With this volume, the editors Katharina Edtstadler, Sandra Folie, and Gianna Zocco propose an extension of the traditional conception of imagology as a theory and method for studying the cultural construction and literary representation of national, usually European characters.

The contributions offer [1] a reconsideration and update of the field’s methods, genres, and theoretical frames; [2] trans-/post-national, migratory, and marginalized perspectives beyond the European nation-state; [3] insights into geopolitical dichotomies such as Orient/Occident; [4] intersectional approaches considering the entanglements of national images with notions of age, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity/race; [5] investigations of the role of national images in visual narratives and music.

Ohne diesen geistigen Raum wäre ein Gebäude reine Konstruktion, eine Stadt nur Agglomeration. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Architektur den Raum nicht befüllt, sondern erzeugt. Die Installationen von LAAC, Henke Schreieck und Sagmeister&Walsh überlagern sich, verzerren sich in der Wahrnehmung. Sie stellen sich als Konzepte von "Abweichung", "Atmosphäre" und "Schönheit" dar, die k...
