When sacred objects were rejected during the Reformation, they were not always burned and broken but were sometimes given to children as toys. Play is typically seen as free and open, while iconoclasm, even to those who deem it necessary, is violent and disenchanting. What does it say about wider attitudes toward religious violence and children at play that these two seemingly different activities were sometimes one and the same? Drawing on a range of sixteenth-century artifacts, artworks, and texts, as well as on ancient and modern theories of iconoclasm and of play, Iconoclasm As Child's Play argues that the desire to shape and interpret the playing of children is an important cultural force. Formerly holy objects may have been handed over with an intent to debase them, but play has a tendency to create new meanings and stories that take on a life of their own. Joe Moshenska shows that this form of iconoclasm is not only a fascinating phenomenon in its own right; it has the potential to alter our understandings of the threshold between the religious and the secular, the forms and functions of play, and the nature of historical transformation and continuity.

Die Materialität des Buchs, seine Gestaltungsformen und Funktionen werden zum einen durch Künstlerbücher erkundet, die sich seit den 1960er Jahren als eigenständige künstlerisches Genre profiliert haben, zum anderen sind sie aber auch Gegenstand literarischer Reflexion - in Werken, für die ihre jeweilige Buchgestalt konstitutiv ist. Das Handbuch widmet sich den vielfältigen Spielformen literarischer und künstlerischer Gestaltung des Buchs und ihren konvergenten Interessen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf solchen Künstlerbüchern, die in produktiver Auseinandersetzung mit literarischen Texten entstanden sind und diese durch buchgestalterische Mittel inszenieren, transformieren und reflektieren. Gegliedert in fünf Teile, bietet das Handbuch in Teil A Überblicksdarstellungen und Beispiele zu Themen der Buchreflexion wie Materialität, Visualität und Schriftlichkeit. Teil B gilt der literarisch-künstlerischen Rezeption historischer Buchtypen wie Atlas, Bestiarium und Enzyklopädie, Teil C ästhetischen Aspekten des Kinder- und des Bilderbuchs. In Teil D finden sich Artikel zu zentralen Konzepten und Formen literarisch-künstlerischer Buchgestaltung, in Teil E dann je 50 Beispiele buchgestalterischer Literatur und Literatur basierter Künstlerbücher. There are many instances where interest in the materiality and design of the book links contemporary literature to art books, as they have developed since the 1960s. The five parts of this Handbook cover the themes and forms of reflection on book design, design considerations in historical book types, children's books and picture books, central forms and concepts, along with 100 examples from literature and the art of the book.

What role do material objects play in the in-situ, embodied and spatial circumstances of interaction? How do people organize their embodied conduct with regard to such objects, and how is this consequential in and for their work practices? In this volume, contributors focus on these questions in terms of connections between ongoing courses of interaction within work practices, object materiality and mobility in space, bodily movement and manipulation of objects, and language. The chapters in this book address a broad range of settings and actions (including dressmaking, foreign language teaching, international business meetings and forklift driving) where a variety of objects become relevant.

Waste Siege offers an analysis unusual in the study of Palestine: it depicts the environmental, infrastructural, and aesthetic context in which Palestinians are obliged to forge their lives. To speak of waste siege is to describe a series of conditions, from smelling wastes to negotiating military infrastructures, from biopolitical forms of colonial rule to experiences of governmental abandonment, from obvious targets of resistance to confusion over responsibility for the burdensome objects of daily life. Within this rubble, debris, and infrastructural fallout, West Bank Palestinians create a life under settler colonial rule. Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins focuses on waste as an experience of everyday life that is continuous with, but not a result only of, occupation. Tracing Palestinians' own experiences of wastes over the past decade, she considers how multiple authorities governing the West Bank—including municipalities, the Palestinian Authority, international aid organizations, NGOs, and Israel—rule by waste siege, whether intentionally or not. Her work challenges both common formulations of waste as "matter out of place" and as the ontological opposite of the environment, by suggesting instead that waste siege be understood as an ecology of "matter with no place to go." Waste siege thus not only describes a stateless Palestine, but also becomes a metaphor for our besieged planet.
