklung der Begrifflichkeiten zum Trotz ist die gender-Frage (d.h. die Frage nach der gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Wahrnehmung und Stellung des Geschlechts) nicht neu, ebenso stellt die Auseinandersetzung der Theologie mit ihr kein Novum dar. Thematisiert wurde sie unter anderem auch in der Weimarer Zeit, mit der man auch Karl Barth assoziiert. Der 1886 geborene Schweizer gilt bis heute al...
Der Mythos der Jungfrauengeburt
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Theologie - Biblische Theologie, Note: 2,0, Technische Universität Dortmund (Evangelische Theologie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Mythos der Jungfrauengeburt – eine Wahrheit im theologischen Sinne oder ein überflüssiges Konstrukt? Von vielen wird die Möglichkeit der historischen Authentizität einer unbefleckten Empfängnis von vornherein kategorisch abgelehnt. Trotzdem wird Maria, die Mutter Jesu Christi, bis heute weltweit von Millionen als heilige Mutter der Kirche verehrt. Diese Proseminararbeit kann, will und wird natürlich keinen Versuch unternehmen, die neutestamentliche Schilderung der Jungfrauengeburt auf ihren historischen W...

Deutsche Christen
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Theologie - Historische Theologie, Kirchengeschichte, Note: 1,7, Technische Universität Dortmund (Evangelische Theologie), Veranstaltung: Kirche und Staat, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ab 1919 war es in der Weimarer Republik so, dass keine Bindung zwischen Staat und Kirche bestand, weshalb die Kirche über keinerlei Macht und Einfluss mehr verfügte. Dies fußt in erster Linie auf Artikel 30 der damaligen Reichsverfassung: „Alle Bewohner des Reichs genießen volle Glaubens-, Gewissens- und Gedankenfreiheit. Die ungestörte Religionsausübung wird durch die Verfassung gewährleistet und steht unter staatlichem Schutze. Die allgemeinen Staatsges...
