- Summary:
- Welche Beziehung besteht zwischen Bildpraktiken und der ikonischen Kraft des Fliegens, insbesondere der Falknerei? Das Buch untersucht erstmals diese Beziehung, indem es sich auf Schnittstellen von Kultur und Natur, Sehvermögen und Blick, Taktilität und Wahrnehmung, Perspektive und Überwachung konzentriert. Aber auch Themen wie politische Ikonologie, die Migration von Objekten und Bildern oder die Mensch-Tier- Interaktion werden angesprochen. Mit Beiträgen von Baudouin van den Abeele, Horst Bredekamp, Robert Felfe, Peter Geimer, Yannis Hadjinicolaou, Christine Kleiter, Klaus Krüger, Tanja Michalsky, Andrea Pinotti, Herman Roodenburg, Monika Wagner, Gerhard Wolf und Frank Zöllner.
- What is the relation between image practices and the iconic power of flying and more specifically falconry? The book investigates for the first time this interaction by focussing on common intersections between culture and nature, vision and gaze, tactility and perception, perspective and surveillance, material and symbol. Also questions concerning political iconology, the migration of objects and images of human-animal interactions are addressed. With contributions by Baudouin van den Abeele, Horst Bredekamp, Robert Felfe, Peter Geimer, Yannis Hadjinicolaou, Christine Kleiter, Klaus Krüger, Tanja Michalsky, Andrea Pinotti, Herman Roodenburg, Monika Wagner, Gerhard Wolf and Frank Zöllner.
