    Abstract ; Trotz der ausufernden Literatur über Walter Benjamin wurde das Konzept des Eingedenkens bislang nicht zum Gegenstand einer eingehenden Studie gemacht. Diese Lücke auszufüllen, nimmt sich die vorliegende Arbeit vor. Zunächst wird nach der Herkunft dieses ungebräuchlichen Terminus gefragt. So widmet sich das erste Kapitel einer Analyse von Ernst Blochs frühen Schriften (Geist der Utopie und Thomas Münzer), die den schillernden Begriff ›Eingedenken‹ in den philosophischen Diskurs des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts eingeführt haben. Damit bezieht sich Bloch auf einen besonderen Akt, der eine im Vergangenen liegende Potentialität aktualisiert und in verschiedenen Bereichen – Ästhetik, Erkenntnistheorie, Ontologie, Theologie – folgenschwere Wandlungen veranlassen kann. In den Schriften Walter Benjamins begegnet der Ausdruck ›Eingedenken‹ wohl ab 1927, als er anfängt, Notizen und Materialien für eine Arbeit über die Pariser Passagen zu sammeln. Zu den grundlegenden Einsichten, auf denen dieses Projekt beruht, gehört auch die Idee einer »dialektischen, kopernikanischen Wendung« der Geschichtsschreibung, die eben vom Eingedenken ermöglicht wird. Allerdings beschränkt sich Benjamin nicht darauf, Blochs Konzept in den Zusammenhang seiner eigenen Forschungen zu übertragen. Vielmehr befreit er das Eingedenken von der gnostisch-apokalyptischen »Metaphysik der Innerlichkeit«, die im Mittelpunkt der ersten Ausgabe vom Geist der Utopie stand. Im Gegensatz dazu läßt sich Benjamins Ansatz als anthropologisch-materialistisch bezeichnen. Vor allem die Surrealisten und Proust haben auf seine originelle Deutung dieses Begriffs einen maßgeblichen Einfluß ausgeübt: die ersteren mit ihrer Entdeckung der revolutionären Kräfte, die in der abgestorbenen Dingwelt liegen (s. Kap. 2), der zweite mit seiner detaillierten Erkundung der mémoire involontaire (s. Kap. 3). Im Laufe der 30er Jahre entwickelt Benjamin zugleich eine kritische Methode und eine Poetik, die um das Eingedenken kreisen, wie seine Schriften über Kraus (s. Kap. 4), Kafka (s. Kap. 6), Lesskow (s. Kap. 7) und Baudelaire (s. Kap. 8), sowie seine Kindheitserinnerungen (s. Kap. 5), die Briefsammlung Deutsche Menschen (s. Kap. 7) und die Geschichtsthesen (s. Kap. 8) ausführlich zeigen. Aus der eingehenden Lektüre dieser Schriften geht deutlich hervor, daß das Eingedenken ein facettenreiches Thema ist, das sich einer eindeutigen Definition entzieht. Deshalb schlage ich im neunten und letzten Kapitel vor, das Eingedenken als ›Idee‹ zu betrachten, indem ich auf Benjamins »Erkenntniskritische Vorrede« zum Trauerspielbuch zurückgreife. Fasst man die Ideen als Konstellationen auf, so müßte eine angemessene Darstellung der Idee des Eingedenkens die vielfältigen ›Sterne‹ ausfindig machen, aus denen diese Idee besteht. Dieser Aufgabe gerecht zu werden, hat die vorliegende Arbeit versucht. ; Abstract ; Starting with the essay on Proust published in 1929 the technical term Eingedenken plays a crucial role in Walter Benjamin’s writings. However a thorough research about this concept is still lacking in the immense literature on his thought. The principal aim of this doctoral thesis was to fill such lack by providing a vast and meticulous analysis of the meaning of Eingedenken in Benjamin’s work. The opening chapter shed light on the origins of this very peculiar and unusual German term: as a matter of fact it was Ernst Bloch, not Benjamin, who invented this concept in his first major book, Geist der Utopie (1918). By forming this bizarre noun from the phrasal verb “eingedenk sein”, Bloch tries to outline a utopian experience: an act by which the subject brings to light some potentialities hidden in a forgotten past. Benjamin not only read the first edition of Geist der Utopie, he also wrote a review of the book which is unfortunately missing. On the basis of his letters we argued that although he rejected Bloch’s gnostic metaphysics, Benjamin was deeply influenced by the idea of Eingedenken. This concept plays a central role in the method of the Passagenarbeit as well as in “On the concept of history”, Benjamin’s last text. Following the chronological development of Benjamin’s work I thus examined the different meanings the term Eingedenken assumes: the connection with the concept of Erwachen in the first drafts of the Passagenarbeit (chapter 2), Proust’s idea of “mémoire involontaire” and its translation by Benjamin with “ungewolltes Eingedenken” (chapter 3), the theory of quotation (Zitat) in the essay on Kraus (chapter 4), the specific logic of remembrance in the Berliner Kindheit (chapter 5), the idea of “Studium” in the essay on Kafka (chapter 6), the difference between recollection, memory, and Eingedenken in the essay on the Storyteller (chapter 7), and finally the salvation of the idea of Eingedenken in the essays on Baudelaire as well as in the thesis on the concept of history (chapter 8). The result of my research can be thus summarized this way: Benjamin’s Eingedenken has to be seen not as a concept with an unambiguous meaning, but as a “Denkfigur” or an “idea” in Benjamin’s sense (chapter 9).

    Other ; Travelogues involve different truth claims, depending on whether their authors attempt on the one hand to convey received knowledge about entities and places, or on the other hand, present accounts of the traveler character’s own experiences. This study focuses on a travelogue from 1764 written by the Arabian Nights’ Syrian storyteller, Ḥanna Dyāb. Having written his travelogue more than 50 years after his trip to Paris, he evidently conceived of his narrative as a means to re-enact his experiences as a young traveler. To describe his particular self-staging in this autodiegetic narration “before fiction” (Paige 2011), I argue that an understanding of focalization as a graded visual mediation between the character’s inner life and the reader is needed. This approach helps one grasp how, with reference to Dyāb’s travelogue, truth is not something the traveler witnesses, but rather something the reader is invited to realize. I conclude that, with this shift from witnessing to visualization (Vergegenwärtigung), Dyāb’s travelogue fulfills a core function of literature.

    Other ; Mit Hilfe des zeitgenössischen Romans 'The Circle' von Dave Eggers werden Entgrenzungs- und Verdichtungstendenzen moderner subjektivierter Arbeit illustriert, die einen Zusammenhang mit Burnout- und Erschöpfungsdepressionsdiagnosen plausibilisieren. Angesichts der Uneindeutigkeit der empirischen Evidenz wird vorgeschlagen, die Problematik der modernen Gestalt der Erwerbsarbeit – vor allem für diejenigen am unteren Ende der jeweiligen Hierarchien – nicht nur anhand ihrer Krankheitsträchtigkeit, sondern mit Hilfe des Konzepts der Lebensformen und ihrer normativen Aufladung zu kritisieren: Massiv entgrenzte und verdichtete Arbeit erscheint dann als Bruch des 'Arbeitsversprechens', das sich mit Entstehung der Arbeitsgesellschaft im 19. Jh. herausgebildet hat. ; Other ; Tendencies of a compression of labour and the blurring of the boundaries between leisure and work are illustrated by examples from Dave Eggers' novel 'The Circle'. Those tendencies plausibilize a link between modern forms of employment and the increase in bournout and depression diagnosis. Since the empirical evidence for those links remains insufficient to support the intuition that those forms of work are problematic, a different and ethical access to a critical view on modern forms of employment is proposed.

    Other ; Kosrae, or ‘The Island of The Sleeping Lady’ as it is known to locals, is the most remote island of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), located in the western Pacific. FSM is an independent sovereign nation consisting of four state in total: Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap and Kosrae. First claimed by the Spanish, who were forced to cede FSM to Germany in 1899. In 1914, the Japanese took military possession of the region resulting in considerable economic, social and political change for the islands’ inhabitants. By 1947 after WWII, the islands formed part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands commissioned by the UN and administered by the US. The FSM became an independent nation in 1986 while still retaining affiliation with the US under a ‘Compact of Free Association’ encouraging the officiating of English as a language of FSM, alongside local languages. Here I examine the presence and uses of English in Kosrae with reference to these socio-historical influences. First, I discuss the extralinguistic factors which have shaped the English that is currently found on Kosrae. Secondly, I assess the use of English in this community in light of Schneider’s (2007) ‘Dynamic Model’. Finally, an overview of the salient linguistic characteristics of Kosraean English, based on data collected in informal conversations on the island, will be presented. The overall objective is to present a socio-historical, political and linguistic description of a hitherto unexamined English emerging in a postcolonial environment. Schneider, E. (2007).

    Other ; Kosrae is the most remote island of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), with a population of less than 7,000 inhabitants, located in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and Guam. FSM is an independent sovereign nation consisting of four states in total: Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, and Kosrae. Having passed through the hands of Spain, Germany and Japan, the United States gained administrative control of FSM after WWII, as commissioned by the UN. The FSM became an independent nation in 1986 while still retaining affiliation with the US under a ‘Compact of Free Association’. Now both Kosraean and English are considered to be the two official languages and the variety of Kosraean English which has arisen proves for an interesting comparative study. In order to obtain the relevant data, I spent three months on the island of Kosrae, interviewing 90 local speakers, ranging in age (16-70), occupation, sex and time spent off island. The 45 minute long interviews were informal but supported by participant information to capture relevant data and conversations were guided in a way that aimed to reveal language and cultural attitudes. With reference to these samples, I examine the effects of American English on the language use in Kosrae. This paper aims to present a broad analysis of phonological, morphosyntactic and pragmatic features, such as pro-dropping, discourse markers and other practices in order to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the two varieties, which are coming to shape the variety developing on Kosrae. Having transcribed conversations using the tool Elan, I will put particular focus on [h] deletion and insertion, a rare occurrence found in a variety of post-colonial American English which I believe is of particular interest. I assess the presence of English in Kosrae with reference to sociological influences, past and present. First, I discuss the extralinguistic factors which have shaped the English that is currently used on Kosrae, including migration between US and FSM, and English as a language of administration, social media usage and visual media presence. Secondly, I assess the use of English in this community in light of Schneider’s (2007) ‘Dynamic Model’, with reference to America’s contribution as an ‘exploitation colony’ as defined by Mufwene (2001). Finally, an overview of the salient linguistic characteristics of Kosraean English, based on the data collected will be presented and compared to features associated with standard American English in view of examining overlap and divergence. The overall objective is to present a cross-linguistic description of a hitherto unexamined English emerging in a postcolonial environment with a juxtaposed contact variety.

    Abstract ; Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) emitting at 850 nm wavelength are known for their attractive optical features and a growing range of applications. The main goal of the present thesis is to demonstrate the feasibility of a monolithic integration of VCSELs with PIN-type photodiodes (PDs) for the operation as transceiver (TRx) chips in optical data links. The project milestones comprise the chip and the epitaxial layer design of the VCSEL–PIN PD device based on the established AlGaAs/GaAs material system, its fabrication development, electro-optical characterizations, and data transmission in a bidirectional optical link over a single, two-side butt-coupled standard graded-index (GI) multimode fiber (MMF). The monolithic design lowers the costs in the semiconductor technology as well as in packaging and avoids the use of external optics, even though it is employed with a single 50 µm core diameter GI MMF. Thus, the very compact optical link saves space, weight, and module cost. Deep insights into the electro-optical properties of VCSELs and PIN PDs are given by the theoretical description and measurements. The limitations of the small-signal modulation responses are of main interest in this thesis. Thus, the dynamic characteristics including the extraction of modeled parasitics are presented. Also the electrical and optical crosstalk between the integrated devices and both transmission channels as well as the fiber alignment tolerances are covered. The results in optical data transmission consisting of various experiments in half-duplex and full-duplex mode, both free-space and fiber-coupled over a single MMF are explained in detail. The monolithic TRx design is well suited for low-cost, compact optical links over distances of a few hundred meters. Capable to handle data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and more, these TRx chips can be employed, e.g., in automotive networks or in general to upgrade existing standard MMF networks to bidirectional operation.
