Versioning Cultural Objects
This volume approaches an understanding of the term versioning in the broadest sense, discussing ideas about how versions differ across forms of media, including text, image, and sound. Versions of cultural objects are identified, defined, articulated, and analysed through diverse mechanisms in different fields of research. The study of versions allows for the investigation of the creative processes behind the conception of works, a closer inspection of their socio-political contexts, and promotes investigation of their provenance and circulation. Chapters in this volume include discussion of what a "version" means in different fields, case studies implementing digital versioning techniques, conceptual models for representing versions digitally, and computational and management issues for digital projects.

(Schmalix)
The Austrian painter Hubert Schmalix is best-known as a Neo-Expressionist. In the late 1970s and early 80s, his powerfully colorful works explored the genres of the still life, landscape, nude and portrait in a process that became increasingly expressive, taking on a great affinity to the painters of Die Brücke. In the mid-1980s, the female nude became Schmalix's dominant subject, and he began to work in the tradition of colorful Asian woodcuts. In the 1990s, his vocabulary expanded through his encounter with West Coast school painting to include religious subjects, the image of Christ and cityscapes of Los Angeles. In his most recent works, Schmalix has reduced his palette, and, in the tradition of photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, devoted himself to the portrayal of the female nude in erotic bondage rituals. Featuring a representative selection of paintings, this book is the first to provide a survey of the artist's entire oeuvre.
Schreibforschung interdisziplinär
Schreiben ist eine der wichtigsten menschlichen Kulturtechniken und beeinflusst maßgeblich die sozialen, kulturellen, politischen und ökonomischen Möglichkeiten des modernen Menschen. Dem Thema »Schreiben« in seinen unterschiedlichsten Facetten – als Praxis, Prozess, Produkt – muss daher zwingend interdisziplinär begegnet werden. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes führen schreibtheoretische Modelle aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen zusammen und zeigen produktive Schnittstellen für Theorie und Praxis auf. Neben theoretischen und methodologischen Fragestellungen thematisieren sie auch die unterschiedlichen Textformen und Schreibsituationen, die im Fokus der einzelnen Fachbereiche und Disziplinen stehen.
