Kulturen des Wissens im 18. Jahrhundert
Kulturen zu untersuchen heißt, Wissen als etwas zu Kommunizierendes in den Blick rücken, es nicht vornehmlich als Stand der Dinge oder Ergebnis von Entdeckungen zu werten. Das 18. Jahrhundert kann für unsere eigene Zeit das Bild einer Epoche abgeben, worin alte und neue Wissensbestände mit neuen Anforderungen kritischen Fragens und methodischer Selbstreflexion konfrontiert werden. Wissen tritt dabei ‒ damals wie heute ‒ in verschiedenen Lebenszusammenhängen auf, hat verschiedene Kulturen. Der handbuchartige Sammelband bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über künstlerische und wissenschaftliche Bildungsinhalte und -prozesse im 18. Jahrhundert. Die Beiträge untersuchen verschiedene Wissensdiskurse in Literatur, Kunst, Wissenschaft und Philosophie und berücksichtigen hierbei vielfältige Diskursorte wie gelehrte Korrespondenzen, Bibliotheken, Jesuitenorden, Schulen, Enzyklopädistik, Galerien usw. Auf diese Weise leistet die Publikation einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Klärung der für das 18. Jahrhundert und seine geistesgeschichtliche Bedeutung relevanten Fragen.
Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations, 1680–1830
With a focus on the economic, social, and political impetus for producing monuments to knowledge, this volume recognizes the encyclopedic compilation as the quintessential tool of enlightenment knowledge transfer.
Using Documents
Using Documents presents an interdisciplinary discussion of human communication by means of documents, e.g., letters. Cultural scientists, together with researchers from media science and media engineering, analyze questions of document modeling, including a document’s contexts of use, on the basis of cultural theory. The research also concerns the debate on the material turn in the fields of cultural studies and media studies. Looking back on existing work, texts on written communication by the philosopher and sociologist Georg Simmel and by an interdisciplinary French group of authors under the pseudonym Roger T. Pédauque are taken as a starting point and presented afresh. A look ahead to the future is also attempted. Whereas the modeling (including technical modeling) of documents has to date largely been limited to the description of output forms and specific content, the foundations are laid here for including documents’ contexts of use in models that are grounded in cultural theory.
Gustav Shpet's Contribution to Philosophy and Cultural Theory
This book offers original research by leading scholars from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Russia, which covers the central areas of Shpet's work on phenomenology, philosophy of language, cultural theory, and aesthetics and takes forward the current state of knowledge and debates on his contribution to these fields of enquiry. The book also contains, for the first time in English translation, the most seminal portions of Shpet's book-length study of hermeneutics, which is his most significant work for contemporary students of cultural theory. The first part of the book maps out Shpet's legacy in the main areas of his multi-faceted work; the second part examines in closer detail particular aspects of Shpet's philosophical affiliations and contributions in the framework of cultural theory, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and in the field of Russian intellectual history; the final part features the publication of extracts from Shpet's 1918 book on hermeneutics.
Historical Pragmatics
The Handbook of Historical Pragmatics provides an authoritative and accessible overview of this versatile new field in pragmatics devoted to a diachronic study of language use and human interaction in context. It covers all areas of historical pragmatics from grammaticalization theory to pragmatic entities, such as discourse markers, speech acts and politeness to individual discourse domains from scientific writing to literary discourse. Each contribution, written by a leading specialist, gives a succinct, representative and up-to-date overview of research questions, theories, methods and recent developments in the field.
The European Encyclopedia
Organized thematically, this book tells the story of the European encyclopedia from 1650 to the present.
Empires and Peninsulas
Three powerful empires - the Habsburg, the Ottoman and the Russian - spent the 18th and the first third of the 19th centuries fighting each other for power and influence in the Balkans. This is not, however, the only significant aspect of the complicated history of the European Southeast. The intellectual and economic currents that turned the 18th century into a key event in human civilisation were refracted through the prism of Balkan regionalism. The 130 years between Karlowitz and Adrianople were able to steer the Southeast back onto the rails of a "Common European History". The volume contains the proceedings of an international conference hosted by the Sofia University Faculty of History in October 2009.
