Das Konzept der ‘Kontingenz’ liefert neue Erkenntnisse zum Ubergang zwischen Spatantike und Fruhmittelalter abseits altbekannter Meistererzahlungen und Forschungsnarrative.


In Gaul and neighbouring areas Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages were times of political upheaval, change and unpredictable dynamics. As alternative to historical metanarratives such as ‘fall/decline’, ‘continuity’ or ‘transformation’ the papers of this volume analyse the narrative modes of (coping with) contingency – understood as the space which makes coincidence possible and intelligible (following Luhmann, Rusen and others) – in contemporary sources.
