Tracing the Divine Office: On Frames and Patterns in Medieval Latin Psalter Manuscripts
Medieval Latin Psalter manuscripts are closely related to the Liturgy of the Hours and private devotional practices, within which they could be read. The psalms were ideally recited in their entirety within a week, though not continuously from beginning to end, but with interruptions. The Book of Psalms was therefore divided into sections and occasionally single psalms were recited several times. In this respect, access to certain psalms or group…

Stories Without Borders: The Berlin Wall and the Making of a Global Iconic Event
The fall of the Berlin Wall is remembered as an historic moment at the end of the Cold War; it received international media coverage, and is commemorated on anniversaries and in souvenirs of the event. In her well-researched book, media scholar Julia Sonnevend argues convincingly that the “event” itself bears little resemblance to how it is remembered. She traces the opening of the border between East and West Berlin as responses to a string of h…
Watching Football in the Fan Park: Mediatization, Spectatorship and Fan Identity
The football fan park, originally a &s;surrogate stadium&s; for fans without tickets, has now become a live venue in its own right, and a new arena in the culture of football fandom. In these sites of exceptionally high &s;media density&s;, football fan identities become flexible and mobile, as participants in these venues interact with an increasingly mediatized social environment. Research on fans and fan identities has undergone significant th…

Celebrating with the celebrities: Television in Public Space During Two Royal Weddings
The recent emergence of an increasingly participatory media culture has opened up new ways for audiences to collectively negotiate the cultural meanings surrounding celebrities. Public screens are one such phenomenon, where people gather to witness the live broadcast of celebrity events. Taking our point of departure in two recent royal weddings in the UK and Sweden, we explore the performative displays that public viewing affords, as participant…
Veneration and Wonder—the politics of making art in an Oaxacan village
This article examines a 5-year collaboration between the Stockholm-based video artists Performing Pictures and Talleres Comunitarios, a studio based in the Oaxacan town of Santa Ana Zegache where local artisans employ traditional skills in the restoration of religious artifacts. In images and text, we trace the exchange of skills, knowledge, and aesthetic sensibility that took place as these two groups of artists collaborated in producing a serie…
Performing the news
Photographs of non-professionals taking pictures are a common feature of contemporary journalism. Drawing on theories of photography as performance and ritual, this article addresses what it means when professionals include these photographing “others” in their images of news events. It argues that the image of the amateur, performing photography in the news, shifts and destabilizes journalistic discourse. Using examples from the daily press, the…
Gestures of seeing: Amateur photographers in the news
This article examines the amateur photographer as a common figure in contemporary news photographs, focusing on how the amateur’s gestures signify in journalism’s coverage of media events. Drawing on theories of photography as performance and ritual, I argue that the presence of the non-professional in the news photograph destabilizes journalistic discourse by challenging the role of the professional photographer and by redefining the event and i…
Französische Literaturgeschichte
Von den Heldenepen bis Houellebecq, von den "Straßburger Eiden" bis heute. Die beliebte Literaturgeschichte führt durch sämtliche Epochen und Gattungen. Illustriert mit rund 300 Abbildungen wird dabei die Literatur des "klassischen" 17. Jahrhunderts mit Molière, Racine u. a. ebenso anschaulich präsentiert wie z. B. die des "Existenzialismus" und des "Theaters des Absurden". Für die 5. Auflage wurden die Kapitel zum Früh- und Hochmittelalter und "…
La mentalité juridique dans la littérature française (XIIIe-XVe siècles)
L'A. se penche sur Les Arrets d'Amour, recueil de 51 textes du XV e siecle, et analyse la mentalite juridique qui y apparait. L'article traite egalement de la tradition litteraire dans laquelle se situent ces arrets (casuistique amoureuse), et tente de situer ces textes dans leur contexte afin de mieux comprendre les intentions de l'auteur et la reception de ce texte
Media and the ritual process
Det skarpa perspektivet och könsproblematiken inom dokumentärfotografin
I det sociala reportaget ingår bilder som förknippas med två motstridiga sanningskriterier; kravet på opartisk olrjektivilet och kravet på känslomässigt engagemang. Har kommer dessa kriterier till uttryck i bedömningen av tre framstående kvinnliga fotografers bidrag till denna genre
American Photography and the American Dream . James Guimond
Picturing Our Past: An Archive Constructs a National Culture
PHOTOGRAPHY'S POSITION IN WESTERN CULTURE is embedded in an ideology of representation that regards it as simultaneously copying and constructing the world that it pictures. Photographic practice, which includes not only the taking of pictures, but also how photographs are looked at, thought about, saved, used, and re-used, illustrates the ways we resolve this apparent paradox. State institutions that rely on keeping records produce photographs t…
