Abstract

Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger lehrt als Professorin für Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster. Im Jahr 2005 wurde sie mit dem Leibniz-Preis ausgezeichnet. In besonderen historischen Situationen, wenn viel auf dem Spiel stand und die Machtverhältnisse besonders offen waren, spielten symbolisch-rituelle Formen eine entscheidende Rolle. Sie dienten dazu, den RahU+00acmen des politischen Handelns zu definieren, die Gewichte zwischen den Beteiligten neu auszutarieren und die Hoheit über die Situation zu gewinnen. Solche besonderen Situationen, in denen Symbolkonflikte zugleich Verfassungskonflikte waren, stehen im Zentrum des Buches. Sie machen deutlich, dass die Kultur des Alten Reiches eine Kultur des Zeigens und der persönlichen Präsenz war. Das machte sie allerdings im 18. Jahrhundert zunehmend zu einem Anachronismus. Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger durchmisst in ihrem glänzend geschriebenen Buch die Zeit vom Spätmittelalter bis zum Ende des Alten Reiches im Jahre 1806 und bietet erstmals anhand zahlreicher eindrucksvoller Beispiele Verfassungsgeschichte konsequent als Geschichte der symbolischen Formen und ihres Wandels.- Wie wurden Reichsfürsten belehnt? Wie verständigte man sich auf Reichstagen? Wie inszenierte der Kaiser seine Majestät? Wie demonstrierten die Kurfürsten ihre Privilegien, wie die Stände ihre Freiheiten? Und warum stritt man sich bei Krönungen, auf Reichsversammlungen und bei allen anderen feierlichen Anlässen, wo die Majestät des Reiches in Erscheinung trat? Was in den Grundgesetzen des Reiches festgelegt war, das war die eine Sache. Doch ob und in wieweit diese Regeln mit Leben erfüllt wurden, war eine ganz andere - es war eine Sache komplexen symbolisch-rituellen Handelns. Diesem Handeln lag eine politische Formensprache zugrunde, die alle Beteiligten beherrschten - gleichsam eine symbolische Grammatik und ein Grundwortschatz, die unverzichtbar waren, um sich immer aufs Neue über die Geltung der gemeinsamen Ordnung zu verständigen.-

Abstract

"The Racial Railroad argues the train has been a persistent and crucial site for racial meaning-making in American culture for the past 150 years. This book examines the complex intertwining of race and railroad in literary works, films, visual media, and songs from a variety of cultural traditions in order to highlight the surprisingly central role that the railroad has played - and continues to play - in the formation and perception of racial identity and difference in the United States. Despite the fact that the train has often been an instrument of violence and exclusion, this book shows that it is also ingrained in the imaginings of racialized communities, often appearing as a sign of resistance. The significance of this book is threefold. First, it is the only book that I'm aware of that examines the train multivalently: as a technology, as a mode of transportation, as a space that blurs the line between public and private, as a form of labor, and as a sign. Second, it takes a multiracial approach to cultural narratives concerning the railroad and racial identity, which bolsters my claim about the pervasiveness of the railroad in narratives of race. It signifies across all racial groups. The meaning of that signification may be radically different depending upon the community's own history, but it nevertheless means something. Finally, The Racial Railroad reveals the importance of place in discussions of race and racism. Focusing on the experiences of racialized bodies in relation to the train - which both creates and destroys places - secures a presence for those marginalized subjects. These authors use the train to reveal how race defines the spatial logics of the nation even as their bodies are often deliberately hidden or obscured from public view"--

Abstract

For many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This book argues that this was because the political and social order could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not the actual written laws, that formed a political language indispensable in maintaining the common order.
