Book Synopsis Praktiken der Frühen Neuzeit by : Arndt Brendecke
Download or read book Praktiken der Frühen Neuzeit written by Arndt Brendecke and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band reagiert auf das wachsende Interesse an historischen Praktiken. Dabei kommen alte historiographische Tugenden zur Anwendung, denn Geschichtsschreibung ist von ihren Anfängen an stark an Handlungen und Handlungsvollzügen interessiert, an Fakten und ihrer Darstellung. Zugleich muss jedoch neuen methodischen Reflexionen Raum gegeben werden, denn es reicht nicht mehr aus, "Taten" aus Ideen oder individuellen Entscheidungen abzuleiten. Praktiken verfügen über eine Eigenlogik und damit auch über eine eigene Geschichte. Diese zu erschließen, nahm sich die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Frühe Neuzeit in ihrer zehnten Tagung vor. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse sind in diesem Band versammelt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wissenschaft ist bis zum 18. Jahrhundert vornehmlich eine Tätigkeit gewesen, die sich mit "gelehrtem" Wissen beschäftigt hat, mit dem Lesen, Einüben, Exzerpieren, Kompilieren, Edieren und Auslegen von überliefertem Wissen. Dreizehn internationale Wissenschaftler untersuchen in den Beiträgen dieses Bandes die Praktiken der Gelehrsamkeit in der Frühen Neuzeit sowie ihre sozialen und kulturellen Bedingungen und Kontexte. Es geht um die Wissenstechnik und ihre Medien ("Lesen und Kompilieren"), den Zusammenhang zwischen der gelehrten Tätigkeit von Editoren, Philologen oder akademische Lehrern und den Endprodukten ihrer Tätigkeit ("Forschen und Lehren"), die Praktiken des Transfers von Wissen an Adressaten ("Kommunizieren und Repräsentieren") und schließlich das Überwachen der gelehrten Kommunikation und ihre Regularien.
Book Synopsis A Centaur in London by : Fabian Kraemer
Download or read book A Centaur in London written by Fabian Kraemer and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nuanced reframing of the dual importance of reading and observation for early modern naturalists. Historians traditionally argue that the sciences were born in early modern Europe during the so-called Scientific Revolution. At the heart of this narrative lies a supposed shift from the knowledge of books to the knowledge of things. The attitude of the new-style intellectual broke with the text-based practices of erudition and instead cultivated an emerging empiricism of observation and experiment. Rather than blindly trusting the authority of ancient sources such as Pliny and Aristotle, practitioners of this experimental philosophy insisted upon experiential proof. In A Centaur in London, Fabian Kraemer calls a key tenet of this master narrative into question—that the rise of empiricism entailed a decrease in the importance of reading practices. Kraemer shows instead that the early practices of textual erudition and observational empiricism were by no means so remote from one another as the traditional narrative would suggest. He argues that reading books and reading the book of nature had a great deal in common—indeed, that reading texts was its own kind of observation. Especially in the case of rare and unusual phenomena like monsters, naturalists were dependent on the written reports of others who had experienced the good luck to be at the right place at the right time. The connections between compiling examples from texts and from observation were especially close in such cases. A Centaur in London combines the history of scholarly reading with the history of scientific observation to argue for the sustained importance of both throughout the Renaissance and provides a nuanced, textured portrait of early modern naturalists at work.
Book Synopsis The Power of Persuasion by : Lucas Haasis
Download or read book The Power of Persuasion written by Lucas Haasis and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucas Haasis found a time capsule: A complete mercantile letter archive of the merchant Nicolaus Gottlieb Luetkens who lived in 18th century Hamburg. Luetkens travelled France between 1743-1745 in order to become a successful wholesale merchant. He succeeded in this undertaking via both shrewd business practice and proficient skills in the practice of letter writing. Based on this unique discovery, in this microhistorical study Lucas Haasis examines the crucial steps and activities of a mercantile establishment phase, the typical letter practices of Early Modern merchants, and the practical principles of persuasion leading to success in the 18th century.

Book Synopsis Women’s Private Practices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe by : Natacha Klein Käfer
Download or read book Women’s Private Practices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe written by Natacha Klein Käfer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores knowledge practices by five women from different European contexts. Contributors document, analyze, and discuss how women employed practices of privacy to pursue knowledge that did not necessarily conform with the curriculum prescribed for them. The practices of Jane Lumley in England, Camila Herculiana in Padua, Victorine de Chastenay in Paris, as well as Elisabeth Sophie Marie and Philippine Charlotte in Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, will help us to exemplify the delicate balance between audacity and obedience that women had to employ to be able to explore science, literature, philosophy, theology, and other types of learned activities. Cases range from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, presenting continuities and discontinuities across temporal and geographical lines of the strategies that women used to protect their knowledge production and retain intact their reputations as good Christian daughters, wives, and mothers. Taken together, the essays show how having access to privacy—the ability to regulate access to themselves while studying and learning—was a crucial condition for the success of the knowledge activities these women pursued. This is an open access book.
Book Synopsis Early Modern European Diplomacy by : Dorothée Goetze
Download or read book Early Modern European Diplomacy written by Dorothée Goetze and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.
Book Synopsis Regulating Knowledge in an Entangled World by : Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis
Download or read book Regulating Knowledge in an Entangled World written by Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulating Knowledge in an Entangled World uses case studies from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries to study knowledge transfer in early modern knowledge societies. In the early modern period the scale, intensity, and reach of exchange exploded. This volume develops a historicised understanding of knowledge transfer to shed new light on these fundamental changes. By looking at the preconditions of knowledge transfer, it shifts the focus from the objects circulating to the interactions by which they circulate and the way actors cement their relations. The novelty of this approach shows how rules and regulations were enablers of knowledge circulation, rather than impediments. The chapters identify changing patterns of knowledge transfer in cases such as sixteenth-century Venice, the Spanish Empire in the Americas, continental Habsburg, early seventeenth-century Dutch at sea, and the Offices of the Catholic Church. Through the perspective of ‘regulating’, this volume advances the historiography of knowledge circulation by forging a new combination of histories of circulation and of institutions. By bringing together historians from intellectual history, economic history, book history, the history of science, religion, art, and material culture, this volume is useful for students and scholars interested in early modern knowledge societies and changing patterns of knowledge transfer.

Book Synopsis Oratio funebris: Die katholische Leichenpredigt der frühen Neuzeit by :
Download or read book Oratio funebris: Die katholische Leichenpredigt der frühen Neuzeit written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 843 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Band ist einem Gegenstand gewidmet, der nach Ansicht mancher Forscher gar nicht existiert. Die frühneuzeitliche Leichenpredigt gilt - nach und aufgrund der eminenten Aufwertung der Gattung durch Martin Luther - in weiten Kreisen der Forschung als exklusives kulturelles Phänomen der protestantischen Territorien innerhalb des deutschsprachigen Raumes, das niemals ein entsprechendes Pendant in den Beerdigungs- und Totenehrungsritualen der katholischen Kirche gefunden habe. Tatsächlich aber ist - trotz aller einschlägigen Verbote der katholischen Kirchenobrigkeiten - eine bislang noch nicht genau quantifizierbare Menge an gedruckten katholischen Leichenpredigten aus dem 16. bis 18. Jahrhundert überliefert, wenn auch in der Überzahl an entlegenen und schwer zugänglichen Orten (zumeist in kirchlichen Privatbibliotheken). Ziel des Bandes ist es, jene über Jahrzehnte hinweg kolportierte Forschungsmeinung zu widerlegen und erste Ansätze zu einer Erschließung von katholischen Leichenpredigten der frühen Neuzeit zu liefern. In zwölf interdisziplinär breit gestreuten Studien werden die unterschiedlichsten druck-, sozial-, frömmigkeits-, rhetorik- und kunstgeschichtlichen Aspekte dieser Gattung katholischer Gebrauchstexte erstmals in den Blick der kulturhistorischen Forschung genommen. Zum anderen werden in einem Katalog die Bestände an deutschsprachigen katholischen Leichenpredigten in Einzeldrucken aus zwei bedeutenden einschlägigen Sammlungen (Stiftsbibliothek Klosterneuburg, Universitätsbibliothek Eichstätt) exemplarisch durch Autopsieaufnahmen auf hohem bibliographischem Niveau erschlossen.
Book Synopsis Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850 by : Martin Korenjak
Download or read book Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850 written by Martin Korenjak and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early modern period, the emergence of what ultimately became modern science took place mainly in Latin, the international language of educated discourse of the era. Hundreds of thousands of scientific texts were published in Latin from the invention of print around 1450 to the demise of Latin as a language of science around 1850. Despite its importance, our knowledge of this literature is extremely limited. This book aims to provide an overview of this area, the first ever to be written. It does so, not from the perspective of a natural scientist or a historian of science, but of a literary scholar. Instead of the scientific content or methodology of the respective works, it focusses on the genres of scientific literature and their communicative functions. Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850 falls into two main parts. The first part ('Contexts') introduces four aspects of early modern intellectual culture which are crucial for an understanding of the scientific literature of the time: the development of science, the role of Latin, the concept of literature, and the rise of print. Part two ('Texts'), offers an overview of Neo-Latin scientific literature. Subsumed under five communicative functions - disclosing sources, presenting facts, arguing for certain positions, summarizing knowledge, and publicizing science - twenty pertinent genres are discussed.
Book Synopsis Bodies in Early Modern Religious Dissent by : Elisabeth Fischer
Download or read book Bodies in Early Modern Religious Dissent written by Elisabeth Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern times, religious affiliation was often communicated through bodily practices. Despite various attempts at definition, these practices remained extremely fluid and lent themselves to individual appropriation and to evasion of church and state control. Because bodily practices prompted much debate, they serve as a useful starting point for examining denominational divisions, allowing scholars to explore the actions of smaller and more radical divergent groups. The focus on bodies and conflicts over bodily practices are the starting point for the contributors to this volume who depart from established national and denominational historiographies to probe the often-ambiguous phenomena occurring at the interstices of confessional boundaries. In this way, the authors examine a variety of religious living conditions, socio-cultural groups, and spiritual networks of early modern Europe and the Americas. The cases gathered here skillfully demonstrate the diverse ways in which regional and local differences affected the interpretation of bodily signs. This book will appeal to scholars and students of early modern Europe and the Americas, as well as those interested in religious and gender history, and the history of dissent.
Book Synopsis The Moment of Death in Early Modern Europe, c. 1450–1800 by : Benedikt Brunner
Download or read book The Moment of Death in Early Modern Europe, c. 1450–1800 written by Benedikt Brunner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both in our time and in the past, death was one of the most important aspects of anyone’s life. The early modern period saw drastic changes in rites of death, burials and commemoration. One particularly fruitful avenue of research is not to focus on death in general, but the moment of death specifically. This volume investigates this transitionary moment between life and death. In many cases, this was a death on a deathbed, but it also included the scaffold, battlefield, or death in the streets. Contributors: Friedrich J. Becher, Benedikt Brunner, Isabel Casteels, Martin Christ, Louise Deschryver, Irene Dingel, Michaël Green, Vanessa Harding, Sigrun Haude, Vera Henkelmann, Imke Lichterfeld, Erik Seeman, Elizabeth Tingle, and Hillard von Thiessen.
Book Synopsis Changes Between the Lines by : Doris Stolberg
Download or read book Changes Between the Lines written by Doris Stolberg and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates the diachronic dimension of contact-induced language change based on empirical data from Pennsylvania German (PG), a variety of German in long-term contact with English. Written data published in local print media from Pennsylvania (USA) between 1868 and 1992 are analyzed with respect to semantic changes in the argument structure of verbs, the use of impersonal constructions, word order changes in subordinate clauses and in prepositional phrase constructions. The research objective is to trace language change based on diachronic empirical data, and to assess whether existing models of language contact make provisions to cover the long-term developments found in PG. The focus of the study is thus twofold: first, it provides a detailed analysis of selected semantic and syntactic changes in Pennsylvania German, and second, it links the empirical findings to theoretical approaches to language contact. Previous investigations of PG have drawn a more or less static, rather than dynamic, picture of this contact variety. The present study explores how the dynamics of language contact can bring about language mixing, borrowing, and, eventually, language change, taking into account psycholinguistic processes in (the head of) the bilingual speaker.
Book Synopsis Practice, Practice Theory and Theology by : Kirstine Helboe Johansen
Download or read book Practice, Practice Theory and Theology written by Kirstine Helboe Johansen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How might practice theories and engagement with practice contribute to and advance theological study of religion and religious life and practices? This volume explores and discusses how theological engagement with practice, theoretically as well as empirically, might profit from theories of practice developed in disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, education and organisational studies during the recent decades, but so far scarcely employed within theology. In part I, the volume unfolds key components of practice theory, especially as they have more recently been developed within sociological practice theories, reflect on their significance and potential with regard to theology. In part II, these perspectives are employed in the study of concrete religious practices - established as well as experimental religious practices, and collective as well as individual ones. By unfolding connections between theology and practice theories, and reflecting on practice theories' analytical and theoretical potential for theological study of religion, the book will be of interest for any scholar in the study of contemporary religion and practical theology.
Book Synopsis Frühneuzeitliche Universitätskulturen by : Barbara Krug-Richter
Download or read book Frühneuzeitliche Universitätskulturen written by Barbara Krug-Richter and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2009 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Universitätsgeschichte wird nach wie vor vielfach als Wissenschafts- bzw. Institutionengeschichte betrieben. Entsprechend wenige fundierte wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen liegen bisher zum Alltagsleben im frühneuzeitlichen Studenten- und Gelehrtenmilieu vor. Ausgehend von diesem Forschungsdesiderat thematisieren die Beiträge des Bandes zentrale Aspekte des Lebens an den vormodernen Universitäten in europäischer Perspektive. Im Blickfeld der Betrachtungen stehen Phänomene wie Musik und Tanz in der studentischen Kultur, das Leben in den Colleges der Universität Krakau im 16. Jahrhundert oder die Männlichkeitskonzepte von Studenten an der frühneuzeitlichen Universitat Cambridge. Einen anderen Blick auf die professorale Lebensrealität werfen Beitrage zur gelehrten Kleiderordnung als Medium sozialer Distinktion, zu Professorengrabmälern in Oxford, Leiden und Tübingen als symbolische Markierungen des gelehrten Milieus sowie zu Orten und Praktiken der Gelehrtenkultur am Beispiel der Gastfreundschaft."--Publisher's website.
