Описание:
Anthropology is a notoriously polysemous term. Within a continental European academic context, it is usually employed in the sense of philosophical anthropology, and mainly concerned with exploring concepts of a universal human nature. By contrast, Anglo-American scholarship almost exclusively associates anthropology with the investigation of cultural and ethnic differences (cultural anthropology). How these two main traditions (and their 'derivations' such as literary anthropology, historical anthropology, ethnology, ethnography, intercultural studies) relate to each other is a matter of debate. Both, however, have their roots in the path-breaking changes that occurred within sixteenth and early seventeenth-century culture and scientific discourse. It was in fact during this period that the term anthropology first acquired the meanings on which its current usage is based. The Renaissance did not 'invent' the human. But the period that gave rise to 'humanism' witnessed an unprecedented diversification of the concept that was at its very core. The question of what defines the human became increasingly contested as new developments like the emergence of the natural sciences, religious pluralisation, as well as colonial expansion, were undermining old certainties. The proliferation of doctrines of the human in the early modern age bears out the assumption that anthropology is a discipline of crisis, seeking to establish sets of common values and discursive norms in situations when authority finds itself under pressure.
“Inframince”, a term coined by Marcel Duchamp, refers to ephemeral, ultra-thin, and undecidable phenomena – such as the warmth that remains on a chair after a person gets up. In this book, “inframince” is taken to signify forms of transdisciplinarity in contemporary art.
Authors and visual artists capture in text and image fleeting moments in which artistic, theoretical, scientific, or everyday cultural elements meet, change, or merge with one another.
Numerous examples of artistic and teaching practice within the discipline of TransArts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna vividly reveal how these manifold transgressions can be rendered productive.

Описание:
During the uprisings of the Arab Spring between 2010 and 2012, oppositional movements used political humor to criticize political leaders or to expose the absurdities of the socio-political conditions. These humorous expressions in various art forms such as poetry, stand-up comedy, street art, music, caricatures, cartoons, comics and puppet shows were further distributed in the social media. This first comprehensive study of political humor in the uprisings explores the varieties and functions of political humor as a creative tool for resistance. It analyzes humorous forms of cultural expression and their impact on socio-political developments in different countries of the Middle East and North Africa with a special focus on the changing modes of humor.

Описание: Sceptical Paths offers a fresh look at key junctions in the history of scepticism. Throughout this collection, key figures are reinterpreted, key arguments are reassessed, lesser-known figures are reintroduced, accepted distinctions are challenged, and new ideas are explored. The historiography of scepticism is usually based on a distinction between ancient and modern. The former is understood as a way of life which focuses on enquiry, whereas the latter is taken to be an epistemological approach which focuses on doubt. The studies in Sceptical Paths not only deepen the understanding of these approaches, but also show how ancient sceptical ideas find their way into modern thought, and modern sceptical ideas are anticipated in ancient thought. Within this state of affairs, the presence of sceptical arguments within Medieval philosophy is reflected in full force, not only enriching the historical narrative, but also introducing another layer to the sceptical discourse, namely its employment within theological settings. The various studies in this book exhibit the rich variety of expression in which scepticism manifests itself within various context and set against various philosophical and religious doctrines, schools, and approaches.
The Second World War is omnipresent in contemporary memory debates. As the war fades from living memory, this study is the first to systematically analyze how Second World War museums allow prototypical visitors to comprehend and experience the past. It analyzes twelve permanent exhibitions in Europe and North America – including the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden, the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk, the House of European History in Brussels, the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester, and the National WWII Museum in New Orleans – in order to show how museums reflect and shape cultural memory, as well as their cognitive, ethical, emotional, and aesthetic potential and effects. This includes a discussion of representations of events such as the Holocaust and air warfare. In relation to narrative, memory, and experience, the study develops the concept of experientiality (on a sliding scale between mimetic and structural forms), which provides a new textual-spatial method for reading exhibitions and understanding the experiences of historical individuals and collectives. It is supplemented by concepts like transnational memory, empathy, and encouraging critical thinking through difficult knowledge.

Описание: Der dritte Band des philosophischen Briefwechsels umfasst die Jahre von 1695 bis einschlie?lich 1700. Er dokumentiert damit aus der Perspektive der wissenschaftlichen Korrespondenz jene bedeutende Phase, in der Leibniz, in Vertiefung der Auseinandersetzung mit der cartesianischen Philosophie, bei der Fundierung und Ausformulierung seiner physikalischen und metaphysischen Theorien einen Punkt erreicht, der es ihm ermoglicht, mit seinem nun auch explizit als ein solches bezeichnetem System an die Offentlichkeit zu treten. Dies geschieht, die enge Verbindung von Kraft- und Substanzbegriff und damit von Dynamik und Metaphysik belegend, in zwei zeitnah 1695 erscheinenden Schriften, dem „Specimen dynamicum“ und dem „Systeme nouveau de la nature et de la communication des substances“, deren Thesen in mehreren Korrespondenzen (J. Chr. Sturm, Basnage, Cousin, Foucher) intensiv diskutiert werden. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die 1698 beginnende Korrespondenz mit Bucher de Volder, die, thematisch vom Kraft- zum Substanzbegriff ubergehend, als eine der wichtigsten Quellen fur das Verstandnis der entwickelten Metaphysik von Leibniz gelten kann, sowie der ebenfalls im vorliegenden Band beginnende Schriftwechsel mit Gabriel Wagner, in dessen Verlauf Leibniz seinen beruhmten Logikbrief zur Verteidigung derselben schreibt. Insgesamt werden neben vielfaltigsten Nova Literaria (Nicaise, Fardella, Placcius) zentrale Themenkomplexe der Leibniz’schen Philosophie verhandelt: menschliche Freiheit und Theodizee (Dobrzenski), Cabbala und nichtmechanistische Naturerklarung (F. M. van Helmont), Mathematik und Metaphysik (Schulenburg), Logik und juristische Hermeneutik (Lungershausen), Mathematik und Theologie (H. Horch). Die immer wieder verbluffende Vielfalt der zeitgleich in den verschiedenen Korrespondenzen angesprochenen Themenfelder kommt auch zum Ausdruck, wenn Leibniz im September 1695 Placcius gegenuber betont, „... ich habe so viel Neues in der Mathematik, so viele Gedanken in der Philosophie und so viele andere literarische Beobachtungen …, dass ich oft nicht wei?, was ich zuerst tun soll.“ Dass er am Ende des im vorliegenden Band dokumentierten Zeitraums mit den Ergebnissen seiner Arbeit gleichwohl nicht unzufrieden war, belegt eine Au?erung vom 15. Februar 1701, in der er gegenuber Bouvet ruckblickend mit Bezug auf seine Philosophie sagt: „Vous ne scauries croire, combien j’ay avance la dedans; j’ay des demonstrations en Metaphysique dont on n’a point encor vu de semblables.“

Описание: Der Erste Nil-Katarakt stellt in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Ungewohnlich reiche Landschaft fur die Untersuchung der verschiedensten Epochen und Kulturen dar. Vor dem Hintergrund verbindender wie trennender naturraumlicher Faktoren vollzieht sich der kulturelle Wandel und kann uber einen Zeitraum von mehr als 5000 Jahre verfolgt werden. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes beleuchten dies von den unterschiedlichsten Blickwinkeln und den Methoden verschiedener Disziplinen. Beginnend mit den jungsten Ergebnissen zur Zuzugsgeschichte des Niltals werden soziologische Ansatze, archaologische Berichte aus aktuellen Ausgrabungen und philologische Einzelstudien zu Personengruppen und Zeitepochen bis in das 15. Jh. hinein ausgefuhrt. Die Beitrage geben so einen Eindruck von den Moglichkeiten, die diese Region fur eine moderne, epochenubergreifende Kulturgeschichte bietet. Sie gehen auf ein Internationales Symposium im September 2007 in Berlin zuruck und wurden fur die vorliegende Veroffentlichung aktualisiert.

Описание: Modern science is, to a large extent, a model-building activity. But how are models contructed? How are they related to theories and data? How do they explain complex scientific phenomena, and which role do computer simulations play here? These questions have kept philosophers of science busy for many years, and much work has been done to identify modeling as the central activity of theoretical science. At the same time, these questions have been addressed by methodologically-minded scientists, albeit from a different point of view. While philosophers typically have an eye on general aspects of scientific modeling, scientists typically take their own science as the starting point and are often more concerned with specific methodological problems. There is, however, also much common ground in middle, where philosophers and scientists can engage in a productive dialogue, as the present volume demonstrates. To do so, the editors of this volume have invited eight leading scientists from cosmology, climate science, social science, chemical engeneering and neuroscience to reflect upon their modeling work, and eight philosophers of science to provide a commentary.

Описание: Images play a key role for scholarly work in many ways – they facilitate communication and support understanding or make research results look more appealing. At the same time powerful image-editing programs have profoundly changed how image manipulations are perceived today. This book explores how scholars from different domains conceive image manipulation. The study is based on research carried out at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory Image Knowledge Gestaltung at Humboldt University Berlin. Informants from the field of biology, computer science, art history and design explain how they differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate image manipulation. Furthermore these experts report on whether guidelines or practical logics shape their work with images.
