It is necessary for every discipline to take Stock of its own current state every 20-30 years. Such review helps determine the discipline's path and tasks for the coming decades, and it also facilitates reflection upon the changes and challenges of the scientific and non-scientific world around it. For this purpose, the Ethnography Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences organized a Series of Conferences between 2018 and 2020 on the current situation and future of ethnography, the proceedings of which are included in this volume. The volume addresses a wide range of readers - inside and outside the discipline - by providing the institutions and researchers of this discipline with reference points for further investigations, and by providing members of the public with authentic information about current and future research carried out with the purpose of exploring and preserving cultural heritage.

In Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance, Janie Paul introduces readers to the culture and aesthetics of prison art communities, and shares heart wrenching, poignant, and often surprisingly humorous artists’ narratives. The United States is the most incarcerating nation in the world. More than two million people are locked behind bars, where they endure the degradation and violence of a dehumanizing system. But in prisons around the country, incarcerated people have regained their dignity by creating objects of beauty, meaning, and value. These powerful stories and images upend the manufactured stereotypes of those living in prison, imparting a real human dimension—a critical step in the movement to end mass incarceration.  For 27 years, Paul has traveled throughout Michigan to meet artists and select work for the project she co-founded: The Annual Exhibitions of Artists in Michigan Prisons, an initiative of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Pedagogical as well as curatorial, the project has provided crucial validation for the artists. Making Prison Art features over 200 images of their extraordinary work.  Delving deeply into the ways in which incarcerated artists create meaning through their artistic practice, Paul explains how the making, sharing, and formation of artistic friendships within prisons can constitute acts of resistance against the violence and banality of prison life. Most of the artists did not make art before coming to prison. Their accomplishments show that art making need not be a privilege of the few, but is rather a basic human need, and in these circumstances, a necessary means of survival. Making Art in Prison reveals—through the eyes of the artists who have lived through it—what mass incarceration looks and feels like in the United States. It reveals the ways in which they keep their humanity intact; it invites us to reflect on our own humanity and the problem of living in a country that incarcerates more of its population than any other nation in the world. It also invites us to look closely at the images and appreciate the richness of life and luminosity emerging from the darkest corner of our country.

Coros y Danzas explores how women of the early Franco regime (1939-53) adapted rural music traditions and Spanish nationalism according to different political circumstances. The Sección Femenina of the fascist Falange party shaped traditional Spanish songs and dances to promote ideas of Catholic morality, helped legitimize colonial involvement in Spain's African territories, and formed political ties with the Allied powers after the Second World War.

Als Gründungsmitglied der CoBrA-Gruppe gehörte Karel Appel einer der wichtigsten europäischen Nachkriegs-Avantgarden an, als Maler der Nouvelle École de Paris feierte er in den 1950er Jahren erste Erfolge. Zwischen New York und Paris pendelnd, suchte er zeitlebens die künstlerische Konfrontation mit dem Unbekannten: ein ungewohnter Stil, ein besonderes Motiv, der Wechsel zwischen Skulptur und Malerei. Das Buch dokumentiert drei sehr verschiedene Ausstellungen mit Werken Appels, die in den Galerien Max Hetzler Berlin und London zwischen 2020 und 2022 zu sehen waren. Die jüngste Schau zeigte den Einfluss von Appels erstem Besuch in New York: Hier fand er einerseits zur Aktionsmalerei, als deren Höhepunkt sein wandfüllendes, über Nacht vor Ort gemaltes Bild für die Documenta 1964 vertreten ist, andererseits nahm er das .u.erst akademische Sujet der Aktmalerei auf ganz und gar unakademische Weise auf. Im Zentrum des Buchs steht dann eine retrospektive Auswahl des dreidimensionalen Werks von Bronze und Terracotta-Arbeiten über Objektmalereien bis zu absurd-poetischen Assemblagen karnevalistischer Fundstücke. Zuletzt kehrte Appel in überdimensionalen Zeichnungen und expressionistischen Gemälden der 1980er und '90er Jahrezum Akt-Thema zurück. So folgt das Buch drei Linien mit vielen Verzweigungen durch ein OEuvre von 60 Jahren, in dem es noch viel zu entdecken gibt.In Zusammenarbeit mit Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris | London

In 1942 Missouri Pettway, newly suffering the loss of her husband, pieced together a quilt out of his old, worn work clothes. Nearly six decades later her daughter Arlonzia Pettway, approaching eighty at the time and a seasoned quiltmaker herself, readily recalled the cover made by her grieving mother within the small African American farming community of Gee's Bend, Alabama. At once a story of grief, a quilt, and a community, 'Stitching Love and Loss' connects Missouri Pettway's cotton covering to the history of a place, its residents, and the work of mourning. Interpreting varied sources of history and memory, Lisa Gail Collins engages crucial and enduring questions, simultaneously singular and shared: What are the languages, practices, and processes of mourning? How is loss expressed and remembered? What are the roles for creativity in grief? And how might a closely crafted material object, in its conception, construction, use, and memory, serve the work of grieving a loved one? Placing this singular quilt within its historical and cultural context, Collins illuminates the perseverance and creativity of the African American women quilters in this rural Black Belt community.
