The Holy Land Geography as Emotional Experience
(De Gruyter, 2021-06-08)
In this paper,we evaluate various medieval cartographic and diagrammatic representations of the Holy Land. The analysis focuses particularly on the religious dimensions of these representations and their potential for making pilgrimage accessible, creating religious symbolism and exciting spiritual emotions. The leading hypothesis is that medieval mapmakers introduced special technical features into maps and similar cartographic representations to deepen religious emotions and to stimulate intense sensory responses ...

Mittelalter erschließen
(2021-07-15)
Research communication has been gaining public attention in recent years. Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative ...

Dynamiken in der Kartographie um 1500
(De Gruyter, 2021)
Auf der Suche nach dem ‚richtigen‘ kartographischen Wissen prallten im 15. Jahrhundert recht gegensätzliche Vorstellungen aufeinander: Die praktischen Erfahrungen von Seeleuten standen gegen die Anschauungen der gelehrten Kosmographen, die neuen Entdeckungen des Christoph Kolumbus gegen die alten Vermessungen des Claudius Ptolemäus, mündlich vorgetragene Erklärungen gegen schriftlich tradierte Einsichten, die Erweiterungen des geographischen Weltbilds gegen allgemein bekannte Traditionen, lokale Verfahrensweisen gegen ...

Von der Reise zur Karte und zurück
(De Gruyter, 2021)
This essay concentrates on the creative potential of mapping for the subsequent processing of travels, experiences, and descriptions as well as on the associated cultural techniques, such as copying, imitating, quoting, de-contextualizing, re-contextualizing, and transplantation. It focuses on the transformation from travel to map and from the map back to the space traveled. Based on examples in which travel knowledge and cartographic skills are intertwined, the essay illuminates the wide spectrum of possibilities ...

Geschichtswissenschaft
(2021-07-15)
Die mittelalterliche Geschichte ist derzeit noch relativ fester Bestandteil des allgemeinen Geschichtsunterrichts, obwohl die zeitliche Differenzierung durch die Kompetenzorientierung in den Lehrplänen immer weiter zurückgedrängt wird. Anders als rein chronologisch-inhaltliche Lehrpläne bietet die Kompetenzorientierung jedoch grundsätzlich gute Möglichkeiten, ‚mittelalterliches‘ Material einzubauen. In den meisten geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten existiert in der Regel – mit einigen Ausnahmen – eine eigene ...

Layers of Post-Development: De- and reconstructions in a world in which many worlds exist
(2021-02)
Post-Development as a critique of ‘development’ is almost as fuzzy and amoeba-shaped as the concept, discourse and practice it has long proclaimed as failed (Ziai 2015). While alternatives to ‘development’ have been called for, it remains unclear as to ‘alternatives to what?’ and ‘what kind of alternatives’ are in demand and by whom. The approach of this paper is to understand Post- Development as a set of theories, strategies and visions that all depart from a similar critique of ‘development’ as imperial and hegemonic ...

Bridging the postcolonial political-economy divide. Towards a Theoretical Framework.
(2020-04)
Points of contact between the postcolonial studies’ field of research and international political economy (IPE) are rare. On the one hand, one can note a reluctance in postcolonial scholarship to open up for economic analysis. On the other hand, IPE literature has been somewhat resistant to take up the postcolonial critique. This paper offers an interdisciplinary approach by merging the two discrete disciplines on poststructuralist grounds, suggesting principles for a postcolonial-political economy approach and ...
