POETICS AND POLITICS GEBUNDEN

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 artefacts or genres they belong
to  as well as strategies of functionalization in the context of a given part of the cultural
net. Contributions cover a broad range of topics  including poetics of Early Modern Drama 
political  institutional and social practices  history of themes and motifs (Stoffgeschichte) 
history of genres cross-fertilization between genres  textual traditions and distribution of
texts  questions of originality and authorship  theories of circulation and net structures in
Drama Studies.
