Abstract

Witze machen einen ungewohnten Gebrauch von unseren Sprech- und Denkgewohnheiten. Sie bringen unsere Annahmen von der Welt in eine Schräglage und schlagen Funken aus der Materialität unserer Kommunikation. Haben Witze eine grundsätzliche Affinität zur Kunst? Die Beiträge fragen aus kunstwissenschaftlicher und philosophischer Perspektive nach der Beziehung zwischen dem Witz und den Künsten. So unbestreitbar der Unterhaltungswert von Witz ist, so umstritten ist heute sein künstlerischer Wert. Der auf Lachen abzielende Effekt gilt bestenfalls als angenehmes Beiwerk neben den ›eigentlichen‹ ästhetischen Qualitäten. Demgegenüber wird hier darüber nachgedacht, ob Witz nicht als genuine ästhetisch-philosophische Kategorie im Sprechen über Kunst begriffen werden kann. Mit Beiträgen von U. Blumenbach, S. Connor, S. Critchley, S. Foellmer, T. Hecken, C. Pareigis, S. Siegel u. a.

Abstract

"Le Cat walks" is both the catalogue of an extraordinary exhibition and an album of "Le Cat". Philippe Geluck relates its beginnings and then takes us behind the scenes of this colossal enterprise which began in 2018. But actually h's been quite obsessed with sculpture for decades now. As an opener for the upcoming "Museum of Le Cat and humorous art", Geluck has brought out hitherto unseen documents proving that he's actually been full of strange ideas for much longer than we might have imagined. This book contains all the secrets of this adventure : how an idea is born, how you make a 2-metre-high bronze sculpture, why there are 20 sculptures... It is ans album which exudes both humour and passion, by an artist who is himself so very... humorous and passionate.

Abstract

In this fresh, accessible, and beautifully illustrated book, his third to examine an aspect of Roman visual culture, John R. Clarke explores the question, "What made Romans laugh?" Looking at Laughter examines a heterogeneous corpus of visual material, from the crudely obscene to the exquisitely sophisticated and from the playful to the deadly serious—everything from street theater to erudite paintings parodying the emperor. Nine chapters, organized under the rubrics of Visual Humor, Social Humor, and Sexual Humor, analyze a wide range of visual art, including wall painting, sculpture, mosaics, and ceramics. Archaeological sites, as well as a range of ancient texts, inscriptions, and graffiti, provide the background for understanding the how and why of humorous imagery. This entertaining study offers fascinating insights into the mentality of Roman patrons and viewers who enjoyed laughing at the gods, the powers-that-be, and themselves.
