Einladung zum Vortrag am 26.05. um 18:00 Uhr c. t. im Seminarraum 510 in der Zentnerstr. 31

The Netherlandish Carved Altarpiece in the Church of St. Reinoldi in Dortmund and the Rise of an Artistic Medium.

Ethan Matt Kavaler, University of Toronto

The carved and painted altarpieces from the Netherlands were among the most desired art objects of the late Middle Ages. Although these arose no earlier than the final decades of the fourteenth century, they soon became must-have acquisitions for churches and chapels throughout Europe. I focus on the Flemish altarpiece of about 1415 in the St. Reinoldi Church in Dortmund, its original location. In its affective gestures, its mimetic portrayal of different materials, its illusion of depth, and its sophisticated microarchitecture, it established conventions that would later be adopted by sculptors and painters of the middle of the fifteenth century like Rogier van der Weyden. Significantly this work was produced in Bruges rather than Brussels, a subsequent site of much altarpiece creation. Although the Reinoldi altarpiece has often been linked to the refined court art of Paris, its painting is more closely related to that of the Lower Rhine and Westphalia. This should not be surprising, since Bruges and Dortmund were both hubs on the Hanseatic trade route.

Vorstand Gesellschaft der Freunde Islamischer Kunst und Kultur: Vortragsankündigung

Prof. Ludwig Paul, Hamburg: Persisch als Lingua franca :Methoden und Perspektiven

Das Persische als Lingua franca der östlichen Islamischen Welt vom 11.-19. Jahrhundert wird verstärkt seit Fragners Essay Persophonie (1999) vor allem aus historischer Perspektive diskutiert und hat in den letzten zehn Jahren durch wichtige Studien wie Greens Persianate World (2019) und durch die Einbeziehung in den „Kospomolitanismus“- Diskurs breitere Kreise gezogen. Es fehlt immer noch eine ganzheitliche, auch linguistische Aspekte mit einbeziehender Perspektive, die in Bezug auf die Definition von „Lingua franca“ methodisch auf der Höhe der Zeit ist. Der Vortrag versucht, dies zu leisten und auch grundlegende historische Fragen neu zu diskutieren und zu bewerten wie: Warum und wie konnte das Persische die Islamisierung Irans überleben? Warum und wie hat es sich über einen so großen Raum ausgebreitet und wurde so lange als Lingua franca verwendet?
