Picturing the New Berlin: Filmic Representations of the Postunification Capital
2015
Just as Berlin as a political, social, ethnic, and material entity has undergone considerable change since 1989, so too the cinematic representations of the new capital over the last twenty years or so have projected a diverse set of images of the city. This article considers a selection of fiction films that can be grouped together under three broad thematic category headings: those dealing with Berlin's past, those addressing the city's multicultural identity and, most substantially, those films in which the capital of the new \"Berlin Republic\" can be read as a metaphor for postunification Germany. What all three categories have in common, it is argued, is that the image of Berlin that emerges from most of these films remains an overwhelmingly negative one, with the city portrayed predominantly as a site of either conflict or disorientation.

Shifting Zeckendorf and Chung-Graham representations
by
Burns, Rob
in
Representations
2025
We re-prove some results about integers whose Zeckendorf and Chung-Graham representations satisfy certain conditions. We use properties of the shift operator and use the software package Walnut.
Chung-Graham and Zeckendorf representations
by
Burns, Rob
in
Representations
2025
We examine the relationship between the Chung-Graham and Zeckendorf representations of an integer using the software package Walnut.
The appearance function for paper-folding words
2022
We provide a complete characterisation of the appearance function for paper-folding sequences for factors of any length. We make use of the software package Walnut to establish these results.
Images of Alterity: Second-Generation Turks in the Federal Republic
1999
The first part of the article considers some of the sociological insights yielded by the literary and filmic representations of second-generation Turks in the Federal Republic particularly with regard to problems of social integration. Always more than a mere reflection of social reality, however, migrant culture has increasingly exhibited the capacity to 'explore the possible beyond the given' as the article demonstrates by considering the utopian projections of the multicultural society in the work of the writer Alev Tekinay and the director Tevfik Baser.

Factorials and Legendre's three-square theorem: II
2022
Let \\(S\\) denote the set of integers \\(n\\) such that \\(n!\\) cannot be written as a sum of three squares. Let \\(S(n)\\) denote \\(S [1, n]\\). We establish an exact formula for \\(S(2^k)\\) and show that \\(S(n) = 1/8*n + O(n)\\). We also list the lengths of gaps appearing in \\(S\\). We make use of the software package Walnut to establish these results.
The Sum of Squares function in the ring \\(Z_n\\)
by
Burns, Rob
2022
We consider the sum of squares function in the ring \\(Z_n\\). We determine formulae in a number of cases when \\(n\\) is a power of a prime.
