Architect of Letters
News on Ludwig Hilberseimer! Ludwig Hilberseimer (1885–1967) is regarded as one of the leading theorists of the Neues Bauen movement in pre-War Germany, and of modern, functional urbanism. This set of accomplishments still dominates the public image of the architect, urban planner, teacher and art critic to this day. His development beyond that period has long been neglected. The essays in this collection seek to fill this gap, offering an exciting and wide-ranging new perspective on the work of a central protagonist of modernism. Until now, most critical studies of Hilberseimer's work came from his place of exile in Chicago and his work in Germany/Europe and the USA tended to be viewed separately; this volume is the first to attempt to end this separation and encourage a complete overview of is work. Previously unknown archival discoveries With contributions by Alexander Eisenschmidt, Magdalena Droste, Christine Mengin, Philipp Oswalt, Robin Schuldenfrei, Charles Waldheim and others
Objects in Exile
An essential examination of how emigration and resettlement defined modernism In the fraught years leading up to World War II, many modern artists and architects emigrated from continental Europe to the United States and Britain. The experience of exile infused their modernist ideas with new urgency and forced them to use certain materials in place of others, modify existing works, and reconsider their approach to design itself. In Objects in Exile, Robin Schuldenfrei reveals how the process of migration was crucial to the development of modernism, charting how modern art and architecture was shaped by the need to constantly face—and transcend—the materiality of things. Taking readers fr...
Transnational Advocacy in the Digital Era

It provides a detailed investigation of the power that these organizations have, the ways in which they differ from traditional NGOs, their memberships and networks, and how their campaigns are launched and distributed.
C. H. Sisson Reconsidered
This book is the first collection of essays dedicated to the work of C. H. Sisson (1915-2003), a major English poet, critic and translator. The collection aims to offer an overall guide to his work for new readers, while also encouraging established readers of one aspect (such as his well-known classical translations) to explore others. It champions in particular the quality of his original poetry. The book brings together contributions from scholars and critics working in a wide range of fields, including classical reception, translation studies and early modern literature as well as modern English poetry, and concludes with a more personal essay on Sisson’s work by Michael Schmidt, his publisher.
"The Space of Words"
Nelly Sachs (1891-1970) has long been regarded as one of the most significant Holocaust poets. Her conception of language and words as a landscape has been understood by scholars and critics as an exilic ersatz Heimat for the lost German homeland of a displaced poet. This reading, however, is based entirely on her postwar poems. Such an isolated approach to her complex body of work is increasingly historically problematic; it is also at odds with Sachs's generally cyclical poetic process. In "The Space of Words," Jennifer Hoyer offers the first sustained critical analysis of Sachs's largely unanalyzed prewar poetry and prose, as well as the first analysis that examines structural and themati...
Displacement, Development, and Climate Change
This book focuses on one critical challenge: climate change. Climate change is predicted to lead to an increased intensity and frequency of natural disasters. An increase in extreme weather events, global temperatures and higher sea levels may lead to displacement and migration, and will affect many dimensions of the economy and society. Although scholars are examining the complexity and fragmentation of the climate change regime, they have not examined how our existing international development, migration and humanitarian organizations are dealing with climate change. Focusing on three institutions: the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Organization for Migrat...

Ausatmungen
Der Band dokumentiert eine in ihrer Planung bis ins Jahr 2019 zurückreichende Zusammenarbeit der Universität Mozarteum Salzburg und der Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg. Aus künstlerischer und wissenschaftlicher Perspektive sollte das Schaffen der Dichterin Nelly Sachs in den Blick genommen werden. Zum Höhepunkt wurde die Uraufführung von drei Kammeropern im Oktober 2021. Einblicke in den künstlerischen Gestaltungsprozess, wissenschaftliche Beiträge zu Nelly Sachs’ Schaffen sowie die Auseinandersetzung mit dem dichterischen Œuvre durch Schüler*innen eines Oberstufengymnasiums in Salzburg ermöglichen eine facettenreichen Annäherung an eine große Persönlichkeit der deutschsprachigen Literatur.
Linke Waffe Kunst
Interne Kritik am Bauhaus Lange wurde viel und kontrovers über das linke Bauhaus gestritten. Mit der Erforschung der Kommunistischen Studentenfraktion (Kostufra) rücken endlich die linken Studierenden selbst in den Fokus. Ihre Zeitschrift: bauhaus. sprachrohr der studierenden. organ der kostufra war das Medium für schonungslose Kritik an Ereignissen, Lehrinhalten und Lehrenden. Die Zeitschrift ist zwischen1930 und 1932 in Dessau und Berlin in 15 hektografierten Nummern in einer losen Blattsammlung erschienenen und wird hier erstmalig von Forschenden aus der Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaft, Architektur und Editionswissenschaft kritisch diskutiert. Deutlich wird, dass die experimentelle Bedeutung des Bauhauses von politischer Radikalität nicht zu trennen ist. Erstmals detaillierte Aufarbeitung des kommunistischen Bauhauses Mit Beiträgen von Peter Bernhard, Marcel Bois, Magdalena Droste, Elizabeth Otto, Patrick Rössler u. a.
