Whether Old Masters or young Swiss art, whether printed or drawn: with holdings of more than 160,000 works on paper, the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich, the famous university’s collection of prints and drawings, is one of the largest and finest of its kind in Switzerland and internationally. Albrecht Dürer, Maria Sibylla Merian, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Pablo Picasso are represented alongside contemporary greats such as Louise Bourgeois, Miriam Cahn, Fischli/Weiss, Urs Lüthi, and Shirana Shahbazi. Founded in 1867 as a classical academic study collection, the archive serves today as a focal point for scholars and art-lovers alike, and as the means for exchange between the university and the public.This lavishly illustrated book takes readers on a fascinating journey across six centuries of art history, featuring some 300 of the collection’s highlights. An introductory essay on the history and evolution of the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich and brief texts on 40 selected works accompany the illustrations. The volume is rounded off by personal statements by contemporary artists and researchers from various disciplines, who testify to and comment on the significance and topicality of the collection’s holdings.

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Swansea University (Department of English Language and Literature), course: Uncanny Places: Gender and the Fantastic, language: English, abstract: Doubling is the "e;appearance of persons who have to be regarded as identical because they look alike"e; (Freud, 2003: 14) and, according to Freud, this can create an uncanny effect because "e;we are faced with the reality of something that we have until now considered imaginary"e; (Freud, 2003: 150). However, the trope of the double has far more potential than just sending shivers down our spines; its appearance might indeed raise, and confront us with, important questions concerning our own identity and subjectivity. I would like to exemplify this by comparing the importance of doppelganger figures in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop in relation to gender identity and would like to investigate, in particular, how the trope of the double/phantom might call into question gender role expectations, shed light on their constructedness, and ultimately play an important role in overcoming social and sexual limitations.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: 1,7, Swansea University (College of Law), course: Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice, language: English, abstract: When it comes to sentencing offenders, the general public is quick to demand the highest possible sentencing available, and tends to focus on retaliation and public security rather than resettlement. Prison sentences are seen as the default solution for all kinds of offenders, and prison is often considered a place which best addresses the needs of both offenders and the general population. Yet, prisons are overcrowded, expensive and proven to produce high reoffending rates - and they are definitely not the best option everyone. Alternative models, such as community sentences, on the other hand, have a reputation of being too 'soft' on criminals, i.e. not meeting the public's expectations in terms of punitiveness, and its effectiveness is often doubted. Rather than interpreting 'soft on crime' in the sense of public perception, I will relate this to its effectiveness in terms of reoffending rates. In the following I would thus like to analyse in how far a decarcerative policy in respect of female offenders might help address the special needs of female offenders better and, thus, help stop them from reoffending. I will first focus on them make-up of the women's prison population, then turn to the situation of women in prison in order to tie this in with reoffending rates, and finally point out some ways to improve the current situation.
