Social Studies of the sciences have long analyzed and exposed the constructed nature of knowledge. Pioneering studies of knowledge production in laboratories (e.g., Latour/Woolgar 1979; Knorr-Cetina 1981) have identified factors that affect processes that lead to the generation of scientific data and their subsequent interpretation, such as money, training and curriculum, location and infrastructure, biography-based knowledge and talent, and chance. More recent theories of knowledge construction have further identified different forms of knowledge, such as tacit, intuitive, explicit, personal, and social knowledge. These theoretical frameworks and critical terms can help reveal and clarify the processes that led to ancient data gathering, information and knowledge production. The contributors use late-antique hermeneutical associations as means to explore intuitive or even tacit knowledge; they appreciate mistakes as a platform to study the value of personal knowledge and its premises; they think about rows and tables, letter exchanges, and schools as platforms of distributed cognition; they consider walls as venues for social knowledge production; and rethink the value of social knowledge in scholarly genealogies—then and now.

This book presents case studies of the SFB 1070 ResourceCultures, which use an extended resource definition. Resources are analysed as contingent means to construct, sustain and alter social relations, units and identities. Accordingly, resources are seen as means of social practices of actors that depend on cultural and social appropriation and valuation. They constitute ResourceCultures. The contributions cover the topics of cross-sectional working groups and conferences that shaped the interdisciplinary collaboration on cultural, spatial and temporal dimensions of resources and ResourceCultures.

Die Dinge sind im Zuge des 'material turns' in den letzten Jahren zu einem zentralen Untersuchungsfeld der Literaturwissenschaften avanciert. Verbunden ist damit ein neues Verständnis der Dinge selbst: Dinge sind nicht nur passive Inskriptionsflächen für semantische Zuschreibungen, sondern oft auch voller Widerständigkeit oder gar geprägt von einer eigentümlichen Selbsttätigkeit, einer 'Wirkmächtigkeit' oder 'Agency'. Angesichts dieser Entwicklung ist es bemerkenswert, wie wenig bisher die Dinge bei Büchner in den Blick genommen wurden. Denn komplexe Dingkonstellationen finden sich in allen Werken Büchners, von den literarischen Texte über die naturwissenschaftlichen Schriften bis zu den Briefen. Begleitet werden sie von einer vielgestaltigen Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen des Materialismus, der für Büchner aus philosophischer, politischer, ästhetischer und epistemologischer Perspektive von Bedeutung ist. Das vorliegende Georg Büchner Jahrbuch geht diesen Zusammenhängen nach. Mit Beiträgen von: Rudolf Drux, Antonia Eder, Elisabeth Flucher, Alfons Glück, Agnes Hoffmann, Christiane Holm, Magdalena Maria Idzi, Alexander Kling, Michael Niehaus, Peter C. Pohl, Peter Schnyder. In the course of the 'material turn', objects have become a key field of interest in literary studies in recent years. Based on this development, this volume explores the complex constellations of objects found in all of Büchner's works, from his literary texts to his scientific writings and letters.

Considering Greek statue inscriptions from the archaic and early classical periods, this book emphasizes inscription practices without losing sight of issues of semantics. The analysis focuses on the layout and graphical or ornamental features of the inscriptions. With this approach, for the first time questions of aesthetics and materiality, which were previously examined only for the statues themselves, are also brought to their inscriptions. Das Buch nimmt griechische Statueninschriften der Archaik und Frühklassik in den Blick und legt den Fokus auf die Beschriftungspraxis, ohne Fragen der Semantik zu vernachlässigen. Im Zentrum stehen dabei etwa das Layout und die graphisch-ornamentale Qualität von Schrift. Mit diesem Zugang werden erstmals Fragen der Ästhetik und Materialität, welche bisher nur für die Statuen selbst untersucht wurden, auch an ihre Inschriften herangetragen.
