This book presents case studies of the SFB 1070 ResourceCultures, which use an extended resource definition. Resources are analysed as contingent means to construct, sustain and alter social relations, units and identities. Accordingly, resources are seen as means of social practices of actors that depend on cultural and social appropriation and valuation. They constitute ResourceCultures. The contributions cover the topics of cross-sectional working groups and conferences that shaped the interdisciplinary collaboration on cultural, spatial and temporal dimensions of resources and ResourceCultures.

The book highlights aspects of mediality and materiality in the dissemination and distribution of texts in the Scandinavian Middle Ages important for achieving a general understanding of the emerging literate culture. In nine chapters various types of texts represented in different media and in a range of materials are treated. The topics include two chapters on epigraphy, on lead amulets and stone monuments inscribed with runes and Roman letters. In four chapters aspects of the manuscript culture is discussed, the role of authorship and of the dissemination of Christian topics in translations. The appropriation of a Latin book culture in the vernaculars is treated as well as the adminstrative use of writing in charters. In the two final chapters topics related to the emerging print culture in early post-medieval manuscripts and prints are discussed with a focus on reception. The range of topics will make the book relevant for scholars from all fields of medieval research as well as those interested in mediality and materiality in general.

Die Bedingungen der Kulturtechnik des Schreibens unterliegen vielfältigen historischen Veränderungen. Nicht nur Technologien und Schreibwerkzeuge ändern sich, sondern auch kulturelle Semantiken von Selbst und Selbstbezüglichkeit, Autorschaft, Geheimnis, Sozialität wandeln sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte. Konzepte von Raum, Medialität, Produktion, aber auch Praktiken sind keine stabilen ahistorischen Größen. Der Band befragt historische Schreibszenen nach der Art ihrer Dynamik und der Historizität ihrer Elemente. Über medienhistorische Umbrüche, kultur- und literaturwissenschaftliche Epochengrenzen hinweg lassen sich Schreibszenen vom Spätmittelalter bis zur klassischen Moderne kontrastieren und methodologische Überlegungen für eine diachrone Schreibforschung bündeln. The conditions of writing as a cultural technique are subject to technical, material, institutional, socio-cultural, and poetological changes. Practices of writing vary historically and reflections on them vary depending on the occasion, addressee, media, and point in cultural history. This volume examines historical constellations of scenes of writing and their dynamics, going beyond the boundaries of literary and cultural-historical epochs.

Considering Greek statue inscriptions from the archaic and early classical periods, this book emphasizes inscription practices without losing sight of issues of semantics. The analysis focuses on the layout and graphical or ornamental features of the inscriptions. With this approach, for the first time questions of aesthetics and materiality, which were previously examined only for the statues themselves, are also brought to their inscriptions. Das Buch nimmt griechische Statueninschriften der Archaik und Frühklassik in den Blick und legt den Fokus auf die Beschriftungspraxis, ohne Fragen der Semantik zu vernachlässigen. Im Zentrum stehen dabei etwa das Layout und die graphisch-ornamentale Qualität von Schrift. Mit diesem Zugang werden erstmals Fragen der Ästhetik und Materialität, welche bisher nur für die Statuen selbst untersucht wurden, auch an ihre Inschriften herangetragen.
