Ökologien des Ausdrucks

Ecologies of Expressionresponds to recent reconsiderations of the relationships between art and nature, animacy and agency. With multidisciplinary approaches ranging from art and film history to philosophy and the history of science, the texts in this volume reimagine expression beyond the anthropocentric categories of an inherited naturalistic world-picture. The historical and theoretical manifestations of the expressive provide new insights into the manifold interconnections and mutual integrations of biological, aesthetic and psychological knowledge.
