Published as a small book with the same title, those lectures were widely read, called the attention of scholars from many fields of knowledge and found correspondence in a large part ofthe conceptual grounds of the molecular biology of the second half of the 20th century. Schrödinger s ideas did not lose interest, to the point they were celebrated 50 and 70 years later in scientific meetings also namedWhat Is Life? In the present study we first sought to elucidate the reasons for Schrödinger to have chosen the nature of life as the subject of his lectures. Then we investigated the contemporary reception to the ideas discussed in them. Third we analyzed several or the presentations made by reputed scientists in the 1993 meeting aiming to establish the relevance of Schrödinger s ideas for the development of the life sciences in the course of those 50 years. Finally we emphasize the interest such ideas still arose 20 years later, as reflected in the specialized media and more particularly by J.C.Venter, one of the first to sequence the human genome, in the last What Is Life?lecture, from 2013, this time focusing on the 21st century perspective / As palestras What Is Life?, de 1943, consistiram numa série de especulações de um físico, Erwin Schrödinger, laureado com o Prêmio Nobel, sobre um tema fundamental de uma área que não era a sua: a naturezada vida. Publicadasna forma de um pequeno livro homônimo, tais palestras foram lidas amplamente, chamaram a atenção de estudiosos de diversas áreas e encontraram correspondência, em grande parte, com a base conceitual da biologia molecular da segunda metade do século XX. As ideias de Schrödinger não perderam interesse, sendo celebradas 50 e 70 anos mais tarde em eventos também intitulados WhatIs Life? No presente trabalho procuramos elucidar, primeiro, o que levou Schrödinger a escolher esse tema para suas palestras no Trinity College Dubline as ideias discutidas nelas.A seguir, verificamos o recebimento dado aos conteúdos apresentados pelo físico por seus contemporâneos. Em terceiro lugar, analisamos várias das apresentações realizadas por destacados cientistas no evento de 1993, visando identificar a relevância das ideias de Schrödinger para o desenvolvimento das ciências da vida nesses 50 anos. Finalmente, ressaltamos o interesse que tais ideias conservariam20 anos depois, tal como refletidas na mídia especializada, e mais particularmente, por J.C. Venter, um dos primeiros a sequenciar no genoma humano, na última edição das palestras What Is Life?, de 2013, dessa vez com o subtítulo: A perspectiva do século XXI

The essay is a phenomenological study of Don Berry’s novel Trask (1960), demonstrating that experiential priority is given in the text to what Erwin Straus and Otto Bollnow call presential [präsentisch] space. The investigation analyses the difference between two forms of such space. On the one hand presential space is constituted automatically. This happens for the mountain man through the relentless momentum of long-distance trekking. On the other hand presential space is constituted as a mystical terminus of a tribal quest preceded by years of extreme self- discipline. Although such tribal ‘Searching’ is designed to lead to a sublime space- experience devoid of human agency and control, only agency and control make that happen. The essay proposes that, in the text, this structural contradiction makes traditional-cultural attainment of presential space less subtle than the automatic constitution of presential space that happens effortlessly on long mountain trails, without the consciousness-engineering of shamanistic choreography. By lacking any interest in ‘the Searching,’ and thus not programming himself for mystical enlightenment, the rapturous end of Trask’s half-hearted ‘Searching’ adventure comes across as a miracle rather than as reward for socially approved self-discipline. When mystical clairvoyance in this way finally comes to Trask, without him ever really having sought it, its perfectly gratuitous materialization becomes an extension of presential moments given with equal gratuitousness on the mountain trail. In the last analysis, mystical enlightenment in Trask is not the outcome of any striving but something that emerges effortlessly from sustained walking and from the stillness in which it pauses to renew its momentum.

Before 1933, Erwin Bodky actively participated in musical life in Berlin. When he was a student, the Prussian Government had given him grants in 1920 and 1921 to study with the distinguished composers Richard Strauss and Ferruccio Busoni. His international performing career was launched when, at the last minute, Bodky was asked to replace a pianist for a performance with Wilhelm Furtwängler. When he became a professor at the Staatlich Akademie für Kirchen- und Schulmusik in Charlottenburg in 1926, he immersed himself in early music, performing on harpsichord and clavichord and founding his own collegium musicum. His publications, Der Vortrag alter Klaviermusik (Berlin: Hesse, 1932) and Das Charakterstück (Berlin: Vieweg, 1933), promised a future wealth of scholarship. However, in 1933, Bodky was expelled from his teaching position because he was a Jew. After officials came to seize part of his instrument collection, he and his family fled to Amsterdam, where they were in exile for five years. In 1938, he managed to escape Europe by securing a position at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Bodky would become one of the most important proponents of early music in the United States. Over the last twenty years of his life, he promoted historical instruments, performance practice, and forgotten early music repertoire. His many accomplishments in the United States include the founding of the Music Department at Brandeis University and the Cambridge Society for Early Music, the introduction and promotion of the collegium musicum, and the publication of the treatise The Interpretation of Bach’s Keyboard Works (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1960). This thesis provides the first detailed examination of his influence in the United States. His roles as performer, scholar, and teacher are each explored. Relying upon unpublished archival material, academic records, memoirs, and numerous concert programs in addition to Bodky’s published writings, this study reveals that Bodky had a significant impact on how early music was performed, taught, and received in the United States.

(Anglicky) This diploma thesis conducts a survey of dramatic and theatre work of contemporary German dramatist and director Falk Richter (born 1969) in the context of German political theatre of 20th century, thus primarily Brecht and Piscator tradition. At the same time, the concepts of political and post-dramatic theatre are defined and elaborated. The work points out that the current political function of theatre and its chance to directly influence social reality is understood differently than in the case of both pre-war and post-war epic drama by Erwin Piscator and Bertolt Brecht, or in the documentary drama of the 1960s. The key goal of the thesis is to analyze and interpret chosen Richter's dramatic writings and mainly the project Trust, which was created in collaboration with Dutch choreographer Anouk van Dijk. The project can be perceived as a current form of Richter's poetry, which gradually deviates from the "drama" theatre and inclines to motion drama with dance and performance elements. It is showed how the authors deal with present social and personal issues, which are transformed into theatre expression, motion and dance. At last, the thesis examines in what consists the politics of this project.

During these months Schrödinger created the basis of his quantum theory and wrote his two earlier papers on this subject. They were published in the Annalen der Physik. The present dissertation analyses those two papers, and some of their precedents and immediate consequences. Special attention is given to the influence of the theory of matter waves of the French physicist Louis de Broglie (1892-1987) upon the development of Schrödinger s theory, as well as other works and relevant circumstances that contributed to the creation of wave mechanics. The dissertation also discusses the interpretation given by Schrödinger to his own theory, comparing it to the approach of other physicists of that time / O presente trabalho histórico investiga a fase inicial da construção da mecânica ondulatória formulada pelo físico austríaco Erwin Schrödinger (1887- 1961), dando especial atenção aos trabalhos por ele realizados de dezembro de 1925 até fevereiro de 1926. Nesse período, Schrödinger concebeu as bases de sua teoria quântica e redigiu os dois primeiros artigos sobre o assunto, publicados na revista Annalen der Physik. Esta dissertação analisa esses dois artigos, bem como alguns de seus precedentes e repercussões. É analisada em especial a influência da teoria de ondas de matéria do físico francês Louis de Broglie (1892- 1987) no desenvolvimento da teoria de Schrödinger, bem como outros trabalhos e circunstâncias importantes que contribuíram para a elaboração da mecânica ondulatória. Discute-se também a interpretação que o próprio Schrödinger deu à sua teoria, comparando-a com o enfoque adotado por outros físicos da época
