Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften luden zu interdisziplinärem Workshop

Unter dem Titel „Bewegungsfreiheit. Tanz und Literatur (1900-1950)“ befasst sich von 28. bis 29. November 2014 ein Workshop an der Uni Graz mit Fragen zum Verhältnis von Sprache und Körperbewegung, zu im Tanz verkörperten Identitäts-, Gender- und Emotionskonzepten sowie zu Wahrnehmung und medialer Vermittlung von Bewegung und Emotion. In diesem Zusammenhang werden aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven kulturelle, ästhetische und soziale Veränderungen zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts diskutiert.

„Die Veranstaltung soll die Begegnung von NachwuchswissenschafterInnen und KollegInnen fördern“, so Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Susanne Knaller, Leiterin des Zentrums für Kulturwissenschaften der Uni Graz, das gemeinsam mit dem Forschungsbereich Allgemeine und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft zu diesem Workshop eingeladen hat. Dessen Thema ist auch ein inter- und transdisziplinärer Forschungsschwerpunkt des Zentrums.

Nach einer Einführung durch Dr. Rita Rieger startete der Workshop mit einer Performance von „Contact Improvisation“, einer Tanzform, bei der es um die Entdeckung von Bewegungsmöglichkeiten geht.

Das Vortragsprogramm eröffnete anschließend Prof. Inge Baxmann von der Universität Leipzig mit ihrem Vortrag „Bewegung, Rhythmus und labiles Gleichgewicht: Tanz und das Imaginäre der Gemeinschaft im frühen 20. Jahrhundert“.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.

Save, invest or guarantee: What Austrians expect from the state

Austria needs to make savings. But where? And what should the Republic actually be spending its money on? The answers are provided by the initial findings of a major study involving the University of Graz. 99 per cent of those surveyed are in favour of the state ensuring healthcare provision. Almost three-quarters would like to see more public funding for education, whilst only around three per cent are in favour of cuts in this sector.
