Textualität, Medialität, Performativität

Textuality, mediality, and performativity are central parameters in the exploration of medieval poetry. This volume unites them as measures of “aesthetic energy,” building on a term coined by Annette Gerok-Reiter to mark her 60th birthday. In nuanced analyses, Susanne Köbele, Almut Suerbaum, Franz-Josef Holznagel, and Alexander Rudolph / Tristan Marquardt inquire into the aesthetic energy of medieval poetry.
