Beschreibung:
Although Antiquity itself has been intensively researched, together with its reception, to date this has largely happened in a compartmentalized fashion. This series presents for the first time an interdisciplinary contextualization of the productive acquisitions and transformations of the arts and sciences of Antiquity in the slow process of the European societies constructing a scientific system and their own cultural identity, a process which started in the Middle Ages and has continued up to the Modern Age.
The series is a product of work in the Collaborative Research Centre “Transformations of Antiquity” and the “August Boeckh Centre of Antiquity” at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Their individual projects examine transformational processes on three levels in particular ‒ the constitutive function of Antiquity in the formation of the European knowledge society, the role of Antiquity in the genesis of modern cultural identities and self-constructions, and the forms of reception in art, literature, translation and media.

Diese Phänomene bringen, zusammen mit transformativen Prozessen, ein komplexes Geflecht an Interaktionen hervor, in dem sich vielfältige ,Figuren des Transformativen' identifizieren lassen. Bei diesen kann es sich um Menschen und Dinge, Praktiken, Medien, Artefakte oder Ideen handeln. Sie generieren und regulieren die diskursiven Formationen sowie die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Zusammenhänge, in denen ein kultureller Transfer stattfindet.
Vor dem skizzierten Hintergrund untersucht dieser Band aus geschichtlicher und wissenschaftshistorischer Perspektive und behandelt anhand konkreter Beispiele vielfältige 'Figuren des Transformativen' im spanisch-deutschen Kultur- und Wissenstransfer vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart.
