Dieter Roth (1930–1998) was an artist of astonishing breadth and diversity, producing graphics, drawings, paintings, sculptures, assemblages, and installation works involving sound recordings and video. He was also a composer, musician, poet, and writer. Roth was particularly noted for his influential artist's books, including Literaturwurst (1961–74), a series of books made using traditional sausage recipes but replacing the sausage meat with pages torn from other publications. Roth kept diaries and notebooks throughout his life, using and reusing them in his art and writing. The idea of keeping a diary—finding a way to record the passing of time and document his life—is a fundamental theme of his artwork. Illustrations of pages from Roth's diaries and copybooks of his major works, including A Diary (1982), Flat Waste (1975), Solo Scenes (1997–98), and Bar II (1983–97), accompany art historical assessments by contemporary scholars and contributions from his peer Jan Vos and his son Björn Roth.

Dieter Roth's unique and eclectic Tischmatten ("Table Mats") incorporate drawings, paintings, photographs, and ephemeral materials. Roth placed these gray cardboard mats on tables in his apartment, studios, and houses, collecting what he referred to as the "traces of my domestic activities." Along with spontaneous doodles and drips and stains from the kitchen, Roth affixed leftover food, notes, and photos to the mats, creating still lifes that he would supplement with painting and collage and that had an emphasis on symmetry and mirror images. Dieter Roth, Björn Roth: Work Tables and Tischmatten offers a new interpretation of these significant yet often misunderstood works, which Roth himself considered to have influenced the development of his painting in the late 1980s. The book includes the artist's writings about the Tischmatten, and an insightful essay by Andrea Büttner resituates them within the greater body of the artist's output.

The first publication in English of Dieter Roth’s complete interviews The oeuvre of Dieter Roth (1930–1998) encompasses painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, film, video, music, typography, design, architecture and, last but not least, literature. ‘His books alone would give him a place of honour in 20th-century art,’ wrote Richard Hamilton, who championed Roth very early on. But is there a philosophy that ties it all together? What intellectual design, what personality stands behind this immense body of work? In his interviews, Roth offered many surprising and fascinating clues to his life and thought. Yet the majority of the interviews were in German, some even in Swiss German. With this book, all thirty-eight interviews are available in English, in full, for the first time. Included are the essential conversations with Irmelin Lebeer-Hossmann in 1976 and 1979, the Hamilton interviews, and also the very intimate interview Roth conducted with Patrick Frey just a few days before his death. For Roth, whose expectation of art was that it not be harmless, but show what is, the interviews were an attempt to depict what happens when speaking – one makes slips of the tongue and loses one’s train of thought, different languages get spoken and misunderstandings arise. He always expressed himself frankly and unguardedly. For anyone who wants to become acquainted with Dieter Roth – the artist and thinker-about-art as well as the human being – there is no better, more amusing and authentic introduction to be found than the richly illustrated collection at hand, which also presents many of his poems and prose texts in English for the first time.

Contains interviews with and photographs of the 25 people who knew or worked with Roth during his time spent in Chicago, Providence, New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Many of the works Roth created during that period are illustrated here in full colour.

With the writer Dieter Roth, one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, in the Schimmelmuseum in Hamburg, in the Roth Room in Basel, in Iceland, and at the restaurant Chez Donati in Basel. Four episodes from the lasting friendship between Erika Streit, Beat Keusch, and Dieter Roth reveal the artist’s many and different facets. The book to be issued in October 2021 contains many yet unpublished photographs and documents.

Although he is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century for his artists' books, prints and sculptures often made with found materials, Dieter Roth (1930-1998) always thought of himself mainly as a writer, viewing his artistic work as a way to earn money for his writing. The use of language accordingly forms a leitmotif throughout Roth's entire oeuvre. Drawing on significant works from various phases of Roth's career, Dieter Roth: Balle Balle Knalle explores an essential connective thread in Roth's varied body of work, showing how text and image were intimately connected for the artist and how his literary and artistic endeavors cross-pollinated each other. This volume, published to accompany an exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, includes new texts by Sven Beckstette, Julia Gelshorn, Benjamin Meyer-Krahmer and Stefan Ripplinger.

Few New Testament topics have been discussed as often and as intensely as Q, the hypothesized second major source alongside the gospel of Mark for the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and the parables. And yet, no monograph to date has been devoted to considering the parables in Q. In addition to filling this gap in New Testament scholarship, Dieter T. Roth addresses the need to move scholarship on both Q and the parables forward along methodological and interpretive lines. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts. In addition, Roth draws on recent parables research in his examination of the 27 parables in Q (two spoken by John the Baptist, one by the Centurion, and 24 by Jesus) in order to consider their purpose and function in this early Christian text.

Dieter T. Roth presents an extensive study of the so-called “staurogram,” argued to be the earliest visual depiction of the crucifixion of Christ. Roth examines the origins of this depiction in early New Testament manuscripts as a ligature or compendium of two letters in certain abbreviations of the words “cross” (stauros in Greek) or “crucify” (stauroo in Greek) in which the Greek letter rho is superimposed upon the Greek letter tau. In this work, the staurogram, ultimately understood to be a simple yet powerful depiction of Jesus crucified, is analyzed and located within the framework of ancient abbreviations, the nomina sacra, and the developing Christian visual culture in order to offer, for the first time, a wide-ranging presentation of this symbol in early Christianity. From the symbol’s origins within words in some of our earliest, extant New Testament manuscripts to its use as a free-standing Christogram, this volume provides important insight into how Christians, beginning with the staurogram, depicted visually their faith in a crucified Christ.

Die Arbeit versucht, das Demokratie- und Veranderungspotential in einzelnen Elite-Gruppen empirisch zu bestimmen und zu begrunden. Dabei werden auch die methodischen Schwierigkeiten einer derartigen Vorgehensweise diskutiert. Das Ursprungsmaterial sind 808 standardisierte Interviews mit fuhrenden Positionstragern aus allen gesellschaftlichen und politischen Bereichen der Bundesrepublik."

Dies ist die aktualisierte Ausgabe eines Lehrbuchs über empirische Wahlf- schung, geschrieben für Studenten, Journalisten und politisch Interessierte. Die Wahlforschung – misst man sie an der Nachfrage ihrer Ergebnisse – hat im le- ten Jahrzehnt weiter an Bedeutung gewonnen. Auch die Veröffentlichungen aus diesem Bereich sind deutlich gestiegen. Wer wissen will wie die oft zitierten und auch kritisierten oder bezweifelten Ergebnisse der empirischen Wahlforschung zustande kommen, kann sich in diesem Buch informieren. Es werden die gän- gen Theorien zur Erklärung von Wahlverhalten dargestellt und die Techniken der Datenerhebung und der Analyse beschrieben, die benutzt werden, um die Fragen in diesem Bereich zu beantworten. Insbesondere wird aber auf die vielen F- lermöglichkeiten auf dem Weg zu gültigen Ergebnissen hingewiesen und auf die Begrenztheit der möglichen Aussagen. Das Buch ist eine praxisorientierte E- führung in die empirische Wahlforschung. Es hat auch in der aktualisierten Form nicht den Anspruch, alle diskutierten Probleme des Faches abzudecken. Für die nicht behandelten Themen habe ich mich bemüht, Hinweise zu geben, wo man weitersuchen kann. Zum Zeitpunkt der Erstausgabe dieses Buches hat es eine Lücke ausgefüllt. Inzwischen sind viele methodischen Fragen von anderen Autoren aufgegriffen und behandelt worden. Trotzdem scheint eine Einführung noch eine Berech- gung zu haben, denn es besteht Nachfrage. Die meisten Beispiele wurden ern- ert. Dabei griff ich – wie zuvor – auf die Datenbestände der Forschungsgruppe Wahlen e. V. zurück. Mit den Mitarbeitern dort habe ich einzelne Aspekte immer wieder diskutiert.
