  • More participation through rationale cultural mediation โ€“ Mehr kulturelle Teilhabe durch rationale Kulturvermittlung (publication in German)

    Wanda Wieczorek with a contribution by Markus Rieger-Ladich (2018).

    Art and culture are there for every one. However, offers in this domain only reach a segregated group of people. Why is this so? And how can we try to change this?

    The publication tries to address these questions. On the basis of a practice-oriented project conducted in the field from which the difficulties of a participation and a contribution in the decision-making process clearly emerged, it asks for a ยปrationaleยซ art education and cultureal mediation โ€“ free from any idealizations and close to reality and practice with an open gaze for its limitations and possibilities.

    The theoretical grounding for these considerations is provided within education science by Markus Rieger-Ladich. In his contribution he shows how pertinent the concepts by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu are for the understanding and discussion of participatory processes.

  • On the Representation of Pedagogical Work in the Art Field

    Carmen Mรถrsch / Sigrid Schade / Sophie Vรถgele (Dec. 2017)

    What is possibly displayed, revealed or produced when art education is pictured through documentation, notification, announcement, and art work? This anthology introduces new perspectives of art education to the field of Visual Studies by applying a critique of representation and expanding critical analyses. It encourages multiple ways of interrupting dominant modes of representing.

  • Carmen Mรถrsch / Angeli Sachs / Thomas Sieber

    How is work at museums altered when practices of display, exhibition and mediation are considered to be a conceptually integrated part of the museum? In the context of a critical museology, museums are inquired in their societal role and are conceived as places of shared knowledge where history and the present are intertwined.
