The network investigates material things in medieval literature. It aims to develop a coherent thing-theoretical approach, taking into account methods from narratology, media theory, and cultural anthropology. It assumes three major dimensions of human-thing-relations in fictional and non-fictional texts of the Middle Ages: first, things are linked to emotions and (sometimes reciprocal) desire; second, their perception and cognitive apprehension is thematised, including an interest in the aesthetics and semiosis of things; and third, communication and action takes place by means of things, including transcendental communication, gift-giving, and agential things. In the course of investigating these three areas of work (emotion/desire, perception/cognition, communication/action), the compatibility of the relatively recent approach of thing studies with long-established fields of research will also be discussed.

该网络调查中世纪文学中的物质事物。它旨在发展一种连贯的事物理论方法，考虑到叙事学，媒体理论和文化人类学的方法。它假设了中世纪小说和非小说文本中人-物-关系的三个主要维度：首先，事物与情感联系在一起，第二，他们的感知和认知理解是主题化的，包括对事物的美学和符号学的兴趣;第三，沟通和行动是借助物而发生的，包括超验沟通、礼物赠送和施事。在研究这三个工作领域（情感/欲望、感知/认知、沟通/行动）的过程中，还将讨论相对较新的事物研究方法与历史悠久的研究领域的兼容性。
