Die Antike und ihre Rezeption wurden bisher weitgehend in den Grenzen von Fachdisziplinen erforscht. In der Reihe Transformationen der Antike steht dagegen die interdisziplinäre Kontextualisierung der produktiven Transformationen antiker Wissenschaften und Künste im Vordergrund. Dargestellt wird der langwellige, von der Spätantike bis zur Moderne reichende Prozess der Herausbildung des Wissenschaftssystems der Kunstgattungen und der kulturellen Selbstkonstruktion der europäischen Gesellschaften. Die Reihe geht hervor aus dem Sonderforschungsbereich „Transformationen der Antike“ und dem „August Boeckh-Antikezentrum“ an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Ihre Projekte untersuchen Transformationsprozesse insbesondere auf drei Ebenen: die konstitutiven Funktionen der Antike bei der Ausbildung der europäischen Wissenschaftsgesellschaft und ihrer Disziplinen; die Rolle der Antike bei der Entstehung mittelalterlicher, neuzeitlicher und moderner kultureller Identitäten; sowie die künstlerischen, literarischen, übersetzerischen und medialen Formen von Rezeption und Transformation.
For a long time studies on northern antiquarianism have focused on individual nations. This volume introduces this phenomenon in a transnational perspective. In the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, the Baltic Sea was at the centre of a culture of debate, whose networks encompassed numerous European centres of learning. When the countries around the Baltic began to explore their own antiquities in this period, the prevailing climate of competition between Sweden, Denmark, Russia and the German countries soon permeated the construction and presentation of their own pasts. Exploring the ancient literatures and monuments of Iceland, Sweden or Denmark, studying runic writings or the Sami tradition, the northern scholars were establishing an individual architecture of history, and so extending the horizon of their emerging nations both geographically and historically. The contributions in this volume provide case studies illustrating the role that scholarship, art and literature played in establishing and maintaining national claims around the Baltic Sea. The variety of methods combined for this purpose makes this book of interest to intellectual historians as well as historians of art and early modern science.
