  • A Student's Guide to the Tennessee
    The MembersA of theStudent’s Senate Guide to the Tennessee Senate 2013 Edition Welcome to the Tennessee Senate. Thank you for your interest in your government. My name is Ron Ramsey. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. I have this job because a majority of my fellow senators voted for me to be their leader, or “Speaker.” Unlike many other states, Tennessee’s Lieutenant Governor is also head of its Senate. My duties as both Speaker of the Senate and Lieutenant Governor keep me very busy. However, because I am a state Senator, my job is officially part-time. Having a part-time legislature is good because it allows elected officials to spend time living and working under the laws they make and with the people they represent. When the legislature is not in session I run a real estate and auction business with my wife, Sindy, in my hometown of Blountville, which is right on the border between Virginia and Tennessee. It is a wonderful town and I am glad to be able to spend time there when the legislature is not in session. If you visit the Capitol on a day when the legislature is in session, you will see me presiding over the Senate. I have a gavel, and I do my best to keep Senate sessions moving along quickly and efficiently so my members can get back home to their families and businesses. I also make all of the Senate’s committee assignments. Much of the Senate’s work goes on in committees so it is important to have the right people working on the right issues.

  • Mit Homer in Die Wüste – Die Rezeption Der Odyssee in „American Odyssey” Und „Prison Break, Season 5” Und Die Möglic
    Pegasus-Onlinezeitschrift XIX (2019/2020) Seite 1 Seiten 1 bis 37 Benedikt Simons Mit Homer in die Wüste – Die Rezeption der Odyssee in „American Odyssey” und „Prison Break, Season 5” und die Möglichkeiten für den altsprachlichen Unterricht Die breite und tiefe Rezeption der homerischen Epen gerade auch in den modernen Medien steht angesichts solcher Blockbuster wie Wolf- gang Petersens „Troia” (2004) oder der Netflixserie, „Troia – Untergang einer Stadt” (2018), aber auch des durchaus interessanten1 Versuchs „Odysseus” (2013) wie schon früherer Verfilmungen außer Frage.2 Ist die Rezeption des epischen Stoffes bei diesen Verfilmungen offensicht- lich, liegt sie bei zwei anderen amerikanischen TV–Serien aus jüngster Zeit nicht auf der Hand, da sie in den Rahmen der Auseinandersetzung mit dem islamistischen Terror und den Krisenherden des Nahen Ostens eingebettet sind und auch zum Genre der „Actionserien” gezählt wer- den können. Das Überraschungsmoment, auch innerhalb eines solchen Genres die Wirkung des homerischen Epos als Subtext nachzeichnen zu können, bietet daher nicht nur ein motivierendes Potenzial für den altsprachlichen Unterricht, sondern gerade die Möglichkeit, durch den Vergleich mit ihrer Rezeption in dem modernen Medium den Zügen der homerischen Charaktere eine profiliertere Tiefe abzugewinnen und sich mit den damals wie heute offenbar exemplarischen Verhaltensweisen und damit mit „Grundfragen der menschlichen Existenz”3 auseinander- 1 Die Serie führt die Situation auf Ithaka in der Abwesenheit des Helden, also gleich- sam
