This book traces the deployment of intermedial aesthetics in the works of early twentieth-century female performers. By destabilizing medial and genre boundaries, these women created compelling and meaningful performances that negotiated turn-of-the-century American social and cultural issues.

Innerhalb der aktuellen Buchmaterialitätsforschung kommt die Betrachtung der Lektüre oft zu kurz. Dies verkennt die intrikate Verschlingung von Buch und Lektüre in der Entdeckung der Druckschrift um 1800. Charlotte Coch zeigt, wie sich das »absolute Buch« bei Friedrich Schlegel im Zeichen der Arabeske als spezifisches, symmetrisches Lektüreprogramm formiert. Sie verfolgt außerdem die Umcodierung dieses Lektüreprogramms bei Walter Benjamin und Niklas Luhmann: Parallel zu einer Prozessualisierung des Formbegriffs verwandelt sich das absolute Buch von der Arabeske in das Ornament - und wird signalförmig. Damit wird Literatur als Paratext und Theorie als Metatext lesbar.

Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.
