Female Cultural Production in Modern Italy
This book is the first critical interdisciplinary examination in English of Italian women’s contributions to intellectual, artistic, and cultural production in modern Italy. Examining commonalities and diversities from the country’s Unification to today, the volume provides insight into the challenges that Italian women engaged in cultural production have faced, and the strategies they have deployed in order to achieve their objectives. The essays address a range of issues, from women’s self-identification and public ownership of their professional roles as laborers in the intellectual and cultural realm, to questions about motherhood and financial remuneration, to the role of creative...
Destroyed—Disappeared—Lost—Never Were
To write about works that cannot be sensually perceived involves considerable strain. Absent the object, art historians must stretch their methods to, or even past, the breaking point. This concise volume addresses the problems inherent in studying medieval works of art, artifacts, and monuments that have disappeared, have been destroyed, or perhaps never existed in the first place. The contributors to this volume are confronted with the full expanse of what they cannot see, handle, or know. Connecting object histories, the anthropology of images, and historiography, they seek to understand how people have made sense of the past by examining objects, images, and architectural and urban space...
Poetic Critique
Poetic critique – is that not an oxymoron? Do these two forms of behavior, the poetic and the critical, not pull in different, even opposite, directions? For many scholars working in the humanities today, they largely do, but that has not always been the case. Friedrich Schlegel, for one, believed that critique worthy of its name must itself be poetic. Only then would it stand a chance of responding adequately to the work of art. Taking Schlegel’s idea of poetische Kritik as a starting point, this volume reflects on the possibility of drawing these alleged opposites closer together. In light of current debates about the legacy of critique, it investigates whether a concept such as poetic critique (or poetic criticism) lends itself to enriching our intellectual practice by engaging with the poetic potential of criticism and the critical value of art and literature.
Why Art Criticism? A Reader
How is art criticism to be understood within an expanding artistic field? A look at its history and its manifestations within globalized conditions shows the variety of the genre, of the criteria and of the styles of writing. This reader is an attempt to bring a diverse range of art-critical voices and perspectives into conversation with each other, with texts from the 18th century to the present. The editors Beate Söntgen and Julia Voss have invited colleagues from various geographical and intellectual backgrounds to present and discuss the art critics of their choice, choosing one example from their respective bodies of work to comment upon. How have these writers approached art criticism...
taktlos
Um Sensibilität für das Tempo und den Rhythmus, die Taktungen und Intervalle des alltäglichen Zusammenlebens zu entwickeln, lohnt es sich genauer hinzusehen, um Möglichkeiten abseits der Norm aufzuspüren und abzuzeichnen. Oft offenbaren sich so in unvorhergesehener Weise Risse in der Gleichförmigkeit und Ambivalenzen der Berührung, die durch ihr Aufbrechen und gegen den Strich lesen erst Potentiale des Taktlosen freilegen. Welche Chancen liegen also im Verlust des Kontakts und welche Rolle kann mediale Vermittlung dabei einnehmen?
Im Schatten des Schweigens
Das Geheime ist ein Ort mannigfaltiger Beziehungen. An diesem Ort begegnen sich nicht nur Menschen, sondern zeigen sich auch ihre Verstrickungen in Macht-, Begehrens- und Wissensfelder. Lotte Warnsholdt legt einen Schwerpunkt auf die sozialen und historischen Effekte des Geheimen und adressiert die ambivalenten Wirkungsverhältnisse von Emanzipation und Ausgrenzung. Dazu bedient sie sich bei Theoretiker*innen wie Koselleck, Kittler, Horkheimer oder Hartman. Mit einem Fokus auf die Kulturtechniken des Schweigens und Zum-Schweigen-Bringens eröffnet sich so die Spannweite einer Semantik des Geheimen - und das Verhältnis von moderner Theoriegeschichte zur Verletzlichkeit moderner Subjekte.
Photopoetry 1845-2015
From amateur experiments in scrapbooks and stereographs to contemporary photobook collaborations between leading practitioners, poets and photographers have created an art form that continues to evolve and deserves critical exploration. Photopoetry 1845-2015, a Critical History represents the first account of this challenging and diverse body of work. Nott traces the development of photopoetic collaboration from its roots in 19th-century illustrative practices to the present day. Focusing on work from the UK and US, he examines how and why poets and photographers collaborate, and explores the currents of exchange and engagement between poems and photographs on the page. The book not only considers canonical figures, but brings to light forgotten practitioners whose work questioned and shaped the relationship between word and image. Photopoetry 1845-2015, a Critical History provides a new lens through which to explore poetry, photography, and the spaces between them.
Critique
"Critique is a form of thinking and acting. It is determined by its objects, yet never accesses them immediately but is always mediated through its own forms of (re)presentation. Since the end of the 18th century, there has been a dynamization and fluidization of the understanding of form, as topoi such as the break, the marginalization, the tearing and opening indicate. However, these multifarious attempts to "build on the structure through demolition" (Benjamin) testify to the dependence of all articulation on the forms of (re)presentation ["Darstellung"]. As a philosophical problem, the question of form arises in critical theory from Marx to Adorno. Since the 1960s, literary practices hav...
Begriffe des Ausstellens
This publication explores themes of the exhibition through its terms--not, however, to confine into isolated conceptual categories, but to interconnect. These terms characterize exhibiting and emphasize a "between-ness." Examining a term lays bare its ruptures, shifts, or recreations, as well as social, societal, and cultural changes that have the power to structure through historical conjecture. Almost fifty terms relevant to the making and discussion of exhibitions today have been compiled in Terms of Exhibiting (from A to Z), contributed by Liam Gillick, Manfred Hermes, Wojciech Kosma, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Tobias Vogt, Jochen Volz, and June Yap, among others. Six essays investigate key ...
Aus dem Leben der Form
Ein interdisziplinärer Blick auf das Verhältnis von Zeit und Form sowie auf Funktionen, Potentiale und Grenzen der Morphologie. Die Rezeption von Goethes Morphologie wurde bisher auf ein holistisches Gestaltverständnis reduziert und als kompensatorische oder apotropäische Reaktion auf krisenhafte Modernisierungserfahrungen am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts gedeutet. Das Bild einer weniger homogenen Wirkungsgeschichte ergibt sich jedoch, wenn Morphologie als Fundus für Fragen nach Formbildung und Formenwandel begriffen wird. Fragen, die Goethe im Vorfeld disziplinärer Ausdifferenzierung noch nicht beantworten konnte, und die nach 1900 disziplinär nicht mehr beantwortet werden können. Morphologie erweist sich so in der Theoriebildung des 20. Jahrhunderts als Irritationsfaktor im Wissensgefüge und als spannender Forschungsgegenstand im Heute: Die Untersuchungen der Autorinnen und Autoren haben ihren Fluchtpunkt in aktuellen Diskussionen zum Problem der Form, in denen grundsätzliche Unterscheidungen wie Natur vs. Kultur oder Vitalismus vs. Mechanismus auf dem Prüfstand stehen.
