En savoir plus sur le livre

This collection features a diverse range of essays and reflections that explore the intersection of memory, culture, and art across various contexts. It includes contributions from notable thinkers such as Aleida Assmann, who delves into the concept of memory spaces through visual and textual mediums, and Ulrich Beck, who examines globalization's impact on personal life. The works of Hans Belting and Walter Benjamin address the nature of photographic imagery and its cultural implications. Contributions from Bertolt Brecht and Breyten Breytenbach challenge conventional notions of progress and artistic expression. The anthology also highlights contemporary discussions around museums and their roles in society, as seen in Bazon Brock's insights. The writings of Boris Groys and Ilya Kabakov reflect on the significance of signs and cultural narratives. Additionally, the collection features critical perspectives on modernity from figures like Heinrich Klotz and Rem Koolhaas, as well as explorations of design in a fluid world by Ezio Manzini. Further, it includes reflections on memory and trauma in art, with references to Art Spiegelman's "Maus" and Jeremy Rifkin's critiques of American ideals. The anthology culminates in a rich tapestry of thoughts on aesthetics, history, and the enduring impact of past cultures, offering readers a profound understanding of contemporary artistic discourse.
