Is it even possible to do research on Morgante today - a chivalric epic of the late 15th century in which the pagan opponents of Christians are regularly stigmatised as 'dogs' or 'accursed heathens' and in which the objectification of others is expressed not least in the fact that their heads are split open like melons (Morgante III, 53) and bodies are cut open like loaves of bread (Morgante III, 71)? In research and in discussions within and outside the university, three possibilities of dealing with literary classics emerge that, from today's perspective, would have to be accused of political incorrectness. First, one can simply ignore such and similar 'disturbing factors' and rather turn to innocuous aspects of the work, which may seem difficult when the scolding of those of other faiths is an almost constitutive element of the text.Secondly, if one takes note of the xenophobic (from today's point of view) aspects of the work, one can, as it were, cancel them out through a historicising approach by declaring that insults such as "can saracino" ("Saracen dog", Morgante XXVII, 17) or "pagan maladetto" ("cursed heathen", Morgante XXVII, 18) are topical and not meant as insults at all, or that they correspond to the expectations of the audience or the narrative guidelines of the epic.Thirdly, there is the possibility of reading the texts in an updating manner, i.e. to view them from the perspective of the present. As an adaptation and/or creative reception, actualisation can uncover the work's current potential meanings; as a mode of reading, it can be problematic if it doesn't reach beyond a merely judging, possibly condemning or censoring approach.This poses completely new challenges for literary studies, which, in the name of the autonomy of the work of art, have privileged a stance of distanced contemplation for around one hundred and fifty years - in research as well as in teaching. Especially as a lecturer, one is confronted with the delicate question of whether to banish the 'old classics' from the canon of what can be taught or instead to choose an actualising approach in the hope of motivating students to read pre-modern texts by pointing out their politically explosive themes. All three possibilities outlined here are ultimately unsatisfactory; ways must be found beyond mere censorship, pure historicisation and ideologically biased actualisation. The project explores the representation of the Other in Luigi Pulci's "Morgante" (1461-1483) and its reception in the present between historicisation, actualisation and censorship. It comprises a dissertation project, an interdisciplinary and an international conference, from which two research volumes are to emerge, as well as two essay projects by the applicant.

在这部世纪晚期的骑士史诗中，反对基督徒的异教徒经常被污名化为“狗”或“被诅咒的异教徒”，在这部史诗中，对他人的物化表现在他们的头像西瓜一样被劈开的事实上（Morgante III，53）和身体被切开像面包（Morgante III，71）？在大学内外的研究和讨论中，出现了三种处理文学经典的可能性，从今天的角度来看，这三种可能性必须被指责为政治上的不正确。首先，人们可以简单地忽略这些和类似的“令人不安的因素”，而转向工作的无害方面，当对其他信仰的人的责骂几乎是文本的组成部分时，这似乎很困难。（从今天的角度来看）工作的各个方面，可以说，通过历史化的方法来消除它们，宣布诸如“可以萨拉西诺”之类的侮辱（“撒拉逊狗”，摩根特二十七，17）或“异教徒maladetto”（“被诅咒的异教徒”，摩根特二十七，18）是专题，而不是侮辱的意思，在所有，或者说，他们对应的观众的期望或叙事准则的史诗。第三，有可能以更新的方式阅读这些文本，即从现在的角度来看待它们。作为一种适应和/或创造性的接受，实现可以揭示作品当前的潜在意义;作为一种阅读方式，如果它不能超越仅仅是评判，可能是谴责或审查的方法，它可能是有问题的。这对文学研究提出了全新的挑战，文学研究以艺术作品自主性的名义，在大约一百五十年的时间里，无论是在研究还是在教学中，他都享有一种远距离沉思的立场。特别是作为一个讲师，一个人面临着一个微妙的问题，是否要驱逐“老经典”的佳能可以教什么，而是选择一个实现的方法，希望激励学生阅读前现代文本指出他们的政治爆炸性的主题。这里概述的所有三种可能性最终都是不令人满意的;必须找到超越纯粹审查、纯粹历史化和意识形态偏见的现实化的方法。该项目探讨了Luigi Pulci的“Morgante”（1461-1483）中的他者的代表性及其在历史化，现实化和审查之间的接受。它包括一个论文项目，一个跨学科和一个国际会议，从中将出现两个研究卷，以及申请人的两个论文项目。
