Any reader of scholarship on the ancient and early medieval world
will be familiar with the term 'Germanic', which is frequently used
as a linguistic category, ethnonym, or descriptive identifier for a
range of forms of cultural and literary material. But is the term
meaningful, useful, or legitimate? The term, frequently applied to
peoples, languages, and material culture found in non-Roman
north-western and central Europe in classical antiquity, and to
these phenomena in the western Roman Empire's successor states, is
often treated as a legitimate, all-encompassing name for the
culture of these regions. Its usage is sometimes intended to
suggest a shared social identity or ethnic affinity among those who
produce these phenomena. Yet, despite decades of critical
commentary that have highlighted substantial problems, its
dominance of scholarship appears not to have been challenged. This
edited volume, which offers contributions ranging from literary and
linguistic studies to archaeology, and which span from the first to
the sixteenth centuries AD, examines why the term remains so
pervasive despite its problems, offering a range of alternative
interpretative perspectives on the late and post-Roman worlds.
Scholarship often treats the post-Roman art produced in central and
north-western Europe as representative of the pagan identities of
the new 'Germanic' rulers of the early medieval world. In this
book, Matthias Friedrich offers a critical reevaluation of the
ethnic and religious categories of art that still inform our
understanding of early medieval art and archaeology. He scrutinises
early medieval visual culture by combining archaeological
approaches with art historical methods based on contemporary
theory. Friedrich examines the transformation of Roman imperial
images, together with the contemporary, highly ornamented material
culture that is epitomized by 'animal art.' Through a rigorous
analysis of a range of objects, he demonstrates how these pathways
produced an aesthetic that promoted variety (varietas), a
cross-cultural concept that bridged the various ethnic and
religious identities of post-Roman Europe and the Mediterranean
worlds.
In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird ein Rechenansatz erarbeitet,
welcher die Abschatzung des Aussenluftwechsels bei naturlich
belufteten Doppelfassaden ermoeglicht. Als Datengrundlage werden
Luftwechselmessungen an zehn Gebauden mit Doppelfassaden genutzt,
die durch Messungen von Druck- und Temperaturprofilen sowie durch
die Messung der meteorologischen Randbedingungen begleitet wurden.
Untersucht wurde die einseitige Luftung an Kastenfenstern bzw. an
Fenstern mit vorgesetzten Prallscheiben sowie an Korridorfassaden.
Bei den Innenfenstern handelte es sich um Schiebeturen und
Drehfenster.
