    Description: Japan is the only country in the world where women writers laid the foundations of classical literature. The Kagero Diary commands our attention as the first extant work of that rich and brilliant tradition. The author, known to posterity as Michitsuna’s Mother, a member of the middle-ranking aristocracy of the Heian period (794–1185), wrote an account of 20 years of her life (from 954–74), and this autobiographical text now gives readers access to a woman’s experience of a thousand years ago. The diary centers on the author’s relationship with her husband, Fujiwara Kaneie, her kinsman from a more powerful and prestigious branch of the family than her own. Their marriage ended in divorce, and one of the author’s intentions seems to have been to write an anti-romance, one that could be subtitled, “I married the prince but we did not live happily ever after.” Yet, particularly in the first part of the diary, Michitsuna’s Mother is drawn to record those events and moments when the marriage did live up to a romantic ideal fostered by the Japanese tradition of love poetry. At the same time, she also seems to seek the freedom to live and write outside the romance myth and without a husband. Since the author was by inclination and talent a poet and lived in a time when poetry was a part of everyday social intercourse, her account of her life is shaped by a lyrical consciousness. The poems she records are crystalline moments of awareness that vividly recall the past. This new translation of the Kagero Diary conveys the long, fluid sentences, the complex polyphony of voices, and the floating temporality of the original. It also pays careful attention to the poems of the text, rendering as much as possible their complex imagery and open-ended quality. The translation is accompanied by running notes on facing pages and an introduction that places the work within the context of contemporary discussions regarding feminist literature and the genre of autobiography and provides detailed historical information and a description of the stylistic qualities of the text.

    Description: Yosano Akiko (1878–1942) has long been recognized as one of the most important literary figures of prewar Japan. Her renown derives principally from the passion of her early poetry and from her contributions to 20th-century debates about women. This emphasis obscures a major part of her career, which was devoted to work on the Japanese classics and, in particular, the great Heian period text The Tale of Genji. Akiko herself felt that Genji was the bedrock upon which her entire literary career was built, and her bibliography shows a steadily increasing amount of time devoted to projects related to the tale. This study traces for the first time the full range of Akiko’s involvement with The Tale of Genji. The Tale of Genji provided Akiko with her conception of herself as a writer and inspired many of her most significant literary projects. She, in turn, refurbished the tale as a modern novel, pioneered some of the most promising avenues of modern academic research on Genji, and, to a great extent, gave the text the prominence it now enjoys as a translated classic. Through Akiko’s work Genji became, in fact as well as in name, an exemplum of that most modern of literary genres, the novel. In delineating this important aspect of Akiko’s life and her bibliography, this study aims to show that facile descriptions of Akiko as a “poetess of passion” or “new woman” will no longer suffice.

    Description: Historical agreed minimum discharges of river Elbe at the czech-german border profile Hřensko/Schöna Discharges of the river Elbe at the border profile between the Czech Republic and Germany at Hřensko/ Schöna play an essential role for the suitability of the German river section downstream for shipping. A cascade of reservoirs upstream the border profile was mainly built between 1950 and 1964. Since then a significant supplemental low water management at the boarder profile is possible. Although the low wa¬ter control at the German-Czech boarder profile is currently managed by a network of German and Czech institutions the legal basis of this management regime is currently not fully understood. In particular, the question raised weather current management targets for low water supplement can be seen based on still valid German-Czech agreements between the former states German Democratic Republic and Czech Slovakian Socialistic Republic. This report summarizes the chronological follow up of the construction of the Czech reservoir system and the related agreements between the German and Czech site.The authors have assembled the development of the effectively agreed minimum discharges at the border profile ČSSR/GDR at Hřensko/Schöna. The available joint coordination statements between ČSSR and GDR during the period April 1983 and May 1988 were reviewed and compared to the recorded discharges. The capacity for low water supplements at Hřensko/Schöna increased since 1900 from 143,58 Mil. m³ to 2 566,24 Mil. m³ in 2010. The greatest parts of the total storage capacity are located in the Vltava and in the Ohře river basin with storage capacities of 1 894,03 Mil. m³ and 404,35 Mil. m³, respectively. The Vltava cascade is currently managed in a way that a minimum discharge is guaranteed of about 40,0 m³/s at barrage Vrané. This compares to a natural discharge situation with minimum flows between 12,0 to 15,0 m³/s. The barrage system in the Ohře river system can currently ensure minimum discharges of about 8,00 m³/s compared with natural discharges between 1,50 and 2,00 m³/s. The boarder profile at Hřensko/ Schöna is directly affected by the reservoir control in Vltava and Ohře. The GDR made several efforts to agree with the ČSSR on minimum discharge levels for the river Elbe at the border profile at Hřensko/Schöna. After years of negotiations minimum monthly medial discharges (Min MQ month) were defined for a hydrological year starting from November until October. However, these monthly medial values still allowed for shortfalls at the daily scale. Based on the monthly medial values two coordination arrangements were concluded between the ČSSR and the GDR about the supply of minimum discharge at their joint border profile at Hřensko/Schöna. The first started in April, 1983 and was valid till 1990. The agreement was updated and extended in May, 1988 till 2000. The lastly agreed monthly minimum values range between 86,8 m³/s in August and 185,2 m³/s in April. Although an agreement about these values exists, it never had a legally binding character. However, these values are still used as orientation for the control of Czech reservoirs in practise. In the past, the agreed minimum discharges felled only once below the limit. In July 1964, the observed monthly discharge was 89,1 m³/s which is 7.1 m³/s short of the agreed value of 96,2 m³/s. Climate change might lead to a more frequent short fall of the once agreed minimum values. Considering this fact and the informal nature of the current target values for control a new formal framework for the minimum flow regime at the German-Czech boarder might be in the interest of the German water users downstream.

    Description: Die Umweltkrisen unserer Zeit lassen sich nur bewältigen, wenn wir die Art und Weise verändern, wie wir leben – also wie wir wohnen, konsumieren, uns fortbewegen und ernähren. Es ist die Aufgabe der Politik, durch entsprechende Weichenstellungen umweltfreundliches Verhalten zu erleichtern, anzureizen und auch einzufordern. In diesem Sondergutachten zeigt der SRU, wie dies gelingen kann.

    Description: Eine intakte Umwelt ist eine zentrale Voraussetzung für die menschliche Gesundheit. Damit alle Menschen gut und gesund leben können, sollte die Gesundheitsdimension des Umweltschutzes viel stärker als bislang in die relevanten Politikfelder integriert werden. Der SRU analysiert in diesem Sondergutachten, was dafür notwendig ist. Umweltprobleme, wie zum Beispiel Feinstaub, die Ausbreitung von Antibiotikaresistenzen und die Belastung mit per- und polyfluorierten Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS), sind unzureichend gelöst. Neue Herausforderungen, etwa durch den Klimawandel, kommen hinzu. Gleichzeitig sind sozial benachteiligte Menschen aufgrund ihrer Lebensumwelt oft überdurchschnittlichen Umweltbelastungen ausgesetzt. Manche dieser Probleme sind seit vielen Jahren bekannt, die Politik sollte sie nun konsequent angehen. Zudem wird oft unterschätzt, wie wichtig die Natur für Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden ist. Sie hilft unter anderem dabei, Stress abzubauen, motiviert zur Bewegung und stärkt wahrscheinlich auch das Immunsystem. Um all diese Funktionen zu erhalten, müssen wir sie besser schützen und ihr mehr Raum geben. Die multiplen Umweltkrisen führen zu grundlegend neuen systemischen Anforderungen an Politik und Gesellschaft und machen tiefgreifende Veränderungen erforderlich. Bei den anstehenden Transformationen, beispielsweise der Verkehrs-, Energie-, Agrar- und Ernährungssysteme, sowie den Maßnahmen zur Klimaanpassung ist es wichtig, die Gesundheitsdimensionen konsequent mitzudenken. Nur wenn Bund, Länder und Kommunen Umwelt und Gesundheit entschlossen zusammendenken, können gesunde Lebensbedingungen für alle geschaffen werden. In diesem Sondergutachten gibt der SRU Empfehlungen, wie dies gelingen kann. Dabei legt er Schwerpunkte unter anderem auf die Lebensverhältnisse in der Stadt, den nachhaltigen Umgang mit Chemikalien und eine stärkere Integration von umweltbezogenen Gesundheitsbelangen in andere Politikfelder.

    Description: Im Rahmen einer Verbändeanhörung hat der SRU die vorgeschlagene Novelle des Klimaschutzgesetzes vom 14.06.2023 kommentiert. Das Klimaschutzgesetz ist von überragender Bedeutung für die Einhaltung der deutschen Klimaverpflichtungen, wird jedoch durch die Novelle an entscheidenden Punkten abgeschwächt. Der Rat kritisiert die Aufhebung der Sektorziele, die zu unklaren Verantwortlichkeiten und damit zu unproduktiven Debatten über die Beiträge der Sektoren führen würde. Dies gilt insbesondere, da weiterhin ein Instrument zur wirksamen Begrenzung aller relevanten Emissionen fehlt. Kritikwürdig ist der veränderte Mechanismus in Bezug auf Sofortprogramme, v. a. dass Maßnahmenprogramme allein anhand von Prognosen statt Vergangenheitsdaten ausgelöst werden, deren Erhebung nicht effektiv gelöst ist. Insgesamt würde die Novelle die Umsetzungslücke vergrößern und dringend notwendige Maßnahmen verzögern. Der SRU wiederholt seine Empfehlung, ein CO2-Budget als transparentes Messinstrument der Klimapolitik einzuführen.
