Image Acts
Heavily represented sections of contemporary philosophy subscribe to the notion of "embodiment". However promising this pragmatic turn of events may be, it remains limited in that it interprets the world as a projection of the cognizing "I". By contrast, Image Acts focuses on the counterforce of the form of images. The book subdivides this sphere into three parts: imitation, substitution, and the pure effect of the form. All three parts are contemplated with examples from antiquity through to the present and the iconoclastic controversies of our times. From this reconstruction of the image act springs the element of a new philosophy of affordance.
Lutheran Churches in Early Modern Europe
Until recently the impact of the Lutheran Reformation has been largely regarded in political and socio-economic terms, yet for most people it was not the abstract theological debates that had the greatest impact upon their lives, but the physical alterations made to their local parish church. This collection of essays provides a coherent and interdisciplinary investigation of the impact that the Lutheran Reformation had on the appearance, architecture and arrangement of early modern churches. By focusing on ecclesiastical 'material culture' the collection helps to place the art and architecture of Lutheran places of worship into the historical, political and theological context of early modern Europe.

Hermeneutical Narratives in Art, Literature, and Communication
Exploring the relationship between hermeneutics and the arts, including painting, music, and literature, this book builds on hermeneutics from a practical perspective, connecting this area of critical research with others to reveal how it is viewed from different perspectives. International and interdisciplinary in scope, this edited volume draws on the work of scholars and practitioners working across a variety of subject areas, themes and topics, including philosophy, literature, religious paintings, musical oeuvres, Chinese urbanscapes, Moroccan proverbs, and Ukrainian internet blogs. Focusing on the idea of hermeneutics as a discipline that can connect different areas of interest, the book offers an inside view into how the contributors 'interpret' it within their own academic remits, demonstrating its presence in qualitative academic interpretations and canonical contemporary research in humanities.

Gottesdienst-Räume
Das Bestreben dieses Buches ist es, den Variationsreichtum des schlesischen evangelischen Kirchenbauens seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts in Bild und Text möglichst vollständig zu dokumentieren. Der Haupttitel zeigt zugleich an, dass nicht die Architektur im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit steht, sondern der Raum, in dem sich Gemeinde zur Feier ihrer Gottesdienste versammelt. Deshalb folgen Großstadtkirchen und Holzbaracken, neogotischer Backstein und umgestaltete Gasthaussäle in gleichem Range aufeinander. Der Textteil bietet in chronologischer Folge Grunddaten und Literatur. Nicht nur weil etwa 90 dieser Kirchräume zerstört oder dem Verfall preisgegeben wurden, ist der Band auch ein Er...
Medieval Art and Architecture after the Middle Ages
Medieval Art and Architecture after the Middle Ages explores the endurance of and nostalgia for medieval monuments through their reception in later periods, specifically illuminating the myriad ways in which tangible and imaginary artifacts of the Middle Ages have served to articulate contemporary aspirations and anxieties. The essays in this interdisciplinary collection examine the afterlife of medieval works through their preservation, restoration, appropriation, and commodification in America, Great Britain, and across Europe from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. From the evocation of metaphors and tropes, to monumental projects of restoration and recreation—medieval visual cultu...
