Christoph Knecht
Between Cat Content and Middle-Class Realism: Collecting, Sampling, and Mixing Symbols. Painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation comprise the work of Christoph Knecht (born 1983 in Karlsruhe; lives and works in Dusseldorf). The motifs of his works are multifaceted and disparate; the age of meta-narratives seems bygone. As a representative of the younger generation of digital natives, the artist is guided by this notion. Knecht's wide-ranging selection of motifs reflects the will to cognize: he unravels signs, explores ideas of cultural belonging, and pushes toward engagement by reiterating and modifying symbolisms. The series Plant of Opportunities shows amorphous plant people that eve...
Geography in Classical Antiquity
An introduction to the earliest ideas of geography in antiquity and how much knowledge there was of the physical world.
Cities of Alexander the Great
The cities founded by Alexander the Great were an essential part of his overall achievement. The problems concerning them, however, are many - and some incapable of solution. This book attempts to unravel the tradition, seeking to demonstrate that it originated in a tendentious political pamphlet of the third century BC, written in Ptolemaic Alexandria in the context of the development of the earliest version of the Alexander-Romance. The author explores the ramifications of this reconstruction from a lost Greek original through to the Persian and Arab traditions, and concludes that the number of cities commonly claimed to have been founded by Alexander needs to be considerably reduced. The book also includes some more general considerations regarding Alexander's policies and intentions.
Chorus and Community
Looks at choruses not only as a source of music, but as organizations that come together for aesthetic, social, political, and religious purposes. This volume discusses groups, including an East African chorus; groups from 19th century England, Germany, and America; early twentieth-century Russian Menonites; Soviet workers' clubs; and more.
Snog
Everybody snogs - it is a multi-cultural, poly-sexual act that transcends diversity . Nevertheless, in a society where it is considered inappropriate to watch an intimate moment between others, Rankin asked for volunteers who would be willing to kiss in front of the camera. People came forward who were keen to show off how they felt about each other - whether they were lovers, friends or somewhere in between.
Natural Spectaculars
The value of Plutarch’s perception of physical reality and his attitude towards the natural spectacle Plutarch was very interested in the natural world around him, not only in terms of its elementary composition and physical processes, but also with respect to its providential ordering and marvels. His writings teach us a lot about his perception of physical reality and about his attitude to the natural spectacle. He found his greatest inspiration in the ontological and epistemological framework of Plato’s Timaeus, but a wide range of other authors were also of seminal interest to his project. Moreover, the highly literary value of Plutarch’s natural philosophical writings should not be underrated. It is therefore not surprising that recently scholars have started to reassess the ancient scientific value of Plutarch’s natural philosophical writings. Natural Spectaculars aims to give further impetus to this dynamic by treating several aspects of Plutarch’s natural philosophy which have remained unexplored up to now.
