(English / German)
The terms "figure" and "ground" became fundamental to art-historical analysis and writing over the course of the twentieth century. But is this dichotomy suited to describe premodern art and artifacts? In Between Figure and Ground: Seeing in Premodernity, essays by Claudia Bl�mle, Gottfried Boehm, P�ter Bokody, Beate Fricke, Bruno Haas, David Young Kim, Aden Kumler, Christopher Lakey, Karin Leonhard, J�rgen M�ller, Veronica Peselmann, Christoph Poetsch, Raphael Rosenberg, Tom Steinert, Nicola Suthor, Noa Turel, and Saskia C. Quen� call into question long-standing habits of seeing and understanding figure-ground relations, expand art-historical vocabularies, and productively challenge anachronistic attachments to modernist paradigms. Offering new approaches and methodological reflections from art history and theory, Bildwissenschaft, and art historiography, this volume provides stimulating answers to the question:　What can be seen and described between premodern figures and grounds?

seeing and understanding figure-ground relations

„Figur" und „Grund" sind zentrale Begriffe der Kunstwissenschaft. Sie entstammen jedoch einer Kunstgeschichte der Moderne. Inwiefern diese dichotomen Leitbegriffe des Sehens auch geeignete Leitbegriffe einer Kunstgeschichte der Vormoderne sein k�nnen, ist jedoch weitgehend unhinterfragt geblieben. Dieser Band stellt mit Beitr�gen von Claudia Bl�mle, Gottfried Boehm, P�ter Bokody, Beate Fricke, Bruno Haas, David Young Kim, Aden Kumler, Christopher Lakey, Karin Leonhard, J�rgen M�ller, Veronica Peselmann, Christoph Poetsch, Raphael Rosenberg, Tom Steinert, Nicola Suthor, Noa Turel und Saskia C. Quen� etablierte Sehgewohnheiten in Frage und fordert anachronistische Bindungen an modernistische Paradigmen heraus. Bildtheoretische, kunsthistorische, historiographische und methodologische Ans�tze stehen dabei gleicherma�en zur Debatte. Was l�sst sich zwischen Figur und Grund sehen und beschreiben?
