Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) — Quo vadis?

LCA - Quo vadis? discusses overarching topics, new developments and major problems of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and compares LCA with site-specific environmental management. The text profits from two years of interdisciplinary, coordinated research activities of the Priority Programme Environment of the Swiss National Science Foundation. How should system boundaries of a product life cycle be drawn? · How can environmental interventions be allocated to products? · How are background inventory data collected and used? · How can imprecision in the LCA method be ascertained and checked? · How can relevant environmental interventions be distinguished from irrelevant ones? · What requirements should a software tool for LCA meet?§ A concept of site-specific LCA is proposed in response to criticism of the current approach of LCA. Furthermore, managerial eco-controlling - the emerging method of site-specific environmental management - is discussed. The book concludes with an outlook of possible paths in the future development of LCA.

Kant’s Theory of Value

Kant’s Theory of Value

In explicit form, Kant does not speak that much about values or goods. The reason for this is obvious: the concepts of ‘values’ and ‘goods’ are part of the eudaimonistic tradition, and he famously criticizes eudaimonism for its flawed ‘material’ approach to ethics. But he uses, on several occasions, the traditional teleological language of goods and values. Especially in the Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant develops crucial points on this conceptual basis. Furthermore, he implicitly discusses issues of conditional and unconditional values, subjective and objective values, aesthetic or economic values etc. In recent Kant scholarship, there has been a controversy on the question how moral and nonmoral values are related in Kant’s account of human dignity. This leads to the more fundamental problem if Kant should be seen as a prescriptvist (antirealist) or as subscribing to a more objective rational agency account of goods. This issue and several further questions are addressed in this volume.

Literatur oder, allgemeiner, Texte sind nicht erst seit dem 20. Jahrhundert inter- und transmedial ausgerichtet. Dennoch ist es sinnvoll, von einer medial reflexiven Literatur erst seit dem audiovisuellen Jahrhundert zu sprechen, dem des Films. Medientransformationen sind seitdem nicht allein paradigmatische Wechsel der Systeme, sondern auch Vervielfältigungen durch die Pluralität der medialen Träger. Neben allgemeineren Fragestellungen und theoretischen Bestimmungen steht das Wechselverhältnis von Text, Bild und Musik im Zentrum detaillierter Untersuchungen. Der intermedialen Performanz ist ein weiterer Teil des Bandes gewidmet, der schließlich die Brücke zu Film und Fernsehen schläg...

Gladiator-At-Law

CAUTION! You are about to enter a world... where all engineering ingenuity has been employed for public spectacles of torture and death where the stock market operates with pari-mutuel machines where a court clerk transcribes testimony on punch cards, then feeds it to a jury machine where the dream real-estate development of today has become a cracked-concrete savage jungle In this world, young lawyer Charles Mundin battles a great combine of corporate interests—battles them in board meetings and in dark alleys—in a struggle that lays bare some brutal promises of the future...promises we are beginning to make right now. “...wholly admirable, in both thinking and execution.”—Galaxy “Reminiscent in vigor, bite and acumen to THE SPACE MERCHANTS”—Anthony Boucher. “...possessed of a bite and savage vigor which makes it one of the outstanding science fiction novels of the year.”—The New York Times “...a powerfully convincing story.”—New York Herald Tribune

Der Selfmademan in der deutschsprachigen Erzählliteratur der Moderne

Als Verkörperung des amerikanischen Traums scheint der Selfmademan untrennbar mit dem Selbst- und Fremdverständnis Amerikas verbunden zu sein. Seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts avanciert die Figur auch in der deutschen Literatur zu einem vielgestaltigen Beschreibungsmedium der Moderne. Literaturgeschichtliche Signifikanz entfaltet der Selfmademan vor allem dadurch, dass er als Träger einer neuen Subgattung, dem Aufstiegsroman, ein Gegenmodell zum Bildungsroman profiliert. Dieses Modell vernetzt Erzählbestände aus der zeitgenössischen Ratgeber- und Biographieliteratur, der Evolutions- und Unternehmertheorie. Verhandelt werden Bilder der Kraftmobilisierung, Zukunftsoffenheit und Maskul...

Geschlecht und Emotion werden allzu oft in stereotypen Bildern gedacht. Vor einem solchen Hintergrund geht es in diesem Heft um Mehrdeutigkeiten und Abweichungen, das heißt um das dynamische Wechselspiel von Geschlecht und Emotion. Die Beiträge begreifen dabei weder Geschlecht noch Emotion als konsistente Kategorien, sondern als Phänomene in Bewegung, die immer wieder neu entstehen. Diese Fluidität kann zusätzlich Raum schaffen oder individuelles Handeln und Fühlen beschränken, was an Beispielen aus Zambia, der Türkei, Indien und Sowjetrussland sichtbar wird. Anhand von Archivquellen, Biografien, ethnografischem Material und Popkultur wird gezeigt, wie Emotionen Geschlechterkategorie...
