Welche Aufschlüsse ermöglichen Forschungen, die die Verbindungen zwischen Objekten sowie zwischen Objekten und Menschen in den Blick nehmen? Antworten auf diese Frage bietet Band 1 der Reihe "Formate – Forschungen zur Materiellen Kultur". In sieben Einzelstudien untersuchen die Teammitglieder am Institut für Realienkunde aus den Fachbereichen Archäologie, Germanistik, Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte Arten und Qualitäten der Bindungen zwischen Menschen und Objekten, aber auch zwischen Objekten untereinander in spezifischen "Objektgesellschaften" in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Gemeinsam zeigen die Beiträge, dass die Charakteristika der Verbindungen in den verschiedenen Objektgesellschaften zwar vielfältig sind, ihre eingehende Analyse aber einen fruchtbaren interdisziplinären Ansatz zur Beschreibung materieller Kulturen darstellt. Das Buch versteht sich somit als methodisch-konzeptioneller Beitrag zum Object Turn in den Kulturwissenschaften.

'Early Celtic art' - typified by the iconic shields, swords, torcs and chariot gear we can see in places such as the British Museum - has been studied in isolation from the rest of the evidence from the Iron Age. This book reintegrates the art with the archaeology, placing the finds in the context of our latest ideas about Iron Age and Romano-British society. The contributions move beyond the traditional concerns with artistic styles and continental links, to consider the material nature of objects, their social effects and their role in practices such as exchange and burial. The aesthetic impact of decorated metalwork, metal composition and manufacturing, dating and regional differences within Britain all receive coverage. The book gives us a new understanding of some of the most ornate and complex objects ever found in Britain, artefacts that condense and embody many histories.
Originally published in 1940. Chivalry denotes the ideals and practices considered suitable for a noble. The word itself is reminiscent of the aristocratic society of medieval France dominated by mounted warriors. As early as the eleventh century, several different views of chivalric standards and behavior had appeared. During the next four hundred years, these conceptions of the ideal nobleman were developed by and for the feudal ruling class. French Chivalry studies chivalry from the perspectives of both social history and the history of ideas. The first chapter provides readers unfamiliar with medieval history the background required for understanding the chapters on chivalry.
