Localism, Landscape, and the Ambiguities of Place
What makes a person call a particular place ‘home’? Does it follow simply from being born there? Is it the result of a language shared with neighbours or attachment to a familiar landscape? Perhaps it is a piece of music, or a painting, or even a travelogue that captures the essence of home. And what about the sense of belonging that inspires nationalist or local autonomy movements? Each of these can be a marker of identity, but all are ambiguous. Where you were born has a different meaning if, like so many modern Germans, you have moved on and now live elsewhere. Representing the ‘national interest’ in parliament becomes more difficult when voters demand attention to local and regio...
Provincial Modernity

The Visual Arts in Germany, 1890-1937
This work provides an introduction to the visual arts in Germany from the early years of German unification to World War II. The study is an analysis of painting, sculpture, graphic art, design, film and photography in relation to a wider set of cultural and social issues that were specific to German modernism. It concentrates on the ways in which the production and reception of art interacted with and was affected by responses to unification, conflict between left and right political factions, gender concerns, contemporary philosophical and religious ideas, the growth of cities, and the increasing important of mass culture.

Experimente in den Künsten
Experimentieren ist konstitutiv für künstlerische Prozesse - umso erstaunlicher, dass künstlerische Experimente bisher überwiegend unter wissensgeschichtlicher und historischer Perspektive sowie innerhalb einzelner Künste oder im Rahmen von Spezialanalysen thematisiert worden sind. Der interdisziplinäre Band reagiert auf dieses Desiderat: Die Beiträge untersuchen experimentelle Phänomene in den Künsten aus literatur-, theater-, film-, medien-, kunst- und musikwissenschaftlichen sowie (kunst-)philosophischen Perspektiven und fokussieren Experimente im transmedialen Vergleich. So entsteht ein Querschnitt experimenteller Verfahren in Literatur, Theater, Film, Musik und bildender Kunst.
Blue Sky Body
Blue Sky Body: Thresholds for Embodied Research is the follow-up to Ben Spatz's 2015 book What a Body Can Do, charting a course through more than twenty years of embodied, artistic, and scholarly research. Emerging from the confluence of theory and practice, this book combines full-length critical essays with a kaleidoscopic selection of fragments from journal entries, performance texts, and other unpublished materials to offer a series of entry points organized by seven keywords: city, song, movement, theater, sex, document, politics. Brimming with thoughtful and sometimes provocative takes on embodiment, technology, decoloniality, the university, and the politics of knowledge, the work shared here models the integration of artistic and embodied research with critical thought, opening new avenues for transformative action and experimentation. Invaluable to scholars and practitioners working through and beyond performance, Blue Sky Body is both an unconventional introduction to embodied research and a methodological intervention at the edges of contemporary theory.
