In fact one needs three job descriptions to chart his output: art historian, psychoanalyst and communication scientist. At 22, Kris had concluded his art history studies at Vienna University with a doctoral thesis on the technique of casting from life in the late Renaissance, and had worked as a curator at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. By the middle of the 1920s he had already met Sigmund Freud and started an analysis {u2013} which made him slowly turn away from classical art history. In this period he developed his most interesting and fruitful texts, which founded his reputation as an art psychologist: his studies on the early classicist sculptor Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1932/33), the text 2On the psychology of caricature3 (1934) and the small book he co-authored with Otto Kurz: 2The Legend of the Artist3 (1934). In 1938, immediately after the 2Anschluss3, Kris followed Freud into exile in London, and in 1940 he moved with his family to New York. Here he initially devoted himself primarily to questions of communication science, setting up working groups to analyse the propaganda of the Axis alliance with astonishing speed. Later he taught at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, concentrating on child psychology. He set up research units at the Yale Child Study Center and from 1945 he edited the newly founded journal 2The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child3. He died in New York, highly respected as an important advocate of Ego-Psychology. Thus Kris developed, partly through choice and partly by force of circumstance, a multi-disciplinary approach which is more in demand than ever today: due to the broadening of art history into a science of images, the questions that a psychologically aware communication science is confronted with today, and the recent understanding of psychoanalysis as a form of cultural investigation. Bearing this view of Kris in mind, the contributions to this publication review his writing in a newly critical way, place it in its historical context and highlight what it predicts. The publication opens up Kris{u2019} work, which is still, unjustly, only known through some key terms in the disciplines he covers. 606 $aInformation theory 615 0$aInformation theory. 676 $a003.54 700 $aRo?ske$b Thomas$0802132 702 $aKru?ger$b Steffen 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996532958403316 996 $aIm Dienste des Ich$93394073 997 $aUNISA
