Description

English summary: This volume examines the polycentric structure of Europe, its heterogeneous cultural and linguistic areas and its demarcation and exclusionist tendencies. Contributions discuss the trouble spots of cultural encounters: cities and states, social spaces (courts and saloons), and religious spaces. They take into account international cultural exchange through the military forces and science transfer as well as the significance of the epic genre and the novel as sources of identity. Other contributions discuss national demarcation tendencies and the prestige mentality of rulers as well as the contempt for the peripheral countries and cultural exclusion of the savages of Europe (Corsicans, Sardinians, Sami) expressed in different media (song, architecture, the fine arts). One important dimension for establishing a modern European identity, lastly, is the interaction with America, which, though still unknown at the time, was seen as a promising land of encounter where Europeans would also redefine themselves. German description: Dieser Band stellt die polyzentrische Struktur Europas mit ihren heterogenen Kultur- und Sprachraumen, ihren Tendenzen zur Integration und Ab- bzw. Ausgrenzung auf den Prufstand. Seine Beitrage behandeln Brennpunkte kultureller Begegnungen: Stadte und Staaten, gesellschaftliche (Hof und Salon) sowie religiose Raume. Sie berucksichtigen den internationalen Kulturaustausch auf der Ebene des Militars und den Wissenschaftstransfer ebenso wie die identitatsstiftende Bedeutung der Gattungen Epos und Roman. Andere Beitrage reflektieren Tendenzen der nationalen Abgrenzung und des Prestigedenkens von Herrschern sowie die Missachtung der Rander mit der kulturellen Ausgrenzung der Wilden Europas (Korsen, Sarden, Lappen), die in verschiedenen Medien (Lied, Architektur, Kunst) Ausdruck findet. Zur Identitatsfindung des modernen Europa gehort schliesslich die Wechselwirkung mit dem noch unbekannten Amerika als einem zukunftstrachtigen Begegnungsraum, uber den sich auch die Europaer neu definieren.
