研究所对16至18世纪宗教内容、实践和目标的中介表现和传播的分析采用了一种新的方法。这种方法是基于一个全面的合作，包括德语，英语和意大利/法语文学研究，拉丁语研究，历史音乐学，艺术史，历史，埃塞俄比亚和犹太研究以及新教和天主教神学。因此，森林将首次建立一个跨学科的研究合作，整合相关的学术学科，以分析精神和宗教话语背景下的早期现代中介现象。八个跨学科子研究小组将在内容和操作层面上密切合作，调查宗教文物的中介性。因此，这些团体将特别关注那些通过所涉媒体的融合和互动产生额外语义、美学和精神情感价值的人工制品。要分析的文化艺术品包括宗教音乐、文字和图像的组合、追求内在和外在形象（意象）的冥想理论和实践、以宗教主题为基础的戏剧、游行文化、纪念圣徒的神秘和纪念做法，以及在城市和国家描述中记录神圣纪念碑和人工制品。关于方法和理论框架，实地部队将贯彻既定的跨媒体和跨媒体概念。然而，这些概念必须从根本上加以区分，以便抓住现代早期的特定文化背景和精神中介性的特定星座的面貌。这种区分是对早期现代精神中介性的异质表现进行适当的诠释学、语言学和神学描述和分析的先决条件。按照这一方法，所有分项目将考虑到以下假设：首先，早期现代宗教实践总是嵌入媒体实践。第二，灵性人工制品中的水平中介配置总是与中介性的垂直维度有关，这个世界和未来世界的相互作用和连通性体现在基督的形象中，正如在神学和救赎论概念中所解释的那样。预计的FOR连接到位于汉堡大学人文学院的许多联合研究项目。基于其研究战略，该学院近年来在早期现代研究的背景下建立了一个核心研究领域。因此，根据国家和国际标准，它为FOR提供了一个理想的环境，充分利用现有的结构和专业知识，并进一步推动汉堡大学在该领域的潜力。

The FOR’s analysis of intermedial representations and disseminations of religious contents, practices and aims from the 16th to the 18th century is informed by a new approach. This approach is based on a comprehensive cooperation comprising German, English and Italian/French literary studies, Latin studies, historical musicology, art history, history, Ethiopian and Jewish studies as well as Protestant and Catholic theology. The FOR hereby will establish for the first time a transdisciplinary research cooperation integrating pertinent academic disciplines in order to analyse phenomena of early modern intermediality in the context of spiritual and religious discourse. Eight interdisciplinary sub-research groups, closely collaborating in terms of content as well as on an operative level, will investigate the intermediality of religious artefacts. Thus, these groups will pay particular attention to artefacts in which the fusion and interaction of the media involved generates additional semantic, aesthetic and spiritual-affective value. The cultural artefacts to be analysed range from sacred music, combinations of words and images, the theory and practice of meditation aspiring to internal and external pictoriality (imagery), dramas based on sacred subjects, the culture of processions, mystagogical and memorial practices commemorating the saints, as well as documentations of sacred monuments and artefacts in city and country descriptions.As regards the methodological and theoretical framework, the FOR will follow up on established concepts of inter- and transmediality. However, these concepts will have to be differentiated fundamentally in order to capture the specific cultural context of the early modern period and the physiognomy of the specific constellations of spiritual mediality. This differentiation is prerequisite for a proper hermeneutical, philological and theological description and analysis of the heterogeneous manifestations of early modern spiritual intermediality. Following this approach, all sub-projects will take into account the following assumptions: Firstly, early modern religious practice was always embedded in media practice. Secondly, the horizontal intermedial configurations in spiritual artefacts always relate to a vertical dimension of intermediality, the interplay and connectivity of this world and the world to come embodied in the figure of Christ as explicated in christological and soteriological concepts. The projected FOR connects to numerous joint research projects located in the faculty of humanities at Universität Hamburg. Based on its research strategy, the faculty has managed to establish in recent years a core research field in the context of early modern studies. It thereby provides – as measured by national and international standards – an ideal context for the FOR, making the most of the existing structures and expertise as well as pushing Universität Hamburg’s potential in the field even further.
