Kanon und Kanonisierung'

Under the title 'Kanon und Kanonisierung' (Canon and Canonization), an interdisciplinary conference was held at the University of Lucerne in the fall of 2010, the contributions to which are collected in the present volume. The concept of the canon has become a key term in cultural studies in recent years. It denotes highly binding forms of cultural self-assurance, which experience particular conciseness in the medium of writing. A canon cannot be continued and changed in its form, a canonical collection cannot be supplemented by new elements. As a text in its final form, the canon has normative power and authority. It virtually stands for the exemplary condensation of the relationship between text and normativity. The volume contains contributions from the fields of theology, philosophy, jurisprudence, religious studies, and East Asian cultural studies.
