Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevouml;lkerungsgeographie; Stadt- u. Raumplanung; Note: 2;0; Ruhr-Universitauml;t Bochum (Geographisches Institut); Veranstaltung: Einfuuml;hrung in das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten; 15 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: In fast allen Industrienationen der Erde zeichnet sich seit Jahrzehnten eine zunehmende Alterung der Bevouml;lkerung ab; die aus einer abnehmenden Geburtenzahl und einer steigenden Lebenserwartung resultiert. Ein Indikator hierfuuml;r ist das Medienalter; welches bdquo;dasjenige Alter [ist]; das von je genau der Hauml;lfte der Bevouml;lkerung unter- und uuml;berschritten wird.ldquo; (Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevouml;lkerung (Hrsg.) 1999; S.16) [...] In Tabelle 1 wird das Medienalter von verschiedenen Industrienationen gezeigt; zudem als Vergleichswert von zwei Entwicklungslauml;ndern; deren Medienalterentwicklung vergleichbar mit anderen Entwicklungslauml;ndern ist. Daraus lauml;sst sich eine Entwicklung ersehen; die zu einer immer auml;lter werdenden Bevouml;lkerung fuuml;hrt. Japan sticht aus dieser Statistik durch zwei Punkte hervor. Erstens ist das voraussichtliche Medienalter von 51;7 Jahren im Jahre 2050 im Vergleich zu allen anderen Nationen der Erde sehr hoch und zweitens ist der Anstieg des Medienalters von circa 14 Jahren der grouml;szlig;te aller Industrienationen.Dieser besondere Stellenwert der japanischen Alterstruktur; ist der Grund; warum ich mich fuuml;r das Thema dieser Hausarbeit; bdquo;der demographische Wandel in der japanischen Bevouml;lkerungldquo; entschieden habe. Ich werde versuchen Ursachen; ausgewauml;hlte Auswirkungen und mouml;gliche Louml;sungsversuche des Problems; der stetigen Alterung der Bevouml;lkerung; darzustellen.

Thank You Jane Gerhard!By Mary TWonderfully well written ; informative and thought provoking; Gerhards book brings to life a long period of American feminist awakening; activism and art-upending controversy that played out at great length in the mass media -- an unprecedented site for battles about high culture to engage so many groups. The work of women in communities across the US is carefully and accurately detailed; restoring the social history dimension of The Dinner Party that was present during its making; but faded from the narrative as the high priests and priestesses of art increasingly defined the meaning of the work. Today there are so many ways for artists to work that it is hard to imagine the shock of The Dinner Partys material presence in the 1980s. Gerhard ably restores the shock and awe engendered by The Dinner Party; through her account of the extraordinary efforts of so many women to move it through a long and successful life. It is still stirring up responses two generations after its launch. If you didnt know; the work can be seen at The Brooklyn Museum as the centerpiece of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. The artist; still kicking; will turn 75 next year.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. EXCELLENTBy S. HillThis is a very readable and intelligent book about a very uncommon; creative endeavor hellip; the remarkable coming-together of teams of volunteers to make an iconic work of art. The author; both a scholar and a writer; traces the creative work within the studio; while tracking the political changes in America that provoked the inception of the piece and reacted to its very controversial entry into the culture. The perspective is well informed; lively and balanced.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. GREAT BOOK!By Shirley FeldsteinThis is a wonderful book! Gerhard tells a terrific story-- about the male-dominated art world and about how and why artist Judy Chicago got involved in that world; about the hundreds of women who worked with Chicago to make feminist art; and about the thousands of women who insisted that The Dinner Party mattered. You really wont think about the 1970s and 80s; or about art; or about feminism and popular culture in the same way after reading this. The research is incredible; but Gerhard conveys all that she knows about these subjects with a light touch and a sense of humor. This is definitely a great read for the general reader and is not just for academics and other experts.
