Humility in the face of nature and its inimitable sublimity: that is the feeling that overcomes Jens Knigge (b. Eilenburg, Germany, 1964; lives and works in Berlin) during his wintertime travels along the Arctic Circle. He has recorded his impressions of snowcovered landscapes and the mysterious aurora borealis in mostly smallformat platinumpalladium prints. In the end, the contact sheets of the negatives of his analog photographs illustrate the inadequacy of established formal idioms and modes of expression. For it seems to be virtually impossible to render the essence of the experience of nature with the means of photography. Knigge's pictures accordingly hover between figuration and abstraction; as though the artist, with each new picture, encircled a mystical space opening up between surface and depth. Knigge's landscape pictures are sustained by the ultimate defeat of the will to document and depict before a white abyss of infinity. With an introductory essay by the journalist and art critic Ralf Hanselle.
As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, the field of education plays a more crucial role in understanding the contemporary world than ever before. Analyzing the role of education in leading and driving change through policy, practice, and constant innovation for a more inclusive education, whether it being educating students or teachers, is crucial in the development of new and improved education systems worldwide. To this end, Frontiers in Education is organizing a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in the field. This editorial initiative, led by Dr Gavin Brown, Specialty Chief Editor of the Assessment, Testing and Applied Measurement section, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of assessment in education.
The cultural practices of hip-hop have been among people's favorite forms of popular culture for decades. Due to this popularity, rap, breaking, graffiti, beatboxing and other practices have entered the field of education. At the intersection of hip-hop and music education, scholars, artists, and educators cooperate in this volume to investigate topics such as representations of gangsta rap in school textbooks, the possibilities and limits of working with hip-hop in an intersectional critical music pedagogy context, and the reflection of hip-hop artists on their work in music education institutions. In addition, the contributors provide ideas for how research and theory can be transferred and applied to music educational practice.
Research has shown that although teachers’ knowledge about the subject or pedagogy is important, a teacher’s professional vision (including their perceptions and pedagogical decisions) can also have a significant impact on the efficacy of their practice. Firmly grounded in the long-standing field of teacher professional vision research, this two-volume edited book explores new theoretical models, emerging methods, and empirical findings, highlighting areas to explore within future research and insights into the design of teacher education and teacher professional development. Volume 2 of this book, Teacher Professional Vision: Empirical Perspectives, provides insights into research on te...

Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide, it foregrounds the mobile potentials of music and presents key arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discussion of migration politics. 24 international specialists in music and migration set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies, discussing 41 keywords, such as mobility, community, research ethics, human rights, and critical whiteness in the context of music and mi...
This book is the first to present the history, aesthetics, and technique of Concrete Photography, a longstanding but formerly unplumbed subgenre within Concrete Art--or in Theo van Doesburg's formulation, art which depicts nothing but "itself." The contributing scholars here identify approximately 180 works by 80 international artists, who, in the words of photography professor and practitioner Gottfried Jâger, have produced a "self-referential world of images, highly abstract, non-figurative."
