Im Anhang befindet sich eine Anthologie von 100 Gedichten aus 1633 bis 2016, die ein erdwissenschaftliches Thema behandeln. Hieraus werden Beispiele herangezogen und teils analysiert; Schnittstellen zwischen der Natur- und der Geisteswissenschaft werden in diesem Zusammenhang aufgezeigt. Außerdem wird eine fächerübergreifende Unterrichtseinheit dargestellt. Die Untersuchung der Gedichte zeigt, dass vor allem die Themen Vulkanismus, Erdbeben, Gesteine, Berge und Bergbau, Evolution sowie die Entwicklung der Erde und die Urzeit aus der Geologie in die Lyrik übernommen wurden. Auch die Geologie selbst als Wissenschaft wurde lyrisch thematisiert. Es handelt sich um eine spezielle Form der Wissensvermittlung, eine künstlerische Darstellung von naturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und/oder um die lyrische Beschreibung von Fortschritten in der Geologie. Nicht zuletzt stellt die poetische Formulierung des erdwissenschaftlichen Forschungsstands oftmals die allgemeine Stimmungslage zu brisanten aktuellen Themen dar. Das besondere Verhältnis zur Geologie, welches beispielsweise bei den Dichtern GOETHE (1749-1832), CELAN (1920-1970) oder BRUNNER (geb. 1967) vorhanden ist, wird dabei genauso beleuchtet, wie das lyrische Schaffen von Geologen und Paläontologen. Zur Umsetzung einer fächerübergreifenden Lehreinheit wird der Sammlung ein Gedicht entnommen, das Schüler/innen einen besonderen Zugang zu dem behandelten erdgeschichtlichen Thema bietet. Diese Unterrichtseinheit basiert auf verschiedenen pädagogischen Überlegungen, die in der Diplomarbeit dargelegt werden. 100000114587 6 Abstract This thesis is dealing with the relation of geology and German poetry. In the attachment is an anthology of 100 poems from 1633 to 2016, that give attention to a geological topic. Out of this collection examples are described and/or analysed, the cut surfaces between science and arts are shown. Also, an interdisciplinary teaching unit is constituted. The analysis of the poems shows, that the topics volcanism, earth quake, rocks, mountains and mining, evolution of life and earth as well as primeval times are preferentially transferred from geology to lyrics. Also, geology itself, as science, was verbalized in a lyrical way. It`s a special form of knowledge transfer, an artwork of scientific findings and/or a lyrical description of the geological advances. Not least the poetic formulation of the current state of geology often constitutes the common disposition to actual controversial topics. In this context the special relation of poets like GOETHE (1749-1832), CELAN (1920-1970) or BRUNNER (*1967) is emblazed, just like the lyrical producing of geologists and palaeontologists is reviewed in this thesis. For the accomplishment of an interdisciplinary teaching unit a poem is taken out of the anthology and shows the students a special way to learn a geological topic. The arrangement of this lesson bases on various pedagogic considerations, that are explained in this thesis too. 7 1. Einführung Als ich vor sechs Jahren begann, Biologie und Deutsch für das Lehramt zu studieren, wusste ich schon lange, dass ich Lehrerin werden wollte. In meinem Berufswunsch wurde ich bis zum Schluss bestätigt: Das Unterrichten als Aufgabe gefiel mir zunehmend. Auch die Wahl der Fächer, die ich aufgrund meiner Liebe zur Sprache und zur Natur getroffen hatte, sollte ich nicht bereuen. Allerdings hatte ich sie immer separat gesehen; die Biologie und die Germanistik mental sogar weiter aufgefächert: Da gab es die Geisteswissenschaft mit der Linguistik, der Literaturwissenschaft und der Geschichte auf der einen Seite, und die Naturwissenschaft mit der Botanik, der Zoologie und der Geologie auf der anderen. Erst im Zuge der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es mir gelungen, für mich persönlich eine Synthese dieser Gegenstände herzustellen. Dafür habe ich meinem Diplomarbeitsbetreuer, Herrn Prof. Dr. Bernhard HUBMANN, zu danken, der mir seine Sammlung deutschsprachiger Gedichte mit geologischem Inhalt gezeigt hat. Im Rahmen meiner Diplomarbeit durfte ich sie fortführen und untersuchen. Bald stellte sich heraus, dass die Zahl solcher lyrischeren Werke beachtlich ist. Außerdem zeigte sich, bei welchen deutschsprachigen Dichter/innen eine besondere naturwissenschaftliche Neugier und ein spezielles Verhältnis zur Geologie feststellbar ist. Die gefundenen Gedichte sind darüber hinaus zum Teil derart opportun und/oder witzig, lehrreich und/oder beeindruckend, dass man sie als Lehrperson auch Schüler/innen nicht vorenthalten möchte. Dadurch ergab sich der fachdidaktische Teil meiner Diplomarbeit. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich also mit geologischen Inhalten in der deutschsprachigen Poesie. Dazu werden die folgenden Fragestellungen behandelt: • Gibt es eine nennenswerte Rezeption erdwissenschaftlicher Inhalte in der deutschsprachigen Lyrik? • In welcher Weise setzen sich Dichter/innen in ihrer Lyrik mit geologischen Inhalten auseinander? • Welche erdwissenschaftlichen Phänomene und Aspekte werden in den lyrischen Werken aufgegriffen? • Kann den Gedichten mit geologischem Inhalt ein naturwissenschaftlicher Mehrwert entnommen werden und wenn ja, welcher im Konkreten? • Wie kann das behandelte Thema in der Schule umgesetzt werden? 8 Die Untersuchung dieser Fragen findet auf Basis verschiedener Quellen statt. Hier bilden die lyrischen Texte selbst natürlich die Primärquelle. Es handelt sich um 100 Gedichte deutschsprachiger Schriftsteller/innen, die im Anhang aufgelistet und nachzulesen sind. Sie stammen aus fünf Jahrhunderten der Literaturgeschichte und aus der Feder von 71 verschiedenen Autor/innen. Gefunden wurden sie von Herrn Prof. Dr. Bernhard HUBMANN oder von mir in verschiedenen Gedichtbänden und im Internet oder in Zeitschriften. Als Quellen für die theoretischen Ausführungen werden Sekundärliteratur, Autorenbiografien, Fachliteratur

  • It Has Often Been Said That Studying the Depths of the Sea Is Like Hovering In
    It has often been said that studying the depths of the sea is like hovering in a balloon high above an unknown land which is hidden by clouds, for it is a peculiarity of oceanic research that direct observations of the abyss are impracticable. Instead of the complete picture which vision gives, we have to rely upon a patiently put together mosaic representation of the discoveries made from time to time by sinking instruments and appliances into the deep. (Murray & Hjort, 1912: 22) Figure 1: Portrait of the H.M.S. Challenger. Prologue: Simple Beginnings In 1872, the H.M.S Challenger began its five- year journey that would stretch across every ocean on the planet but the Arctic. Challenger was funded for a single reason; to examine the mysterious workings of the ocean below its surface, previously unexplored. Under steam power, it travelled over 100,000 km and compiled 50 volumes of data and observations on water depth, temperature and conditions, as well as collecting samples of the seafloor, water, and organisms. The devices used to collect this data, while primitive by today’s standards and somewhat imprecise, were effective at giving humanity its first in-depth look into the inner workings of the ocean. By lowering a measured rope attached to a 200 kg weight off the edge of the ship, scientists estimated the depth of the ocean. A single reading could take up to 80 minutes for the weight to reach bottom. Taking a depth measurement also necessitated that the Challenger stop moving, and accurate mapping required a precise knowledge of where the ship was in the world, using navigational tools such as sextants.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • James Hutton's Reputation Among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
    The Geological Society of America Memoir 216 Revising the Revisions: James Hutton’s Reputation among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries A. M. Celâl Şengör* İTÜ Avrasya Yerbilimleri Enstitüsü ve Maden Fakültesi, Jeoloji Bölümü, Ayazağa 34469 İstanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT A recent fad in the historiography of geology is to consider the Scottish polymath James Hutton’s Theory of the Earth the last of the “theories of the earth” genre of publications that had begun developing in the seventeenth century and to regard it as something behind the times already in the late eighteenth century and which was subsequently remembered only because some later geologists, particularly Hutton’s countryman Sir Archibald Geikie, found it convenient to represent it as a precursor of the prevailing opinions of the day. By contrast, the available documentation, pub- lished and unpublished, shows that Hutton’s theory was considered as something completely new by his contemporaries, very different from anything that preceded it, whether they agreed with him or not, and that it was widely discussed both in his own country and abroad—from St. Petersburg through Europe to New York. By the end of the third decade in the nineteenth century, many very respectable geologists began seeing in him “the father of modern geology” even before Sir Archibald was born (in 1835). Before long, even popular books on geology and general encyclopedias began spreading the same conviction. A review of the geological literature of the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries shows that Hutton was not only remembered, but his ideas were in fact considered part of the current science and discussed accord- ingly.

  • Proceedings of the Fifth International Congress on the History of Oceanography
    EVOLUTION OF THE TECTOGENE CONCEPT, 1930-1965 ALlIN O. ALLWARDT SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA Prepared for the Proceedings of the Fifth International congress on the History of oceanography (SCripps Institution of OCeanography, July 7-14, 1993) EVOLUTION OF THE TECTOGENR CONCEPT, 1930-1965 ABSTRACT The tectogene, or crustal downbuckle, was proposed in the early 19305 by F. A. Vening Meinesz to explain the unexpected belts of negative gravity anomalies in island arcs. He attributed the isostatic imbalance to a deep sialic root resulting from the action of subcrustal convection currents. Vening Heinesz's model was initially corroborated experimentally by P. H. Kuenen, but additional experiments by D. T. Griggs and geological analysis by H. H. Hess in the late 19305 led to substantial revision in detail. As modified, the tectogene provided a plausible model for the evolution of island arcs into alpine mountain belts for another two decades. Additional revisions became necessary in the early 19505 to accommodate the unexpected absence of sialic crust in the Caribbean and the marginal seas of the western Pacific. By 1960 the cherished analogy between island arcs and alpine mountain belts had collapsed under the weight of the detailed field investigations by Hess and his students in the Caribbean region. Hess then incorporated a highly modified form of the tectogene into his sea-floor spreading hypothesis. Ironically, this final incarnation of the concept preserved some of the weaker aspects of the 19305 original, such as the ad hoc explanation for the regular geometry of island arcs.

  • From the First World War to the Anschluss Bruce F
    Austro-American Relations: From the First World War to the Anschluss Bruce F. Pauley NOTE: Prof. Pauley prepared this manuscript for his lecture of the same title at the Amerika Haus in Vienna on June 8, 2018. The spoken word of his remarks departed substantially from this manuscript. On the eve of the First World War, Americans were not well informed about European politics, especially outside the East Coast, and most especially regarding the Habsburg Monarchy. Merely one percent of Britons and Americans combined had visited the Monarchy in the early twentieth century, Mark Twain being a very notable exception. Both Americans and Europeans also had a poor grasp of history, especially with regard to the Balkan Peninsula on the eve of what came to be called the Great War. Those people who did have some knowledge of history thanks to their classical educations knew more about the Peloponnesian War of the fifth century BC than they did about the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. The First World War was probably the biggest catastrophe of the twentieth century because its outcome in many ways helped lead to the Second World War and the Holocaust a generation later. Its overall impact was certainly greater than the breakup of the Soviet Union, which was far narrower in scope both geographically and politically. The great tragedy is that the war was far from inevitable. War certainly seemed far less likely in June 1914 than it had during the crisis regarding Bosnia-Hercegovina in 1908. Peace movements were growing in 1914, and colonial and naval rivalries were far less acute in 1914 than they had been earlier.

  • DESTROYED RESEARCH in NAZI VIENNA the Tragic Fate of the Institute for Experimental Biology in Austria
    MONOGRAPH Mètode Science Studies Journal, 10 (2020): 139-145. University of Valencia. DOI: 10.7203/metode.10.14247 ISSN: 2174-3487. eISSN: 2174-9221. Submitted: 11/03/2019. Approved: 18/04/2019. DESTROYED RESEARCH IN NAZI VIENNA The tragic fate of the Institute for Experimental Biology in Austria KLAUS TASCHWER Relative to its size, no scientific institute was hit harder by National Socialism than Vienna’s Institute for Experimental Biology (Biologische Versuchsanstalt, BVA). Of the 33 collaborators before March 1938, 18 were expelled immediately after the Anschluss for racist reasons. Among them were two of the three founders and sponsors, zoologist Hans Przibram and botanist Leopold von Portheim. Seven members of the BVA were killed in the Holocaust, including Przibram. The building was destroyed by fire during the last days of the war. Afterwards the Institute remained forgotten and suppressed. It took more than 75 years after Austria’s annexation, before the Academy of Sciences — from 1914 to 1945 owner of the BVA — acknowledged the tragic history of the Institute. Keywords: National Socialism, history of biology, Vienna, Hans Przibram, Holocaust. Until 2015 it was only a street name in Vienna that programmatically Institute for Experimental Biology vaguely recalled the existence of a research facility (Biologische Versuchsanstalt, in short: BVA). that wrote biological history in the first decades of In subsequent years Przibram managed to the twentieth century.
