Renaissance Papers collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. The 2014 volume opens and closes with essays on historically based explorations of identity: the first on the circle of Jane Scroop in Skelton's 'Philip Sparrow', and the last on dogs and horses as symbols of national identity in early modern England. The heart of this year's journal is English drama, especially Jonson and Marlowe: there are essays on Puritan logic in Jonson's 'Bartholomew Fair'; grotesque sex in Jonson's 'Volpone'; the role of anti-Catholicism in the creation of Marlowe's 'Dr. Faustus'; and the relationship between puppetry and the Faust legend. Marlowe and Jonson also surface in two reconsiderations of their non-dramatic works; first an essay on Ovidian resonances in Marlowe's 'Hero and Leander', and second a reflection on Spenserian echoes in Jonson's 'Epode'. The next essay shifts to the poetics of religious literature, arguing for clothing as an important metaphor for renewal in Herbert's 'The Temple', and the penultimate essay addresses imaginative resources in the Martin Marprelate pamphlets

"The Renaissance Conscience presents one of the first modern studies to explore the variety of ways in which people during the Renaissance conversed with - and let themselves be guided by - their conscience. Through the careful examination of a wide range of extant sources including theological manuals, legal treatises, letters, and literary and autobiographical texts, the authors illustrate how individuals in England and the Hispanic world during the period of the Renaissance sought to reconcile their private and public selves, and thus establish and protect their identity. Individual essays demonstrate the significance, diversity, and fluidity of notions of conscience in the early modern world. These thought-provoking case studies also reveal how authority figures and commoners from two distinct cultural spheres struggled with similar issues and did so with explicit reference to shared scholastic and humanist traditions - often with similar outcomes. The Renaissance Conscience sheds important new light on the ways in which medieval and Renaissance discourses on conscience impacted upon early modern life and anticipated contemporary notions of moral autonomy"--

Connecting Renaissance humanism to the variety of "critical posthumanisms" in twenty-first-century literary and cultural theory, Renaissance Posthumanism reconsiders traditional languages of humanism and the human, not by nostalgically enshrining or triumphantly superseding humanisms past but rather by revisiting and interrogating them. What if today's "critical posthumanisms," even as they distance themselves from the iconic representations of the Renaissance, are in fact moving ever closer to ideas in works from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century? What if "the human" is at once embedded and embodied in, evolving with, and de-centered amid a weird tangle of animals, environments, and vital materiality? Seeking those patterns of thought and practice, contributors to this collection focus on moments wherein Renaissance humanism looks retrospectively like an uncanny "contemporary"—and ally—of twenty-first-century critical posthumanism

Even if specific pieces of research (on the sources or on individual authors, such as Pico, Agrippa, Erasmus, Montaigne, Sanches etc.) have given and are still producing significant results on Renaissance scepticism, an overall synthesis comprising the entire period has not been achieved yet. No predetermined idea of that complex historical subject that is Renaissance scepticism underlies this book, and we want to sacrifice the complexity of movements, personalities, tendencies and interpretations to any sort of a priori unity of theme even less. We acknowledge unhesitatingly that we had always thought of "scepticisms" in the plural, and believe that the different contexts (philosophical, religious, cultural) in which these forms grew up must also be taken into account. Furthermore, given the transversal nature and provocative character of the sceptical challenge, this book contains essays also on philosophers who, without being sceptics and sometimes engaged in fighting scepticism, nevertheless took up its challenge. The main authors considered in this book are: Vives, Castellio, Agrippa, Pedro de Valencia, Pico, Sanchez, Montaigne, Charron, Bruno, Bacon, and Campanella. The various essays in the book show the relevance of the philosophical thought of authors little known by the general public and put in new perspective important aspects of the thought of some of the great thinkers of the Renaissance.

Obwohl die Geschichte der qualitativen Forschung schon mehr als ein Jahrhundert umfasst, erschienen die ersten Texte zur Bestimmung ihrer Methodologie erst in den 1960er Jahren. Der Aufsatz erforscht die Gründe für diese lange Verzögerung und fragt danach, warum die Soziologie, die sich so lange mit qualitativen Methoden und Techniken beschäftigt hatte, sich so wenig um die Ausbildung der Methodologie kümmerte. Nachdem er die Entwicklung der qualitativen Methoden und ihres Einsatzes in den gegenwärtigen Sozialwissenschaften skizziert hat, entwirft der Autor ein Bild der Zukunft qualitativer Forschung. Bei aller Vorsicht, mit der man solche Zukunftsszenarien betrachten sollte, kann man doch fünf mögliche Richtungen identifizieren: (a) die Formulierung zentraler Methoden; (b) die Entwicklung der Datenanalyse; (c) die Verbindung zwischen Computer und qualitativer Forschung; (d) die Notwendigkeit qualitativen Forschung in der multikulturellen Gesellschaft und (e) Folgen für die angewandte Forschung.
