Tragödie, Textil und Moderne
Die Forschung zur Tragödie der Klassischen Moderne ist nicht nur dünn, sie bewegt sich auch innerhalb überraschend konstanter Rezeptionsbahnen: Tragödie und Moderne seien unvereinbar, ihre Verbindung paradox und eine literaturwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung somit auch nicht lohnenswert. Diese scheinbar einfache Erzählung, die sich spätestens mit Peter Szondis Theorie des modernen Dramas von einer Diskurs- zu einer Forschungskonvention verhärtet, verdeckt jedoch die Komplexität der zeitgenössischen Gemengelage – sowohl in Hinblick auf die tragödientheoretischen Überlegungen der Zeit als auch die dramatische Produktion. Die vorliegende Studie fordert diese Grundannahme heraus...
Grenzen der Überschreitung
Transgender, Transkulturalität, Transnationalität - Konzepte des Trans erleben eine politische und wissenschaftliche Konjunktur. In ihnen geht die Forderung nach einer Öffnung von soziokulturellen Identitäten auf. Doch die fluide gewordenen Grenzen von nationalen, sozialen und körperlichen Räumen drohen sich in Traditionen und Neorassismen erneut zu verfestigen: So werden Werte der bürgerlichen Kleinfamilie ebenso wie rechtspopulistische Positionen nicht nur immer wieder thematisiert, sondern in verschiedenen medialen und sozialen Kanälen reproduziert. Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen daher: Durch welche Prozesse essentialisieren sich Transkonzepte - und an welchen normativen Grenzen zerbrechen sie?
Immersive Analytics
Immersive Analytics is a new research initiative that aims to remove barriers between people, their data and the tools they use for analysis and decision making. Here the aims of immersive analytics research are clarified, its opportunities and historical context, as well as providing a broad research agenda for the field. In addition, it is reviewed how the term immersion has been used to refer to both technological and psychological immersion, both of which are central to immersive analytics research.
Interaction for Visualization
Visualization has become a valuable means for data exploration and analysis. Interactive visualization combines expressive graphical representations and effective user interaction. Although interaction is an important component of visualization approaches, much of the visualization literature tends to pay more attention to the graphical representation than to interaction. The goal of this work is to strengthen the interaction side of visualization. Based on a brief review of general aspects of interaction, we develop an interaction-oriented view on visualization. This view comprises five key aspects: the data, the tasks, the technology, the human, as well as the implementation. Picking up th...
Semantic Interaction for Visual Analytics
This book discusses semantic interaction, a user interaction methodology for visual analytic applications that more closely couples the visual reasoning processes of people with the computation. This methodology affords user interaction on visual data representations that are native to the domain of the data. User interaction in visual analytics systems is critical to enabling visual data exploration. Interaction transforms people from mere viewers to active participants in the process of analyzing and understanding data. This discourse between people and data enables people to understand aspects of their data, such as structure, patterns, trends, outliers, and other properties that ultimate...
The Governor's Dilemma
Through twelve case studies, this book introduces a general theory of indirect governance based on the tradeoff between governor control and intermediary competence.
Life is Good
Max has been married to Tina for twenty-five years. She is the love of his life, but now he must come to terms with the fact that she is to spend a year away on a work assignment—away, for the first time, from their home, their children and their life together. Her absence leaves him feeling like an Odysseus in reverse: he stays put whilehis Penelope goes out into the world. Max, alone with his three teenage sons for the first time, is left contemplating life and the daily routine of the little bar of which he is the proprietor. As he spends more time with the regulars their problems begin to become his own. This new novel by Alex Capus is a hymn to trust, friendship and life’s small pleasures. Told with his trademark humor, Life is Good is a novel about finding contentment in rootedness as the world speeds up.
Exploratory Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Data
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is about detecting and describing patterns, trends, and relations in data, motivated by certain purposes of investigation. As something relevant is detected in data, new questions arise, causing specific parts to be viewed in more detail. So EDA has a significant appeal: it involves hypothesis generation rather than mere hypothesis testing. The authors describe in detail and systemize approaches, techniques, and methods for exploring spatial and temporal data in particular. They start by developing a general view of data structures and characteristics and then build on top of this a general task typology, distinguishing between elementary and synoptic tasks. T...
