Summary This volume addresses how practices and concepts of performance contribute to the production and circulation of knowledge in German-speaking Europe between 1750 and 1850. Building on recent work in the history of science, media theory, and performance theory, the essays in this volume discuss a range of different scholarly, literary, musical, and theatrical scenes of performance and take up the question of knowledge transfers in new ways.
