Christoph Wagner – författare

In this exhaustive book on Hilma af Klint published to date, twenty specialists in Modern Art, Art History, the History of Ideas and Religious Studies use their expertise to explore af Klint s unique artistry. The topics range from early Abstract Art and the impact of Darwin and Goethe s Colour Theory, to the importance of occult religious movements such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy which influenced the early modernists. Some of Hilma af Klint s own diary notes and research are also included.   The book is based on a seminar held in conjunction with the extremely successful exhibition Hilma af Klint A Pioneer of Abstraction in 2013 at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. The book has an epilogue by Daniel Birnbaum. This is a new edition that includes a recent essay by Kurt Almqvist, Hilma af Klint s Secret Teachings, Message and Philosophy , based on previously unpublished material. It investigates parts of Hilma af Klint s story that have not been looked at before: the background of her teachings and philosophy; the developments after her death in 1944 up until the formation of The Hilma af Klint Foundation in 1972; and the only heir to her works: the anthropologist Vice-Admiral Erik af Klint (1901 1981), the Foundation s founder and only donor.

When the State Bauhaus opened in Weimar in 1918, the Swiss artist and art theorist Johannes Itten (1888 – 1967) was one of the first teachers to be appointed by Walter Gropius. With his preliminary course, Itten had a considerable effect on the creative training in the Bauhaus; to this day his insights into the theory of colours set standards in art education and in the field of design. Enquiring mind and lecturer, painter and art teacher – Johannes Itten was a very thoughtful artist personality which was reflected in numerous theoretical texts and artworks covering a wide range of styles. Constantly in dialogue with students and colleagues as well as in a study of other cultures and artistic ideas, Itten created works in which he examined colours, their aura, contrasts and forms. Inspired by Adolf Hölzel, his teacher at the Stuttgart Academy, Itten developed, amongst other things, the famous doctrine of colour types whose significance extends far beyond the realms of art into everyday culture. The acknowledged Itten expert Christoph Wagner introduces the artist with his complex and symbolic work and traces an arc from the revolutionary Bauhaus teacher and founder of various art schools to the art theorist of the theory of colours.

Contains Nearly 100 Pages of New MaterialThe recent financial crisis has shown that credit risk in particular and finance in general remain important fields for the application of mathematical concepts to real-life situations. While continuing to focus on common mathematical approaches to model credit portfolios, Introduction to Credit Risk Modeling, Second Edition presents updates on model developments that have occurred since the publication of the best-selling first edition.New to the Second EditionAn expanded section on techniques for the generation of loss distributionsIntroductory sections on new topics, such as spectral risk measures, an axiomatic approach to capital allocation, and nonhomogeneous Markov chainsUpdated sections on the probability of default, exposure-at-default, loss-given-default, and regulatory capital A new section on multi-period modelsRecent developments in structured creditThe financial crisis illustrated the importance of effectively communicating model outcomes and ensuring that the variation in results is clearly understood by decision makers. The crisis also showed that more modeling and more analysis are superior to only one model. This accessible, self-contained book recommends using a variety of models to shed light on different aspects of the true nature of a credit risk problem, thereby allowing the problem to be viewed from different angles.

Franz Beckenbauer once observed that, in England, «war correspondents get their say whenever their team plays us.» In Crossing the Line?, Christoph Wagner surveys German football rivalry in the second half of the twentieth century as it was played out on the pitch and in the press. The Second World War undoubtedly cast a long shadow, framing the way in which matches were previewed and reported. The contrasting fortunes of the British and West German economies and British anxieties regarding German unification also impacted on sports coverage.An intense Anglo-German international football rivalry was forged against this backdrop. Newspaper readers often turn to the back page first and first impressions are important. Press coverage helped to shape what the English thought of the Germans and what they thought of themselves. Crossing the Line? – which includes an important chapter on the German media – focuses largely on the part played by English newspapers in generating a simplistic sporting commentary heavily dependent on stereotypes before it overreached itself in the mid-1990s and the German popular press began to hit back. As English football pundits often remind their viewers: «You can never underestimate the Germans».

The pictorial turn in the humanities and social sciences has foregrounded the political power of images and the extent to which historical, political, social, and cultural processes and practices are shaped visually. Political iconographies are taken to interpret norms of actions, support ideological formations, and enhance moral concepts. Visual rhetorics are understood as active players in the construction and contestation of the political realm and public space. The twenty-one articles by scholars from Europe and the United States explore the political function and cultural impact of images from the perspectives of Art History, American Studies, Visual Culture Studies, History, and Political Science. The contributions in particular address the complex interplay between agent and addressee in the public space as well as issues of national identity, discourses of inclusion and exclusion, and the designation of political spaces within transnational contexts. The publication is part of the interdisciplinary research initiative “Perceiving and Understanding: Functions, Perception Processes, Forms of Visualizations, Cultural Strategies of Pictures and Texts” at the University of Regensburg.

This volume discusses, from various disciplinary perspectives, the challenges that researchers face when studying the agency of visual media, which has been a central approach since the Iconic Turn of 30 years ago. The editors combine contributions from an international lecture series, showcasing current positions on dealing with the impulses of the Iconic Turn, with others by researchers from the University of Regensburg, where more than 10 years ago the transdisciplinary research cluster "Seeing and Understanding" was founded. The contributions represent a wide range of fields, including art history, philosophy, theology, history, and pedagogy as well as film, dance, religious, and cultural studies.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, Note: 1,0, Technische Universität Darmstadt (Datenverarbeitung in der Konstruktion), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit entwickelt auf Basis bestehender Abläufe eine neuartige Prozesskette für die Prototypenfertigung unter Berücksichtigung von Industrie 4.0 Paradigmen. Zu Beginn werden eine gemeinsame Begriffsgrundlage und Potenziale des Gestaltungsrahmens Industrie 4.0 für den Prototypenbau erarbeitet. Aufbauend auf einer Analyse von Unternehmen des Prototypenbaus und deren Strukturen sowie den zuvor erarbeiteten Grundlagen werden folgend Anforderungen an das Produkt Prototyp und die Prozesskette hergeleitet, definiert und quantifiziert. Die Entwicklung der Prozesskette für die Prototypenfertigung im Gestaltungsrahmen Industrie 4.0 findet daraufhin in einer zuvor ausgewählten Geschäftsprozessmodellierungssprache statt. Die Gedankengänge hinter der Entwicklung werden erläutert, die Besonderheiten der Prozesskette vorgestellt und eine Bewertung anhand der zuvor definierten Anforderungen vorgenommen. Abschließend wird ein Fazit mit Ausblick auf weiteren Forschungsbedarf gezogen.Die Prozesskette demonstriert die Vereinbarkeit von Industrie 4.0 und Prototypenbau. Dabei zeigen die Vernetzung der Produktion mit dem Kunden sowie die virtuelle Produktentstehung und -optimierung das größte Potenzial hinsichtlich ökonomischer und ökologischer Gesichts-punkte. Grenzen treten jedoch bei der Automatisierungsmöglichkeit von Anforderungsanalysen und Konzeptentwicklungen auf. Ebenso wird deutlich, dass sich das volle Potenzial an Effizienz- und Effektivitätssteigerungen nur bei einer Umsetzung von Industrie 4.0-Methoden entlang der gesamten Lieferkette entfaltet.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7 (A-), Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (Institute for Foreign Language Philology), course: Hauptseminar City Cultures, language: English, abstract: When writing and talking about football the first thought is about which side is going to be German champion, European or World champion, which side will win the Champions League or the UEFA-Cup. Often the words go further onto the players, their wages that players earn too much money and much more that is directly linked with the game itself. Seldomly the talk is about such things as media influence and control, the development of the game, its sociological dimension or anything that plays an important role offside the pitch. Only when the clubs are nearly bankrupt or a new ground has to be built pub talk turns away from the game and its facts onto politics.

Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Sport - Sport Sociology, grade: B, University of Leicester (Institute for Sociology), course: MA course for Sociology of Sports, language: English, abstract: AbstractThe increasing insecurity in English society is countered by a resurgence of nostalgia and remembering the old times. This phenomenon can be found in football, too, but it differs from the need for nostalgia that is visible in society. High Street shops like Past Times are hugely successful in selling commodities that remember the English Commonwealth with goods from the countries that once belonged to it. Also, this becomes visible by the many replica items of daily life that are designed in a retro style but contain modern technology such as radios, watches, alarm clocks and furniture. Football fans can purchase replica shirts of their favourite club from the seventies and even earlier. In the field of football, the introduction of the Premier League in England has ultimately changed the face of football. Football was commodified and has become the most successful part of the entertainment industry. In the wake of the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters football fans got active themselves and started to publish football fanzines as a reaction to the general condemnation they had to endure. In these outlets they mostly opposed the view that every football fan is a hooligan. They also used football fanzines as a platform to remember their heroes and glories of eras long gone. For this reason cultures of memory did become a part of football fanzines and did so very vividly.

Christoph Wagner analysiert kleine und mittlere Unternehmen mit extremen Eigenkapitalausstattungen in einem generell schwach eigenkapitalisierten Branchenumfeld. Auf Basis qualitativer Interviews leitet er mithilfe der Grounded Theory Erkenntnisse ab. Insbesondere kann er zeigen, dass die untersuchten Unternehmen ihre Kapitalstruktur nicht bewusst wählen. Auch das Wissen der Gesellschafter zu Finanzierungsthemen hat keinen Einfluss auf die Höhe der Eigenkapitalausstattung.

Christoph Wagner nimmt eine managementethische Analyse von Situationskonstellationen im Kontext der Schaffung, des Erhalts und Abbaus von Arbeitsplätzen vor. Sein metaphysischer, mikroanalytischer Realitätszugang gestattet es, die objektive Polydimensionalität der empirischen Realität in Unternehmen zu erfassen und so der Gefahr unzulässiger Abstrahierungen in Richtung des Economic oder Moral Point of View zu begegnen. Der Autor entwickelt auf dieser Basis ein differenziertes moralökonomisches Analysegerüst für ein betriebswirtschaftlich wie ethisch verantwortetes Arbeitsplatzmanagement.

EINE WUNDERVOLLE REISE IN DIE WELT DER KULINARIKChristoph Wagner (1954-2010) war ein brillanter Gastrosoph, der mit Bildung, Humor und Stil über die Kultur des Genusses und den Genuss als Kultur geschrieben hat. In seinem letzten großen Werk, "Universität der Genüsse", versammelte Christoph Wagner die Summe seiner Erkenntnisse über die Kunst des Kochens und Genießens. EUROPÄISCHE ESSKULTUR IN EINER SPANNENDEN ZUSAMMENSCHAUIn einer eindrucksvollen Zusammenschau zeigt er auf, dass unser Verständnis von Genuss und Geschmack nicht von ungefähr kommt. Im Gegenteil: Wir essen, was wir essen, weil Malerei, Literatur und Musik, Weltpolitik und Geschichte unauslöschliche Genussspuren hinterlassen haben. Nicht selten entpuppt sich guter Geschmack auch als Kind der Marktwirtschaft, und letztlich hat wohl sogar noch der liebe Gott seine Finger mit im Gaumen-Spiel. Immerhin ist er der größte Gourmet unseres Universums.ALLES, WAS MAN ÜBER GENUSS UND GUTEN GESCHMACK WISSEN MUSSPhilosophisch-humorvoll begibt er sich auf die Suche nach dem Geschmack Gottes und kommt dabei nicht an melancholischen Genießern, dicken Engeln, Gentechnik und dem Schlaraffenland vorbei. Zugleich ist dieses Meisterwerk der Gastrosophie auch ein unerlässliches Handbuch für jeden, der sich der Kunst des Kochens verschrieben hat: eine inspirierende Reise in die Welt des guten Geschmacks - herausgegeben von Christoph Wagners langjähriger Wegbegleiterin und Co-Autorin Renate Wagner-Wittula."Alles, was man über das Wesen von Genuss und Geschmack wissen muss. Ein fulminantes Werk! Und selbst die Geschichten sind bei Wagner zum Verschlingen - weil er nämlich ein äußerst unterhaltsamer und kluger Schreiber ist!"
