Schriftträger oder auch Textträger verkörpern den Zusammenhang zwischen Schrift tragenden Artefakten und kulturellen Praktiken. Sie handeln an, mit und infolge von Geschriebenem, indem sie Artefakte mit Sequenzen sprachlicher Zeichen verbinden. Der Band möchte neue interpretative Ansätze im Umgang mit ‚Schriftzeugnissen‘ vergangener Kulturen erproben. Die hier ausgewählten Studien zu verschiedenen Textträgern sollen einen Beitrag zur Entschlüsselung der rezeptionspraktischen ‚Text-Akteur-Relationen‘ leisten. Gefragt wird nach dem Verhältnis zwischen Text und seinen materiellen Trägern, nach dem Einfluss der Textträger nicht in erster Linie auf den Inhalt, sondern auf den Gebrauch der Texte. In welcher Weise bestimmt die Materialität eines Textes seine Rezeption und Wahrnehmung? Verändert der Gebrauch eines Texts seinen Träger? Verändert die Materialität des Trägers den Text? Bringen Textträger eigene Textpraktiken hervor? Untersucht werden Artefakte wie Scherben, Rotuli, Bücher, Haut, Grabsteine, Fluchtafeln, Buchamulette, Vasen, Felsen, tote und lebendige Körper, Wände, Rinden usw.
