Foundation for Visual Culture Nina Sosna Monumentality ephemerated Monuments, which are generally considered visual, become the object of visual research much less frequently than any other art form. However, closer investigation shows that monuments are an interesting model or even frame of analysis. They are quite peculiar, and paradoxical objects, as they controversially combine many different kinds of things: the immaterial traits of collective imaginaries and the heavy materiality of stone or bronze, fluctuations of memory and the conservation of ideology, object and remnant, arrested past and an attempt to change the future. 1. Russia is currently going through a period of instability that is caused, not only by today's situation of an almost uncontrolled globalized world economy, but also by the transitional form of (post)socialism.

    Adiaphora: The New Culture of Russians and Eastern Jews in Berlin Brian Poole (For Nadja, the indifferent one) Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. (W. H. Auden, "The More Loving One") Indifference has a bad reputation these days. It is considered to be a pas- sive and pessimistic attitude. Those who are indifferent or apathetic don't help others, they don't get involved-they don't care. The proverbial bane of indifference reappears in sociological studies of urban modernity in the guise of a seemingly nonchalant tolerance for the most heinous crimes of our last century. Indifference purportedly reflects the spiritual vacuum of urban man caught in the cogwheels of an ostensibly autonomous bureau- cracy. It is the mirror image of the ethically degenerated and politically disenfranchised subject, able but unwilling to act, and incapable of expressing sympathy and solidarity. Thus the indifferent appear to be more than pliant subjects attempting to recede from the winds of time and the whims of social pressures. Pliant, they appear-for lack of oppo- sition-to comply, to abet, to condone. In short, indifference is the crime of the century. When social critics and sociologists speak of urban indif- ference, the Holocaust and German history is not far 0ff.l There are, of course, other forms of indifference. The antique Stoic tra- dition of indifference was one of the strongest and most productive ethi- cal currents in philosophy; it commanded the respect of philosophers from the classical Greek age to the end of the Enlightenment and beyond.

  • (Or Seven) Bridges of Kaliningrad: a Personal Eulerian Walk, 2006
    MATCH MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 58 (2007) 529-556 Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry ISSN 0340 - 6253 The Six (or Seven) Bridges of Kaliningrad: a Personal Eulerian Walk, 2006 R. B. Mallion School of Physical Sciences, University of Kent, Canterbury, England, U.K. E-Mail Address: [email protected] (Received June 1, 2007) Abstract The eighteenth-century problem of the Bridges of Königsberg was solved in a memoir dated 1736 and written by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707í1783) soon after he had been appointed to the senior Chair of Mathematics at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Euler demonstrated that what is now called an Eulerian Walk (that is, a route that traverses all of the bridges once, and once only) was not possible in contemporary Königsberg. Soon after the Conferences of Yalta and Potsdam had assigned the city and its environs to the Soviet Union after World War II, Königsberg came to be known as the city of Kaliningrad (Ʉɚɥɢɧɢɧɝɪɚɞ), capital of the Kaliningrad Oblast, which, since the early 1990s, has found itself as an exclave of the present-day Russian Federation, isolated from mainland Russia by the newly independent republic of Lithuania (and, beyond that, Latvia and Belarus). Furthermore, the Kaliningrad Oblast’s only other adjoining neighbour is Poland which, like Lithuania, has been a Member of the European Union since 1 May 2004. This state of affairs thus determines that the Kaliningrad Oblast is, these days, doubly anomalous, in that it is not only an exclave of the Russian Federation but (simultaneously) it is also a foreign enclave within the European Union.

UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 COPYRIGHT BY TERRY DALE THOMPSON 1996 ABSTRACT God's Special Way examines the relationship between Halle Pietism and the Hohenzollern monarchy in order to discern the nature and effect on Brandenburg-Prussia of that alliance. Halle Pietism was a reform movement within the Lutheran church in 17th and 18th century Germany that believed the establishment church had become too concerned with correct theology, thus they aimed at a revival of intense Biblicism, personal spirituality, and social reform. The Pietists, led by August Hermann Francke (1662-1727) , and King Friedrich Wilhelm I (rl7l3-l740) were partners in an attempt to create a Godly realm in economically strapped and politically divided Brandenburg-Prussia. In large measure the partnership produced Pietist control of Brandenburg- Prussia'a pulpits and schoolrooms, despite the opposition of another informal alliance, this between the landed nobility and the establishment Lutheran church, who hoped to maintain their own authority in the religious and political spheres.

  • The Bridges of Königsberg - a Historical Perspective
    THE BRIDGES OF KÖNIGSBERG - A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE by Irina Gribkovskaia1, Øyvind Halskau sr1 and Gilbert Laporte2 1 Molde University College, Postbox 2110, N-6402 Molde, Norway (irina.gribkovskaia, [email protected]) 2 Canada Research Chair in Distribution Management, HEC Montréal, 3000 chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, Canada H3T 2A7 ([email protected]) Abstract The Bridges of Königsberg is one of the most famous problems in graph theory. In the summer of 2005, two of the authors visited Königsberg, now called Kaliningrad. This article provides geographical and historical information on Königsberg and its bridges, as well as updated information on the current day situation. Key-words: graph theory, arc routing, history, Euler. 1. Introduction The Bridges of Königsberg is one the most famous problems in graph theory and is a standard feature of textbooks in the area of arc routing. In the early 18th century, the inhabitants of Königsberg, now called Kaliningrad, debated whether there existed a closed walk that crossed exactly once each of the seven bridges of the river Pregel. The problem was solved by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), who was at that time a chair of mathematics at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. He proved that no such walk could exist and reported his findings in Euler (1736). This article contains a drawing, which is reproduced in Newman (1953) and to which we have added geographical designations (Figure 1). Figure 1. Euler’s drawing of the bridges of Königsberg in 1736 To solve the problem, Euler drew an undirected graph (Figure 2) in which the four vertices represent Altstadt and Löbnicht (A) located on the north shore of the Pregel, Vorstadt (V) located on the south shore, and the two islands of Kneiphof (K) and Lomse (L).
