Politische Funktionen Stadtischer Raume Und Stadtetypen Im Zeitlichen Wandel / Political Functions of Urban Spaces and Town Types Through the Ages
Politische Funktionalitaten von mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Stadtraumen aus verschiedenen disziplinaren Perspektiven und im europaischen Raum stehen im Zentrum des vorliegenden Bandes. Einerseits behandeln die rund 20 Beitrage konkrete Raumlichkeiten wie das Rathaus und Orte der Vergesellschaftung, zum anderen werden vor dem Hintergrund der Europaischen Stadteatlanten verschiedene Stadttypen und die Funktionalisierung von Stadtraumen deutlich gemacht: Festungsstadte, Hafenstadte, Industriestadte, Klosterstadte und Residenzstadte.
Social Functions of Urban Spaces Through the Ages
Urban spaces are connected with social functions in various ways: Within these spaces individuals and groups encounter each other, they constitute a framework of social organisation and interact with social practices, they are part of the modes of life and habitus. Yet, social functions also give urban spaces their orientation, they inscribe communication processes specified by situations or institutions, they form vertical, horizontal and relational structures by connecting practices, objects and placings. The contributions, based on the conference of the International Commission for the History of Towns in 2016, analyse these connections between urban spaces and social functions in their different directions (centre and periphery - top and bottom - inside and outside) by means of European examples from late medieval to modern times.
Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe
This volume is based on possibly the biggest single Europe-wide project in urban history. In 1955 the International Commission for the History of Towns established the European historic towns atlas project in accordance with a common scheme in order to encourage comparative urban studies. Although advances in urban archaeology since the 1960s have highlighted the problematic relationship between the oldest extant town plan and the actual origins of a town, the large-scale cadastral maps as they have been made available by the European historic towns atlas project are still necessary if we want to understand the evolution of the physical form of our towns. By 2014 the project consisted of ove...
Staufen and Plantagenets
This volume focuses on phenomena, structures and constellations of power and rule in the 12th century from a comparative perspective. Comparing England and the Empire is a promising research project, because the Staufen and the Plantagenets ruled over more than one kingdom and claimed hegemony. Therefore, the divergence between legality and the demands of ruling over diverse lordships can be explored. The examples of extended royal rule in different constellations, treated by international authors, show how the practice of power and the structures of rule based on legitimate claims diverge.
Jews in Medieval Christendom
In Jews in Medieval Christendom: Slay Them Not, an international group of scholars from numerous disciplines examines the manifold ways that medieval Christians coped with the presence of Jews in their midst. The collection’s touchstone comes from St. Augustine’s interpretation of Psalm 59:11: “Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down,” as it applied to Jews in Christendom, an interpretation that deeply affected medieval Christian strategies for dealing with Jews in Europe. This collection analyzes how medieval writers and artists, often explicitly invoking Augustine, employed his teachings on these strangers within Christian Europe. Contributors include: Nancy Bishop, Kate McGrath, Irven Resnick, Ephraim Shoham-Steiner, K.M. Kletter, Robert Stacey, Jennifer Hart Weed, Jay Ruud, Kristine T. Utterback, Merrall LLewelyn Price, Eveline Brugger, Birgit Wiedl, Carlee A. Bradbury, Judy Schaaf, Barbara Stevenson, Miriamne Ara Krummel, Albrecht Classen.
Zwang und Willkür
Zeugenverhore aus dem Jahr 1184 uber Streitigkeiten zwischen Pavia und Piacenza, somit eine eher sprode Uberlieferung, bilden die Basis fur eine Darstellung der Lebensverhaltnisse im stadtischen Umland einer der innovativsten und wirtschaftlich potentesten Regionen des europaischen Hochmittelalters. Geschichte aus der Sicht der von herrschaftlichen Massnahmen Betroffenen tut sich hier auf, ein Abgehen von der Perspektive der Herrschenden, die in den verfugbaren Quellen zu dieser Epoche im Regelfall dominiert, wird moglich. Wie sich der Mensch in diesen Verhaltnissen zurecht fand, unter den von lokalen Herren, benachbarten Kommunen wie der Reichsgewalt bestimmten Rahmenbedingungen sein Leben fuhrte, zeigt nicht nur enorme Anpassungsfahigkeit, das notigt auch hohen Respekt und ehrliche Anerkennung ab.
Faces of Community in Central European Towns
This collection examines symbolic communication and the role of visual experience in Central European urban communities in the late medieval and early modern periods. The contributors analyze how images, monuments, and rituals both reflected and affected identity formation, conflict, and networks of power.
Meanings of Community across Medieval Eurasia
This volume explores some of the many different meanings of community across medieval Eurasia. How did the three ‘universal’ religions, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, frame the emergence of various types of community under their sway? The studies assembled here in thematic clusters address the terminology of community; genealogies; urban communities; and monasteries or ‘enclaves of learning’: in particular in early medieval Europe, medieval South Arabia and Tibet, and late medieval Central Europe and Dalmatia. It includes work by medieval historians, social anthropologists, and Asian Studies scholars. The volume present the results of in-depth comparative research from the Visions of Community project in Vienna, and of a dialogue with guests, offering new and exciting perspectives on the emerging field of comparative medieval history. Contributors are (in order within the volume) Walter Pohl, Gerda Heydemann, Eirik Hovden, Johann Heiss, Rüdiger Lohlker, Elisabeth Gruber, Oliver Schmitt, Daniel Mahoney, Christian Opitz, Birgit Kellner, Rutger Kramer, Pascale Hugon, Christina Lutter, Diarmuid Ó Riain, Mathias Fermer, Steven Vanderputten, Jonathan Lyon and Andre Gingrich.
Friedrich Barbarossa
«Er wird das Reich wie ein Fuchs an sich bringen, wie ein Löwe regieren und wie ein Hund sterben» – so soll es Friedrich Barbarossa schon im Kindesalter prophezeit worden sein. Den großen Staufer erwartete tatsächlich ein Leben von außerordentlicher Dramatik. Nun hat Knut Görich in dieser meisterhaft geschriebenen und reich bebilderten Biographie Friedrich Barbarossas (ca.1122–1190) ein eindrucksvolles Panorama der Welt eines Herrschers im Hochmittelalter entworfen. Er beschreibt darin den Aufstieg des Staufers vom Herzog von Schwaben zum deutschen König (1152) und bald zum römischen Kaiser (1155) und bietet ein faszinierend facettenreiches Bild seiner Lebenswirklichkeit: seines...
