from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudia Garnier (born May 24, 1970 in Lich ) is a German historian .

Claudia Garnier studied Middle and Modern History and Slavic Studies at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen and the University of Kazan from 1989 to 1994 . From 1994 to 1995 she was with Heinhard Steiger at the chair for international law, law of international organizations and European law at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. From 1995 to 1997 she was a research assistant with Gerd Althoff at the Chair of Medieval History at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . In 1998 Garnier received his doctorate in Giessen for a thesis on political friendship and princely networks in the 13th century, supervised by Gerd Althoff. From 1998 to 2008 she was a research assistant at Althoff at the Westphalian Wilhelms University . She completed her habilitation in 2008 with a study on the “culture of request” in the medieval empire. In the same year she was substitute professor for Bernd Schneidmüller at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . From September 2008 to 2011 she was a teacher for special tasks at the Cluster of Excellence “Religion and Politics” in Münster. Garnier has been professor of pre-modern history at the University of Vechta since spring 2011 .

Her main research interests are the formation of political networks in the late Middle Ages, conflict resolution and arbitration in the late Middle Ages, feuding in the late Middle Ages, the forms of communication in the medieval system of rule, the strategies of intercultural communication between East and West, the political and religious exclusion proceedings in the high and late Middle Ages. In her dissertation, Garnier analyzed friendship treaties in the second half of the 13th century. Geographically, it concentrated on the sphere of influence of the four Rhenish royal voters, because “the domains of these princes formed a more or less closed political unit” and “are extraordinarily well developed in terms of sources”. In doing so, she examined the effects of the growing literacy in the High Middle Ages on symbolic behavior. Written contracts have increased since the 12th century. However, the script did not replace the symbolic actions, but added details that could not be expressed symbolically. In her habilitation thesis, she examined the political instrument of petition in secular rule in the medieval empire. Garnier emphasized that through the request, in comparison to the order, “different, at first glance mutually exclusive concepts of political order ideas could be brought to a common denominator”.

In 2016, Garnier published a supplement to the Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung together with Christiane Vogel . The volume is the result of a conference that took place at the University of Vechta in 2012. After an introduction, six articles deal with the external relations of Central and Western European powers with their eastern neighbors with a special focus on the importance of symbolic communication. Although "the language of rituals in the cultural contact of the premodern [...] can be seen as the lingua franca ", symbolic communication often led to conflicts and misunderstandings. Above all, the examples of external relations with the Ottoman Empire and Russia show "the potential and the limits of symbolic communication in intercultural diplomatic contacts of the premodern". With their studies, the authors want to make a contribution to research into the “intercultural dimension of premodern diplomacy”.
