Image – Action – Space
Screen-based media, such as touch-screens, navigation systems and virtual reality applications merge images and operations. They turn viewing first and foremost into using and reflect the turn towards an active role of the image in guiding a user’s action and perception. From professional environments to everyday life multiple configurations of screens organise working routines, structure interaction, and situate users in space both within and beyond the boundaries of the screen. This volume examines the linking of screen, space, and operation in fields such as remote navigation, architecture, medicine, interface design, and film production asking how the interaction with and through screens structures their users’ action and perception.
Martin Folkes (1690-1754)
Martin Folkes (1690-1754): Newtonian, Antiquary, Connoisseur is a cultural and intellectual biography of the only President of both the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries. Sir Isaac Newton's protégé, astronomer, mathematician, freemason, art connoisseur, Voltaire's friend and Hogarth's patron, his was an intellectually vibrant world. Folkes was possibly the best-connected natural philosopher and antiquary of his age, an epitome of Enlightenment sociability, and yet he was a surprisingly neglected figure, the long shadow of Newton eclipsing his brilliant disciple. A complex figure, Folkes edited Newton's posthumous works in biblical chronology, yet was a religious skeptic and one ...

The Learned Draftsman
The celebrated French artist Edme Bouchardon (1698–1762) is primarily known as a sculptor today, but his contemporaries widely lauded him as a draftsman as well. Talented, highly innovative, and deeply invested in the medium, Bouchardon made an important contribution to the European art and culture of his time, and in particular to the history of drawing. Around two thousand of his drawings survive—most of which bear no relation, conceptual or practical, to his sculpture—yet, remarkably, little scholarly attention has been paid to this aspect of his oeuvre. This is the first book-length work devoted to the artist’s draftsmanship since 1910. Ambitious in scope, this volume offers a co...
Liv-, Est- und Kurländisches Urkundenbuch
Als großartiges Zeugnis der Editionstätigkeit baltischer Historiker und Archivare ist das "Liv-, Est- und Kurländische Urkundenbuch" die bedeutendste Quellenedition zur Geschichte des spätmittelalterlichen Livland, des Gebietes der heutigen Staaten Estland und Lettland, und dient als unverzichtbares Instrument zur Erforschung der baltischen Geschichte. Nachdem bis 1914 in rascher Folge 15 Bände erschienen waren, stockte das Vorhaben aufgrund politischer und wissenschaftsorganisatorischer Wechselfälle, und es blieb eine von 1472 bis 1494 reichende Lücke. Sie zu schließen ist seit einiger Zeit Projekt der Baltischen Historischen Kommission, aus dem 2018 mit Band I/13 ein erstes Ergebnis hervorgegangen ist. Der nun folgende 14. Band bietet zahlreiche, vielfach unbekannte Dokumente zu den Auseinandersetzungen um das Erzstift Riga und dem damit verbundenen Hegemonialkonflikt in Livland, zu den wirtschaftlichen Verflechtungen der Region in den hansischen und osteuropäischen Handelsraum sowie zu den rechtlichen, kirchlichen und sozialen Verhältnissen der Städte und ihrer Bürgerschaften.
