Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ein Gespenst geht um – etwas kehrt wieder, tritt in Erscheinung, obgleich es bereits für tot erklärt wurde, sucht Körper, Orte und Objekte heim, obwohl ihm kein Platz in der Gegenwart der Lebenden eingeräumt wird. Neuzeit und Moderne widmeten sich der Bekämpfung des Geisterglaubens und erzeugten doch zugleich ganze Heerscharen von Gespenstern – so sorgte gerade das gespensterskeptische Zeitalter der Aufklärung für eine diskursive Verstärkung des Gespensterglaubens, und die Massenmedien erweisen sich als Brutstätten medialer Phantasmagorien. Auch im beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert sind die Geister noch wach: Sie bevölkern in vielfältigen Figurationen weite Teile der Populärkultur, sie treten als (Denk-)Figuren in theoretischen und künstlerischen Diskursen auf und fungieren als Chiffren des soziopolitisch Imaginären. "Lernen, mit den Gespenstern zu leben"; der vorliegende Band geht aus der gleichnamigen Tagung hervor, die im Herbst 2013 im Frankfurter Mousonturm stattfand. Tagung und Buch stellen sich den Herausforderungen von Jacques Derridas Hantologie, der Lehre der Heimsuchung, die den interdisziplinären Diskurs immer wieder mit der zentralen Frage konfrontiert: Was bedeutet es, mit den Gespenstern zu leben? In der Folge werden politische, ethische und ästhetische Potentiale, die dieser 'umgangslose Umgang' mit Gespenstern birgt, untersucht. Die Darstellungs- und Wahrnehmungsmodalitäten des Gespenstigen kommen dabei auf vielen Ebenen zur Sprache, ebenso wie seine Funktion und Bedeutung für verschiedene Kunstformen. Das Gespenstige als Denk- und Erfahrungsmodell zur Auseinandersetzung mit offenen Fragen zu Politik und Historie, Körperlichkeit und Medialität, sowie als Darstellungsdispositiv in Theater, Film, Medien, Literatur und Bildender Kunst ist daher Untersuchungsgegenstand der Beiträge des Buches. Der Band ordnet sie fünf Themenkreisen der Heimsuchung zu, die jeweils mit einer eigenen Einleitung versehen sind: Philosophie, Geschichte, Orte, Theater und Medien.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores stage conjuring during its “golden age,” from about 1860 to 1910. This study provides close readings highlighting four paradigmatic illusions of the time that stand in for different kinds of illusions typical of stage magic in the “golden age” and analyses them within their cultural and media-historical context: “Pepper’s Ghost,” the archetypical mirror illusion; “The Vanishing Lady,” staging a teleportation in a time of a dizzying acceleration of transport; “the levitation,” simulating weightlessness with the help of an extended steel machinery; and “The Second Sight,” a mind-reading illusion using up-to-date communication technologies. These close readings are completed by writings focusing on visual media and expanding the scope backwards and forwards in time, roughly to 1800 and to 2000. This exploration will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy, Socrates declared, is the art of dying. This book underscores that it is also the art of learning to live and share the earth with those who have come before us. Burial, with its surrounding rituals, is the most ancient documented cultural-symbolic practice: all humans have developed techniques of caring for and communicating with the dead. The premise of Being with the Dead is that we can explore our lives with the dead as a cross-cultural existential a priori out of which the basic forms of historical consciousness emerge. Care for the dead is not just about the symbolic handling of mortal remains; it also points to a necropolitics, the social bond between the dead and living that holds societies together—a shared space or polis where the dead are maintained among the living. Moving from mortuary rituals to literary representations, from the problem of ancestrality to technologies of survival and intergenerational communication, Hans Ruin explores the epistemological, ethical, and ontological dimensions of what it means to be with the dead. His phenomenological approach to key sources in a range of fields gives us a new perspective on the human sciences as a whole.

Book excerpt: Gothic Cinema closes a gap in German-language film discourse: for the first time, the volume sheds light on a hitherto little-discussed film context. It considers Gothic Cinema as a form of unofficial historiography that allows a look not only at the history of film and its technique, but also at moral concepts, gender relations, collective fears or aesthetic currents. A delimitation and definition of the term and the central elements of the Gothic are followed by a comprehensive historical overview from 1896 to the present day. Three in-depth analyses of individual post-2015 gothic films and television series round out the review. On the one hand, the examples examined are representative in terms of typical elements, motifs or topoi, and on the other hand, they exhibit peculiarities and breaks that prove fruitful for a cultural and media studies investigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection gathers a set of provocative essays that sketch innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to Genre Theory in the 21st century. Focusing on the interaction between tragedy and comedy, both renowned and emerging scholarly and creative voices from philosophy, theater, literature, and cultural studies come together to engage in dialogues that reconfigure genre as social, communal, and affective. In revisiting the challenges to aesthetic categorization over the course of the 20th century, this volume proposes a shift away from the prescriptive and hierarchical reading of genre to its crucial function in shaping thought and enabling shared experience and communication. In doing so, the various essays acknowledge the diverse contexts within which genre needs to be thought afresh: media studies, rhetoric, politics, performance, and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015 the McCord Museum in Montreal, Canada, was gifted with the Allan Slaight Collection, one of the largest treasuries of posters and documents on magic in the world. Published in conjunction with the exhibition Illusions. The Art of Magic at the McCord Museum, this volume presents 250 exceptional posters from this collection, dating from the 1880s to the 1940s. During this period, known as the Golden Age of Magic, droves of traveling magicians and prestidigitators fought a veritable advertising war. All over the United States and Europe, city walls and billboards were plastered with posters offering tantalizing previews of their most spectacular tricks, giving poster designers and printers of the era a golden opportunity to flex their imaginations and load their work with devils and demons, skeletons and skulls, bodies and decapitated heads, playing-cards and rabbits, alluring assistants, phantasmagoria and esoteric symbols. Seven authors recognized as experts in their respective fields introduce this dazzling array of color and fantastic imagery, providing insights to explain the full historic, social and artistic value of these magnificent posters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores illusionism as a much larger phenomenon than optical illusion, magic shows, or special effects, as a vital part of how we perceive, process, and shape the world in which we live. Considering different cultural practices characterized by illusionism, this book suggests a new approach to illusion via media theory. Each of the chapters analyses a specific kind of illusionistic practice and the concept of illusionism it entails in a given context, including philosophy, perception and cognitive theory, performance magic, occultism, optics, physiology, early cinema, cartomancy, spiritualism, architecture, shamanic rituals, and theoretical physics, to show the diversity of shapes that illusionism and illusions can take. The book provides detailed analyses of illusions within performance and ritual magic, philosophy, art history and psychology as well as a first approach to the study of illusions outside of these established fields. It aims to find ways of identifying and analysing a wider range of illusions in the humanities. This multidisciplinary and comprehensive volume will appeal to scholars and students with an interest in media and culture, theatre and performance, philosophy, sociology, politics and religion. This publication was supported by the Internationales Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar with funds from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
