The notion of the symbol is at the root of the Symbolist movement, but this symbol is different from the way it was used and understood in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In the Symbolist movement, a symbol is not an allegory. The Belgian writer Maurice Maeterlinck defined its essence in an article that appeared on April 24, 1887, in L'Art moderne. He wrote that the notion of a symbol in the Symbolist movement is the opposite of the notion of the symbol in classical usage: instead of going f...

Using archaeology and social anthropology, and more than 100 original line drawings and photographs, An Archaeology of Images takes a fresh look at how ancient images of both people and animals were used in the Iron Age and Roman societies of Europe, 600 BC to AD 400 and investigates the various meanings with which images may have been imbued.The book challenges the usual interpretation of statues, reliefs and figurines as passive things to be looked at or worshipped, and reveals them instead as active artefacts designed to be used, handled and broken. It is made clear that the placi

Die Wiederholung des in Antike und Barock verankerten Vanitas-Motivs in der Kultur der Gegenwart mag anachronistisch anmuten. Dabei passt sie nicht nur zu einer Reihe anderer, aktueller Praxen, Vanitas thematisiert selbst bereits Wiederholung als das, was dann erst seit dem 19. Jahrhundert kontrovers diskutiert wurde: dass sie eine zentrale Rolle bei der Verhandlung von Identität, bei der Situierung des Selbst in der Geschichte, bei der Wiederkehr und Transformation des Verdrängen und Verschütteten oder der Beurteilung des Selben im Anderen spielt. All das zeigt sich, sobald eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Wiederholung der Vanitas - dem zumindest in der westlichen Kultur zentralen Entwurf über Vergänglichkeit und Vergeblichkeit - aus philosophischer, kulturtheoretischer, psychoanalytischer sowie kunst-und literaturwissenschaftlicher Sicht unternommen und überdies mit fernöstlichen Vorstellungen konfrontiert wird. Aktuelle Bearbeitungen der Vanitas positionieren sich selbstreflexiv, kritisch und politisch; damit entfalten sie Potenziale des Motivs, die immer schon angelegt waren, aber womöglich erst jetzt realisierungsbedürftig sind. Vanitas does not just address ephemerality but also the relationship of the self to history; it negotiates identity and positions itself both self-critically and politically. In which contexts does contemporary culture take up this established motif of antiquity and the early modern period? Interdisciplinary considerations show how productive it can be to answer this question by reflecting on it in light of discussions about repetition.
