Right and Left in Early Christian and Medieval Art
Robert Couzin’s Right and Left in Early Christian and Medieval Art is the first in-depth study of handedness, position, and direction in the visual culture of Europe and Byzantium from the fourth to the fourteenth century. Heretofore largely unnoticed or ignored, the pre-eminence of the right and lapses or intentional departures from that norm in medieval imagery are relevant to such major themes as iconography, visuality, reception, narrative, form, gender, production, and patronage. The author’s investigation of right and left in visual culture is informed by modern experimental research on laterality and contextualized within prevailing theological doctrines and socio-cultural practices. Illustrations in the text are complemented by hundreds more made available on Brill's Arkyves platform here. See inside the book.
Drei Lieder für die Königstochter
"Wenn alles gut geht, werdet Ihr ein Held sein", versprach mir der Herr vom Falkenschlag. "Und wenn nicht?", fragte ich verzweifelt. Er hob die Schultern. "Dann bleiben der Nachwelt immer noch Eure Lieder", sagte er. Das hätte mich vermutlich trösten sollen – tat es aber nicht. Im einen Augenblick versteckt Wolfram der Spielmann sich noch vor dem langen Arm des Gesetzes, im nächsten bekommt er den ehrenvollen Auftrag, den König und seine Tochter aus den Kerkern des Thronräubers zu befreien. Nicht ganz freiwillig lässt er sich auf ein Abenteuer ein, das ihn von den Kerkern der Goldenen Burg bis hinauf auf die Turmzinnen führt, in Schränke, Speisekammern und Geheimgänge. Drei Lieder...
Self-Reference in the Media
This book investigates how the media have become self-referential or self-reflexive instead of mediating between the real or fictional worlds about which their messages pretend to be and between the audience that they wish to inform, counsel, or entertain. The concept of self-reference is viewed very broadly. Self-reflexivity, metatexts, metapictures, metamusic, metacommunication, as well as intertextual, and intermedial references are all conceived of as forms of self-reference, although to different degrees and levels. The contributions focus on the semiotic foundations of reference and self-reference, discuss the transdisciplinary context of self-reference in postmodern culture, and exami...

The Sword of Judith
The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading the general of the most powerful imaginable army to free her people. The parabolic story was set as an example of how God will help the righteous. Judith's heroic action not only became a validating charter myth of Judaism itself but has also been appropriated by many Christian and secular groupings, and has been an inspiration for numerous literary texts and works of art. It continues to exercise its power over artists, authors and academics and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. It transforms our understanding across a wide range of disciplines. The collection includes new archival source studies, the translation of unpublished manuscripts, the translation of texts unavailable in English, and Judith images and music.

The basis for this additional volume are the three volumes of the handbooks Dictionaries. An International Encyclopedia of Lexicography (HSK 5.1–5.3), published between 1989 and 1991.

Special attention has been given to the following topics: the status and function of lexicographic reference works, the history of lexicography, the theory of lexicography, lexicographic processes, lexicographic training and lexicographic institutions, new metalexicographic methods, electronic and, especially, computer-assisted lexicography.
