Gegenwärtig lässt sich in unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Diskursfeldern eine Bezugnahme auf das Motiv der ,Vanitas' (Vergänglichkeit) feststellen.Die Beiträge dieses Band widmen sich der überraschenden Virulenz eines ursprünglich christlichen und in der Frühen Neuzeit wirkmächtigen Konzeptes in Popkultur, Literatur, Musik und bildender Kunst und verdeutlichen ferner seine Relevanz für Soziologie, Theologie, Philosophie, Psychologie und Medizin. Bedeutung erlangt Vanitas sowohl mit traditionell dem Motiv verwandten Themen wie Trauer und Mortalität als auch in Verbindung mit hochaktuellen Diskursen über Beschleunigungs- und Kontingenzerfahrungen, dystopischen Szenarien der Klimakatastrophe oder utopischen Visionen des Transhumanismus. Neben soziologischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven auf Vergänglichkeit, Flüchtigkeit, letale Krankheiten, Alter und Tod widmen sich die Beiträge der popkulturellen und künstlerischen Aneignung des Vanitas-Topos zwischen spielerischer Ironie und tiefsinniger Melancholie.Der interdisziplinäre Band ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zur gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Reflexion von Gegenwart unter Bezugnahme auf einen tradierten kulturtheoretischen Topos. This interdisciplinary volume delves into the significance of the early modern vanitas motif in the present day. In the arts, pop culture, and social discourses, it is utilized to make cultural-critical diagnoses. Reflections about the mortality of human life, about decadence and conceit, or the futile pursuit of happiness are updated, but they are joined by new topics such as climate change and transhumanism.

Marres' projects focus on the senses, the vocabularies of the body, and have an emphasis on experience. The publication 'Sensing Art, Training the Body' highlights this exhibition and training program. This book brings together a collection of 12 of the popular cahiers that Marres publishes for each exhibition between 2017 and 2021. Each presents a variation on the traditional visitors' catalogue: some cahiers contain explanatory texts and images, others are picture pamphlets, and yet others take the form of a fold out art poster. It includes The Painted Bird (2017), Dreaming Awake (2018) and Museum Motus Mori (2019) and many others. In addition to the cahiers, this publication also offers a broad selection of exhibition images and two new essays. Publicist Edo Dijksterhuis writes about Marres' full-environment art installations and anthropologist and medical doctor Anna Harris writes about the Training the Senses program. Sensing Art, Training the Body forms a compendium to The Collection that compiled all the 11 cahiers between 2013 and 2017. Sensing Art, Training the Body is available with five different cover images from five different exhibitions: Dreaming Awake (1), Museum Motus Mori (2), Marijn van Kreij: Nude in the Studio (3), The Floor is Lava (4) and Marres Movements (5) .

With the Christian church in the west in decline, some churches are undergoing difficult transitions as they seek to become relevant, to both themselves and their surrounding cultures. Evangelicalism and the Emerging Church details an ethnographic study of a Vineyard congregation making sense of their Vineyard roots and their growing relationship with the self-proclaimed "emerging church" network. Through a rich account of congregational life and tensions, universal issues are raised such as relating to religious parentage, creating safe places for spirituality, Christian growth and maturity, communication with contemporary culture, and the challenges of identity reconstruction. This book is the first to conduct an academic study of a Vineyard congregation in the United Kingdom.
