How Soviet scientists and pseudoscientists pursued telepathic research, cybernetic simulations, and mass hyptonism over television to control the minds of citizens. In October 1989, as the Cold War was ending and the Berlin Wall about to crumble, television viewers in the Soviet Union tuned in to the first of a series of unusual broadcasts. "Relax, let your thoughts wander free..." intoned the host, the physician and clinical psychotherapist Anatoly Mikhailovich Kashpirovsky. Moscow's Channel One was attempting mass hypnosis over television, a therapeutic session aimed at reassuring citizens panicked over the ongoing political upheaval-and aimed at taking control of their responses to it. Incredibly enough, this last-ditch effort to rally the citizenry was the culmination of decades of official telepathic research, cybernetic simulations, and coded messages undertaken to reinforce ideological conformity. In Homo Sovieticus, the art and media scholar Wladimir Velminski explores these scientific and pseudoscientific efforts at mind control. In a fascinating series of anecdotes, Velminski describes such phenomena as the conflation of mental energy and electromagnetism; the investigation of aura fields through the "Aurathron"; a laboratory that practiced mind control methods on dogs; and attempts to calibrate the thought processes of laborers. "Scientific" diagrams from the period accompany the text. In all of the experimental methods for implanting thoughts into a brain, Velminski finds political and metaphorical contaminations. These apparently technological experiments in telepathy and telekinesis were deployed for purely political purposes.

Die Forschung zu und uber Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) verweist oft darauf, dass das Entstehen und Etablieren neuer Zeichenpraktiken zum dominierenden Legitimationsmuster der ubersichtlichen Mathematik in der Zeit der Aufklarung wird. Bei genauerem Hinsehen fallt jedoch auf, dass die konkreten Formen der Erscheinung und Durchsetzung dieser Praktiken mit ihren symbolischen Dimensionen uber Jahrzehnte kaum ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit geruckt wurden. Gerade diesen Formen der Wissensentfaltung und -vermittlung versuchen die hier versammelten Aufsatze eine zentrale Position zukommen zu lassen. Denn im Falle Eulers beschrankt sich die Problematik solcher Erscheinungen nicht auf das mathematische Abstrahieren der zu losenden Aufgaben, sind diese doch mit den graphischen Abstrahierungen vernetzt, deren Erscheinungskriterien untersucht werden. Die DVD enthalt den 29minutigen Dokumentarfilm von Wladimir Velminski "Leonhard Euler. Im Paradies der Gelehrten," der Eulers Leben anhand seiner Schaffensorte, seines wissenschaftlichen Instrumentariums und seiner Schriften nachzeichnet."
