Was unterscheidet "freie" von "angewandten" Künsten? Diese nicht erst seit der Moderne virulente Frage prägt die Kunstvorstellungen bis heute. Der Band geht dieser die Hierarchie der Künste vorstrukturierenden Gegenüberstellung nach. Es zeigt sich, dass in den Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Kunst und Kunstgewerbe Gattungshierarchien und implizite Geschlechtszuschreibungen nach wie vor eine zentrale Rolle spielen, was auch von zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern problematisiert wird. Die internationalen Beiträger_innen stellen das Funktionieren der traditionellen Hierarchien zur Diskussion, was zu einer Revision von Kategorien und Klassifikationen der Kunstgeschichte führt. Dies ermöglicht eine Neubewertung nicht nur von künstlerischen/gestalterischen Werken der Moderne bis zur Gegenwart, sondern auch der damit befassten Kunstkritik. Aktuelle künstlerische Strategien erfahren dabei eine besondere Beachtung.

Newsreel cinema and television not only served as an important tool in the shaping of political spheres and the construction of national and cultural identities up to the 1960s. Today's potent televisual forms were furthermore developed in and strongly influenced by newsreels, and much of the archived newsreel footage is repeatedly used to both illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book addresses newsreel cinema and television as a medium serving the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945, its role in forming audiovisual narratives of a »biopic of the nation«, and the technical, aesthetical, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.
