German Art History and Scientific Thought
A fresh contribution to the ongoing debate between Kunstwissenschaft (scientific study of art) and Kunstgeschichte (art history), this essay collection explores how German-speaking art historians of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century self-consciously generated a field of study. Prominent North American and European scholars provide new insights into how a mixing of diverse methodologies took place, in order to gain a more subtle and comprehensive understanding of how art history became institutionalized and legitimized in Germany. One common assumption about early art-historical writing in Germany is that it depended upon a simplistic and narrowly-defined formalism. This book he...

In What Style Should We Build?

Walter de Gruyter
Der Wissenschaftsverlag Walter de Gruyter agierte wahrend der NS-Herrschaft uberaus erfolgreich. Angelika Konigseder zeigt, wie er unter der Fuhrung von Herbert Cram die ideologische Neuausrichtung von Staat und Gesellschaft akzeptierte, daran partizipierte und erheblich davon profitierte. Der deutschnational gesinnte Herbert Cram war kein Nationalsozialist, das hinderte ihn aber nicht daran, sich als Verleger mit den neuen Machthabern zu arrangieren. Der Verlag bemuhte sich einerseits darum, die Qualitatsstandards eines wissenschaftlichen Universalverlages aufrecht zu erhalten, suchte aber zugleich die Nahe zu staatlichen Institutionen und dort angesehenen Wissenschaftlern. Die Geschaftspolitik des Verlages Walter de Gruyter unterschied sich damit nicht von der vieler anderer mittelstandischer Unternehmen im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland.

Table of contents
The Living Image in the Middle Ages and Beyond
This edited volume discusses images that bleed, speak, cry, move, and behave in ways we usually attribute to living creatures. Living images have been the object of devotion as well as targets of destruction, and they have been marginalised in both culture and cultural studies for their ambivalence as well as their transgressive nature. But what is it that makes images the loci of such powerful properties? The present volume is an attempt to recuperate the living image, draw it from the margins, and re-illuminate its importance for cultural history. The title of this book reflects the ambition of the contributions to navigate between the Middle Ages of the past and the Middle Ages of the pre...
