This issue of
Seminar focuses on the mediality of culture in the premodern and early modern era. Scholarship is expanding our understanding of ways in which different kinds of material objects serve as media, and there is renewed interest in the role played by materiality
and mediality in the re-circulation, appropriation and adaptation of shared stories, images, and ideas. The contributions take stock of this recent shift in scholarly attention and probe questions of medieval and early modern mediality from broadly conceived
disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. The issue presents analyses of German literature, historical sources and artefacts from the Old High German to the Early Modern era. It seeks to capture alterities as well as continuities of medieval mediality
and media use.
