Seit künstlerische Forschung zu einem etablieren Paradigma in der Kunstvermittlung wurde, stellen sich Fragen: Wie bilden wir junge KünstlerInnen und DesignerInnen aus, damit sie sich aktiv an der Produktion von Wissen und ästhetischen Erfahrungen in einem erweiterten Bereich beteiligen? Wie bereiten wir die Studierenden am besten auf ihre eigene künstlerische Forschung vor? Was soll ein Curriculum umfassen, das einer veränderten Lern,- Produktions- und Forschungslandschaft gerecht werden will? Und inwiefern unterscheidet sich die Lehre von «Kunst» von der Lehre «künstlerische Forschung»? Welche besonderen Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen sollte ein Lehrender aufweisen? Auf der Basis eines Symposiums an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien bietet das Buch eine Vielzahl von durchdachten Antworten.

Dementia is a term that encompasses a wide range of symptoms. In Europe alone about 10 million people live with dementia. Where health policy and medical approaches reach their limits, art and design strategies can open up new perspectives for people living with dementia – in terms of their abilities and circumstances and their social environment. This interdisciplinary handbook is aimed at people working and researching in the field of dementia. It offers insights into the possibilities and limitations of artistic and art-related interventions in relation to dementia. This publication brings together contributions from the disciplines of design, architecture, and art, music, and museum education, providing a variety of insights into this multifaceted syndrome.

Interdisciplinary educational turn The challenges of a complex and volatile world require solutions that reconcile divergent perspectives and interests. In schools, interdisciplinarity has been integrated within curricula for decades, yet it is rarely applied as a collaborative practice. Communication between different fields of research is not enough. Without meaningful collaboration, opportunities to connect are lost, and teachers and students fail to benefit from the experience of lived interdisciplinarity. A new periodical, entitled EDU:TRANSVERSAL, presents the latest findings of national and international transversal research as well as the state of the art of interdisciplinarity in didactics. The aim of this annual publication is to stimulate a transversal turn in education. The first issue of a new periodical of transversal research in education New national and international interdisciplinary research on didactics With contributions by Christine Künzli David, Anna Maria Loffredo, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, and others
