Valentin Ruhry: Volumen
Valentin Ruhry (born in Graz in 1982, lives in Vienna) studied Multimedia and Sculptural Art at the University of Applied Art in Vienna. He focuses on issues relating to sculptural art in order to translate this art form into contiguous visual art disciplines such as painting. The artist’s first monograph has been published in accompaniment to his solo exhibition »réclamer± in Graz’ Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien (KM–). With the light box frames that the artist arranged in the Graz exhibition space, Ruhry references advertising or the promotional function connoted by the light boxes, and in doing so exhibits their loss of function. In a way that is characteristic to Ruhry’s work, the objects increasingly focus on the immediate space that surrounds them, the interactive projections of light and shadow and the analysis of light art in general. The publication presents the artist’s current works as well as a range of pieces from the past years.0Exhibition: Künstlerhaus - Halle für Kunst & Medien (KM-), Graz, Austria (16.05.-02.06.2013).
Nobles and Nation in Central Europe
This is a study of Central European nobles in revolution. As one of Germany's richest, most insular and most autonomous nobilities, the Free Knights in Electoral Mainz represented the early modern noble ideal of pure bloodlines and cosmopolitan loyalties in the old society of orders. But this world came to an end with the outbreak of the revolutionary wars in 1792. Quite apart from the social, economic and political dislocations and loss, the era from 1789 to 1815 also meant a cultural reorientation for the nobility. William D. Godsey, Jr here explores how nobles in post-revolutionary Germany gradually abandoned their old self-understanding and assimilated with the new cultural 'nation' while aristocrats in the Habsburg Empire, which had taken in many emigres from Mainz, moved instead towards supranationalism. This is a major contribution to debates about the relationship between identity, cultural nationalism, supranationalism and religion in Germany and the Habsburg Empire.

Hope and Heresy
Apocalyptic expectations played a key role in defining the horizons of life and expectation in early modern Europe. Hope and Heresy investigates the problematic status of a particular kind of apocalyptic expectation—that of a future felicity on earth before the Last Judgement—within Lutheran confessional culture between approximately 1570 and 1630. Among Lutherans expectations of a future felicity were often considered manifestations of a heresy called chiliasm, because they contravened the pessimistic apocalyptic outlook at the core of confessional identity. However, during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, individuals raised within Lutheran confessional culture—math...
