Beschreibung
This series will reconstruct and explain the shifting balances, the
complementarity and contradictions, between the potentials of improved
intercultural and transcultural visual communication and its strategic
exploitation through visual hegemonies. We will also enhance the
cooperation of the computer sciences, humanities, and social sciences and
the development of software for modeling key visuals from various genres,
media, and cultural zones. Volume 1 exemplifies this international
research endeavor in a general trans-disciplinary outline as well as case
studies from the perspectives of musicology, psychology, and the social
sciences.
