Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Epochenübergreifende Abhandlungen, Note: 1,0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg (Institut für Philosophie und Kunstwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Konzepte moderner Zeitphilosophie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Was ist denn überhaupt Zeit? Wer könnte das leicht und kurz erklären? Wer kann etwas über sie zur Sprache bringen oder sie auch nur in Gedanken erfassen? Was aber ist uns im Reden vertrauter und sicherer gegenwärtig als die Zeit? Und wir verstehen das Wort durchaus, wenn wir es aussprechen; und wir verstehen es auch, wenn wir es hören, falls ein anderer es ausspricht. Was also ist Zeit? Wenn niemand mich danach fragt, weiß ich es; wenn ich es einem Fragenden erklären will, weiß ich es nicht.“ Wie das Zitat aus Aurelius Augustinus Bekenntnissen zeigt, beschäftigte die Frage nach dem Wesen der Zeit bereits Philosophen der Antike. Gleichzeitig zeigt Augustins Überlegung auch bereits die Schwierigkeit auf, sich mit einem alltäglichen und auf den ersten Blick so selbstverständlichen Phänomen auseinander zu setzen. Eine endgültige Erklärung für die Beschaffenheit der vierten Dimension ist – trotz bahnbrechender Erkenntnisse durch Einsteins Relativitätstheorie - bis heute nicht gefunden. Stattdessen sammelten sich seit der Antike eine Vielzahl an Studien und Theorien aus dem Bereich der Physik und Astrophysik sowie Hypothesen und theoretische Überlegungen aus dem Gebiet der Philosophie und Geistesgeschichte. Auch im Feld der Kunst wurde sich der Thematik der Zeit vielfach gewidmet und besonders Literatur und Film beschäftigten sich dabei oft auch mit der Möglichkeit von Zeitreisen. Die dabei entstanden Werke werden im Allgemeinen dem Genre der Science-Fiction zugeordnet. In dieser Arbeit wird es darum gehen, eine Brücke zwischen den Überlegungen der verschiedenen Fachbereiche zu schlagen. Die Fragestellung dabei lautet: Inwieweit lassen sich philosophische Zeitkonzeptionen in Science-Fiction Werken wiederfinden? Es soll also erörtert werden, in welchem Maße sich die in Literatur und Film dargestellten Zeitkonzepte auf philosophische (oder zum Teil auch physikalische) Grundlagen stützen oder ob es sich doch eher um vollkommen freie und fiktionale Gedankenspiele handelt. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, soll zunächst in das Genre der Science-Fiction eingeführt werden. Daraufhin sollen aus Beispielen der Literatur- und Filmgeschichte die jeweils dargestellten Zeitkonzepte herausgearbeitet werden. Als Forschungsobjekte wurden Klassiker des Genres ausgewählt, deren Zeitkonzepte sich alle etwas unterschiedlich darstellen. Zur Überprüfung dieser Zeitkonzepte werden Texte und Theorien verschiedenster Epochen und Philosophen herangezogen, die in Zusamm...

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Freiburg, course: Monsters, Monstrosoty and Alterity In Fiction and Film, language: English, abstract: The commercial slogan of the biggest power authority in Monstropolis sounds like a common saying that could also be heard in our TV and Radio programmes. And this slogan is not the only odd similarity between our human world and the movieMonsters, Inc.(2001). The movie, one of the latest works developed by Pixar Animation Studios in cooperation with Walt Disney Pictures, is an animated movie for children that sets in a parallel universe, namely a world of monsters: Monstropolis. While this movie was not only extremely successful in the Box office and nominated for an Academy Award in 2002 for Best Animated Feature, there is a lot more to discover beyond its surface. Considering the fact that “Monsters, Inc.” is a movie made for young people, especially for little children (rated TV-G in the US) the film needs to meet some expectations. It is clear that this movie is supposed to be funny, entertaining and suitable for children. At the same time it should be fun for the whole family, not only for the kids, because the parents form the audience that pays for the movie. Additionally, movies for kids are generally expected to fulfil a pedagogical task, as most of Disney’s movies do. There is always the plea for tolerance, equality and kindness in Disney-films, like inMulan, TarzanorThe Beauty and the Beast.The story inMonsters, Inc.however, is set on a much more complex basis than the movies that have been produced by Disney so far. The image of the monster behind closet doors and under the beds of little children - usually rather nightmarish material - is used to create a whole world beyond the scary creatures. This term paper serves to provide a closer look at how the monster is presented in the movie and how this typology can be compared to the common image or stereotype of a monster as well as providing a re-framing of the concept on the basis of monster theory in literature. There will also be a short discussion of how the characters in the movie are adopting human qualities while creating an everyday-life and whether this device is only applied in entertaining the audience. In a final step, there will be an examination on how this fact influences the story in an inverse manner and thus creates a comical and ironic view on the common concepts of a monster.

The Gendered Cyborg explores the relationship between representation, technoscience and gender, through the metaphor of the cyborg. The contributors argue that the figure of the cyborg offers ways of thinking about the relationship between culture and technology, people and machines which disrupt the power of science to enfore the categories through which we think about being human: male and female. Taking inspiration from Donna Haraway's groundbreaking Manifesto for Cyborgs, the articles consider how the cyborg has been used in cultural representation from reproductive technology to sci-fi, and question whether the cyborg is as powerful a symbol as is often claimed. The different sections of the reader explore: * the construction of gender categories through science * the interraction of technoscience and gender in contemporary science fiction film such as Bladerunner and the Alien series * debates around modern reproductive technology such as ultrasound scans and IVF, assessing their benefits and constraints for women * issues relating to artificial intelligence and the internet.

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (1997-2007) has turned into a global phenomenon and her "Potterverse" is still expanding. The contributions in this volume provide a range of inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to various dimensions of this multifaceted universe. The introductory article focuses on different forms of world building in the novels, the translations, the film series and the fandom. Part I examines various potential sources for Rowling's series in folklore, the Arthurian legend and Gothic literature. Further articles focus on parallels between the "Harry Potter" series and Celtic Druidism, the impact Victorian notions of gender roles have had on the representation of the Gaunt family, the reception of (medieval and Early Modern) history in the series and the influence of Christian concepts on the world view expressed in the novels.

Research on law's relationship with time has flourished over the past decade. This edited collection aims to put law and time scholarship into wider context, advancing conversations on time and temporalities between socio-legal scholars, anthropologists, sociologists, geographers and historians. Through a diverse range of contributions, the collection explores how legal modalities of time emerge and have effects within wider clusters of social and political action. Themes include: law’s diverse roles in maintaining linear historicist models of time; law’s participation in the materialisation of times; and the unsteady effects of temporal pluralism and polytemporalities in law. De-naturalising the ‘time’ in law and time scholarship, this collection positions time as something that can be enacted and materialised as well as experienced, with distinct implications for questions of social justice.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Dusseldorf "Heinrich Heine" (American Studies), course: The Virus as Political Metaphor in 20th Century American Literature and Film, language: English, abstract: It is difficult to imagine our world without monsters. Their hideous appearance and scary behavior became integrated in our lives and culture. No culture can live without monsters. Children at an early age fear monsters under their beds and adolescents fight against monsters in computer games. We read about them in fictional literature and see them in classic movies as well as new publications. Monsters have always played an important role in culture. But what are monsters? How do they find their way into our society and where do they come from? Not only are they defined by their deterrent appearance but also by qualities ascribed by the culture they appear in (cf. Murgatroyd 2007, p. 2). The anthropologist Jeffrey Jerome Cohen deals with monsters and their role in society. In his work called "Monster Theory" he proposes a method of understanding cultures through the monsters they invent by giving seven theses explaining the monsters characterizations (cf. Cohen, Jeffrey Jerome: Monster Culture (Seven Theses). In: Monster Theory. Reading Culture. Minneapolis 1996, p. 3f.). Cohens second thesis "The Monster Always Escapes" will be of special interest to us. Also referring to Cohens first thesis "The Monsters Body Is A Cultural Body" we will examine how monsters are born into society and how they keep on living within the frames of cultural, political and social relations. Afterwards we will apply Cohens thesis to Richard Mathesons "I Am Legend," a Science Fiction and horror novel, which deals with monsters in form of vampires. In Mathesons fictional work the protagonist Robert Neville, as the only human being, lives in a world of bloodthirsty vampires. Neville, t
