Recontextualized Knowledge
Recontextualized Knowledge aims to analyze the communicative situations involved in the popularization of scientific knowledge: their settings, audiences, and the adaptive process of recontextualization in science communication. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this publication brings together essays from rhetoric, linguistics, and psychology as well as political and education sciences to serve as an in-depth exploration of today's communicative situations in science communication.
Science Communication in Times of Crisis
This volume addresses demands on external and internal science communication in times of crisis. The contributions discuss present crises such as COVID-19 (e.g. vaccination campaigns or political reactions towards the pandemic in the context of science scepticism), and climate change (e.g. plausibility judgements or the role of scientists). They also relate their approaches to past crises, e.g. 9/11 or the Galileo affair. This volume is unique in that it is interdisciplinary from a theoretical and methodological perspective. In that respect, the authors apply concepts from corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, rhetoric, news values analysis, pragmatics and terminology research to various t...
Populist Rhetorics
This book proposes a unified approach to populism that sees it as a primarily rhetorical concept. Populism is on the rise worldwide with both populist leaders and movements gaining power, and the term “populism” resounds in political debate, journalism, and scholarship. Populism as a phenomenon seems to instantiate perennial issues besetting rhetoric (e.g., the charges of manipulation, exclusive reliance on opinion over knowledge, and abuse of emotional appeals), yet relatively little research on populism has emerged from the discipline of rhetoric. This volume investigates the theory and practice of populism under the heading of rhetoric but as an interdisciplinary effort involving scho...
Wissenschaftskommunikation in den Geisteswissenschaften
Der Sammelband beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Möglichkeiten es gibt, geisteswissenschaftliche (Forschungs-)Inhalte anschaulich, lebendig und verständlich zu kommunizieren. Der Band ist im Rahmen des geisteswissenschaftlichen Lehrprojekts "Lost in Translation?" an der Universität Bremen entstanden. Nach einer Einführung in die Besonderheiten von Wissenschaftskommunikation in den Geisteswissenschaften analysieren die Beiträge die Rolle der Geisteswissenschaften im Kontext der internen und externen Wissenschaftskommunikation und legen dabei einen exemplarischen Schwerpunkt auf die Fremdsprachendidaktik/-forschung. Die Beiträge thematisieren dabei u.a. Citizen Science Projekte, Wissenschaftskommunikation in sozialen Netzwerken und die Nutzung von Videos in der geisteswissenschaftlichen Wissenschaftskommunikation.
Ausstellungskommunikation
The German Linguistic Studies Series is a comprehensive and outstanding forum in its field. It has borne the name of its subject in its title since the foundation of the series in the eighth decade of the last century. The series is comprehensive in the broad spectrum of topics covered (language levels, varieties, communication forms, epochs) in the range of research perspectives (theoretical and empirical studies, fundamental research and applications, interdisciplinarity with psychology, the social sciences etc.) and methodologies (the sole criterion is quality), in the rhythm of research (trends are perceived and also set, achievements are secured) and in the forms of presentation (monographs, textbooks, collected volumes, dictionaries). Professorial theses, outstanding doctoral theses, pioneering research findings from wider contexts, but also the surprising ‛stroke of genius’ set the standards for inclusion in the series.

Dimensionen des Erhabenen bei Adalbert Stifter
Die Idee des Erhabenen in Adalbert Stifters Prosa wurde gelegentlich thematisiert, ohne dass ihr bislang eine systematische Untersuchung zuteil geworden wäre. Die Studie schließt diese Lücke mit einem zweifachen Neuansatz: Erstens beschreibt sie Stifters Rezeption der Idee über populärwissenschaftliche Texte des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts, da eine direkte Aneignung über philosophische Ausführungen nicht zu beweisen ist. Zweitens erfasst sie die Idee des Erhabenen u.a. über Naturtopoi, die Verbindung von Erhabenheit und Einfachheit und die Definition als ‚gemischtes Gefühl‘ analytisch als Textphänomen. Entsprechend zeugen Stifters Texte nicht nur von einer Verarbeitung des Erhaben...
Medical Robotics
This book provides a thorough background to the emerging field of medical robotics. It covers the mathematics needed to understand the use of robotic devices in medicine, including but not limited to robot kinematics, hand-eye and robot-world calibration, reconstruction, registration, motion planning, motion prediction, motion correlation, motion replication and motion learning. Additionally, basic methods behind state-of-the art robots like the DaVinci system, the CyberKnife, motorized C-arms and operating microscopes as well as stereotactic frames are presented. The book is a text book for undergraduates in computer science and engineering. The main idea of the book is to motivate the methods in robotics in medical applications rather than industrial applications. The book then follows the standard path for a robotics textbook. It is thus suitable for a first course in robotics for undergraduates. It is the first textbook on medical robotics.
Architecture of Computing Systems – ARCS 2018
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2018, held in Braunschweig, Germany, in April 2018. The 23 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. ARCS has always been a conference attracting leading-edge research outcomes in Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, including a wide spectrum of topics ranging from embedded and real-time systems all the way to large-scale and parallel systems.
Audiovisuelle Rhetorik als politische Intervention
Dieses Buch plädiert für die Relevanz von Filmanalyse und Medienreflexion in der interdisziplinären Untersuchung gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation. Angesichts der Präsenz audiovisueller Positionierungen und ihres Einflusses auf politische Diskurse steht eine spezifische Erfahrung im Fokus: Filme und Videos erheben oder provozieren Einspruch. Durch das Widersprechen prägen sie die Wahrnehmung politischer Krisen – vom Kinodokumentarfilm zu Massakern der 1960er Jahre in Indonesien über Spielfilme in Zeiten von #BlackLivesMatter und einer ‘alternativen rechten’ Mobilisierung anlässlich der Finanzkrise in den USA bis hin zu politischer Kommunikation zur Klimakrise und dem Regierungsha...
