Purimspiel und Fastnachtspiel

The Studia Augustana provide a forum for literary and intermedial research. The series focuses on the intersection between the late Middle Ages, the early modern period and early modernity, periods which correspond to the cultural-historical significance of Augsburg. As the site of the Religious Peace of 1555, the city offers an ideal, exemplary setting for communication processes of all kinds. In this series, the exchange between the cultures and denominations of the West and the East, from Spain to Byzantium, from South America to Russia, is examined from an interdisciplinary perspective.
