The Art of Reception
This book deals with processes of reception in visual arts. Images (in the broadest sense) from different cultures and times are examined. The volume focuses on two key interpretations of reception. On the one hand, reception is understood as a concept of repetition and revision spanning different cultures and time periods. On the other hand, reception is also seen as the process of perceiving images. Both ways of understanding can be described by the metaphor of migration of images: in the first case, images migrate from one medium to another; in the second case, they migrate from the artefact into the human body. The contributions to this volume cover a variety of approaches coming from different disciplines such as Ancient Oriental philology, English and American studies, classical studies, classical archaeology, communication studies, cultural studies, art history, aesthetics, literature, media studies, philosophy, journalism, Romance studies, sociology, Near Eastern archaeology, prehistory, and classical studies.
Frank Stella
This publication follows, for the first time, Frank Stella's artistic development over five decades, and documents the unique retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, this massive survey celebrates the many lives of Frank Stella. It includes classic examples of each of his many periods, such as the Black Paintings, Irregular Polygons, the Protractor paintings, the Circuits series, the metal reliefs and floor sculptures of the past two decades and an ArchiSkulptur conceived by the artist exclusively for the exhibition. With more than 660 color reproductions, this volume is as ambitious and spectacular as its subject Frank Stella.
Holocaust Icons
Oren Baruch Stier traces the lives and afterlives of certain remnants of the Holocaust and their ongoing impact. He shows how and why four icons—an object, a phrase, a person, and a number—have come to stand in for the Holocaust: where they came from and how they have been used and reproduced; how they are presently at risk from a variety of threats such as commodification; and what the future holds for the memory of the Shoah.

Pädagogik im Verborgenen
Der Sammelband verfolgt das Ziel, gegenwärtige ästhetische Praktiken und die damit verbundenen konkreten ästhetischen Objekte und theoretischen Diskurse auf ihre implizite pädagogische Struktur hin zu befragen. Mittels interpretatorischer Bemühungen wird der Versuch unternommen zu überprüfen, inwiefern sich durch pädagogisch-theoretische Zugänge ein Intentionscharakter der jeweils zu betrachtenden Forschungsgegenstände sichtbar machen lässt. Im Verborgenen, so die These des Bandes, spielen sich solche Praktiken, Theorien und Objekte deshalb ab, da sie mittels verschiedener Strategien und hauptsächlich unter der Verwendung der Chiffre des Ästhetischen den Schein des Nicht-Intentionalen, des nicht gezielten Einwirkens auf adressierte Personen konstruieren.
The Politics of Making Kinship
The long tradition of Western political thought included kinship in models of public order, but the social sciences excised it from theories of the state, public sphere, and democratic order. Kinship has, however, neither completely disappeared from the political cultures of the West nor played the determining social and political role ascribed to it elsewhere. Exploring the issues that arise once the divide between kinship and politics is no longer taken for granted, The Politics of Making Kinship demonstrates how political processes have shaped concepts of kinship over time and, conversely, how political projects have been shaped by specific understandings, idioms and uses of kinship. Taking vantage points from the post-Roman era to early modernity, and from colonial imperialism to the fall of the Berlin Wall and beyond this international set of scholars place kinship centerstage and reintegrate it with political theory.
