    From the 'Monster of Ravenna' to the 'Elephant Man', Myra Hindley and Ted Bundy, the visualisation of 'real', human monsters has always played a part in how society sees itself. But what is the function of a monster? Why do we need to embody and represent what is monstrous? This book investigates the appearance of the human monster in Western culture, both historically and in our contemporary society. It argues that images of real (rather than fictional) human monsters help us both to identify and to interrogate what constitutes normality; we construct what is acceptable in humanity by depicting what is not quite acceptable Illustrations; Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1. Monstrous strangers at the edge of the world -- 2. Blurring the boundaries of nature and culture -- 3. Bodies and the order of society -- 4. Monsters in proximity -- 5. A monstrous subject -- 6. Monstrous images of evil -- 7. Modern monsters and the image of normality -- Afterword.

    Emerging from depths comes a series of papers dealing with one of the most significant creations that reflects on and critiques human existence. Both a warning and a demonstration, the monster as myth and metaphor provides an articulation of human imagination that toys with the permissible and impermissible. Monsters from zombies to cuddly cartoon characters, emerging from sewers, from pages of literature, propaganda posters, movies and heavy metal, all are covered in this challenging, scholarly collection. This volume the third in the series presents a marvellous collection of studies on the metaphor of the monster in literature, cinema, music, culture, philosophy, history and politics. Both historical reflection and concerns of our time are addressed with clarity and written in an accessible manner providing appeal for the scholar and lay reader alike. This eclectic collection will be of interest to academics and students working in a range of disciplines, such as cultural studies, film studies, political theory, philosophy and literature studies

    Wissenschaftliche, aber verständliche Darstellung der "Wundervölker" im Mittelalter, die als "wunderliche", "monströse" menschliche und menschenähnliche Wesen mit körperlichen oder sonstigen Abweichungen in fremden Gebieten definiert werden. Rezension (ekz): Der Untertitel weist darauf hin, dass es hier vor allem um "Wundervölker" geht: "wunderliche", "monströse" menschliche oder menschenähnliche Wesen mit körperlichen oder sonstigen Abweichungen in fernen, fremden Gebieten; sie gehören aber zur Vielfalt der Schöpfung. Es geht also nicht um singuläre und gar übernatürliche, gefährliche Wesen wie Dämonen. Der Bonner Professor (zum mittelalterlichen Weltbild schon) beschreibt den Platz dieser "Monster" in der Welt des Mittelalters, die zeitgemäe︢n Erklärungen für ihre Herkunft, die Ursachen für den Glauben an diese Wesen und schlägt schliesslich den Bogen zu "Wundervölkern" in der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart (Stichwort: "Science-Fiction"). Ein 79-seitiges Lexikon dieser Wesen beschliesst den Band, der mit ca. 150 Abbildungen gut illustriert ist. Über 40 Seiten Anmerkungen, Quellen- und Literaturverzeichnis. Die wissenschaftliche, aber verständliche Arbeit öffnet den Blick für eine besondere mittelalterliche Spezies jenseits der üblichen Monster- und Dämonengestalten und ist für eine entsprechend interessierte Leserschaft von Gewinn.

    Early modern art features a remarkable fascination with ornament, both as decorative device and compositional strategy, across artistic media and genres. Interestingly, the inventive, elegant manifestations of ornament in the art of the period often include layers of disquieting paradoxes, creating tensions - monstrosities even - that manifest themselves in a variety of ways. In some cases, dichotomies (between order and chaos, artificiality and nature, rational logic and imaginative creativity, etc.) may emerge. Elsewhere, a sense of agitation undermines structures of statuesque control or erupts into wild, unruly displays of constant genesis. The monstrosity of ornament is brought into play through strategies of hybridity and metamorphosis, or by the handling of scale, proportion, and space in ambiguous and discomforting ways that break with the laws of physical reality. An interest in strange exaggeration and curious artifice allows for such colossal ornamental attitude to thrive within early modern art

    Early modern art features a remarkable fascination with ornament, both as decorative device and compositional strategy, across artistic media and genres. Interestingly, the inventive, elegant manifestations of ornament in the art of the period often include layers of disquieting paradoxes, creating tensions - monstrosities even - that manifest themselves in a variety of ways. In some cases, dichotomies (between order and chaos, artificiality and nature, rational logic and imaginative creativity, etc.) may emerge. Elsewhere, a sense of agitation undermines structures of statuesque control or erupts into wild, unruly displays of constant genesis. The monstrosity of ornament is brought into play through strategies of hybridity and metamorphosis, or by the handling of scale, proportion, and space in ambiguous and discomforting ways that break with the laws of physical reality. An interest in strange exaggeration and curious artifice allows for such colossal ornamental attitude to thrive within early modern art

    Die Untersuchung versteht sich im Rahmen interdisziplinärer Text-und-Bild-Forschung. Sie gilt dem rätselhaftesten Frontispiz des Barock und analysiert es in Gestaltung sowie ikonographischer Tradition und im Kontext des Genres. Dabei kann auch der philologische Nachweis geführt werden, daß die Vorlage für den Kupferstich von Grimmelshausens eigener Hand stammt. Sein Frontispiz wird als poetologisches Sinnbild entschlüsselt, das bildliches Zitat und Variation jenes literarischen Monstrums ist, das Horaz am Anfang seiner »Ars poetica« als ein Karikaturbild einer zu großen Varietas skizziert. Im Vergleich erscheint Grimmelshausens literarisches Monstrum umgearbeitet zu einem rechtfertigenden Sinnbild für den »Simplicissimus«-Roman und seine Komplexität. Zusammen mit den zusätzlichen Darstellungselementen eines Satyrs beansprucht das programmatische Frontispiz die von der Poetik eingeräumte Stoff- und Formfreiheit der satirischen Schreibart. Die gilt dem Großfolianten des Titelbildes, der als Buch der Welt zu verstehen ist, das durch das Monstrum, den »Simplicissimus«-Roman, satirisch offenbart wird. Doch nicht Gottes Buch seiner geordneten Schöpfung gibt es da zu sehen, sondern deren Entstellung durch die Umtriebe der Menschen, wie Deformationen und Verkehrtheiten jener ›menschlichen Dingen‹ im Welt-Buch erkennen lassen The most enigmatic frontispiece in baroque literature is analyzed in terms of design, iconographic tradition, and in the context of the genre. This analysis produces philological evidence that the original drawing on which the engraving is based stems from Grimmelshausen himself. The frontispiece is decoded as a poetological symbol designed, in each and every detail, to justify the »Simplicissimus« and its complexity, not least by presenting it as a satirical novel that opens the book of the world in such a way that human failings can be recognized for what they are

    At the center of this interdisciplinary study are court monsters - dwarves, hirsutes, and misshapen individuals - who, by their very presence, altered Renaissance ethics vis-à-vis anatomical difference, social virtues, and scientific knowledge. These monsters evolved from objects of curiosity, to scientific cases, to legally independent beings. Although many images of and writings about these individuals depict them as jokes of nature or indices of courtly wit, others transcend these categories, combining a vocabulary of courtly self-fashioning with close observations akin to dissections that humanize monsters, while simultaneously stressing their anatomical difference. More importantly, the works examined in this book point to the intricate cultural, religious, ethical, and scientific perceptions of monstrous individuals who were fixtures in contemporary courts. From entertainers to advisors, and from faithful companions to collectible objects, monsters at court held liminal positions used by rulers to create and shape their own personae.

    From the 'Monster of Ravenna' to the 'Elephant Man', Myra Hindley and Ted Bundy, the visualisation of 'real', human monsters has always played a part in how society sees itself. But what is the function of a monster? Why do we need to embody and represent what is monstrous? This book investigates the appearance of the human monster in Western culture, both historically and in our contemporary society. It argues that images of real (rather than fictional) human monsters help us both to identify and to interrogate what constitutes normality; we construct what is acceptable in humanity by depicting what is not quite acceptable Illustrations; Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1.

    Tauchen Monster in der Kulturgeschichte des Menschen auf, verbreiten sie Schrecken. Zugleich stellen sie auch Objekte der Faszination dar - eben weil sie anders zu sein scheinen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beschäftigen sich mit der jeweiligen historischen Gestalt und Konzeptualisierung von Monstern und beleuchten den Facettenreichtum des Monsters und des Monströsen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird dabei der Funktionalität dieser Gestalten für den Menschen eingeräumt, die vom Identitätsgenerator qua Grenzziehung zum nicht-mehr-menschlichen Leben bis hin zur Verheißung einer posthumanistischen Zukunft reicht.

    Die Untersuchung versteht sich im Rahmen interdisziplinärer Text-und-Bild-Forschung. Sie gilt dem rätselhaftesten Frontispiz des Barock und analysiert es in Gestaltung sowie ikonographischer Tradition und im Kontext des Genres. Dabei kann auch der philologische Nachweis geführt werden, daß die Vorlage für den Kupferstich von Grimmelshausens eigener Hand stammt. Sein Frontispiz wird als poetologisches Sinnbild entschlüsselt, das bildliches Zitat und Variation jenes literarischen Monstrums ist, das Horaz am Anfang seiner »Ars poetica« als ein Karikaturbild einer zu großen Varietas skizziert. Im Vergleich erscheint Grimmelshausens literarisches Monstrum umgearbeitet zu einem rechtfertigenden Sinnbild für den »Simplicissimus«-Roman und seine Komplexität. Zusammen mit den zusätzlichen Darstellungselementen eines Satyrs beansprucht das programmatische Frontispiz die von der Poetik eingeräumte Stoff- und Formfreiheit der satirischen Schreibart. Die gilt dem Großfolianten des Titelbildes, der als Buch der Welt zu verstehen ist, das durch das Monstrum, den »Simplicissimus«-Roman, satirisch offenbart wird. Doch nicht Gottes Buch seiner geordneten Schöpfung gibt es da zu sehen, sondern deren Entstellung durch die Umtriebe der Menschen, wie Deformationen und Verkehrtheiten jener ›menschlichen Dingen‹ im Welt-Buch erkennen lassen The most enigmatic frontispiece in baroque literature is analyzed in terms of design, iconographic tradition, and in the context of the genre. This analysis produces philological evidence that the original drawing on which the engraving is based stems from Grimmelshausen himself. The frontispiece is decoded as a poetological symbol designed, in each and every detail, to justify the »Simplicissimus« and its complexity, not least by presenting it as a satirical novel that opens the book of the world in such a way that human failings can be recognized for what they are
