Magische Bilder werden gemeinhin frühen Epochen oder »primitiven« Kulturstufen der Menschheit zugewiesen. Seit der Antike sind Bildbestrafungen bekannt, bei denen die magische Präsenz des Menschen im Kunstwerk angenommen wird. Doch die historischen Bilderstürme haben selbst in unserer aufgeklärten Gegenwart ein faszinierendes Nachleben, etwa in den Attacken auf Denkmäler oder Wahlplakate. Das afrikanische Kultobjekt, das wundertätige Madonnenbild und der Talisman, aber auch das bildliche Substitut eines Rock- oder Filmstars, der im Bild verehrt wird - sie alle stellen die Forschung vor vergleichbare Herausforderungen. Der vorliegende Band untersucht magische Bilder in anthropologischer sowie medialer Perspektive und kommt so der Frage näher zu, was ein Kunstwerk zum magischen Bild macht. Works of art and cult objects with a magical effect

This book-the first commentary on Ernst Cassirer's Metaphysics of Symbolic Forms-provides an introduction to the metaphysical views that underlie the philosopher's conceptions of symbolic form and human culture. Thora Ilin Bayer focuses on the meaning of Cassirer's claim that philosophy is not itself a symbolic form but the thought around which all aspects of human activity are seen as a whole. Underlying the symbolic forms are Cassirer's two metaphysical principles, spirit (Geist) and life, which interact to produce the reality of the human world. Bayer shows how these two principles of Cassirer's early philosophy are connected with the phenomenology of his later philosophy, which centers on his conception of "basis phenomena"-self, will, and work.

This ambitious work reclassifies and restructures the history of ideas and the philosophy of culture through a wide-ranging and novel use of the idea of the organon. It does so by radically revising standard interpretations and theories of all branches of philosophy, and by providing an intellectual and philosophical foundation for the new organon of the cultural sciences. Furthermore, the seeded idea that saw its growth in the form of this book is the unshakable conviction that the only way ...

This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction.For ""classic"" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the m
