3. Persons, the ‘Autobiographical Person’ and Cultural Concepts of the Person

Author

Abstract

Autobiographical texts have long been seen, from a micro-level perspective, as evidence of the ‘individuality’ of the writer, and, from a macro-level perspective, as evidence of the long-term historical development of European or Western individual-oriented society. However, recent research has undertaken to deconstruct this notion, suggesting that ‘Western’ texts are as deeply embedded in a social world and in social-oriented perspectives as those from other world regions. The individualised person is now recognised as just one among many concepts of the person. This article summarises the research that has been conducted during the past two decades on early modern autobiographical writings, primarily from German-speaking areas of the world. It closely examines the interplay between individual and society in one particular autobiography, that of the Zurich professor of Old Testament Studies Konrad Pellikan (1478–1556). Using the concept of the ‘autobiographical person’, it shows his work to be typical of the autobiographies written by one social group—early modern scholars. By comparing this Christian male scholar with his Jewish and Muslim colleagues, the article aims to attain a transcultural, gendered perspective on autobiography. In an attempt to reach some methodological and theoretical conclusions, a set of analytical tools is proposed to distinguish between the perspectives of authors and of later scholars, and also between (a) real persons and their personhood, (b) ‘autobiographical persons’ and (c) cultural concepts of ‘person’. In this way, the ‘person’ is taken into account by scholars as an analytical category, as well as being a set of real-life practices and conceptual notions used by actors in various social, cultural and historical settings.

4. Die Ökonomie sozialer Beziehungen : Ressourcenbewirtschaftung als Geben, Nehmen, Investieren, Verschwenden, Haushalten, Horten, Vererben, Schulden

Author

Gabriele Jancke, Daniel Schläppi, Gabriele Jancke, and Daniel Schläppi

Abstract

Drei zentrale Merkmale charakterisierten den Umgang frühneuzeitlicher Gesellschaften mit Ressourcen: Erstens hatten kollektive Ressourcen bzw. Gemeinbesitz und dessen Bewirtschaftung zum'gemeinen Nutzen'große Bedeutung. Zweitens waren neben materiellen auch immaterielle Ressourcen Gegenstand sozialer Techniken des Transfers, der Bewertung und der Konvertierung. Drittens spielten Ressourcen in sozialen Beziehungen eine zentrale Rolle. Daraus ergeben sich eine Fülle von Fragen: Wie wurden verschiedene Arten von Gütern, materielle wie immaterielle, gegeneinander verrechnet? Welchen ökonomischen Regeln gehorchten soziale Beziehungen? Welche Rolle spielten Ressourcen in Beziehungen? Inwiefern waren Ressourcen in ihrer Wahrnehmung und im Umgang an konkrete soziale Beziehungen gebunden, können also nicht als beziehungsfreie Größen konzipiert werden? Was bedeutet es für ein ökonomisches Modell, wenn auch immaterielle Ressourcen wie Loyalität oder Ehre ins Kalkül einbezogen werden? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes gehen diesen Fragen an konkreten Fallbeispielen nach, reflektieren theoretische und konzeptionelle Aspekte und entfalten dabei eine'Ökonomie sozialer Beziehungen'.

7. Verflochtene Geschichte(n) : Ausgewählte Aufsätze zu Geschlecht, Macht und Religion in der Frühen Neuzeit

Author

Claudia Ulbrich, Andrea Griesebner, Annekathrin Helbig, Michaela Hohkamp, Gabriele Jancke, Claudia Jarzebowski, Sebastian Kühn, Claudia Ulbrich, Andrea Griesebner, Annekathrin Helbig, Michaela Hohkamp, Gabriele Jancke, Claudia Jarzebowski, and Sebastian Kühn

Abstract

Der Titel Verflochtene Geschichte(n) verweist auf die Verwobenheit der historischen Lebenswelten wie der historiografischen Kategorien. Diese relationale Geschichtsschreibung verabschiedet die großen Erzählungen zugunsten des scheinbar Partikularen. Statt vermeintlicher Homogenität lenkt die Autorin den Blick auf die Pluralität und Konflikthaftigkeit frühneuzeitlicher Gesellschaften. Die von ihr untersuchten Frauen und Männer, oft Angehörige ländlicher Bevölkerung, werden als selbstbewusst handelnde Subjekte ihrer eigenen Geschichte(n) sichtbar.

10. 6 Autobiographical Texts: Acting within a Network: Observations on Genre and Power Relations in the German-Speaking Regions from 1400 to 1620

Abstract

While the twentieth-century scholar of autobiography presumes its possibility without question and interprets autobiographies as formulations of self-knowledge, the Protestant theologian of the sixteenth century is fundamentally sceptical about the possibility of self-knowledge. Autobiographical texts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries quite clearly indicate that the authors see themselves as depicting and depicted "I"s anchored in a network of social relations, and that they understand their autobiographical texts as a particular communicative action within this network of relations. The sources on which this chapter bases its study are some 200 autobiographical texts from the German-speaking regions, that is, including Switzerland, written during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Most of them are written in German, although some are in Latin and one in Hebrew. The question of relational networks raises the subject of power relations in which the respective author, whether male or female, moves. Keywords: autobiography; German-speaking regions; power relations; self-knowledge; social relations; Switzerland

11. 1 From the Individual to the Person: Challenging Autobiography Theory

Abstract

The history of the discovery of the individual is one of the master narratives of Western modernity, although in the course of globalization this narrative has increasingly been put into question. Up to now, numerous literary and historiographical studies have presumed that the development of individuality, autobiographical writing and so-called Western culture are closely intertwined. Studies of self-narratives in non-European societies repeatedly draw on a paradigm that correlates individuality with autobiographical writing, a paradigm which then acts as a measure for assessing autobiographical writing in these societies. In numerous studies, researchers have concentrated on autobiography as a genre or on a particular group of people, such as scholars. The humanities disciplines usually consider this century to be a point of reference for the study of autobiography. The individual who writes about her/himself is not a decontextualized abstraction but a concrete person in a particular situation. Keywords: autobiography theory; humanities disciplines; non-European societies; self-narratives; Western modernity
