This photo series captures moments of periphery in Croatian Istria with 26 bus stops. Documentary and conceptual, the photographic cartography approaches the different perceptions of the places. Ed Ruscha’s methodology, and in particular his photographic series Twentysix Gasoline Stations, serve as a method and inspiration to examine the stops and their identity in the urban fabric. With this photographic concept as well as the texts, the observations are presented analytically and at the same time unfold a greater poetic meaning. How does it feel to live in the environs of urban reality? The book transmits the fascination for simple building methods, locations as well as the aesthetics of decay.

“Everything is art. Everything is politics,” says internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei. His statement informs this comprehensive book that features sculptural installations, photographs, and videos from every aspect of the artist’s forty- year career and touches on many contemporary social issues. The works featured in the book include Straight, Ai’s gigantic installation made from 150 tons of rebar salvaged from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which comments on governmental corruption and negligence, and Sunflower Seeds for which the artist filled the enormous Turbine Hall of London's Tate Modern with 100,000,000 porcelain seeds, each made by Chinese craftspeople. Also highlighted are his most recent works addressing the refugee crisis, such as Laundromat and Life Cycle; his provocative ventures into social media; and several early works. Wide-ranging and penetrating, this collection of Ai’s most important work to date illustrates the depth of his conviction that art is most powerful when it raises awareness and incites change.

In den 1960er Jahren sicherte die DDR-Regierung ihre Macht einerseits durch die Militarisierung der Gesellschaft und andererseits durch die Einschüchterung Andersdenkender. Maßnahmen wie der Mauerbau 1961 und die Einführung der Wehrpflicht 1962 führten zum Widerstandsverhalten christlicher Individuen und Gruppen aufgrund ihrer friedensethischen Überzeugungen. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich der Frage, wie sich in den 1960er Jahren die Benachteiligung von Christen in der DDR gestaltete und welche Formen von Widerstand zu beobachten sind. Versammelt sind hier 17 Beiträge, die anlässlich der Jenaer Tagung "Diskriminierung von Christen in den 1960er Jahren der DDR" vom 27. bis 29. September 2021 von Expertinnen und Experten verschiedener Disziplinen verfasst wurden. Der Fokus richtet sich zunächst auf die Militarisierung der Gesellschaft aus religionssoziologischer, militärtheoretischer, kirchenpolitischer und bildungspraktischer Perspektive. Danach werden Formen des christlichen Widerstandes untersucht, die das DDR-Regime zu staatlichen Gegenmaßnahmen provozierten. Anschließend werden spezifische Arten von Diskriminierung christlicher Individuen und Gruppen analysiert und kategorisiert. Schließlich erfolgt eine konfessionelle Ausdifferenzierung der Thematik, in der Diskriminierungen speziell von Zeugen Jehovas, Mennoniten, Katholiken und Protestanten in den Blick genommen werden. Abgerundet wird der Sammelband durch ein Interview mit Rainer Eppelmann, der als Pfarrer, Bürgerrechtler, Politiker und ehemaliger Minister für Abrüstung und Verteidigung der letzten DDR-Regierung wirkte.
