    In the 'life' of technical objects and infrastructures repair and maintenance are central practices, both economically and culturally. This book foregrounds these activities, rarely examined until now, and looks into the forms of knowledge of different cultures of repair. In the process, the expertise and political ambitions of human actors receive as much consideration as the internal dynamics of the objects themselves. The articles focus on practices such as watch or computer repair, as well as on spaces such as the home, the hospital, the Repair Cafe, and the city of the 'Global South'. In addition, the book also investigates the extent to which repair and repair-friendly design can contribute to more sustainability. Reparieren und Instandhalten sind ökonomisch wie kulturell zentrale Praktiken im »Leben« technischer Dinge und Infrastrukturen. Der Band rückt diese bislang wenig untersuchten Tätigkeiten in den Vordergrund und fragt nach den Wissensformen der unterschiedlichen Kulturen des Reparierens. Die Expertisen und politischen Ambitionen menschlicher Akteure finden dabei ebenso Berücksichtigung wie die Eigendynamik der Dinge. Die Beiträge untersuchen Praktiken wie die Uhr- oder Computerreparatur sowie Räume wie die Wohnung und das Krankenhaus, das Repair Café und die Stadt des Globalen Südens. Nicht zuletzt geht es um die Frage, inwiefern Reparieren und reparaturfreundliches Design zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit beitragen können.

    Between 2014 and 2017, the artistic research project "TransCoding – From 'Highbrow Art' to Participatory Culture" encouraged creative participation in multimedia art via social media. Based on the artworks that emerged from the project, Barbara Lüneburg investigates authorship, authority, motivational factors, and aesthetics in participatory art created with the help of web 2.0 technology. The interdisciplinary approach includes perspectives from sociology, cultural and media studies, and offers an exclusive view and analysis from the inside through the method of artistic research. In addition, the study documents selected community projects and the creation processes of the artworks Slices of Life and Read me.

    Philosophers and rappers jointly explore in discussions, texts, songs, comments and spontaneous associations what philosophy of hip-hop means, the focus being on living philosophyzing. Philosophyzing in the sense of hip-hop requires getting personally involved. What is dreaded is not amateurism but copying the thoughts of others. In the confrontation with the thoughts of others, your own thoughts flash through your head. Authenticity, respectively realness and creativity: These are the ethical values of hip-hop. The philosophy of hip-hop does not mean talking philosophy but doing philosophy – namely when facing the challenges of modern life. The philosophy of hip-hop means performing what's happening. In Gesprächen, mit Texten, Songs, Kommentaren und durch spontane Assoziationen loten Philosoph*innen und Rapper*innen (Megaloh, Sookee, Spax u.a.) miteinander aus, was Philosophie des HipHop heißt. Dabei geht es um lebendiges Philosophieren. Philosophieren im Sinne des HipHop verlangt, sich selbst aktiv einzubringen. Eigene Gedanken blitzen auf in der Konfrontation mit den Gedanken anderer. Authentizität bzw. Realness und Kreativität: das sind die Leitwerte des HipHop. Philosophie des HipHop bedeutet nicht talking philosophy, sondern doing philosophy, und zwar in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Philosophie des HipHop heißt: Performen, was an der Zeit ist.

    What are the possibilities for shaping the modern individual offered by transdifferent moments? This book sheds light on the overcoming of social borders in the cultural context of the late Habsburg Monarchy. Mit dem Konzept der Transdifferenz lassen sich konventionelle Differenzierungen in Bezug auf Gender, Ethnizität, Klasse, Generation, Nation und andere soziale Kategorien kritisch hinterfragen. Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger zeigen, dass transdifferente Momente auf die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten des modernen Individuums im gesellschaftlichen Umbruch der späten Habsburger Monarchie hinweisen. Dabei wird die Überschreitung genderspezifischer, ethnischer und anderer sozialer Grenzen in der Eliten- und Massenkultur analysiert. Aus literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive betrachtet, lassen sich diese Momente unter anderem auch für Fragen der Kanonisierung, Mehrsprachigkeit und Transkulturalität fruchtbar machen. Der Band erschließt in Vergessenheit geratene literarische Werke und reflektiert unterschiedliche Lebensformen der Moderne.

    Whether neo-cybernetics, group therapy or environmental protection: an aesthetic-literary and political genealogy of popular education and government programs during the Cold War. Ob Neokybernetik, Computer-, Sprach- oder Sound-Experiment, ob Brainstorming, Lernumgebung oder Konferenz, Gruppendynamik oder Umweltschutz – zahlreiche populäre Verfahren der 1960er und 1970er Jahre erzählen von medialer und humaner Transformation. Der Band geht der ästhetischen und politischen Genealogie dieser Bildungs-, Erziehungs- und Regierungsprogramme nach, indem er Verhaltenslehren der europäischen Literaturgeschichte mit medien- und designtheoretischen Diskursen konfrontiert. Dabei erlaubt er auch einen Blick hinter den ›eisernen Vorhang‹ aktueller Programme, die unter dem Diktum von Kreativität, Katastrophe oder Komplexität weiterhin bilden, erziehen und regieren. Mit Beiträgen aus Designtheorie, Literatur-, Medien-, Kultur- und Bildwissenschaft.

    Things are not as nonpolitical as they seem: This book illuminates the hidden meanings and ambiguities of objects – an important contribution to the research on material everyday culture! Die Zuverlässigkeit alltäglicher Dinge ist eines der Fundamente der Orientierung in unserer Lebenswelt. Viele Gegenstände offenbaren jedoch auf den zweiten Blick andere, oftmals ganz unerwartete Eigenschaften. Diese zeigen sich in neuen Umgangsweisen, führen zu neuen Kontexten und bedingen mitunter überraschende Umwertungen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes präsentieren ausgewählte Gegenstände, deren herausfordernder Charakter bei genauerer Betrachtung offenkundig wird. Die auf originärer Forschung basierenden Studien hinterfragen scheinbar selbstverständliche Auffassungen – zum Teil zu alltäglichen und vertrauten Dingen wie Möbeln, zum Teil auch mit Bezug zu besonderen Objekten wie Federhauben –, die im Spannungsfeld sozialer, kultureller und politischer Aushandlungen stehen.

  7. Musikalische Praxis als Lebensform : Sinnfindung und Wirklichkeitserfahrung beim Musizieren

    The practice of making music as an act of liberation from perfection and productivity – and as the experience of meaningfulness in a specific situation, a specific location, in relationships. Wie wirklich ist musikalische Praxis und was hat sie mit dem alltäglichen Leben zu tun? Eva-Maria Houben zeigt, dass sich das Musizieren verändert, sobald dessen Sinn nicht in der zweckorientierten Produktion von Arbeitsergebnissen, sondern im Musizieren als Beschäftigung und um des Spielens willen gefunden wird. Musikalische Praxis ist prinzipiell unabgeschlossen. So bleibt das Tun auf Wiederholung ausgerichtet und befreit von Perfektion, Produktivität, Zweckgebundenheit. Sinn wird in der jeweiligen Situation, am spezifischen Ort, im Beziehungsgeschehen selbst erlebt. Musikalische Praxis kann so zur »Lebensform« und dabei eine eigene Wirklichkeit werden.

    According to relational sociology, power imbalances are at the root of human conflicts and consequently shape the physical and symbolic struggles between interdependent groups or individuals. This volume highlights the role of power relations in the African American experience by applying key concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias to black literature and culture. The authors offer new readings of power asymmetries as represented in works of canonical and contemporary black writers (Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Gwendolyn Brooks, Toni Morrison, Percival Everett, Colson Whitehead), rap music (e.g., Jay Z), images of black homelessness, and figurations of political activism (civil rights activist Bayard Rustin

    Rebecca Lemon illuminates a previously-buried conception of addiction, as a form of devotion at once laudable, difficult, and extraordinary, that has been concealed by the persistent modern link of addiction to pathology. Surveying sixteenth-century invocations, she reveals how early moderns might consider themselves addicted to study, friendship, love, or God. However, she also uncovers their understanding of addiction as a form of compulsion that resonates with modern scientific definitions. Specifically, early modern medical tracts, legal rulings, and religious polemic stressed the dangers of addiction to alcohol in terms of disease, compulsion, and enslavement. Yet the relationship between these two understandings of addiction was not simply oppositional, for what unites these discourses is a shared emphasis on addiction as the overthrow of the will.Etymologically, "addiction" is a verbal contract or a pledge, and even as sixteenth-century audiences actively embraced addiction to God and love, writers warned against commitment to improper forms of addiction, and the term became increasingly associated with disease and tyranny. Examining canonical texts including Doctor Faustus, Twelfth Night, Henry IV, and Othello alongside theological, medical, imaginative, and legal writings, Lemon traces the variety of early modern addictive attachments. Although contemporary notions of addiction seem to bear little resemblance to its initial meanings, Lemon argues that the early modern period's understanding of addiction is relevant to our modern conceptions of, and debates about, the phenomenon

    When political theorists teach the history of political philosophy, they typically skip from the ancient Greeks and Cicero to Augustine in the fifth century and Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth, and then on to the origins of modernity with Machiavelli and beyond. Paul Stern aims to change this settled narrative and makes a powerful case for treating Dante Alighieri, arguably the greatest poet of medieval Christendom, as a political philosopher of the first rank.In Dante's Philosophical Life, Stern argues that Purgatorio's depiction of the ascent to Earthly Paradise, that is, the summit of Mount Purgatory, was intended to give instruction on how to live the philosophic life, understood in its classical form as "love of wisdom." As an object of love, however, wisdom must be sought by the human soul, rather than possessed. But before the search can be undertaken, the soul needs to consider from where it begins: its nature and its good. In Stern's interpretation of Purgatorio, Dante's intense concern for political life follows from this need, for it is law that supplies the notions of good that shape the soul's understanding and it is law, especially its limits, that provides the most evident display of the soul's enduring hopes.According to Stern, Dante places inquiry regarding human nature and its good at the heart of philosophic investigation, thereby rehabilitating the highest form of reasoned judgment or prudence. Philosophy thus understood is neither a body of doctrines easily situated in a Christian framework nor a set of intellectual tools best used for predetermined theological ends, but a way of life. Stern's claim that Dante was arguing for prudence against dogmatisms of every kind addresses a question of contemporary concern: whether reason can guide a life

    Französische Bildtapeten aus der Manufaktur von Joseph Dufour fanden seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert in Interieurs in ganz Europa als begehrtes Ausstattungsobjekt Verwendung - vor allem in bildungsbürgerlichen Haushalten. Katharina Eck stellt die drei großformatigen Tapeten zu »Amor und Psyche«, »Telemach auf der Insel der Calypso« und »Paul und Virginie« in den Fokus ihrer Analysen. In einer transdisziplinären Studie (Literatur- und Kunstwissenschaft) untersucht sie die Geschlechter- und Paarbildungsdidaktiken in den Tapetenszenen - wie auch das »in richtigen Bahnen verlaufende« Sexualitätsdispositiv - zusammen mit den Praktiken des Wohnens und der Geselligkeit um 1800. Sie entwickelt Analyseachsen, die das »In-Beziehung-Setzen« mit den tapezierten Räumen und deren performatives Potenzial erstmalig in dieser anschaulichen Form ausloten

    Die Grenze avancierte in jüngsten gesellschaftspolitischen Debatten zu einer virulenten Denkfigur. Wie verhandeln Kunst und Kulturwissenschaften dieses komplexe und mehrdeutige Phänomen? Welche kritischen Zugänge und widerständigen Praktiken werden im europäischen Kontext und vor dem Hintergrund internationaler Beziehungen starkgemacht? Der Band führt Diskussionsstränge zusammen, die einer Naturalisierung und zunehmend polemischen Instrumentalisierung von Grenzen differenzierte Perspektiven entgegensetzen. Dabei steht die Befragung dichotomischer Konstruktionen eines »Wir« versus »die Anderen« sowie eines auf Abgrenzung und (globalen) Hierarchisierungen beruhenden Denkens im Vordergrund How do the arts and cultural studies deal with borders as complex, ambivalent phenomena against the backdrop of current political developments in Europe?

    The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Britain saw the proposal of so many endeavors called "projects"—a catchphrase for the daring, sometimes dangerous practice of shaping the future—that Daniel Defoe dubbed his era a "Projecting Age." These ideas spanned a wide variety of scientific, technological, and intellectual interventions intended for the betterment of England. But for all the fanfare surrounding them, few such schemes actually materialized, leaving scores of defunct visions, from Defoe's own attempt to farm cats for perfume, to Mary Astell's proposal to charter a college for women, to countless ventures for improving land, streamlining government, and inventing new consumer goods. Taken together, these failed plans form a compelling alternative history of a Britain that might have been.The Wreckage of Intentions offers a comprehensive and critical account of projects, exploring the historical memory surrounding these concrete yet incomplete efforts to advance British society during a period defined by revolutions in finance and agriculture, the rise of experimental science, and the establishment of constitutional monarchy. Using methods of literary analysis, David Alff shows how projects began as written proposals, circulated as print objects, spurred physical undertakings, and provoked responses in the realms of poetry, fiction, and drama. Mapping this process discloses the ways in which eighteenth-century authors applied their faculties of imagination to achieve finite goals and, in so doing, devised new ways of seeing the world through its future potential. Approaching old projects through the language, landscapes, data, and personas they left behind, Alff contends this vision was, and remains, vital to the functions of statecraft, commerce, science, religion, and literature

    What does the keyword "continence" in Love's Labor's Lost reveal about geopolitical boundaries and their breaching? What can we learn from the contemporary identification of the "quince" with weddings that is crucial for A Midsummer Night's Dream? How does the evocation of Spanish-occupied "Brabant" in Othello resonate with contemporary geopolitical contexts, wordplay on "Low Countries," and fears of sexual/territorial "occupation"? How does "supposes" connote not only sexual submission in The Taming of the Shrew but also the transvestite practice of boys playing women, and what does it mean for the dramatic recognition scene in Cymbeline?With dazzling wit and erudition, Patricia Parker explores these and other critical keywords to reveal how they provide a lens for interpreting the language, contexts, and preoccupations of Shakespeare's plays. In doing so, she probes classical and historical sources, theatrical performance practices, geopolitical interrelations, hierarchies of race, gender, and class, and the multiple significances of "preposterousness," including reversals of high and low, male and female, Latinate and vulgar, "sinister" or backward writing, and latter ends both bodily and dramatic.Providing innovative and interdisciplinary perspectives on Shakespeare, from early to late and across dramatic genres, Parker's deeply evocative readings demonstrate how easy-to-overlook textual or semantic details reverberate within and beyond the Shakespearean text, and suggest that the boundary between language and context is an incontinent divide

    In the 1830s and '40s, a new preoccupation with the housing of the poor emerged in British print and visual culture. In response to cholera outbreaks, political unrest, and government initiatives, commentators evinced a keen desire to document housing conditions and agitate for housing reform. Consistently and strikingly, these efforts focused on opening the domestic interiors of the poor to public view. In Open Houses, Barbara Leckie addresses the massive body of print materials dedicated to convincing the reader of the wretchedness, unworthiness, and antipoetic quality of the living conditions of the poor and, accordingly, the urgent need for architectural reform. Putting these exposés into dialogue with the Victorian novel and the architectural idea (the manipulation of architecture and the built environment to produce certain effects), she illustrates the ways in which "looking into" the house animated new models for social critique and fictional form.As housing conditions failed to improve despite the ubiquity of these documentary and fictional exposés, commentators became increasingly skeptical about the capacity of print to generate change. Focusing on Bleak House, Middlemarch, and The Princess Casamassima, Leckie argues that writers offered a persuasive counterargument for the novel's intervention in social debates. Open Houses returns the architectural idea to the central position it occupied in nineteenth-century England and reconfigures how we understand innovations in the genre of the novel, the agitation for social reform, and the contours of nineteenth-century modernity

    A constant feature of Jewish culture in the medieval Mediterranean was the dedication of panegyric texts in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, and other languages to men of several ranks: scholars, communal leaders, courtiers, merchants, patrons, and poets. Although the imagery of nature and eroticism in the preludes to these poems is often studied, the substance of what follows is generally neglected, as it is perceived to be repetitive, obsequious, and less aesthetically interesting than other types of poetry from the period. In Dominion Built of Praise, Jonathan Decter demurs. As is the case with visual portraits, panegyrics operate according to a code of cultural norms that tell us at least as much about the society that produced them as the individuals they portray. Looking at the phenomenon of panegyric in Mediterranean Jewish culture from several overlapping perspectives—social, historical, ethical, poetic, political, and theological—he finds that they offer representations of Jewish political leadership as it varied across geographic area and evolved over time.Decter focuses his analysis primarily on Jewish centers in the Islamic Mediterranean between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and also includes a chapter on Jews in the Christian Mediterranean through the fifteenth century. He examines the hundreds of panegyrics that have survived: some copied repeatedly in luxurious anthologies, others discarded haphazardly in the Cairo Geniza. According to Decter, the poems extolled conventional character traits ascribed to leaders not only diachronically within the Jewish political tradition but also synchronically within Islamic and, to a lesser extent, Christian civilization and political culture. Dominion Built of Praise reveals more than a superficial and functional parallel between Muslim and Jewish forms of statecraft and demonstrates how ideas of Islamic political legitimacy profoundly shaped the ways in which Jews conceptualized and portrayed their own leadership

    In Singing in a Foreign Land, Karen A. Weisman examines the uneasy literary inheritance of British cultural and poetic norms by early nineteenth-century Anglo-Jewish authors. Focusing on a range of subgenres, from elegies to pastorals to psalm translations, Weisman shows how the writers she studies engaged with the symbolic resources of English poetry—such as the land of England itself—from which they had been historically alienated.Weisman looks at the self-conscious explorations of lyric form by Emma Lyon; the elegies for members of the British royal family penned by Hyman Hurwitz; the ironic reflections on hybrid identities written by sisters Celia and Marion Moss; and the poems of Grace Aguilar that explicitly join lyric effusion to Jewish historical concerns. These poets were well-versed in both Jewish texts and mainstream literary history, and Weisman argues that they model an extreme example of Romantic self-reflexivity: they implicitly lament their own inability fully to appropriate inherited Romantic ideals about nature and transcendence even while acknowledging that those ideals are already deeply ironized by such figures as Coleridge, Shelley, and Wordsworth. And because they do not possess a secure history binding them to the landscape of British hearth and home, they recognize the need to create in their lyric poetry a stable narrative of identity within England and within the King's English even as they gesture toward the impossibility—and sometimes even the undesirability—of doing so.Singing in a Foreign Land reveals how these Anglo-Jewish poets, caught between their desire to enter the English lyric tradition and their inability as Jews to share in the full religious and cultural Romantic heritage, asserted a subtle cultural authority in their poems that recognized an alienation from their own expressive resources

    Pirandello, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, is a little known to most English readers. Too few of his plays and stories have been translated. This hook, therefore, serves the double purpose of introducing the Italian genius through a summary of all his dramatic work and interpreting his accomplishments fron an artistic viewpoint.As a background for his criticism, the Domenico Vittorini shows first how Pirandello's compassionate pessimism and tragic mockery resulted from his own tortured existence and in what way his art is relates to Italian literary tradition and contemporary thought. Proceeding chronologically, Pirandello's growth is traced from the elementary naturalism of his early writing, through his more reflective plays, to the crowning achievements of later years in which dramatic situations are approached from a highly intellectualized point of view
