Traina on Oct 14, the "In Dialogue with the United States" series continues with a hybrid (on-site and virtual) guest lecture by American Studies scholar Heinz Tschachler. His guest lecture will take place as a part of the course "The Modern American Presidency: From Franklin D. Roosevelt to the 2020 Race" (Department of History).Talk synopsis:Political fatherhood goes back a long way, to the pater patriae of Roman antiquity, Martin Luther's des Landes Vater, the English kings, and George Washington, who'd become the "Father of His Country" already during his lifetime. Since then, presidents have stood as paternal figureheads for America, with the presidency itself a gendered narrative as well as a narrative of gender. While a woman leading the United States is not, therefore, simply a matter of time, on November 3, Americans will once again vote for a "Daddy." But which "daddy"? A "strict father" like Donald Trump, or a "nurturant parent" like Joe Biden? Either way, as of January 20, 2021, there'll be (as far as anyone can tell at this point) another champion who will carry that lance and that sword into the field and fight for his adopted "children."Speaker bio:Heinz Tschachler is a former professor of English and American Studies at Alpen-Adria-Universität in Klagenfurt. He is the author of many books, including The Monetary Imagination of Edgar Allan Poe and, most recently, George Washington on Coins and Currency and George Washington and Political Fatherhood. His book on Visions of Masculinity in the Writings of Washington Irving will be published in 2021.In accordance with AAU’s Covid-19 regulations, this guest lecture will be carried out in a hybrid from, i.e., there are a few limited seats available in HS 3 for interested listeners who would like to join us on-site, and the lecture will also be accessible via Zoom.Vortragende(r)Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Heinz Tschachler (American Studies, University of Klagenfurt)KontaktDr. Stefan Rabitsch (stefan.rabitsch@aau.at) Anmeldepflichtig!Whether you’d like to join in person or virtually, you are asked to register by Monday, Nov 2, 8 pm at stefan.rabitsch@aau.at.

We explore theframework’s basic functionalities by creating a series of short (but cool!)animations, and learn about further references.Manim is a Python framework for visualizing mathematical concepts andideas in animated videos. Originally created by Grant “3Blue1Brown”Sanderson, whose Manim-produced YouTube videos get millions of clicksand are a driving force contributing to the popularization of Mathematics, his code base also has some peculiarities that are common for largeone-person projects, e.g., little to no documentation, and an unstable interface. To combat these shortcomings, a small community has formed thatis actively maintaining, cleaning and continuously improving Manim; thespeaker is one of the core developers of manim-community.Vortragende(r)Benjamin Hackl Kontaktsenka haznadar (senka.haznadar@aau.at)

Die Frontstellung gegen ein feindliches Virus istkein Naturereignis, das uns ereilt, sondern Resultat einer bestimmten Bearbeitungsweise.In unserem Beitrag zeigen wir, welche strukturellen Voreinstellungendazu geführt haben, dass Gesundheit im Zuge der Pandemieunter den Stichworten von Preparedness und Risikopolitik vor allem als nationalesSicherheitsproblem bearbeitet wird. Mit der kritischen Sozialepidemiologieverstehen wir Gesundheit als soziale Frage. Gegen eine isolierteSicht auf Krankheitserreger werden hier die sozialen Determinanten in denVordergrund gestellt, die entscheidende Bedingungen für die Anfälligkeitvon Körpern und Gemeinschaften liefern. Damit öffnen wir den Blick füreine solidarische Politik der Gesundheit, die aus Selbstorganisation erwächstund grundsätzliche Bedingungen für Wohlergehen schafft.Vortragende(r)Vortragende:Iris Dzudzek (Münster) und Henning Füller (Berlin)Kommentar: Judith Miggelbrink (Dresden)Moderation: Matthias Naumann (Klagenfurt)KontaktUniv.-Prof. Dr. Matthias Naumann (Matthias.Naumann@aau.at)
