Zwischen Anthropologie und Philologie: Beiträge zur Zukunft der Minneredenforschung
This volume collects various contributions to “Minnereden” (Late Medieval love poems in the German language) research, and provides insights into into the current trends in research into this field. The volume was inspired by the conference on "Anthropologie und Philologie: Die Zukunft der Minneredenforschung. Diskussionen auf der Grundlage des Handbuchs Minnereden", which took place in the International Academic Forum Heidelberg in the autumn of 2013. The contributions discuss new approaches to the Minnereden corpus, and to the narrative potential and to textuality of Late Medieval love poems.
Leben Dinge Texte: Begleitheft zur Ausstellung des Sonderforschungsbereichs 933 „Materiale Textkulturen“
The exhibition "LEBEN DINGE TEXTE" (LIFE OBJECTS TEXTS / LIVING TEXT) presents artefacts that are inscribed. The exhibits originate from societies before the invention of printing: cuneiform script clay tablets from Mesopotamia, ancient graffiti, magical papyrus amulets, stamped roofing tiles, a dog leash superscribed with gemstones. Such "script bearing" artefacts can help investigate how the writing material affects the meaning of the text and vice versa. Furthermore, they illustrate that writing was not only for reading, but also associated with acts and rituals.
With this exhibition, the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 933 "Material text Cultures" presents intermediate results of its research. SFB 933 is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) and unites 50 researchers and scholars of Heidelberg University and Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg.
