Als Aby Warburg im September 1895 in die USA aufbrach, war nicht absehbar, dass seine Suche nach den symbolischen Grundlagen der Kunst zu einem der faszinierendsten Ereignisse der Wissenschaftsgeschichte seines Fachs werden würde. Warburgs amerikanische Reise währte nur Monate, sein Aufenthalt in den Pueblo-Gebieten nur wenige Wochen, aber 1923 legte er seine Erkenntnisse im wegweisenden Vortrag zum »Schlangenritual« dar. Anhand ausgewählter Fotografien, ethnologischer Zeichnungen sowie zahlreicher Dokumente regt dieses Geschichten- und Bilderbuch zu einer Entdeckungsreise an. Es durchquert einen ausgedehnten Forschungskontinent, zeigt Warburgs diverse Gesprächspartner – vom Häuptling bis zum Missionar – und insbesondere seine Sammlung von Ritualgegenständen und Kunstwerken voller symbolischer Darstellungen. Die Dokumente sind Zeugnisse des sich abzeichnenden Umbruchs in Warburgs wissenschaftlichem Denken, der schließlich zur grenzüberschreitenden kulturkomparatistischen Methodik führt, für die Aby Warburg heute weltweit geschätzt wird.

Dieses Buch ist auch auf Deutsch erhältlich.

ABY WARBURG (1866–1929) begründete mit seiner Arbeit die moderne Bildwissenschaft. Sein Hauptthema galt der Untersuchung des Nachlebens der Antike in der Renaissance, die er in seinem ikonischen Bilderatlas Mnemosyne festhielt. Die Amerikareise ist ein Beleg, wie früh Warburg seinen Blick bereits über den westlichen Kulturkontext hinaus richtete, um das Zusammenwirken von Mythen, Bildern und Riten zu erforschen. UWE FLECKNER (*1961) zählt zu den ausgewiesenen Warburg-Experten. Seit 2004 ist er Professor für Kunstgeschichte an der Universität Hamburg und leitet das dortige Warburg-Haus. Als Mitherausgeber der Gesammelten Werke Carl Einsteins und Aby Warburgs hat er zahlreiche Publikationen zum Thema vorgelegt.

Great buy!
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Great product. I'm glad I bought this to replace my old, cheap one that I got from Ikea. I like that it has double whisk as it does froth my liquids really well. I like the speed of it and it's easy to use and wash. The battery life is pretty long as well. I haven't charged it since I got it.

Pretty darn good frother...
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
This is a pretty darn good frother/whisk, which we use primarily for mixing Crystal Light and LMNT drinks. It holds a charge for a long time and it is easy to recharge with the USB-C port and cable. My only complaint is that you must hold the power button continuously while operating it which is challenging to do using tall cups. It would be much better if is was a two stage on-off switch and had a longer wand, which isn't as long as it could be. But the unit is lightweight, easy to use and very versatile. Overall, I would buy it again.

Works great!
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I bought this because the frother I had was very weak. Even with new batteries, it just never had much oomph. I liked the idea of it being rechargeable and no more batteries! I expected to have to charge it when it came, but it had full power. I have used it every day since it arrived, and it hasn't slowed down a bit. It is easy to use, just pushing down with my thumb on the top. I also love that it has a lid/case. When I bring it on a trip it is fully protected from damage. I highly recommend this frother. It is the best one I have had - and I have had quite a few.

Powerful Frother and Great Value
Color: P-Stand & Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
This little frother was a great find and value. Super happy with its performance. It has two speeds available, but I’ve only needed the lower setting because it’s so powerful. I’ve tried two other brands (one cheaper and one more expensive) and this one is by far the best! I’ve had it for 3 weeks, use it daily 2-3 times per day and it still hasn’t needed to be charged.

Easy to use Easy to charge High quality Frothier would recommend
Color: P-Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
This works insanely well. I use it every night for making ninja creami ice cream smooth for the next day. Easy to clean and very reliable. The speed is good and recharging is very easy as well. I would recommend this frothier to who ever needs to a hand held mixing machine thats easy to use.
