Die Zeitlichkeit von Kultur bildet eine grundsätzliche Prämisse empirisch-kulturwissenschaftlicher Forschung. Kultur verändert sich innerhalb der Zeit und strukturiert gleichzeitig Vorstellungen von Temporalität. Die Speicherung von Wissen und Traditionen über längere oder kürzere Zeiträume formiert kulturelle Identitäten und sorgt für eine permanente Dynamik von Kultur. Dies ermöglicht eine kulturelle Positionierung des Menschen gegenüber Vergangenheit und Zukunft sowie laufenden gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen. Der vorliegende Band bündelt die Beiträge des 43. Kongresses der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Empirische Kulturwissenschaft (DGEKW), der im April 2022 an der Universität Regensburg stattfand. Er versucht, eine tiefere Auseinandersetzung mit Zeit als prinzipieller Kategorie in der Formierung und Erforschung gegenwärtiger und historischer Kulturen anzuregen.
Was soll das denn? Eine Uhr, die rückwärts läuft, „ein Qu adratmeter Freistaat Bayern“ als Handtuch, eine bayerische Ehrenweißwurst als Auszeichnung, T-Shirts mit Bekenntnissen, wie „Ich bin gegen alles“ oder „Ich ertrage nur das Glück“ oder ein Globus, der allein Bayern zeigt. Dazu die berühmtesten KarikaturistInnen und Satire-KünstlerInnen der Epoche wie Loriot, Janosch, Ungerer, Sempé oder Flora vereint in einer Wunderkammer. Im Jahr der Studentenbewegung, 1968, hatten Helmut und Meisi Grill die Idee „den Wahnsinn“ auszustellen. Sie gründeten den Souvenir- und Kuriositätenladen namens „Etcetera“, der auch „Spezialitätenladen“ oder „Anti-Supermarkt“ g...
„Das ist halt da. Das gehört dazu, das gehört zu mir, das gehört in dem Moment zum Tagesablauf“ (Zoe: 119). Menstruieren ist Alltagspraxis und wird zugleich oft unsichtbar gemacht. Auch kultur- und sozialwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen zum Thema fehlen weitgehend. Doch welche Praktiken sind mit der Menstruation verbunden und wie schreiben sich dabei gesellschaftliche Normen in Körper und Selbstwahrnehmungen ein? Diesen Fragen geht Tabea Stirenberg auf der Grundlage von qualitativen Interviews mit menstruierenden cis Frauen nach. Dabei rückt sie periodenspezifische Alltagspraktiken, wie vestimentäre Praktiken, den Umgang mit Periodenprodukten und Kommunikationsstrategien ins ...

While most scholars focus on the character of Cornelius as a model Gentile, Bonnie Flessen argues that Cornelius is also a model male figure for Luke's audience. When analyzed closely, the characterization of Cornelius reveals a multifaceted rhetorical strategy regarding both gender and empire. This strategy lifts up a rather surprising portrait of an exemplary man who represents the Roman Empire and yet nevertheless manifests the virtues of submission, piety, and generosity. Flessen also proposes a hermeneutic of masculinity as a means to exegete Acts and other New Testament texts. This critical lens provides interpreters with a way of thinking about gender when female characters are absent or sparse. Although constructs of gender are embedded in texts, interpreters can use recent scholarship on masculinity along with extrabiblical evidence as tools to excavate the contours of the male figure in antiquity.
