Description
Blicke erzeugen Konstruktionen und Dekonstruktionen von Körpern. Schauplatz ist der Alltag in seinen unterschiedlichen Gestalten. Der menschliche Körper fungiert dabei als Zeichensystem, Archiv, Fiktion, Projektionsfläche oder Alphabet. Der Blick, der ihn trifft, kann als Gegner in Erscheinung treten, schneidend oder unzulänglich, kann aber auch selbst aus dem Blick geraten. Den Körper aus diesem Schussfeld der be und abwertenden Blicke zu bringen, ist das Ziel der in diesem Band versammelten Texte und Bilder. Sie verhalten sich wie Spiegel, die Blicke, Perspektiven und Ideen umlenken, um implizite und explizite Lesevorgänge nachvollziehbar zu machen.
--
When the human gaze falls on a body, it constructs and deconstructs it. The setting for this is our daily life in all its different shapes and forms. The human body functions here as a semiotic system, an archive, a fiction, a projection screen, or an alphabet. The gaze that encounters it may manifest as an antagonist-be it incisive or flawed-yet it can itself disappear from view. The texts and images brought together in this volume seek to remove the body from the firing line and away from these judging and derogatory glances. They act as mirrors redirecting looks, points of view, and ideas to enable us to understand implicit and explicit processes of reading.
