La stratégie médiatique des feuilles volantes de Sebastian Brant
No full textInternational audienceDer misoneistische Autor des Narrenschiffes, der auf überholten Herrschaftsmodellen beharrt und sich besonders kritisch zu der frühneuzeitlichen « messen kunst » und « drucker gunst » äußert, leistet dennoch einen eigenen Beitrag zu diesenbeiden medialen Neuerungen. Die Untersuchung von Brants publizistischem Schaffen ermöglicht es, das gespaltene Verhältnis des elsässischen Humanisten zur Moderne zu erhellen.Es gelingt ihm etwa, die Novität des Mediums Einblattdruck voll auszunutzen, indem er dessen Potenz nicht nur für seine Zwecke einsetzt, sondern auch durch eine Gattungserweiterung und durch die leserfreundliche und publikumswirksameGestaltung des Layouts enorm verstärkt. Brant gab den ausschlaggebenden Impuls zur Entstehung der Wunderblätter und des satirischen Flugblatts.Anhand von vier exemplarischen Drucken, dem Meteor-Flugblatt von Ensisheim, den Wundergeburten von Worms und Straßburg und der politisch-satirischen Tierallegorie von der Fuchshatz wird gezeigt, wie der städtische Funktionsträgerdurch die Vereinnahmung des neuen Mediums dessen unkontrollierter Verbreitung entgegen zu arbeiten versucht und dabei eigene rhetorische und metaphorische Muster entwickelt.The neophobic author of the Ship of Fools, who adheres to outdated power structures and who is particularly critical of the early modern messen kunst and drucker gunst, nevertheless contributes to these two media innovations. The study of Brant’s media work makes it possible to reveal the ambivalent relationship of the Alsatian humanist to modernity.He succeeded, for example, in using the novelty of the medium of single-sheet prints not only to enhancing its potency for his own purposes, but also enormously reinforcing it by extending the genre and by designing the layout in a reader-friendlyand in an audience-effective manner. Brant gave the decisive impulse for the creation of the Wunderblätter and the satirical flyers.On the basis of four exemplary broadsheets, the meteorite of Ensisheim, the monstrous births of Worms and Strasbourg and the political-satirical animal allegory from the Fuchshatz, it will be shown how the urban functionary tries to prevent the uncontrolled dissemination of the new medium by appropriating its significance and thereby develops his own rhetorical and metaphorical patterns
Ich-Erzählen im Medium des Frühdrucks. Narrative und diskursive Strukturen in gedruckten deutschsprachigen Reimerzählungen um 1500 (Hans Folz, Sebastian Brant, Hans Sachs)
No full textMy paper presents three German poems from the late 15th/early 16th century that formally stand in the tradition of couple rhymed allegorical first-person narratives and thematically deal with the political conditions of their time. The three different authors represent two variants of a certain type of author belonging to the artisan class (Hans Folz, Hans Sachs in Nuremberg) or to the academically educated, bilingual (Latin/German) upper class (Sebastian Brant in Strasbourg) of the urban bourgeois culture. In both cases, they opened up early to the new medium of book printing. Consequently, the para-texts with which all three texts produced directly for print are equipped take on important functions within the new printing medium and the new practise of distance communication that develops from it, aiming above all at the staging of the respective authorship. The three selected case studies highlight the different literary and communicative strategies developed by each author under these auspices. What all three texts have in common, however, is a more or less sophisticated play with the two different discourse levels of the (fictional) narrator ego and the (real) author ego. Such a game is at the same time anchored in essential aspects within the socio-cultural environment of the authors and the respective specific literary culture. Thus, in the case of Hans Folz, as in the case of his successor Hans Sachs, the effort to adapt the handed-down medieval traditions and rhetoric models to the new conditions of vernacular communication visibly predominates. Differently, the concept of authorship claimed by Sebastian Brant is characterised by the effort to harmonise the function of the poet as orator and prophet, derived from the humanist tradition, with the instructional tasks fundamental to vernacular poetry.My paper presents three German poems from the late 15th/early 16th century that formally stand in the tradition of couple rhymed allegorical first-person narratives and thematically deal with the political conditions of their time.

“We Will Be Speakers”
No full textThohtharátye (Joe Brant) shares auto-ethnographic reflections that exemplify what it takes to create and maintain a Kanyen’kéha (Mohawk Language) speaking home. As adult second language learners of Kanyenkéha, the author and his partner Tewahséhtha, dedicated themselves to learning Kanyen’kéha and passing it on to their children as their first language. Overcoming issues of dialect extinction, resource availability and second language Kanyen’kéha speaking abilities, they persevered and succeeded by creating the first, first language Kanyen’kéha speakers in their community of Kahá:nayen (Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory) in over sixty years. Thohtharátye identifies three over-arching principles that are equal and interdependent in creating and maintaining a Kanyen’kéha speaking home: An Unwavering Loyalty to Kanyen’kéha; Reclaiming Domains of Kanyen’kéha Use; and Heeding to Natural Language Acquisition Processes. He presented his auto-ethnography narratives to Kanyen’kéha language stakeholders in three Kanyen’kehà:ka (Mohawk) communities. He summarized the presentations in an accompanying culminating video and has also completed the following report to share his research. The goal of his research is to exemplify best practices in Kanyen’kéha learning and inspire Kanyen’kéha learners to create and maintain Kanyen’kéha speaking homes.Graduat
