The Enlightenment promised humanity a bright future of emancipation which never actuallymaterialized. Instead, our social order is still based on gender inequality, which rests upon afalse conviction: that the individual can be conceived of as separate from community; that the more individualized a person is, the less they need to establish links with their community to feel safe; and that the more they use reason to build a relationship with the world, the less they need emotions. Th is conviction, which guides the ideals of our social system, is based on a fantasy: the fantasy of individuality.This volume is a step in fleshing out the historical reasons for gender inequality from theorigins of humankind to present times in the Western world. It is a theoretically-informedand up-to-date overview of the history of gender inequality that takes as its starting pointthe mechanisms through which human beings construct their self-identity.Starting from a peripheral, interdisciplinary and heterodox perspective, this book intends toappraise the complexity of gender identity in all its richness and diversity. It seeks to understand the persistence of relationality in supposedly fully individualized male selves, and the construction of new forms of individuality among women that did not follow the masculine model. It is argued here that by balancing community and self beyond the contradictions of hegemonic masculinity, modern women are struggling to build a new, more empowering form of personhood.The author is an archaeologist, who uses her discipline not only to provide data, theory anda long-term perspective, but also in a metaphorical sense: to construct a socio-historicalgenealogy of current gender systems, through an examination of how personhood and self- identity have been constructed in the Western world.

In his global, long-term project planned for fifty volumes (begun in 2013), Peter Bialobrzeski poses the question of whether the conception of the image of a city, shaped by prejudices, pre-existing notions and media representations, can be translated into real images. For the new four volumes, he travelled to New York, Norderney, Istanbul and Vilnius. He is interested in the cultural differences visible in each cityscape. He poses the question of what has already been superimposed by increasing globalisation, or what remains visible. With his consistent, seemingly objectifying visual language, this epochal, documentary experiment can be wonderfully comprehended in each book and especially by comparing the individual books, for example for New York or Norderney.

Stahlgrüne Amazilie, Rotbürzelkassike, Rostnackenstaffelschwanz, Strichelbrust-Spinnenjäger... rätselhafte Namen oder Begriffe, die nur Ornithologen vertraut klingen. In diesem Buch geht es um die Nester dieser und vieler anderer Vogelarten, die seltsamen, unglaublich fragilen, filigran aus Gras, Lehm, Blättern und einer Vielzahl anderer Materialien zusammengekitteten Kugeln und Flechtwerke, die Vögel errichten um dort ihre Eier zu legen, zu brüten und ihren Nachwuchs aufzuziehen. Karen Weinert vereint mit Ihren Bildern die Perspektiven von künstlerischer und dokumentarischer Fotografie, Naturwissenschaft und Museologie auf die überwiegend aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stammende, historische Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlung in Dresden, in der es einen beeindruckenden Bestand von rund 1.000 Vogelnestern aus aller Welt gibt. Dabei setzt sie auf drei verschiedene fotografische Methoden: Schwarz-Weiss Fotografie im abstrahierenden Blossfeldt'schen Stil, Farbfotografie in neutral dokumentarischer Manier und Flachbettscantechnologie mit der sie gefundene (verlassene!) Nester abtastet. Mit den ca. 100 abgebildeten Miniaturhabitaten dieser Sammlung lässt sich exemplarisch die ungeheure Vielfalt an Formen und Konstruktionstechniken dieser fantastischen Architekturen abbilden. Karen Weinert (*1976) studierte nach einer fotografischen Ausbildung Visuelle Kommunikation/Fotografie in Weimar und hat bereits mehrere Bücher veröffentlicht. Sie betreibt in Dresden den Ausstellungsraum bautzner69 und lebt auch dort.
Das Leben und die Kunst von Felix Nussbaum, die Architektursprache von Daniel Libeskind, die Fotografien von Erieta Attali - drei Stimmen, drei Erzählungen, verbunden in einem eindrucksvollen Fotoband. Der Fotografin Erieta Attali ist es gelungen, die verschiedenen Bezüge inner- und außerhalb des Felix-Nussbaum-Hauses in Osnabrück, das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Architektur, Museums- und Ausstellungsräumen sowie den darin präsentierten Gemälden des deutsch-jüdischen Malers Felix Nussbaum (1904-1944), mit ihren Fotografien einzufangen. Dabei ist Attalis Blick nicht dokumentarisch, sondern der subjektive Blick einer visuellen Poetin, die ganz im Sinne des Untertitels der Publikation das Widerständige sowohl in den Bildern Nussbaums als auch in der Architektur Libeskinds auslotet. Das Felix-Nussbaum-Haus war im Jahr 1998 das erste fertiggestellte Gebäude von Libeskind, und es widersteht bis heute mit seiner provokativen, unkonventionellen Gestaltung den üblichen Erwartungen, die Besucher an ein Museumsgebäude haben. Dieses Buch soll neugierig machen: auf die Bilder und das Leben Nussbaums, auf das Gebäude, das seinen Namen trägt. Und es soll, ganz im Sinne der Förderer des Hauses, die Erinnerung an ihn wachhalten. Der Einband in Form eines N versteht sich dabei als Referenz an den Namen des in Auschwitz ermordeten Malers. ¿
Das Fotoprojekt "Am Weg" stellt den abschließenden Teil der Trilogie zu Hans-Christian Schinks langfristiger fotografischer Untersuchung des Umfelds seines Wohnorts in Mecklenburg Vorpommern dar (nach "Hinterland", 2019 und "Unter Wasser", 2022). Ein 3 km langer Feldweg führt vom Haus des Fotografen durch eine für diese Region typische Agrarlandschaft. Diesen Weg ist Hans-Christian Schink immer wieder zu Fuß und mit der Kamera gegangen. Über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahren ist so eine künstlerisch-dokumentarische Bestandsaufnahme der verschiedenen Aspekte dieses Areals entstanden. Atmosphärisch dichte Landschaftsbilder in Schwarz-Weiß, berauschend farbige Portraits von Blüten und grafisch faszinierende Fotografien von Gräsern und Blättern werden durch Vogelzeichnungen seines Bruders Martin Schink ergänzt. Umfassende Auflistungen belegen den unglaublichen Reichtum der entlang des Weges beobachteten Tier- und Pflanzenwelt. Das Projekt entfaltet seine Wirkung aus dem Zusammenklang aller Elemente dieser Materialsammlung und führt auf diese Weise den Betrachtern und Lesern die vielschichtige Verflechtung von Natur und Kultur auch in unserem unmittelbaren Lebensbereich vor Augen. Ein literarischer Text des Lyrikers und Prosaautors Uwe Kolbe, der assoziativ einen konkreten wie auch fiktiven Weg abschreitet, fügt der Publikation eine ganz eigenständige Ebene hinzu.
