Soignés et guéris par les dieux: Actes du colloques international de Besançon, 17-18 novembre 2022
Dans la mesure où nombre d’actes de dévotion religieuse prennent pour objet la guérison ou la conservation de la santé, ce livre se focalise sur les différents rites qui, dans les mondes grec et romain antiques, établissaient le dialogue entre les hommes et les dieux. Ces derniers étaient perçus à la fois comme la source possible des maladies et des maux individuels ou collectifs, et en même temps comme les acteurs principaux de leur guérison. An…
Digital materiality
In 2017, Google's “Attention is All You Need” (Vaswani et al.) introduced the Transformer architecture, laying the groundwork for today’s large language models (LLMs) like GPT, Claude, and Llama. Transformers excel at processing sequences by leveraging self-attention, which allows for the dynamic weighting of relationships between words in a sentence. This approach revolutionized natural language processing, enabling models to understand and gene…
Kontrollverlust und unumkehrbare Tatsachen. Die deutschen Rückzüge an der Ostfront des Zweiten Weltkriegs
In diesem Beitrag werden die Rückzüge der Wehrmacht während des Deutsch-Sowjetischen Krieges untersucht. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf dem Rückzug der Heeresgruppe Mitte im Sommer 1944. Hier kulminierten zwei Entwicklungen: Erstens war es für die Rückzugskonzepte hochrangiger deutscher Offiziere wesentlich, auch in der potenziell chaotischen Situation des Rückzugs die Kontrolle zu behalten. Sowohl die Zerstörung ländlicher und städtisc…
Viral Theatres’ Pandemic Playbook - Documenting German theatre during Covid-19
This document offers an overview of the artistic research project Viral Theatres, which documents the radical changes in theatre aesthetics and infrastructure during the Covid-19 pandemic by building an online multimedia living archive that tracks these developments in interviews, video documentaries, rehearsal residencies, and case studies. Through a survey of five exemplary case studies we show how significantly the tools and practices of theat…
From Immersion to Interference: Sites of Collaboration in Playing with Virtual Realities
Scale-related governance challenges in the water–energy–food nexus: Toward a diagnostic approach
The notion of a water–energy–food (WEF) nexus was introduced to encourage a more holistic perspective on the sustainable development of natural resources. Most attention has been directed at identifying potential synergies and trade-offs among sectors that could be addressed with improved technologies and management. The governance of the WEF nexus more broadly has received comparatively little attention, and the importance of scale in space and …
Evaluating municipal landscape plans and their influence on selected aspects of landscape development – An empirical study from Germany
In this paper we examine the question of whether and how municipal landscape plans exert a positive influence on and/or correlate with selected aspects of the landscape. To this end, a representative sample of municipal landscape plans in Germany and a statistical-quantitative evaluation approach are used to uncover correlations between planning and landscape development. As a result, we can show that municipalities which draw up a landscape plan…
A relational framework for investigating nexus governance
Based on the assumption that the water, energy and food sectors are linked, the nexus concept drives research into the integration of governance systems. Nexus governance requires actors to engage across policy domains, governance levels and public, private and civic spheres. There is a need for a better understanding of how stakeholders navigate the inter-organisational networks constituting a given nexus. In this article, we present a three-dim…
Towards a relational understanding of the water-energy-food nexus: An analysis of embeddedness and governance in the Upper Blue Nile region of Ethiopia
Un dieu peut-il mourir ? Enquête sur la fin des cultes dans l'Antiquité gréco-romaine: Avant-propos
Pour introduire le dossier thématique qui va suivre, on se proposera de mobiliser un tandem conceptuel souvent très opératoire dès qu’il est question de phénomènes se déployant dans le temps, le couple stock/flux. Ainsi, si on prend l’ensemble des cultes antiques en vigueur à un moment donné, il est possible de formaliser cette somme pour l’envisager comme un « stock » de cultes. L’ampleur de ce stock est alors évidemment une question d’échelle e…
Governing childhood through crime prevention: The case of the German school system
Over the last decade, numerous crime prevention programmes have been implemented across the German school sector. Although several serious violent attacks have happened in the last 12 years in German schools, the emergence of crime prevention programmes within the education sector cannot simply be conceived as a reaction to a rise in youth crime. Following Michel Foucault's writings on power and governmentality, and drawing upon extracts of a dis…
Learning from failed policy mobilities: Contradictions, resistances and unintended outcomes in the transfer of “Business Improvement Districts” to Germany
This paper contributes to the debates on policy mobilities by examining Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in Germany as examples of contested, failed and unfinished travelling policies. Recent debates on policy mobilities opened a fruitful discussion on how policies are transferred from one place to another and the complex processes that rework places and policies in heterogeneous ways. While we are sympathetic to this literature, there are t…
Seeing the forest and the trees: Facilitating participatory network planning in environmental governance
Reclaiming the European City and Lobbying for Privilege: Business Improvement Districts in Germany
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are an increasing global phenomenon. In diverse places, they are established and sought of as helpful means to improve urban places. BIDs are frequently seen as a showcase for new forms of globalizing urban policies. This paper contrasts and broadens the frequent examples from the United States and the United Kingdom with experiences from Germany. We argue that this presents not just another example of BIDs a…
L’historien et ses modèles
Parler des modèles en histoire est une affaire délicate, car le mot recouvre des pratiques historiennes différentes depuis son apparition dans la discipline, après la dernière guerre mondiale. Pour une minorité d’historiens surtout spécialisés en histoire économique, il correspond à une vision nouvelle de la discipline qui tenterait d’intégrer certaines démarches mathématiques, en particulier aujourd’hui la théorie des jeux. Pour d’autres, en rev…
