Volume 12, Tome I: Kierkegaard's Influence on Literature, Criticism and Art
While Kierkegaard is primarily known as a philosopher or religious thinker, his writings have also been used extensively by literary writers, critics and artists worldwide who have been attracted to his creative mixing of genres, his complex use of pseudonyms, his rhetoric and literary style, and his rich images, parables, and allegories. The goal of the present volume is to document this influence in different language groups and traditions. Tome I explores Kierkegaard’s influence on literature and art in the Germanophone world. He was an important source of inspiration for German writers such as Theodor Fontane, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Alfred Andersch, and Martin Walser. Kierkeg...
Beyond Art: A Third Culture
A new theory of culture presented with a new method achieved by comparing closely the art and science in 20th century Austria and Hungary. Major achievements that have influenced the world like psychoanalysis, abstract art, quantum physics, Gestalt psychology, formal languages, vision theories, and the game theory etc. originated from these countries, and influence the world still today as a result of exile nurtured in the US. A source book with numerous photographs, images and diagrams, it opens up a nearly infinite horizon of knowledge that helps one to understand what is going on in today’s worlds of art and science.

Constructive Destruction
The study presents a thorough investigation of Kafka's aphoristic writings, examining them in terms of the history of the aphorism in Germany, and paying special regard to Kafka's contemporary Austrian aphorists. Emphasis is placed on the role of the aphorism in the development of Kafka's literary creativity. Aphoristic discourse presented itself to Kafka as a possible manner of resolving specific conflicts in his life and art, above all the crisis of communication the individuality of the self. Aphoristic structure provides the transitional link between Kafka´s early perspectivistic narratives and the parables of the later period.
Machine Art in the Twentieth Century
An investigation of artists' engagement with technical systems, tracing art historical lineages that connect works of different periods. “Machine art” is neither a movement nor a genre, but encompasses diverse ways in which artists engage with technical systems. In this book, Andreas Broeckmann examines a variety of twentieth- and early twenty-first-century artworks that articulate people's relationships with machines. In the course of his investigation, Broeckmann traces historical lineages that connect art of different periods, looking for continuities that link works from the end of the century to developments in the 1950s and 1960s and to works by avant-garde artists in the 1910s and...
Kunst und Gesellschaft
Der bedeutende Künstler antwortet auf den »Anruf der Zeit«. Dies stand für den großen Museumsmann und Kunsttheoretiker Georg Schmidt fest. Und bereits im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts forderten Baudelaire und Manet, der Künstler müsse »modern« sein, »Antwort auf die Zeit« geben. Auch Fritz Billeter geht von der Grundthese aus, dass zwischen Kunst und Gesellschaft ein ständiger Austausch stattfindet. Er betrachtet in dem vorliegenden Essay diese Wechselwirkung beispielhaft unter dem Aspekt des Seismografischen. So, wie der Seismograf als Instrument des Geologen Erschütterungen, Verwerfungen, Erdbeben aufzeichnet, so macht die seismografische Kunst auffällige Wechsel, Brü...
