2:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. Discussion: "The Use of Information systems - a conflict of culture?", Veranstaltungsraum Universitätsbibliothek, Professor Rainer Thome
Every user of information systems has individual imaginations of an appropriate interface. But today all users even members of different cultures are attached to the same procedures while interacting with other persons and institutions.
This is why we should have more flexible information applications with better regard to the users including their cultural conventions.
15:45 p.m. The language of Bollywood, Dr. Rainer Lotz, Veranstaltungsraum Universitätsbibliothek
Bollywood productions today are recognised for generating and transmitting contemporary popular culture in India. By their style and language the films mix various cultural traditions. Thereby, they project ideas and emotions of a pan Indian community which in view of the existing diversity and geographical expansion are not readily perceived.
The presentation might also invite some reflections of the linguistic situation in Europe. It will be illustrated by samples from movies and extracts from interviews with Indian experts, incl. the late Professor Halemane who should have attended the Euro-Indian Week, but sadly died on 8th of June 2011.
