Barbara Baert: "Looking Into the Rain"
De nieuwe publicatie van Barbara Baert, hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis aan de KU Leuven en lid van de Klasse Kunsten, is zopas verschenen bij uitgeverij De Gruyter. Haar werk verbindt kennis en vragen uit de ideeëngeschiedenis, culturele antropologie en filosofie. Hier is een korte teaser van het nieuwe boek "Looking Into the Rain. Magic. Moisture. Medium.":
Humankind has traditionally had a special relationship with the atmospheric characteristics of their environment, especially when it comes to rain. Using unique and expertly developed cases - from prehistoric cave paintings up to the meaning of rain in photography and cinema - this book casts new light on a theme that is both ecological and iconological, both natural and cultural-historical.
