Cultural differences are often the trigger for conflict – whether politically motivated or arising from dissonant understandings of national culture. But what we regard as distinctive today in our cultural heritage or day-to-day cultural experience is deeply rooted in the rich diversity of the national currents of the nineteenth century. Culture and Conflict: Nation-Building in Denmark and Scandinavia, 1800–1930 explores the many strands of Danish and Scandinavian culture that helped to shape these cultural identities. The sixteen contributions in this volume analyse how competing national agendas influenced the development of political life as well as literature, the visual arts, and mu...
This book explores the tangled texture of the art world, a curious and mysterious space. In 60 essays, drawn from around the globe, it reveals new dimensions about how artists make their art, resist censorship and retain an independent, creative spirit. The essays ask and answer several crucial questions: How do artists in Europe, the United States, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin and South America find space to live and work? How do artists follow their talent to make and exhibit original art in a politicized world where artistic freedom is often limited? How do smaller artistic venues survive the economic pressures and competition in the art market? Focusing on under-the-radar subjects, the reports, interviews, and essays illuminate the pain and pleasures of artistic production and the challenges faced by artists, curators, and gallerists.
From the visual politics of the FRELIMO-liberation script in Mozambique via the brooms and spoons of Le Balai Citoyen in Burkina Faso, to the updating of images from past revolutions on Twitter and Facebook, often in the diaspora – images play a key role in the envisioning of futures and social utopia. And more than that: Revolutions, understood as moments of radical social and cultural change, are driven by images, as empirical investigations on- and offline show. But what actually constitutes the 'seismographic power' of images, and the sustainability of icons from past ruptures in terms of radicalism, such as the portraits of Burkina Faso's and Mozambiques first presidents' Thomas Sanka...

Kunst und Kultur des 21. Jahrhunderts sind dominiert von multimedialen wie multisensorischen Sinneserfahrungen und Wahrnehmungsprozessen. Allerdings fehlt es an wissenschaftlichen Begriffen und Analyseinstrumentarien zur systematischen Untersuchung dieser Prozesse, die tradierte Vorstellungen von Erzählen, Fiktionalität und Rezeption herausfordern. Relevante Fragen in diesem Kontext sind beispielsweise, inwiefern die sinnliche Komponente der Werke ein narratives Potential aufweist und an der Erzählung der Geschichte mitwirkt, wie sie Bedeutung erzeugen kann, wie sich das Verhältnis zwischen Medienspezifik und Medienzusammenspiel fassen lässt, welche Mehrwerte sich aus der Kombination mehrerer medialer Darbietungsformen ergeben, wie sich das sprachlich oft nur schwer fassbare sinnliche Erleben bei der Rezeption konzipieren lässt und welche Konsequenzen sich für den Werkbegriff ergeben. Zur Beantwortung dieser und weiterer Fragen setzt sich der Band mit Beispielen multimedialer wie multisensorischer Kunst aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven auseinander.
