Abstract

It was not just in the major trade centers but also in the expanse of the "Hinterland" that the foreign and the exotic made themselves felt in the age of Enlightenment - be it in the form of missionaries from China, galley slaves from North Africa, or "Turks" from the Ottoman Empire. These essays take a systematic approach to ask how knowledge from the wider world made its way to the villages and supposed peripheries of Europe. Nicht nur in den großen Handelszentren, auch in der Breite des "Hinterlands" konnte man im Zeitalter der Aufklärung dem Fremden und Exotischen begegnen. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes ergründen systematisch, auf welchen Wegen und in welcher Form Ideen und Wissensbestände aus Übersee in die Dörfer und vermeintlichen Peripherien Europas gelangte und dort weiter zirkulierte. Welche konkreten Medien und Wissensträger waren in der Lage, eine Erfahrung von Globalität im Lokalen zu ermöglichen? Gab es gewisse Erfindungen und Ereignisse, die eine chronologische Entwicklung der Aneignung des Exotischen in der Peripherie erkennbar machen? Erklärtes Ziel des Bandes ist es, die scheinbare Dichotomie von Stadt und Dorf infrage zu stellen und stattdessen die Komplexität der Zirkulation exotischen Wissens aufzufächern. Die Fallbeispiele regen dazu an, sich mit der Geschichte von bislang zu wenig erforschten Orten Europas und ihren globalen Beziehungen zu beschäftigen und über den Ursprung unseres heutigen Verständnisses des Fremden und Exotischen kritisch zu reflektieren.

Abstract

Situating the history of genealogy in the ambit of manuscript studies, this volume explores how handwriting practices influenced the development of genealogies. It shows how lineages used handwritten documents in constructing and presenting their identity both to the outside world and to themselves. Genealogical handwriting is practiced in many manuscript cultures; this volume is the first to juxtapose studies from a wide variety of such cultures, ranging from East Asia, to West and Central Asia, to Europe. As the present contributions discuss in depth, tracing one’s lineage usually required taking note of personal histories, biographies and relationships; the chapters explore the many different reasons that compelled both individuals and institutions to do just this, and highlight the various contexts in which genealogy-writing occurred. Taking a material-oriented approach to handwriting practices in the study of genealogies can reveal the challenges implicated in producing such written artefacts, highlighting the enormous effort required in cultivating lineage-related knowledge. Seen from the view of manuscript studies, genealogies emerge as invaluable, yet also highly fragile forms of cultural capital.
