Towards the end of Caesar's Gallic War, Rome had reached the Rhine.
Since the campaigns under Emperor Augustus (15 B.C.), larger troop
contingents were stationed along the river, with focal points
around Mogontiacum/Mainz and in northern Switzerland. After the
Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9 AD), when the attempt to occupy
all of Germania had failed, the Lower Rhine remained the frontier
of the empire's territory until Late Antiquity. East of the Middle
and Upper Rhine, however, the Roman sphere of power was pushed
forward several times over a period of almost 200 years, and from
90 AD at the latest, the construction of artificial borders was
initiated. When the Roman expansion came to an end around 160 AD,
the province was secured in its furthest extension by the "Frontal"
or "Outer Upper-Germanic Limes", which existed until the middle of
the 3rd century. This book illustrates the historical and
archaeological significance of the Upper Germanic Limes and
provides an up-to-date overview of its manifold features in the
field.
Acoustic signals, voice, sound, articulation, music and spatial
networking are dispositifs of radiophonic transmission which have
brought forth a great number of artistic practices. Up to and into
the digital present radio has been and is employed and explored as
an apparatus-based structure as well as an expanded model for
performance and perception. This volume investigates a broad range
of aesthetic experiments with the broadcasting technology of radio,
and the use of radio as a means of disseminating artistic concepts.
With exemplary case studies, its contributions link conceptual,
recipient-response-related, and sociocultural issues to matters of
relevance to radio art's mediation.
