Ordnung und Transgression vormoderner Kulturen
Full text linkDer von Nora Schmidt, Nikolas Pissis und Gyburg Uhlmann herausgegebene Band widmet sich der Frage, wie Wissen zwischen verschiedenen Akteuren ausgetauscht wird: wie es den Besitzer wechselt, wie es einen Ort verlässt und von einer Zeit in eine andere wandert. Der Austausch von Wissen hat mit ökonomischen, technischen, materialen und wissenschaftlichen Prozessen zu tun, lässt sich aber auf keinen von ihnen reduzieren.
Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes arbeiten daher mit dem Konzept der Wissensoikonomien: Im Zentrum steht die Vielschichtigkeit der Beziehungsgeflechte und Austauschbeziehungen von Menschen und Materialien, Medien, sozialen Praktiken, Traditionen und Institutionen. Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass Transfer von Wissen sich in einer Vielzahl von Modalitäten und Geschwindigkeiten, unter sehr unterschiedlichen Bedingungen und teils über sprachliche, geographische und soziale, religiöse und andere identitätsspezifische Grenzen hinweg ereignet, geht das Konzept der Wissensoikonomien der Frage nach, wann solche Wissensbewegungen selbst systembildenden Charakter erhalten. Damit beschreiben Wissensoikonomien ein Spannungsfeld zwischen Ordnung und Transgression. In sechzehn einzelnen Fachbeiträgen werden komplexe Aushandlungsprozesse von Wissen in unterschiedlichen vormodernen Kulturen vom Alten Ägypten, über die verschiedenen antiken Kulturen des Mittelmeerraums, China und Korea bis in die Frühe Neuzeit aufgezeigt
Confessionalization and/as Knowledge Transfer in the Greek Orthodox Church
Full text linkThis volume examines the potential of the confessionalization concept for the purposes of a history of knowledge regarding the clerical milieus of the early modern Greek Orthodox Church. Its point of departure is an understanding of confessionalization processes as an epistemic challenge that opened up a field of inter-confessional communication. On the one hand, communication born out of this epistemic challenge – and Orthodoxy’s need to articulate novel, authoritative positions in order to respond – resulted in epistemic movements that shaped confessional boundaries, intellectual profiles and academic curricula. In this sense, confessionalization functioned as knowledge transfer. On the other hand, confessionalization may be perceived as the very context of an unfolding communication process that triggered knowledge mobility in a wide range of epistemic fields, beyond the strictly theological: confessionalization and knowledge transfer. The volume comprises studies on conflict, negotiation and modification of knowledge, on interpersonal networks and networks of books, on genres and discourses in motion, on materialities and medialities of knowledge transfer, on accommodation strategies and institution-building processes in the Greek Orthodox Church, and, last but not least, on fluent confessional identities and trans-confessional discourses in clerical milieus
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
“Some Minor Words” : The Debate on Symphonia at the Moscow Church Council of 1666/67
No full textAlthough principles were, as a rule, not a matter of debate in Muscovite political culture, experiences of crisis, such as the Smuta or the conflict between Patriarch Nikon and Tsar Aleksei Mikhailovich, did instigate pertinent fervent discussions on how the God-given order was best to be perceived and restored. This paper outlines the debate on the relationship between and the mutual dependency of secular and ecclesiastical power that erupted a ter Nikon’s ambiguous abdication in 1658 and culminated at the Moscow Church Council of 1666/67. It focuses on a crucial but somewhat enigmatic episode during the Council, when two Russian bishops, Metropolitan Pavel of Krutitsy and Bishop Ilarion of Riazan, protested against the formulation included in the Tomos of the four Eastern patriarchs (1663) concerning the primacy of the emperor. Their objection led to the Council issuing a revised statement, reformulating the classical notion of symphonia (the emperor is responsible for political matters, the patriarch for spiritual ones), although the two prelates had to face disciplinary sanctions. The paper draws mainly on the writings of the debate’s main protagonist, the infamous Metropolitan of Gaza, Paisios Ligaridis, in order to clarify what we may reasonably deduce from the account of the self-righteous Greek prelate and certain further evidence concerning, on the one hand, the protagonists’ motives, and on the other, the whole episode’s actual significance
