Attend a university? Get married? Graduate? 500 years ago, young men saw themselves already confronted with these questions, however compared to our days, under different social circumstances. Johannes Eck (1486–1543), Johannes Kingsattler (1486–1534) and Willibald Pirckheimer (1470–1530) were part of a precarious generation since they had to find their social positions in a rapidly changing society. How did they become the men, they themselves represented in their „self-narratives“ and that we know today? Ingo Trüter examines the conditions which enabled the protagonists of this study to attain certain positions in the field of learning without assuming a biographical telos. Based on multiple types of sources and following a micro-historical approach, the study draws an illustrative image of men of learning around the year 1500, ranging from philosophical questions in the Wegestreit to the learned men’s furniture and interior fittings of their houses. Studieren? Heiraten? Promovieren? Bereits vor über 500 Jahren stellten junge Männer sich diese Fragen – verglichen mit heute jedoch vor höchst unterschiedlichem gesellschaftlichem Hintergrund. Johannes Eck (1486-1543), Johannes Kingsattler (1486-1534) und Willibald Pirckheimer (1470-1530) gehörten einer besonders prekären Generation an und mussten sich in einer Zeit beschleunigten Wandels immer wieder neu positionieren. Wie wurden sie zu dem (gemacht), als was sie sich in ihren Selbstzeugnissen repräsentierten und uns heute erscheinen? Ohne biographisches telos werden die jeweiligen Voraussetzungen untersucht, die es den Protagonisten ermöglichten, bestimmte Positionen im gelehrten Feld (Bourdieu) einzunehmen. Unter Einbeziehung unterschiedlicher Quellengattungen, einem mikrohistorischen Ansatz verpflichtet, zeichnet Ingo Trüter ein plastisches Bild gelehrter Lebenswelten um 1500, das vom Wegestreit bis hin zur Inneneinrichtung der gelehrten Helden reicht.

According to relational sociology, power imbalances are at the root of human conflicts and consequently shape the physical and symbolic struggles between interdependent groups or individuals. This volume highlights the role of power relations in the African American experience by applying key concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias to black literature and culture. The authors offer new readings of power asymmetries as represented in works of canonical and contemporary black writers (Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Gwendolyn Brooks, Toni Morrison, Percival Everett, Colson Whitehead), rap music (e.g., Jay Z), images of black homelessness, and figurations of political activism (civil rights activist Bayard Rustin Besprochen in: Begegnungszentrum für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit, Rundbrief, 1 (2018)
