Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Today, when darkness of all kinds, cast by humans, is trying to prevail and is endangering prosperous life on the planet, we need a reflection on how to reconcile the darkness with light of living. Tatjana Capuder Vidmar examines four perspectives on the topic through four masterpieces of art: László Moholy-Nagy's »Das Lichtrequisit«, Daniel Libeskind's »Der Holocaust Turm«, Senenmut's »Temple of Queen Hatshepsut«, and Alvar Aalto's »Studio Aalto« in Helsinki. Architecture can contribute to a better world. To do so, architecture needs to be relational and sunlight has a special role in it. The volume is illustrated with the author's artworks, which are interpretations of beautiful light - shadow relations in tectonics of natural structures. 82 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -»Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge« is an academic journal in, on, and from the discipline of architecture, addressing the creation, constitution and transmission of architectural knowledge. It explores methods genuine to the discipline and architectural modes of interdisciplinary methodological adaptions. Processes, procedures and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attentiveness to the architectural design and epistemologies of aesthetic practice and research.»Prototypes as Instruments for Critical Practices«, issue 11/2026, edited by Hugo Mulder, Anne-Catrin Schulz, Filip Van de Voorde, and Isak Worre Foged, explores and documents prototypes as instruments and mediums that advance modes of collaboration and research methodologies, reaching across the academic and industry domains in architecture and engineering. The contributors uncover and showcase work that demonstrates an acute awareness of the urgency to slow down material and climate breakdown; work that critically engages with the frictions inherent in architectural and engineering practices. 242 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Societies have culturally framed and interacted with historical climate variability or anthropogenic climate change and climatic extremes in different ways, thereby becoming more or less vulnerable to the impacts of these events. This volume of the Handbook »The Anthropocene as Multiple Crisis« focuses on climate change and its socio-climatic and socio-environmental entanglements in the main macro-regions of Latin America from the colonial regime to the contemporary era of the Anthropocene. The contributions enrich contemporary debates surrounding the genealogy of the Anthropocene in Latin America with critical perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities. 462 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Despite ongoing secularization Bach's sacred music is more popular than ever before. How do we negotiate the tension between enjoying this music and struggling to connect with its Christian doctrinal content Using Habermas's concept of the post-secular as a translation of religious content that can enrich secular society, Jeroen van Gessel takes a closer look at complete recordings of Bach's cantatas, staged and filmed versions of the Passions and efforts to reenact performances from Bach's time. Based on these case studies he argues that contemporary performances of Bach's sacred music move ever further away from the original Christian context of this repertoire, but simultaneously try to hold on to it. 204 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -We don't know how to read contemporary art. Informed by hierarchically embedded narratives of the global, current frameworks to read contemporary art are spatially and temporally locked. Mansi Kashatria instead identifies the existence of deep trenches between institutional, curatorial, and artistic practices, and presents a register of radical nuisances that are attentive to hierarchies arranging people and knowledges. Exposing the dangers of digging into the past to rescue the future, the volume follows two institutions: Konsthall C in Stockholm and Kochi-Muziris Biennale in Kerala. In doing so, it reveals those languages that break the assumed wholeness of the global and tell us from where and for whom we reimagine and re-exist. 282 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -How do Black African diasporic literatures articulate the desire for elsewhere and the struggle to belong Drawing on a comparative corpus of texts written in French and Spanish, Nelson Sindze Wembe examines how migration, return, and disillusion shape diasporic subjectivities at the intersection of racialisation, alterity, and the politics of belonging. Conceptualising longing as a psychological and symbolic motor, he shows how it structures processes of affiliation, identity formation, and encounters with the Other. By foregrounding contradiction, ambivalence, and in-between positions, the study offers an original contribution to Black African diaspora studies and contemporary literary theory. 350 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Are design tools really neutral - or do they quietly shape what we create Bridging design theory and the philosophy of technology, Steffen Mitschelen reveals how tools actively influence creative thinking, design processes, and final outcomes. Moving beyond conventional software-centered perspectives, his study introduces a powerful framework for understanding the hidden agency of creative media. At its core is the innovative »Meta-Tool« method, which uses simple everyday materials to expose the mechanisms through which tools guide design. Based on eight hands-on workshops with design students, the volume uncovers 20 recurring patterns that open new paths for experimentation, reflection, and creative discovery. 268 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The debates surrounding the decentralization of academia in Germany can be illustrated using the example of African Studies. The contributors examine the history of the field while presenting concepts for its reconfiguration. Organized in the form of a glossary with a focus on African Studies and Bayreuth, it addresses themes such as intersectionality and decoloniality, memory and future-making, relationality and reflexivity, and diaspora and African nation states. This volume dedicated to Rüdiger Seesemann reflects his influential role in introducing »reconfiguration« to German academia and shaping institutional strategies for future scholarship.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Die Debatten rund um den Klimawandel befinden sich im Rückwärtsgang. Seit Beginn der 2020er-Jahre hat das Überschreiten der planetaren Grenzen an politischer Bedeutung verloren. Während für die einen nun alles verloren ist, sind andere entschlossen, mehr denn je zu mobilisieren. Wieder andere freuen sich über die Abkehr vom »woken Wahnsinn« zum »gesunden Menschenverstand«. Ist das »gute Leben für alle innerhalb ökologischer Grenzen« kein relevantes Ziel mehr Die Beiträger\*innen vermeiden schnelle Prognosen und moralische Appelle. Stattdessen analysieren sie aus verschiedenen sozialwissenschaftlichen Blickwinkeln die Gründe für den unerwarteten Sinkflug des ökologischen Projekts und erarbeiten so die Grundlage für eine Erneuerung. 296 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Die Zeitschrift für Medienwissenschaft steht für eine kulturwissenschaftlich orientierte Medienwissenschaft, die Untersuchungen zu Einzelmedien aufgreift und durchquert, um nach politischen Kräften und epistemischen Konstellationen zu fragen. Sie stellt Verbindungen zu internationaler Forschung ebenso her wie zu verschiedenen Disziplinen und bringt unterschiedliche Schreibweisen und Textformate, Bilder und Gespräche zusammen, um der Vielfalt, mit der geschrieben, nachgedacht und experimentiert werden kann, Raum zu geben.Der ZfM-Schwerpunkt Trans Media Studies versammelt Beiträge an der Schnittstelle von medienwissenschaftlicher Forschung undTrans Studies, die von beiden Feldern geteilte Fragen und Forderungen explorieren. Angesichts aktuell zunehmender transfeindlicher Politiken ist dies ein Vorhaben von besonderer (wissens-)politischer Dringlichkeit, bestimmen doch Mediatisierung, insbesondere (mediale) Sichtbarkeit und ihre Folgen, maßgeblich die Diskursivierung von trans\* Erfahrungen. Ferner fragt der Schwerpunkt danach, wie Trans Studies und Medienwissenschaft produktiv gemeinsam die spezifischen materiell-diskursiven, medialen und technologischen Konstellationen in den Blick nehmen können, die trans\* Erfahrungen, vergeschlechtlichtes Leben und Begehren formen und von denen sie geformt werden. 152 pp. Deutsch.…
