Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2000 - 31/12/2011 | 3rd Funding period
Description
The theatre of the late Middle Ages and Early Modern Times is a paradigmatic stage and aesthetic medium of symbolic communication. In accordance with the general subject of the collaborative research centre (SFB 496), the main focus is on the perceptions of values and systems of order as presented in drama, as far as these are mediated through forms of symbolic presentation, that is, through allegory and metaphors in the texts; through the objects, actions, and characters visible on the stage; and, finally, through the very subject matter and staging of the plays.
Keywords: Theater; Spätmittelalter; frühe Neuzeit
