From the 18th century onwards, the museum as an institution has
seen an upsurge which especially in Europe and in China has led to
new creations and to the redesigning of established facilities in
recent years. Simultaneously, the scholarly reflection on
exhibitions has become an academic discipline in its own right. The
term and the phenomenon of cultural heritage, being a seemingly
counter-directed movement between local, regional and national
reference points on the one hand and global sites representing the
entire heritage of humankind on the other, compose the background
music to a recent cultural evolution labelled glocalization. The
essays shed light on the complex developments by taking different
perspectives and elaborating the present situation by means of
contemporary examples.
The digital humanities intensify the cooperation between the
science disciplines in terms of working tools, working methods, and
working organization, and in terms of formulating research
strategies and scientific objectives. The design for researching
the networking of disciplines, approaches, and objects is reflected
in the terms "Document - Object - Genesis". This volume discusses
the possibilities and limits in a wider factual and theoretical
context using the example of the joint venture project entitled
"Weser sandstone as global cultural asset - Innovation in the
construction industry and its worldwide spread in the
pre-industrial era (16th to 19th century)", in which art and
architectural history, economic history, information technology,
and architecture are discussed.
In the mid 18th century an important reorientation became
discernible in Enlightenment discourse. One-sided rationalism was
replaced by a conception of the 'whole person' extending its
purview to sensual perception and sensibility as an experiential
domain of Reason. Against this background, 13 scholars from various
disciplines examine what effects this anthropological turn had on
utopian literature and the forms of landscape gardening and
architecture influenced by it. A remarkable feature of this joint
undertaking is that it is the first of its kind to take an
interdisciplinary perspective on this paradigmatic change and its
implications.
