Wissen und Geltung
Wissen, so der Tenor der neueren wissensgeschichtlichen Forschung, wird generiert durch historisch spezifische Strategien der Validierung, Autorisierung, Inszenierung und Ästhetisierung. Solche Strategien lassen sich als Mechanismen der Geltungserzeugung begreifen, durch die Wissen (temporär) als wahr, wertvoll oder gültig ausgezeichnet respektive in seiner Geltung bestritten wird. Wissen und Geltung stehen folglich in einem dynamischen Verhältnis zueinander. Der vorliegende Band nähert sich dieser Konstellation aus interdisziplinärer kulturhistorischer Perspektive. Die Beiträge fokussieren aussagekräftige Fallbeispiele aus Mittelalter und Frühneuzeit und entwickeln Fragen und Analy...

Déshonneur Et Honte en Latin
Organise selon les methodes de l'analyse semique et de la semantique referentielle sans negliger les aspects stylistiques, litteraires et historiques, ce travail se propose d'etudier plusieurs substantifs designant le deshonneur et la honte pour expliciter leurs significations, decrire leurs relations de polysemie et leurs rapports synonymiques. Dedecus, turpitudo, flagitium et d'autres expriment plutot la disqualification du sujet en rupture avec la societe ou les reactions de la collectivite envers lui: scandale, injure, discredit, affront. Pudor et uerecundia, qui expriment peu le deshonneur, sont les termes courants pour la honte et denomment en meme temps le sentiment de l'honneur, selon une antonymie interne qui trouve son unite superieure dans l'idee de conscience morale. La semantique invite ainsi a reflechir sur le fonctionnement de la societe romaine, ou il s'agit d'etre digne de soi sous le regard des autres.
Prognostication in the Medieval World
Two opposing views of the future in the Middle Ages dominate recent historical scholarship. According to one opinion, medieval societies were expecting the near end of the world and therefore had no concept of the future. According to the other opinion, the expectation of the near end created a drive to change the world for the better and thus for innovation. Close inspection of the history of prognostication reveals the continuous attempts and multifold methods to recognize and interpret God’s will, the prodigies of nature, and the patterns of time. That proves, on the one hand, the constant human uncertainty facing the contingencies of the future. On the other hand, it demonstrates the f...
Spiritual Spaces
25 years after his death, Michel de Certeau's thesis of a correlation between the development of modernity and the history of mysticism, still remains a challenge for the study of spirituality in its quest for actual forms of spiritual experience. At the same time, the topographical approach of Certeau's historiography enables to find and to elaborate free spaces within dominating cultural practices. Therefore, a discussion with Certeau's multilayered approach of spirituality and mysticism can play a key role in today's quest for new forms of spiritual experience and conscience. Avoiding both neo-orthodox and purely subjective interpretation of spiritual life, the study of Certeau can open new perspectives for a critical spirituality in the 21st century.
