    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, language: English, abstract: In this essay I want to analyse and compare the two short stories 'The Sisters' and 'The Dead' from James Joyce's Dubliners, the analysis of the theme of paralysis being a second focus. The first story of the Dubliners collection, 'The Sisters', opens the Dubliners sequence and explicitly introduces the topic of paralysis, one of Joyce's major concerns and a direct criticism in view of his home town Dublin. Therefore the topic of paralysis suggests further investigation, especially concerning the content of 'The Sisters'. In this essay I will ignore the earlier version of 'The Sisters', which was printed in The Irish Homestead in 1904, to avoid confusion and to concentrate on Joyce's revised version, which was published in 1914 as the beginning of the Dubliners collection. Moreover the revised Dubliners version is better suited to be discussed in my essay, because of the fact that I want to take the general concept of paralysis within the whole collection of Dubliners into consideration. Nevertheless I will not take into account the contents of the other short stories from Dubliners, because I want to concentrate on the comparison between 'The Sisters' and 'The Dead', in order to avoid digressions and to keep my main focus in mind. 'The Dead' I chose for investigation, because several parallels to 'The Sisters' and similarities concerning the contents suggest to understand 'The Dead' as a final coda or summary to the Dubliners collection. Another reason for my choice of the two stories is founded on personal considerations: if I compiled a collection of short stories, I would put the best story at the ending as a climax and finale, and the second best at the beginning to arouse the reader's interest and curiosity. I assume that Joyce pursued a similar strategy. First I want to give a brief overview of common understandings and analysis of the central aspects and main characters of the two short stories, followed by an interpretation of the first and the last story of Dubliners as beginning and ending of a cycle. Next I want to show some more conspicuous parallels between 'The Sisters' and 'The Dead', especially referring to the topic of paralysis. On the one hand I investigate paralysis as a theme within the short stories and as a characteristic of the storys' main characters, and on the other as Joyce's criticism towards his home town Dublin.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2-, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (Institut für fremdsprachliche Philologien), language: English, abstract: In this essay I want to compare different cigarette ads from Marlboro, Lucky Strike and West in detail and in general. Moreover, I want to analyse the different target groups and characteristics of the different brands' smokers. It is conspicuous that many cigarette brands do not advertise for a particular kind of tobacco and its taste or quality, but for a certain image, lifestyle or attitude. This makes clear that many cigarette brands advertise more for an image than the actual product and brings up the question why cigarette brands concentrate on promoting and emphasizing the brand image. Since the different brands address and appeal to different types of persons or smokers, I am going to find out, what makes a person choose a certain cigarette brand. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Linguistik, Note: 2,5, Universität Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The aim of this scientific paper is an exemplary but detailed analysis of English conversational tautologies. Based on relevant secondary literature I want to sum up theoretical investigations to present a systematic classification and categorization for a concrete analysis. This includes various ways of distinguishing between different types of tautological utterances. Next, I will examine a number of tautologies in view of their usage, effect and commonness by means of the search engine Google . I also want to add information on the issue, at which point common conventions of tautological usage become invalid.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Russistik / Slavistik, Note: 2,3, Universität Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der ornamentale Stil der Kurzgeschichte Drakon ermöglicht durch die mythische Darstellung des Drachen die kritischen Ansichten des Autors zu verschleiern. Da eine direkte Kritisierung der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung fatale Folgen gehabt haben könnte, stellt sich die stilistisch eigensinnige Entwicklung des Autors als vorteilhaft für sein persönliches Schicksal heraus. Im vorliegenden Referat soll somit durch eine Analyse stilistischer und inhaltlicher Auffälligkeiten sowie der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Ansichten des Autors erörtert werden, inwiefern der ornamentale Stil und der gesellschaftskritische Inhalt der Erzählung Drakon miteinander verknüpft sind. Darüber hinaus bezieht sich der Begriff der Archaik auch auf das von primitiven, ursprünglichen Bedürfnissen geleitete menschliche Handeln und bildet damit eine Opposition zum rationalen Denken und modernen Ideologien der Gegenwart. Dieser Gegensatz wird bereits in der zum früheren Werk Zamjatins zählenden Kurzgeschichte Drakon deutlich, findet allerdings noch stärkeren Ausdruck in späteren Geschichten wie Attila, My oder Pe era. Auch in Ostrovitjane und Lovec elovekov wird eine archaische, also vorrationale und triebhafte Existenz als eine Art Gegenmodell zur rationalen Welt dargestellt. Die vorliegende Arbeit berücksichtigt diesen Aspekt im Rahmen des für die Kurzgeschichte Drakon relevanten Umfangs. Zur Recherche nach relevanter Sekundärliteratur wurde der Campuskatalog der Universität Hamburg, die online Bibliographie MLA und die im Rahmen des Seminars von Herrn Professor Schmid zur Verfügung gestellte Zamjatin Bibliographie berücksichtigt.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Russistik / Slavistik, Note: 2,7, Universität Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist ein Vergleich unterschiedlicher Beziehungsmodelle des Romans Anna Karenina. Im Mittelpunkt steht hierbei die Gegenüberstellung der traditionellen Ehe mit der illegitimen Liebesbeziehung, wobei eine genaue Untersuchung der Paare Anna-Karenin und Levin-Kiti sowie Anna-Vronskij zur Verdeutlichung dienen soll. Die Beschränkung auf die genannten Personenkonstellationen ist durch ihre deutliche Repräsentativität für positive bzw. negative Familienmodelle begründet. Darüber hinaus ist der moralische Kontrast zwischen den Paaren Anna-Vronskij und Kiti-Levin enorm auffällig, da sich beispielsweise das überraschende Zusammentreffen von Anna und Vronskij deutlich von der langsamen und schüchternen Verlobung und Heirat von Kiti und Levin unterscheidet. Schließlich fehlen Anna und Vronskij Zukunftspläne und ein eigenes Heim, da sie einzig und allein von ihrer Leidenschaft für einander leben. In dieser Hinsicht werden Levin und Kiti vollkommen anders dargestellt, was jedoch nicht bedeutet, dass ihre Beziehung frei von Problemen und Unstimmigkeiten ist. Dennoch dient die reine Liebe zwischen Kiti und Levin der Verdeutlichung der Falschheit der Liebe von Anna und Vronskij, was an einigen Stellen des Romans besonders deutlich wird. Als Anna sich in Vronskij verliebt, wird Levin von Kiti abgelehnt; als Kiti und Levin sich schließlich verlieben, versucht Anna im Sterbebett sich mit Karenin zu vertragen und ihre Liebe zu Vronskij aufzugeben; als Anna und Vronskij Russland verlassen um gemeinsam zu reisen, heiraten Kiti und Levin. Im Großen und Ganzen lässt sich sagen, dass der Roman das Zugrundegehen der Liebe zwischen Anna und Vronskij und das Wachsen und Reifen der Liebe zwischen Kiti und Levin beschreibt. Diese Entwicklungen sollen in der vorliegenden Arbeit genauer untersucht werden. Die Thematik des Heiratens und der entsprechenden Vorbereitungen einer Eheschließung soll hier nicht behandelt werden, da in erster Linie die Bedingungen und Eigenschaften einer erfolgreichen Beziehung bzw. Ehe im Fokus dieser Arbeit liegen. Um die Beziehungen der zentralen Charaktere deutlich zu beleuchten soll auf vorhandene Sekundärliteratur sowie textnahe Analyse des Primärtextes zurückgegriffen werden. Dabei werden insbesondere die Stellen des Romans untersucht, die sich explizit mit dem Begriff 'Ehe' (russisch: brak) auseinandersetzen.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universität Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ausgehend von der Figur Dorimants in George Ethereges The Man of Mode soll das Phänomen der Selbstinszenierung untersucht werden. Ziel der Arbeit ist die Herausarbeitung der Methoden und Mittel der Selbstinszenierung, wie auch die Herstellung eines Zusammenhangs zu historisch-kulturellen Hintergründen. Neben einer, auf Sekundärliteratur basierenden, Einführung in Rolle und Charakter des rake sowie einer Einbettung in ihren Kontext soll durch Textanalyse die Art der Selbstinszenierung Dorimants genauer untersucht werden. Dazu werden Grundzüge von Ausarbeitungen des Soziologen Erving Goffmans hinzugezogen, die als theoretisches Gerüst für die Analyse von Dorimants Selbstinszenierung dienen werden. Auffällige Textstellen sind beispielsweise der Anfang des Stücks, in dem sich der unbekleidete Dorimant bildhaft seine Robe und damit auch seine Rolle anlegt, sowie sein Auftritt als Mr Courtage gegenüber der Mutter Harriets. Dorimants Selbstinszenierung wird schließlich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven betrachtet. Nachdem Indizien für eine vorliegende Selbstinszenierung herausgearbeitet wurden, werden die Methoden dieser Inszenierung genauer betrachtet. Dabei wird die rein äußerliche Selbstdarstellung von der sprachlichen Inszenierung der eigenen Reputation und der Gestaltung persönlicher Beziehungen und Intrigen unterschieden. Darüber hinaus wird nach Motiven der Selbstinszenierung und einem zugrunde liegenden ideologischen Prinzip gesucht. Abschließend werden Anzeichen für eine nachlassende Selbstinszenierung durch die Liebe zu Harriet dargestellt.…

The first story of the Dubliners collection, 'The Sisters', opens the Dubliners sequence and explicitly introduces the topic of paralysis, one of Joyce's major concerns and a direct criticism in view of his home town Dublin. Therefore the topic of paralysis suggests further investigation, especially concerning the content of 'The Sisters'. In this essay I will ignore the earlier version of 'The Sisters', which was printed in The Irish Homestead in 1904, to avoid confusion and to concentrate on Joyce's revised version, which was published in 1914 as the beginning of the Dubliners collection. Moreover the revised Dubliners version is better suited to be discussed in my essay, because of the fact that I want to take the general concept of paralysis within the whole collection of Dubliners into consideration. Nevertheless I will not take into account the contents of the other short stories from Dubliners, because I want to concentrate on the comparison between 'The Sisters' and 'The Dead', in order to avoid digressions and to keep my main focus in mind. 'The Dead' I chose for investigation, because several parallels to 'The Sisters' and similarities concerning the contents suggest to understand 'The Dead' as a final coda or summary to the Dubliners collection. Another reason for my choice of the two stories is founded on personal considerations: if I compiled a collection of short stories, I would put the best story at the ending as a climax and finale, and the second best at the beginning to arouse the reader's interest and curiosity. I assume that Joyce pursued a similar strategy. First I want to give a brief overview of common understandings and analysis of the central aspects and main characters of the two short stories, followed by an interpretation of the first and the last story of Dubliners as beginning and ending of a cycle. Next I want to show some more conspicuous parallels between 'The Sisters' and 'The Dead', especially referring to the topic of paralysis. On the one hand I investigate paralysis as a theme within the short stories and as a characteristic of the storys' main characters, and on the other as Joyce's criticism towards his home town Dublin. 20 pp. Englisch.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,8, Hamburg University of Technology, language: English, abstract: In the seminar dealing with poetry in language education we decided to investigate contemporary students' attitude towards poetry, furthermore their experiences with poetry in school. The most appropriate way to achieve reasonable results to this question seemed to be a questionnaire, which we planned to hand in in class and analyze later on at home. With regard to a useful target group we finally decided to deal with a grammar school's senior class, close to university campus in a wealthy district of Hamburg and with a strong probability of a high educational level in the family background. In an area with such conditions we assumed to find students that had come in touch with poetry more often than students with a less sophisticated background. Beginning with developing a research design, the main research question and the questionnaire, we aimed at the students' personal interest in poetry, their experiences with poetry in their leisure time and their poetry experiences during English classes. The core of our project lies in the verification or falsification of a thesis by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, containing that most students' experiences with poetry at school, especially the way poetry is taught at school, have a demotivating effect on the students' general attitude towards poetry. 24 pp. Englisch.…
