Abstract:

AbstractGeography is a fundamental element of ancient ethnography, yet the account of the environment in Tacitus' Germania is notably sparse. Standard elements of geographic description are absent, or are presented in restricted (and subversive) ways. This paper examines the presentation and structuring of Germanic spaces against a backdrop of contrasting contemporary geographic writings, and considers the implications of Tacitus' rejection of geographic norms.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article demonstrates that Tacitus, who coined the term interpretatio Romana, used this concept differently than today's historians of religion. Tacitus differentiated between universal and local gods. It is also shown that this differentiation fits the author's structuring of "Germania", which he divides into a general and a specific part. This carries far-reaching consequences because for instance the cult of the Semnones is a local superstitio in tacitean terms, and the common identification of Roman with ”Germanic“ gods since J. Grimm must be abandoned. Finally, the article establishes that G. Wissowa's seminal work on interpretatio Romana, which assumes the deity cults of Germania superior and inferior, fails to take into account that Tacitus, as a historian of religion, merely dealt with "authentic" and "original" Germania.

Abstract:

Abstract Although Tacitus began his writing career during the Principate at the end of the first century CE, the dominant approach to thinking about political life was still guided by Republicanism, a constellation of concepts from the mid-first century BCE Roman Republic. Republicanism held that there was only one type of monarchy and that it necessarily precluded libertas. Tacitus, who was living under different iterations of monopolistic power in the Principate, questions this tenet by examining various Germanic tribes. The Germania explores different types of monarchical arrangements, showing that monarchy is not a one-size-fits-all form and that there are significant political differences among the Germanic monarchies, some of which preserve libertas. In this examination, he highlights the inapplicability of Republicanism to a system as dynamic as the Principate.

Abstract:

Since the fifteenth century, when Tacitus’ Germania was discovered, the Teutonic Forest has been the central mythologeme of the German imagined community created by successive generations of philosophers, theologians and artists. The interest in multiple relationships between the prototype native landscape of the forest and the Germanic national character grew throughout the nineteenth century, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the interwar period, up to the times of Nazism.

Abstract:

This article proposes a new generic label for Tacitus’ Germania as “frontier ethnography”. Our reading is supported by Germania’s textual instability, due to its topical originality and compositive innovation. Although these features place Germania in a disruptive positioning face of historiographical tradition of Monography, it is consistent with the particular rhetorical situation of the late first century AD, traversed by the mixture of genres and the inversion of center-periphery relationships, and with the rise of a new dynasty as well. These characteristics are found in the two main text features of Germania. On the one hand, Ethnography, which was traditionally relegated to the excursus, is used here as the text’s main narrative device, whereas historical discourse is relocated to the digression. On the other hand, Barbaric periphery beyond the frontier becomes the central narrative matter of the text. Therefore, these textual features allow us to state that Germania insinuates a discourse move towards the limits of Roman generic and geographical space. Hence, Tacitus’ Germania can be interpreted as a literary exercise representing a new space within its sociopolitical context: the frontier.

Abstract:

As in other societies, adultery was a punishable offence among the Germanic peoples. Although it is a topic which has commanded considerable attention, it has been given attention not so much because it deals with family law and its significance to social history, as because it concerns the treatment of women. But closely related to the question of women, of course, is that of how men view each other. Even as early as Tacitus, evidence exists that Germanic women were treated with respect, and were subject to the protection or mundium of male relatives. Although exaggerated, the account in the Germania gives us some understanding of the role of Germanic women in respect of betrothal, marriage and family life. But it also leaves us with questions to which we most likely will never find answers.

Abstract:

The research aims to deepen the understanding of the views of the famous Byzantinist V. G. Vasilevsky on the possibility of involving the work “Germania” by Tacitus (56-120 AD) to consider the causes of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire on the basis of Vasilevsky’s previously unused reports on research trips to Europe, lecture courses, as well as his handwritten biography by his student I. M. Grevs. The objectives of the research are to scientifically substantiate the significance of V. G. Vasilevsky’s contribution to the study of Tacitus in Russian classics. The paper examines how the works by the famous Russian Byzantinist and academician of the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences V. G. Vasilevsky developed approaches to the study of the works by the Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus, which had a significant impact on the interpretation of this author in the national historical tradition. It is shown that the Russian scientist was able to find new approaches to the source. He drew attention to the fact that one can find an indication of the disintegration of the agricultural community and the formation of an extremely unstable society of small family land ownership in Tacitus’ writings. Thus, V. G. Vasilevsky was one of the first to notice that we find the theme of the economic crisis as early as the beginning of the 2nd century AD. Scientific novelty consists in providing a new holistic picture of V. G. Vasilevsky’s activities as an expert in the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and, in particular, in the interpretation of Tacitus’ “Germania”. As a result, it has been found that despite the fact that V. G. Vasilevsky gained fame as a Byzantinist by the end of his life, the issues of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire interested him during his studies and he addressed them in his lecture activities. Thus, V. G. Vasilevsky’s scientific legacy can be supplemented by the theme of a new approach to Tacitus’ “Germania” as a source that marked the beginning of the social and economic crisis in the Western Roman Empire.

Abstract:

La lectura de la Germania ha pasado por avatares diversos, procedentes tanto de las propias proyecciones del presente como de la naturaleza imprecisa del texto. Su ‘imperfecta’ etnografía provocó una minusvaloración que llevó a ignorar la intencionalidad política subyacente al discurso erudito. Sin embargo, presentar el texto como una mera descripción, o el divertimento académico de un estudioso, contradice la incuestionable implicación pública de su autor. Tácito es un genuino representante de una facción senatorial que, además de añorar el pasado, pretende influir en la política imperial, promover un impulso expansionista que la lógica estratégica defensiva parecía ya desaconsejar

Abstract:

Abstract Ever since Kemble (1840), buton folcscare (Beowulf, 73a) has been thought to mean ‘with the exception of the common land’. The Old English compound folcscaru is reliably attested in poetic texts in the sense ‘tribe, nation’; secondarily the meaning ‘province, land’ may have arisen, but nowhere does the compound convey the special sense ‘common land, commons’. It can be shown that a meaning in the area of ‘tribe’ makes sense at line 73 of Beowulf as well, but the genitive gumena refers to both folcscare and feorum. It is quite conceivable that the line provides a distant echo of ancient Germanic customs concerning limitations of royal authority as adumbrated in Tacitus’ Germania.

Abstract:

The energy transition presents complex challenges that require multidisciplinary insights and innovative solutions. However, traditional research methods often overlook valuable tacit knowledge, hindering effective contributions from relevant social groups. To counter this, the inter- and transdisciplinary research project MEnergy – My energy transition, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, aims to create inclusive environments where the citizens’ perspective and experience is acknowledged, unlocked, and visualized. Based on the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT), the project aims to harness this knowledge, including gaps in knowledge, in analog, digital, and virtual communication formats to inform citizens about the energy transition and its technologies. This is done in three incremental design cycles over three years. This paper focuses on the first design cycle, which identifies participants' existing knowledge, attitudes, and emotions toward the energy transition. This is achieved in two consecutive cocreation workshops with different target groups. The participants' tacit knowledge and ability to imagine positive energy transition narratives is captured in the first workshop. Through storytelling, visualization, and collaborative ideation, participants articulate their tacit knowledge and provide insights based on their experience and expertise. Building on this, the second workshop is designed with modular interactive learning units to capture and increase the participants’ dimensions of knowledge (What can I do?) and willingness to act (What will I do?). Visual tools and collaborative techniques facilitate sharing and representation of tacit knowledge, improving the researchers’ and participants’ understanding of challenges and solutions. The data collected, both material artifacts and observation logs, is analyzed and mapped.The findings suggest an urgent need for low-threshold, local opportunities for citizens to learn about the potential of renewable energy. Furthermore, many citizens struggle to visualize a successful energy transition and have instead internalized narratives of sacrifice and prohibition. Here, scientists and policymakers are challenged not only to develop long-term sustainable solutions but also to communicate them in an accessible way.

Abstract:

Using the example of a fairly recent case of (data-based) political decision-making in Germany, namely the so called ‘energy transition’, I shall analyse how data are used in the communication processes between politics and the public. Based on the well-known notion of statistical literacy as well as on the seminal work of Nowotny, Stehr and Weingart, I shall present a sociological model that will help to understand both the importance of data and the (tacit) assumptions about citizens and their statistical skills. Pointing out problems that arise when taking these assumptions for granted, I shall propose a refined perspective of how statistical literacy should be discussed and implemented in an educational context. As a result of my analysis, I shall suggest broadening the very construct of statistical literacy.

Abstract:

This poster looks at the circulation rate for literary primary texts, which constitute a unique area of collecting in academic libraries: while they do not in most cases meet immediate research needs, it is assumed that libraries ought to acquire them, for reasons including future research needs, preservation of the cultural record, and the ability of members of the intellectual community to stay current, those these remain primarily tacit. The circulation trends of contemporary literary works in ten areas of literature (English, American, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Latin American, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian) over the past twenty years at the University of Oregon Knight Library are presented and the circulation turnover rate (CTR), for each of these subject areas are presented. Sample graphs allow for the comparison of circulation rates and numbers of books across time, and serve as examples of the utility of such visualizations of the numbers. The key question raised by the study is what makes a good CTR for a particular region of the collection? The poster concludes by summarizing the considerations that bear on the interpretation of the CTR as an index of how the collection is “working.”

Abstract:

The demographic change has a large impact on the labour market and poses a challenge to companies. With many employees going into retirement within the next 10 years, it is not just the workforce itself leaving the firms, but also their experiential knowledge that the workers gained over the years. Much of it is tacit and thus unobtainable through common documentaries of work processes. Keeping it inside of the company is crucial to ensure productivity and educate the upcoming generation of workers in their company. The project “KI_eeper – Know how to keep” has the goal to capture experiential knowledge and provide it to the workers during the production process automatically through an AI-based assistance system. The system is currently under development and requires careful consideration of the users’ needs at the production line. By choosing a participative approach, the employees are directly in touch with the developers and can influence the development of the system significantly. Managing both the available technical capabilities as well as the demands of the employees towards the system at the same time is key to have a successful outcome of the project. This paper shares the essential success factors both on the technical and socio-technical level to secure a seamless integration of an AI-based assistance system into production processes, based on a case study in a German manufacturing company.
