What was it like to use and live with Etruscan pottery? Characterising that experience of Etruscan pottery is the concern of this book. More specifically, this volume aims to unpick both the physical encounter between vessel and hand, and the emotional interaction between the user of a pot and the images inscribed upon its surface.

The book is arranged in the form of a practical, build-it-yourself manual, complete with general technical information and advice for use in the field. The mobile poultry housing has been designed for extensive breeding with animals that have free access to open-air areas during the daytime. With a few simple operations the structure can be adapted for fattening poultry, breeding poultry and chickens; the capacities indicated refer to the European "organic" regulations adopted by Italy. The manual guides the constructor step by step, so that the mobile housing can be built even by those who do not have particular knowledge or skill in wood carpentry; a special section is devoted to safety during work. Finally, there are also a series of recommendations about the positioning of the housing on the land and the completion works necessary to set it in operation.

"The art of the human body is arguably the most important and wide-ranging legacy bequeathed to us by Classical antiquity. Not only has it directed the course of western image-making, it has shaped our collective cultural imaginary - as ideal, antitype, and point of departure. This book is the first concerted attempt to grapple with that legacy: it explores the complex relationship between Graeco-Roman images of the body and subsequent western engagements with them, from the Byzantine icon to Venice Beach (and back again). Instead of approaching his material chronologically, Michael Squire faces up to its inherent modernity. Writing in a lively and accessible style, and supplementing his text with a rich array of pictures, he shows how Graeco-Roman images inhabit our world as if they were our own. The Art of the Body offers a series of comparative and thematic accounts, demonstrating the range of cultural ideas and anxieties that were explored through the figure of the body both in antiquity and in the various cultural landscapes that came afterwards. If we only strip down our aesthetic investment in the corpus of Graeco-Roman imagery, Squire argues, this material can shed light on both ancient and modern thinking. The result is a stimulating process of mutual illumination - and an exhilarating new approach to Classical art history."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"This book explores Symbolist artists' fascination with ancient Greek art and myth, and how the erotic played a major role in this. For a brief period at the end of the 19th century the Symbolist movement inspired artists to turn inwards to the unconscious mind, endeavouring to unveil the secrets of human nature through their symbolic art. But above all their greatest interest, and fear, was man (and woman's) sexuality. Building upon the traditions of Academic neoclassicism, but fired with a new zeal, they turned back to Greek art and myth for inspiration"--

This volume presents the first comprehensive academic study of the history and development of performance art in the former communist countries of Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe since the 1960s. Covering 21 countries and more than 250 artists, this text demonstrates the manner in which performance art in the region developed concurrently with the genre in the West, highlighting the unique contributions of Eastern European artists. The discussions are based on primary source material-interviews with the artists themselves. It offers a comparative study of the genre of performance art in countries and cities across the region, examining the manner in which artists addressed issues such as the body, gender, politics and identity, and institutional critique.

Un corps en jeu est un corps qui tient un discours visuel et sonore, se présente et se représente en mobilisant toutes ses capacités motrices (gestuelle, regard, respiration, voix), un corps qui construit un langage où l'apparence, qu'il s'agisse d'un dévoilement ou d'un déguisement, dit, trahit, contredit une vérité humaine, sociale ou politique dans une société donnée. C'est un corps dont les modalités d'exposition s'inscrivent sur un fond de consensus culturel pour produire un sens nouveau, que seul le contexte de la représentation rend déchiffrable. L'objet du colloque international qui s'est tenu à l'université de Toulouse II en octobre 2008 était d'envisager, pour l'Antiquité, cette question, sous ses aspects les plus divers, parfois les plus contradictoires. Un corps en jeu dans l'Antiquité se donnait à voir dans un contexte particulier, qui pouvait être celui de la scène, du stade ou de la cité, dans le cadre de manifestations fondées sur une représentation de soi et des autres, toujours en « s'adressant à » un public. Il ne s'agissait donc pas, à travers les différentes interventions, de disséquer ou de décrypter le sens de gestes, de déguisements ou de postures, mais d'analyser finement la relation établie par le jeu du corps avec un public spectateur, auditeur, lecteur. Les liens complexes et variables qu'entretenaient en effet oralité et écrit (discours de l'orateur, texte des représentations) impliquaient que soient également pris en compte non seulement les documents iconographiques et historiques susceptibles d'éclairer la réflexion, mais aussi les textes, poétiques, rhétoriques, philosophiques proposant une interprétation imagée et toujours orientée, de corps en jeu.

Was passiert, wenn man das Funktionsprinzip des menschlichen Ohrs in den Nanometerbereich übersetzt, eine wissensarchitektonische Karte in einer Lecture Performance entworfen wird oder sich Forschende aus mehr als 25 Disziplinen mit Strukturen und Modellen auseinandersetzen? Welche neuen Erkenntnisse bringt die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Biomorphologie und Kunstgeschichte, Medienwissenschaft und Medizin? Und was können die Gestaltungsdisziplinen Design und Architektur zur Grundlagenforschung beitragen? Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge aus dem Exzellenzcluster Bild Wissen Gestaltung und beleuchtet im Fokus der drei titelgebenden Schlagwörter die Produktivität der vielfältigen Forschungsansätze: vom Methodentransfer zwischen den beteiligten Einzeldisziplinen bis hin zum interdisziplinären Entwurf neuer Wissens- und Forschungsstrukturen.
