Objektzeiten

Relics—objects perceived as old—tell us about times gone by. They can be used to describe age and to connect the past, the present and the future. With the material turn and temporality research, this book combines two research directions from recent decades and takes a diachronic look at the function of objects in relating different concepts of time to each other. It contains contributions by experts from the fields of history, the history of art and philology. The two editors, Dr Mirjam Hähnle (Early Modern Studies) and Julian Zimmermann (Medieval Studies), both work at the interface between materiality and temporality.
