Text, Performance, and the Production of Religious Knowledge:The Protestant Passion Play and the Catholic Saint Play
Full text linkThe article by Claudia Daiber and Elke Huwiler examines two specific types of theatre plays of the German-speaking theatre history of the Late Medieval and Early Modern period: The Passion Play and the Saint Play. In general, German-speaking theatre of the 16th and 17th century was characterized by the Reformation and Counter Reformation movements, and performances of theatre plays were, amongst other things, meant to spread religious beliefs and to show citizens the 'right' way to believe and to behave. Also, performance practices as such were influenced by these movements: on the one hand, Reformation theatre rolled back the aspect of seeing, thus spectacle; on the other, the Counter Reformation tried to uphold the traditions of the 'old' faith, an effort which is seen in the staging of Saint Plays, rejecting by their very nature the solus Christus dictum of the Protestant faith but also upholding pre-reformatory performance practices. The drama texts analysed in the article show the reaction of theatre to socio-religious developments by enacting specific content and performative features and hereby shaping the history of Christendom as well as theatre history

Homonoia - Concorda - Sammanasya
No full textAnalysis of the divine figures of Homónoia in the Greek pantheon, Concordia in the Roman pantheon, and Sammanasya in the Vedic pantheon. Claudia Santi is the author of Homónoia; Andrzej Gillmeister is the author of Concordia; Antonio Salvati is the author of Sammanasya. As regards Homónoia, the origin of this personified abstraction seems to be traced back to the political debate of Athens in the last 5th century. Maybe it was created by Antiphon as opposed to stásis, both in the meaning of ‘psychic conflict’ and ‘internal political dissensions, civil war’

Rezension zu: Gabriela Signori: Von der Paradiesehe zur Gütergemeinschaft. Die Ehe in der mittelalterlichen Lebens- und Vorstellungswelt.: Das Institut der Ehe im Mittelalter
No full textBased on archival research of city culture within the Old Swiss Federation at the end of the Late Middle Ages, the author examines which legal constructions have been used in order to organize marriages. The observation is that documented marriage arrangements in the first place reflect the economic interests of the involved families and only in the last place that of the spouses concerned. Although this finding is not that unexpected, it renders further findings of even greater interest such as the functioning of the oral and the written culture alongside each other and the position of women within this process
