Experimental Cultural Heritage
Experimental Cultural Heritage is a new approach to working with heritage in the landscape, without hierarchies, together with different interpreters in the surrounding community and with other entrances to the collective memories than the institutionalised. The aim is to engage artists, archaeologists and heritage workers to inspire each other and the community, to enrich and renew perspectives on local heritage. Museums and other cultural heritage institutions might play a rather different role in people's lives and their forming of identities and history through this experimental approach. If cultural heritage museums and institutions work more as places for expression, experimentation and exhibition than as mere hosting institutions for traditional collection and display, we can serve the public in a more useful way. Through the combination of artistic and archaeological or historical experimentation with cultural heritage in the landscape, we might be able to safeguard a living heritage.
New Directions in Radical Cartography
New Directions in Radical Cartography looks at the contemporary debates about the role of maps in society. It explores the emergence of counter-mapping as a distinctive field of practice, and the impact that digital mapping technologies have had on cartographic practice and theory. It includes original research, accounts of mapping projects and detailed readings of maps. The contributors explore how digital mapping technologies have sponsored a new wave of practices that seek to challenge the power that maps are commonly assumed to have. They document the continued vitality of analogue maps in the hands of artists and activists who are pushing the boundaries of what is mappable in different ways. New Directions in Radical Cartography draws on a rich body of mapping work that exists as part of community action, urban ethnography, environmental activism, humanitarianism, and public engagement.
Dialogues Between Artistic Research and Science and Technology Studies
This edited volume maps dialogues between science and technology studies research on the arts and the emerging field of artistic research. The main themes in the book are an advanced understanding of discursivity and reasoning in arts-based research, the methodological relevance of material practices and things, and innovative ways of connecting, staging, and publishing research in art and academia. This book touches on topics including studies of artistic practices; reflexive practitioners at the boundaries between the arts, science, and technology; non-propositional forms of reasoning; unconventional (arts-based) research methods and enhanced modes of presentation and publication.

Bottom's Dream
"I have had a dream past the wit of man to say what dream it was," says Bottom. "I have had a dream, and I wrote a Big Book about it," Arno Schmidt might have said. Schmidt's rare vision is a journey into many literary worlds. First and foremost it is about Edgar Allan Poe, or perhaps it is language itself that plays that lead role; and it is certainly about sex in its many Freudian disguises, but about love as well, whether fragile and unfulfilled or crude and wedded. As befits a dream upon a heath populated by elemental spirits, the shapes and figures are protean, its protagonists suddenly transformed into trees, horses, and demigods. In a single day, from one midsummer dawn to a fiery second, Dan and Franzisca, Wilma and Paul explore the labyrinths of literary creation and of their own dreams and desires. Since its publication in 1970 Zettel's Traum/Bottom's Dream has been regarded as Arno Schimdt's magnum opus, as the definitive work of a titan of postwar German literature. Readers are now invited to explore its verbally provocative landscape in an English translation by John E. Woods.
Around Nappanee
"The more things change, the more they stay the same" may be the unspoken motto of the simple but bountiful area that is rural Elkhart County. Long admired for its balance between active progression and an appreciation for the past, the area has been shaped by the history, harmony, and diversity of its residents. Each of the seven communities profiled in Around Nappanee carries its own sense of loyalty and tradition that is truly a source of hometown pride. This book will introduce readers to the heartlands of Nappanee, Wakarusa, New Paris, Foraker, Locke, Southwest, and Jimtown-all of which can be found among western and southern Elkhart County's peaceful plains and lush farmlands.
