Yves Klein is one of the most extraordinary and influential figures in post-war avant-garde art. In less than a decade - up until his untimely death in 1962 - he forged a career and built up a body of work that together have influenced and inspired contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists worldwide. Klein sought in his art to liberate the senses, to heighten our sensibility and to intensify our experience of life. In this comprehensive review of his art and ideas, Sidra Stich examines the full range of his diverse creative output - his paintings and sculptures, installations, meticulously documented performances, his copious writings, and his proposals and drawings for visionary projects - and sets them within the context of the art of the time to assess Klein's originality and his legacy.
Die (Forderung nach) Inklusion von Menschen mit Behinderungen wirft Fragen auf und führt zu kontroversen Antwortversuchen. Wie könnte der Beitrag der Sonderpädagogik zur Inklusion aussehen und was bedeutet das für die Zukunft der Sonderpädagogik? Benötigt ein inklusives Bildungswesen mehr Sonderpädagogik oder etwa gar keine Sonderpädagogik mehr? Über viele Jahre hat sich die Sonderpädagogik als Anwalt von Menschen mit Behinderungen verstanden - wird dieses Verständnis zukünftig überflüssig? In der vorliegenden Publikation wird das Verhältnis von Sonderpädagogik und Inklusion aus verschiedenen sonderpädagogischen Gebieten und Nachbardisziplinen diskutiert. Dabei werden historische, wissenschaftstheoretische sowie das Bildungs- und Gesellschaftssystem betreffende Aspekte vorgestellt und die Frage des Beitrags der Sonderpädagogik zur Inklusion kritisch hinterfragt. Orientierungspunkte für die weitere Entwicklung der Sonderpädagogik in Theorie und Praxis werden aufgezeigt in einem Bildungs- und Gesellschaftssystem, das für Menschen mit Behinderungen ein größeres Maß an Teilhabe und Partizipation realisieren will.

From 2008 to 2010, AA Bronson and Peter Hobbs collaborated to convene small groups of men in various locations throughout Canada and the United States in a secret group ritual known as "Invocation of the Queer Spirits." Invoking the queer and marginalized histories of each site in celebrations of sexuality and memorialisation, the groups performed something that Bronson has characterized as "a hybrid between group therapy, ceremonial magic, a séance and a quilting bee." Queer Spirits explores all five performances in five chapters of photographic essays together with a brilliant and frequently humorous reflection on queer animals, forest rangers, shamanism and alfresco sex by Peter Hobbs.
