Performance transformieren
Das Wuppertaler Beuys-Performancefestival befasste sich ausgehend von der Aktionskunst Joseph Beuys' mit Formen zeitgenössischer Performance-Kunst. Durch die Covid-19-bedingte Transformation des Festivals in den digitalen Raum wurde es zudem selbst zum Impulsgeber: Die digitalen Formate führten nicht nur zu einer Veränderung von Zeitlichkeit und Wahrnehmungssituation, sondern rückten auch neue künstlerische Produktions- und Präsentationsweisen sowie die Verschränkung von Stadtgesellschaft und Performance-Kunst in den Blick. Die BeiträgerInnen führen die verschiedenen Stränge des Festivals zusammen, greifen Diskussionen und Impulse auf und fügen dem Festival so eine weitere diskursive Ebene hinzu.
Exotic Animals in the Art and Culture of the Medici Court in Florence
The book examines the roles that rare and exotic animals played in the cultural self-fashioning and the political imaging of the Medici court during the family’s reign, first as Dukes of Florence (1532-1569) and subsequently as Grand Dukes of Tuscany (1569-1737). The book opens with an examination of global practices in zoological collecting and cultural uses of animals. The Medici’s activities as collectors of exotic species, the menageries they established and their deployment of animals in the ceremonial life of the court and in their art are examined in relation to this wider global perspective. The book seeks to nuance the myth promoted by the Medici themselves that theirs was the most successful princely serraglio in early modern Europe.
Multiple Knowledges. Learning from/with Other Beings
This issue of Transpositiones showcases a range of interdisciplinary and critical approaches to classic and alternative conceptions of cognition and sources of knowledge. The articles reflect on the many types of sensory and extrasensory knowledge available to non-human beings and wonder whether and in what ways can we, as humans, perceive, conceptualize, and respect these knowledges. The authors highlight how the existence of multiple knowledges questions species boundaries and onto- and epistemological perspectives, in the process of learning not only about other beings but also from and along with them. This selection of texts attempts to contribute to overcoming the anthropocentric perception of subjectivity and to the abandoning of an optics based on the dualisms of nature and culture, spirit and matter, subject and object, animate and inanimate nature, physis and techne, etc., which are so firmly entrenched in the Western intellectual tradition.
"Rival Sisters, Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism, 1815?915 "
Introducing the concept of music and painting as 'rival sisters' during the nineteenth century, this interdisciplinary collection explores the productive exchange-from rivalry to inspiration to collaboration-between the two media in the age of Romanticism and Modernism. The volume traces the relationship between art and music, from the opposing claims for superiority of the early nineteenth century, to the emergence of the concept of synesthesia around 1900. This collection puts forward a more complex history of the relationship between art and music than has been described in earlier works, including an intermixing of models and distinctions between approaches to them. Individual essays from art history, musicology, and literature examine the growing influence of art upon music, and vice versa, in the works of Berlioz, Courbet, Manet, Fantin-Latour, Rodin, Debussy, and the Pre-Raphaelites, among other artists.

Zeugnis. Zweifel. Zeichen
Abstrakte Bilder mit ihrer häufig deutungsoffenen Bildsprache erschweren nicht nur Betrachter*innen den Zugang, sondern auch die kunstwissenschaftliche Interpretation. Denn stärker als es beispielsweise bei figürlichen Darstellungen der Fall ist, bedarf es bei einem abstrakten Werk der intensiven Auseinandersetzung. Dennoch haben sich Künstler*innen in abstrakten Bildern mit Ereignissen der Zeitgeschichte oder persönlichen Erfahrungen befasst. Dazu zählen K. O. Götz, Michael Morgner, Georg Karl Pfahler, Gerhard Richter, K. R. H. Sonderborg, Dieter Tucholke und Günther Uecker. Ausgewählte Werke dieser Künstler zeigen, wie sich das Verhältnis von Abstraktion und Realität nach 1945 definiert und sich spezifische Funktionen zur Repräsentation zeitgeschichtlicher Ereignisse entwickelt haben. Zeitgeschichte in der abstrakten Malerei nach 1945 in der Bundesrepublik und der DDR K. O. Götz, Michael Morgner, Georg Karl Pfahler, Gerhard Richter, K. R. H.

Architektur Alpiner Sicherheit
The use of protective measures against natural hazards is a key factor in alpine culture. It is surprising that discussion of this is conducted internally, but scarcely perceived by the public. A synopsis of the protective architecture, the perceived image of the Alps, and the slow process of adapting public images to the condition of the structures brings together what has been considered separately in the past. That is, the landscapes consumed by tourists must first be stabilised at considerable cost. This book shows how the production of safety zones is effective in the field of tension between aesthetics and technology and offers perspectives on landscape that extend beyond the assumed unspoilt quality of nature. Interdisciplinary study explaining image production relating to safety architectures in the Alps for the cultural exploitation of service-providing landscapes Tapping into a broad field of image documents Instructive contribution to the topic of "political landscape" Look inside
