Emergency Design
By: Blechinger, Gerhard (ed.); Milev, Yana (ed.)
Published by: Springer
Emergency Design ist eine Methode der situativen Raum- und Kulturproduktion, die auf dem Modell der Krise basiert und von Yana Milev Anfang 2006 als interdisziplin??rer Theoriediskurs vorgestellt wurde. Krise als Ph??nomen setzt sich aus den Phasen der Erscheinung und ihrem Verschwinden zusammen. In der etymologischen Bestimmung ist Krise aus krisis (gr.) herzuleiten, was "entscheidende Wendung" bedeutet. Damit steht Krise nicht am Beginn eines Prozesses, sondern bildet den zu erreichenden Endpunkt in machtdominierten Gesellschaftssystemen. Die Gestaltungsbereiche Design, Architektur und Kunst haben nicht mit Objektentw??rfen und ??sthetisierung zu tun, sondern mit tempor??ren Situationen. Die Formgebung erw??chst aus den Inhalten und nicht aus der Reproduktion von formalen Funktionsweisen. Die Autoren betrachten den Krisenraum als Matrix kultureller Erneuerung in Design, Identit??ten und Architektur. Ruedi Baur besch??ftigt sich u.a. mit Design als Mittel zur Repr??sentation der Krise oder Paul Virilio mit dem Thema mobile Architektur und neue urbane Kulturen. Peter Sloterdijk stellt Emergency Design anhand ausgesuchter Beispiele als Projekt der Selbstaufr??umung im Weltverletzungsraum vor. Joachim Kreysler spricht aus epidemologischer Sicht ??ber die Ursachen medizinischer Emergencies. Weitere Beitr??ge stammen u.a. von Heiner M??hlmann, Gerd de Bruyn, Kari Jormakka, Michael Zinganel, Martina L??w, Stephan Tr??by, Jaqueline Otten.

Envisioning the Past
By: Smiles, Sam; Moser, Stephanie
Published by: Blackwell Publishing, Ltd
Envisioning the Past brings together archaeologists, art historians, and anthropologists to offer new perspectives on the construction of knowledge concerning the antiquity of man. The volume demonstrates the extent to which the visual presentation of archaeological research creates a particular discourse, powerful enough to shape our understanding of archaeological knowledge. No category of images is immune from this process, from site drawings to museum displays and from manuscript illustrations to digital media.
