An der Hamburger Außenalster bei der Sechslingspforte am Schwanenwik wurde 1958 die Skulptur von Edwin Scharff "Drei Männer im Boot" auf einem Säulensockel von Fritz Fleer aufgestellt. Zuvor hatte dieses Kunstwerk eine bewegte Vorgeschichte. Eigentlich war es von E. Scharff (1887-1955) als eine monumentale Stele auf dem Jungfernstieg geplant. Ein kleineres Gips-Holz-Modell in der Größe 1:2 wurde 1953 zusammen mit Scharffs Idee zu einer Umgestaltung des Anlegers im Sommer des Jahres in der Kunsthalle dem Publikum vorgestellt - als Entwurf "Wahrzeichen für Hamburg". Dieses ist jedoch in den folgenden Jahren nicht zu Lebzeiten von E. Scharff realisiert worden. Sehr unterschiedliche Hinwei...
This joint venture between ICOMOS, the advisory body to UNESCO on cultural sites, and the International Astronomical Union is the second volume in an ongoing exploration of themes and issues relating to astronomical heritage in particular and to science and technology heritage in general. It examines a number of key questions relating to astronomical heritage sites and their potential recognition as World Heritage, attempting to identify what might constitute "outstanding universal value" in relation to astronomy. "Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy--Volume 2" represents the culmination of several years' work to address some of the most challenging issues raised in the first IC...
This first in-depth and comprehensive reference on the most pertinent polar contaminant classes and their behavior in the whole water cycle includes, among others, industrial chemicals, consumer products, polar herbicides and pharmaceuticals. All chapters are uniformly structured, covering properties, pollution sources, occurrence in wastewater, surface water, and groundwater as well as water treatment aspects, while ecotoxicological and assessment aspects are also covered. Among the authors are leading experts in their relevant fields, many of whom provide here groundbreaking research results. The result is an up-to-date information source for researchers and professionals working in water quality monitoring, water supply, or wastewater treatment, as well as environmental and water chemists, geochemists, ecologists, chemists and engineers.
This two-volume set (LNAI 11683 and LNAI 11684) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence, ICCCI 2019, held in Hendaye France, in September 2019.The 117 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 200 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections on: computational collective intelligence and natural language processing; machine learning in real-world data; distributed collective intelligence for smart manufacturing; collective intelligence for science and technology; intelligent management information systems; intelligent sustainable smart cities; new trends and challenges in education: the university 4.0; intelligent processing of multimedia in web systems; and big data streaming, applications and security.

Performance Art in China takes as its subject one of the most dynamic and controversial areas of experimental art practice in China. In his comprehensive study, Sydney-based theorist and art historian Thomas J. Berghuis introduces and investigates the idea of the "role of the mediated subject of the acting body in art," a notion grounded in the realization that the body is always present in art practice, as well as its subsequent, secondary representations. Through a series of in-depth case studies, Berghuis reveals how, during the past 25 years, Chinese performance artists have "acted out" their art, often in opposition to the principles governing correct behavior in the public domain. In addition to a 25-year chronology of events, a systematic index of places, names and key terms, as well as a bibliography and a glossary in English and Chinese, this study also offers the reader numerous previously unpublished photos and documents.
Wie geht die Literatur damit um, dass Katastrophen 'einfach so' geschehen und anscheinend zufällig bestimmte Menschen zu einer bestimmten Zeit an einem bestimmten Ort treffen können? Dieses fundamentale Kontingenzproblem der Sinngebung steht im Fokus vieler literarischer Katastrophendiskurse. Dieses Buch untersucht, wie die Literatur das Kontingenzproblem im Rahmen von Katastrophenerfahrungen anschaulich macht, etablierte Sinngebungsmuster referiert und schließlich eigene Entwürfe der Sinngebung entwickelt. Im komparatistischen Vergleich werden mehr als 20 faktuale und fiktionale Texte über drei 'Jahrhundertkatastrophen' analysiert: das Erdbeben von Lissabon, die Shoah und die Anschläg...
