Thematic Fields
The SFB 933 organized its interdisciplinary work across subproject boundaries in seven thematic fields:
- Knowledge & Science (scientific-epistemic field)
- Sacredness (ritual-religious field)
- Power & Administration (political-administrative field)
- Material Transformation
- Layout/Design/Text-Image
- Memory/Archive
- Reflections on Writing
The thematic fields allowed for the comparison of social practices across cultures, time and space (thematic fields 1 to 3). Further, they enhanced and scrutinized the theory and methods of the CRC 933 (thematic fields 4 to 7).
The synthesis of the comparative studies and the methodological-theoretical groundwork has been published in the volume " On the Theory and Systematics of Material Text Culture ".
