A diferença como revelação na obra de Egon Schiele e Robert Musil

This essay is an attempt to show the different ways in which Deleuze’s philosophy can help us to interpret art. The main ideas or philosophical standpoints I use to analyze the paintings of Egon Schiele and Robert Musil’s novel The Confusions of Young Törless are elaborated in the book he wrote with Felix Guattari A Thousend Plateaus. In the end, however, the very interpretation of these works of art should shed a new light on the understanding of Deleuze’s thought.

Benthic foraminifera in the Tasman Sea, Emerald Basin and Challenger Plateau

Im Rahmen des TASQWA-Projektes (Quarternary Variability of Water Masses in the Southern Tasman Sea and the Southern Ocean) wurde eine erstmalige quantitative und taxonomische Bestandsaufnahme der rezenten, benthischen Tiefseeforaminiferen der Korngrößenfraktion > 250 µm in 27 Sedimentoberflächenproben aus dem austral-antarktischen Gebiet durchgeführt. Es konnten 137 Arten bestimmt werden, wobei aber keine Art dominante Anteile in den Proben erreichte. Über benthische Tiefseeforaminiferen im untersuchten Gebiet existiert kaum Literatur. Es gibt zwar aus dem 19. Jhrd. sehr gut dokumentierte Foraminiferen in diesem Bereich, diese decken aber längst nicht alle gefundenen Exemplare ab. Erst um die Jahrtausendwende beschäftigten sich Autoren wieder intensiver mit den australischen und neuseeländischen, benthischen Foraminiferen. Aber auch sie drangen nicht bis in die Tiefsee vor, sondern blieben vorwiegend im Schelfbereich. Aufgrund dieser spärlichen Literatur ist jede einzelne Art ausführlich mit Synonymieliste und Abbildung dokumentiert worden. Die PAST-Analyse generierte mit den 137 Arten und den 27 Stationen sechs Faunenvergesellschaftungen, die überwiegend bathymetrisch zoniert sind. Ab 562 m beginnt am Campbell Plateau in der Hochproduktionszone die Bulimina-Vergesellschaftung. Diese Vergesellschaftung zeichnet sich durch die höchste Individuenzahl aus. Ab 959 m findet sich die Rhizammina-Vergesellschaftung, die im Untersuchungsgebiet am weitesten verbreitet ist. Die weniger oft anzutreffende Cibicides-Vergesellschaftung läßt sich ab 1660 m Tiefe finden. Nur in einer einzigen Probe an der Tasmanschwelle in 2146 m Tiefe, tritt die Reophax-Vergesellschaftung auf, in der die Textulariina überwiegen. Die weniger oft anzutreffende Ehrenbergina-Vergesellschaftung läßt sich ab 1841 m finden. In dieser Vergesellschaftung, in der die Artenanzahl fast an das Niveau der Hochproduktionszone heranreicht, halten sich Rotaliina und Textulariina die Waage. Im Emerald Becken ab 3909 m Tiefe beginnt die Jaculella- Vergesellschaftung. Diese liegt in einem echten Hungergebiet und besteht hauptsächlich aus Textulariina. Im gesamten Untersuchungsgebiet lassen sich durch die Probenauswertung vier unterschiedliche Lebensräume (Challenger Plateau, Campbell Plateau, Emerald Becken und Tasmanschwelle) ausmachen. Da jedoch nur zwei Sedimentoberflächenproben am Challenger Plateau genommen wurden, konnte dieser Bereich nur eingeschränkt mit den anderen drei Bereichen verglichen werden. Die Foraminiferengemeinschaften des Challenger Plateaus und der Tasmanschwelle können jedoch im oberen Bereich der Wassersäule auch nur eingeschränkt miteinander verglichen werden, da man an der Tasmanschwelle Sedimentoberflächenproben erst ab 1634 m genommen hat und am Campbell Plateau Proben ab 562 m vorhanden sind. Die oberen Bereiche (ab 562 m bis ca. 1300 m) des Campbell Plateaus sind Hochproduktionsbereiche, die die höchsten Individuenzahlen pro 10 cm**3 Sediment und die höchste Artenvielfalt aufweisen. Am Südwesthang des Campbell Plateaus läßt sich eine Abfolge der verschiedenen Foraminiferenvergesellschaftungen bis hinunter in das Emerald Becken nachweisen. An der Tasmanschwelle selbst läßt sich keine ausgeprägte Hochproduktionszone erkennen. Generell gibt es hier weniger Arten und weniger Individuen pro 10 cm**3 Sediment als am Cambell Plateau. Das Emerald Becken, als tiefster Bereich des Untersuchungsgebietes und als echtes Hungergebiet, nimmt eine Sonderrolle ein.

(Table 2) Radiocarbon ages on Arctic box and multicores

Paleo-sea-ice history in the Arctic Ocean was reconstructed using the sea-ice dwelling ostracode Acetabulastoma arcticum from late Quaternary sediments from the Mendeleyev, Lomonosov, and Gakkel Ridges, the Morris Jesup Rise and the Yermak Plateau. Results suggest intermittently high levels of perennial sea ice in the central Arctic Ocean during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 (25-45 ka), minimal sea ice during the last deglacial (16-11 ka) and early Holocene thermal maximum (11-5 ka) and increasing sea ice during the mid-to-late Holocene (5-0 ka). Sediment core records from the Iceland and Rockall Plateaus show that perennial sea ice existed in these regions only during glacial intervals MIS 2, 4, and 6. These results show that sea ice exhibits complex temporal and spatial variability during different climatic regimes and that the development of modern perennial sea ice may be a relatively recent phenomenon.

Middle Campanian-lowermost Maastrichtian nannofossils and foraminifers of the northwestern Australian margin

The middle-late Campanian was marked by an increase in the bioprovinciality of calcareous microfossil assemblages into distinct Tethyan, Transitional, and Austral Provinces that persisted to the end of the Maastrichtian. The northwestern Australian margin belonged to the Transitional Province and the absence of key Tethyan marker species such as Radotruncana calcarata and Gansserina gansseri has led petroleum companies operating in the area to use the locally developed KCCM integrated calcareous microfossil zonation scheme. The KCCM zonation is a composite scheme comprising calcareous nannofossil (KCN), planktonic foraminiferal (KPF) and benthonic foraminiferal (KBF) zones. This paper presents the definitions and revisions of Zones KCCM8-19, from the highest occurrence (HO) of Aspidolithus parcus constrictus to the lowest occurrence (LO) of Ceratolithoides aculeus, and builds on our previous early-late Maastrichtian study. The presence of a middle-upper Campanian disconformity is confirmed by microfossil evidence from the Vulcan Sub-basin, Exmouth and Wombat plateaus, and the Southern Carnarvon Platform. In the Vulcan Sub-basin and on the Exmouth Plateau (ODP Hole 762C) the hiatus extends from slightly above the LO of common Rugoglobigerina rugosa to above the LO of Quadrum gothicum. On the Wombat Plateau (ODP Hole 761B) it spans from above the LO of Heterohelix semicostata to above the LO of Quadrum gothicum; and in the Southern Carnarvon Platform the disconformity has its longest duration from above the HO of Heterohelix semicostata to above the LO of Quadrum sissinghii. A significant revision of the events which define Zones KCCM18 and 19 was necessary owing to the observation that the LO of Ceratolithoides aculeus occurs below the HOs of Archaeoglobigerina cretacea and Stensioeina granulata incondita and the LO of common Rugoglobigerina rugosa. In the original zonation these events were considered to be coincident.
