Abstract
Abstract This paper investigates the role of scientific objects in early modern academic teaching. From the 17th century onwards, objects have been important both for scientific practices and for instruction. This paper has two parts. It begins with a systematic investigation of the historical development of the use of objects in academic teaching. Practice-oriented academic disciplines like medicine, physics, and biology were the first to integrate a wide range of material objects into their teaching (e. g., taxidermy animals and measuring instruments). The architecture of lecture halls, as they are illustrated in historical etchings, reflects the increasing importance of objects for academic teaching. In these etchings, objects are placed prominently within the lecture area. The use of objects during lectures also had consequences on how teachers organized their lectures and how students arranged their notes. The second part of this paper illustrates this by looking at the use of objects within Rudolf Virchow’s exemplary lectures on pathology from both the teacher’s as well as the students’ perspectives.
期刊介绍:
The subject area of the ZEITSCHRIFT FÜR GERMANISTISCHE LINGUISTIK (ZGL) is the German language of the present as well as the history of the German language in all its differentiations. The main focus of the journal is on the standard language of today. The ZGL publishes articles, discussions, and reports on the most important developments in the field, as well as review articles of selected books. The annual list of newly published books ("Neue Bücher") and the journal exhibit ("Zeitschriftenschau") of approx. 80 international journals support the integration of the field of German linguistics.
