  abstract  = {Research communication has been gaining public attention in recent years. Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative projects with cities, schools, adult education centres, museums, and other educational institutions show that knowledge about the Middle Ages has been trans-mitted to interested laypersons for a long time. The authors see a particular challenge in the alterity of medieval culture, which at the same time provides an excellent opportunity for transferring research findings into society. The fascination with medieval materiality facilitates the transfer of knowledge by those disciplines that work with concrete objects, addressing issues of visuality and aesthetic experience. The article pinpoints conditions, strategies, and perspectives of successful research communication in medieval studies, and when focussing on cur-rent topics, the authors refer to concrete occasions and regional examples, showing why medieval research is still relevant today.},

  abstract  = {{\"U}bersetzungen sind Teil der Geschlechtergeschichte. An fr{\"u}hneuzeitlichen Antiken{\"u}bersetzungen l{\"a}sst sich nicht nur ablesen, welche Beitr{\"a}ge M{\"a}nner und Frauen bei der Erschließung und Vermehrung von Wissen leisten konnten. Vielmehr zeigen {\"U}bersetzungen auch, wie Geschlechtskonzepte neu konfiguriert und an die Ideale der Zielkultur angepasst werden. In diesem Aufsatz wird am Beispiel der Mythen von Europa und Alkyone untersucht, wie sich in Johannes Sprengs deutscher ‚Metamorphosen'-{\"U}bersetzung genderspezifische Machtrelationen verschieben. Durch eine vergleichende Analyse legt die Autorin offen, mit welchen sprachlichen und literarischen Techniken Ovids Heroinen in fr{\"u}hneuzeitliche Hausfrauen verwandelt werden. Abschreckung und Idealisierung sind zentrale Deutungsstrategien, um den Kultur- und Ideologietransfer von der Antike zur Fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit zu bew{\"a}ltigen und genderspezifische Normen zu vermitteln.},

  abstract  = {Fertility was a key theme of medieval rulership. To conceive and give birth to sons - and thus to ensure the succession to the throne - was one of the foremost duties of medieval kings and queens. But what happened when a male child died in infancy, no male child was born, or no pregnancy ever came about? Barrenness could have dramatic consequences in the Middle Ages, for example expulsion, divorce or conflicts over royal succession. Against this historical background, it seems logical that the fate of the childless ruler would be recounted in the form of a 'Passion narrative'. In the German literature of the Middle Ages, however, there are also interpretative models of a contrary vein to be found. In the year 1220, for instance, Ebernand of Erfurt construed the wedded life of the imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde as a tale of resistance against the royal obligation to reproduce. In his versified legend, composed in the vernacular, the couple secretly agrees not to fulfil society's expectations, but to lead a chaste marriage. Yet above and beyond legend, childless rulers were also subject to the impact of multifarious legal, religious, medical, narrative and discursive factors. Taking Michel Foucault as a point of departure, this contribution shows how fertility became a field of power on which hierarchies between rulers and subjects, men and women were negotiated, while also shedding light on how religious and secular ideals clashed in the assessment of infertility.},
