Until recently still a blank spot on the world map of art, China today occupies one of the top positions in the rankings of the global art market and has moved into the center of the speculations and the covetousness of its protagonists. But what is really happening on the spot, beyond the ethnocentric distortions of the Western viewpoint? What social representations and uses of art can be identified? A research team from the University of St. Gallen has taken up such questions in an ethnographical field research project which enables the actors in this emergent and nonetheless already market-dominated art field to have their say.

Since the late 1980s visibility has become a currency of social recognition, and a political issue. It also brought forth a new discipline, visual culture studies, and a hotly contested debate unfolded between art history and visual culture studies over the interpretation of visual culture, whose impact can still be felt today. In this first comparative study Susanne von Falkenhausen reveals the concepts of seeing as scholarly act that underwrite these competing approaches to visuality and society, along with the agendas of identity politics that motivate them. In close readings of key texts spanning from the early 20th century to the present the author crosses expertly between American, German, and British versions of art history, cultural studies, aesthetics, and film studies.

Die »intellektuelle Anschauung« erhebt um 1800 die Beziehung von Begriff und Bild zum Ausgangspunkt von Erkenntnis. Dabei wird problematisch, wie die Übereinstimmung von Begriff und Bild, die in der klassischen rhetorischen Evidenz noch garantiert war, verfasst sein kann. Aus dieser Konstellation entwickelt sich eine Vielzahl epistemischer Techniken zur Erzeugung von Evidenz. Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen diesen Komplex, die Vorgeschichte seit der Renaissance und die Nachspiele in der Gegenwart aus der Perspektive von Literatur-, Medien- und Theaterwissenschaft, Philosophie, Kunst- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte.

Das kritische Potenzial des Bühnentanzes wird meist in der Aufführung lokalisiert. Diese Studie zeigt, dass es bereits im künstlerischen Schaffensprozess zu verorten ist. Am Beispiel von Xavier Le Roy und Thomas Lehmen werden choreographische Arbeitsweisen vorgestellt, die Kritik an den Produktionsbedingungen von Tanz üben. Während das Feld kultureller Produktion in der Tanzforschung überwiegend ausgeklammert bleibt, wird es hier mitgedacht und zwar als konstitutiv für die »kritische Praxis«. Ziel ist es, mit Hilfe von Konzepten der Kritik aus Kultur- und Kunsttheorie, einen vergemeinschaftlichten Kritikbegriff im zeitgenössischen Tanz zu bestimmen.

"About projections" gives insights into world maps, their ways of representation and the associated worldviews. On the one hand, the projection is presented as an ideal projection in the sense of a worldview that describes prevailing mental images, values, order principles, ways of thinking or explanatory models of the world. On the other hand, the focus is on the geometric projection that underlies world maps: every world map faces the difficulty of displaying the spherical surface in a two-dimensional plane. In a reconstruction various paradigmatic worldviews are shown on the basis of world maps. In a deconstruction, conventional ones are contrasted by alternative world maps. The wide variety of possible world maps shows that world maps do not represent a status quo, but are merely a subjective interpretation of the world at a given time, which remain subject to constant upheavals.
