"Industrie 4.0, Internet der Dinge und künstliche Intelligenz sind in den letzten Jahren zu geflügelten Worten in der öffentlichen Diskussion geworden. In zahlreichen Medien wird diskutiert, ob nach der Einführung des PCs und der Entwicklung des Internets die nächste technologische Revolution in Form von selbststeuernden und vernetzten Systemen und Maschinen bevorsteht. Eine Frage die hierbei im Zentrum der Diskussion steht lautet: Werden selbststeuernde Maschinen die menschliche Arbeitskraft in Zukunft nahezu vollständig ersetzen? In diesem Sinne wird vor allem darüber diskutiert wie sich neue Technologien auf das Berufs- und Privatleben auswirken. Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist eine kurze Bestandsaufnahme der bestehenden ökonomischen Literatur zum Thema Technologie und Arbeitsmarkt." Forschungsmethode: deskriptive Studie; Metaanalyse.

This thesis examines how historical, social, and political factors influence the creation of literary space, focusing on representations of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido in modern Japanese literature. The works examined below are set in Hokkaido from the 1880s to the 1930s, and they all exhibit a certain ambiguous duality. This ambiguity derives from Hokkaido's dual position as an internal colony, simultaneously being both within sovereign borders and without as a colonial space. Given its status as an internal colony, however, the tension between naichi (mainland Japan) and Hokkaido gives rise to issues over national and ethnic authenticity. These issues of authenticity and belonging are encoded spatially in the texts, and in the dialectical relationship between naichi and Hokkaido, Japanese "authenticity" itself is created, questioned, or reaffirmed. Because of its nature, these works make up the first corpus of colonial literature of Japan. After the "Introduction," the works of Kunikida Doppo (1871-1908), Arishima Takeo (1878-1923), Kobayashi Takiji (1903-1933), Itō Sei (1905-1969), and Honjō Mutsuo (1905-1939) will be examined.

Taking stock of Yiddish literature in 1939, critic Shmuel Niger highlighted the increasing number and importance of women writers. However, awareness of women Yiddish writers diminished over the years. Today, a modest body of novels, short stories, poems and essays by Yiddish women may be found in English translation online and in print, and little in the way of literary history and criticism is available. This collection of critical essays is the first dedicated to the works of Yiddish women writers, introducing them to a new audience of English-speaking scholars and readers.
