Abstract

A study of the 'Scottish Legendary' of the late 14th century. The only extant collection of saints' lives in the vernacular from medieval Scotland, the work scrutinises the dynamics of hagiographic narration, its implicit assumptions about literariness, and the functions of telling the lives of the saints.

Abstract

Mittelalterliches Erzählen unterscheidet sich von dem uns geläufigen zwar nicht grundsätzlich, doch zeichnet es sich durch bestimmte Idiosynkrasien aus, die es uns fremd erscheinen lassen. Diese Fremdheit hat Konsequenzen auch für die narratologische Untersuchung, insofern die im Wesentlichen am realistischen Roman entwickelten narratologischen Modelle für dieses ›alte‹ Erzählen nur bedingt greifen. Primäres Anliegen des interdisziplinären Bandes, der Beiträge aus Germanistik, Anglistik, Romanistik, Japanologie und Keltologie versammelt, ist es, diese Fremdheit methodisch kontrolliert zu erfassen. Im Zentrum stehen die narratologischen Kategorien Autor, Erzähler, Perspektive sowie Zeit und Raum. Dabei geht es zum einen darum, narratologische Beschreibungsmodi zu finden, die den mittelalterlichen Erzähltexten angemessen sind. Zum anderen impliziert dieser methodenkritische Zugriff immer auch und zugleich eine dichte Beschreibung dessen, was uns in den ›alten‹ Erzähltexten entgegentritt. Methodenreflexion und historische Beschreibung sind in einer ›historischen Narratologie‹ untrennbar miteinander verbunden.

Abstract

In Risikodebatten manifestiert sich die gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Neuen, dem Unbekannten, der Zukunft. Welche Praktiken, Artefakte oder auch natürlichen Prozesse eine Gesellschaft als riskant ansieht, erlaubt Rückschlüsse auf grundlegende Transformationsprozesse: Risikodiskurse wirken bei der Ausbildung staatlicher Institutionen, rechtlicher Verfahren und wissenschaftlicher Techniken mit und sind Gegenstand kultureller Selbstvergewisserung. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes wird gezeigt: Die Analyse solcher Risikodiskurse mit literatur- und geschichtswissenschaftlichen Methoden verhilft dazu, jene Regeln aufzudecken, denen die Sichtbarmachung von Gefahren gehorcht, und sie legt offen, wer wann zu welchem Zweck Risikodebatten führt. »Die Herausgeber, Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes einen [haben einen] wichtigen Beitrag zur Neuperspektivierung einer kultur- und geschichtswissenschaftlichen Risikoforschung geleistet, in der vor allem die warnenden, reflektierenden und utopischen Funktionen der Literatur stärker zur Geltung kommen.« Nicolai Hanning, H-Soz-u-Kult, 02.05.2019

Abstract

This collection of essays offers new perspectives that foster our understanding of the crucial role the Bible played in medieval culture as well as in the wake of the Reformation across Europe. The thirteen essays open up new horizons for the study of biblical drama by putting special emphasis on periodisation, the intersections of biblical narrative and performance, and the strategies employed by playwrights to rework and adapt the biblical source material. Special emphasis is placed on multitemporality, transnationality, and the modalities of performance and form in relation to the uses of the Bible in medieval and early modern drama. The three aspects are intertwined: particular modalities of performance evolve, adapt and are re-created as they intersect with different historical times and circumstances. These intersections pertain to aspects such as dramatic traditions, confessional and religious rites, dogmas and debates, conceptualisations of performance and form, and audience response – whenever the Bible is evoked for performative purposes. The collection thus stresses the co-presence of biblical and contemporary concerns in the periods under discussion, conceiving of biblical drama as a central participant in the dynamic struggle to both interpret and translate the Bible.

Abstract

Sanctity as literature in late medieval Britain explores how sanctity and questions of literariness are intertwined across a range of medieval genres. “Sanctity” as a theme and concept figures as a prominent indicator of the developments in the period, in which authors began to challenge the predominant medieval dichotomy of either relying on the authority of previous authors when writing, or on experience. These developments are marked also by a rethinking of the intended and perceived effects of writings. Instead of looking for clues in religious practices in order to explain these changes, the literary practices themselves need to be scrutinised in detail, which provide evidence for a reinterpretation of both the writers’ and their topics’ traditional roles and purposes. The essays in the collection are based on a representative choice of texts from the fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries, covering penitential literature, hagiographical compilations and individual legends as well as romance, debates, and mystical literature from medieval and early modern England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. For researchers and advanced students of medieval literature and culture, the collection offers new insights into one of the central concepts of the late medieval period by considering sanctity first and foremost from the perspective of its literariness and literary potential.

Abstract

This volume juxtaposes lists and catalogues in poetic texts from the ancient world with the abundance of non-, sub-, or para-literary practices of listing and cataloguing in contexts such as lexicography, mythography, genealogy or magic. In establishing both unifying concerns and divergences in approaches to this varied corpus, it sheds light on their functions at the intersection of pragmatics, materiality, performativity and aesthetics.
