项目摘要

The proposed network is designed to meet a desideratum of researchposed by the current lack of any comprehensive account of medievallegendary literature. Comprising a voluminous as well as variedcorpus of writings, the genre must elude any immediate attempts atexhaustive definition, wherefore the main objective is to recapitulatethe inherent diversity of legendary narration under particularconsideration of the latters discursive flexibility and susceptibility toconstant actualisation. Instead of applying any ontological concept ofsanctity, the network will venture to delineate and explore the wholerange of corresponding notions projected by the material. Eachtextual witness is to be discussed systematically as well as historicallyin terms of both the way in which specific concepts of gender, body,and identity are applied in order to constitute the respective saint, andthe way in which sanctity is established qua mobilisation of aparticular set of narrative techniques. In this context, the concept ofimitatio Christi is of key importance. It is by no means to be conceivedof as belonging exclusively to the intratextual sphere, as imitation ofthe passion, but may also either imply intertextual phenomena (e.g. inthe case of imitatio auctorum), or be realised by performative means(such as the involvement of the audience through the speech act ofprayer). Accordingly, the project is going to lend particular attention tothe different forms of religious functionalisation that legendarynarrations are subject to. Analysing the latter, institutional and medialcontexts are to be considered, to the effect that our discussion of thedifferent ways in which sanctity is medialised and narrativised must beindissolubly interlaced with inquiries into the historical conditions ofliterary production and reception. This approach promises to rendernuanced insights into the flexibility of legendary literature in the faceof historically varying validity conditions. Engaging three levels ofanalysis, the network will examine contents-related aspects (projectedsaint/subject matter/motif/s), formal criteria (language, narrativepattern, genre/format), and matters of context (tradition, institution,religious functionalisation) together with their specific interrelations inorder to extrapolate their respective roles in the construction of saints.This way, the interplay of invariable and variable aspects in legendaryliterature can be described in terms of a process of constantrecombination of diverse discursive and narrative traditions. Thematerial result of the projected networks research, a co-authoredmonograph on legendary narration in the Middle Ages with specialemphasis on German hagiography, will examine history andsystematics of the genre of legend as a key medium of religiouscommunication, thus providing an important contribution to bothliterary history and the history of religion of the Middle Ages.

拟议的网络是为了满足目前缺乏对中世纪传奇文学的任何全面记述而提出的研究的愿望。这一体裁包括大量和各种不同的作品语料库，必须避免任何直接的详尽定义的尝试，因此主要目的是在特别考虑后一种话语的灵活性和对不断实现的敏感性的情况下，重述传奇叙事的内在多样性。而不是应用任何本体论的神圣概念，该网络将冒险描绘和探索材料投射的相应概念的范围。每个文本证人都将被系统地和历史地讨论，既包括如何应用特定的性别、身体和身份概念来构成各自的圣徒，也是如何作为一套特殊的叙事技巧的动员来建立神圣性的方式。在这方面，模仿克里斯蒂的概念至关重要。它决不能被设想为完全属于文本内领域，作为对激情的模仿，但也可以隐含着互文现象(例如，在模仿Auctorum的情况下)，或者通过表演手段(例如，通过祈祷的言语行为让观众参与)。因此，该项目将特别关注传说中喉咙受到的不同形式的宗教功能化。分析后者，要考虑体制和媒介背景，大意是，我们对神圣性被调解和叙述的不同方式的讨论，必须与对文学生产和接受的历史条件的探讨不可分割地交织在一起。这种方法承诺对传奇文学在面对历史上不同的有效性条件时的灵活性有更细微的洞察力。通过三个层次的分析，该网络将考察与内容相关的方面(投射的圣人/题材/母题/S)、形式标准(语言、叙事模式、体裁/格式)、语境问题(传统、制度、宗教功能)以及它们各自的相互关系，以推断它们在圣人建设中的各自角色。这样，传奇文学中不变和可变方面的相互作用可以用不同的话语和叙事传统的内容组合的过程来描述。《预测网络研究》是一本关于中世纪传奇叙事的合著者专著，特别侧重于德国圣徒传记学，它的材料成果将考察作为宗教交流关键媒介的传说体裁的历史和系统学，从而为中世纪文学史和宗教史做出重要贡献。
