Der Aventiuren Don - Klang, Horen Und Horgemeinschaften in Der Deutschen Literatur Des Mittelalters (German, Hardcover)

English Summary: The contributions in this volume assess the value of the acoustic in the Middle Ages and evaluate its importance in medieval literature. Although a great deal of research in Medieval Studies has focused on issues related to visuality, there has never been an in-depth study of the significance of auditivity in medieval courtly culture. The implications of sound and hearing have likewise remained unexamined. The essays (from John Greenfield, Harald Haferland, Susanne Knaeble, Andreas Krass, Claudia Lauer, William Layher, Silvan Wagner and Viola Wittmann) face the challenge of recovering that which seems to have faded away: the audible Middle Ages. Using a rigorous approach to examine acoustic phenomena and their reception in medieval texts and the cultures that produced them, this volume presents new insights about the richness of cultural production in the Middle Ages.German Description: Die Beitrage dieses auf einer Bamberger Tagung entstandenen Sammelbandes versuchen, die Akustik des Mittelalters und ihre Bedeutung fur die mittelalterliche Literatur zu erforschen. Wahrend in den letzten Jahren insbesondere die visuelle Kultur des Mittelalters im Zentrum mediavistischen Interesses stand, fehlen bislang noch weitgehend Uberlegungen zur Bedeutung des Auditiven, von Klang und Horen fur die hofische Kultur. Die hier vorliegenden Untersuchungen (von John Greenfield, Harald Haferland, Susanne Knaeble, Andreas Krass, Claudia Lauer, William Layher, Silvan Wagner und Viola Wittmann) stellen konsequent die Frage nach der Moglichkeit einer wissenschaftlichen Restitution des scheinbar Entschwundenen: dem "horbaren" Mittelalter. Das "Ohrenmerk" des Bandes richtet sich auf Situationen in und ausserhalb der Dichtung, in denen akustische Phanomene oder deren Rezeption neue Einsichten uber mittelalterliche Kulturproduktion vermitteln.
