Postcolonial Studies Across the Disciplines
Bringing together contributions from various disciplines and academic fields, this collection engages in interdisciplinary dialogue on postcolonial issues. Covering African, anglophone, Romance, and New-World themes, linguistic, literary, and cultural studies, and historiography, music, art history, and textile studies, the volume raises questions of (inter)disciplinarity, methodology, and entangled histories.

Vera Röhm
Both a sculptor and a photographer, German-born Vera Röhm is best known for her unorthodox approach to visual art. Using a repertoire of only elementary geometrical shapes, Röhm's incisions, mutilations, and cross-sections of various materials evoke the very real challenges of restoration and reconstruction. Vera Röhm is the first comprehensive collection of this contemporary artist's work to be presented to an English-speaking public. It explores the changing shape of Röhm's art in such installations as Integrations and Shadow Objects, as her photographs of the Jaipur Observatory, and works such as the cube series bearing the inscription "Night is the Earth's Shadow," which form part of a significant corpus of work connected with language. Accompanied by essays from renowned poet and critic Eugen Gomringer and the art historian Stephen Bann, Vera Röhm is lavishly illustrated with images from her exhibitions.

Optische Poesie
Review text: "Denckers Bestandsaufnahme ist eine Pionierleistung, ein Muss für innovationsnarzisstische Autoren und Künstler, die staunen werden, was alles bereits nicht von ihnen erfunden wurde, ein Muss auch für alle geistigen Anstalten zur orientierenden Entrümpelung. Dem um eine sachdienliche Bibliographie erweiterten Referenzwerk ist zu wünschen, dass es bald schon heißt: "Schlag nach bei Dencker.?"Michael Lentz in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 27. März 2012.
