Die interdisziplinäre Studie zum Text-Bild-Verhältnis geht der Frage nach, wie der Ausdruck der ,vremde' in den illuminierten Handschriften des Parzival Wolframs von Eschenbach konnotiert ist.Die sprachliche Untersuchung ausgewählter Textzeugen (Cgm 19, cpg 339 und Cod. AA 91) gibt Aufschluss über die Semantik der ,Fremde' zwischen der Mitte des 13. und der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jh. Die Bildanalyse widmet sich den zeitgenössischen stereotypen Vorstellungen von ,vremde' und zeigt z.B. auf welche Weise Feirefiz als ,heide' dargestellt ist. Weiterhin wird erkennbar, wie bildgestalterische Mittel quasi rhetorisch zur visuellen Umsetzung mit den semantischen Teilbedeutungen der ,vremde' beitragen. Das reicht von inhaltlichen dargestellten Details - etwa wenn Cundrie einen Eberzahn erhält - bis hin zu formalen Gestaltungelementen wie Farbe oder Bildaufteilung. Die Untersuchung trägt zur Forschungdsdiskussion bebilderter Handschriften bei und plädiert für die Untersuchung eines Codex als Gesamtwerk. Textuelle und bildliche Inhalte sind für die Wahrnehmung und Interpretation durch den Betrachter ebenso relevant wie die Schrift, die Seitengestaltung und die gesamte Materialität.

For people in the early Middle Ages, the earth, air, water and ether teemed with other beings. Some of these were sentient creatures that swam, flew, slithered or stalked through the same environmentsinhabited by their human contemporaries. Others were objects that a modern beholder would be unlikely to think of as living things, but could yet be considered to possess a vitality that rendered them potent. Still others were things half glimpsed on a dark night or seen only in the mind's eye; strange beasts that haunted dreams and visions or inhabited exotic lands beyond the compass of everydayknowledge.
This book discusses the various ways in which the early English and Scandinavians thought about and represented these other inhabitants of their world, and considers the multi-facetednature of the relationship between people and beasts. Drawing on the evidence of material culture, art, language, literature, place-names and landscapes, the studies presented here reveal a world where the boundaries between humans, animals, monsters and objects were blurred and often permeable, and where to represent the bestial could be to hold a mirror to the self.

According to Walter Benjamin, the past that is not recognized by the present threatens to disappear irretrievably. As a consequence, photographs cannot save the moment from oblivion by pure depiction alone, but only by keeping the depicted moment actual at every present moment. Instead of counting on the documentary quality of photography that speaks in the past tense of "what has been", Silke Helmerdig suggests a different approach to photography: an extension of a future subjunctive (photographic) tense speaking of "what could be, if", allowing one to think possible futures instead of harking back to the past. Besprochen in: Rundbrief Fotografie, 24/4 (2017), Rolf Sachsse

The Figures of Edgar Allan Poe is the first study to address the rhetorical dimensions of Poe's textual and discursive practices. It argues that Poe is a figure and figurer of the emergence of the modern understanding of literature in the early nineteenth century that resulted from the birth of the romantic author and the so-called 'death of rhetoric'. Building on accounts of Poe as a skilled navigator of American antebellum print culture, Gero Guttzeit reinterprets Poe as representative of the vital role that transatlantic rhetoric played in antebellum literature. He investigates rhetorical figures of the author in Poe's critical writings, tales, poems, and lectures to give a new account of Poe's significance for antebellum literary culture. In so doing, he also proposes a general rhetorical theory of theoretical, poetical, and performative figures of the author. Beyond Poe studies, the book intervenes in current debates on the romantic origins of the modern author and demonstrates that rhetorical theory offers new ways of exploring authorship beyond the nineteenth century.
