Die Wiederholung ist ein basales kulturelles Tun, das in allen Bereichen des menschlichen Lebens und Handelns vorkommt, so auch in der Kommunikation. Der interdisziplinäre Sammelband fragt nach der Kreativität repetitiver Gesprächsmuster in der Vormoderne. Die Beiträge aus Geschichts-, Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft analysieren deutsche, spanische, französische und englische Textzeugnisse aus Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit und untersuchen die Spannung zwischen der scheinbaren Identität der Wiederholung und ihrem Potenzial, kreativ Differenzen zu erzeugen. Erkundet werden dabei die fundamentalen sprachlichen und kulturellen Funktionszusammenhänge dieses Wechselverhältnisses von Wiederholung und Variation: Sind repetitive Gesprächsmuster gemeinschaftsstiftend oder schärfen sie Gegensätze? Ist die Wiederholung ein orientierendes Kompositionsprinzip oder wirkt sie qua Variation destabilisierend auf Redekonstellationen? Steht sie für Kontinuität und Festigung sprachlicher Ausdrucksformen oder für die Möglichkeit kreativer Erneuerung?Der Band erforscht Wiederholung und Variation unter den Aspekten von Struktur und Funktion, von Transformation und Subversion, von Rhetorik und Ästhetik und behandelt Lehrdialoge, Rechtstexte, Erzählliteratur und Theater. Repetition is a fundamental cultural act that appears in all fields of human life and behavior, as well as in communication. This interdisciplinary edited volume inquires into the creativity of repetitive conversational patterns in premodernity. These essays from the fields of history, linguistics, and literary studies analyze German, Spanish, French, and English text witnesses from the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period.

Guglielmo Sirleto has generally been acknowledged as a crucial contributor to defending the papacy's claims over St Peter's primacy, including the apostle's legendary arrival to Rome before his martyrdom. Sirleto established himself as a pivotal prelate, who assisted Pope Paul IV in rearranging the ceremonial apparatus for the solemn celebrations of the Cathedra Petri (St Peter's Throne). Scholars, however, were unable to properly examine his De praestantia basilicae Vaticanae, because the manuscripts of this discourse were never completely identified. The edition of this treatise will therefore primarily provide a reconstruction of Sirleto's working methods in readjusting the ceremonial solemnities prescribed for the feast day of the Cathedra Petri according to Curial Ceremony. The second discourse concerns, on the other hand, a description of the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore on the Esquiline Hill, which Sirleto composed for the Cardinal Bishop of Milan, Carlo Borromeo. In contrast to the edition of the first discourse in this volume, the Trattato sopra la chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore is presented according to the correspondence between Borromeo and Sirleto.

The interrelations between objects and organisms take many forms, from the microbes known to inhabit medieval manuscripts to the biomorphic forms observable in Art Nouveau lamps, and from the androids cast in American superhero comics to the coral found on Chinese porcelain recovered from shipwrecks. The contributions to this volume investigate various interactions between inanimate and animate matter in art, literature, technology, and other areas of human perception and expression. The book highlights how certain characteristics allow objects to be understood as living organisms, and vice versa. Via a range of dynamics involving vivification and reification, objects and organisms emerge as unstable, transforming within evolving situations. Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Objekten und Organismen werden auf verschiedene Weise sichtbar, z.B. als Mikroben, die mittelalterliche Handschriften bevölkern, als biomorphe Formen auf Jugendstillampen, als Androiden in Superhelden-Comics, oder als Korallen, die sich auf chinesischem, aus Schiffswracks geborgenem Porzellan angesiedelt haben. Die Beiträge untersuchen die Wechselwirkungen zwischen unbelebter und belebter Materie in Kunst, Literatur, Technik und anderen Bereichen menschlicher Wahrnehmung und menschlichen Ausdrucks. Gezeigt wird, wie Organismen durch gezielte Strategien ein Objektstatus zugeschrieben wird und wie Objekte aufgrund bestimmter Eigenschaften als lebendig erscheinen. Die vermehrte Kritik an Anthropozentrismus und Animismus fordert dazu auf, diesen Austauschprozessen genauer nachzugehen.

"Combating the Hydra explores structural as well as occasion-specific state violence committed by the early modern Habsburg Empire. The book depicts and analyzes attacks on marginalized people "maladjusted" of all sorts, women "of ill repute," "heretic" Protestants, and "Gypsies." Previously uncharted archival records reveal the use of arbitrary imprisonment, coerced labor, and deportation. The case studies presented provide insights into the origins of modern state power from varied techniques of population control, but are also an investigation of resistance against oppression, persecution, and life-threatening assaults. The spectrum of fights against debasement is a touching attestation of the humanity of the outcasts; they range from mental and emotional perseverance to counterviolence. A conversation with the eminent historian Carlo Ginzburg concludes the collection by asking about the importance of memorizing horrors of the past"--

"How the medieval church drove state formation in EuropeSacred Foundations argues that the medieval church was a fundamental force in European state formation. Existing accounts focus on early modern warfare or contracts between the rulers and the ruled. In contrast, this major study shows that the Catholic Church both competed with medieval monarchs and provided critical templates for governing institutions, the rule of law, and parliaments.The Catholic Church was the most powerful, wealthiest, and best-organized political actor in the Middle Ages. Starting in the eleventh century, the papacy fought for the autonomy of the church, challenging European rulers and then claiming authority over people, territory, and monarchs alike. Anna Grzymała-Busse demonstrates how the church shaped distinct aspects of the European state. Conflicts with the papacy fragmented territorial authority in Europe for centuries to come, propagating urban autonomy and ideas of sovereignty. Thanks to its organizational advantages and human capital, the church also developed the institutional precedents adopted by rulers across Europe-from chanceries and taxation to courts and councils. Church innovations made possible both the rule of law and parliamentary representation.Bringing to light a wealth of historical evidence about papal conflict, excommunications, and ecclesiastical institutions, Sacred Foundations reveals how the challenge and example of powerful religious authorities gave rise to secular state institutions and galvanized state capacity"-- "Sacred Foundations argues that the medieval church was a fundamental force in European state formation.
