Alles klar! Nehmen wir alles auf. Im Wesentlichen muss sich eben immer jemand finden, die solche Projekte in nützlicher Frist ins Werk setzen können und wollen. Übrigens: Heike Sahms Heliand-Ausgabe kann hoffentlich 2027 erscheinen.

Vielen Dank für die schöne Anregung! Geben wir sehr gerne weiter.

Image of the book cover of Sadomasochistic Beowulf. Next to the cover, there is a box of text reading: "The project explores a field of queer pleasures associated with the dispersal of the self, the extinguishing of the ego, the submission to a more dominant psyche, the postponement of jouissance, and with what Volker Woltersdorff calls “masochistic self-shattering.” The book covers a range of Old English texts from heroic verse narratives to the prose texts of devotional and penitential anthologies and relates these to the poem Beowulf."

Image of the cover of the book "Multivocality and Responsiveness. Medieval Literature in Dialogue. Next to the book cover is text that reads: "At the intersection between the Anglophone and the German sphere with their individual and distinctly different academic environments, Almut Suerbaum's oeuvre has bridged these worlds. This volume brings together some of her influential works, and in addition provides the space for colleagues and friends to embed individual contributions within wider frameworks of scholarship."

Image of the book cover of Narratives of Working Women in Early Modern London. Next to the book cover is text that reads: Gendering London: Narratives of Working Women in Early Modern Drama and Culture investigates depictions of non-elite, working women in relation to London neighborhoods and sites in early modern drama and culture, revealing how gendered place associations become culturally fortified to reinforce unjust social and economic conditions.

Image of the cover of the book Carthusian Monasticism: History, Life, World, Texts. Next to the book cover is text that reads: “As a multi-pronged and interdisciplinary study, this volume offers a comprehensive, yet nuanced re-examination of the Carthusian way of life: one that often challenges long-standing assumptions about the Carthusians and their place within Western Christianity and civilization. The breadth and depth of this volume will appeal not only to the seasoned scholar and graduate students, but also to newcomers to the field.”

Visual reading: „Eine Gesellschaft, die sich selbst ernst nimmt und als fortschrittlich und progressiv wahrnimmt, braucht [die Geisteswissenschaften] und es wäre toll, wenn diese auf eine interessante, faszinierende und mitreißende Art kommuniziert werden – und zwar nicht nur an Kolleginnen und Kollegen." Johannes Franzen

Visual reading: „Ein gutes Verhältnis wäre richtig – ein Verhältnis, dass die Forderung nach Öffentlichkeit nicht als feindselige Anmaßung empfindet, aber auch nicht als eine Forderung, der sich alle beugen müssen.“ Johannes Franzen

In today's age of constant crises, the #humanities are increasingly under pressure. Do we still need them at all? And if so, why do many humanities scholars struggle to present their #research to the public both confidently and persuasively?

A book cover that reads "Conceiving Heroic Christianity in Early Medieval England" with the author's name, "David G. Pedersen" above the title on a brown background featuring a black-eyed susan. To the left is a title card that reads "Coming soon."

Text on a brown floral background that reads: "Unlike much of early medieval Europe, the early English converted to Christianity through missional efforts, not martial conquest. Thus early English converts had freedom to construct their Christian identity, producing a religious subjectivity that differed from the Latinate perspective of the missionaries who converted them. This book investigates lay texts to undermine monolithic conceptions of medieval Christianity by revealing a uniquely English religious subjectivity evident in Old English wisdom literature."

Coming this summer from MIP's Christianities Before Modernity series, "Conceiving Heroic Christianity in Early Medieval England" by David G. Pedersen!

Stone memorial to the saint in St Mary's Churchyard, Whitby, showing Cædmon clutching a lyre as an angel touches it.

Feb 11: Feast of Cædmon (†680), monk of Streanæshalch (Whitby). Cowherd who, in his advanced years, was divinely endowed with a gift for poetry and song. Bede says the scriptures were interpreted for him and he would create religious compositions beyond compare. #medievalsky
