Topographien der Grenze

More about the book

C. Kleinschmidt explores the theory of boundaries and their implications across disciplines. F. Kurbacher reflects on the relationship between thought traditions and performativity in defining limits. R. Guldin examines Vilém Flusser's view of boundaries as meeting points, while D. Schweitzer discusses spatial delineations in network theories. A. Vasilache addresses statehood as a political methodology for boundary creation, and A. Komlosy traces the historical evolution of state borders in Europe. The intersection of art and boundaries is examined by C. Hewel, who differentiates between applied and free art, and N. T. Rymar, who presents boundaries as symbolic mechanisms in artistic languages. C. Kleinschmidt further investigates the limits of the arts through a material-aesthetic lens. G. Pulvirenti and R. Gambino analyze the image as a boundary between visibility and invisibility, while D. Eschkötter delves into geopolitics and rhetoric in Heinrich von Kleist's works. S. Catani discusses the topology of exile in the contexts of Kafka and Sebald. The cultural, linguistic, and subjective dimensions of boundaries are explored by J. Glasenapp, L. R. Feierstein, C. Pollmann, and C. Jürgensen/I. Irsigler, who consider the individualization of boundaries through law, money, and time, as well as linguistic hybridization in transcultural literature.
