Lehrmedien der Kunstgeschichte
Die kunsthistorische Forschung und Lehre ist aufs Engste mit der Mediengeschichte verzahnt. Durch die Digitalisierung ergeben sich hier neue Perspektiven. Der Band wirft vor diesem Hintergrund einen differenzierten Blick auf die Vielfalt kunsthistorischer Lehrmedien, indem er nach der Geschichte, den Prämissen, aber auch den Grenzen kunsthistorischer Medienpraxis fragt. Fallstudien widmen sich den unterschiedlichen Medien und ihrer Verwendung für die Wissensproduktion innerhalb der Kunstgeschichte. Beiträge u.a. von Alexandra Axtmann, Peter Bell, Matthias Bruhn, Bernd Carqué, Ortwin Dally, Ute Dercks, Philipp Goldbach, Erkki Huhtamo, Joseph Imorde, Rossella Monaco, Hubert Locher, Maria Männig, Susanne Müller-Bechtel, Robert S. Nelson, Franziska Scheuer, Barbara Schrödl, Andreas Zeising.
Furniture as trophy
Around the middle of the 19th century, so called 'antler furniture' was often found in Alpine hunting lodges. These 'trophies' made from hunted animals are seen today as an aberration of rustic conviviality. In modern settings animal materials have also been used ranging from classics of modern interior design from the 1920s that use animal fur as upholstery to ironic antler furniture pastiches from the 1980s, and the application of animal materials for furniture-like objects in contemporary art and design. 'The field of zoology has long supplied the arts and crafts sector with a plethora of sundry materials. The numerous antlers and horns are to be mentioned primarily in this context, which do not merely fill all of the hunting lodges and other houses belonging to keen huntsman but are also to be encountered in the homes of people who have never held a rifle, and at best know how to carve a haunch of venison with the necessary respect.' (Gustav Pazaurek, Good and Bad Taste in Arts and Crafts, 1912)
Hora H
Em Eras remotas, quando os portentosos anjos visitaram a Terra, alguns deles ousaram burlar as regras estabelecidas e se envolveram com as jovens terrenas. Desses relacionamentos, surgiram seres assombrosos, embora dotados de beleza angelical. Tais seres desencadearam poderes devastadores, a tal ponto, que a ira e a vaidade deles se tornaram uma ameaça aos habitantes. Deus conseguiu bani-los, mas há um custo muito alto para todos...No século XVI, uma grande surpresa manipulada por um traidor fez com que a alma de Arnjloth, um nephelim, se fragmentasse para ressurgir séculos depois nos corpos de oito rapazes e quatro moças: os 12 sentenciados, com estigmas herdados sob a forma de marcas zodiacais.Agora, esses jovens descobrem que seus destinos estão atrelados a uma só alma, o nephelim mais atroz que já pousou sobre a Terra, e que deseja retornar a qualquer custo

Rubens, Rembrandt, and Drawing in the Golden Age
An extraordinary history of Netherlandish drawing, focused on the training and skill of artists during the long 17th century With a lively narrative thread and thematic chapters, this book offers an exceptional introduction to Dutch and Flemish drawing during the long 17th century. Victoria Sancho Lobis discusses the many roles of drawing in artistic training, its function in the production of works in other media, and its emergence as a medium in its own right. Beautifully illustrated with some 120 drawings by artists including Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Hendrick Goltzius, Gerrit von Honthorst, and Jacob De Gheyn, this book surveys current methodologies of studying these works and features a brief history of Dutch papermaking and watermarks as well as a glossary. Paying careful attention to materials and techniques, and informed by recent conservation treatments, Lobis explains how to look at these drawings as records of experimentation and skill, true windows into the artist’s mind.
Strengthening Communities with Neighborhood Data
Efforts to address the problems of distressed urban neighborhoods stretch back to the 1800s, but until relatively recently, data played little role in forming policy. It wasn't until the early 1990s that all of the factors necessary for rigorous, multifaceted analysis of neighborhood conditions--automated government records, geospatial information systems, and local organizations that could leverage both--converged. Strengthening Communities documents that convergence and details its progress, plotting the ways data are improving local governance in America.
