Irisblütenmord
Ein außergewöhnliches Debüt und eine Geschichte, die eine vollkommen unerwartete Wendung nimmt. An einem Naturstrand in Langenargen wird ein Toter gekreuzigt aufgefunden.

Perfection’s Therapy
Albrecht Dürer’s master engraving, Melencolia I, has stood for centuries as a pictorial summa of knowledge about melancholia and an allegory of the limits of earthbound arts and sciences.

The contributions of this special issue suggest, however, that the contested visual representability of the sublime might have spurred visual artists to devise innovative, experimental solutions in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.
