Dealing with forces is part of the basic inventory of artistic processes. In giving shape and movement to material, such forces are manifested in a specific form; as push and pull, for example, as heaviness and lightness, but also as attachment and dissolution. The articles in the book examine notions of formative and motive forces using examples from art, music, dance, theater, photography and literature. The questions posed not only cover how historical notions of force (such as energeia and vis from ancient rhetoric) are adopted, taken further, and correlated with mechanically, metaphysically and organologically based concepts of force, but also how, in the examination of form and movement, the inherent concepts of force are manifested or presented in a new light.

Julia Weber’s book demonstrates how Aristotle’s understanding of virtual forces as undetectable but nonetheless effective has shaped philosophical discourse up until the modern age. It traces developments from philosophical debate about the existence of virtual forces in antiquity and the Middle Ages to the emergence of virtual spaces in the early modern period, and the appearance of virtual worlds in 18th-century literature. In this way, it reveals the seldom traced continuities and shifts between ancient philosophical discussion of forces and contemporary virtual realities. Look Inside

Depictions of disaster in literature and art highlight a fundamental contradiction: on the one hand, natural disasters appear to challenge the symbolic order; at the same time, they have always been interpreted culturally. Poetry itself has contributed to the emergence of such interpretative patterns. However, it is not only capable of reflecting on its own interpretative action, but also of problematising and blocking that same process. Against this backdrop, Laura Isengard examines forces of nature as described in selected texts from German-language realism as a crisis-ridden “perceptual disorder”. The tension between realism and idealism is visualised using the example of narrated natural catastrophe. Innovative reassessment of German-language realism using the example of narrated natural catastrophesLinking literary, cultural and perception theories

Was the post-antique depiction of cast shadows really a Florentine innovation of the 1420s, as Giorgio Vasari and subsequent scholarship have led us to believe? In this study, Gerd Mathias Micheluzzi undertakes the first comprehensive examination of this question, combining art-historical inquiry with an interdisciplinary approach. Through detailed analyses of Early Christian mosaics, medieval knowledge traditions, and Italian illuminated manuscripts, wall and panel paintings from the 14th and early 15th centuries, he demonstrates that the cast shadow occupied a more substantial role in pre-Renaissance visual culture than has hitherto been acknowledged. His study uncovers a rich history of visual experimentation, in which developments were intertwined yet neither constant nor teleologically directed towards the imitation of nature.First systematic study of the cast shadow in Italian painting, literature, and natural philosophy of the Middle AgesRevises a long-standing topos in art history
