An arresting illustrated history of twins in mythology, science, and visual culture Twins have captivated the imagination for centuries, occupying a unique place in our cultural and scientific history. Twinkind looks at twins in myth and legend; anatomy, sociology, and genetics; and as sources of spectacle, entertainment, and community. Drawing on hundreds of striking and sometimes haunting illustrations, William Viney examines depictions of twins as protagonists in creation stories ranging from Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca in Aztec mythology to Artemis and Apollo in Greek legend. He describes how twins have featured prominently in scientific research across the centuries, but especially in the work of Francis Galton, whose study of twins on the behavioral question of heredity versus environment gave rise to the pseudoscience of eugenics in the late nineteenth century. Viney explores the representation of twins in art, photography, and film—from the works of Roger Ballen to the cinema of Stanley Kubrick—and delves into the darker meanings ascribed to twins across the millennia. A visual journey like no other, this book sheds critical light on the competing visions of twins around the world and throughout history, showing how the lived experience of twinkind has elicited profound attraction and respect, but also puzzlement, fear, and fascination.

Human twins have many meanings and different histories. They have been seen as gods and monsters, signs of danger, death, and sexual deviance. They are taken as objects of wonder and violent repression, the subjects of scientific experiment. Now millions are born through fertility technologies. Their history is often buried in philosophies and medical theories, religious and scientific practices, and countless stories of devotion and tragedy. In this history of superstitions and marvels, fantasies and experiments, William Viney—himself a twin—shows how the use and abuse of twins has helped to shape the world in which we live. This book has been written not just for twins, but for anyone interested in their historical, global, and political impact.

Digital Photography and Everyday Life: Empirical studies on material visual practices explores the role that digital photography plays within everyday life. With contributors from ten different countries and backgrounds in a range of academic disciplines - including anthropology, media studies and visual culture - this collection takes a uniquely broad perspective on photography by situating the image-making process in wider discussions on the materiality and visuality of photographic practices and explores these through empirical case studies. By focusing on material visual practices, the book presents a comprehensive overview of some of the main challenges digital photography is bringing to everyday life. It explores how the digitization of photography has a wide-reaching impact on the use of the medium, as well as on the kinds of images that can be produced and the ways in which camera technology is developed. The exploration goes beyond mere images to think about cameras, mediations and technologies as key elements in the development of visual digital cultures. Digital Photography and Everyday Life will be of great interest to students and scholars of Photography, Contemporary Art, Visual Culture and Media Studies, as well as those studying Communication, Cultural Anthropology, and Science and Technology Studies.

„Deutsche Unternehmen verschlafen die Digitalisierung.“ An dieser vielfach zu hörenden Aussage muss etwas dran sein – zu häufig gibt es warnende Berichte dazu in den Medien. Auf Fachtagungen diskutieren Führungskräfte, Beratungsunternehmen und die Politik intensiv darüber, was zu tun sei. Allianzen werden geschmiedet. Euphorisch werden die Chancen dargestellt oder düstere Bilder davon gezeichnet, was die erfolgreich agierenden Konkurrenten schon so alles auf die Beine gestellt haben. Führungskräfte stehen nun vor der Herausforderung, Antworten auf die Digitalisierung zu finden, Orientierung zu geben und eine Neuausrichtung ihrer Unternehmensstrategien vorzunehmen. Mutige Entscheidungen über das zu treffen, was genau zu tun ist, ist ein komplexer und von vielen Faktoren abhängiger Prozess: Was häufig fehlt, ist eine (lukrative) Digitalstrategie. Dieses Buch soll Sie als Führungskraft aus dem Business, dem Öffentlichen Dienst oder der Unternehmens-IT von der Digitalisierung überzeugen, die Digitalisierung konkreter beschreiben und aufzeigen, wie eine digitale Transformation gelingen kann.
