Das Gesicht im Film: Von der Kulturgeschichte bis zur Instrumentalisierung in Industriefilmen des "Dritten Reichs"
by Frank Thomas MeyerDas menschliche Gesicht gilt einerseits als subtiler, „schwacher Code“, das sich im Alltag den Deutungen der menschlichen Wahrnehmung immer wieder zu entziehen scheint. Andererseits wird gerade in Medien wie dem Film das Gesicht strategische eingesetzt, um unterschwellig Botschaften zu vermitteln. Die Bild-Werdung des Menschen hat, wie diese Arbeit zeigt, nicht erst mit dem Aufkommen von Diktaturen seine „Unschuld“ verloren. Aber erst im Modus seiner Lesbarmachung, als still gestelltes Bild wie es in Form der Großaufnahme im Film zur Geltung kommt, kann es als scheinbare Evidenz seine manipulierende Funktion einnehmen.Ob in Deutschland, Italien oder Russland – alle diese Diktaturen wollen sich zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts der Arbeiterschaft versichern, um ihre ideologischen Ziele zu verwirklichen. Das kulturell und symbolisch vorgeprägte Gesicht, muss daher für die Propaganda umcodiert werden. Dem immer noch weit verbreiteten Verdikt der „Gleichschaltung“ wird jedoch in diesem Buch differenziert gegenübergetreten: Die Möglichkeiten des Gesichts, es für unterschiedlichen historischen Konstellationen und Herausforderungen anzupassen und zu instrumentalisieren, machen es zu einem facettenreichen Medium für rhetorische Strategien.
Das Nachleben der Künste: Von Kunst und Künsten zu Materialien und Orten (Ästhetiken X.0 – Zeitgenössische Konturen ästhetischen Denkens)
by Christian GrünyDie künstlerische Produktion der Gegenwart ist äußerst divers und kaum mehr auf klare Kategorien festlegbar. Es ist eine geläufige Diagnose, dass sich Disziplinengrenzen auflösen und dass letztlich alles in einer Kunst im Singular aufgeht. Das Buch vertritt die These, dass bei allen Überschreitungs- und Hybridisierungsbewegungen disziplinäre Logiken weiterhin bedeutsam sind und dass die Begriffe der Kunst im Singular und der Künste im Plural nur schlecht geeignet sind, diese Situation zu beschreiben: Sie unterschätzen die Heterogenität der künstlerischen Arbeiten bzw. suggerieren, die verschiedenen Disziplinen ließen sich sauber nebeneinander sortieren und folgten im Großen und Ganzen derselben Logik, was offensichtlich nicht der Fall ist. Als alternative Beschreibungsmöglichkeiten werden die Begriffe des Materials und des Ortes angeboten, mit denen jeweils konkrete, aber systematisch verankerte Analysen an die Stelle klarer Kategorisierungen gesetzt werden. Der Begriff des künstlerischen Materials wird von Theodor W. Adorno übernommen, aber flexibilisiert: Er ist produktiv darin, dass er die innere Historizität von Kunstwerken zu denken erlaubt und sie auf Vorläufer und Traditionslinien beziehbar macht. Er muss allerdings von der Vorstellung eines klaren Fortschritts befreit und von der Fixierung auf einzelne, getrennte Disziplinen gelöst werden. Mit dem Begriff des Ortes wird der disziplinären, architektonischen, institutionellen und geopolitischen Situierung künstlerischer Arbeiten Rechnung getragen. Die beiden Begriffe funktionieren komplementär, indem sie Materiallinien auch über Grenzen hinweg verfolgbar und die Interferenzen beschreibbar machen, die sich bei Ortswechseln ergeben.Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.
Das Populäre als Kunst?: Fragen der Form, Werturteile, Begriffe und Begründungen
by Thomas HeckenPopulären Werken wird seit Jahrhunderten der Status des Kunstwerks aberkannt, unter Verweis auf deren vermeintliche Oberflächlichkeit, Eindimensionalität, Effekthascherei und Standardisierung werden sie streng von ‚echter‘ Kunst geschieden. Schiller, Nietzsche, Adorno, Greenberg, unzählige Kritiker und Feuilletonisten in Westeuropa und den USA – sie alle eint ein starker Vorbehalt gegenüber dem, was von den Vielen anerkannt, geschätzt und gekauft wird. Seit Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts und besonders seit den 1950er Jahren gibt es aber auch eine Reihe von Argumenten gegen die Auffassung, dass nichts Kunst sei, was auf große Zustimmung trifft. Die Fülle an unterschiedlichen Positionen, Aussagen und Argumentationsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, zu bündeln, zu systematisieren und zu überprüfen, die dem Populären zu künstlerischer Anerkennung verhelfen wollen, ist Zweck dieses Buches. Das Resultat ist eine umfassende Darstellung von Gründen, auch populäre Werke aus Literatur, Musik, Film, Fotografie, bildender Kunst und Design als genuine Kunstwerke betrachten zu können.
Das Theater der Elektrizität: Technologie und Spektakel im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert (Szene & Horizont. Theaterwissenschaftliche Studien #6)
by Ulf OttoDas Theater der Moderne gründet sich auf ästhetische Energien. Seit den 1880er Jahren aber sind es elektrische Energien, aus fossilen Brennstoffen in Kraftwerken erzeugt, die im Theater zu zirkulieren beginnen. Installiert wird eine mysteriöse Entität, die noch als Lebenskraft gehandelt wird und schon für Fortschritt durch Technik steht. Mit der Elektrifizierung des Theaters wird Elektroindustrie respektabel und Bühnenkunst modernistisch. Entsorgt werden die Kulissen, die im Scheinwerferlicht nur noch verstaubt erscheinen, und aus der Bildermaschine wird Raumkunst. Doch wichtiger sind die institutionellen Transformationen, die sich in bislang unbeachteten Koalitionen, Kontinuitäten und Konkurrenzen von technischen und ästhetischen Dingen abspielen. Ingenieurswissen, Kontrolltechniken und Versorgungssysteme ändern, wie Theater und Gesellschaft verschaltet sind. Der Interaktionsraum (zwischen-)menschlicher Leiblichkeit des 20. Jahrhunderts entpuppt sich als eine technische Konstellation.
Das Videodrama: Ein religionspädagogisches Filmprojekt im interdisziplinären Dialog (pop.religion: lebensstil – kultur – theologie)
by Julian SengelmannDas religionspädagogische und praktisch-theologische Projekt VIDEODRAMA ist ein hybrider, interdisziplinärer Ansatz, bei dem mit einer Gruppe in einem kreativen Prozess ein Film produziert wird, der im „Raum eines biblischen Textes“ entsteht. Die Teilnehmenden entwickeln diese Filmerzählung in allen Facetten einer klassischen Filmproduktion bis hin zur Premiere in einem Kino. Das VIDEODRAMA ist ein interdisziplinäres Projekt, das sich dezidiert von wissenschaftlichen Konkurrenzen und Konzeptionen loslöst. Dieses Buch begleitet exemplarisch einen solchen Prozess, entwickelt eine Theorie des VIDEODRAMAS und bringt diese mit ausgewählten aktuellen religionspädagogischen Diskussionen ins Gespräch.

Dashing Through the Snowbirds: A Meg Langslow Mystery (Meg Langslow Mysteries #32)
by Donna AndrewsDashing Through the Snowbirds is the next merry installment of Donna Andrews's New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow mystery series.Christmas in Caerphilly is wonderful! Unless you’re a Canadian whose inconsiderate boss is forcing you to spend the holiday there, far from family and friends, with only a slim chance of a white Christmas. Meg already has her hands full, trying to make the season festive for the dozen programmers who are staying with her and Michael while working on a rush project with her brother’s software company. At least it’s an interesting project, since the Canadian company is doing forensic genealogy and DNA analysis.When the inconsiderate boss is found murdered, there are too many suspects. Even before their Christmas in exile, his own employees had plenty of motives, and the growing number of people suing the company for faulty DNA analysis and invasion of their genetic privacy include at least one notorious murderer. Can Meg crack the case in time to keep the Yuletide bright?
Dashing to the End: The Ray Milland Story (Hollywood Legends Series)
by Eric MonderBorn Alfred Reginald John Truscott-Jones, Welsh American actor Ray Milland (1907–1986) appeared in more than 135 theatrical releases between 1929 and 1985 and on radio, television, and the stage, while also becoming a film director; Milland’s extensive canon across such a period is remarkable, especially considering his lack of formal training, his belated start in show business in his late twenties, and the fact he only lived to age seventy-nine. Perhaps best remembered for his Oscar-winning performance as the tortured alcoholic in Billy Wilder’s The Lost Weekend (1945) or his outstanding collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock in Dial M for Murder (1954), there is much more to Milland’s life and career than the few films that elevated him from star to icon. Despite his prolific and successful career, Dashing to the End: The Ray Milland Story is the first comprehensive biography of the star. Milland’s personal and professional trajectory epitomize quintessential Hollywood lore: the British army soldier-turned-actor who went from unknown, struggling bit player to Oscar-winning star to aging, scandal-haunted “has-been” to comeback character actor to present-day cult figure. Using interviews with Milland’s costars and colleagues, as well as research from several major archives, author Eric Monder brings into sharp relief both the positive and negative aspects of the Hollywood film and television industries and paints a well-rounded portrait of this complex man and artist.

Data Analytics and Learning: Proceedings of Dal 2018 (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems #43)
by D. S. Guru P. Nagabhushan B. H. Shekar Y. H. Sharath KumarThis paper describes a method to localize and recognize seven-segment displays on digital energy meters. Color edge detection is first performed on a camera-captured image of the device which is then followed by a run-length technique to detect horizontal and vertical lines. The region of interest circumscribing the LCD panel is determined based on the attributes of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. The extracted display region is preprocessed using the morphological black-hat operation to enhance the text strokes. Adaptive thresholding is then performed and the digits are segmented based on stroke features. Finally, the segmented digits are recognized using a support vector machine classifier trained on a set of syntactic rules defined for the seven-segment font. The proposed method can handle images exhibiting uneven illumination, the presence of shadows, poor contrast, and blur, and yields a recognition accuracy of 97% on a dataset of 175 images of digital energy meters captured using a mobile camera.

Data Analytics: Effective Methods for Presenting Results (Data Analytics Applications)
by Subhashish Samaddar Satish NargundkarIf you are a manager who receives the results of any data analyst’s work to help with your decision-making, this book is for you. Anyone playing a role in the field of analytics can benefit from this book as well. In the two decades the editors of this book spent teaching and consulting in the field of analytics, they noticed a critical shortcoming in the communication abilities of many analytics professionals. Specifically, analysts have difficulty in articulating in business terms what their analyses showed and what actionable recommendations were made. When analysts made presentations, they tended to lapse into the technicalities of mathematical procedures, rather than focusing on the strategic and tactical impact and meaning of their work. As analytics has become more mainstream and widespread in organizations, this problem has grown more acute. Data Analytics: Effective Methods for Presenting Results tackles this issue. The editors have used their experience as presenters and audience members who have become lost during presentation. Over the years, they experimented with different ways of presenting analytics work to make a more compelling case to top managers. They have discovered tried and true methods for improving presentations, which they share. The book also presents insights from other analysts and managers who share their own experiences. It is truly a collection of experiences and insight from academics and professionals involved with analytics. The book is not a primer on how to draw the most beautiful charts and graphs or about how to perform any specific kind of analysis. Rather, it shares the experiences of professionals in various industries about how they present their analytics results effectively. They tell their stories on how to win over audiences. The book spans multiple functional areas within a business, and in some cases, it discusses how to adapt presentations to the needs of audiences at different levels of management.

Data Science and Visual Computing (Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing)
by Rae Earnshaw David Kasik John DillData science addresses the need to extract knowledge and information from data volumes, often from real-time sources in a wide variety of disciplines such as astronomy, bioinformatics, engineering, science, medicine, social science, business, and the humanities. The range and volume of data sources has increased enormously over time, particularly those generating real-time data. This has posed additional challenges for data management and data analysis of the data and effective representation and display. A wide range of application areas are able to benefit from the latest visual tools and facilities. Rapid analysis is needed in areas where immediate decisions need to be made. Such areas include weather forecasting, the stock exchange, and security threats. In areas where the volume of data being produced far exceeds the current capacity to analyze all of it, attention is being focussed how best to address these challenges. Optimum ways of addressing large data sets across a variety of disciplines have led to the formation of national and institutional Data Science Institutes and Centers. Being driven by national priority, they are able to attract support for research and development within their organizations and institutions to bring together interdisciplinary expertise to address a wide variety of problems. Visual computing is a set of tools and methodologies that utilize 2D and 3D images to extract information from data. Such methods include data analysis, simulation, and interactive exploration. These are analyzed and discussed.
