Sommario/riassunto

Female characters assumed increasing prominence in the narrative of 19th and early 20th century opera. This book shines a light on the singers who created and inhabited these roles, the flesh-and-blood women who embodied these fabled doomed women onstage before an audience.

Sommario/riassunto

Nachdem das deutschsprachige Antikendrama im 19. Jahrhundert nur eine untergeordnete Bedeutung besaß, kommt es nach 1890 unter dem Eindruck von Friedrich Nietzsches Geburt der Tragödie erneut zu einer intensive Beschäftigung mit Themen und Figurationen der griechischen Antike. Die vorliegende Studie unterzieht Antikendramen von Hofmannsthal, Hauptmann, Werfel, Pannwitz, Jahnn und Brecht einer struktur- und gattungsbezogenen Analyse, um die Verschiebungen des den Texten zugrundeliegenden Mythosverstandnisses im Kontext von Werk und Epoche zu spezifizieren.  Der Versuch, mit den Mitteln des



Dramas in den Bereich des Mythischen vorzudringen, führt letztendlich zur szenischen Restitution archaischer Praktiken wie Opferritual und kollektives Entgrenzungserlebnis. Damit ergibt sich die Schwierigkeit, „das Zerbrechen des Individuums und sein Einswerden mit dem Ursein" (Nietzsche) mit den Mitteln des Theaters vorzufuhren, mit anderen Worten: das Nichtinszenierbare zu inszenieren.

Sommario/riassunto

When most people think of policies designed to help the poor, welfare is the first program that comes to mind. Traditionally welfare has



served individuals who do not work-hence much of the stigma that some attach to the program. An equally important strand of American social policy, however, is meant to support low-wage workers and their families. In Boosting Paychecks, Daniel Gitterman illuminates this often neglected part of the American safety net.Gitterman focuses on two sets of policy instruments that have been used to aid the working poor since the early twentieth century: the federal

Sommario/riassunto

This volume on “Advances in Analysis and Design of Deep Foundations” contains 22 technical papers which cover various aspects of analysis and design of deep foundations based on full-scale field testing, numerical modeling, and analytical solutions. The technical papers are 8-10 pages long that present the results and findings from research as well as practical-oriented studies on deep foundations that are of interest to civil/geotechnical engineering community. The topics cover a wide spectrum of applications that include evaluation of the axial and lateral capacity of piles, pile group effects, evaluation of the increase in pile capacity with time (or pile setup), influence of excavation on pile capacity, study the behavior of pile raft caisson foundations, evaluate the bearing capacity and settlement of piles from cone penetration tests, etc. This volume is part of the proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.
