In medieval and early modern times, scribes, painters,
illustrators, translators and authors obviously had specific ideas
of what was meant by fidelity to the original; the modern observer
frequently regards their transfers as imprecise and wilful. It
would, however, be too simple to speak of a 'typically medieval'
manner of reproduction. The papers in this volume show that the
only sensible approach is to differentiate between the various
forms and concepts of reproduction in the Middle Ages and Early
Modern Age. The interdisciplinarity of this volume results in a
complex picture that brings out the different nature of medieval
'transfers' because it considers the particularity of each case.
The volume sees itself as a contribution to a cultural history of
artistic reproduction.
Starting from an analysis of practices of participation in
contemporary print and other media, the volume opens up a
historical perspective, probing the potential of the concept of
participatory cultures for the exploration of past forms of
collaboration between individual and collective actors (i.e.
authors, editors, publishers, fans, critics etc.). In doing so, the
volume sheds new light on the historically, culturally, and
medially specific forms and functions as well as on the economic,
political and institutional parameters that contributed to the
emergence and transformation of what turn out to be precarious
alliances.
