The works of Francis Turner Palgrave:a descriptive survey

Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897) is best known for his "Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language". It was an immediate bestseller at its appearance in 1861, has been expanded and reprinted to the present day, and is considered to be the most important anthology in the literary history of England. It has been so dominant that it has overshadowed Palgrave’s other impressive work. For one, he was a leading art critic, praised or feared by some, but taken seriously by all. For another, he was a tireless historian and critic of English, Classical, and European literature, his efforts crowned by his tenure as Professor of Poetry in Oxford from 1885 to 1895. He was also a respected poet, who produced six volumes of poetry and numerous poems in journals ands for special occasions. And in addition he published three novels, stories and plays for children, numerous editions of poets, collections of hymns, and anthologies. The aim of the present undertaking, the first descriptive survey of all his works, is to make these works known so that he may be accorded a proper place in the cultural history of the Victorian Age. <br/

The Reality of the Imaginary

Schon seit einiger Zeit wird die Architektur durch die neue Realität des Imaginären der digitalen Welt erschüttert. Mit dem digital turn sind wir Zeugen einer zunehmenden Liquidisierung einer Grenze zwischen der digitalen Bilder- und der materiellen Objektwelt. Dennoch, ob Idolatrie oder Ikonophilie, ob Handskizze oder Perspektive, war die Architektur nicht immer schon vom Bild her gedacht? War sie nicht immer schon eine Praxis medialer Grenzüberschreitung? Die Beiträge des Bauhaus-Kolloquiums gehen der Frage nach dem Grenzgängertum der Architektur zwischen Bild und Raum, zwischen Zeichenhaftigkeit und Vergegenständlichung, zwischen Realität und Imaginarität nach.The new digital media technologies have been unsetting architecture for quite some time. Since the digital turn of the 90ies we are witnessing a steady liquidification of the boundaries between the world of digital images and the world of material objects. Yet, has architecture not always been a practice that crosses media boundaries? The Bauhaus Colloquium will address the permanent border crossing in architecture between image and space, between sign and and objects as well as between the material world of objects and the imaginary worlds of images
