Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit bilden feministische filmtheoretische Ansätze, insbesondere Laura Mulveys Konzept des Male Gaze, ergänzt durch Theorien zu Female Agency, Role Model Theory, medienpsychologische Wirkungsforschung sowie ökofeministische Perspektiven. Im analytischen Teil werden ausgewählte Disney-Prinzessinnen aus unterschiedlichen Produktionsphasen, Schneewittchen (1937), Ariel (1989) und Moana (2016), anhand zentraler Filmszenen vergleichend untersucht. Dabei stehen Handlungsmacht, Naturbezug, narrative Funktion und Vorbildwirkung im Fokus. Die Analyse zeigt, dass sich weibliche Figuren zwar zunehmend von passiven Rollenbildern lösen, zugleich jedoch neue Spannungsfelder entstehen, etwa durch romantische Erzählmuster oder eine Tendenz zur Hyperindividualisierung. Auf Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse wird mit der Figur Elara ein theoretisches Modell einer zeitgemäßen weiblichen Heldin entwickelt. Elara fungiert als Brückenfigur zwischen Natur und Gesellschaft und verkörpert Handlungsmacht durch Verantwortung, Reflexion und Ambivalenz statt durch Überlegenheit oder Rettungsnarrative. Die Figur wird sowohl narrativ als auch visuell konzipiert und dient als gestalterische Umsetzung der theoretischen Ergebnisse.}}, author = {{Schlewing, Nina}}, keywords = {{Disney-Prinzessinnen, Female Agency, Male Gaze, Rollenbilder im Animationsfilm, Role Model Theory, Ökofeminismus, Figurenanalyse, Zeitgemäße Heldinnen, Charakterdesign}}, pages = {{61}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Zwischen Natur, Tradition und Selbstbestimmung: Von Disney-Prinzessinnen zu neuen weiblichen Role Models - eine Analyse am Beispiel der Figur Elara}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @misc{12263, author = {{Lau, Evelin}}, keywords = {{Creature Design, Shape Language, Color Theory}}, pages = {{82}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Das Zusammenspiel von Form und Farbe im Creature Design von stilisierten Games}}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{10674, abstract = {{We examine to what extent the gender pay gap at top executive level is linked to gender stereotypes, i.e. to societal beliefs about the attributes women and men possess and the roles they ought to perform. We theorize that, even at the highest hierarchical level of an organization, executive functions are gender stereotyped: some (such as IT) are considered typically ‘masculine’, while others (such as human resources) are considered typically ‘feminine’. We argue gender stereotyping at the executive level to be related to pay such that masculine functions are paid more than feminine ones. Referring to role congruity theory, we further argue that women are paid better when they hold less masculine and therefore more role congruous functions. We find supportive evidence for both predictions when studying large European companies across the years 2014 to 2018. Pay data for 353 executives were linked to results of a survey in which participants were asked to rate the masculinity of the areas of responsibility of different executive functions. We find an empirical pattern that reflects a Catch 22 situation in which women executives appear unable to increase their pay by switching to more masculine functions that are, on average, better paid.}}, author = {{Diederich, Sarah and Iseke, Anja and Schneider, Martin and Pull, Kerstin}}, booktitle = {{The International Journal of Human Resource Management}}, issn = {{1466-4399}}, keywords = {{Gender pay gap, gender stereotyping, top executive pay, role congruity theory}}, pages = {{1--29}}, publisher = {{Routledge}}, title = {{{Role (in-)congruity and the Catch 22 for female executives: how stereotyping contributes to the gender pay gap at top executive level}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.1080/09585192.2023.2273331}}, year = {{2023}}, } @misc{12217, abstract = {{In this study dedicated to Winfried Lampert, we present a suite of case studies which successfully combined empirical long-term and experimental data with theory to identify mechanisms driving the non-linear dynamics and critical transitions in a lake ecosystem under environmental change.

Only by linking theory with data do we gain a mechanistic understanding of the dynamics and long-term changes observed in the case study sites – allowing for realistic projections under different climate change scenarios. If this combined approach correctly identifies the mechanisms governing change in case studies, then upscaling beyond the case study at hand is likely feasible. Indeed, for most of the presented case studies, identified mechanisms were confirmed by explicitly linking them to relevant recent studies based on large-scale global data sets. These include the rise in lake ice intermittency, shifts in thermal regime and the amplification of lake’s trophic state in a warmer world. This link also documents the importance and value of re-using long-term records under the FAIR data principles in international initiatives.

While extant research primarily examined it in the context of affluent consumer segments, the sharing economy may offer opportunities for consumers at the base of the economic pyramid, where ownership risks prevent access to products that could create societal benefits. Drawing from risk perception theory, we examine how access-based services, as an alternative to ownership, can mitigate perceived risk dimensions. An experimental study reveals that, in contrast to consumers with higher income, low-income consumers perceive access-based services to entail less financial risk, resulting in a greater inclination to access a good than to own it. In a second study, we explore these differences by comparing access with a risk mitigation strategy. We find that at the base of the pyramid, access is perceived to entail less financial risk than both ownership and ownership with a warranty. The results indicate the importance of the sharing economy for addressing the limited availability of resources for alleviating poverty.

Its motivation lies in the increasing global political, social, academic as well as practical importance of managing and reporting on carbon-related issues. Methodologically, we employ a systematic literature review. Thus, we identify 73 quantitative peer-reviewed empirical studies in this field and categorize them according to a legitimacy-theory-based framework. Our four main contributions offer new insights into this emerging research field and provide guidance for the development of new research models: First, we help future researchers to structure this emerging field of research with respect to the interactions of the phenomenon itself (carbon performance vs. disclosure), its determinants (country- and firm-related governance), and its financial consequences (value relevance, information asymmetry, financial performance, and cost of capital). Second, we provide a comprehensive overview of variables and proxies used in the studies and list their main statistical effects, which facilitates building novel models. There are indications that 1) board composition positively influences both carbon performance and disclosure, 2) carbon performance and carbon disclosure are positively connected, 3) carbon disclosure reduces information asymmetry, and 4) carbon performance increases financial performance. Third, we develop a research agenda with concise suggestions for future studies. Fourth, we argue that due to the under-theorization of concepts the comparability of included studies is challenging, this research field may be characterized as a vibrant field for extensive future research.

For this reason, the technology cannot be seen as solitary system, but should rather be included in the context of a scenario of work 4.0. These scenarios can help to classify new technologies, their advantages and constraints in order to provide guidance for the digital development of organizations. While several frameworks have been proposed in terms of technological guidance, most of them focus heavily on technology, neglecting their organizational- and human factors.
