This approach is quite simple to implement into existing explicit finite element programs. The shape functions associated with discontinuous elements are similar to those of the standard finite elements, which leads to certain simplification with implementing in the existing codes. The phantom-node method allows modeling discontinuities at an arbitrary location in the mesh. The ES-FEM model owns a close-to-exact stiffness that is much softer than lower-order finite element methods (FEM). Taking advantage of both the ES-FEM and the phantom-node method, we introduce an edge-based strain smoothing technique for the phantom-node method.

Currently, the visual quality of virtual invironments resembles reality, but interaction within these environments is usually far from what is known in everyday life. Several realistic research approaches exist, however they are still not all-encompassing enough to be usable in industrial processes. This thesis realizes lifelike direct multi-hand and multi-finger interaction with arbitrary objects, and proposes algorithmic and technical improvements that also approach lifelike usability. In addition, the thesis proposes methods to measure the effectiveness and usability of such interaction techniques as well as discusses different types of grasping feedback that support the user during interaction. Realistic and reliable interaction is reached through the combination of robust grasping heuristics and plausible pseudophysical object reactions. The easy-to-compute grasping rules use the objects' surface normals, and mimic human grasping behavior. The novel concept of Normal Proxies increases grasping stability and diminishes challenges induced by adverse normals. The intricate act of picking-up thin and tiny objects remains challenging for some users. These cases are further supported by the consideration of finger pinches, which are measured with a specialized finger tracking device. With regard to typical object constraints, realistic object motion is geometrically calculated as a plausible reaction on user input. The resulting direct finger-based interaction technique enables realistic and intuitive manipulation of arbitrary objects. The thesis proposes two methods that prove and compare effectiveness and usability. An expert review indicates that experienced users quickly familiarize themselves with the technique. A quantitative and qualitative user study shows that direct finger-based interaction is preferred over indirect interaction in the context of functional car assessments. While controller-based interaction is more robust, the direct finger-based interaction provides greater realism, and becomes nearly as reliable when the pinch-sensitive mechanism is used. At present, the haptic channel is not used in industrial virtual reality applications. That is why it can be used for grasping feedback which improves the users' understanding of the grasping situation. This thesis realizes a novel pressure-based tactile feedback at the fingertips. As an alternative, vibro-tactile feedback at the same location is realized as well as visual feedback by the coloring of grasp-involved finger segments. The feedback approaches are also compared within the user study, which reveals that grasping feedback is a requirement to judge grasp status and that tactile feedback improves interaction independent of the used display system. The considerably stronger vibrational tactile feedback can quickly become annoying during interaction. The interaction improvements and hardware enhancements make it possible to interact with virtual objects in a realistic and reliable manner. By addressing realism and reliability, this thesis paves the way for the virtual evaluation of human-object interaction, which is necessary for a broader application of virtual environments in the automotive industry and other domains.}, subject = {Virtuelle Realit{\"a}t}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Lux, author = {Lux, Christopher}, title = {A Data-Virtualization System for Large Model Visualization}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1985}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20130725-19855}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {211}, abstract = {Interactive scientific visualizations are widely used for the visual exploration and examination of physical data resulting from measurements or simulations. Driven by technical advancements of data acquisition and simulation technologies, especially in the geo-scientific domain, large amounts of highly detailed subsurface data are generated. The oil and gas industry is particularly pushing such developments as hydrocarbon reservoirs are increasingly difficult to discover and exploit. Suitable visualization techniques are vital for the discovery of the reservoirs as well as their development and production. However, the ever-growing scale and complexity of geo-scientific data sets result in an expanding disparity between the size of the data and the capabilities of current computer systems with regard to limited memory and computing resources. In this thesis we present a unified out-of-core data-virtualization system supporting geo-scientific data sets consisting of multiple large seismic volumes and height-field surfaces, wherein each data set may exceed the size of the graphics memory or possibly even the main memory. Current data sets fall within the range of hundreds of gigabytes up to terabytes in size. Through the mutual utilization of memory and bandwidth resources by multiple data sets, our data-management system is able to share and balance limited system resources among different data sets. We employ multi-resolution methods based on hierarchical octree and quadtree data structures to generate level-of-detail working sets of the data stored in main memory and graphics memory for rendering. The working set generation in our system is based on a common feedback mechanism with inherent support for translucent geometric and volumetric data sets. This feedback mechanism collects information about required levels of detail during the rendering process and is capable of directly resolving data visibility without the application of any costly occlusion culling approaches. A central goal of the proposed out-of-core data management system is an effective virtualization of large data sets. Through an abstraction of the level-of-detail working sets, our system allows developers to work with extremely large data sets independent of their complex internal data representations and physical memory layouts. Based on this out-of-core data virtualization infrastructure, we present distinct rendering approaches for specific visualization problems of large geo-scientific data sets. We demonstrate the application of our data virtualization system and show how multi-resolution data can be treated exactly the same way as regular data sets during the rendering process. An efficient volume ray casting system is presented for the rendering of multiple arbitrarily overlapping multi-resolution volume data sets. Binary space-partitioning volume decomposition of the bounding boxes of the cube-shaped volumes is used to identify the overlapping and non-overlapping volume regions in order to optimize the rendering process. We further propose a ray casting-based rendering system for the visualization of geological subsurface models consisting of multiple very detailed height fields. The rendering of an entire stack of height-field surfaces is accomplished in a single rendering pass using a two-level acceleration structure, which combines a minimum-maximum quadtree for empty-space skipping and sorted lists of depth intervals to restrict ray intersection searches to relevant height fields and depth ranges. Ultimately, we present a unified rendering system for the visualization of entire geological models consisting of highly detailed stacked horizon surfaces and massive volume data. We demonstrate a single-pass ray casting approach facilitating correct visual interaction between distinct translucent model components, while increasing the rendering efficiency by reducing processing overhead of potentially invisible parts of the model. The combination of image-order rendering approaches and the level-of-detail feedback mechanism used by our out-of-core data-management system inherently accounts for occlusions of different data types without the application of costly culling techniques. The unified out-of-core data-management and virtualization infrastructure considerably facilitates the implementation of complex visualization systems. We demonstrate its applicability for the visualization of large geo-scientific data sets using output-sensitive rendering techniques. As a result, the magnitude and multitude of data sets that can be interactively visualized is significantly increased compared to existing approaches.}, subject = {Computer Graphics}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Fleischmann, author = {Fleischmann, Ewan}, title = {Analysis and Design of Blockcipher Based Cryptographic Algorithms}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1983}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20130722-19835}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {272}, abstract = {This thesis focuses on the analysis and design of hash functions and authenticated encryption schemes that are blockcipher based. We give an introduction into these fields of research - taking in a blockcipher based point of view - with special emphasis on the topics of double length, double call blockcipher based compression functions. The first main topic (thesis parts I - III) is on analysis and design of hash functions. We start with a collision security analysis of some well known double length blockcipher based compression functions and hash functions: Abreast-DM, Tandem-DM and MDC-4. We also propose new double length compression functions that have elevated collision security guarantees. We complement the collision analysis with a preimage analysis by stating (near) optimal security results for Abreast-DM, Tandem-DM, and Hirose-DM. Also, some generalizations are discussed. These are the first preimage security results for blockcipher based double length hash functions that go beyond the birthday barrier. We then raise the abstraction level and analyze the notion of 'hash function indifferentiability from a random oracle'. So we not anymore focus on how to obtain a good compression function but, instead, on how to obtain a good hash function using (other) cryptographic primitives. In particular we give some examples when this strong notion of hash function security might give questionable advice for building a practical hash function. In the second main topic (thesis part IV), which is on authenticated encryption schemes, we present an on-line authenticated encryption scheme, McOEx, that simultaneously achieves privacy and confidentiality and is secure against nonce-misuse. It is the first dedicated scheme that achieves high standards of security and - at the same time - is on-line computable.}, subject = {Kryptologie}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Anderka, author = {Anderka, Maik}, title = {Analyzing and Predicting Quality Flaws in User-generated Content: The Case of Wikipedia}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1977}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20130709-19778}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {Web applications that are based on user-generated content are often criticized for containing low-quality information; a popular example is the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The major points of criticism pertain to the accuracy, neutrality, and reliability of information. The identification of low-quality information is an important task since for a huge number of people around the world it has become a habit to first visit Wikipedia in case of an information need. Existing research on quality assessment in Wikipedia either investigates only small samples of articles, or else deals with the classification of content into high-quality or low-quality. This thesis goes further, it targets the investigation of quality flaws, thus providing specific indications of the respects in which low-quality content needs improvement. The original contributions of this thesis, which relate to the fields of user-generated content analysis, data mining, and machine learning, can be summarized as follows: (1) We propose the investigation of quality flaws in Wikipedia based on user-defined cleanup tags. Cleanup tags are commonly used in the Wikipedia community to tag content that has some shortcomings. Our approach is based on the hypothesis that each cleanup tag defines a particular quality flaw. (2) We provide the first comprehensive breakdown of Wikipedia's quality flaw structure. We present a flaw organization schema, and we conduct an extensive exploratory data analysis which reveals (a) the flaws that actually exist, (b) the distribution of flaws in Wikipedia, and, (c) the extent of flawed content. (3) We present the first breakdown of Wikipedia's quality flaw evolution. We consider the entire history of the English Wikipedia from 2001 to 2012, which comprises more than 508 million page revisions, summing up to 7.9 TB. Our analysis reveals (a) how the incidence and the extent of flaws have evolved, and, (b) how the handling and the perception of flaws have changed over time. (4) We are the first who operationalize an algorithmic prediction of quality flaws in Wikipedia.

Um den h{\"o}chsten Grad an Objektivit{\"a}t in der Realit{\"a}tsdarstellung zu erreichen, hat dieser Film einerseits treu alle theoretischen und {\"a}sthetischen Gedanken der neusachlichen Kunst zum ersten Mal filmisch in einem DOKUMENTARFILM dargestellt. Noch dazu dr{\"u}ckt der Berlin-Film seinen kulturellen Beitrag mit ausschliesslich filmischen Mitteln aus, also mit rein visuellen Mitteln, oder anders gesagt mit FILMSPRACHE. Im Gegensatz zur ersten Ank{\"u}ndigung des Films und der Filmliteratur, die den Film als Dokumentarfilm ansehen, ist er in Wirklichkeit einer der ersten innovativen Musikfilme in seinem historischen Kontext, welcher mit der Montage von Wirklichkeitsabbilden autonome Musik zu interpretieren versucht. Seine sachlichen, dokumentarischen Reportage-Bilder ordnen sich der abstrakten Struktur und dem Taktmaß der Musik unter. Als Folge entsteht laut Ruttmann eine VISUELLE SINFONIE, die eigentlich vielmehr eine Vision von Berlin darstellte, als zuk{\"u}nftige industrielle Musterstadt. Mit anderen Worten ist Berlin in diesem Film eine realistische Illusion, aber keineswegs ein reales Bild. Er bildet ein neues Filmgenre, den KUNSTDOKUMENTARFILM, das den Grundprinzipien des Dokumentarfilms nicht folgt.

In order to do so an attempt to define the currently still vague notion of "shrinking city" was made. The urban development of Eastern Germany was thoroughly examined both in a short term perspective and in a wide historical as well as international context, with the Polish urban development used as reference. 25 cities (kreisfreie St{\"a}dte) in Eastern Germany and depopulating Polish cities: Ł{\´o}d{\'{z}} and the Metropolis Silesia were chosen as case studies. On the basis of the gathered information a "shrinking city" in Eastern Germany was defined as a city with a long-lasting population decrease coupled with over-dimensioned, growth-oriented development policies carried out for decades. Such a development path is triggering negative consequences in the spatial, economic and also demographic dimension, which tend to intensify each other. The thesis postulates that the definition of the "shrinking city in Eastern Germany" is not appropriate to depopulating cities in Poland. Polish cities are characterized by a short-lasting population decrease and this trend is not triggering negative spatial and economic consequences. Oversized growth development policies were never present in the cities and they still suffer from great deficiencies in housing and other basic infrastructure, which derive from the socialist period. Furthermore, radical de-economization, known from Eastern German cities, did not occur in the Polish cities. Both Ł{\´o}d{\'{z}} and the Metropolis Silesia remain main production centers of the country. This doctoral thesis presents a contradictory view to contemporary publications on "shrinking cities", in which this phenomenon is regarded as having occurred suddenly after the collapse of the socialism. It proved that "shrinking cities" in Eastern Germany are not the outcome of short-lasting processes, but are deeply rooted in the past. Moreover, they represent a very distinct development pattern that highly differentiates from the one found in Central Eastern Europe and the one in Western Europe. In this way the doctoral thesis provided a new, critical approach to the discourse on "shrinking cities" in Germany. It also draws attention to the importance of the historical analysis in cities' development research, particularly in cross border studies. In time of European integration peculiarities resulting from centuries of different spatial, economic and social development paths should not be underestimated.}, subject = {Stadtplanung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Jakupi, author = {Jakupi, Arta}, title = {The Effect of the International Community Presence in the Urban Development of Post Conflict City Case Study: Kosova}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1831}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20130130-18314}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {213}, abstract = {Post Conflict Reconstruction is a very complex topic, whether it is to be undertaken by the Local or the International Community. The process of the Post Conflict Development is to be very hard to investigate, primarily for the combination of socio-cultural phenomena, war and political instability; having difficulties of conducting solid empirical analysis (obtaining reliable data) and dealing with war-torn communities. The multifaceted process of the reconstruction is ought to touch a lot of countries vital segments, whereas each of them requires different approach; coordination with one another; and unification in their common aim. The emergency of the assistance programs are not equal, same as with the priority and weight when compared with each other, therefore occasionally there are programs for the success of which the other less important actions are violated or neglected. The case is with the International Community presence ( the set up), which aside from their mission and projects, it is considered to play a very important role on the urban development of a post conflict city; the setting was never planned or considered in a holistic manner, therefore IC establishment was done ad hoc and it was guided by issues which did not help at its greatest to the urban development of the city and more over to the citizens who were most in need. The study is about the Urban Development, due to the fact that the biggest concentration of the International Community is likely to be in the urban centers, and the experienced changes are of a much considerable magnitude. The reconstruction phase is likely to be lasting at about 10 years and more , consequently the International Community for that time being tends to be recognized as temporary citizens of the city, and it is inevitably that they will be having an impact on the urban development of the city; in that basis it is considered to be significant that the International Community Establishment/Set Up be included into the International Organizations mission and assist in the overall mission of the reconstruction.}, subject = {Stadtplanung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Ahmad, author = {Ahmad, Sofyan}, title = {Reference Surface-Based System Identification}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2113}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20140205-21132}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {153}, abstract = {Environmental and operational variables and their impact on structural responses have been acknowledged as one of the most important challenges for the application of the ambient vibration-based damage identification in structures. The damage detection procedures may yield poor results, if the impacts of loading and environmental conditions of the structures are not considered. The reference-surface-based method, which is proposed in this thesis, is addressed to overcome this problem. In the proposed method, meta-models are used to take into account significant effects of the environmental and operational variables. The usage of the approximation models, allows the proposed method to simply handle multiple non-damaged variable effects simultaneously, which for other methods seems to be very complex. The input of the meta-model are the multiple non-damaged variables while the output is a damage indicator. The reference-surface-based method diminishes the effect of the non-damaged variables to the vibration based damage detection results. Hence, the structure condition that is assessed by using ambient vibration data at any time would be more reliable. Immediate reliable information regarding the structure condition is required to quickly respond to the event, by means to take necessary actions concerning the future use or further investigation of the structures, for instance shortly after extreme events such as earthquakes. The critical part of the proposed damage detection method is the learning phase, where the meta-models are trained by using input-output relation of observation data. Significant problems that may encounter during the learning phase are outlined and some remedies to overcome the problems are suggested. The proposed damage identification method is applied to numerical and experimental models. In addition to the natural frequencies, wavelet energy and stochastic subspace damage indicators are used.}, subject = {System Identification}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Nasser, author = {Nasser, Mourad}, title = {Quality Assessment of Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction Models Using Energy Measures}, publisher = {Verlag der Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t}, address = {Weimar}, isbn = {978-3-86068-494-8}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1854}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20130220-18542}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {132}, abstract = {In this research work, an energy approach is employed for assessing quality in dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) models, and energy measures are introduced and investigated as general indicators of structural response. Dynamic SSI models with various abstraction levels are then investigated according to different coupling scenarios for soil and structure models. The hypothesis of increasing model uncertainty with decreasing complexity is investigated and a mathematical framework is provided for the treatment of model uncertainty. This framework is applied to a case study involving alternative models for incorporating dynamic SSI effects. In the evaluation process, energy measures are used within the framework of the \textit{adjustment factor} approach in order to quantitatively assess the uncertainty associated with SSI models. Two primary types of uncertainty are considered, namely the uncertainty in the model framework and the uncertainty in the model input parameters. Investigations on model framework uncertainty show that the more complex three-dimensional FE model has the best quality of the models investigated, whereas the Wolf SSI model produces the lowest model uncertainty of the simpler models. The fixed-base model produces the highest estimated uncertainty and accordingly the worst quality of all models investigated. These results confirm the hypothesis of increasing model uncertainty with decreasing complexity only when the assessment is based on the ratio of structural hysteretic energy to input energy as a response indicator.}, subject = {Boden-Bauwerk-Wechselwirkung}, language = {en} } @book{SchneiderDonathHoelscher, author = {Schneider, Sven and Donath, Dirk and H{\"o}lscher, Christoph}, title = {Design by Research - Dokumentation eines studentischen Entwurfsprojektes}, editor = {Schneider, Sven and Donath, Dirk and H{\"o}lscher, Christoph}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2094}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20131220-20940}, pages = {170}, abstract = {Im vorliegenden Buch sind die Ergebnisse eines studentischen Entwurfsprojektes dokumentiert, welches im Wintersemester 2012/13 an der Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t in Weimar am Lehrstuhl Informatik in der Architektur (InfAR) stattgefunden hat.

High-frequency electromagnetic (HF-EM) measurement techniques, i.e., time or frequency domain reflectometry, offer useful tools for quantitative estimation of water content in porous media. However, despite the efficiency of HF-EM methods, the relationship between water content and dielectric material properties needs to be characterized. Moreover, the high amount of swelling clay in the COx clay leads to dielectric relaxation effects which induce strong dispersion coupled with high absorption of EM waves. Against this background, the dielectric relaxation behavior of the clay rock was studied at frequencies from 1 MHz to 10 GHz with network analyzer technique in combination with coaxial transmission line cells. For this purpose, undisturbed and disturbed clay rock samples were conditioned to achieve a water saturation range from 0.16 to nearly saturation. The relaxation behavior was quantified based on a generalized fractional relaxation model under consideration of an apparent direct current conductivity assuming three relaxation processes: a high-frequency water process and two interface processes which are related to interactions between the aqueous pore solution and mineral particles (adsorbed/hydrated water relaxation, counter ion relaxation and Maxwell-Wagner effects). The frequency-dependent HF-EM properties were further modeled based on a novel hydraulic-mechanical-electromagnetic coupling approach developed for soils. The results show the potential of HF-EM techniques for quantitative monitoring of the hydraulic state in underground repositories in clay formations.}, subject = {Lehm}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Tomadoni, author = {Tomadoni, Claudia Elizabeth}, title = {DESARROLLO URBANO POSFORDISTA EN UN TERRITORIO POSSOCIALISTA : Una ciudad-regi{\´o}n en una regi{\´o}n de ciudades: Weimar}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2031}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20130904-20312}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {324}, abstract = {Abstract Die Forschungsfrage der Arbeit lautet: Wie gestaltet sich die urbane Reproduktionslogik einer mittleren Stadt im Kontext postfordistischer Territorien?

The research signals links between the organization of individuals, the built environment and food waste management through a study conducted in Mexico. It recognizes the different scales within which solid waste management operates, explores food waste production at household levels, and investigates the urban circumstances that influence its management. This is based on the idea that sustainable food waste management in cities requires a constellation of processes through which a 'people centered' approach offers added value to technical and biological facts. This distinction addresses how urban systems react to waste and what behavioral and structural factors affect current sanitary practices in Mexico. Food waste is a resource-demanding item, which makes for a considerable amount of refuse being disposed of in landfills in developing cities. The existing data shortage on waste generation at household levels debilitates implementation strategies and there is a need for more contextual knowledge associated with waste. The evidence-based study includes an explorative phase on the culture of waste management and a more in-depth examination of domestic waste composition. Mixed data collection tools including a household based survey, a food waste diary and weighing recording system were developed to enquire into the daily practices of waste disposal in households. The contrasting urban environment of Mexico City Metropolitan Area holds indistinctive boundaries between the core and the periphery, which hinder the implementation of integrated environmental plans. External determinants are different modes of urban transformation and internal determinants are building features and their consolidation processes. At the household level, less and more affluents groups responded differently to external environmental stressors. A targeted planning proposition is required for each group. Local alternative waste management is more likely to be implement in less affluent contexts. Further, more effective demand-driven service delivery implies better integration between the formal and informal sectors.

Therefore it is of particular interest to get information about the liquid-like state of water on Martian analogue soils for temperatures below 0 °C. To this end, a parallel plate capacitor has been developed to obtain isothermal dielectric spectra of fine-grained soils in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 1.1 MHz at Martian-like temperatures down to -70 °C. Two Martian analogue soils have been investigated: a Ca-bentonite (specific surface of 237 m2 g-1, up to 9.4\% w / w gravimetric water content) and JSC Mars 1, a volcanic ash (specific surface of 146 m2 g-1, up to 7.4\% w / w). Three soil-specific relaxation processes are observed in the investigated frequency-temperature range: two weak high-frequency processes (bound or hydrated water as well as ice) and a strong low-frequency process due to counter-ion relaxation and the Maxwell-Wagner effect. To characterize the dielectric relaxation behaviour, a generalized fractional dielectric relaxation model was applied assuming three active relaxation processes with relaxation time of the ith process modelled with an Eyring equation. The real part of effective complex soil permittivity at 350 kHz was used to determine ice and liquid-like water content by means of the Birchak or CRIM equation.

Da, anders als zum Beispiel in Frankreich und England, hierzulande die Geisteswissenschaften, insbesondere die Literaturwissenschaft, eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung der Medienwissenschaft gespielt haben, konnte dieser noch heute Disziplinen und Forscher voneinander trennende Dissens auch die Gestalt eines Streits um die letztbegr{\"u}ndende Instanz des Sinns oder des Nichtsinns, des Hermeneutischen oder des Nichthermeneutischen annehmen. Dabei ist die Frage, ob technische Objekte vollst{\"a}ndig sozial konstruiert sind oder das Soziale eine Fiktion ist, die von Techniken produziert wird; oder ob dieser Gegensatz selbst nur ein konstruierter ist, durchaus eine Frage, die auch die ANT im Laufe ihrer ebenfalls durch Querelen gekennzeichneten Geschichte besch{\"a}ftigt hat.

Eine solche Wendung ist daran erkennbar, dass sie von der Frage, was der Mensch sei, umstellt auf Fragen nach dem Werden und Gemachtwerden des Menschen, nach seiner Hominisierung und ihren Diskursen, ihren Verfahren, Werkzeugen und Orten in Raum und Zeit. Nicht so sehr was, sondern wo und wann, unter welchen Bedingungen und mithilfe welcher Instrumente und Operationen der Mensch sei, darum, so der Ausgangsgedanke, geht es der Medienanthropologie. Damals, in der ersten Ausgabe der ZMK, bestand die Leitidee darin, sich diesen Fragen zun{\"a}chst von der Peripherie her zu n{\"a}hern und die so verstandenen Bedingungen des Menschseins von der Gef{\"a}hrdung des Menschen, von einem exemplarischen Grenzzustand aus zu betrachten, in dem diese Bedingungen problematisch werden k{\"o}nnen, n{\"a}mlich demjenigen der Angst. Heute, und mit der vorliegenden Ausgabe, wird ein anderer, zus{\"a}tzlicher und zugleich weiter greifender Aspekt gesetzt. Denn das Feld der Medienanthropologie hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren ver- {\"a}ndert; die Debatten sind intensiviert und die Forschungen diversifiziert worden. In dieses Feld greift die ZMK nun mit einer dezidierten Position ein, die auf kontinuierliche Diskussionen und Entwicklungen innerhalb der Kulturtechnikforschung und der Medienphilosophie und auch zwischen ihnen aufbauen kann.}, subject = {Medienwissenschaft}, language = {de} }
