  • In Focus the Making of the Visitors
    People Need Love – the first ABBA song Waterloo was ABBA’s first single, right? Yes – and no. Join us as we explore the story behind People Need Love, the very first single released by the group that later reached worldwide fame under the name ABBA. Party people failure In this day and age, when pop stars with little previous stage experience achieve instant number one hits through participation in television shows such as Pop Idol and American Idol, it is sobering to be reminded how long it actually took before ABBA achieved worldwide success. Although many in the 1970s regarded the four Swedes as a ”manufactured” band, very much along the lines of the groomed, styled and choreographed overnight sensations of the early 21st Century, nothing could be further from the truth. Not only had the individual members spent a decade performing, touring and recording in earlier groups or as solo artists before they grabbed the world’s attention with ’Waterloo’ in April 1974, by that time ABBA themselves had already been making pop music together for two years – and four years had passed since they first attempted a collaboration. Confused? Read on. The early 1970s was a somewhat insecure period for Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida. Benny had left his previous group, The Hep Stars, and although Björn was still making records with his group, the Hootenanny Singers, he knew he couldn’t count on them for any future career advancement. Furthermore, Björn and Benny wanted to focus their attention on their partnership in songwriting and record producing, and perhaps not be performers so much anymore.

Wien, im Januar 2013 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 236 346 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Romanistik Französisch Diplom Betreuer: o. Univ. Prof. Dr. Georg Kremnitz Regardez cette petite personne dont les mains sont celles du lézard des ruines. Regardez son front de Bonaparte, ses yeux d'aveugle qui vient de retrouver la vue. Comment chantera-t- elle ? Comment s'exprimera-t-elle ? Comment sortira-t-elle de sa poitrine étroite les grandes plaintes de la nuit ? Et voici qu'elle chante, ou plutôt qu'à la mode du rossignol d'avril elle essaye son chant d'amour. Jean Cocteau Remerciements Un merci géant à mon père et à sa belle femme qui sont ma seule famille et qui m’ont aidée pendant la période où j’étais au chômage et où j’avais des soucis d’argent ou quand j’étais malade et j’avais la migraine et où j’avais besoin de quelque chose. Avec eux je pouvais faire des excursions sur les montagnes, me distraire et pouvais reprendre de nouvelles forces. Tous les deux ont vu le progrès que j’ai fait pendant mes études et ont partagé les échecs et heureusement aussi les succès avec moi. Ils me connaissent et m’aiment en tant que personne et m’ont accompagnée pendant mon chemin. En même temps un merci à mes deux chattes qui ont ressenti comme des amies le stress avant les examens. C’était drôle d’avoir une chatte assise sur mes genoux et un livre dans la main.

  • Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE Mcgonigal
    Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE McGONIGAL THE PENGUIN PRESS New York 2011 ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Reality Is Broken “Forget everything you know, or think you know, about online gaming. Like a blast of fresh air, Reality Is Broken blows away the tired stereotypes and reminds us that the human instinct to play can be harnessed for the greater good. With a stirring blend of energy, wisdom, and idealism, Jane McGonigal shows us how to start saving the world one game at a time.” —Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness and Under Pressure “Reality Is Broken is the most eye-opening book I read this year. With awe-inspiring ex­ pertise, clarity of thought, and engrossing writing style, Jane McGonigal cleanly exploded every misconception I’ve ever had about games and gaming. If you thought that games are for kids, that games are squandered time, or that games are dangerously isolating, addictive, unproductive, and escapist, you are in for a giant surprise!” —Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want “Reality Is Broken will both stimulate your brain and stir your soul. Once you read this remarkable book, you’ll never look at games—or yourself—quite the same way.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “The path to becoming happier, improving your business, and saving the world might be one and the same: understanding how the world’s best games work.
