Abstract

Inwiefern ist die zunehmende Bedeutung des Sehens und der Reflexion über Visualität für den Übergang von der Frühen Neuzeit zur Moderne symptomatisch? Der hohe Stellenwert, den das Visuelle und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Sehsinn sowie den Eigenarten der visuellen Wahrnehmung in verschiedenen Bereichen der niederländischen Kultur des 17. Jahrhunderts einnehmen, ist auffällig. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden hier die Diskurse des Sehens, in die Maler, Dichter und ihre Rezipienten im 17. Jahrhundert eingebunden sind, in ihrer begrifflichen Formierung greifbar gemacht. In systematischer und vergleichender Perspektive wird untersucht, welchen Prämissen die Konjunktur der Visualität, wie sie in der Literatur und Malerei der Zeit zu konstatieren ist, unterworfen war. Denn dem Sehsinn und seinen Repräsentationen werden neuzeitlich Erkenntnis stiftende Funktionen zugewiesen, für die auch die künstlerischen Medien in Dienst genommen werden konnten. Die Beiträge, Ergebnisse eines interdisziplinären Gesprächs zwischen niederlandistischer Literaturwissenschaft und Kunstgeschichte, eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf den je spezifischen Umgang mit Visualität in Text und Bild.

Abstract

Infants' Sense of People focusses on infants during their first year of life, exploring how they begin to think about other people, their feelings, emotions and intentions, and how they become aware of these aspects of their own development. Drawing on a broad range of research and developmental theory, Maria Legerstee takes the view that infants have an innate sense of people at birth, which is activated through sympathetic emotions. She questions the idea that infants use physical parameters such as contingencies or motion to distinguish people from objects, and rejects the assumption that infants are mechanical creatures before they become psychological ones. She argues persuasively that before infants learn to speak, interactions with others are possible because infants have a primitive pre-linguistic 'theory of mind'. This accessible book provides a valuable synthesis of current thinking on early social and cognitive development and the origins of theory of mind.

Abstract

In »Call Me Ishmael«, Charles Olson exclaims »SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America«. Indeed, from the start, history and identity in America have been intricately tied to issues of space: from the idea of the »city upon a hill« to the transnational (soft) power of the United States, space has always served as an important parameter of power gained or lost and of the struggles to maintain or resist it. With contributions that range from the construction of America in (European) academic discourses to children's fiction, this collection provides an extensive and insightful study of how space influences our understanding of America. »The ongoing discussion of spaces and spatiality as well as of the opposition of space and place are certainly enriched by this volume, which offers new insight into a complex topic and features innovative, substantial, and inspiring essays.« Katharina Christ, Amerikastudien, 60 (2016)

Abstract

The chapters in this volume represent an intriguing, interdisciplinary approach to the study of memory, touching on issues of heritage, storytelling, and reconciliation. The central concern of this volume is not only how we remember the past in the present, but who remembers the past, opening up an engagement with descendant communities and public scholarship.
