Visiting the Visitor
The study of the museum visitor has undergone radical transformation. Each author here has asked unfamiliar questions and responded with fresh answers. Some of these questions involve the visitor's identity, what she brings to her museum experience. Can we gain entry into this experience? Does more technology really increase access to the objects themselves? Others probe the very nature of museum going and exhibition making, demanding that we reexamine the traditional exhibition to reposition the visitor and her meaning-making at the centre. The volume provokes imaginative research and encourages new conclusions.

Adverse Effects of Vaccines
In 1900, for every 1,000 babies born in the United States, 100 would die before their first birthday, often due to infectious diseases. Today, vaccines exist for many viral and bacterial diseases. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, passed in 1986, was intended to bolster vaccine research and development through the federal coordination of vaccine initiatives and to provide relief to vaccine manufacturers facing financial burdens. The legislation also intended to address concerns about the safety of vaccines by instituting a compensation program, setting up a passive surveillance system for vaccine adverse events, and by providing information to consumers. A key component of the legis...
Museen als Medien - Medien in Museen
Der Begriff "Medium" wird längst selbst inflationär gebraucht. Die "Mediatisierung" verweist symptomatisch auf einen Angstkomplex unserer Gesellschaft. Der Gegner ist so groß geworden, daß er überall und immer beschworen werden muß. Daß heute fast alles zum "Medium" erklärt wird, scheint im Zeitalterpostmodernen Zweifelns mit der Angst vor dem Verschwinden einer angeblich jenseits oder hinter der Fassade der Medien vorhandenen unvermittelten Realität zu tun, jener Sehnsucht nach dem Wirklichen, Wahren und Echten. Beim Museum liegt die Sache anders. Nicht nur die Museumsobjekte sind Medium, sondern auch das Museum. Es setzt klassische und moderne Medien ein. Das Kunstmuseum ganz besonders steht an der Schnittstelle zwischen Kunstproduktion und Publikum. Ein spannendes Buch, das die Zwitterstellung des Museums in Beiträgen verschienster Autoren - u.a. B. Küster, A. Zieger, J.-Chr. Amman, M. Fehr, P. Schneemann, J. Kallinich und B. Groys - unter allen Aspekten beleuchtet.

Central to Their Lives
Scholarly essays on the achievements of female artists working in and inspired by the American South Looking back at her lengthy career just four years before her death, modernist painter Nell Blaine said, "Art is central to my life. Not being able to make or see art would be a major deprivation." The Virginia native's creative path began early, and, during the course of her life, she overcame significant barriers in her quest to make and even see art, including serious vision problems, polio, and paralysis. And then there was her gender. In 1957 Blaine was hailed by Life magazine as someone to watch, profiled alongside four other emerging painters whom the journalist praised "not as notable...
