Publication Series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna Eva Blimlinger, Andrea B. Braidt, Karin Riegler (Series Eds.) VOLUME 21 On the Publication Series We are pleased to present the latest volume in the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna’s publication series. The series, published in cooperation with our highly com- mitted partner Sternberg Press, is devoted to central themes of contemporary thought about art practices and theories. The volumes comprise contribu- tions on subjects that form the focus of discourse in art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and represent the quintessence of international study and discussion taking place in the respective fields. Each volume is published in the form of an anthology, edited by staff members of the academy. Authors of high international repute are invited to make contributions that deal with the respective areas of emphasis. Research activities such as international conferences, lecture series, institute- specific research focuses, or research projects serve as points of departure for the individual volumes. All books in the series undergo a single blind peer review. International re- viewers, whose identities are not disclosed to the editors of the volumes, give an in-depth analysis and evaluation for each essay. The editors then rework the texts, taking into consideration the suggestions and feedback of the reviewers who, in a second step, make further comments on the revised essays.

The Cabinet’s weekly meeting is expected to end with instructions for the Interior Ministry to reinforce security at border checkpoints, especially the northern Abdaly checkpoint in order to prevent infiltrators asso- ciated with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant from making their way in or out of Kuwait, said informed sources. The Cabinet is also expected to make a decision to send humanitarian aid to Iraqi refugees from cities con- trolled by ISIL troops, and coordinate with the Iraqi gov- ernment and the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council states in this regard, said the sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not author- ized to speak publicly about the matter. This comes amid reports indicating that army intelli- gence sent a recommendation to the Kuwait Army General Staff Headquarters to raise the armed forces’ level of alert to level 3, which requires that one third of forces from all sectors of the army must remain in their camps.
