Society is never just a localized aggregate of people but exists by virtue of its members' narrative and conceptual awareness of other times and places. In Jukka Siikala's work this idea evolves into a broad ethnographic and theoretical interest in worlds beyond the horizon, in the double sense of "past" and "abroad." This book is a tribute to Jukka's contributions to anthropology by his colleagues and students and marks his 60th birthday in January 2007. By exploring the near, distant, inward and outward horizons towards which societies project their reality, the authors aim at developing a new, productive language for addressing culture as a way of experiencing and engaging the world.

In this cultural anthropological examination Frauke Johanna Ahrens enquires into the scientific significance of the herbarium sheets of the Herbarium Göttingen in the period from 1832 to 1852. Based on a historical, object-focused ethnography and praxeology she itemizes how during the establishing phase of the collection institutionalized in 1832 the scientific practices and epistemic interests mutually influenced one another and found expression in the botanical specimens themselves. Each of the five chapters is dedicated to one practice - opening up the collection, ascribing values, acquiring plant material, doing research on herbarium sheets and teaching with herbarium sheets. Together with detailed object descriptions, the analysis emphasizes the materiality of knowledge in this way.

Unter dem Begriff der Aneignung werden verschiedene Formen der Übernahme urheberrechtlich geschützter Werke untersucht. Schon in den 1970ern nutzten Künstler der Appropriation Art Kopien für ihre Kunstwerke. Mit der Digitalisierung und der Partizipationskultur im Internet sind die Techniken der Appropriation Art demokratisiert und als Memes und GiFs Mittel der Massenkommunikation geworden. Diese Formen der Bildnutzungen – in der Appropriation Art und im Digitalen – werden urheberrechtlich bewertet. Dabei liegt ein Schwerpunkt der Arbeit darin, ob das geltende Urheberrecht der gesellschaftlichen Realität digitaler Kommunikation noch angemessen Rechnung tragen und wie rechtlicher Freiraum für Aneignungshandlungen geschaffen werden kann.
