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.
