This thematic issue of the German art history journal kritische berichte<\/em> gathers analytical approaches to the \u2018phenomenon face\u2019 from different disciplines: neurophysiology, philosophy of the body, cultural history, surgery, medieval history, and the history of art. In their contributions, the authors examine the face as medium and material, as mise-en-scene and matter, as mirror and membrane, producer and recipient \u2013 as a cultural construction and a human determinant. The essays are spurred by their author\u2019s profound involvement with the questions: WHAT IS A FACE? What did and what does it mean, culturally, socially, psychologically, physiologically, aesthetically, historically? What might it look like in the future? What are our assumptions about what a face represents, what it means to lose one\u2019s face, or live with someone else\u2019s face. Often enough, we think of faces as<\/em> identities. But, what does a face tell about \u2018us\u2019 \u2013 individually, culturally, and as a species? Perception and imagination, the belief in images and image making, they all overlap in the face. The book\u2019s trans-disciplinary approach is a first step toward a cultural history of the face. It includes essays by Jean-Claude Schmitt, Bernard Andrieu, Sigrid Weigel, Georges Didi-Huberman, Claudia Schmoelders, Jonathan Cole, and an interview with the facial surgeon Rainer Schmelzeisen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
