Описание: In the past years, reflections on Jewish literatures and theoretical and methodological approaches discussed in Comparative Literature have converged. Places and Forms of Encounter in Jewish Literatures. Transfer, Mediality and Situativity brings together close readings and contextualizations of Jewish literatures with theories discussed in Comparative and World Literature Studies. The contributions are arranged in five chapters capturing central processes, actors and dynamics in the making of literatures, namely Literary Agents, Literary Figures, Writing Voids, Making of Literatures and Perceiving and Creating Languages. The volume seeks to illuminate the interrelations between literary systems, and to highlight Jewish literatures as a prism for encounters on the levels of text, discourse and culture, and their transformative force.

Описание: This book presents, for the first time, a coherent, tightly argued history of medieval mediality, which also casts a new light on modern thinking about the medial. Abundance and lack constitute the defining feature of all media forms. These forms always undertake to preserve, transmit, or give access to something that might otherwise be lost, or remain inaccessible or ineffective. But at the same time they are always in danger of disguising or distorting what they are referring to, or of missing their targetaltogether. Medieval culture offers an excellent chance to observe this. In this culture, media forms were places of mediated immediacy. They transported a presence of the divine, but also knowledge of its unattainability. This volume investigates the multi-layered and fascinating approaches of medieval authors to the word and writing, the body and materiality, and their experimentation with the possibilities of media before the concept was invented.

The study of scents and all things olfactory is thriving, a sign of the great interest that our information-based society feels for a sense that seems to offer a direct and immediate experience of reality. But smells resist description and representation, especially given that they are closely linked to individual personal experience, and their perception has changed through time and space in a myriad of ways. This volume aims to contribute to the flourishing multidisciplinary exchanges around smells by examining the question of their mediality, focusing on the mechanisms by which the olfactory experience, as well as the scents themselves, circulate and are diffused, but also by exploring the modes of smell as a medium in itself. Drawing on a wide variety of approaches, cultural zones, and historical periods, this volume gathers the contributions of twenty-one researchers who specialize in this field in order to explore the multiple aspects of olfactory culture, which characterizes and shapes our relations to smells.
La richesse de l’actualit? en mati?re d’odeurs et d’odorat t?moigne du vif int?r?t de nos soci?t?s de l’information pour un sens qui semble offrir une saisie directe et imm?diate du r?el. Circulant de mani?re tr?s variable ? travers le temps et l’espace, les odeurs font l’objet d’une perception qui r?siste d’autant plus ? la description et ? la repr?sentation qu’elle reste individuelle et li?e ? l’histoire personnelle. Ce volume vise ? contribuer aux ?changes interdisciplinaires sur l’olfaction ? travers la question de la m?dialit?, en s’interrogeant sur les m?canismes par lesquels l’exp?rience olfactive et les odeurs sont transmises et diffus?es, mais aussi en explorant les modalit?s de l’odeur comme m?dium. Proposant une diversit? d’approches, d’aires culturelles et de p?riodes, ce volume rassemble les contributions de vingt-et-un sp?cialistes qui ?tudient comment la culture olfactive caract?rise et construit nos rapports aux odeurs.
Seventh and eighth-century papyri, inscriptions, and coins constitute the main evidence for the rise of Arabic as a hegemonic language emerging from the complex fabric of Graeco-Roman-Iranian Late Antiquity. This volume examines these sources in order to gauge the social ecology of Arabic writing within the broader late antique continuum.
Starting from the functional interplay of Arabic with other languages in multilingual archives as well as the mediality of practices of public Arabic writing, the study correlates the rise of Arabic as an imperial language to social interactions: the negotiation between the Arab-Muslim imperial elite and non-Arabicized regional elites of the early Islamic empire. Using layout, formulae and technical terminology to trace common patterns and disruptions across sources from the Atlantic to Central Asia, the volume illuminates the distinctive formal varieties of official Umayyad and early Abbasid imperial documents compared to informal Arabic writings as well as to neighboring scribal traditions in other languages.
The volume connects documentary practices to broader imperial policies, opening an unprecedented window into the strategies of governance that lay at the core of the early Islamic empire.

This volume addresses controversies connected to the testing of the capacities and potentials of mediums. Today we commonly?associate the term "medium" with the technical communication between transmitters and receivers. Yet this term likewise applies to?those who cooperate with agencies that exceed the presumed domain of the material world. Insofar as one presumes a division?between distinctly opposed categories of religion and the secular, technical media tend to be associated with the secular and human?(trance) mediums tend to be associated with religion after 1900. This volume concerns the ways in which the term?medium still marks an overlapping of – and thus problematizes – the aforementioned division between religion and the secular, the?personal and the technological.
The term medium carries with it a seed of doubt that is itself inseparable from investment in the medium's power: insofar as they?communicate with an "other" realm, mediums offer the hope and promise of new possibilities and improved efficiency, and thus of a?better life; yet they have simultaneously been under suspicion of altering (or even inventing) the messages they communicate. It is due?to this combination of promise and suspicion that "mediumism" has tended to evoke scientific, religious, and moral controversies. Thus,?we can speak of a "mediumistic trial" – that is, a process in which a medium is put to the test concerning its potentials and?trustworthiness. Around 1800, experts were asked if a modern secular institution would be capable of inspiring, domesticating or?excluding trance mediumship. This question has stayed with us ever since, and the answers have remained inconclusive. That is why?the past and present of mediumship may be asked to elucidate each other.

Описание: Die Zeit, in der Medialit t in ihrer Funktion, in ihren physiologischen und psychologischen Zusammenh ngen ganz begriffen wird, ist noch lange nicht reif. Und deshalb m sst ihr zweifeln, wie vor 100 Jahren noch die Psychologen zweifeln mussten und wie vor 1000 Jahren Astrologen zweifeln mussten. Und wie vor 500 Jahren ein Mann namens Kopernikus zweifeln musste. Heute ist es ganz klar: Ihr wisst l ngst, dass die Erde sich um die Sonne dreht. Ihr habt Messinstrumente und Beweise daf r. Aber damals gab es keine Beweise. Euer Beruf als Medialer ist es, Dinge zu sagen und zu tun, die unbeweisbar sind. Einzig die Wirkung ist nachvollziehbar. So seid ihr immer im Zweifel und es ist Teil eurer Arbeit, mit diesem Zweifel zu leben. Wer sagt, dass nur das geschehen darf, was nicht bezweifelt werden kann? Denn w re dies anders, dann m sste man auch sagen, es darf nicht mehr geliebt werden. Denn Liebe l sst sich genau so wenig messen, schauen oder gar beweisen. Elia

Die Bedeutung von Popul ren Kulturen sowie von Popkulturen kann nicht ohne einen Bezug auf Performativit t und Medialit t begriffen werden. Mit diesem Bezug bilden sich zugleich Kulturen des Performativen und Medialen heraus. Dieses Thema ist bisher im Kontext der Forschungen zur Performativit t von Kulturen nicht systematisch erforscht worden. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht es um die Beantwortung der Frage, inwieweit sich in Popul ren Kulturen sowie Popkulturen Aspekte, Prozesse, Transformationen, Manifestationen von Medialit t und/oder Performativit t niederschlagen, beobachten und beschreiben lassen, wie Popul re Kulturen sowie Popkulturen mit formen bzw. allererst durch Erscheinungen Popul rer Kulturen sowie Popkulturen eine spezifische Bedeutung erhalten. Die Aufgabe besteht darin, nicht einfach bereits etablierte Konzepte zur Performativit t und Medialit t in ihrer Tragkraft am Beispiel Popul rer Kulturen und Popkulturen zu veranschaulichen, sondern im Gegenteil, gegenstandsorientierte Konzepte von Performativit t und Medialit t durch ein sowie Popkulturen close reading Popul rer Kulturen zu erarbeiten - interdisziplin r und intermedial.
