dc.description.abstract
The Research Group E-I investigates artistic forms of the transmission of
knowledge concerning spaces of antiquity. In this respect long-term chains of
transformative processes are to be observed through which the
interrelationships between space and knowledge established in antiquity have
been altered by historical agents through specific epistemic and medial
claims. The aim is twofold: to analyze these knowledge-based processes of
transformation in precise areas of investigation on a reliable material basis
on the one hand; on the other to formulate relevant statements concerning the
history of the transformation of space and knowledge through the consolidation
of research results. For this reason, the research group takes up the all-
encompassing topic of the artistic transmission of knowledge about space in
the post-classical era in the context of the following precisely formulated
contoured topic areas: (1) spoliation and transposition, (2) travels through
spaces of antiquity, (3) the fictionalization and resemanticization of antique
spaces in epics and novels of the Middle Ages and early modern period, (4)
concepts and semanticizations of the Beyond in the Middle Ages and early
modern period. Interdisciplinary research into the processes of formation and
transformation of the interrelationships between space and knowledge in
antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern period, however, calls for an
integrative and sufficiently elastic concept, albeit one that is by no means
arbitrary and which serves as a methodological foundation while remaining
receptive to procedures of abstraction as well as of concretization, and which
is adaptable to the participating disciplines. As for our research group, the
concept of space as an area of movement has a heuristic function; it has
proven to be an especially stable concept because the term space of movement
pictures the dynamism of the concept of space which is applied by the group.
We conceive of space as being generated performatively on a variety of levels
through actions, perceptions, language, etc. In accordance with this
emphatically dynamic conception, the term space of movement also clarifies the
irreducible processual quality of formation and transformation. The concept of
a space of movement remains open; it is not bound to the ontological status of
the object, nor is it restricted to specific disciplinary methodologies; it
implies nothing normative, but serves instead as an exclusively heuristic
concept. The application of the concept of the space of movement leads toward
a multiplicity of concrete individual results, particularly in the framework
of the qualifying projects; moreover, it has proven possible to provide
research on spoliation with a new perspective, to differentiate concepts of
space in literature in historical terms, and to criticize cartographic
procedures in the framework of scientific reconstructions.
