Essays in this collection situate source studies in Old English and Anglo-Latin literature within a range of theoretical and methodological approaches as varied as disability studies, feminist theory, history of science, and network analysis, tracing how ideas move across cultures and showing how studying sources enables us to represent the diversity of medieval voices embedded in any given text.
The essays in this volume extend the work of Charles D. Wright, who mentored a generation of scholars in methodologies of source study. The essays are organized into three sections. The first demonstrates how source studies facilitate tracing ideas across space and time. The second explores what happens to texts and ideas when they are transmitted from one culture, language, or historical moment to another. The third shows how sources illuminate wider cultural discourses. The volume attests to the flexibility of source work for early medieval English literature and argues for increased access to the tools that make such work possible.

Spes Italiae

I contributi qui raccolti, esito di due convegni tenutisi a Trento e a Vienna, mettono in luce con approcci diversi e innovativi i molteplici aspetti della cultura del suo regno, la sua azione politica e militare e la rappresentazione che ne diedero i contemporanei. Questo volume, pertanto, offre un sguardo inedito su Pipino; nuove prospettive di ricerca su un sovrano dimenticato.

Stadtgesellschaft und Memoria

Oktober 1953 – 28. September 2019). Angeregt durch die Arbeiten von Otto Gerhard Oexle zur mittelalterlichen Erinnerungskultur erschloss er mit seiner ihn auszeichnenden Sorgfalt im historischen Sehen und Denken sowie in der präzisen und gleichzeitig interdisziplinären Analyse der uellen immer weitere Dimensionen dieses alle sozialen Schichten und alle Bereiche des täglichen Lebens umfassenden Phänomens. Dabei war für ihn von zentraler Bedeutung – wie auch in diesem Band – die Art und Weise, wie die Konstituierung unterschiedlichster gesellschaftlicher Gruppen zur Gewährleistung des Totengedenkens erfolgte. Seine Forschungen verdeutlichen auf verschiedenen, sich durchdringenden Ebenen eine von heutigen Denkformen unterschiedene Auffassung gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Dabei rücken die neue Leseart von Bildern, die Interpretation von Tönen und Klängen (wie beispielsweise Schlag und Geläute von Glocken) als akustische Zeichen sowie ephemere Erscheinungen wie etwa die mittelalterlichen Lichtinszenierungen in Kirchen immer stärker in den Blickpunkt seiner Ausführungen. Thomas Schilps früher Tod ermöglichte es ihm nicht mehr, die begonnene umfassende Monographie zum Thema Stadt und Memoria fertig zu stellen. Dieser Band vereint eine Auswahl von Aufsätzen, welche die Dimensionen seiner intensiven Beschäftigung mit Formen mittelalterlichen Denkens und Handelns reflektieren.

Staging the Ruler’s Body in Medieval Cultures: A Comparative Perspective
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Staging the Ruler’s Body in Medieval Cultures: A Comparative Perspective show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Staging the Ruler’s Body in Medieval Cultures: A Comparative PerspectiveThis book explores the viewing and sensorial contexts in which the bodies of kings and queens were involved in the premodern societies of Europe, Asia, and Africa, relying on a methodology that aims to overcoming the traditional boundaries between material studies, art history, political theory, and Repräsentationsgeschichte. More specifically, it investigates the multiple ways in which the ruler’s physical appearance was apprehended and invested with visual, metaphorical, and emotional associations, as well as the dynamics whereby such mise-en-scène devices either were inspired by or worked as sources of inspiration for textual and pictorial representations of royalty. The outcome is a multifaced analysis of the multiple, imaginative, and terribly ambiguous ways in which, in past societies, the notion of a God-driven, eternal, and transpersonal royal power came to be associated with the material bodies of kings and queens, and of the impressive efforts made, in different cultures, to elude the conundrum of the latter’s weakness, transitoriness, and individual distinctiveness.
