MUSEUM GESTALTET GESCHICHTE
2023 feiert das Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum die 200-jährige Gründung. Von engagierten Kulturtreibenden Tirols initiiert, prägt das Ferdinandeum als zweitältestes Landesmuseum Österreichs mit seinen Sammlungen, Ausstellungen und wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten die Region. Im selben Jahr begeht das Museum im Zeughaus, das 1973 als Ausstellungshaus für Geschichte des Tiroler Raums dazu kam, sein 50-jähriges Bestandsjubiläum. Der vorliegende Band vereint Beiträge der Mitarbeiter*innen des Museums und externer Autor*innen, die sich mit unterschiedlichen Aspekten der Geschichte, der Sammlungsarbeit und der Konzert- und Ausstellungstätigkeit befassen. So wird ein Bogen von der Gründung des Museums Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Gegenwart gespannt, die vielfältige Tätigkeit und Wirkung des Museums eindrücklich dargestellt und das Museum in seiner vergangenen und gegenwärtigen Bedeutung gewürdigt.

Poetics and Politics
Far from teleological historiography, the pan-European perspective on Early Modern drama offered in this volume provides answers to why, how, where and when the given phenomena of theatre appear in history. Using theories of circulation and other concepts of exchange, transfer and movement, the authors analyze the development and differentiation of European secular and religious drama, within the disciplinary framework of comparative literature and the history of literature and concepts. Within this frame, aspects of major interest are the relationship between tradition and innovation, the status of genre, the proportion of autonomous and heteronomous creational dispositions within the artef...
The Last Knight
Maximilian I (1459–1519) skillfully crafted a public persona and personal mythology that eventually earned him the romantic sobriquet “Last Knight.” From the time he became duke of Burgundy at the age of eighteen until his death, his passion for the trappings and ideals of knighthood served his worldly ambitions, imaginative strategies, and resolute efforts to forge a legacy. A master of self-promotion, he ordered exceptional armor from the most celebrated armorers in Europe, as well as heroic autobiographical epics and lavish designs for prints. Indeed, Maximilian’s quest to secure his memory and expand his sphere of influence, despite chronic shortages of funds that left many of his most ambitious projects unfinished, was indomitable. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Maximilian’s death, this catalogue is the first to examine the masterworks that he commissioned, revealing how art and armor contributed to the construction of Maximilian’s identity and aspirations, and to the politics of Europe at the dawn of the Renaissance. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
History and Drama
Aristotle’s neat compartmentalization notwithstanding (Poetics, ch. 9), historians and playwrights have both been laying claim to representations of the past – arguably since Antiquity, but certainly since the Renaissance. At a time when narratology challenges historiographers to differentiate their “emplotments” (White) from literary inventions, this thirteen-essay collection takes a fresh look at the production of historico-political knowledge in literature and the intricacies of reality and fiction. Written by experts who teach in Germany, Austria, Russia, and the United States, the articles provide a thorough interpretation of early modern drama (with a view to classical times and the 19th century) as an ideological platform that is as open to royal self-fashioning and soteriology as it is to travestying and subverting the means and ends of historical interpretation. The comparative analysis of metapoetic and historiosophic aspects also sheds light on drama as a transnational phenomenon, demonstrating the importance of the cultural net that links the multifaceted textual examples from France, Russia, England, Italy, and the Netherlands.
