To mark the 400th anniversary of the birth of Martin Opitz on 23
December 1597, a colloquium took place in Gorlitz involving a list
of speakers as international as it was interdisciplinary. In line
with the occasion, the conference essayed as comprehensive an
account as possible of Opitz' work and the impact it had in its
day. The guiding principle underlying the papers presented here was
a concept of 'life-world' as -perceived reality in which social
groups and individuals not only act and behave but also themselves
produce reality through their thinking and actions- (Rudolf
Vierhaus). In the context of the early modern age, however, such
construction of reality took place in text varieties of a highly
circumscribed nature, structured by traditional and normative
concepts. The textual and perceptive patterns themselves are not
however geared to concepts of 'reality' or 'authenticity' such as
those formulated later in history but to a form of reality
represented by binding standards. The various contributions range
from systematic studies to the history of genres and perennial
themes, while others concentrate on individual works. Common to
them all is a concern to cast new light on the keynote subject of
the conference. As such they open up new avenues for exploring the
life and work of this 'father of German literature'."
The study combines a general theory of the history of literary
genres with a history of the sonnet from the Middle Ages to the
Romantic period. It demonstrates the adaptability of artistic
genres, paying special attention to media and communication
theoryand social and historico-cultural aspects. For the sonnet, it
proposes models for its genesis in the Middle Ages and its various
historical manifestations. This is a fundamental work on genre
theory and the history of the German and European sonnet.
Im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch sind Stereotype vereinfachte,
schablonenhafte Vorstellungen von Menschen, die weniger auf der
eigenen Erfahrung grunden. Sie transportieren eher ein mit
Wertungen durchsetztes, geronnenes Erfahrungswissen innerhalb der
Kulturen. Im Sinne der historischen Semantik und
Stereotypenforschung sind sie nicht ausschliesslich als Vorurteile
zu verstehen, sondern mehrwertig zu bestimmen. Dieser Band
vereinigt Beitrage zur V. Jahrestagung der Internationalen Andreas
Gryphius Gesellschaft, die vom 8. bis 11. Oktober 2008 in Wroclaw
stattfand. Er befasst sich mit Formen und Funktionen von
nationalen, sozialen, anthropologischen, konfessionellen und
Gender-Stereotypen sowie von begrifflichen und metaphorischen
Stereotypen. Es gilt zu zeigen, wie sie in den Medien der Fruhen
Neuzeit vermittelt wurden - sei es in kunstlerischen
Ausdrucksformen wie Grafik, Malerei und Skulpturenkunst, sei es in
der Gebrauchsliteratur, in medialen Mischformen des Flugblatts und
der Emblematik. Die interdisziplinare und internationale
Ausrichtung dieses Themas erscheint gerade heute - in einem nach
der EU-Erweiterung erneut veranderten Europa - als besonders
aktuell und wichtig.
