Overview: Untersucht den Zusammenhang von Fortbewegung und Wissensvermittlung in literarischen Reisetexten der Frühen NeuzeitLeserschaft und Kritik der Frühen Neuzeit betrachteten das Reiseschrifttum als zentrale Möglichkeit, den eigenen, begrenzten Lebensraum zu erweitern. Literarische Texte hingegen wurden aufgrund ihrer erfundenen Inhalte kaum als adäquates Bildungsmittel betrachtet. Am Beispiel von Martin Opitz‘ ‚Schäfferey von der Nimfen Hercinie‘ (1630) und Johann Timotheus Hermes‘ ‚Sophiens Reise von Memel nach Sachsen‘ (1778) zeigt die Arbeit, inwiefern sich Autoren bewusst Strategien

Overview: Eine Wachstumstheorie der Demokratie - Volksinitiativen in KalifornienWie demokratisch ist direkte Demokratie?

Overview: Nonlinearity is a fascinating element of nature whose importance has been appreciated for many years when considering large-amplitude wave motions observed in various fields ranging from fluids and plasmas to solid-state, chemical, biological, and geological systems. Localized large-amplitude waves called solitons, which propagate without spreading and have particle-like properties, represent one of the most striking aspects of nonlinear phenomena. Although a wealth of literature on the subject, including theoretical and numerical studies, is available in good recent books and resear
