»Sein Gesicht war eigentlich sehr ebenmäßig geschnitten. Er hatte aber zugleich etwas (…) von einem Tier, das in seinen Backen Vorräte sammelt.« (Adorno über Benjamin) In seinen Schriften unternimmt Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) eine Standortbestimmung innerhalb einer als Kräftefeld verstandenen Gegenwart. Philosophie, so könnte man mit Benjamin sagen, ist ihre Zeit in »Denkbildern« gefasst. Sein Werk lässt den Leser nicht nur durch die »Eiswüste der Abstraktion« wandern, sondern auch durch Städte, Kaufhäuser oder Passagen, neben eigenartigen Figuren wie dem Flaneur, dem Lumpensammler, dem Wartenden. Durch seine Texte richten wir den Blick gleichzeitig auf die vermeintlich hochwertigen Bildungsgüter und auf die flüchtigsten Kulturphänomene, um die implizite Gewalt, aber auch die unausgesprochenen Hoffnungen der Moderne in den Fokus zu rücken. Die vorliegende Einführung nähert sich durch eine Betrachtung dieser Orte, Bilder und Figuren dem Leben und Denken Benjamins – und dies für jedermann verständlich. Eine leichte Sprache, sowie die Kombination von Zeichnung und Text sorgen für hohe Anschaulichkeit, sodass sich auch Leser ohne akademische Vorkenntnisse an eine der wichtigsten Philosophien des 20. Jahrhunderts herantrauen dürfen

»Totalitäre Herrschaft gleich der Tyrannis trägt den Keim ihres Verderbens in sich. So wie Furcht und die Ohnmacht, aus der sie entspringt, ein antipolitisches Prinzip und eine dem politischen Handeln konträre Situation darstellen, so sind Verlassenheit und das ihr logisch-ideologische Deduzieren zum Ärgsten hin eine antisoziale Situation und ein alles menschliche Zusammensein ruinierendes Prinzip. Dennoch ist organisierte Verlassenheit erheblich bedrohlicher als die unorganisierte Ohnmacht aller, über die der tyrannisch-willkürliche Wille eines einzelnen herrscht. Ihre Gefahr ist, daß sie die uns bekannte Welt, die überall an ein Ende geraten scheint, zu verwüsten droht, bevor wir die Zeit gehabt haben, aus diesem Ende einen neuen Anfang erstehen zu sehen, der an sich in jedem Ende liegt, ja, der das eigentliche Versprechen des Endes an uns ist.« Am Grunde des Denkens von Hannah Arendt liegen die Erfahrungen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zwei Weltkriege und die Shoah haben Verwüstung hinterlassen, wo vorher die alten Welten der abendländischen Kultur bestanden hatten. Damit ist auch der Glauben an humanistische Werte, der Glaube daran, dass der Mensch dem Menschen kein Wolf sein muss, in seinen Grundfesten erschüttert. Die Welt liegt in Trümmern und mit ihr die Menschen. Wie also weiter leben?

Arktis. Et benhårdt og iskoldt miljø, hvor dyr og planter gennem årtusinder har tilpasset sig ekstreme forhold. Men Arktis er også et sårbart miljø, der i de seneste årtier har undergået store forandringer. Temperaturen er steget markant, og havisen er skrumpet betragteligt. Kan den højarktiske natur følge med sådanne ændringer?I denne bog fortæller 22 danske forskere om mere end 14 års minutiøs overvågning af det højarktiske økosystem i Nordøstgrønland. Med Forskningsstation Zackenberg som faglig og social ramme har forskerne siden 1995 målrettet arbejdet på tværs af videnskabelige fagområder for at kortlægge miljøet i en ca. 30 km2 stor dal og forstå klimaets betydning for det samlede økosystem.Historien om naturen og klimaændringerne i Nordøstgrønland begynder med historien om etableringen af Forskningsstation Zackenberg og driften af stationen. Herefter følger en række artikler, hvor observationerne bliver fremlagt og forklaret. Hvad sker der med jordmiljøet - med permafrost og kulstofomsætning? Hvad spirer i plantedækket og lever i søerne? Og hvordan reagerer trækfugle, rovdyr og byttedyr, når fødekæderne ændrer sig? Dagbogsoptegnelser om forskernes liv og oplevelser fungerer som pauser imellem artiklerne, og bogen afsluttes med et samlet bud på, hvordan fremtidens Arktis kunne komme til at se ud, hvis den globale opvarmning fortsætter.Bogen indledes med et forord af Hans Kongelige Højhed Kronprins Frederik.

I marts 2005 var det 20 år, siden Mikhail Gorbatjov kom til magten i Sovjetunionen som generalsekretær for Sovjetunionens Kommunistiske Parti og fremlagde sit program til reform af det sovjetiske system. Nøgleordene i reformen var perestrojka, glasnost og demokratisering. De fik ikke alene betydning indadtil, men også udadtil i forholdet til omverdenen, der hurtigt fattede lid til Gorbatjov og hans nyskabelser. Dette working paper giver et overblik over Gorbatjovs og hans meningsfællers opfattelse af udviklingen siden da og deres vurdering af reformernes skæbne og skildrer Ruslands stilling på verdensscenen i dag. Dette indebærer også en kritisk vurdering af præsident Vladimir Putins indenrigs- og udenrigspolitik. Der tegnes et billede af et svagt Rusland, der ikke har frigjort sig fra den sovjetiske arvs byrde, men tværtimod på mange måder søger tilbage til den autoritære styreform, et Rusland, der ved inertiens kraft stadig nyder en vis respekt, om end ikke anseelse i det internationale samfund. ; In March 2005 it was 20 years since Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union as Secretary-General of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and presented his programme for reform of the Soviet system. Key words in the reform were perestroika, glasnost and democratization. They became important not only internally but also externally in the relations to the outside world that swiftly put its trust in Gorbachev and his innovations. This working paper gives an overview of the perception that Gorbachev and his like-minded have of the development since then, presents their evaluation of the fate of the reforms and of the position of Russia on the world scene today. This also includes a critical evaluation of the domestic and foreign policies of President Vladimir Putin. The paper outlines a weak Russia that has not released itself from the burden of the Soviet heritage but on the contrary in many ways goes back to the authoritarian form of government, a Russia that by inertia still enjoys a certain respect although not esteem in the international community.

ParlaMint is a multilingual set of comparable corpora containing parliamentary debates mostly starting in 2015 and extending to mid-2020, with each corpus being about 20 million words in size. The sessions in the corpora are marked as belonging to the COVID-19 period (after October 2019), or being "reference" (before that date). The corpora have extensive metadata, including aspects of the parliament; the speakers (name, gender, MP status, party affiliation, party coalition/opposition); are structured into time-stamped terms, sessions and meetings; with speeches being marked by the speaker and their role (e.g. chair, regular speaker). The speeches also contain marked-up transcriber comments, such as gaps in the transcription, interruptions, applause, etc. Note that some corpora have further information, e.g. the year of birth of the speakers, links to their Wikipedia articles, their membership in various committees, etc. The corpora are encoded according to the Parla-CLARIN TEI recommendation (https://clarin-eric.github.io/parla-clarin/), but have been validated against the compatible, but much stricter ParlaMint schemas. This entry contains the ParlaMint TEI-encoded corpora with the derived plain text version of the corpus along with TSV metadata on the speeches. Also included is the 2.0 release of the data and scripts available at the GitHub repository of the ParlaMint project. Note that there also exists the linguistically marked-up version of the corpus, which is available at http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1405.
