Was passiert, wenn Objekte, Begriffe, soziale und künstlerische Praktiken aus einem spezifischen Kontext in andere Zusammenhänge transferiert werden? Wie lassen sich die politischen und sozialen Verhandlungen beschreiben, die solche Prozesse strukturieren? In den aktuellen Debatten der Kulturwissenschaften spielt der Begriff der Übersetzung eine wichtige Rolle. Er bezeichnet neben der Übertragung fremdsprachiger Texte auch den Import und Export von Kulturgütern sowie die Aneignung von Wissensformen. Für die Analyse interkultureller Praktiken ist er zu einem Schlüsselbegriff avanciert. Kunsthistoriker, Volkskundler, Medien- und Kulturwissenschaftler erproben in diesem Buch die Tauglichkeit des Übersetzungsbegriffs für die Analyse von künstlerischer und kultureller Traditionsbildung. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven wird nach den medialen und historischen Bedingungen kultureller Austauschverhältnisse gefragt und so ein neuer analytischer Zugang zur Kunst und Kultur der Moderne gesucht

"Lavia and Mahlomaholo re-examine how postcolonial theories might contribute to understandings about education in Culture, Education, and Community. They provide a critical space in which to interrogate the ways in which postcolonial voices are imagined and struggle to be valued, heard, and responded to. The book takes the imagination of the postcolonial and the experience of postcoloniality as its focus, acknowledging that postcolonialism is a troubling, unsettling, and ambiguous concept requiring re-visiting and re-interpretation"--

In books such as The Aesthetics of Disappearance, War and Cinema, The Lost Dimension, and The Vision Machine, Paul Virilio has fundamentally changed how we think about contemporary media culture. Virilio's examinations of the connections between perception, logistics, the city, and new media technologies comprise some of the most powerful texts within his hypermodern philosophy. Virilio and the Mediapresents an introduction to Virilio's important media related ideas, from polar inertia and the accident to the landscape of events, cities of panic, and the instrumental image loop of television. John Armitage positions Virilio's essential media texts in their theoretical contexts whilst outlining their substantial influence on recent cultural thinking. Consequently, Armitage renders Virilio's media texts accessible, priming his readers to create individual critical evaluations of Virilio's writings. The book closes with an annotated and user-friendly Guide to Further Reading and a non-technical Glossary of Virilio's significant concepts. Virilio's texts on the media are vital for everyone concerned with contemporary media culture, and Virilio and the Mediaoffers a comprehensive and up to date introduction to the ever expanding range of his critical media and cultural works.
