Adumbration, Alterity, and the Dislocation of Sacrifice from Space to Image
Michael Lent asks what role art has in colonisation and subsequent dissolution. He proposes a practice informed by the fatal strategies and 'raw' phenomenology of Jean Baudrillard as a challenge to a system of disappearance. Focusing on the otherness of space to prevent its ultimate dissolution, Lent promotes a spatial practice of radical alterity. Examining ideas of disappearance put forth by Baudrillard and Paul Virilio, he utilises art as a means for investigating loss of potentiality and experience through the representation of space, shifting their ideas - originally ascribed to objects - into a new emphasis. This book ultimately attempts to break a cyclical system that causes everything to disappear into representation and equivalency.
Die Zusammenstellung der verschiedenen Bausteine entstand aus Diskussionen in den Einheiten. Ein bekanntes Thema an Hochschulen ist die schlechtere Lehrveranstaltungsbewertung der Grundlagenfächer, die oft als systematische Verzerrung durch Bias-Variablen wie Teilnahmegrund und Themenbeliebtheit bezeichnet wird. Viele Lehrende in diesen Fächern glauben, dass die Bewertungen durch das geringe Interesse und Wissen der Studierenden in Mathematik, Physik und Chemie beeinflusst werden. Allerdings zeigen Evaluationsergebnisse und Vorschläge der Fachschaftsräte für den Lehrpreis, dass es auch Lehrende in Grundlagenfächern gibt, die sehr positiv bewertet werden. Daher wurde die Notwendigkeit erkannt, gemeinsam zu erörtern, wie Studierende erfolgreich an diese Fächer herangeführt werden können. Die Referenten im ersten Baustein berichten aus ihrer Lehre, wobei viele bereits für den Lehrpreis vorgeschlagen wurden oder ihn erhalten haben. Eine Mathematik-Referentin konnte aufgrund eines Wechsels an eine andere Universität nicht teilnehmen. Das Interview soll allgemeine Aspekte ansprechen, um der Frage nach guter Lehre in Grundlagenfächern näherzukommen.
