Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates a Disse

Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Richard Block, Chair Sabine Wilke Ellwood Wiggins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Germanics ©Copyright 2018 Nathan Jensen Bates University of Washington Abstract Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Richard Block Germanics This dissertation explores the question of how German modernist novels anticipate and critique the transhumanist theory of mind-uploading in an attempt to avert binary thinking. German modernist novels simulate the mind and expose the indistinct limits of that simulation. Simulation is understood in this study as defined by Jean Baudrillard in Simulacra and Simulation. The novels discussed in this work include Thomas Mann’s Der Zauberberg; Hermann Broch’s Die Schlafwandler; Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz: Die Geschichte von Franz Biberkopf; and, in the conclusion, Irmgard Keun’s Das Kunstseidene Mädchen is offered as a field of future inquiry. These primary sources disclose at least three aspects of the mind that are resistant to discrete articulation; that is, the uploading or extraction of the mind into a foreign context. A fourth is proposed, but only provisionally, in the conclusion of this work. The aspects resistant to uploading are defined and discussed as situatedness, plurality, and adaptability to ambiguity. Each of these aspects relates to one of the three steps of mind- uploading summarized in Nick Bostrom’s treatment of the subject.
Schweizer Gegenwartsliteratur

513 Exkurs 1: » ... fremd und fern wie in Grönland«• Schweizer Gegenwartsliteratur Die Schweiz, von Deutschland aus betrachtet-da entsteht das Bild einer Die Schweiz Insel: eine Insel der Stabilität und Solidität und Neutralität inmitten eines Meeres politisch-ökonomischer Unwägbarkeiten und Unwegsam- keiten. Eine Zwingburg der Finanz- und Währungshoheit, eine calvinisti- sche Einsiedelei, in der das Bankgeheimnis so gut gehütet wird wie an- dernorts kaum das Beichtgeheimnis, getragen und geprägt von einem tra ditionsreichen Patriarchat, das so konservativ fühlt wie es republikanisch handelt, umstellt von einem panoramatischen Massiv uneinnehmbarer Gipfelriesen. Ein einziger Anachronismus, durchsäumt von blauen Seen und grünen Wiesen und einer Armee, die ihresgleichen sucht auf der Welt. Ein Hort »machtgeschützter Innerlichkeit<<, mit Thomas Mann zu reden - eine Insel, von Deutschland aus betrachtet. Mag dieses Postkartenbild auch als Prospektparodie erscheinen - es entbehrt doch nicht des Körnchens Wahrheit, das bisweilen auch Pro spekte in sich tragen. >>Was die Schweiz für viele Leute so anziehend macht, daß sie sich hier niederzulassen wünschen, ist vielerlei<<, wußte schon zu Beginn der 60er Jahre ein nicht unbekannter Schweizer Schrift steller, Max Frisch nämlich, zu berichten: >>ein hoher Lebensstandard für solche, die ihn sich leisten können; Erwerbsmöglichkeit; die Gewähr eines Rechtsstaates, der funktioniert. Auch liegt die Schweiz geogra phisch nicht abseits: sofort ist man in Paris oder Mailand oder Wien. Man muß hier keine abseitige Sprache lernen; wer unsere Mundart nicht ver steht, wird trotzdem verstanden.( ...) Die Währung gilt als stabil. Die Po litik, die die Schweizer beschäftigt, bleibt ihre Familienangelegenheit.<< Kurz: >>Hier läßt sich leben, >Europäer sein<.<< Soweit das Bild- von der Schweiz aus betrachtet-, das sich die Deutschen von ihr machen.

Staging Memory: The Drama Inside the Language of Elfriede Jelinek Abstract This essay focuses on Jelinek's problematic relationship to her native Austria, as it is reflected in some of her most recent plays: Ein Sportstück (A Piece About Sports), In den Alpen (In the Alps) and Das Werk (The Plant). Taking her acceptance speech for the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature as a starting point, my essay explores Jelinek's unique approach to her native language, which carries both the burden of historic guilt and the challenge of a distinguished, if tortured literary legacy. Furthermore, I examine the performative force of her language. Jelinek's "Dramas" do not unfold in action and dialogue, rather, they are embedded in the grammar itself.

COURSE OUTLINE : GRMN 012 Last Revised and Approved: 10/23/2008 CURRICULUM Subject Code and Course Number: GRMN 012 Division : Languages Course Title : GERMAN LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION Summarize the need/purpose/reason for this proposal German 12 appeals to the general college population as well as students already enrolled in German language classes. Since the German program cannot offer literature courses in German at this point, reading major works in translation is the next best thing. Furthermore, a survey of German literary movements enhances students' understanding of the history and culture of the German-speaking countries and complements the popular German Civilization course. Beyond that, studying works of German literature that represent different historical periods and cultural contexts will challenge students to analyze broader issues and ideas and make connections with global themes addressed in other courses in the Languages, English, and Social Sciences Divisions. Finally, Literature in Translation is already well established in the Languages Division in these foreign language classes: Chinese 12, Japanese 12, Spanish 12, and Italian 12. SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes) 1. Recognize and discuss key characteristics of major periods of German literature. 2. Compare and contrast dominant themes, relevant topics, and stylistic conventions in representative works. SPOs (Student Performance Objectives) 1. Describe core characteristics of major movements in German literature 2. Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the geography, history and culture of Germany 3.

Narrating a Valley in Max Frisch's Der Mensch Erscheint Im Holozän

humanities Article Narrating a Valley in Max Frisch’s Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän: Material Agency, Rain, and the Geologic Past Kiley M. Kost Department of German and Russian, Carleton College, Northﬁeld, IL 55057, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The complex narrative composition of image and text in Max Frisch’s Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän discloses entanglements between humans and nonhuman entities that impact the narrative and that demand careful consideration. The story depicts the aging protagonist’s struggle with memory loss and his careful examination of the valley’s mountain formations in fear of a landslide. In this analysis, I show that both of these threats can be read as entangled with nonhuman agents. By focusing on the material dimension of the text, two central and related shifts occur: the background element of rain becomes foregrounded in the narrative, and the natural formations of the valley that are assumed to be static are revealed to be dynamic. These shifts lead to an interpretation of Frisch’s text focused on the impacts of rain and the temporal scale of the text’s geologic dimension. Approaching the text through the lens of material ecocriticism unveils the multiple agencies at play, decenters the human, and illustrates the embodied experience of climate change. Keywords: material ecocriticism; rain; geology; scale; Max Frisch; Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän 1. “Draußen regnet es” When Max Frisch was living in Berzona, a small village near Lake Maggiore in the Citation: Kost, Kiley M.. 2021.

Mitteilungen Für Die Presse

Read the speech online: www.bundespraesident.de Page 1 of 4 Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a video message for the digital ceremony “Thinker, Poet, Democrat. Heinrich Mann on his 150th Birthday” in Berlin on 25 March 2021 Good evening from Schloss Bellevue, wherever you are tuning in from. This is not the first time that Berlin’s Academy of the Arts is hosting a ceremony in Heinrich Mann’s honour. In March 1931, invitations were issued for an event on the premises of the Prussian Academy of Arts to congratulate the newly elected Chairman of its Literature Section on his 60th birthday. The guests at the time included Ricarda Huch and Alfred Döblin, and the speakers were Max Liebermann, Adolf Grimme and Thomas Mann. They hailed the great man as a modern artist and “clandestine politician”, as a “grand écrivain” and “European moralist”. That was how the writer Heinrich Mann was feted at the time, in the Weimar Republic. What a wonderful, illustrious gathering to mark his birthday. Today, the Academy of the Arts has issued another invitation to honour Heinrich Mann, this time on his 150th birthday. The setting is, for various reasons, slightly different than it was back then, with a livestream as opposed to a gala reception, a video message as opposed to a speech, and the Federal President in attendance as opposed to the great man’s brother and Nobel Laureate. Nevertheless, I am delighted that we want to try this evening to revive the spirit of Heinrich Mann and his age. We want to take a closer look at a writer, who after his death in 1950 was co opted by the GDR for its own political ends, who was eclipsed in West Germany by his renowned younger brother, and who is not forgotten yet whose works are seldom read today.
Moses Und Aron and Viennese Jewish Modernism

Finding Music’s Words: Moses und Aron and Viennese Jewish Modernism Maurice Cohn Candidate for Senior Honors in History, Oberlin College Thesis Advisor: Annemarie Sammartino Submitted Spring 2017 !2 Table of Contents Acknowledgments 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One 14 Chapter Two 34 Chapter Three 44 Conclusion 58 Bibliography 62 !3 Acknowledgments I have tremendous gratitude and gratefulness for all of the people who helped make this thesis a reality. There are far too many individuals for a complete list here, but I would like to mention a few. Firstly, to my advisor Ari Sammartino, who also chaired the honors seminar this year. Her intellectual guidance has been transformational for me, and I am incredibly thankful to have had her mentorship. Secondly, to the honors seminar students for 2016—2017. Their feedback and camaraderie was a wonderful counterweight to a thesis process that is often solitary. Thirdly, to Oberlin College and Conservatory. I have benefited enormously from my ability to be a double-degree student here, and am continually amazed by the support and dedication of both faculties to make this program work. And finally to my parents, Steve Cohn and Nancy Eberhardt. They were my first teachers, and remain my intellectual role models. !4 Introduction In 1946, Arnold Schoenberg composed a trio for violin, viola, and cello. Schoenberg earned his reputation as the quintessential musical modernist through complex, often gargantuan pieces with expansive and closely followed musical structures. By contrast, the musical building blocks of the trio are small and the writing is fragmented. The composer Martin Boykan wrote that the trio “is marked by interpolations, interruptions, even non-sequiturs, so that at times Schoenberg seems to be poised at the edge of incoherence.”1 Scattered throughout the piece are musical allusions to the Viennese waltz.
