He uses it collectively for "the young women who make sure that German literature is again a subject of discussion this spring." Hage as- serts that they seem less concerned with "the German question," the consequences of two German dictatorships, and prefer in- stead to thematize "eroticism and love" in their texts.

She began to write as a child, and at the age of twelve, she even bound her texts together in the form of a first book. She learnt German and English at secondary school, and subsequently studied Russian literature at Waseda University in 1982. After this, she intended to go to Russia or Poland to study, since she was interested in European literature, especially Russian literature. However, her university grant to study in Poland was withdrawn in 1980 because of political unrest, and instead, she had the opportunity to work in Hamburg at a book trade company. She came to Europe by ship, then by trans-Siberian rail through the Soviet Union, Poland and the DDR, arriving in Berlin. In 1982, she studied German literature at Hamburg University, and thereafter completed her doctoral work on literature at Zurich University. Among various authors, she studied the poetry of Paul Celan, which she had already read in Japanese. Indeed, she comments on his poetry in an essay entitled ‘Paul Celan liest Japanisch’ in her collection of essays named Talisman and also in her essay entitled ‘Die Niemandsrose’ in the collection Sprachpolizei und Spielpolyglotte.

  • Temporality, Subjectivity and Postcommunism in Contemporary German Literature by Herta Müller, Zsuzsa Bánk and Terézia Mora
    PASTS WITH FUTURES: TEMPORALITY, SUBJECTIVITY AND POSTCOMMUNISM IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE BY HERTA MÜLLER, ZSUZSA BÁNK AND TERÉZIA MORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katrina Louise Nousek May 2015 © 2015 Katrina Louise Nousek PASTS WITH FUTURES: TEMPORALITY, SUBJECTIVITY AND POSTCOMMUNISM IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE BY HERTA MÜLLER, ZSUZSA BÁNK AND TERÉZIA MORA Katrina Louise Nousek, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 This dissertation analyzes future-oriented narrative features distinguishing German literature about European communism and its legacies. Set against landscapes marked by Soviet occupation and Ceauşescu’s communist dictatorship in Romania (Müller) and against the 1956 Hungarian revolution, eastern European border openings, and post-Wende Berlin (Mora, Bánk), works by these transnational authors engage social legacies that other discourses relegate to an inert past after the historic rupture of 1989. Dominant scholarship reads this literature either through trauma theory or according to autobiography, privileging national histories and static cultural identities determined by the past. Shifting attention to complex temporal structures used to narrate literary subjectivities, I show how these works construct European futures that are neither subsumed into a homogeneous present, nor trapped in traumatic repetition, nostalgic longing, or psychic disavowal. My analysis extends and contributes to debates in politics and the arts about the status of utopia after communism and the role of society in political entities no longer divided in Cold War terms of East/West, three worlds, or discrete national cultures. By focusing on Müller, Mora and Bánk, I widen the purview of FRG-GDR discussions about communism to include transnational, temporal and narrative perspectives that scholarship on these authors often overlooks.

  • Case Studies of Transitional Korean Adolescents' Literacy Practices
    Different Literacies in Different Contexts of Use: Case Studies of Transitional Korean Adolescents’ Literacy Practices DISSERTATION Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University Jeongsoo Pyo, MA TESL Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Alan Hirvela, advisor Professor Youngjoo Yi Professor Francis Troyan ii Copyright by Jeongsoo Pyo 2015 iii Abstract As new technology has changed adolescents’ literate life pathways outside school in remarkable ways, new uses of terminology, such as “mutiliteracies” (The New London Group, 1996), are necessary to capture the multi-dimensional nature of current encounters with what was long called “literacy,” a term that reflects a more limited presence in a print- mediated environment. However, there has been relatively little interest in the multliteracies experiences of Korean adolescents in the U.S., especially I the framing of them as transitional youth. This study asserts that the term “transitional youth” best captures the nature of their movement from the native language and culture they are moving from to a very new language and culture. This study examined the literacy practices of transitional Korean adolescents across three contexts—school, home, and community— from a sociocultural perspective. I conducted multiple case studies of three transitional Korean adolescents in a Midwestern city in the U.S. Over a six month period, I used multiple approaches

Today, project communication is based on tools like e-mail, shared document folders or project management software. Thereby the internet is a crucial source for information gathering as well as for information exchange. Web 2.0 marks a new internet generation where applications are easy to use, accessible for anybody and covering nearly every information area. Its technologies and services influence and change private and business communication. The paper analyses impacts on and opportunities for the special area of project communication. Web 2.0 Paradigm Shift Web 2.0 is used for a new paradigm of web applications. Whereas Web 1.0 focused on information distribution mainly driven by universities, research institutes, and more or less large companies, Web 2.0 improved accessibility and easiness of use so that communication and collaboration are core value. O’Reilly who designed the phrase in 2004 lists design patterns which explain the paradigm change (O’Reilly, 2005). An example can be shown in the field of e-commerce. A classical web shop is driven by a central seller; and he lists his products with prices. Added Web 2.0 functionality is well-known from E-Bay.com or Amazon.com.
