The unexpected change of the throne from Tsar Peter II to Tsarina Anna in 1730 was an event of European dimensions. A look at the diplomatic networks reveals that it was less the events in the Russian Empire itself that were adequately described than the reports mostly reflecting rumors and stereotypical evaluations. In 1730 a woman was raised to tsarina for the first time in her own right. The consideration of gender reveals specifics of female domination. The Russian nobility also wanted to impose power restrictions on Anna. These events endangered the already fragile European alliances, which the Tsarina immediately knew how to consolidate. By questioning an often assumed east-west dichotomy, European entanglements and interdependencies between the courtyards can be shown. The polycentric and actor-related approach of the book enables new insights into the various types and channels of communication of the diplomatic network of European ambassadors in the early modern period.

"Vol. 1: Life Giotto (?1334) is the first European artist about whom it is possible to write following the schema of ""life and work"". The situation of the sources, however, is complicated: On Giotto's life, there are - on the one hand - biographical accounts from the mid-fourteenth century onwards that responded to various ideological requirements (patriotism, humanism, Renaissance ideology, cult of the artist); on the other, there is extensive documentary material from Giotto's lifetime, which seems to reflect less the biography of an artist than that of a bourgeois businessman resolutely climbing the social ladder. The present volume focuses on this second aspect of the Giotto figure's double life relating it to the form of existence of the pre-modern artist. Vol. 2: Works The paintings examined and contextualised in this volume are those secured for Giotto through early written sources. These sources also help to reconstruct the sequence of his works and artistic inventions as is plausible in the context of media culture in the decades around and after 1300: while Giotto was spiritually and intellectually formed in the sphere of the Florentine Dominicans, his artistic path began in Rome in the shadow of the Curia. The breakthrough to his own artistic concept came immediately before and during his work in Padua. In addition to prominent churchmen, ecclesiastical institutions, and the King of Naples, his clients were predominantly members of Italy's urban and financial elites. The adoption and further development of his inventions by other - especially Sienese - painters pressured him in his later years to try new approaches again. Vol. 3: Survival Giotto is considered by many to be the founder of modern painting. This thesis is discussed and modified in the present volume on an empirical basis. What emerges is that Giotto's impact cannot be reduced simply to the introduction of the study of nature. Rather, his art was involved in the development of pictorial idioms that were attuned to the skills and interests of their audiences. The new approaches in his painting contributed in particular to the possibility of examining and communicating psychological, narrative and allegorical content of great complexity outside the media of language and text, which not only changed the face of European art but certainly contributed to the intellectual opening of Western societies."

Robert Musils Werk wird oft als undurchdringlich und deshalb schwer verstandlich beschrieben. Seine Texte zeichnen sich durch Vielschichtigkeit und Mehrdeutigkeit - Interdiskursivitat - aus. Der neue Online-Kommentar macht sich gerade diese Offenheit zu eigen und fachert sie auf, um Zugange zu schaffen, Musils Werk zu erschliessen ohne es zu begrenzen. Denn nicht das eine Verstehen ist Ziel der Kommentierung, sondern die immer wieder neue Perspektive, die jeden Text zur unendlichen Lekture werden lasst. Statt einer vermeintlichen Wirklichkeit lasst der Online-Kommentar die unbegrenzten Moglichkeiten sichtbar werden, die Musils Werk auszeichnen. Parallel verlauft demnach nicht nur die sogenannte Aktion in "Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften" - parallel bietet der Online-Kommentar die unzahligen, naher und weiter verzweigten Bezuge in und zu Musils Texten an.
