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.

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.

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.

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...
