English summary: Close relationships that go beyond family ties and
kinships have become an interdisciplinary research subject that has
received a lot of attention. Variations of social ties such as
friendship, patronage and social networks ensue from different
historical and cultural contexts and, hence, constitute a
significant yet under-represented subject of interdisciplinary
research. Questions such as the changing semantics of friendship,
historical, intercultural and political practices of friendship,
patronage and loyalty were the focus of an international conference
for a critical discussion and re-assessment of values and norms
that constitute such relationships in different cultures and
epochs, as well as the social circumstances that determine them.
Aspects of interest included the constitution and representation of
the body and gender and the growth of trust and deceit, as well as
the culturally and historically different practices and semantics
of friendship and patronage and the way they are perceived
according to social status and social and historical contexts. The
results of the conference are presented in this volume. German
description: Nahbeziehungen, die uber familiare und
verwandtschaftliche Bindungen hinausgehen, haben sich zu einem
vielbeachteten Thema interdisziplinarer Forschung entwickelt.
Beziehungen wie Freundschaft, Patronage und soziale Netzwerke als
Variationen sozialer Bindungen sind das Ergebnis unterschiedlicher
historischer wie kultureller Kontexte und stellen deshalb einen
wesentlichen, aber immer noch unterreprasentierten Gegenstand
interdisziplinaren Forschens dar. Fragen nach sich andernden
Freundschaftssemantiken, historischen und interkulturellen bzw.
politischen Praktiken von Freundschaft, Patronage und Loyalitat
standen im Mittelpunkt einer internationalen Tagung, die eine
kritische Diskussion und Neubewertung von Werten und Normen, die
z.B. Freundschaft in verschiedenen Kulturen und historischen
Epochen konstituieren, sowie der sozialen Umstande, die diese
Nahbeziehungen bedingen, vorgenommen hat. Aspekte wie Konstitution
und Reprasentation von Korper und Gender und das Entstehen von
Vertrauen und Betrug waren dabei ebenso von Interesse wie die
kulturell und historisch unterschiedliche Praxis und Semantik von
Freundschaft und Patronage sowie deren jeweilige Wahrnehmung in
Abhangigkeit von ihrer gesellschaftlichen Situation in
verschiedenen sozialen und historischen Kontexten. Die Ergebnisse
dieser Tagung werden nun im vorliegenden Band prasentiert.

Friendship is a phenomenon to be found in all epochs and cultures.
However, the character of the relationship that is understood and
practiced as friendship is subject to constant change. In the
courtly epic of the High Middle Ages, research has mainly focused
on love, whereas friendship has been studied only fragmentarily.
This book focuses on the concepts of friendship in the so-called
classics of courtly epic? the Arthurian romances around 1200, the
Nibelungenlied and the Song of Roland? and places them into
relation to representations of friendship in non-literary texts of
that time. This study is intended as a contribution to a cultural
history of friendship.
