Sibyls & Prophets. Constellations of Figural Knowledge in Premodernity (B08*)

该项目研究了知识转移和转化的结构条件，这些知识可以在古代异教徒的预言家与圣经先知配对的文化实践中看到，因为它自古代晚期以来就已经发生了。该项目特别关注这些配对引起注意的知识模式的多样性，特别关注各种知识形式的媒介和物质形式。它探讨了如何配对这些文化强大的数字产生了一系列的认知归属，语义编码和跨文化的拨款。将特别注意的方式，其中遇到的女巫和先知之间的结果在复杂的纠缠不连续的时间性- e。G.异教时间与基督教末世论-并在创造语义重叠之间的两个不同的，但密切相关的一套数字。

The project examines the structural conditions for the transfer and transformation of knowledge that can be witnessed in the cultural practice of pairing antique-pagan sibyls with biblical prophets, as it has occurred since late antiquity. The project pays particular attention to the plurality of modes of knowledge to which these pairings draw attention, with a special focus on the medial and material forms in which the respective forms of knowledge are staged. It investigates how the pairing of these culturally powerful figures generates a whole range of epistemic ascriptions, semantic encodings and transcultural appropriations. Particular attention will be paid to the ways in which the encounters between sibyls and prophets result in complex entanglements of discontinuous temporalities – e. g. pagan time vs. Christian eschatology – and in the creation of semantic overlaps between the two different and yet intimately related sets of figures.
