This book is a fast-paced and thorough re-evaluation of what heritage tourism means to the people who experience it. It draws on contemporary thinking in human geography and heritage studies, and applies it to a sector of tourism that is both pervasive yet poorly researched in terms of the perspective of tourists themselves. In a series of lucid and tightly argued chapters, it traces the use of semiotics as an analytical tool from its theoretical origins in text, through the all-important dynamics of visuality into an expanded realm of feeling and sensuality. Challenging assumptions about the way that heritage is experienced, this book uses examples from around the world to explore the semiotic landscape that surrounds heritage sites, linking what is represented about the past and how it feels to be there.

Die Frage nach den Weltbildern als einer fundamentalen Kategorie von Weltwahrnehmung wird in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften seit langer Zeit diskutiert. Dabei wurde immer wieder auch Gebrauch von Bildern gemacht, die das Weltbild einer bestimmten Kultur darzustellen versuchen. Nicht gefragt worden ist bislang, ob und in welchem Maß hierbei Visualität ein Aspekt von Weltbildern ist. Diese Frage ist inzwischen angesichts vielfältiger Entwicklungen in verschiedenen Wissenschaftsbereichen akut geworden. Zum einen wurde in den kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskussionen der vergangenen Jahre zunehmend deutlich, wie grundlegend die Bedeutung der Bildlichkeit für alle Bereiche der Weltwahrnehmung ist. Gleichzeitig hat die Entwicklung der Kognitionswissenschaften zu komplementären Einsichten aus naturwissenschaftlicher Sicht geführt. Der vorliegende Band versucht daher, diese verschiedenen Diskussionsstränge zusammenzuführen. Autoren aus Theologie und Byzantinistik, Wissenschafts- und Kunstgeschichte, Philosophie und Astrophysik repräsentieren die Diversität der methodischen und inhaltlichen Zugänge zu diesem Thema.

Offering an alternative and a complement to existing histories of diplomacy, this book discusses change in the form of 'tipping points', which it understands as the culmination of long-term trends. The book concludes by identifying the future of diplomacy as a struggle between state-to-state based diplomacy and diplomacy as networked global governance.

Both the identity of dance and that of theory are at risk as soon as the two intertwine. This anthology collects observations by choreographers and scholars, dancers, dramaturges and dance theorists in an effort to trace the multiple ways in which dance and theory correlate and redefine each other: What is the nature of their relationship? How can we outline a theory of dance from our particular historical perspective which will cover dance both as a practice and as an academic concept? The contributions examine which concepts, interdependencies and discontinuities of dance and theory are relevant today and promise to engage us in the future. They address crucial topics of the current debate in dance and performance studies such as artistic research, aesthetics, politics, visuality, archives, and the »next generation«. »Der Band sensibilisiert für den Preis der ›Übersichtlichkeit‹, wie sie typischerweise durch makrosoziologische Perspektiven erzeugt wird und präsentiert eine Vielzahl an bemerkenswerten Thesen und Beobachtungen.« Andrea Glauser, Soziologische Revue, 36 (2013) Reviewed in: etcetera, 135 (2013)

Analysing recent documentary films dealing with undocumented migration at the Schengen Area's fringes and against the backdrop of what has been termed the `European refugee crisis', Jan Kühnemund investigates the interface between migration discourses and image discourses. As an analytical framework, he conceptualises `Borderland Schengen' as a visual-political transnational space emerging from the interplay of migration movements and border policies. Putting the spaces and iconologies of `illegal' migration under scrutiny and aiming at establishing their protagonists as subjects, Kühnemund in this regard reads the films as attempts at discursive participation as an aesthetic political practice. Besprochen in: Eidgenössische Migrationskommission EKM, 4 (2018)
