How did German composers brand their music as Venetian? How did the Other fare in other languages, when Cabeza’s Relación of colonial Americas appeared in translations? How did Altdorf emblems travel to colonial America and Sweden? What does Virtue look like in a library collection? And what was Boccaccio’s Decameron doing in the Ethica section? From representations of Sophie Charlotte, the first queen in Prussia, to the Ottoman Turks, from German wedding music to Till Eulenspiegel, from the translation of Horatian Odes and encyclopedias of heraldry, these essays by leading scholars explore the transmission, translation, and organization of knowledge in early modern Germany, contributing sophisticated insights to the history of the early modern book and its contents.

Read an interview with Norbert Bachleitner. In this 200th volume of Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft the editors Norbert Bachleitner, Achim H. Hölter and John A. McCarthy ‘take stock’ of the discipline. It focuses on recurrent questions in the field of Comparative Literature: What is literature? What is meant by ‘comparative’? Or by ‘world’? What constitute ‘transgressions’ or ‘refractions’? What, ultimately, does being at home in the world imply? When we combine the answers to these individual questions, we might ultimately reach an intriguing proposition: Comparative Literature contributes to a sense of being at home in a world that is heterogeneous and fractured, rather than affirming a monolithic canon marked by territory and homogeneity. The volume unites essays on world literature, literature in the context of the history of ideas, comparative women and gender studies, aesthetics and textual analysis, and literary translation and tradition.

The Male Body in Representation

This international and multidisciplinary volume focuses on the male body and constructions of gender in a variety of cultural productions and formats. Locating the subject matter in relevant theoretical fields, it looks at representations of male bodies in various contexts through paranoid and reparative lenses. Organized into four major sections, the contributions assembled in this book feature engaging readings of ‘non/conforming bodies’, ‘fashionable bodies’, ‘passing bodies’, and ‘pioneering bodies’ that to different degrees foreground their critical and creative potentials. In its full scope, the book acknowledges the plurality of gendered experiences and the diversity of male bodies. The Male Body in Representation: Returning to Matter adds to Cultural Studies scholarship interested in the body and gender in general and contributes to the fields of Masculinity and Body Studies in particular.

Deutsche Kleinschriften

Julius Wilhelm Zincgref (1591–1635) ist einer der bemerkenswertesten Autoren im Umfeld der Literaturreformbemühungen des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts. Die bisher in der Werkausgabe vorgelegten Schriften belegen u.a. das Bemühen, antike und neuere romanische Dichtungsformen im deutschen Sprachraum zu etablieren. Dabei hat sich Zincgref immer wieder als kritischer Autor erwiesen, der sich gegen bestimmte kulturelle Erscheinungen der eigenen Gegenwart wandte und kulturpatriotische Positionen vertrat. Damit und in der Abwehr des politischen Katholizismus stellte er sich nicht zuletzt auch politisch in den Dienst der reformierten Kurpfalz. Die hier herausgegebenen deutschen Kleinschriften gehöre...

Imperial Cities in the Tsarist, the Habsburg, and the Ottoman Empires

This book explores the various ways imperial rule constituted and shaped the cities of Eastern Europe until the First World War in the Tsarist, Habsburg, and Ottoman empires. In these three empires, the cities served as hubs of imperial rule: their institutions and infrastructures enabled the diffusion of power within the empires while they also served as the stages where the empire was displayed in monumental architecture and public rituals. To this day, many cities possess a distinctively imperial legacy in the form of material remnants, groups of inhabitants, or memories that shape the perceptions of in- and outsiders. The contributions to this volume address in detail the imperial entang...

Civic virtues were central to early modern Nürnberg’s visual culture. These essays explore Nürnberg as a location from which to study the intersection of art and power. The imperial city was awash in emblems, and they informed most aspects of everyday life. The intent of this volume is to focus new attention on the town hall emblems, while simultaneously expanding the purview of emblem studies, moving from strict iconological approaches to collaborations across methodologies and disciplines.

Images of Otherness in Russia, 1547-1917

Defining the Others, “them”, in relation to one’s own reference group, “us”, has been an essential phase in the formation of collective identities in any given country or region. In the case of Russia, the formulation of these binary definitions – sometimes taking a form of enemy images – can be traced all the way to medieval texts, in which religion represented the dividing line. Further, the ongoing expansion of the empire transferred numerous “external others” into internal minorities. The chapters of this edited volume examine the development and contexts of various images, perceptions and categories of the Others in Russia from the 16th century Muscovy to the collapse of the Russian empire.

Anhand unterschiedlicher Fallbeispiele zeigen die Beiträge dieses Bandes, dass Werke der Literatur und Musik in konkreten lebensweltlichen oder diskursiven Kontexten verortet werden, die durchaus zielbewusst der Standortbestimmung von Autor und Werk dienen. Damit möchte der Sammelband kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungen anregen, die sich – fern jeder theoretischen Überpointierung oder vorschneller Aktualisierungen – wieder den konkreten Texten in ihren lebensweltlichen, sozialen und historischen Kontexten zuwendet. Insofern verstehen sich die ›Positionierungen‹ durchaus programmatisch im Feld einer sich erneuernden Sozialgeschichte der Kultur. With the aid of several different cas...
