The »Black Art«: A Revolution in the History of Media Gutenberg’s invention can be characterized as a »media revolution« in technical, political, social, and cultural respect. Ideas from the Renaissance, Humanism, and the Reformation that are still influential today, enduring perceptions of the individual and society, power and leadership, God and the world, new forms of literature and art, basic transformations in communications and media – thanks to Gutenberg our contemporary world is hardly conceivable without these cultural developments. These came about through the invention of printing with movable type, an invention that was elevated to the status of an «ars impressoria», the art of printing.

Hello!
The first Stammtisch of the semester, with a Chinese New Year theme,
started as we slowly gathered around the venue, in which large trays
of food such as fresh vegetable and meat for the steamboat were
already waiting. As more and more gathered around we started to put
the food into the steamboat, chattering and making new friends as we
waited for our food to be cooked. Fresh food cooked in warm, delicious
soup and good conversations were certainly a combination one would not
want to miss.
Next up was the tossing of the Yu Sheng. After we were all gathered
around the table, our vice president, Xin Yi, had the honour of
pouring each ingredient onto the plate, while saying an auspicious
phrase for each ingredient. Then we all crowded around the plate and
began to toss the Yu Sheng as high as we could! (Since that's supposed
to bring more prosperity :D )
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have
come for the event, especially those who have been so kind as to have
stayed back to help us clear up :) :)
Here are some photos from our Chinese New Year Stammtisch last
Thursday. Enjoy and see you next Stammtisch! :)
Best Regards,
Winnie Mina

Fotos aus dem Stammtisch chinesischen Neujahrs
Hello!
Der erster Stammtisch dieses Semester, der das Thema chinesischen
Neujahr hatte, hat begonnen, während wir uns langsam in der
Artskantine versammelt haben. Auf den Tischen waren schon viele Arten
von frische Gemüse und Fleisch da für die Fondue. Dann haben wir das
Gemüse und Fleisch ins Topf gelegt. Wir haben viel geplaudert und neue
Freundschaften geschlossen, während wir auf das Essen gewartet haben.
Frisches zusammengekochtes Essen in warme leckere Brühe. Man wollte
sicherlich nicht verpassen.
Danach kommt die Zeit für Yu Sheng. Nachdem alle rund um den Tisch
gestanden waren, hat unsere Vize-Präsidentin Xin Yi alle Bestandteile
hineingelegt, natürlich mit glückverheißende Ausdrücke. Als wir diese
Bestandteile gemischt haben, haben wir die Essstäbchen hoch in die
Luft gebracht. (Weil man bekommt danach mehr Glück :D )
Wir moechten alle danken, die gekommen sind und besonders die, die uns
beim Aufräumen geholfen haben :) :)
Hier sind einzige Fotos aus dem Stammtisch am letzen Donnerstag. Viel
Spaß und bis nächsten Stammtisch! :)
