Images of Rome in Twelfth-Century English and German Historiography

我的项目是一个跨区域的探索的约束力和定位的叙事图像的潜力。它分析了罗马在12世纪英国和德国的历史写作，借鉴人类学家，文学学者和历史学家的工作，以采取跨学科和比较的方法。罗马拥有古老、中世纪和现代的多层建筑，是文化转型的象征。通过比较两种史学传统，我的项目将探索现代欧洲历史文化的概念结构。

My project is an interregional exploration of the binding and orientating potential of narrative images.It analyses depictions of Rome in twelfth century English and German historical writing, drawing on the work of anthropologists, literary scholars and historians in order to adopt an approach which is both interdisciplinary and comparative. With its layers of ancient, medieval and modern architecture, Rome is a symbol of cultural transformation. By comparing two historiographical traditions my project will explore the conceptual structures that underlie modern European historical cultures.
