Trying to Grow
This book explores the negotiations at the inter- and intrafaces of knowledge and gender. It analyses the construction of gender and knowledge to reveal how innovations in agriculture either transform existing gender relations or unfold a transcending potential. The case studies on the cultivation of cowpeas, onions and soybeans by Dagombas and Kusasis show that supposedly gender-neutral agricultural innovations become contested fields when men and women are "Trying to Grow". The contextualisation and social connotation of a crop decides over women's participation in rural development. The book throws a fresh light on the management of agricultural knowledge.
How to be FAIR with Your Data
This handbook was written and edited by a group of about 40 collaborators in a series of six book sprints that took place between 1 and 10 June 2021. It aims to support higher education institutions with the practical implementation of content relating to the FAIR principles in their curricula, while also aiding teaching by providing practical material, such as competence profiles, learning outcomes, lesson plans, and supporting information. It incorporates community feedback received during the public consultation which ran from 27 July to 12 September 2021.
This is Me, this is You
Last season we published Horn's Dictionary of Water, a universal lexicon, now we offer This Is Me, This Is You Horn's handbook of identity. Here in this uniquely bound twinned volume we have a book with no end. Peruse the 48 images taken with a 'point and shoot' camera, and as you arrive at the last image, you turn the book over and begin again: now with a paired complement for each of the 48 images, taken only a few seconds later. This work, a single and singular portrait photographed over a two year period evokes a multitude-- of identities, of images, of icons from Bette Davis to Marlon Brando. Ultimately it is the multitude in each of us.
DingeDenkenLichtenberg
DingeDenkenLichtenberg erscheint begleitend zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung, die zum 275. Geburtstag Georg Christoph Lichtenbergs (1742-1799) in der Paulinerkirche des Historischen Gebäudes der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen vom 1. Juli bis zum 3. Oktober 2017 gezeigt wird. Schon unter seinen Zeitgenossen galt Lichtenberg als eine Persönlichkeit mit vielen Facetten und Interessen. Er war präziser Beobachter und pointierter Kommentator, experimentierfreudiger Physiker, populärer akademischer Lehrer und stets neugieriger Denker. Lichtenbergs materielle Überlieferung ermöglicht umfassende und detaillierte Blicke auf einen beispielhaften Wissenschaftler des...
Eye to Eye
Eye to Eye gathers for the first time more than 150 photographs by rock musician Graham Nash. While best known as a founding member of the rock band Crosby, Stills, Nash, and (sometimes) Young, Nash also developed a parallel career as a photographer, collector, and pioneer of digital imaging. Shot between 1969 and 2003, Nash's photographs include revealing portraits of family and friends, images of life on the road, still lifes and landscapes, street photographs, and a unique series of self-portraits which often shows him reflected in windows and mirrors. Eye to Eye establishes Nash as a masterful visual artist with a keen eye for moments and scenes not immediately available to the common eye.

In der Kunstsammlung der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen befinden sich etwa 100 italienische Handzeichnungen der Frühen Neuzeit, darunter Blätter mit berühmten Namen von Botticelli über Rosso Fiorentino und Luca Cambiaso bis Benedetto Luti. Die meisten dieser Zeichnungen besitzen eine weit zurückreichende Provenienz und gelangten 1770 mit der Schenkung von Kunstwerken aus der Sammlung des Frankfurter Patriziers Johann Friedrich von Uffenbach an die Göttinger Universität. Dieser Bestand an italienischen Meisterzeichnungen ist von der Forschung bisher kaum beachtet worden. Er diente als Ausgangspunkt eines Forschungsprojektes, das 2023 mit einer Ausstellung abgeschlossen werden konnte. Zahlreiche Zuschreibungen wurden überprüft oder korrigiert und Bildmotive erstmals zutreffend bestimmt. Die Leitfrage des Katalogbuches ist die Rolle von Handzeichnungen in künstlerischen Werkprozessen.
Ich-Du-Wir
Human societies are characterized by highly differentiated social relationships, pronounced cooperation and highly developed forms of communication; they are considered unique in their complexity. However, a pronounced sociality can also be found in our closest living relatives, the non-human primates. Since 2015, the members of the interdisciplinary Research Training Group "Understanding Social Relationships" have been investigating how social relationships are developed and maintained, and which cognitive abilities are decisive in social interactions. The comparison between humans and nonhuman primates serves to develop a better understanding of the evolutionary basis of human social behaviour. Reaching the end of its funding period, the Research Training Group presents the special exhibition "Me-You-Us. Social Relationships in Humans and Other Primates" in the Forum Wissen to provide insights into the research practices of this interdisciplinary consortium (25 April - 3 November 2024).
Ceau
Nicolae Ceaucescu was Romanias leader between 1965 and December 1989, assisted by his wife Elena. As a result of the personality cult characteristic of any dictatorship, within this period hundreds of portraits of Elena and Nicolae were realized by artists all over the country. CEAU is an art book that presents a selection of these portraits preserved in the storage vaults of the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest. These artworks had either been commissioned by a variety of political bodies within the Socialist Republic of Romania or had been offered to the Ministry of Culture as a gift by the artists themselves before the fall of the Ceaucescu regime. A transcript of the trial of Nicolae and Elena Ceaucescu on the 25th December 1989 rounds off the publication.
