This project analyzes the result of said activity: viz. text understood as a means of war. That is to say, it does not aim at answering questions regarding Jünger's political stance as it is mostly the case with scholarly literature on the subject matter at hand, but instead, it addresses a lacuna in the relevant scholarship by systematically examining the textual material as a subversive means of action that allows Jünger for the continuation of war. The examination at hand therfore begins with an analysis of Jünger's Kriegstagebuch, in order to fathom the basis on which he will translate, transform, and instrumentalize the "Sprache der Materialschlacht" as a literary means of expression. Subsequently, it turns to the textual strategies that Jünger employs in his literature, which ought to facilitate the initiation of those who did not directly participate in the Great War to the circle of the 'Frontsoldaten.' Following this, the analysis of his Politische Publizistik shows that Jünger is continuously striving for a dynamic modern nationalism that always already aims at protruding beyond the borders of the state. And lastly, an examination of Der Arbeiter will show that Jünger conceptually dissolves those borders, by heralding the planetary era of the worker based on a new concept of language that stems from the CHAPTER I »MICH REIZT DIE WILDE SCHÖNHEIT DER GEFAHR«-Baring the Roots of Ernst Jünger's Aggressive Aesthetic .

All players have to adapt quickly, as technology-cycles get shorter, as entire markets rapidly change, and as new competitors with disruptive business models surface. Such challenges cannot be faced by an isolated player. The issue requires an agile collaboration network of partners from various sectors and interdisciplinary research to create a new ecosystem, thus securing as well as creating jobs. This allows to drastically limit the (financial) risks involved in R&D, it ups the speed of research, and it enhances the quality of the outcome. ARENA2036 is such a platform. It enables partners form industry and research to conjointly develop breakthrough technologies. This paper fathoms ARENA2036 as a way of shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It addresses the basis of cooperative research platforms, the preconditions of joint R&D, and the benefits of this interdisciplinary environment.

Drawing on the cultural-semiological model of intertextuality developed by Renate Lachmann, my analysis of Hermann Broch's novel Die Schlafwandler examines how the incorporation of intertexts enriches and changes the interpretation of a manifest text. I am focusing in particular on Broch's references to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Immanuel Kant in the chapters "Zerfall der Werte" to exemplify how intertextuality operates in this novel. The focus on two specific sources of intertextual references allows me a thorough analysis of the new interpretive dimensions that are created through intertextuality and at the same time the delineation of new perspectives for the further study of intertextuality in relation to Broch's work.
