FOCUS

The supplementary course and the specialization provide students with scientifically sound and application-oriented knowledge of interdisciplinary medieval and early modern research and introduce them to the approaches of digital humanities. The subject area covers medieval and early modern history, culture, art, literature and language as well as their fascination and unbroken history of impact up to the present day (be it in the form of art treasures, literary works, forms of thought, historical materials or in the form of architectural monuments such as castles). Digital approaches and the use of data, tools and best practices from the digital humanities are part of the study supplement. They offer a contemporary education that can be fruitfully applied professionally in university and non-university research, in archives, libraries and museums.

You can find the current range of courses for the supplementary course “Interdisciplinary Studies of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period with a Focus on Digital Humanities” here or on our website under Winter semester 2023 / Summer semester 2024 (PLUSonline).

SUBJECT AREA, EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES AND APPLICATION-ORIENTED SKILLS

The subject areas are in the history, culture, religion, philosophy, languages, literatures and arts of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Theoretically and methodically, processes of intercultural transfer, interliterary, interlinguistic and linguistic-historical phenomena (e.g. between Latin and the vernacular languages, in the development of vernacular literatures), media and material conditions of medieval and early modern art and cultural production (e.g. Interactions between text and image, manuscripts as multimedia artifacts, media-historical “revolutions” such as the transition from manuscript to print), the phenomenality, functionality and semiotics of works of art (from paintings and sculptures to castles and cathedrals), but also socio-political and socio-cultural practices and forms of interaction (e.g. rituals, rituality). Methodologically and theoretically, comparative, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches will be utilized; a particular focus will be on approaches from the digital humanities.

Introductory courses on history and culture, digital humanities, specific working methods of the historical, philological and art studies disciplines of medieval and early modern studies, as well as the history and culture of the digital humanities provide the basis for a competent, academically oriented examination.
