    Bergt 1 Siena Sofia Bergt Professor Insdorf Analysis of Film Language 26 February 2018 Colored Perspectives: Shading World War II Onscreen Films that deal with World War II—whether their narratives are concerned primarily with the war itself, the aura from which it emerged, or the ethos of its aftermath—have a particularly charged relationship to the presence or abjuration of color. As representations of a period that produced its own black-and-white archival footage, these worKs recKon with color not simply as an aesthetic choice, but also as a tool through which to define their own relationship to perspectival subjectivity and claims of historical authenticity. By examining the role of color in three vastly different World War II films— Andrzej Wajda’s black-and-white 1958 rendition of the war’s last 24 hours in “Ashes and Diamonds,” the Harlequin prewar chaos of Bob Fosse’s 1972 “Cabaret,” and the delicate balance of color and blacK-and-white characterizing the postwar divided Germany of Wim Wenders’ 1987 “Wings of Desire”—we may access a richer understanding, not simply of the films’ stylistic approaches, but also (and perhaps more significantly) of their relationship to both their origins and audience. Color, that is, acts in these three films as a chromatic guide by which to untangle each respective text’s taKe on both subjectivity and objectivity. Bergt 2 The best “entry point” into these stylistically and temporally distinct films’ chromatic motifs is through three strikingly analogous crowd scenes—each of which uses communal participation in a diegetically well-known song to highlight a moment of dramatic urgency or volatility.

    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

    Make & Measure in Analytical Sciences 2018

    MAKE & MEASURE IN ANALYTICAL SCIENCES 2018 BOOK OF INFORMATION October 8th–12th, 2018 School of Analytical Sciences Adlershof www.salsa.hu-berlin.de WELCOME Dear participants of the SALSA Make and Measure, It is our great pleasure to welcome all of you to our Make and Measure 2018 here at SALSA, the Graduate School of Analytical Sciences Adlershof! We hope that all of you are now looking forward to four days filled with new insights into analytical sciences, inspiring discussions, and enjoyable social events. The theme Make and Measure is a major guiding topic in the area of Analytical Sciences and in SALSA as well. Specifically, it is a prerequisite for understanding the function and dynamics of complex systems in chemistry, biology and materials sciences on the atomic and molecular scale. A synergistic and interdisciplinary integration of making new selective and sensitive chemical structures and designing new instruments and principles to measure will advance our comprehension of chemical systems, and their changes. In their work, analytical scientists, amongst them many of SALSA’s fellows, have been working on making measurable what has not been before e.g., by designing new sensing structures and probes. Being able to combine different synthesis and detection approaches and to comprehend the underlying physico-chemical principles will help to solve future problems in many areas, such as biodiagnostics, proteomics, and chemical imaging. Following the idea of our multidisciplinary graduate school, the Make and Measure brings together young researchers from different backgrounds to generate a creative and interactive learning environment. In the tutorials, you will discuss with renowned international guests about their research.
  • Final Thesis

    Final Thesis

    Laura Cavanagh’s Integrative Project Thesis As is often the case with travel, people look back on their trips through rose-colored glasses, focusing on the positive experiences and forgetting the negative ones. While I too am guilty of coloring my memories of a place and falsely placing every moment in a favorable light, for my integrative project I forced myself to remember both the good and bad times I had in Berlin, Germany. These experiences—sharing a traditional German meal of eggs in a mustard sauce (complete with cheap Prosecco) with my roommate; going to a Columbian restaurant to watch a German Fußball, or soccer, game during the World Cup; visiting world-renowned museums on Thursday nights; being sniffed by a homeless man; getting lost on a return walk home from work; running home from a movie in the park through buckets of freezing rain— coalesce to form my own Berlin. These visual and sensory experiences conjure up a place in my mind that is somewhat of a hybrid of my physical orientation and my mental state of being there. So much of being in Berlin was about orienting myself within the city and navigating where I was going and how I would get there. This in itself brought about varying degrees of disbelief, awe, anxiety and stupor. Using a map as my project format serves as a helpful tool for me to organize this space I have built in my memory. In my map I attempt to reincarnate this memory into elaborate paper forms that occupy a real space.
