  • Hotel Berlin
    HOTEL BERLIN: THE POLITICS OF COMMERCIAL HOSPITALITY IN THE GERMAN METROPOLIS, 1875–1945 by Adam Bisno A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2017 © 2017 Adam Bisno ii Dissertation Advisor: Peter Jelavich Adam Bisno Hotel Berlin: The Politics of Commercial Hospitality in the German Metropolis, 1875–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines the institution of the grand hotel in Imperial, Weimar, and Nazi Berlin. It is a German cultural and business history of the fate of classical liberalism, which in practice treated human beings as rational, self-regulating subjects. The major shareholders in the corporations that owned the grand hotels, hotel managers, and hotel experts, through their daily efforts to keep the industry afloat amid the vicissitudes of modern German history, provide a vantage point from which to see the pathways from quotidian difficulties to political decisions, shedding light on how and why a multi-generational group of German businessmen embraced and then rejected liberal politics and culture in Germany. Treating the grand hotel as an institution and a space for the cultivation of liberal practices, the dissertation contributes to the recent body of work on liberal governance in the modern city by seeing the grand hotel as a field in which a dynamic, socially and culturally heterogeneous population tried and ultimately failed to determine the powers and parameters of liberal subjectivity. In locating the points at which liberal policies became impracticable, this dissertation also enters a conversation about the timing and causes of the crisis of German democracy.

  • The Spectral Voice and 9/11
    SILENCIO: THE SPECTRAL VOICE AND 9/11 Lloyd Isaac Vayo A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Eileen C. Cherry Chandler Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Don McQuarie © 2010 Lloyd Isaac Vayo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor “Silencio: The Spectral Voice and 9/11” intervenes in predominantly visual discourses of 9/11 to assert the essential nature of sound, particularly the recorded voices of the hijackers, to narratives of the event. The dissertation traces a personal journey through a selection of objects in an effort to seek a truth of the event. This truth challenges accepted narrativity, in which the U.S. is an innocent victim and the hijackers are pure evil, with extra-accepted narrativity, where the additional import of the hijacker’s voices expand and complicate existing accounts. In the first section, a trajectory is drawn from the visual to the aural, from the whole to the fragmentary, and from the professional to the amateur. The section starts with films focused on United Airlines Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back, Flight 93, and United 93, continuing to a broader documentary about 9/11 and its context, National Geographic: Inside 9/11, and concluding with a look at two YouTube shorts portraying carjackings, “The Long Afternoon” and “Demon Ride.” Though the films and the documentary attempt to reattach the acousmatic hijacker voice to a visual referent as a means of stabilizing its meaning, that voice is not so easily fixed, and instead gains force with each iteration, exceeding the event and coming from the past to inhabit everyday scenarios like the carjackings.

In searching for an explanation of the tragic dissolution, thoughtful ob- servers looked at the political and philosophical bases of the nation's structure. They found that the controversial ques- tion of the autonomy of the states and the concept of liberty that had evolved offered a partial answer to the question. They examined the economic order and realized that be- tween a commercial-industrial section and one that was pre- dominantly agricultural there was basis for conflict. They looked into the structure of society in the two sections and concluded that there were inherent conflicts between that committed to the view that universal freedom was the proper foundation for improving the social order and the other that insisted that its half-free, half-slave society needed only to be left alone. continued to Questions of how and why the war came have baffle the minds of men in the generations since 1861.

    3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 1 of 129 INTRODUCTION After years of pondering over how awesome it would be to release a compilation of bands from all around the world, we have finally gone and done just that! We asked bands to submit a song and bio for this huge compilation and the response was fantastic. This free e-book is our way of saying thanks to the readers of Heavy Planet and a terrific way to promote some amazing bands spanning the Stoner Rock, Doom, Psychedelic and Sludge Metal genres. Many thanks goes out to all of the bands and labels for allowing us to use their music and most of all to you the readers for making Heavy Planet what it has become today. Cheers! Enjoy and Doom on! ~Reg 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 2 of 129 THE ALBUM TITLE I asked my talented group of writers to come up with a name for the compilation and a bunch of different titles were thrown around but one truly encapsulated what Heavy Planet is about. Misha suggested..."Bong Hits From the Astral Basement", we all agreed and here it is, sixty-one of the finest bands from all around the world. Following are the biographies of each band and the artist that contributed the killer artwork. 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 3 of 129 THE BANDS 1000MODS 1000mods is a psychedelic/stoner rock band from Chiliomodi, Greece. They were formed in the summer of 2006 and since then, they have played over 100 live shows, including openings for Brant Bjork, Colour Haze, Karma to Burn, My Sleeping Karma, Radio Moscow and many others.

    Guo, Jin, Wang, Qiu, Zhang, Zhu, Zhang, Wipf Supplementary Materials The supplementary file includes additional content related to the following: 1. Synthetic Experiments (Section 5.1 in main paper): We explain why the synthetic data loosely align with Definition 1, describe the network architectures of the CycleBase and CycleCVAE models, and include additional generation results. 2. WebNLG Experiments (Section 5.2 in main paper): We describe the experimental setup for WebNLG, including the task description, cycle-consistency model design, and all baseline and implementation details. We also include an ablation study varying dim[z]. 3. T5 Extension (Section 5.3 in main paper): We provide details of the CycleCVAE+T5 extension and include additional generated samples showing textual diversity. 4. Proof of Proposition 2. 5. Proof of Corollary 3. 7 Synthetic Dataset Experimental Details and Additional Results 7.1 Dataset Description and Relation to Definition 1 To motivate how the synthetic data used in Section 5.1 from the main paper at least partially align with Definition 1, we let c and e be zero vectors and A 2 Rd×10 be a d × 10 transformation matrix from images to digits, where d is the total number of pixels in each image x. In other words, each column i 2 f0; 1;:::; 9g of A is a linearized pixel sequence of the 2D image of digit i from top left to bottom right. Based on A, we construct an example inverse matrix D so that DA = I. Specifically, D can be a 10 × d matrix where each row i 2 f0; 1;:::; 9g is a linearized pixel sequence of a masked version of the image of the digit i, and this image can have, for example, only one non-zero pixel that is sufficient to distinguish the digit i from all other nine possibilities.
