Constructions of Media Authorship
The author is dead, long live the author! This paradox has shaped discussions on authorship since at least the 1960s, when the dominant notion of the individual author-genius was first critically questioned. The ongoing discussion has mainly focused on literature and the arts, but has ignored nearly any artistic practice beyond these two fields. “Constructions of Media Authorship” aims to fill this gap: the volume’s interdisciplinary contributions reflect historical and current artistic practices within various media and attempt to grasp them from different perspectives. The first part sheds a new light on different artistic and design practices and questions the still dominant view on...
Artificial Intelligence - Intelligent Art?
As algorithmic data processing increasingly pervades everyday life, it is also making its way into the worlds of art, literature and music. In doing so, it shifts notions of creativity and evokes non-anthropocentric perspectives on artistic practice. This volume brings together contributions from the fields of cultural studies, literary studies, musicology and sound studies as well as media studies, sociology of technology, and beyond, presenting a truly interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art picture of the transformation of creative practice brought about by various forms of AI.
Caravaggio
As this collection of essays makes clear, the paths to grasping the complexity of Caravaggio?s art are multiple and variable. Art historians from the UK and North America offer new or recently updated interpretations of the works of seventeenth-century Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and of his many followers known as the Caravaggisti. The volume deals with all the major aspects of Caravaggio?s paintings: technique, creative process, religious context, innovations in pictorial genre and narrative, market strategies, biography, patronage, reception, and new hermeneutical trends. The concluding section tackles the essential question of Caravaggio?s legacy and the production of his followers-not only in terms of style but from some highly innovative strategies: concettismo; art marketing and the price of pictures; self-fashioning and biography; and the concept of emulation.
Complexity Economics for Environmental Governance
In Complexity Economics for Environmental Governance, Jean-François Mercure reframes environmental policy and provides a rigorous methodology necessary to tackle the complexity of environmental policy and the transition to sustainability. The book offers a detailed account of the deficiencies of environmental economics and then develops a theory of innovation and macroeconomics based on complexity theory. It also develops a new foundation for evidence-based policy-making using a Risk-Opportunity Analysis applied to the sustainability transition. This multidisciplinary work was developed in partnership with prominent natural scientists and economists as well as active policy-makers with the aim to revolutionize thinking in the face of the full complexity of the sustainability transition, and to show how it can best be governed to minimize its distributional impacts. The book should be read by academics and policy-makers seeking new ways to think about environmental policy-making.
A Companion to Sound in German-Speaking Cultures

Cities, Texts and Social Networks, 400–1500
Cities, Texts and Social Networks examines the experiences of urban life from late antiquity through the close of the fifteenth century, in regions ranging from late Imperial Rome to Muslim Syria, Iraq and al-Andalus, England, the territories of medieval Francia, Flanders, the Low Countries, Italy and Germany. Together, the volume's contributors move beyond attempts to define 'the city' in purely legal, economic or religious terms. Instead, they focus on modes of organisation, representation and identity formation that shaped the ways urban spaces were called into being, used and perceived. Their interdisciplinary analyses place narrative and archival sources in communication with topography...

Die Dramatisierung von Innenwelten im Film
Das Buch beantwortet, woher ein Zuschauer wissen kann, wie sich eine Figur im Film fühlt, was sie denkt und was in ihrem Innersten vorgeht. Dabei wird zunächst beschrieben, welche Mechanismen wirken, wenn wir in unserem Alltag Menschen einschätzen, ihre Mimik interpretieren oder Empathie empfinden. Wirken im Film die selben Mechanismen? Welche Rolle spielen zusätzlich die filmischen Mittel: die Kamera, der Schnitt, die Musik, die Farben, das Produktionsdesign? Historische Aspekte werden dabei ebenso berücksichtigt wie kulturelle Unterschiede.
Kulinarisches Kino
Oft spielen Essen und Trinken in Filmen eine subtile Rolle: Vom Zuschauer nahezu unbemerkt, sind sie nur lose mit der Handlung verbunden und dennoch unverzichtbar für das Erzählte. Hin und wieder jedoch rücken Speisen sowie ihr Gebrauch ins Zentrum des Films, etwa in Klassikern des kulinarischen Kinos wie »Das große Fressen«, »Brust oder Keule« und »Babettes Fest«. Der Band versammelt verschiedene Perspektiven auf diese und weitere einschlägige Momente des kulinarischen Kinos. Die Beiträge, u.a. von Peter Peter, Robert Pfaller, Thomas Struck und Thomas Vilgis, diskutieren, auf welche Weise Filme Ernährungspraktiken thematisieren und so Kommentare zu relevanten sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen unserer Zeit darstellen.
