The Ico Play, the term project in Cultural History, is a multifaceted production whose complexity parallels an architectural project. It is spatial and narrative. It is conceptual and material. It is interactive and multilayered. The organizational process is three-fold: grassroots, top-down, and ultimately lateral, as all involved in this design-build process continue to integrate and optimize elements all the way up to opening night.

Historical epistemology is a form of intellectual history focused on “the history of categories that structure our thought, pattern our arguments and proofs, and certify our standards for explanation” (Lorraine Daston). Under this umbrella, historians have been studying the changing meanings of “objectivity,” “impartiality,” “curiosity,” and other virtues believed to be conducive to good scholarship. While endorsing this historicization of virtues and their corresponding vices, the present article argues that the meaning and relative importance of these virtues and vices can only be determined if their mutual dependencies are taken into account. Drawing on a detailed case study—a controversy that erupted among nineteenth-century orientalists over the publication of R. P. A. Dozy's De Israëlieten te Mekka (The Israelites in Mecca) (1864)—the paper shows that nineteenth-century orientalists were careful to examine (1) the degree to which Dozy practiced the virtues they considered most important, (2) the extent to which these virtues were kept in balance by other ones, (3) the extent to which these virtues were balanced by other scholars’ virtues, and (4) the extent to which they were expected to be balanced by future scholars’ work. Consequently, this article argues that historical epistemology might want to abandon its single-virtue focus in order to allow balances, hierarchies, and other dependency relations between virtues and vices to move to the center of attention.

How to write the history of philosophy of history? This article argues that a discursive approach, focused on the use and meaning of such essentially contested concepts like “history” and “objectivity,” is more appropriate for the field at hand than, for example, an institutional approach. By way of example, the article provides a brief history of “metahistory” – the title word of perhaps the most influential study in philosophy of history since R.G. Collingwood’s The Idea of History. It argues that Hayden White’s understanding of the term closely resembles that of Christopher Dawson, a British Roman Catholic author on whom White wrote a lengthy article in the late 1950s. Evidence suggests, moreover, that White actually borrowed the term from Dawson or, more broadly, from a mid-twentieth-century, European, religiously inspired tradition of historical thought. In sum, this article suggests a new genealogy of “metahistory” and, in doing so, advocates a discursively oriented mode of writing the history of twentieth-century philosophy of history.

This article examines Oswald Spengler's claim that similarities may be discerned in the style of mathematics, art and music developed by a particular High Culture – looking first at his discussions of the Ancient Greeks and how their thought-processes differed from that of Western Europeans, as well as from the Persians and Arabs. An attempt is then made to extend Spengler's theory to the Ancient Egyptians (referring to their Rhind Papyrus) and to the Sino-Japanese (by appealing to their 'Sangaku' mathematical art-forms). Finally, it is suggested that we may already be able to identify certain distinctive features and characteristics of the recently born Russian Culture.

For human perception, processing and cognition of moving images (whether they are interactive or not) the systems of the mental and the physical are crucial. Only in the interactive context of bodily participation, sensual addressing and cognitive organization emerges the phenomenal and semiotic dimension of understanding and experience; that shapes the actions of processing and cognition of media stimuli.
The conference focusses on the diverse and complex interactions between the images and their specific media, the actions of perception and processing, which can be captured and analysed in connection with somatic and mental processes.
In this context questions are raised about phenomenological and/or semiotic analysis of the processes of perception and reception of multimodal artefacts, about the diagrammatical and temporal structure of moving images (like movies or games), or about the role of senso-motoric processing of interactive images, which seems to be a crucial part of the reception of interactive images.
The conference is organized by the Research Group Moving Image Science Kiel. It takes place in the senators room (Sokratesplatz 2, Floor 7, Build) on campus of the University of Applied Sciences Kiel. The conference languages are German and English, the participation is free of charge. The registration to the conference is possible per email via kontakt@bewegtbildwissenschaft.de.
