Dialogical Interventions
How can art change society? What aesthetic quality does dialog bring to art? What is the role of autonomy in dialogical art? Dialogical Interventions investigates how dialogical art moves between the poles of social engagement, aesthetic autonomy and social change. Essays by international authors and interviews with socially and politically engaged artists and collectives focus on the relevance of dialogical and interventionist practices and their role in mediating new forms of knowledge and experience through art, thus opening up new prospects for this exciting arena of activity. Between the individual texts, artist insertions document social artistic practices on a visual level.

Connected Histories
The World Wide Web (WWW) and digitisation have become important sites and tools for the history of the Holocaust and its commemoration. Today, some memory institutions use the Internet at a high professional level as a venue for self-presentation and as a forum for the discussion of Holocaust-related topics for potentially international, transcultural and interdisciplinary user groups. At the same time, it is not always the established institutions that utilise the technical possibilities and potential of the Internet to the maximum. Creative and sometimes controversial new forms of storytelling of the Holocaust or more traditional ways of remembering the genocide presented in a new way with...
Stories of Traumatic Pasts
Belgischer Kolonialismus im Kongo, Antisemitismus in Österreich, Turbo-Nationalismus im ehemaligen Jugoslawien – diese drei historischen Stränge von Gewalt und Vernichtung erzwangen und stützten einen Prozess des Vergessens, der bis heute eine Aufarbeitung der durch sie verursachten Genozide verhindert. Heute droht eine unfreiwillige oder ausgeübte Amnesie all das zu zerstören, was bereits in Hinblick auf ein mögliches Zusammenleben erreicht wurde. Der Ausstellungskatalog geht zu diesen traumatischen Ereignissen der Geschichte sowie der jüngsten Vergangenheit mit ihrer zerstörerischen Wirkung auf Gemeinschaften und Völker, Staaten und Territorien zurück und stellen sie einem System von Interventionen gegenüber. Die nach Gräueltaten zurückbleibenden Narben sind zwar oft versteckt und ausgelöscht, lassen sich aber durch künstlerische, wissenschaftliche und politische Reflexionen zurückholen.
The Octopus
Diversity in artistic research This book presents the results of the Octopus Programme, an innovative fellowship in the field of artistic research. This international network of eleven institutions included selected participants from Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa, and generated numerous events, workshops, and exhibitions. By promoting international collaboration, new critical perspectives were developed to investigate the diversity of artistic research and practice in different contexts – academic as well as nonacademic – inside and outside institutions, or in relation to resources. This brings into focus not only different curatorial models, but also different modes of knowledge production. Artistic research and collaboration between academies, art institutions, students, and experts Curatorial forms of presentation, research and documentation, progressive educational methodology Contributions by Ruth Anderwald / Leonhard Grond, Jonatan Habib Engqvist, Maria Lantz, Barbara Putz-Plecko, Johan Thom, and others
Algorithms and Complexity
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity, CIAC 2019, held in Rome, Italy, in May 2019. The 30 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. The International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in all aspects of computational complexity and the use, design, analysis and experimentation of efficient algorithms and data structures. The papers present original research in the theory and applications of algorithms and computational complexity.
MATERIAL WITNESS
The evidential role of matter—when media records trace evidence of violence—explored through a series of cases drawn from Kosovo, Japan, Vietnam, and elsewhere. In this book, Susan Schuppli introduces a new operative concept: material witness, an exploration of the evidential role of matter as both registering external events and exposing the practices and procedures that enable matter to bear witness. Organized in the format of a trial, Material Witness moves through a series of cases that provide insight into the ways in which materials become contested agents of dispute around which stake holders gather. These cases include an extraordinary videotape documenting the massacre at Izbica...
Art, Anthropology, and Contested Heritage
This book presents innovative ethnographic perspectives on the intersections between art, anthropology, and contested cultural heritage, drawing on research from the interdisciplinary TRACES project (funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program). The case studies in this volume critically assess how and in which arrangements artistic/aesthetic methods and creative everyday practices contribute to strengthening communities both culturally and economically. They also explore the extent to which these methods emphasize minority voices and ultimately set in motion a process of reflexive Europeanisation from below which unfolds within Europe and beyond its borders. At the heart of the book is the deve...
Radical Assimilation in the Face of the Holocaust
This book explores the confrontation of radically assimilated Jews with the violent collapse of their envisioned integration into a cosmopolitan European society, which culminated during the Holocaust. This confrontation is examined through the biography of the German-speaking intellectual and prominent communist theoretician of the Jewish question Otto Heller (1897–1945), focusing on the tension between his Jewish origins and his universalistic political convictions. Radical Assimilation in the Face of the Holocaust traces the development of Hellerʼs position on the Jewish question in three phases: how he grew up to become a typical Central European "non-Jewish Jew" (1897–1931); how he became exceptional in that category by focusing his intellectual work on the Jewish question (1931–1939); and how he reacted to the persecution and murder of European Jewry as a member of the Resistance in occupied France and in Auschwitz (1939–1945). Breaking with the common portrayal of Heller as a self-hating Jew, Tom Navon argues instead that Heller came to lay the foundations for the groundbreaking recognition by communists of worldwide Jewish national solidarity.
Die Kunst der Grenzüberschreitung
Kunst und Migration im »neuen Europa«? Unter Bezugnahme auf Liminalität - als zentrale Kategorie eines erweiterten Kunstbegriffs im Kontext von Postkolonialismus und Performativität - nimmt Anita Moser zeitgenössische intermediale Praktiken aus dem österreichischen (Grenz-)Raum in den Blick. Anhand der exemplarischen Analyse prozesshafter Arbeiten von Franz Wassermann und der ausschnitthaften Darstellung von Projekten von Social Impact, Tanja Ostojic, Klub Zwei, Martin Krenn/Oliver Ressler, WochenKlausur u.a. werden wesentliche jüngere Entwicklungen in der (politischen) Kunst veranschaulicht, die die fundamentalen gesellschaftlichen Transformationen zum Gegenstand postkolonialer Kritik im Medium der Ästhetik machen. Die innovative Studie bietet kurzweilige Sozialgeschichte und »close reading« von Kunstprojekten in einem.
Ergrabene Kontexte
Diese Studie zeigt das Potential einer Analyse archäologischer Fundzusammenhänge: Räumliche und soziale Kontextualisierungen ermöglichen aufschlussreiche Einblicke in die komplexen materiellen Kulturen adeliger Haushalte und in die zeitgenössische Nutzung von Burgarealen. Leicht veränderbare, nicht-ortsfeste Elemente der Innenausstattung – die meist in Form archäologischer Funde überliefert sind – stellen eine wichtige Quelle zur funktionalen Analyse von Räumen dar. Besonderes Potential für die Untersuchung von Raumfunktionen und Ausstattungsmustern auf Adelssitzen liegt dabei in der Interpretation des Zusammenspiels architektonischer und archäologischer Spuren. Im Fokus dieser Untersuchung stehen daher aus archäologischen Fundkontexten erschließbare Depositionsbedingungen, Gebrauchskontexte und Bezüge zu Objekten, Personen oder Räumen.
