Introduction
This introduction maps the field of transtextual characters: what are such characters, how have they been approached in scholarship, especially narrative theory and media studies, and why can a perspective on premodern material in particular give new impulses to their analysis? We discuss, first, the relevance of distinguishing between text and work. In premodern contexts, texts are often unstable and transmitted in various witnesses, versions, a…

In this article, I lay out a framework for how transtextual characters in medieval narrative can be theorized. I also propose a methodological approach to the analysis of medieval transtextual characters. Starting from the observation that characters in the Middle Ages are almost always transtextual, I argue that we must first clarify the ontological and epistemological status of such characters. A list of characters from ancient and medieval lit…
Unverfügbarkeit
Die Themen ›Wille‹ und ›Wollen‹ bilden eine zentrale, aber bisher wenig beachtete Diskursebene in Hartmanns Gregorius . Im Brennpunkt dieses Diskurses steht das Gegenüber von menschlichem und göttlichem Willen, das als Spannung zwischen Verfügbarmachung und Unverfügbarkeit verhandelt wird. Hartmanns Legendenroman greift dafür auf ein Plotmuster zurück, wie es unter anderem für die lateinische Brandanlegende charakteristisch ist. Es dient dazu, di…
Gott und der Welt gefallen
This article traces the motif of “pleasing God and the world” through three centuries, from Thomasin von Zerklaere’s Welscher Gast (1215/1216) to texts from the fourteenth-century Habsburg court (Peter Suchenwirt, treatise Von der Ordnung der Fürsten ) and Baldesar Castiglione’s Libro del Cortegiano (1518/1528). I argue that the notion of courteous, “polite” behavior remains fundamentally linked throughout the medieval and early modern periods to…
Psychosocial Moderators and Mediators of Sensorimotor Exercise in Low Back Pain
The effects of exercise interventions on unspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP) have been investigated in many studies, but the results are inconclusive regarding exercise types, efficiency, and sustainability. This may be because the influence of psychosocial factors on exercise induced adaptation regarding CLBP is neglected. Therefore, this study assessed psychosocial characteristics, which moderate and mediate the effects of sensorimotor exer…
Ambiguität und Doppelung
Focusing on the ›Münchner Oswald‹ and ›Orendel‹, this article traces ambiguity and narrative doubling in early Middle High German adventure and bridal-quest legends (formerly also called ›minstrel epics‹). It argues that these ambiguities, which surface in the texts as instances of narrative incoherence, point toward an incommensurability between certain religious and secular narrative »gestures«, as well as between their underlying forms of thou…

Electing the Pope in Early Modern Italy, 1450–1700, by Miles Pattenden
In recent years, early modern papal elections and interregna have been the subject of important historical studies by scholars such as Günther Wassilowsky, Maria Antonietta Visceglia and John M. Hunt. Miles Pattenden’s ‘extended essay’ (as he describes it, p. 7) complements these seminal social, cultural and cultural-political studies. Pattenden offers a political and constitutional perspective on early modern papal elections by concentrating on …
Will Regulating Drug Markets Help Governments to Better Control Organized Crime
Few expect illegal drug markets to completely disappear in a world of legally regulated psychoactive substances, but it is likely that the regulation of currently illicit drugs would significantly challenge the business model of today’s drug trafficking organizations. This article examines if and to what extent governments can expect to profit from regulating illicit drugs in terms of their control over organized criminal activity. It argues that…

Medieval Literature on the Air
This essay explores the remediation of Johannes von Tepl’s Der Ackermann (ca. 1401) for radio. Since November 1924 at least thirty-one productions of von Tepl’s piece have been aired on various German radio stations. The reasons for the continued success of Der Ackermann in the medium of radio, particularly in the 1920s and after the Second World War, are twofold. In the context of the aesthetic debates in the 1920s on remediation, immediacy, and…

Divine Wisdom
In this essay, I explore the notion of wisdom in Johannes von Tepl's Der Ackermann (c. 1401). “Wisdom” is central to the text because it serves to justify God's concluding judgment in the dispute between man and Death: Death is awarded victory for having spoken weyßheyt . In previous interpretations, the term is tentatively explained as “divine wisdom.” The question remains open, however, what this “Gottesweisheit” might be. Drawing on medieval b…
A Kingdom for a Catholic? Pope Clement VIII, King James VI/I, and the English Succession in International Diplomacy (1592–1605)
The unresolved question of who would succeed Queen Elizabeth I in the last years of the sixteenth century had repercussions beyond the British Isles. For the papacy, the contested succession seemed to provide a possibility of returning England to the Roman Catholic Church. This article places the English succession crisis in an international context, analysing the interests of princes in Spain, France, Flanders, and on the Italian peninsula from …
Unravelling daily human mobility motifs
Human mobility is differentiated by time scales. While the mechanism for long time scales has been studied, the underlying mechanism on the daily scale is still unrevealed. Here, we uncover the mechanism responsible for the daily mobility patterns by analysing the temporal and spatial trajectories of thousands of persons as individual networks. Using the concept of motifs from network theory, we find only 17 unique networks are present in daily m…
