SFB 933: Material Text Cultures. Materiality and Presence of Writing in Non-Typographic Societies

海德堡的933合作研究中心（CRC）研究写在事物上的文本；如石柱、石门、墓碑、泥板、陶片、护身符、竹片、纸莎草、羊皮纸或纸上的手稿等。它关注的是这些事物的物质方面和它们的存在，即（拓扑）情况，在这种情况下，它们产生了特定的效果。从材料和存在的性质出发——这是研究的前提——这些事物所涉及的实践是可以重构的。《儿童权利公约》主要关注的是没有通过工业手段复制文字的时期和文化，因此无法广泛获取（“非印刷社会”）。在这方面，它证实了历史上根深蒂固的意识，即写作、写作基质以及与之相关的行为形成了一种紧密而相互依赖的关系，这种关系今天仍然可以看到（例如，在信件、书籍、墓碑、涂鸦、屏幕、平板电脑中）。

The Collaborative Research Centre 933 (CRC) in Heidelberg studies texts which are written on things; such as texts on columns, portals, tombstones, clay tablets, pottery sherds, amulets, bamboo splices, and manuscripts on papyrus, parchment, or paper etc. It focusses on the material aspects of these things and their presence, i. e. on the (topological) situation, in which they developed their specific effect. Starting from the material and presence qualities – so the premise of research – the practices these things were involved in can be reconstructed. The CRC concentrates mostly on periods and cultures in which writing was not reproduced by industrial means and thus was not widely accessible (“non-typographic societies”). In this respect, it corroborates the historically-rooted awareness of the extent to which writing, the writing substrate, and behaviours that are connected to them form a tight and mutually dependent relationship that can still be seen today (e. g., in letters, books, tombstones, graffiti, screens, tablets).
