Abstract

Anthropocene, post-humanism, biopolitics ? These terms are often used first in an academic context before being used outside the academic world, once their usefulness has become known to the wider public. Whether in official policy documents, in catalogues of expositions or in applications for subsidies, these terms tend to show up regularly.In this book, 50 terms that are important in contemporary cultural theory are explained by experts in the field. They clarify what the term means, how it is used in different contexts and which discussions the term has triggered. Some of these terms refer to political issues (surveillance, political theology, multitude), gender and queer studies (post-feminism, heteronormativity, intersectionality), media theory (convergence, algorithm) or the art world (curating, participation, performance).This book functions as a compendium of key terms in contemporary cultural theory. It is of use for students in the humanities, but also for professionals in the cultural field.Bron : http://www.pelckmanspro.be

Abstract

Dit boek is een geschiedenis van de moderne filosofie en een zinnenprikkelende beschouwing ineen. Ger Groot laat zien en horen hoe wij, zelfbewuste én onzekere mensen aan het begin van de eenentwintigste eeuw, zijn geworden wie we zijn. Sinds Descartes heeft de radicale twijfel zijn intrede gedaan en is 'de geest uit de fles'. De filosofie van de afgelopen vier eeuwen laat zich beschrijven als één lange worsteling met de erfenis van de religie. Niet alleen de filosofie, maar de hele cultuur is van die worsteling doordrongen.

Abstract

Mies van der Rohe schuf zwischen 1910 und 1965 unter dem Einfluss von Dada, Konstruktivismus und De Stijl eine Vielzahl von Fotomontagen und Collagen, die die Gestaltungsprinzipien seiner Architektur verdeutlichen. Die meist grossformatigen Arbeiten sind jedoch weit mehr als skizzenhafte Begleiter architektonischer Entstehungsprozesse: Sie sind eigenständige Kunstwerke, die die baulichen Visionen des Architekten zeigen. Die Grenzen zwischen bildender Kunst und Architektur fliessen hier ineinander. Abrupte Blickwechsel, die Freiheit von Perspektive, Ort und Zeit, das Montieren von vorgefundenen Elementen und eine auf verschiedene Materialien konzentrierte Ästhetik, wie sie bei Mies zum Einsatz kommen, stehen in einem historischen Kontext zu anderen Künstlern.

Abstract

In many different parts of the world modern furniture elements have served as material expressions of power in the post-war era. They were often meant to express an international and in some respects apolitical modern language, but when placed in a sensitive setting or a meaningful architectural context, they were highly capable of negotiating or manipulating ideological messages. The agency of modern furniture was often less overt than that of political slogans or statements, but as the essays in this book reveal, it had the potential of becoming a persuasive and malleable ally in very diverse politically charged arenas, including embassies, governmental ministries, showrooms, exhibitions, design schools, libraries, museums and even prisons. This collection of essays examines the consolidating as well as the disrupting force of modern furniture in the global context between 1945 and the mid-1970s. The volume shows that key to understanding this phenomenon is the study of the national as well as transnational systems through which it was launched, promoted and received. While some essays squarely focus on individual furniture elements as vehicles communicating political and social meaning, others consider the role of furniture within potent sites that demand careful negotiation, whether between governments, cultures, or buyer and seller. In doing so, the book explicitly engages different scholarly fields: design history, history of interior architecture, architectural history, cultural history, diplomatic and political history, postcolonial studies, tourism studies, material culture studies, furniture history, and heritage and preservation studies. Taken together, the narratives and case studies compiled in this volume offer a better understanding of the political agency of post-war modern furniture in its original historical context. At the same time, they will enrich current debates on reuse, relocation or reproduction of some of these elements.

Abstract

Delving into the intersections between artistic images and philosophical knowledge in Europe from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries, The Art of Philosophy shows that the making and study of visual art functioned as important methods of philosophical thinking and instruction. From frontispieces of books to monumental prints created by philosophers in collaboration with renowned artists, Susanna Berger examines visual representations of philosophy and overturns prevailing assumptions about the limited function of the visual in European intellectual history. 

Rather than merely illustrating already existing philosophical concepts, visual images generated new knowledge for both Aristotelian thinkers and anti-Aristotelians, such as Descartes and Hobbes. Printmaking and drawing played a decisive role in discoveries that led to a move away from the authority of Aristotle in the seventeenth century. Berger interprets visual art from printed books, student lecture notebooks, alba amicorum (friendship albums), broadsides, and paintings, and examines the work of such artists as Pietro Testa, Léonard Gaultier, Abraham Bosse, Dürer, and Rembrandt. In particular, she focuses on the rise and decline of the "plural image," a genre that was popular among early modern philosophers. Plural images brought multiple images together on the same page, often in order to visualize systems of logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, or moral philosophy.
