The competition will include a virtual co-design workshop on 16.5. from 13-15:00, with the participation of multidisciplinary experts from different disciplines and city organisations. The competition will close at 16.00 on 18 June 2024, when the work must be returned to the Moodle platform. The accepted competition entry and the credits awarded may be credited as summer studies. If the assignment does not meet the competition requirements in all respects, but is acceptable as a practice assignment, the number of credits will be lower. | | 10/04/2024 | Helka-Liisa Hentilä, Emilia Rönkkö | Organiser: Resistant Cities: Urban Planning as Means for Pandemic Prevention (RECIPE) project, together with the Oulu School of Architecture, University of Oulu, is organising an innovation competition to develop ideas for nature-based solutions that promote planetary health in cities. Background: The multidisciplinary project brings together environmental research, environmental health, health sciences, health history, information science and urban planning. The research generates new scientific knowledge of broad applicability and deepens societal understanding of the links between urban, living environment and health, develops methods for analysing and assessing health impacts, and promotes cross-sectoral discussion and cooperation between urban planning and health promotion. The project is funded by the Strategic Research Council of the Academy of Finland (Grant number 345220). Competition theme: Nature-based solutions rely on or are inspired by nature to solve problems and challenges. They are cost-effective, delivering simultaneous ecological, social and economic benefits and improving the resilience of systems. Innovative nature-based solutions address identified challenges such as climate change, loss of urban biodiversity, extreme weather events such as floods, loss of pollinators, loss of urban residents’ relationship with nature, loss of physical activity, and increased prevalence of inflammatory and infectious diseases. The fight against communicable diseases is not being taken into account in current urban planning, despite the fact that global urbanisation is continuing and many past and recent pandemics have originated and spread in cities. Solution characteristics: The competition proposal can be a concrete plan or a smaller intervention in the urban environment targeting to its various aspects, such as buildings, urban spaces, mobility, green areas, or other infrastructure. It can also be an event, or a new operational model of doing things that will have a positive impact on the way people interact with the urban environment. A competition entry can also be a service innovation or a digital tool for planning, monitoring, evaluating or ” well-being nudging”! Judging criteria: The solutions sought in the competition must be based on scientific research on the health and well-being impacts of nature and the built environment. Participants will have access to background material produced by researchers, and the use of this material in their ideas and solutions will be a key criterion for judging. Other criteria include the innovative nature of the solution, its impact, feasibility and scalability.
The prize money for the best entry in the competition is 1000 €. The jury reserves the right to divide the amount differently.
The copyright and other intellectual property rights (e.g. inventions) associated with the works remain with their authors. By entering the competition, you agree to follow the terms and conditions of the competition without any further agreement, and you give consent to the use of the material produced by the competition for research purposes. The competition material must be returned in the specified format (pdf-template and attached visual material max. 5 pages in pdf, ppt, jpg, tiff, OR most common video formats, max. 3 min).
| | The material related to the assignment can be found on the course’s Moodle platform. The scope of the competition is 5 credits. If the assignment does not meet the competition requirements in all respects but is acceptable as an assignment, the number of credits will be lower. | 5 | 30 | 30 | |

spring/summer semester 2024 | | Ruhr University Bochum | English Department | BA/BSc + MA/MSc | The lecture will be recorded and provided online, with some voluntary Zoom meetings for questions. | | | Prof. Dr. Burkhard Niederhoff | This lecture will provide a systematic introduction to narrative, the emphasis being on fictional narrative in prose, i.e. on novels and short stories. It will discuss such topics as plot, setting, free indirect thought (Erlebte Rede), flashback, point of view, unreliable narrator, etc. While it is my aim to give a systematic description of the various components of narrative, I will attempt not to indulge in terminological nitpicking. Instead, I will try to show that the terms offered by narrative theory can be used in the analysis and interpretation of texts; in other words, I will point out the meanings or effects created by particular narrative choices. The lecture will be based on David Lodge’s comic novel, The British Museum Is Falling Down, and a selection of shorter narratives. Students who wish to prepare for the lecture may read Franz Stanzel, Typische Formen des Romans, 10th ed. (Göttingen: Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht, 1981) or chs. 1 and 6 in Wayne Booth, The Rhetoric of Fiction, 2nd ed. (Chicago: Chicago UP, 1983); for more advanced students, I recommend Gérard Genette, Die Erzählung, 2nd ed. (Stuttgart: UTB, 1998). Required text: David Lodge. The British Museum Is Falling Down.

spring/summer semester 2024 | | Ruhr University Bochum | Faculty of Philology/English Department | BA/BSc + MA/MSc | Online | | 20/03/2024 | Anette Pankratz | According to Virginia Woolf, “in or about December 1910 human character changed”. Britain not only had a new monarch, George V, in 1910, there was also a series of strikes indicating the growing influence of the Trade Unions and the then new Labour Party. Suffragists fought for the vote for women. Last but not least, a London exhibition of works by Gauguin, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso puzzled many spectators and indicated new ways of representation. These changes did not come out of the blue. Theories by Darwin, Freud, Marx, Einstein and De Saussure undermined traditional absolutes about God, the universe, the nature of human beings and the functions of language. The atrocities of the ‘Great War’ were to exacerbate this spirit of scepticism and relativism. High Modernist writers try to cope with this new ‘structure of feeling’ by way of textual experiments which challenged conventional ways of seeing, writing and thinking. But Joyce, Woolf and Eliot are only the puzzling tips of a cool iceberg. The years between 1900 and 1930 saw mechanisation, commercialisation and urbanisation. Skyscrapers and the cinema, cars, planes and washing machines were to change a ‘whole way of life’. The lecture course aims at a survey of British culture between 1910 and 1939, balancing between high and popular modernism, jazz and Joyce, Woolf and Wimsey. This will be an asynchronous online course, credited on a pass/fail basis. The weekly units will contain pre-recorded Power Point Presentations and quizzes. In addition to this, there will be weekly non-obligatory live sessions for questions, clarifications, experiments and extra information.

spring/summer semester 2024 | | Ruhr University Bochum | Seminar für Klassische Philologie | BA/BSc + MA/MSc | | Einschreibung über eCampus | 24/04/2024 | Dr. Arnold Bärtschi | Liebe und Leidenschaft waren in antiker Literatur seit ihren Anfängen von zentraler Bedeutung und prägten sowohl Motive und Erzählstrukturen wie den Mythos zum Trojanischen Krieg als auch ganze Gattungen wie die römische Liebeselegie. Dabei boten unterschiedliche Textformen verschiedene Möglichkeiten an, um die gesellschaftliche Stellung und Einbindung von Liebe in all ihren Erscheinungsformen zu thematisieren und kritisch zu beleuchten: Die griechische Knabenliebe, die matriarchale Gesellschaft der Amazonen oder der Sexstreik der Lysistrate sind nur drei Aspekte dieses vielseitigen Diskurses. Gerade Comics, die sich durch ihre charakteristische Verbindung von Bild und Text zur einer sequenzialen Erzählung auszeichnen, stellen vor diesem Hintergrund ein besonders reizvolles Medium zur Rezeption antiker Liebe dar. Dies gründet sich nicht nur in einer Vielzahl innovativer visueller Erzählmittel, sondern auch in zahllosen Anschlussmöglichkeiten an zeitgenössische Debatten und Diskurse. Dieser vielseitigen Rezeption wollen wir in dieser Lehrveranstaltung im gemeinsamen Dialog nachspüren, indem wir die Entwicklung des Mediums in verschiedenen zeithistorischen Kontexten nachverfolgen, eine Vielzahl an Comics mit antiken Themen in Auszügen betrachten und unter Zuhilfenahme verschiedener Interpretationsansätze in einen Dialog mit antiker Literatur und Kultur bringen.

spring/summer semester 2024 | | Ruhr University Bochum | Seminar für Klassische Philologie | BA/BSc + MA/MSc | | Anmeldung über eCampus | 24/04/2024 | Prof. Dr. Manuel Baumbach | Omnia vincit amor – „Die Liebe bezwingt alles“ und das seit den Anfängen der antiken Literatur. Ihre umfassende Macht verkörpert die kleine geflügelte Gestalt des Eros bzw. Amor, dessen „bittersüßen“ (Sappho) Pfeile bei den Getroffenen rasende Begierde und unstillbare Schmerzen hervorrufen. Die Liebesdichtung spürt in ganz unterschiedlichen Metren und lyrischen Formen Ursachen und Wirkungen der Liebe nach, beleuchtet Liebesspiele ebenso wie sie von Liebesfreud und Liebesleid erzählt. Und sie ist zeitlos aktuell, denn „der Liebe ist noch niemand entronnen, und keiner wird ihr je entrinnen, solange es Schönheit gibt und Augen, die sehen“ (Longos, Daphnis und Chloe). Die Vorlesung stellt die inhaltliche und formale Vielstimmigkeit der antiken Liebesdichtung an ausgewählten Gedichten (u.a. Sappho, Anakreon, Platon, Asklepiades, Kallimachos, Catull, Properz, Horaz, Tibull, Ovid) vor, analysiert literarische, kulturelle und mythische Bezüge und ordnet die Texte in ihre historischen Entstehungs- und Wirkungskontexte ein. Zudem wird das Nachleben der antiken Liebesdichtung über kreative Rezeptionen ihrer Inhalte und Formen in frühneuzeitlichen und modernen Liebesgedichten vom Minnesang bis zu aktuellen Songtexten betrachtet. Zu allen in der Vorlesung behandelten antiken Texten werden Übersetzungen gegeben. | Deutschkenntnisse | Abschlussklausur | 2 | unbegrenzt | 30 | |

spring/summer semester 2024 | | Ruhr University Bochum | Psychology | MA/MSc | Tuesday, 14:00-16:00, (09.04.2024-16.07.2024), participation via Zoom | | 25/03/2024 | Dr. Khazar Ahmadi | Human life expectancy has increased at a rapid pace over the last century. This longevity is due to improved medical care, healthier lifestyle and technological advancements. However, population aging is a major concern since advancing age is associated with a gradual decline in cognitive capabilities and the level of independence, leading to higher demands for health and social care services. While some elderly individuals maintain their cognitive functioning within the normal range, others experience severe alterations of cognition that may cause dementia.
Dementia is a chronic degenerative condition that affects key mental functions including memory, language, orientation, decision-making and visual recognition. Accumulating evidence suggests that the prevalence of dementia increases exponentially with age and more rapidly in females. This course will provide an overview of ‘normal’ and ‘pathological’ cognitive changes that accompany aging. We will first discuss the neurophysiological changes that normally occur with aging in the brain from a neuroimaging perspective. Subsequently, the underlying mechanisms of several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, fronto-temporal dementia, vascular dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and dementia with Lewy bodies will be addressed. Upon completion of this course, the students will have a better understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of cognitive changes in the late adulthood.
The seminar will be graded.

With the discovery of specialized neural coding schemes in the hippocampus (e.g., place cells, grid cells etc.), the search for common underlying principles that connect cognition, space, and memory was further fueled. In this course, we will read into the literature underlying the key ideas of common representations for space, concepts, and memory. | | Compulsory attendance, Seminar contribution | 3 | 5 | 25 | |
