This book links two fields of interest which are too seldom
considered together: the production and critique of art in public
space and social behaviour in the public realm. Whilst most writing
about public art has focused on the aesthetic, cultural and
political intentions and processes that shape its production, this
edited collection examines a variety of public artworks from the
perspective of their actual everyday use. Contributors are
interested in the rich diversity of peoples' engagements with
public artworks across various spatial and temporal scales,
encounters which do not limit themselves to the representational
aspects of the art, and which are not necessarily as the artist,
curator or sponsor intended. Case studies consider a broad range of
public art, including commissioned and unofficial artworks,
memorials, street art, street furniture, performance art, sound art
and media installations.

This volume focusses on contradiction as a key concept in the
Humanities and Social Sciences. By bringing together theoretical
and empirical contributions from a broad disciplinary spectrum, the
volume advances research in contradiction and on contradictory
phenomena, laying the foundations for a new interdisciplinary field
of research: Contradiction Studies. Dealing with linguistic
phenomena, urban geographies, business economy, literary writing
practices, theory of the social sciences, and language education,
the contributions show that contradiction, rather than being a
logical exemption in the Aristotelian sense, provides a valuable
approach to many fields of socially, culturally, and historically
relevant fields of research.
Der Band befasst sich mit dem Verhaltnis von Stadt und
Infrastruktur, von Urbanisierung und Infrastrukturentwicklung. Je
nach Konstellation symbolisieren und reproduzieren Infrastrukturen
gesellschaftliche Beziehungen, koennen diese aber auch mit
hervorbringen und stabilisieren. Das Verschwinden eines
erkenntnistheoretisch eigenstandigen Raums jenseits der Stadt fuhrt
dazu, dass aus der Analyse von stadtischen Phanomenen zunehmend
Erkenntnisse uber Merkmale der Gesellschaft insgesamt zu erwarten
sind. Die mit diesem Band vorgelegte Auseinandersetzung mit
Infrastrukturen der Stadt offenbart damit grundlegende Mechanismen
und Funktionsweisen der heutigen Gesellschaft.
