Letters as Material Communication in the Literature of the 12th to 17th Century (C10*)

该子项目研究了中世纪和早期现代关于信件的故事。作为书面互动的元文本场景，这些故事启发了一个特定的前现代和早期现代文本文化。在文学文本中，字母的流动性是必不可少的，诸如承载和呈现物化信息的做法尤其令人感兴趣。因此，该分项目分析文学信件的传播，重点是信件的拓扑流动性和文本及其载体之间的行为学关系。

The subproject examines medieval and early modern stories about letters. As meta-textual scenes of written interaction, these stories enlighten a specific pre- and early modern text culture. In literary texts, the mobility of the letters is essential; practices like carrying and presenting the materialized messages are of particular interest. The subproject therefore analyses literary letters in respect to their transmission, focusing on the topological mobility of letters and the praxeological relationships between texts and their carriers.
