Walter Benjamin und das Erleben in der Kindheit

Die Autorin zeigt anhand der Interpretation des Textstücks „Schmetterlingsjagd“ aus Walter Benjamins „Berliner Kindheit um neunzehnhundert“ welche pädagogischen Einsichten gewonnen werden können. Dabei zeigt sich, dass das Kind einen mimetischen Zugang zum Schmetterling einnimmt, um ihn fangen zu können und ihn für seine Sammlung zu sezieren. D.h. der kindliche Zugang des Sich-Ähnlich-Machens wird von Benjamin dialektisch erinnert: er ist nicht nur ein sanftes Sich-Nähern an die Gegenstände der Welt, sondern unterliegt bereits in der Kindheit einer instrumentellen Verwendung. Erst diese sichert, dass das Kind seinen Platz in der Gesellschaft wird finden können. (DIPF/Autorin)

Increasing prevalence of the marine cladoceran Penilia avirostris (Dana, 1852) in the North Sea

Rising sea surface temperatures in the North Sea have had consequential effects on not only indigenous plankton species, but also on the possibility of successful colonisation of the area by invasive plankton species. Previous studies have noted the introduction and integration into the plankton community of various phytoplankton species, but establishment of zooplankton organisms in the North Sea is less well-documented. Examining continuous plankton recorder (CPR) survey data and zooplankton results from the Helgoland Roads study, the autumn of 1999 witnessed the occurrence of the marine cladoceran Penilia avirostris in large numbers in the North Sea. The rapid appearance of the species corresponded with exceptionally warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Since 1999, the species has become a regular feature of the autumnal zooplankton community of the North Sea. In 2002 and 2003, the species occurred in greater abundance than recorded before. It is suggested that increased autumn SSTs have proved favourable to P. avirostris, with warmer conditions contributing to the success of the species’ resting eggs and aiding colonisation.
