Mehr als ein Staubjäckchen
Zu Buchumschlägen kunstwissenschaftlicher Literatur (1910–2018)
Nowhere is the ›stripped‹ book as visible as in the library, where the bared spines of books line up in metres upon metres of shelves. The loss of the dust jacket is therefore as salient as it is familiar. Reason enough to trace the supposedly inconspicuous ›life‹ of the dust jacket. But what exactly is ›a dust jacket‹? What makes it special? And how does it relate to the text within? The author draws our attention to selected writings on art and cultural history, whose outsides and insides interact with one another in unsuspecting ways. We will come to see that dust jackets are manifests of the ideas and aesthetics expressed in the covered books.
