| description | The “post-truth era” and a new kind of threat from uncontrollable fake news have been central components in diagnoses of the present for several years. However, the question of how historically new such phenomena actually are is controversial. This volume, which brings together contributions from the fields of history and literary studies, aims to provide a fundamental clarification of whether and in what respect we can speak of fake news in the Middle Ages. A theoretical introduction and case studies are used to examine the extent to which structural analogies can be identified for the constellation of phenomena that are currently referred to as fake news in the European Middle Ages and where the heuristic limits of such anachronism lie. |

Bubert, Marcel Claudia Doering, Pia Fake News Evidential practices Falsity Fiction Competition among truths Middle Ages thema EDItEUR::N History and Archaeology::NH History::NHD European history::NHDJ European history: medieval period, middle ages The “post-truth era” and a new kind of threat from uncontrollable fake news have been central components in diagnoses of the present for several years. However, the question of how historically new such phenomena actually are is controversial. This volume, which brings together contributions from the fields of history and literary studies, aims to provide a fundamental clarification of whether and in what respect we can speak of fake news in the Middle Ages.

Das ‚postfaktische Zeitalter‘ sowie eine neuartige Bedrohung durch unkontrollierbare Fake News sind seit einigen Jahren zentrale Bestandteile von Gegenwartsdiagnosen. Die Frage, wie historisch neuartig die damit verbundenen Phänomene tatsächlich sind, ist jedoch umstritten. Der vorliegende Band, der Beiträge aus der Geschichts- und der Literaturwissenschaft vereint, möchte eine grundlegende Klärung im Hinblick darauf leisten, ob bzw. in welcher Hinsicht von Fake News im Mittelalter die Rede sein kann. In einer theoretischen Einführung und anhand von Fallbeispielen wird untersucht, inwieweit sich strukturelle Analogien für die Konstellation von Phänomenen, die aktuell als Fake News bezeichnet werden, im europäischen Mittelalter ausmachen lassen und wo die heuristischen Grenzen eines solchen Anachronismus liegen. 2026-04-20T09:31:05Z 2026-04-20T09:31:05Z 2026-04-16T11:58:02Z 2026 book ONIX_20260415T184305_9783968222042_10 (online): 2748-3614 (Print): 2698-2129 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/112423 9783968222042 9783968222059 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/176018 ger Das Mittelalter.
