eLearning an der Universität Wien
Das 2004 gestartete Strategieprojekt "Neue Medien in der Lehre an der Universität Wien" - geleitet vom Vizerektorat für Lehre und Internationales - zielt auf die universitätsweite und qualitätsvolle Integration von eLearning in die Lehre im Sinn von Blended Learning. Die Verknüpfung von eLearning mit der Implementierung der europäischen Studienarchitektur wird als wichtige Voraussetzung für die nachhaltige Verankerung von neuen Medien in der Lehre betrachtet. Der Band dokumentiert die Konzeptualisierung, Entwicklung und Umsetzung der eLearning-Strategie der Universität Wien, die zu den ältesten Universitäten im deutschen Sprach- und Kulturraum und zu den größten Universitäten Zentraleuropas gehört. Er beinhaltet 15 Beiträge, die der Darstellung von eLearning-bezogenen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekten an der Universität Wien gewidmet sind. Im Zentrum stehen dabei innovative Toolentwicklungen für unterschiedliche Anwendungsszenarien, theoriegeleitete eLearning-Modelle und Konzepte sowie umsetzungsorientierte Entwicklungen in spezifischen Fachbereichen.

Servants of Culture
In nineteenth century Cisleithanian Austria, poor, working-class women underwent mass migrations from the countryside to urban centers for menial or unskilled labor jobs. Through legal provisions on women’s work in the Habsburg Empire, there was an increase in the policing and surveillance of what was previously a gender-neutral career, turning it into one dominated by thousands of female rural migrants. Servants of Culture provides an account of Habsburg servant law since the eighteenth century and uncovers the paternalistic and maternalistic assumptions and anxieties which turned the interest of socio-political players in improving poor living and working conditions into practices that created restrictive gender and class hierarchies. Through pioneering analysis of the agendas of medical experts, police, socialists, feminists, legal reformers, and even serial killers, this volume puts forth a neglected history of the state of domestic service discourse at the turn of the 19th century and how it shaped and continues to shape the surveillance of women.
Orientalistik an der Universität Wien
Wolfdieter Bihl unternimmt eine Bestandsaufnahme von Forschung und Lehre an der Universitat Wien, die sich den Sprachen, der Kultur und den Religionen des Orients widmeten. Mit "Orient" kommt dabei, im altosterreichischen Sinne, das gesamte Gebiet zwischen Maghreb bis Ost- und Sudasien in den Blick und eine Forschungstradition, die vom 16. Jahrhundert bis heute wahrt.
Macbeth Multiplied
In what sense did Shakespeare’s representation of the Weird Sisters participate in the rewriting of village witchcraft? Was it likely to “encourage the Sword”? Did opera’s specific medial conditions offer Verdi special opportunities to justify the presence of stage witches more than three centuries later? How valid is the parallel between 19th century opera and the voyeurism of madhouse spectacle? Was Shakespeare’s play really engaged in the project of exorcizing Queen Elizabeth’s cultural memory? What does Verdi’s chorus of Scottish refugees have to do with shifting representations of ‘the people’? These are among the questions tackled in this study. It provides the first ...
Myths of Europe
Myths of Europe focuses on the identity of Europe, seeking to re-assess its cultural, literary and political traditions in the context of the 21st century. Over 20 authors – historians, political scientists, literary scholars, art and cultural historians – from five countries here enter into a debate. How far are the myths by which Europe has defined itself for centuries relevant to its role in global politics after 9/11? Can ‘Old Europe’ maintain its traditional identity now that the European Union includes countries previously supposed to be on its periphery? How has Europe handled relations with the non-European Other in the past and how is it reacting now to an influx of immigrants and asylum seekers? It becomes clear that founding myths such as Hamlet and St Nicholas have helped construct the European consciousness but also that these and other European myths have disturbing Eurocentric implications. Are these myths still viable today and, if so, to what extent and for what purpose? This volume sits on the interface between culture and politics and is important reading for all those interested in the transmission of myth and in both the past and the future of Europe.
'Relations Stop Nowhere'
This book attempts for the first time a comparative literary history of Germany and the USA in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its material does not come from the familiar overlaps of individual German and American writers, but from the work of the literary historians of the two countries after 1815, when American intellectuals took Germany as a model for their project to create an American national literature. The first part of the book examines fundamental structural affinities between the two literary histories and the common problems these caused, especially in questions of canon, realism, aesthetics and in the marginalization of popular and women's writing. In the second part, s...
Genres of Modernity
Genres of Modernity maps the conjunctures of critical theory and literary production in contemporary India. The volume situates a sample of representative novels in the discursive environment of the ongoing critical debate on modernity in India, and offers for the first time a rigorous attempt to hold together the stimulating impulses of postcolonial theory, subaltern studies and the boom of Indian fiction in English. In opposition to the entrenched narrative of modernity as a single, universally valid formation originating in the West, the theoretical and literary texts under discussion engage in a shared project of refiguring the present as a site of heterogeneous genres of modernity. The book traces these figurative efforts with particular attention to the treatment of two privileged metonymies of modernity: the issues of time and home in Indian fiction. Combining close readings of literary texts from Salman Rushdie to Kiran Nagarkar with a wide range of philosophical, sociological and historiographic reflections, Genres of Modernity is of interest not only for students of postcolonial literatures but for academics in the fields of Cultural Studies at large.
