Gestaltung Als Künstlerisches Konzept In Psychiatrischen Anstalten Am Anfang Des 20. Jahrhunderts, Patrick Thurber-Svoboda Apr 2016

Gestaltung Als Künstlerisches Konzept In Psychiatrischen Anstalten Am Anfang Des 20. Jahrhunderts, Patrick Thurber-Svoboda

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Die Erforschung künstlerischer Kompositionen, die in psychiatrischen Anstalten geschaffen wurden, begann als interdisziplinäre Disziplin zwischen Kunstgeschichte, Medizin, Anthropologie, und den Naturwissenschaften. Die Gelehrten dieser Fächer haben damals geglaubt, dass die Kompositionen von Geisteskranken in psychiatrischen Anstalten mit einer Urkultur vergleichbar waren. Diese Gelehrten sahen ähnliche formelle Eigenschaften in der Kunst der Geisteskranken und der Kunst der “barbarischen” Urkulturen Europas, wie sie z.B. in europäischen Höhlenmalereien erhalten ist. Ich behaupte jedoch, dass die Kompositionen von Geisteskranken, die sie unter den Eindrücken von visuellen Halluzinationen gemalt haben, auf ein universales künstlerisches Gestaltungsprinzip deuten.

In der Theorie der “Gestaltung” listet Hans Prinzhorn (1886 …

Der Bütgerkrieg In Syrien Und Seine Opfer, Sophia Staerz

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Der syrische Bürgerkrieg, der sich seit 2011 hinzieht, hat sich in den letzten drei Jahren in einen internationalen bewaffneten Kampf entwickelt. Schon heute sind hunderttausende an ihm gestorben und Millionen vor ihm geflohen. Die extreme Zahlen der Vertriebenen haben die umliegenden Nationen und auch das ferne Europa stark belastet. Sie haben zu Konflikten zwischen denjenigen Ländern geführt, die bereit sind die Fluechtlinge aufzunehmen und ihnen zu helfen, und denjenigen, die den Zustrom aus dem Nahen Osten und damit der islamische Kultur fürchten. Mein Präsentationen hat das Ziel, über die Ereignisse, über die Ereignisse, Aktivitäten und Parteien dieses Konfliktes aufzuklären. Ich …


Medizin Im Nationalsozialismus, Niyant Vora Apr 2016

Medizin Im Nationalsozialismus, Niyant Vora

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Winston Churchill sagte, dass „der Sieger...die Geschichte [schreibt]“, und dieses Satz ist besonders das Wahre für Ereignisse die im Krieg passiert. Eines das allerbeste Bespiel ist der Geschichte von Medizin im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland. Oft hört man nur eine Seite dieser Geschichte, und durch meine Präsentation werde ich die zwei Seiten dieser Medizinsgeschichte erzählen. Eine Seite von NSDAP Medizin ist etwas das weniger wissen: das Versuch der Nazis eine gesündere Nation zu haben. Auch versuche ich in diesem Teil meines Referats zu erklären die Gründe hinter was die NSDAP gemacht hat, d.h. was motiviert Adolf Hitler und seine Partei allen die …
