Welche Rolle spielt Augenzeugenschaft in Kunst und visueller Kultur von ca. 1800 bis heute? Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen diese Frage an einem breiten Spektrum von Gegenständen: künstlerischen und nicht-künstlerischen Bildern, Aktionen und Installationen sowie Kunstinstitutionen und -literatur. Im Zentrum des Interesses steht, wie Effekte von...
Theodor W. Adornos Ästhetische Theorie war für die Theoriebildung der zeitgenössichen Kunst nach 1945 das zentrale Werk- Für die bildende Kunst ist das vordergründig erstaunlich, da der Autor wenig konkrete Werkanalysen lieferte. Adorno beförderte dagegen eine intellektuelle Haltung, die sich dezidiert gegen ein "weiter so" einsetzte. Der Bruch, de...
This book presents a study of the various feelings of awe and wonder experienced by astronauts during space flight. It summarizes the results of two experimental, interdisciplinary studies that employ methods from neuroscience, psychology, phenomenology and simulation technology, and it argues for a non-reductionist approach to cognitive science.
This chapter explains the experimental design and the results of our first experiment, the design of the simulated environments used in that experiment, and a variety of technical details about the equipment we used in addition to what we measured. The use of a simulated environment to create an experimental test bed where a number of variables can...
It is remarkable to think that visual phenomena that we take for granted today, and that seem self-evident and in no need of further explanation, appear in history only at a specific point in time. Today it is possible, for example, to create and reproduce photographic images of lightning flashes and the Milky Way. In regard to such images, the usu...
Is wonder inconceivable? The question is not, is wonder impossible, but is it inconceivable, that is, is it impossible to put into concepts, despite the fact that clearly people experience it, and we talk and write about it? Is wonder absolutely unique to each person who experiences it? Do concepts undermine wonder as wonder, turning it into someth...
As research into emotions and affective phenomena, such as awe and wonder grows, so will the methodological challenges for addressing such inquiries. These inherently nebulous and conceptually ambiguous topics draw the interests of researchers from various disciplines, each coming with distinct perspectives and biases concerning what counts as good...
Experiment 1 had confirmed a number of important points for our project. First, we were able to elicit experiences of awe and wonder that replicated (or came close to) those articulated by the astronauts. Second, the specific combination of methods in a neurophenomenological framework showed potential as a way to explore those experiences. As we de...
This chapter looks at the original expressions and descriptions of the experiences of awe and wonder, as well as related experiences, including curiosity and feelings of humility, given by astronauts in their in-flight journals and in interviews after their return to Earth. Our aim in analyzing the astronauts’ descriptions of their experiences was...
Throughout the previous chapters we have talked about a non-reductionist science. In this chapter, we want to clarify what that means. We first look at the very successful notion of scientific reductionism as it gets used in the natural and social sciences. We then focus on some complications for the reductionist project in cognitive science that d...
Near the ruins of the ancient city of Miletus, you can still walk out into an open field at night and gaze at an extremely rich array of stars. According to a famous legend, in the sixth century BCE, Thales of Miletus, one of the first philosophers to appeal to naturalistic explanations, walking across a field and gazing at the stars, found the hea...
Der erste Aufstand der Zeichen fand in der Sattelzeit statt. So wurden Bilder um 1800 immer wieder als von ihrer Umgebung untrennbar beschrieben. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurden diese Vorstellungen darüber hinaus durch Simulationstheorien, die sich mit dem Namen Jean Baudrillard verbinden, weiterentwickelt. Die Bilderwelt sei Täuschung, denn die Menschen...
Bildung ist ein Prozeß. Sie ist nicht angeboren, sondern sie wird vermittelt, gelehrt und gelernt. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist die Schrift, die nicht unmittelbar dem Menschen eigen ist, sondern durch Erziehung dem Menschen vom Menschen gegeben wird. Von Einzelfällen abgesehen, erlernt der Heranwachsende die Muttersprache in großer Selbstverständli...
Der 1989 erschienene 15. Band des sogenannten Schinkel-Lebenswerks widmet sich den Bauten und Entwürfen im Ausland. Für Italien ist nur der Entwurf für die architektonische Anordnung des Grabmals Papst Pius' VII. aufgenommen, den er 1824 auf seiner zweiten italienischen Reise für Thorvaldsen angefertigt hatte. Damit scheint das Engagement des Preuß...
