Abstract

Usable Pasts addresses projects dating to two periods in the United States that saw increased financial support from the state for socially engaged culture. By analysing artworks dating to the 1990s by Suzanne Lacy, Rick Lowe and Martha Rosler in relation to experimental theatre, modern dance, and photography produced within the leftist Cultural Front of the 1930s, this book unpicks the mythic and material afterlives of the New Deal in American cultural politics in order to write a new history of social practice art in the United States. From teenage mothers organising exhibitions that challenged welfare reform, to communist dance troupes choreographing their struggles as domestic workers, Usable Pasts addresses the aesthetics and politics of these attempts to transform society through art in relation to questions of state formation.

Abstract

Der vorliegende Band perspektiviert erstmals interdisziplinäre Beiträge aus dem Feld der Vormoderne im Hinblick auf die für unterschiedliche Bildphänomene entscheidende Dynamik von Enthüllen/Verbergen und präsentiert so unterschiedliche Zugänge, die das Thema für die Vormoderne als ein zentrales Moment fruchtbar machen: für Bildpraktiken in ihren unmittelbaren sozialen, religiösen und historischen Zusammenhängen ebenso wie für die begriffsgeschichtliche Relevanz von Enthüllen/Verbergen, die letztlich darüber entscheidet, was im jeweiligen, kulturellen Kontext Bild ist. Als Versuch eines vormodernen Panoramas der substantiellen Bewegung von Enthüllen/Verbergen versammelt der Band Beiträge aus den Bereichen der Sinologie, Ägyptologie, der Iranistik, Alt-Philologie, Philosophie und der mittelalterlichen und islamischen Kunstgeschichte.

Abstract

Der Band geht der wechselseitigen Durchdringung von visuellen Künsten und Naturwissenschaften bzw. Naturphilosophie im Kontext der europäischen Romantik nach. Die Romantik als eine geistige Bewegung entfaltete sich in Europa auf Grundlage der allgemeinen Überzeugung, dass Kunst eine Form von Wissenschaft sei und umgekehrt. Viele Dichter und Künstler sowie Naturwissenschaftler waren bestrebt, empirische und kreative Formen der Welterkundung miteinander zu verbinden. Die Aufsätze in diesem Sammelband untersuchen die Entstehung einer „romantischen Wissenschaft“ und ihre Beziehung zur bildenden Kunst, worin objektive und subjektive Formen der Forschung gleichgestellt wurden.

Abstract

The Alchemical Actor - Performing the Great Work: Imagining Alchemical Theatre offers an imagination for new theatre inspired by the directives of Antonin Artaud. The alchemical four elements - earth, water, air and fire and four alchemical stages - nigredo, albedo, citrino and rubedo perform initiatory steps in the practice of alchemical transformational consciousness. The depth psychological work of Carl G. Jung, theatre techniques of Michael Chekhov, Rudolf Steiner, William Shakespeare and others compose this 'Great Work'. Jane Gilmer conjures the magical unknown leading the reader through material cognition towards gold-making heart-thinking - key to new and future theatre.

Abstract

In Central Asia, Muslim shrines have served as community centers for centuries, particularly the large urban shrines that seem, in many cases, to have served as the inspiration as well for a city's architectural development. In Four Central Asian Shrines: A Socio-Political History of Architecture R. D. McChesney documents the histories of four such long-standing shrines-Gur-i Mir at Samarqand, Khwajah Abu Nasr Parsa Mazar at Balkh, the Noble Rawzah at Mazar-i Sharif, and the Khirqat al-Nabi at Qandahar. In all four cases the creation and evolution of the architecture of these shrines is traced through narratives about their social and political histories and in the past century and a half, through the photographic record.

Abstract

Seit über 25 Jahren erforscht die Paderborner Stadtarchäologie die Frühgeschichte der Stadt. Mit dem inzwischen vierten Stadtarchäologieband in der Reihe der MittelalterStudien zieht sie erneut Bilanz und berichtet über neue Forschungsergebnisse. Ein Schwerpunkt des Buches sind die Ausgrabungen der Jahre 2004 bis 2008 im Domkloster und in einem Areal des Busdorfstiftes. Dabei konnten erstmals die Überreste früher Kurien der Dom- und Stiftsherren identifiziert und untersucht werden. Ferner beleuchten vertiefende Untersuchungen das frühstädtische Umfeld des Bischofssitzes und seine Entwicklung zu einer befestigten mittelalterlichen Stadt mit festgefügten Hausstätten.

Abstract

For the contributors to In Fashion: Culture, Commerce, Craft, and Identity being "in fashion" is about self-presentation; defining how fashion is presented in the visual, written, and performing arts; and about design, craft, manufacturing, packaging, marketing and archives. The book's international cast of authors engage "in" fashion from various disciplinary, professional, and creative perspectives; i.e., anthropology, archaeology, art history, cultural studies, design, environmental studies, fashion studies, history, international relations, literature, marketing, philosophy, sociology, technology, and theatre. In Fashion has five sections: • Fashioning Representations: Texts, Images, and Performances; • Fashionable: Shopping, Luxury, and Vintage; • Fashion's Materials: Craft, Industry, and Innovation; • Museum Worthy: Fashion and the Archive; • Fashioning Cultural Identities: Case Studies.

Abstract

Religious Narratives in Contemporary Culture: Between Cultural Memory and Transmediality analyses the meaning and role of religion in western cultural practices in the twenty-first century. This inquiry situates itself at the intersection between cultural memory studies and the transmedial study of narrative and art. Contributors focus on genres which have yet to receive significant critical attention within the field, including speculative fiction films and television series, autobiographical prose and poetry, action-adventure video games and heavy metal music. In this time of crisis, where traces of religious thinking still persist in the presence or absence of religious faith, this volume's collective look into some of their cultural embodiments is necessary and timely. The volume is addressed primarily to scholars and students interested in intersections between religious and cultural studies, revisions of traditional religious narratives, literature as a space of reflection on today's world, contemporary media studies and remediation.
