About this product
Product Information
If mediatization has surprisingly revealed the secret life of inert matter and the 'face of things', the flipside of this has been the petrification of living organisms, an invasion of stone bodies in a state of suspended animation. Within a contemporary imaginary pervaded by new forms of animism, the paradigm of death looms large in many areas of artistic experimentation, pushing the modern body towards mineral modes of being which revive ancient myths of flesh-made-stone and the issue of the monument. Scholars in media, visual culture and the arts propose studies of bodies of stone, from actors simulating statues to the transmutation of the filmic body into a fossil; from the real treatment of the cadaver as a mineral living object to the rediscovery of materials such as wax; from the quest for a 'thermal' equivalence between stone and flesh to the transformation of the biomedical body into a living monument.

Reviews
"Die Kapitel sind alle fundiert recherchiert und sprachlich klar formuliert, so dass es neben dem Erkenntnisgewinn auch eine Freude ist, die Texte zu lesen. Schon die thematische Einleitung der Herausgeber_innen enthält spannende Informationen sowie philosophische und ästhetik-theoretische Ansätze, die später in einer größeren Tiefe wieder aufgenommen werden, ohne eine zu komplizierte Sprache zu bemühen. Sicher ist es nicht zu viel gesagt, wenn man in dieser umfassenden, interdisziplinären Publikation ein neues Standardwerk zur intermedialen Erforschung visueller Darstellungsformen von ,Körpern aus Stein' erkennt. Somit sei dieses Buch allen, die das Thema interessiert, wärmstens ans Herz gelegt." - Iris Haist (Köln/Plauen), MEDIENwissenschaft01/2022
