Innenräume in der Literatur des deutschen Mittelalters: 19. Anglo-deutsches Colloquium

by Burkhard / Schiewer Hasebrink (Editor)

The focus on inner space unites two topical areas of cultural space as a structural paradigm, and the focal differentiation between the categories of ""inner"" and ""outer"". The literature of medieval Germany, in staging such interior space in a variety of ways, poses questions about difference, liminality, and transgression, and thus allows abstract concepts and processes to be in a culture otherwise dominated by that which is present and visible, inner space conveys notions of psychological, cosmological or textual order.
