Die Reformation war nicht so harmlos und bunt, wie sich das mit größerem zeitlichen Abstand darstellen mag, und sie war nicht so abwegig oder langweilig, dass man sich heute nicht mehr damit auseinandersetzen müsste. Dieser Band geht der Vielfalt und Größe, aber auch der Gefährlichkeit und Gewagtheit der Reformation nach, um ein tieferes Verständnis dieses fundamentalen Vorgangs in der Geschichte zu eröffnen. Die Gelegenheit der großen Rückschau aus Anlass des Thesenanschlags von 1517 thematisiert nicht die lutherische Reformation alleine, sondern sie beleuchtet zahlreiche Aspekte in ihrem zeitgenössischen Umfeld. Erfolg und Scheitern, Sprache und Personen, Kunst und Recht, Ethik und Pädagogik - diese Aspekte werden in einen breiteren Rahmen gespannt, der von der Renaissance bis in das Zeitalter der Amerikanischen und Französischen Revolutionen, der Russischen und der digitalen Revolution reicht, oder - invers - "zwischen Revolution und Renaissance".

Die Reformation zwischen Revolution und Renaissance

Christoph Flamm

The political changes at the end of the last century in the Soviet Union, and later the Russian Federation, had deep-reaching repercussions on the interpretation of Russian culture in the time of division between “Russia Abroad” and “Russia at Home”. Ever since, scholars have tried to understand and to describe the interrelationship between the two Russias. In spite of intensive research, numerous conferences and publications, there are still many discoveries to be made and a number of questions to be answered. This volume presents a selection of articles based on papers presented at an international conference on Russian émigré culture that was held at Saarland University, Germany, in 2015. The essays assembled here offer new insights into aspects of Russian émigré culture already known to scholarship, but also to explore new facets of it. As such, it is not the well-known centres and leading figures of Russian emigration that are highlighted; instead the authors give prominence to places of seemingly secondary importance such as Prague, Istanbul or India and to such lesser-known aspects as collections and collectors of Russian émigré art and the impact of cultural activities of the Russian emigration on the culture of the respective host countries.

Transcending the Borders of Countries, Languages, and Disciplines in Russian Émigré Culture

Martina Ghosh-Schellhorn

Games form an integral part of life and the rules that determine how they are to be played provide us with rich insights into the specific nature of cultures. Comprising theoretical, philosophical, and legal discussions, the contexts of game playing are comprehensively examined in essays which range widely through time and space. In focussing on the topic of game playing this volume of essays - which stems from a Transcultura symposium on the transcultural key-concept of "the rules of the game" - engages in a fresh way with the field of sports as a unique and yet shared cultural phenomenon.
