Protestant Hagiography and Sermons on the Turks. The Transformation of two Central Genres of Religious Communication in Confessional Invectives in the 16th Century

该项目调查了在相互贬低的压力下，两种主要宗教传播类型在内容和形式上的转变，以及16世纪谩骂对文学宗教类型发展的影响问题：传说和对土耳其人的布道。在宗教改革和告解的背景下，圣徒传的叙述和对土耳其人的布道对基督教信仰的真正代表的自我定位至关重要。在这个项目中，这两个领域首次用他者的概念进行了分析，特别是关于做他者和做自我的相互关系。研究领域A考察了路德教会收集的殉道者和忏悔者的历史中圣徒传记叙事的转变，以及与天主教传说不同的圣徒日历。工作区域B分析了路德教会和天主教土耳其布道中关于第三方的谩骂沟通与相互谩骂的交织。研究区C一方面致力于天主教徒对路德的“圣化”的谩斥，作为对他对天主教徒对圣徒崇拜的尖锐批评的对应，另一方面致力于路德对多米尼加的蒙特罗塞翻译的《古兰经》的出版和评论，作为天主教对伊斯兰教“知识”的接受和转变的一个例子。总体而言，该项目有助于研究谩骂作为扰乱、稳定和活跃宗教秩序的决定性因素，以及宗教改革和告解研究领域中宗教交流类型的谩骂功能化问题。

The project investigates the transformations in content and form of two central genres of religious communication under the pressure of mutual disparagement and the question of the effects of invective for the development of literary-religious genres in the 16th century: the legend and the sermon on the Turks. Both the hagiographic narratives and the sermons on the Turks were crucial for the self-positioning as true representatives of the Christian faith in the context of Reformation and confessionalization. In the project, both fields are analyzed for the first time with the concept of Othering, especially with regard to the interrelation of Doing the Other and Doing the Self. Research Area A examines the transformation of hagiographic narrative in Lutheran collections of martyrs and confessors histories, as well as calendars of saints, as distinct from Catholic legends. Work Area B analyzes the interweaving of invective communication about a third party in conjunction with reciprocal invectives in Lutheran and Catholic Turkish sermons. Research Area C is dedicated, on the one hand, to Catholic invectives against Luther's 'sanctification' as a counterpoint to his sharp criticism of Catholic veneration of saints and, on the other hand, to Luther's publication and commentary on the Dominican Ricold of Montecroce's translation of the Koran as an example of the reception and transformation of Catholic 'knowledge' about Islam. Overall the project thus contributes to the study of invectivity as a decisive factor of disturbance, stabilization, and dynamization of religious orders as well as to the question of the invective functionalization of genres of religious communication in the research field of Reformation and confessionalization.
