This innovative study considers one of the most important art and design movements of the 20th century, the Bauhaus, in conjunction with current research in public relations and organizational communication, elaborating on the mechanisms of internal and external communication available to influence the stakeholders in politics, society, industry, and the art world. In a movement where a substantial share of productivity ran in measures to highlight the public value of the institution funded by the taxpayer, the directors, and other persons in charge, the Bauhaus developed comprehensive strategies to communicate their messages to a variety of target groups such as politicians and economic leaders, intellectuals and other artists, current and prospective students, and the general public. To achieve this goal, the Bauhaus anticipated many instruments of modern public relations and corporate communications, including press releases, staging of events, media publications, community building, lobbying, and the creation of nationwide public presence. Rössler argues that as an organization, the Bauhaus cultivated corporate behavior and, most prominently, a corporate design which unfolded revolutionary power. The basic achievements of new typography (a label coined at the Bauhaus) determine visual communication to this day, while the Bauhaus moved from an institutional organization to a community. Beginning with an overview of the Bauhaus’ corporate identity and a close examination of the respective directors’ roles for internal and external communication, this book visits exhibitions, events, and the media attention they evoked in newspapers and contemporary periodicals, along with media products designed at the Bauhaus such as magazines, books, and bank notes.

Herbert Bayer was one of the most extraordinary artists associated with the Bauhaus school. A true multimedia artist, he united graphic design, art, and architecture in a unique style that came to represent the bold aesthetic approach of the movement. A teacher with the school until 1928, Bayer went on to become a highly successful graphic designer in Germany, and later one of the most prominent figures in the 20th-century art scene of the United States.This broad biographical account, which presents previously unseen archival photographs and episodes from the life of Bayer and other influential Bauhaus artists such as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and László Moholy-Nagy, follows Bayer through the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and finally to his exile in the United States. Shining a light on Bayer’s time in Berlin during the Weimar Republic, and his route out of the Nazi state, Rössler provides rich new insights into how Bauhaus artists navigated a protracted period of social upheaval and dictatorship, where commercial success was fraught with a deep hostility towards the regime and the temptations of emigration.Revealing the tensions of an avant-garde artist struggling to practice during a period of repression, Herbert Bayer, Graphic Designer speaks to both the memory of those who left Nazi Germany, but also the perseverance of artists and intellectuals throughout history who have worked under authoritarian regimes. Drawing on never before interpreted documents, letters and archival material, Rössler tells Bayer’s compelling story – documenting the life of a unique artist and offering a valuable contribution to research in émigré experiences.

A century after the Bauhaus’s founding in 1919, this book reassesses it as more than a highly influential art, architecture, and design school. In myriad ways, emerging ideas about the body in relation to health, movement, gender, and sexuality were at the heart of art and life at the school. Bauhaus Bodies reassesses the work of both well-known Bauhaus members and those who have unjustifiably escaped scholarly scrutiny, its women in particular. In fourteen original, cutting-edge essays by established experts and emerging scholars, this book reveals how Bauhaus artists challenged traditional ideas about bodies and gender. Written to appeal to students, scholars, and the broad public, Bauhaus Bodies will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern art, architecture, design history, and gender studies; it will define conversations and debates during the 2019 centenary of the Bauhaus’s founding and beyond.

Bei der Online-Kommunikation handelt es sich nicht um ein "neues Medium" im ublichen Sinn. Vielmehr vereint der Cyberspace weltweiter Datennetze die Aneignungs- und Anwendungsformen klassischer Medien und erweitert diese um neuartige, online-spezifische Optionen. Dies fordert auch die Medienwirkungsforschung heraus: Sind ihre klassischen Erklarungsmodelle auch in einer veranderten Kommunikationslandschaft noch gultig? Welche neuen Wirkungspotentiale entstehen, und wie schlagt sich dieser Wandel im Zusammenspiel der medialen Kanale nieder? Dieser Band analysiert die Nutzung und die Wirkung von Online-Kommunikation aus der Perspektive verschiedener Forschungsdisziplinen und prasentiert empirische Befunde aus nationalen und internationalen Studien. "(...) Das Buch liefert eine Reihe von aussagefahigen Erklarungsmodellen fur die veranderte Kommunikationslandschaft und vermittelt einen gescharften Blick auf wesentliche Kommunikationsmodi des Internet." sage & schreibe, 1/2-99

Unter dem Eindruck der Dynamik aktueller technologischer Innovationen im Ubergang zur Mediengesellschaft geraten die herkommlichen Strukturen und Prozesse der politischen Meinungs- und Willensbildung immer mehr unter Anpassungsdruck. Das gilt sowohl fur die zentralen politischen Akteure wie Regierung und Verwaltung, Parteien und Verbande als auch fur Presse und Rundfunk. Die raumliche, zeitliche und soziale Entgrenzung der medialen Kommunikationsstrome, die wachsende Differenzierung herkommlicher Rollenzuweisungen, neue Berufsbilder und eine verstarkte Internationalisierung, Expansion und Kommerzialisierung des Mediensystems tun ein Ubriges, um die bisherige Balance zwischen Politik und Massenkommunikation grundlich zu verandern.

Der Band versammelt erstmals Replikationsstudien aus dem Gebiet der empirischen Kommunikationsforschung, die verschiedene Forschungsfelder adressieren: politische Kommunikation, Unterhaltungsforschung, Mediennutzung und -wirkung, Persuasionsforschung, Gesundheitskommunikation.
