First emerging at the beginning of the twentieth century, architectural reconstruction has increasingly become an instrument to visually revive a long bygone past. This book deals with the phenomenon of meticulous reconstruction in architecture. It argues that the politics of reconstruction go far beyond aesthetic considerations. Taking architecture as a major source of history and regional identity, the impact of large-scale reconstruction is deeply intertwined with political and social factors. Furthermore, memories and associations correlated with lost buildings of a bygone era are heavily influenced by their re-appearance, something which often contradicts historical events. Reconstruction has become an established way of building and dealing with the past, yet so far, there is no comprehensive scientific study on it. By bringing together eight case studies from Eastern Europe, France, Spain, China, Japan, Israel and Brazil, it provides valuable insights into this topic. The chapters analyse the political background of the reconstructions and identify the protagonists. In doing so, this volume adds to our understanding of the impact of reconstruction to memory and oblivion, as well as the critical power of reconstruction regarding contemporary architecture and urbanism.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Multimedia, Internet, neue Technologien, Note: 1,0, Technische Universitat Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Um die Problematik der Spracherkennung besser zu u berblicken und ihre Grundlagen zu verstehen, wird die vorliegende Arbeit einen U berblick u ber die bisherige Entwicklung der Spracherkennung, deren Anwendungsgebiete und den derzeitigen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Forschung liefern. Dabei werden die theoretischen Grundlagen erla utert und die Leistungsfa higkeit aktueller Spracherkennungssysteme betrachtet. Ausserdem soll ein Blick auf sich gegenwa rtig in der Entwicklung befindliche Systeme geworfen werden. Im Interesse hoher Aktualita t wird sich die Arbeit versta rkt auf Onlinequellen berufen

Historische Bauwerke erlauben uns Einsichten in das Wesen an sich bereits verfluchtigter, auf andere Weise nicht mehr erfahrbarer Zeitabschnitte. Doch wie 'authentisch' sind diese Relikte und was meint diese Frage eigentlich? Anhand der Betrachtung dieses hochaktuellen Begriffs - Authentizitat - zeigt das Buch auf, wie stark sich die Werke der Vergangenheit und damit auch unsere Erkenntnisse uber sie verandern und wie unstet unsere Sprache ist, mit der wir uns daruber verstandigen. Schillernde Unscharfe verknupft spannende philosophische Gedanken mit konkreten Beobachtungen und entwirft einen neuen Blick auf unser Verstandnis von Vergangenheit. Detaillierte Fallstudien revidieren gangige Vorstellungen bezuglich der Wahrheit und Echtheit unseres kulturellen Erbes.
