Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 2,8, Universität Münster (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Karl V., Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Mittelalter gilt in der heutigen historischen Forschung als das "finstere Zeitalter". Es wurde bestimmt von Hexenverfolgungen, Kreuzzügen und von der streng gegliederten ständischen Gesellschaft. Die Bezeichnung finster richtet sich sehr oft auch auf die Bereiche Literatur, Wissenschaft und Dichtung. Und sehr oft trifft die These, dass das Mittelalter für die Weiterentwicklung dieser genannten Bereiche nicht sehr von Nutzen war, auch zu. Doch es gibt eine Epoche innerhalb des Mittelalters, auf die diese These auf gar keinen Fall zutrifft. Gemeint ist die Renaissance. Die Renaissance gilt als die Zeit der Wiederbelebung antiker Kulturen und Sprachen und als Wiedergeburt des in der Antike verbreiteten Denkens. Sie wirkte sich auf alle Bereiche des täglichen Lebens im ausgehenden Mittelalter aus. Die Zeit ab 1500 gilt heute auch als "Wendezeit zwischen Mittelalter und Neuzeit". Sie führte einen Wandel in der Gesellschaft, der Literatur und auch in der Kirche herbei, der für die sich anknüpfende Neuzeit von herausragender Bedeutung war. Inmitten dieser Renaissance prägte vor allen Dingen die Reformation von Martin Luther im Jahr 1517 und auch die Erfindung des Buchdrucks durch Johannes Gutenberg 1452 den Verlauf des alltäglichen Lebens und damit auch die Situation innerhalb der Gesellschaft in Europa. Diese Arbeit untersucht, auf welche Bereiche des Lebens die Renaissance Einfluss genommen hat. Um einen Überblick bewahren zu können, unterteilt sich diese Arbeit nach einer kurzen Erläuterung des Begriffes Renaissance in mehrere Kapitel. So beschäftigt sich ein Teil mit der Gliederung der Gesellschaft, ein weiterer wird sich mit der Entwicklung der Sprachen im Mittelalter auseinandersetzen. Neben der Betrachtung der Gebiete Kunst, Bildung und Literatur soll auch das Freizeitverhalten der Menschen im ausgehenden Mittelalter untersucht werden. Und auch die Analyse der Rolle der Frau und die der Position der Kirche in der Renaissance wird durchgeführt. Als Basis liegen dieser Arbeit viele erhaltene Schriftstücke bekannter Literaten und auch Herrscher zu Grunde, aus denen sich Aussagen über das alltägliche Leben zur Zeit der Renaissance herausfiltern lassen.

This is an innovative analysis of the agrarian world and growth of government in early modern Germany through the medium of pre-industrial society's most basic material resource, wood. Paul Warde offers a regional study of south-west Germany from the late fifteenth to the early eighteenth century, demonstrating the stability of the economy and social structure through periods of demographic pressure, warfare and epidemic. He casts light on the nature of 'wood shortages' and societal response to environmental challenge, and shows how institutional responses largely based on preventing local conflict were poor at adapting to optimise the management of resources. Warde further argues for the inadequacy of models that oppose the 'market' to a 'natural economy' in understanding economic behaviour. This is a major contribution to debates about the sustainability of peasant society in early modern Europe, and to the growth of ecological approaches to history and historical geography.

Zealots for souls draws attention to the impact of the Observant reforms within the Order of Preachers, and ambitiously stirs up a broad scope of questions pertaining to the institutional narratives produced within the order between c. 1388 and 1517. Through the narratives and the forms of remembrance they fostered, the author traces the development of contemporary characteristics of the Dominican self-understanding. The book shows the fluid boundaries between the genres (order chronicles, convent chronicles, collective biographies), highlights the interplay between the narrative and the intended audience, addresses the complex question of authorship, and assesses the indebtedness of 'modern' (printed) narratives to older chronicles or biographical collections. The book demonstrates that the majority of the extant institutional narratives were written by Observant Dominicans, who strived for the internal reform of their order. They wrote history to justify their own reform agenda and therefore produced invariably partisan chronicles. The work's method is widely applicable and contributes to further reassessment of institutional narratives as sources for the analysis of religious and intellectual transformations.

An argument that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things. Discard studies is an emerging field that looks at waste and wasting broadly construed. Rather than focusing on waste and trash as the primary objects of study, discard studies looks at wider systems of waste and wasting to explore how some materials, practices, regions, and people are valued or devalued, becoming dominant or disposable. In this book, Max Liboiron and Josh Lepawsky argue that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things. They show how the theories and methods of discard studies can be applied in a variety of cases, many of which do not involve waste, trash, or pollution. Liboiron and Lepawsky consider the partiality of knowledge and offer a theory of scale, exploring the myth that most waste is municipal solid waste produced by consumers; discuss peripheries, centers, and power, using content moderation as an example of how dominant systems find ways to discard; and use theories of difference to show that universalism, stereotypes, and inclusion all have politics of discard and even purification—as exemplified in “inclusive” efforts to broaden the Black Lives Matter movement. Finally, they develop a theory of change by considering “wasting well,” outlining techniques, methods, and propositions for a justice-oriented discard studies that keeps power in view.

The Republican Alternative seeks to move beyond the mere notion of scholarly inquiry into the republic—the subject of recent rediscovery by political historians interested in Europe’s intellectual heritage—by investigating the practical similarities and differences between two early modern republics, as well as their self-images and interactions during the turbulent seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Among the world’s most economically successful societies, Switzerland and the Netherlands laid much of the foundation for their prosperity during the early modern period discussed here. This volume attempts to clarify the special character of these two countries as they developed, including issues of religious plurality, the republican form of government, and an increasingly commercially-driven agrarian society.

The Mediterranean has always attracted the imagination of modern historians as the epicentre of great political entities, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, Venetians, and Spanish. However, it seems that the sea itself was always on the margins of historical inquiry – at least, until the publication of the famous two-volume work by F. Braudel in 1949. This collection of essays aims to offer a vertical history of war in the Mediterranean Sea, from the early Middle Ages to the early modernity, putting the emphasis on the changing face of several different aspects and contexts of war over time. Contributors are Stephen Bennett, Stathis Birtachas, Cornel Bontea, Wayne H. Bowen, Lilia Campana, Raffaele D’Amato, Elina Gugliuzzo, Nikolaos Kanellopoulos, Savvas Kyriakides, Tilemachos Lounghis, Alan V.
