Although research on medieval history often appropriates terms such as “transculturality” or “entanglement” to explain certain phenomena, there exists no systematic approach to transcultural entanglements from a transdisciplinary perspective. While the first stage of the project is an etymological investigation and a conceptual history of this multi-faceted term within the context of historical semantics, the second one develops models to describe the various forms of transcultural entanglements. This article is intended as a workshop report on the transdisciplinary DFG-Network “Transkulturelle Verflechtungen in Euromediterraneum (500-1500)” from the perspective of medieval German literature.
