Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,3, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Institut für Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Gesprächsanalyse, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Fähigkeit zu Denken und diese Gedanken verbal ausdrücken zu können unterscheidet uns von anderen Lebewesen enorm: dies ist es, was uns zum Menschen macht."Wenn der Mensch[nun also] durch seine Sprachfähigkeit erst zum Menschen wird, dann bedeutet diese Sprachfähigkeit zugleich, dass der Mensch mit anderen Menschen in ein Gemeinsames und das heißt: in ein Gespräch eintreten kann." Das Gemeinsame ist der Grundstein unserer Existenz, nämlich die Möglichkeit sich mit anderen zu verständigen und auszutauschen. Da wir dies auf diverse Arten tun können, gibt es hier einigen Forschungsbedarf. So nimmt die Gesprächsanalyse einen nicht unerheblichen Teil der Linguistik ein. In dieser Hausarbeit stellt die Gesprächsanalyse die Grundlag...

Ron Athey is one of the most important, prolific, and influential performance artists of the past four decades. A singular example of lived creativity, his radical performances are odds with the art worlds and art marketplaces that have increasingly dominated contemporary art and performance art over the period of his career. Queer Communion, an exploration of Athey's career, refuses the linear narratives of art discourse and instead pays homage to the intensities of each mode of Athey's performative practice and each community he engages. Emphasizing the ephemeral and largely uncollectible nature of his work, the book places Athey's own writing at its center, turning to memoir, memory recall, and other modes of retrieval and narration to archive his performances. In addition to documenting Athey's art, ephemera, notes, and drawings, the volume features commissioned essays, concise "object lessons" on individual objects in the Athey archive, and short testi...

For four years the fighting now turned into a siege on a quite monstrous scale. Europe became the focus of fighting of a kind previously unimagined.

In Alexander Watson's compelling new history of the Great War, all the major events of the war are seen from the perspective of Berlin and Vienna. It is fundamentally a history of ordinary people.
