Witchcraft Mythologies and Persecutions
This third, concluding volume of the series publishes 14 studies and the transcription of a round-table discussion on Carlo Ginzburg's Ecstasies. The themes of the previous two volumes, Communicating with the Spirits, and Christian Demonology and Popular Mythology, are further expanded here both as regards their interdisciplinary approach and the wide range of regional comparisons. While the emphasis of the second volume was on current popular belief and folklore as seen in the context of the historical sources on demonology, this volume approaches its subject from the point of view of historical anthropology. The greatest recent advances of witchcraft research occurred recently in two fields: (1) deciphering the variety of myths and the complexity of historical processes which lead to the formation of the witches' Sabbath, (2) the micro-historical analysis of the social, religious, legal and cultural milieu where witchcraft accusations and persecutions developed. These two themes are completed by some further insights into the folklore of the concerned regions which still carries the traces of the traumatic historical memories of witchcraft persecutions.
Studien zur Musikwissenschaft - Beihefte der Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich. Band 62
Wie keine andere Quellengattung eröffnen Ego-Dokumente Einblicke in die musikalische Alltagsgeschichte und in die Gedankenwelt von Personen, die mit Musik umgehen, in ihre Wahrnehmungen, ihre Intentionen und ihre Erinnerung. Es sind Zeugnisse der Selbstwahrnehmung und der Selbstdarstellung, sei es im privaten Bereich der Korrespondenz und des Tagebuchs, sei es auch in der gedruckten Form von autobiographischen Schriften. Band 62 der Studien zur Musikwissenschaft bietet Informationen über biographische Dokumente mit Musikbezug, die aus der Zeitspanne zwischen der Französischen Revolution und dem Ersten Weltkrieg stammen und in Forschungen der letzten Jahre entdeckt oder wiederentdeckt wurden.
Promoting the Saints
The studies in this volume concentrate on a complex set of socio-cultural phenomena, the cult of saints, in a variety of regions from Egypt to Poland, with a focus on Italy and Central Europe. The subjects of the contributions range in time from the fourth until the eighteenth century. The diversity of approaches adopted by the contributors—from literary analysis and historical anthropology to archaeology and art history—represents that open and multidisciplinary historical research that characterizes the work of Gábor Klaniczay to whom these essays are dedicated.
