Random Matrices are one of the major research areas in modern probability theory, due to their prominence in many different fields such as nuclear physics, statistics, telecommunication, free probability, non-commutative geometry, and dynamical systems. A great deal of recent work has focused on the study of spectra of large random matrices on the one hand and on iterated random functions, especially random difference equations, on the other. However, the methods applied in these two research areas are fairly dissimilar. Motivated by the idea that tools from one area could potentially also be helpful in the other, the volume editors have selected contributions that present results and methods from random matrix theory as well as from the theory of iterated random functions. This work resulted from a workshop that was held in Münster, Germany in 2011. The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers from two fields of probability theory: random matrix theory and the theory of iterated random functions. Random matrices play fundamental, yet very different roles in the two fields. Accordingly, leading figures and young researchers gave talks on their field of interest that were also accessible to a broad audience.

Das absehbare Ende des kulturgeschichtlichen Paradigmas in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften eröffnet erneut die Chance auf substanzielle methodologische Debatten auch in der deutschen Literaturwissenschaft. Der Band versammelt mediävistische und neuphilologische Beiträge, die ideen- und sozialgeschichtliche Perspektiven auf die Zeit zwischen dem 12. und dem 21. Jahrhundert dergestalt zu werfen versuchen, dass eine behutsame Vermittlung zwischen Ideen und Realien als je unterschiedenen und doch sich ergänzenden Kontexten entwickelt werden kann. Dabei wird in 10 Sektionen je ein sozialgeschichtlicher Beitrag durch einen ideengeschichtlichen Beitrag sekundiert, um mögliche Überschneidungen, aber auch durch die andere Perspektive jeweils zu füllende Leerstellen am einzelnen literarischen Text zu ermitteln. Bewusst versammelt der Band Beiträge zur älteren und zur neueren deutschen Philologie, um die historischen Veränderungen der Korrelation von Ideen und Realien als Kontexten der Literatur zu skizzieren. Der hier vorgelegte Versuch einer post-kulturalistischen Methodendebatten stellt nur einen ersten Schritt dar, der in der Folge weiterentwickelt werden soll. The predicted end of the era of cultural studies in the humanities and social sciences opens the possibility for serious methodological debate. The volume collects essays by medievalists and modern linguists that explore conceptual and social historical perspectives on the period from the 12th to the 21st centuries, developing a balance between ideas and realities as respectively different but mutually resonating contexts.
