Dimiter Daphinoff – författare

Der erste Band der Reihe "Erinnerungsräume", zu welchem Autorinnen und Autoren aus der Schweiz, Deutschland, Österreich, Dänemark, Polen und den USA beitragen, legt konzeptionelle und thematische Linien für künftige Bände der Reihe. Aus geschichts- und literaturwissenschaftlicher sowie soziologischer Perspektive setzt sich ein erster Teil des Bandes mit dem Umgang mit Zeit in der Erinnerungskonstruktion, mit der Verschränkung von Erfahrung, Zeitwahrnehmung und Zukunftsvorstellungen auseinander. Ein konkreter Fokus wird auf Zeitvorstellungen im fin de siècle liegen, wie sie etwa im Zukunftsroman und kulturpessimistischen Krisenwahrnehmungen hinsichtlich der Zukunft zum Ausdruck kommen. Die Beiträge des zweiten Teils widmen sich Dynamiken von Erinnerungsnarrativen in Literatur, Kunst und Fotographie, Geschichtsschreibung und öffentlicher Geschichtsvermittlung. Spezifische Werke gelangen dabei ebenso in den Blick wie Konflikte um Erinnerungsnarrative im öffentlichen Raum.

This volume explores how narratives and iconographic codes in literature, art, music, material culture and social, political, and economic discourses were appropriated and thereby – sometimes radically – transformed by religious agents, and how religious narrations, discourses and iconographic practices were reimagined and used (up to radical deconstruction) in non-religious contexts as well as in different or transformed religious contexts. Religious appropriation is thereby conceived as practice of memory, drawing on reused – and creating transformed – narrative and visual spaces of imagination. The dimension of memory will contribute to a more differentiated typology of practices of appropriation, their forms, functions and functionalisation. Agency and power relations will be important factors in the individual contributions of this trans-disciplinary volume that links approaches from memory studies, religious history, literary studies, and art history.
