Wie verlief der Prozess der Erinnerung an den Zweiten Weltkrieg in Frankreich, Luxemburg und Deutschland? Wie kam es, dass aus einer gemeinsamen Geschichte von Unterdrückung, Auflehnung, (Mit)täterschaft und Opportunismus nach dem Krieg eine getrennte Erinnerung wurde? Die im Titel des vorliegenden Bandes vorgenommene Gegenüberstellung von „histoire“ und „mémoire“ verweist auf die Diskrepanz zwischen erlebter Vergangenheit und überlieferter Geschichte. Es ist die „mémoire“, das im Nachhinein konstruierte „Gedächtnis“ in Form von nationalen „Meistererzählungen“, die den Akzent auf das Trennende, das spezifisch Nationale legt. Die vorliegenden Beiträge bieten kritische Analysen der Darstellung und Deutung der Vergangenheit. Im Fall des ehemaligen Gestapo-Lagers Neue Bremm in Saarbrücken konnten bisher unberücksichtigte autobiographische Quellen ausgewertet werden. Im Vergleich der drei Länder ergaben sich neue Sichtweisen auf die jeweils nationalen Entwicklungen und neue Antworten auf die Frage nach der ‚Europäisierung‘ der Erinnerungsarbeit. [less ▲]

Mit seinen drei Verwaltungssprachen und seiner kosmopolitischen Bevölkerung ist Luxemburg ein gern benutztes Fallbeispiel für soziolinguistische und sprachenpolitische Studien. Viele Fragen sind dabei jedoch bislang offen geblieben. Vor dem Hintergrund einer Volkszählung gelingt es diesem Band, viele Leerstellen zu füllen: Wer spricht welche Sprachen zu Hause, in der Schule und am Arbeitsplatz? Wie groß sind die jeweiligen Sprachgemeinschaften und welche Sprachen dominieren in welchen Berufen und in welchen Regionen? Wie hoch ist der Anteil der Migrantinnen und Migranten, die Luxemburgisch sprechen? [less ▲]

Tempelhofer Feld, the former inner-city airport of Berlin, has for several years been the stage for an ongoing contestation at all levels of society. The question of what to do with such an immense open space of four square kilometers in the middle of the city has unleashed an unprecedented chain of actions and reactions. On Tempelhofer Feld does not formulate yet another alternative design for the field. Instead, it searches for a nuanced and multilayered interpretation by means of a photographic documentation of the site and conversations with academics and spatial professionals. By going through the field’s recent history, situating it in the context of Berlin’s turbulent past, laying out the socio-demographic situation of the surrounding neighborhoods, focusing on urban development, and discussing master plans that “weren’t meant to be,” On Tempelhofer Feld reflects on the interaction between spatial practice and pressing societal concerns.

Contribution: Proactve Collaboration beyond consensual romanticisms Net Works is the second volume of a trilogy by Brett Steele and Francisco Gonzalez de Canales exploring the changing conditions of architecture in relation to modern technologies and experimentation. The book surveys the relationship between architecture and networks – as a way of thinking, as an organisational diagram and as a pedagogical tool. The atlas documents a longer and deeper history of the modern connective intelligence in architecture. The aim of this book is to unfold the genealogy of the engagement by architects with the network and machines of modern architectural life, showcased by more than 100 paradigmatic examples, presenting a pre-history of today’s architectural cultures.

The eighth volume of the Critical Spatial Practice series focuses on Jill Magid’s “The Barragán Archives,” a multiyear project that examines the legacy of Pritzker Prize–winning architect Luis Barragán (1902–1988), and questions forms of power, public access, and copyright that construct artistic legacy. The archive of Barragán was split in two after his death—the personal archive is kept in his home in Mexico, which is now a museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site; while his professional archive was purchased in 1995 by Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of the Swiss furniture company Vitra, from a New York gallerist. It is said that Fehlbaum bought it as a gift for his then fiancée, Federica Zanco. She is the director of the Barragan Foundation, which also holds rights to Barragán’s name. For the past twenty years the archive, housed below the Vitra headquarters, has been inaccessible to the public. With The Proposal Magid attempts to bring together Barragán’s professional and personal archives by probing the architect’s official and private selves, and the interests of various individuals and governmental and corporate entities who have become the archives’ guardians. Magid, with permission of the Barragán family, commissioned a small amount of Barragán’s cremated remains to be transformed into a diamond. The stone, set in a gold ring, was offered to Zanco in exchange for the return of the professional archive to Mexico. Magid’s artwork directly engages the intersections of the psychological and the judicial, national identity and repatriation, international property rights and copyright law, authorship and ownership, the human body and the body of work.

Viennese émigré architect Bernard Rudofsky (1905–1988) is most frequently recalled for curating “Architecture without Architects,” the famous 1964 photography exhibition of vernacular, preindustrial structures at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Far from simply a romantic or nostalgic invocation of cultures lost to industrial modernity, Rudofsky’s exhibition drew on decades of speculations about modern architecture and urbanism, particularly their semantic, technological, institutional, commercial, and geopolitical influences. Focusing on Rudofsky’s encounters with Japan in the 1950s—he described postwar Japan as a “rear-view mirror” of the American way of life—architectural historian Felicity D. Scott revisits the architect’s readings of the vernacular both in the United States and Japan, which resonate with his attempts to imagine architecture and cities that refused to communicate in a normative sense. In a contemporary world saturated with visual information, Rudofsky’s unconventional musings take on a heightened resonance. [less ▲]

Die Studie unternimmt eine medien- und sozialhistorische Neubeschreibung des Erzählanfangs mittelhochdeutscher Romane. Im Kontext der semi-oralen Rezeptions- und Performanzsituation des Mittelalters werden Varianzen in der Überlieferung des Texteingangs nicht als Verderbnis betrachtet, sondern ihnen wird eine kommunikative Funktion zugeschrieben. Anhand detaillierter Einzelanalysen dreier Romane aus dem 13. Jahrhundert (Flore und Blanscheflur, Wigalois, Wigamur) wird die erzähltechnische und rezeptionslenkende Funktion des variablen Anfangsrahmens untersucht, die Rückschlüsse auf die (epochenspezifische) Wahrnehmung von Welt erlaubt. Mit dem textanalytischen Modell des ›Wechselrahmens‹ und der detaillierten Betrachtung paratextueller Elemente eröffnet die Studie neue Perspektiven auf den Erzählanfang als integralen Bestandteil des mittelalterlichen Romans.

New Institutionalism, a mode of curating that originated in Europe in the 1990s, evolved from the legacy of international curator Harald Szeemann, the relational art advanced by French critic and theorist Nicolas Bourriaud, and other influential factors of the time. New Institutionalism’s dispersed and varied approaches to curating sought to reconfigure the art institution from within, reshaping it into an active, democratic, open, and egalitarian public sphere. These approaches posed other possibilities and futures for institutions and exhibitions, challenging the consensual conception, production, and distribution of art. Practitioners engaged the art institution with renewed confidence by imbuing it with the potential for new aesthetic experiences and different relationships among artists, institutions, and spectators beyond engrained modernist ideologies. Working in these new modes, the art institution could become a site of fluidity, unpredictability, and risk. What Ever Happened to New Institutionalism? reflects upon the aspirations of these curatorial strategies and assesses their critical efficacy today within the landscape of contemporary art and globalized culture. The first in a series of readers examining changing characteristics of art institutions, this publication thinks through New Institutionalism by bringing together facsimiles of seminal texts, new critical essays, a history of trends and practices, and commissioned artist projects and contributions. These are complemented by documentation from the inaugural year of programming at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University focused on reimagining CCVA as a twenty-first-century institution.

With a preface by Armen Avanessian, an introduction by Hannes Grassegger and Markus Miessen, and a postscript by Patricia Reed “At the heart of this book is a simple and profound proposition: to ‘do’ architecture is to immerse oneself in a conflictual process of material production—participation is not a productive encounter of multiple practitioners and stakeholders, but a set of conflicts, negotiations, maneuvers, and swindles between and within a multiplicity of agents, human and nonhuman alike—equally including architects, clients, financiers, and builders, say, but also silicon, plastic, concrete, each with its conflicting aims and different material means to achieve them. Every building is thus the materialization of such encounter. So, despite the hubris of the field, none of the parties to such an encounter can ultimately control that the result—architecture (unlike real estate), according to Miessen, belongs to no one but affects and is affected by everyone—and this proposition asks that we reframe questions of ethics and politics. They can no longer be the property of an individual but a collective set of interrelations—it is through such profound departure from the terms of architecture that Miessen’s new book demands nothing less than to reimagine how we might finally become citizens.” —Eyal Weizman, Professor of Spatial and Visual Cultures, Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London “Miessen’s new book depicts in a challenging and projective manner the problem of politics in times of conceptual indeterminacy, where ‘participation’ of the civil society seems to become the salvation for the political mess we are in, especially in Europe. Well, it is not! ‘Participation’ will not eradicate the Front National, and more transparency will not deprive Orbán of his power. Civil society will not gain power by criticizing or demonstrating loudly against the European system or chatting on the Internet. The populists have understood that if you want power, you need parties. What we risk to lose in that participatory game is representative democracy in its current shape and for no good: the majority of the street is no democracy. The post-structuralist hype for participation fuels into the mills of those who want to play la volonté de tous against la volonté generale, to go back to Rousseau: yet, the plebs killed Socrates in Athens.“ —Ulrike Guerot, political scientist, founder and director, European Democracy Lab, Berlin [less ▲]

Les abus de drogues posent d’importants défis en termes sociaux, économiques, de sécurité et de santé publique. Quel est le profil socio-économique des consommateurs ? Quelles sont les différentes trajectoires familiales, professionnelles et sociales d’usagers de drogues victimes de surdose fatale ? Quel est l’impact des inégalités sociales dans la survenue de surdoses impliquant des drogues illicites? Quel rôle pourrait avoir la réduction des inégalités sociales ? Quel enjeu pour les stratégies de prévention et de réduction des risques ? Un ensemble de recherches originales menées au Luxembourg, s’appuyant sur des méthodologies innovantes et une revue de littérature scientifique abondante, ont analysé les liens qui existent entre mortalités par surdose de drogues illicites et inégalités socio-économiques d’usagers suivis durant dix-huit ans. Les pistes de réflexion mises en avant dans cet ouvrage permettent de mieux saisir comment les conséquences néfastes pour l’individu, sa famille et la collectivité peuvent être en partie évitées ou réduites grâce à la mise en place de stratégies adaptées de prévention, de programmes de promotion de la santé et d’interventions psycho-socioéducatives. Cet ouvrage fournit des éléments de réflexion aux décideurs politiques, aux intervenants spécialisés en toxicomanie, aux professionnels de santé et du social pour pouvoir mieux décider et agir.

What do you do with a show, where there is no narrative for a show? Where there is no red thread, no umbrella framework or common denominator in terms of content. When I first arrived at MaHKU halfway through the year, I encountered an inspiring, but scattered group of individuals, dealing with personal challenges and processes of identity formulation. The only means of unity that I was able to detect was that they seemed to be working in the same space, their studio. The frame: a particular year in a particular graduate program. Critical practice, in this context, could be imagined as parallel realities pushing in the same direction, that is, interrogating the political and spatial realities that the protagonists understand as their social and societal context. The work at play here presents polymorphous and polymathic approaches to the subjective documentation of the contemporary condition, diverse narrative takes, which often take as a starting point the personal struggle with the world, but – more precisely – the surveying of oneself as a critical being. Such practice should be understood and exercised as a sounding-board that makes visible and discloses the underlying conflicts of what one is facing, to exacerbate them, to create and nurture complications, to work with and around them in a productive way, and to then act upon them. As Jan Verwoert put it: “To learn the lesson of the ethics of art and ideas therefore means to develop a sense of simultaneous unconditional trust and mistrust in your own principles of sympathy and resentment, affiliation and animosity, identification and hostility.” Empowerment sometimes emerges in conditions that theoretically ought to thwart it. Knowledge is often generated at the edges or the gaps of ignorance. Hence, personal involvement should simply be understood as a tactic of complicit curiosity scaled to the space that one is currently inhabiting. It offers an alternative rendering of a possible practice that goes beyond the conventional understanding of discipline and vocation. It resembles a framework through which to act: not a strictly political one, but rather an arena for the discussion of how practice itself can become political. Literature is highly personal and biased. Most (good) literature has a Doppelter Boden (double layer). The narrative therefore is not only one of self-experience, but that, which can be projected onto and against a civil society. As opposed to journalism, which is supposed to report about a forensic reality, literature holds the opportunity to smuggle different narratives and messages across. A Doppelter Boden is an intrinsically spatial phenomenon, as – in order for the message to be transported and deployed – one needs to construct the very space in which a parallel reality can unfold. Holden Caulfield, the protagonist in Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, explains his love affair with the museum (Museum of Natural History) by nebulously stating parts of his personal insecurity. In life, with the world surrounding him. Like all of us, he is not only facing narratives of constant change, but also decay and loss. He demonstrates his fears and inability of dealing with conflict, confusion, and – ultimately – change. Being thrown into the dirty reality of the now, this exhibition presents a series of extremely relevant positions that deal with this very question of contemporary identity(ies) and the way in which those can be localized and grounded in a world exposed to constant flux. Maybe one of the reasons why many of us are engaged in a similar love affair with the museum is precisely its ability (and reality) to preserve and maintain a form of stoicism and silence. It is (almost) always the same. Cauliflower, as the arguably hottest (vegetable) shit on the market right now, faces the sad reality of a formerly neglected plant that has suddenly risen to fame (again). It seems that the market of the vegetable unfolds as a twofold problematic here: not only has it become more sought-after, but it is unclear for how long its net-worth will remain intact. Torn between questions of identity and a soon-to-be-dealt with dirty reality of the market, the positions in the exhibition range from Sudanese gender politics, Korean sex culture, methods of automatism, postcolonial subjectivities, to the arguable dichotomy between the craftsman and the intellectual, heritage and knowledge, architectural bastardisation, to human stewardship, the father figure, electric smog, the objectification and censorship of the female body, formats of (social) coding, to painting as spatial practice. Rather than a stable and static exhibition housed in a single institutional setting, the show is conceived as a decentralized form of localizations, depending on what the artists and the curatorial team at MaHKU saw fit. Rather than trying to contextualize the impossible, the exhibition attempts to produce moments of representation and activation, sometimes formal, sometimes informal, sometimes stable, sometimes unstable, sometimes ongoing, sometimes limited to 15 minutes, occurring in different places throughout the city of Utrecht. Instead of crudely enforcing and presenting a (fictional) narrative that did not exist in the first place, the opening of the exhibition will be used as an opportunity to informally discuss questions of identity, development, success and dirty realism in the nebula of what is commonly referred to as the art world. Partners-in-crime will be artist Flaka Haliti, cultural critic Timo Feldhaus, and curatorial consultant Marie Egger. In an essay for e-flux, Hito Steyerl suggests that falling does not only mean falling apart, it could also mean the falling into place of a new certainty: “Grappling with crumbling futures that propel us backwards onto an agonizing present, we may realize that the place we are falling toward is no longer grounded, nor is it stable. It promises no community, but a shifting formation.” Follow your instinct. Embody the willingness to govern. Collaborate when necessary. Assume responsibility. Be liable. Produce consequence: “Refraining is not an option.” [less ▲]

Barriers to Inclusion provides a comparative and historical account of the rise of special and inclusive education over the twentieth century in the United States and Germany. This institutional analysis demonstrates how categorical boundaries, professional groups, social movements, and education and social policies shaped the schooling of children and youth with disabilities. It traces the evolution of special education classification and categories, explores growing special education organizations, and examines students' learning opportunities and educational attainments. Highlighting cross-national differences over time, the author also investigates demographic and geographic variability within the federal democracies, especially in segregation and inclusion rates of disabled and disadvantaged children. Germany's elaborate system of segregated special school types contrasts with diverse American special education classrooms mainly within regular schools. Joining historical case studies with empirical indicators, this book reveals persistent barriers to school integration as well as factors that facilitate inclusive education reform in both societies.

The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed 20th Biennale of Sydney If each era posits its own view of reality, what is ours? The common distinction between the virtual and the physical has become ever more elusive, and our perception of what is real ever more fluid. This book is published to accompany the 20th Biennale of Sydney, directed by Dr. Stephanie Rosenthal, which takes these keys themes as its starting point. Staged at several different venues, the exhibition is organised into several different ‘embassies of thought’, each of which are reflected in this beautifully-produced volume. Traditionally, an embassy functions as a state within a state: a system that enables the occupation and creation of new spaces in established lands. This book focusses on these and other such ‘in-between spaces’, investigating our interaction with the digital world, the blurred boundaries between art forms and the interconnection between politics and financial power structures. The future is already here… features new essays by Andre Lepecki and Franco Berardi among others, new text and visual commissions by a range of artists including Ming Wong, Dayanita Singh, Keg de Souza, Cécile B Evans, and Richard Bell, and a series of fascinating roundtable discussions with participating artists.

Sie sorgen in ihrer Prozessualität u.a. dafür, dass sich eine politische Ordnung fortwährend selbst als legitim und notwendig darstellen kann. Aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive analysiert der vorliegende Band literarische Texte ebenso wie Fernsehserien, Spielfilme und Werbung als historisch spezifische und veränderliche politische Selbstbeschreibungen in einem globalen Kontext: Neben US-amerikanischem Mainstreamkino kulturelle Produktionen aus Deutschland, Ungarn, der damaligen Sowjetunion, Korea, Indien, China und den palästinensischen Autonomiegebieten.

Dieser zweite Sammelband im Rahmen der Reihe „Studien zur Stapfer-Schulenquête von 1799“ beinhaltet vierzehn originäre Beiträge zu der 1799 durch den Helvetischen Bildungsminister Philipp Albert Stapfer initiierten großangelegten Schulumfrage. Gegenüber den Beiträgen im ersten Sammelband konnten diese hier versammelten Studien auf die komplette Edition der rund 2400 überlieferten Antwortbögen der Stapfer-Enquête zurückgreifen (www.stapferenquete.ch). Der nun vollständig mögliche Zugriff auf die Daten hat dementsprechend umfassendere Forschungsresultate zur Folge und erlaubt repräsentativere Tiefenbohrungen. Noch deutlicher als beim ersten Band vermögen diese Beiträge ein gegenüber der traditionellen Schulgeschichte wesentlich differenzierteres, in vielen Fällen auch korrigiertes Bild der Volksschule um 1800 zeichnen.

This book publishes the contributions to the University of Luxembourg/UNHCR symposium on the legal protection of people fleeing armed conflict and other situations of violence. Assembling a distinguished group of judges, scholars and practitioners, the event examined the assessment of claims for international protection in such situations under, respectively, Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention, Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 15(c) of the EU Qualification Directive. Although originally it was hoped that the symposium would also mark the publication of the UNHCR’s Guidelines for the Protection of People Fleeing Violence and Conflict Across Borders, this did not prove possible. Indeed, the Guidelines still remain unpublished, a testimony to the sensitivity of the topic. Nonetheless, the papers contained in this volume demonstrate how much ground was covered during the symposium and how many important issues were discussed. [less ▲]

Erstmals werden in dieser Publikation die Familiennamen des heutigen Luxemburgs aus sprachhistorischer Perspektive analysiert und systematisiert. Die 2500 häufigsten Familiennamen werden basierend auf synchronen und diachronen Quellen sorgfältig hinsichtlich Namentyp, Etymologie, sprachhistorischer Entwicklung und geographischer Verbreitung untersucht. Die Beschreibung der Verbreitung ist nicht auf Luxemburg eingeschränkt, sondern berücksichtigt auch die Grenzregionen mit Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien und den Niederlanden, um historische Gemeinsamkeiten und Migrationen im Raum zwischen Maas und Rhein herauszustellen. Berücksichtigung findet folglich auch der Sprachkontakt zwischen Germania und Romania. Durch ein Verweissystem werden strukturell zusammengehörige Namen (etwa Varianten, Zusammensetzungen oder Ableitungen) miteinander verbunden, sodass die Charakteristiken der Luxemburger Familiennamenlandschaft deutlich wird. Eine ausführliche Einleitung sowie mehrere Anhänge runden dieses Nachschlagewerk ab. [less ▲]

This book is the result of a conference held at the University of Luxembourg on 23 January 2014, which aimed to analyse the Court of Justice’s most important decisions on direct taxation and their transformative impact on direct taxation in the EU over the last three decades. Each chapter in this book is based on the authors’ presentations at the conference, in which they focused on a particular landmark decision of the Court of Justice as a starting point for the development of a specific doctrine and followed its development through decisions in later years, critically assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the Luxembourg Court’s reasoning and its path through the complex field of cross-border income taxation. Due to the nature of this project, the individual chapters’ topics, such as the Schumacker doctrine, the Marks & Spencer exception, or the impact of Cadbury Schweppes, will seem familiar to readers who are well versed in EU tax law. Yet, the depth of the analysis of each landmark case, which is explored from its historic roots and original reasoning, allows the reader to gain an unparalleled understanding of the development and minute changes in the relevant subsequent jurisprudence as the authors chart a way through the nuances of the Court’s arguments. Necessarily a snapshot of the current state of the law, it allows this book to remain relevant as the jurisprudence develops further over the years to come. [less ▲]

This book aims to enhance and challenge our understanding of language and literacy as social practice against the background of heightened globalisation. Juffermans presents an ethnographic study of the linguistic landscape of The Gambia, arguing that language should be conceptualised as a verb (languaging) rather than a countable noun (a language, languages). He goes on to argue that sociolinguistics should not be defined as the study of ‘who speaks what language to whom, and when and to what end’ (as Fishman defined it), but as the study of who uses which linguistic features under particular circumstances in a particular place and time. The book is therefore in part an exercise to unpluralise language, which Juffermans argues is necessary for a more realistic understanding of what language is, what it does, and what people do with it. The book will be of interest to sociolinguistics researchers, especially those focusing on Africa and the global South. [less ▲]

Le geste ne peut être considéré en lui-même et pour lui-même qu’en se plaçant dans une perspective restrictive. En effet, le mouvement volontaire s’inscrit dans une action, et dans tous les cas, il est tributaire d’un contexte. Le mouvement est bien ce qui permet d’accéder au monde : ne dit-on pas de certains malades, pourtant conscients, qu’ils « sont murés en eux-mêmes », signifiant ainsi que le rôle de passeur de sens du mouvement est à jamais perdu ? L’une des difficultés majeures dans les tentatives d’harmonisation entre domaines provient du fait qu’il est délicat de faire coïncider les données provenant des champs neurophysiologique et biologique avec celles issues de modèles linguistiques. C’est pourquoi nous avons demandé à des chercheurs appartenant à diverses disciplines (philosophie, psychologie expérimentale, sociologie, linguistique et phonétique) d’illustrer la notion de « sémiotique du mouvement ». Un premier volet s’attache à préciser les enjeux théoriques du mouvement, de sa conception à sa représentation et à sa réalisation, d’une manière générale et dans ses rapports à la vision et à la parole. La deuxième et la troisième section apportent des éclairages plus spécifiques en focalisant le propos sur les aspects linguistiques. [less ▲]

L’analyse des élections est en soi un enjeu du débat politique tant de la part de ses acteurs principaux, les partis politiques, que des médias et/ou des électeurs eux-mêmes. Les Législatives d’octobre 2013 et, dans une moindre mesure, les Européennes de mai 2014 n’échappent pas à cette règle. Elles sont d’autant plus « discutées » en raison :  Des conditions de convocation du scrutin, la fin de la coalition chrétienne sociale/socialiste avant son terme, a été une source de polarisation politique inhabituelle pour le Luxembourg, qui plus est, publicisée à l’échelle de toute l’UE ;  De l’importance des acteurs non conventionnels et des groupes d’intérêts dans la définition du rythme et des thèmes de la campagne électorale d’octobre 2013 où les partis politiques ont semblé « perdre » une partie de leurs rôles dans la monopolisation de la représentation en politique;  Des modalités et de la composition inédite d’un Gouvernement tripartite où le Parti chrétien social a été rejeté dans l’opposition « contre son gré » bien qu’il fut toujours la première formation politique du Luxembourg ;  De la disjonction entre le scrutin national et européen pour la première fois depuis 1979 à six mois d’intervalles, donnant « potentiellement » l’occasion au corps électoral de sanctionner et/ou d’approuver le dénouement du premier scrutin tout en leur laissant éventuellement de se positionner plus « librement » en termes de politique européenne; L’étude électorale que nous avons menée dans le cadre de la Chaire de recherche en études parlementaires, dans une perspective historique et comparative, sur les comportements des Luxembourgeois de nationalité et des étrangers de résidence inscrits ou pas sur les listes électorales aux communales et aux européennes, est riche à la fois d’enseignements sociologiques et politologiques pour le moins inédits.

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental structures and applications of a wide range of contemporary coding operations This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental structures and applications of a wide range of contemporary coding operations. This text focuses on the ways to structure information so that its transmission will be in the safest, quickest, and most efficient and error-free manner possible. All coding operations are covered in a single framework, with initial chapters addressing early mathematical models and algorithmic developments which led to the structure of code. After discussing the general foundations of code, chapters proceed to cover individual topics such as notions of compression, cryptography, detection, and correction codes. Both classical coding theories and the most cutting-edge models are addressed, along with helpful exercises of varying complexities to enhance comprehension. Explains how to structure coding information so that its transmission is safe, error-free, efficient, and fast Includes a pseudo-code that readers may implement in their preferential programming language Features descriptive diagrams and illustrations, and almost 150 exercises, with corrections, of varying complexity to enhance comprehension Foundations of Coding: Compression, Encryption, Error-Correction is an invaluable resource for understanding the various ways information is structured for its secure and reliable transmission in the 21st-century world.

The essays in this book respond in different ways to questions regarding sovereignty, constitutionality and social solidarity in the European Union. Some of the essays perceive a threefold deficit in this regard – a constitutionality, sovereignty and solidarity deficit. The common view that can be distilled from them relates to a perception that the people and peoples of the European Union have drifted into a quagmire of political paralysis within which essential features of the paralysis – lack of constitutionality, lack of sovereignty and lack of social solidarity – feed off one another. Lack of solidarity, not only between European citizens, but also between Member States of the European Union, derails all possibilities of common political initiative, fervour and purpose. And absence of such common initiative, fervour and purpose quite evidently explains the faltering of Europe’s constitutional project and the reduction of this project to that which Jürgen Habermas has come to call Europe’s “mindless incrementalism.” Unable to arrive at the constitutionality that would allow for the emergence of European sovereignty, the faltering constitutional process has only managed to dismantle essential elements of sovereignty and social solidarity within the Member States of the European Union. This has led to the double edged lack of sovereignty (lack of sovereignty at EU level and lack of sovereignty in the Member States) that has lead Dieter Grimm to observe (also in his contribution to this book) that there may well be no true sovereign left in Europe today. Against this background, it is perhaps no surprise that a non-sovereign body would step in to take over the responsibilities of sovereign government, and do so on the basis of the only principle that appears prima facie legitimate under circumstances of political paralysis, namely, the ordo-liberal principle of reducing politics to guardianship of free competition between individuals that replaces constitutional law with competition law; hence the crucial role that the market-liberalisation jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice have come to play in the non-sovereign or surreptiously-sovereign way Europe is governed today. To be sure, not all the essays in this book share this grim view. A number of them discern an emergence of new forms of democracy or even new forms of political legitimacy in the complex structures of multi-level governance in the European Union. Between them, however, the spectrum of essays that make up this book undoubtedly provides the reader with a comprehensive study of the key issues of European politics and law today. [less ▲]

À une époque où l’industrie du tourisme est plus que florissante, l’auteur de cet ouvrage juge opportun de se pencher sur les origines du voyage en Europe, sur le Grand Tour constituant sa matrice pédagogique et culturelle (de Montaigne à Gracq), et notamment sur l’Italie comme étape obligée, à la fois familière par son patrimoine et insolite par ses mœurs. Le voyage à l’étranger mène à la confrontation avec d’autres us et coutumes et suscite chez le sujet itinérant une rupture de l’habitude, un ébranlement identitaire, voire un « devenir-autre ». Se dégage en outre une équation entre voyager et lire car une même déprise affecte ces expériences respectives : le voyageur/lecteur doit larguer les amarres pour « partir ». L’ouvrage pose en fin de parcours la question du dépaysement à l’époque du tourisme de masse. L’ailleurs et l’altérité sont-ils abrogés par l’ubiquité virtuelle et les flux globalisants ? Il semblerait toutefois que certaines pratiques inspirées par une épistémologie ambulante visent à réhabiliter l’égarement comme jouissance et instrument de connaissance. De sorte que l’auteur gage qu’il y aura toujours des recoins propices au dépaysement. [less ▲]

The current work focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of the analysis and publication of important literary texts using the methods of digital humanities, as well as corpus and computational linguistics. The oeuvre of Michel Rodange in the Luxembourgish language provides the basic material for this study. This includes the works ‘Renert oder de Fuuss am Frack an a Maansgréisst‘ - ca. 40.000 Tokens, ‘Dem Léiweckerche säi Lidd‘ – ca. 5.000 Tokens, ‘Dem Grof Sigfrid seng Goldkuemer‘ – ca. 15.000 Tokens and two poems – ca. 500 Tokens. On the empirical level the work involves compiling a corpus with text critical and linguistic annotations and its presentation as a web portal. A very interesting interdependency arises at this point between theory and practice. It is possible to use the created annotations in order to investigate the oeuvre from a philological point of view on the one hand; on the other hand one can use this knowledge in the development of tools, which can create similar or new annotations and improve their correctness. The text critical annotations consist of reading variants, corrections and a word glossary, whereas the linguistic annotations are of an orthographical, morphological (also including word classes and lemmata) and phraseological nature. The annotations are codes in XML. The first step in working with one’s own corpus is its digitalization. In the case of manuscripts this occurred by means of manual transcription, but the prints were digitized with the help of OCR-software. At this stage the texts were already well organized and enriched with the initial annotations and metadata. At first sight less important but still useful information such as page numbers, line breaks, chapters etc. were marked. However in compiling a corpus from an important literary work the conservation of text critical annotations is of special significance. In order to create such annotations the theoretical principles of textual criticism first needed to be discussed. Then the most important phenomena, such as text fragments, corrections, deletions etc., were documented. For poorly readable areas new interpretations were proposed and those from other editions were compared and discussed. The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) offers a number of XML-elements to organize such annotations. It was possible to limit much manual work by using tools such as TUSTEP or oXygen as well as scripting languages, e.g. Perl. These provide a powerful technique of “regular expressions”, which can automate the search and replacement work at an abstract level. The next and very useful step is tokenization. At this level text critical annotations almost overlap with linguistic annotations. A fuzzy border was defined for tokens and they were marked with their own XML-element. It is essential for further investigation to consider and study the language of the author. For this purpose special attention was paid to poetic styles in the Luxembourgish language of the 19th century, literary genres, and the orthography and spelling of the author. On the empirical level, the analysis of the corpus from a linguistic point of view with the help of corpus linguistics methods, e.g. extraction of multi word units, forms the scientific basis for later digital presentation of the oeuvre. For this purpose a number of tools for analyzing the oeuvre quantitatively as well as qualitatively were designed and developed. The output of these tools is discussed in the current work. Here theories from classical linguistics e.g. morphology, phraseology and corpus linguistics e.g. POS-Taggers, concordances and collocational analysis, were discussed. All in all the following programs were implemented and described: Tokenizer, Frequency List, POS-Trainer, POS-Tagger, Lemmatizer and further programs for word formation and phraseological analysis. The program for morphological analysis and Lemmatizer are basically rule-based, whereas most of the other programs work by means of statistics. Hidden Markov Models, which derive from probabilistic theory, underlie the assignment of part of speech tags to words. For phraseological analysis many current statistical models such as z-score, t-score, mutual information, chi-square-test and fisher’s exact test were implemented and tested. Chapter 3.4 is dedicated to the output of the program for morphological analysis and discusses word formation in the oeuvre of Michel Rodange. Chapter 3.6 focuses on the interpretation of the output for collocational- phraseological analysis. As a result of this investigation it became apparent that many automatically identified phraseological units in Michel Rodange’s oeuvre are not only a part of Luxembourgish language and culture, but also found in other European cultures.

Anhand von 35 qualitativen Interviews mit jugendlichen Akteuren aus linksaffinen politischen Gruppen untersucht diese Studie, wie sich politisches Engagement im biografischen Verlauf herausbildet, weiterentwickelt und welche prägenden Erfahrungen Jugendliche dabei machen. Darüber hinaus wird erforscht, welches Selbst- und Gesellschaftsverständnis die Jugendlichen vertreten, wie sie zum politischen System stehen, welche Ziele sie verfolgen und mit welchen Aktionsformen sie diese umzusetzen versuchen.

How are copyright infringements on the Internet responded to? This study outlines the international, European as well as national legal frameworks with a particular focus on the law of the EU Member States France, the UK and Germany. As regards the analysis of national law, the study differentiates between enforcement mechanism against end-users directly and mechanisms that are directed against infringing materials as such. The study highlights that copyright enforcement on the Internet is a struggle to find the right target and an effective, yet proportionate enforcement mechanism. In addition to the outline and analysis of national approaches in terms of compatibility with fundamental rights and European law, a focus is set on questions of digital evidence and technological feasibility/efficiency of individual enforcement mechanisms.

Les thérapies génériques (thérapies cognitivo-comportementale, interpersonnelles, etc.) ont fait leurs preuves, mais un nombre substantiel de personnes traitées continue à présenter des symptômes résiduels ou rechutent rapidement.   Le développement de nouvelles interventions psychologiques focalisées sur les dysfonctionnements psychologiques spécifiques est alors primordial et représente un défi important pour la psychologie clinique. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage s’attachent donc à les décrire en caractérisant leurs principes méthodologiques et leurs fondements théoriques, et en rapportant les données qui démontrent leur efficacité, leurs spécificités, mais également leurs limites.   Ces interventions sont applicables à un large spectre de dysfonctionnements cognitifs affectant divers domaines de la cognition (attention, mémoire, jugement/interprétation, croyances métacognitives, etc.). Elles s’inscrivent dans une perspective transdiagnostique, et peuvent donc être utiles pour différents types de symptômes. [less ▲]

It is common knowledge that protest movements do not persist over long periods. Generally, movements either disappear into oblivion or transform into a NGO or a political party. The World Social Forum (WSF) is the relict of the global justice movements of the turn of the millennium. Even after more than a decade after the first WSF in 2001 in Porto Alegre (Brazil) the protest events still mobilize thousands of activists against a neoliberal world order. With an extensive ethnographic research, Christian Schröder keeps track of the WSF from its origin to the WSF 2013 in Tunisia. The central research question is how the movement – unlike many other movements – manages to reproduce itself as movement since 2001. The research process based on Grounded Theory Methodology let to the development of theoretical concept called transpoiesis that serves to describe the mechanism of permanent reinvention of (transnational) movements.

This book examines the multiple ways in which rural regions in Europe are being restructured through globalization and the regional development responses that they have adopted. It provides an understanding of the key challenges and opportunities for rural regions arising from the major economic, social, political and cultural changes associated with globalization, including trade liberalization and economic deregulation, increased international migration, and the rise of global consciousness about environmental issues. Drawing on examples and findings from a major European research project, DERREG, the book presents detailed case studies of ten regions in different parts of Europe, exploring the factors that lead to different experiences of globalization in each of the regions, and highlighting examples of good practice in regional development responses. The book concludes by proposing a typology of regional responses to globalization and considering the policy implications of the research findings. As such, ’Globalization and Europe’s Rural Regions’ is important reading for geographers, sociologists, planners and economists interested in understanding the impact of globalization in rural regions, and for rural development professionals seeking to mobilize effective responses.

This dissertation analyses the relationships among the issues of identity, power and the museum and investigates how these factors are linked to the museum’s social and educational role. It focuses on two exhibitions that deal with the subject of identities in Luxembourg: 'ABC – Luxembourg for beginners … and advanced!', held at the Musée d’Histoire de la Ville de Luxembourg (2012-2013), and 'iLux. Identities in Luxembourg', shown at the Musée Dräi Eechelen (2012-2013). A comparative critique of their approaches provides a close examination of their explicit and implicit practices as well as their politics of display. [less ▲]

« Plutôt mourir ! » : voilà ce qu’évoque pour le plus grand nombre l’éventualité d’aller vivre en maison de retraite. Il faut dire que, depuis près de cinquante ans, ces établissements sont volon-tiers décrits comme des mouroirs. Ils perdurent pourtant, en tant que lieux hautement compé-tents car spécialisés et « adaptés » à la vieillesse, sous la surveillance accrue des services de l’État, dans ce qui est devenu un marché des solutions pour les personnes âgées.Dans un tel cadre, les connaissances envisa-gées comme nécessaires pour bien agir en mai-son de retraite sont hantées par le spectre de la maltraitance et de plus en plus spécialisées, nombreuses, segmentées, normées et parfois contradictoires. Malgré les tentatives d’amé-liorations, les professionnels, débordés, s’y décrivent comme impuissants à produire le ser-vice de qualité qu’ils souhaiteraient, tandis que les résidents y vivent comme dans une impasse, avec la mort pour tout horizon. Mieux com-prendre les contradictions de fond auxquelles la fabrique de la maison de retraite fait face au quotidien permet d’ouvrir des perspectives vers d’autres possibles. [less ▲]
