By unfurling worlds, narratives also create orders. In addition, their narration has to be structured in an orderly way, so the concept of "order" can be applied to literary texts in two ways: as the order(s) of narration and as narrated order(s). Indem narrative Texte Welten entfalten, entwerfen sie auch Ordnungen. Darüber hinaus müssen sie im Erzählen ordnungshaft gestaltet sein, so dass der Begriff der 'Ordnung' in Anwendung auf Erzähltexte in doppelter Hinsicht relevant ist: als Ordnung(en) des Erzählens wie auch als erzählte Ordnung(en). 'Ordnung' wird dabei als dynamisches Konzept verstanden, das nur in seiner Pluralität zu fassen sowie stark an die gesellschaftlichen Aktionsräume seiner Aushandlung rückgebunden ist. Denn Ordnungen zielen u. a. darauf, Gemeinschaft zu stiften und zu organisieren, Wahrnehmung zu formen, Bedeutung zu generieren, Sinnangebote zu machen sowie Wissen zu ermöglichen. Demnach lassen sich die in erzählten Welten entworfenen Ordnungsvorstellungen als spezifischer Ausdruck kulturellen Wissens lesen. Primäres Interesse des Bandes ist es, 'Ordnung' als Kategorie narratologischer Analyse zu erproben und über die im Titel benannte Doppelformel zu erfragen, inwiefern über ordnungshaftes Erzählen in Texten des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit Ordnungsvorstellungen von Gesellschaften produktiv verhandelt werden und in welcher Form Erzählliteratur somit beanspruchen kann, an der Bildung soziokultureller Welt Teil zu haben.

Alles, was in der Welt existiert, hat Entstehungsbedingungen und Folgewirkungen. Die Welt ist deswegen eine Welt von Folgen. Allein ein radikal konsequentialistisches Denken vermag die Struktur einer solchen Welt manifest werden zu lassen.

"This volume presents the collective adventure of Dingdingdong, the Institute for the Co-production of Knowledge about Huntington’s Disease, founded in 2012 between Paris and Brussels.Katrin Solhdju’s Testing Knowledge: Toward an Ecology of Diagnosis pursues the question of taming the violence of the new species of medical foreknowledge represented by genetic testing. Adopting historical and epistemological perspectives on diagnostic situations, including observations from anthropological field research, speculative storytelling, and ancient oracles, Testing Knowledge proposes a new ecology of predictive diagnostic gestures, which potentially concern us all.Testing Knowledge is preceded by the Dingdingdong collective’s Manifesto (2013), which tells the story of the young Alice Rivières, who in 2006 took the presymptomatic, genetic test, foretelling her that she will eventually develop Huntington’s. Her first-person account of the revelation of her test results, which she experienced as an act of poisoning or cursing, pulls the reader into the manifold ethical, psychological, and existential issues inherent to medical predictions.Testing Knowledge is also preceded by a foreword from Alice Wexler, author of Mapping Fate: A Memoir of Family, Risk, and Genetic Research, and is followed by an afterword by philosopher Isabelle Stengers."

This study examines the motivations and doctrinal coherence of the Commentary on the Elements of Theology of Proclus written by Berthold of Moosburg, O.P. († c. 1361/1363). It provides an overview of Berthold’s biography and intellectual contexts, his manuscript remains, and a partial edition of his annotations on Macrobius and Proclus. Through a close analysis of the three prefaces to the Commentary, giving special attention to Berthold’s sources, it traces the Dominican's elaboration of Platonism as a soteriological science. The content of this science is then presented in a systematic reconstruction of Berthold’s cosmology and anthropology. The volume includes an English translation of the three fundamental prefaces of the Commentary.. Readership: Students and specialists of medieval philosophy and the history of Platonism, especially those interested in the influence of late-antique Neoplatonism on medieval natural philosophy and theories of contemplation.
