Parallel Worlds; Conclusion; BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEX 330 $aFor many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This book argues that this was because the political and social order could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not the actual written laws, that formed a political language indispensable in maintaining the common order. 410 0$aSpektrum (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aPolitical customs and rites$zGermany 606 $aConstitutional history$zHoly Roman Empire 607 $aHoly Roman Empire$xCivilization 607 $aHoly Roman Empire$xKings and rulers 607 $aHoly Roman Empire$xSymbolic representation 610 $acharlemagne. 610 $acharles the great. 610 $acharles v. 610 $aconstitutional history. 610 $acoronation regalia. 610 $acultural sociology. 610 $aearly german history. 610 $aearly modern europe. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aeuropean history. 610 $agerman studies. 610 $agermany. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $aholy roman empire. 610 $amaximilian i. 610 $amedieval europe. 610 $anobility. 610 $apolitical history. 610 $apolitical language. 610 $apolitical process. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apolitical structure. 610 $aregensburg. 610 $arituals. 610 $aroyalty. 610 $asocial construction. 610 $asocial order. 610 $asymbolic language. 610 $asymbolic-ritual acts. 610 $asymbols. 615 0$aPolitical customs and rites 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a943/.02 700 $aStollberg-Rilinger$b Barbara$0169536 702 $aDunlap$b Thomas$f1959- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797659803321 996 $aThe emperor's old clothes$93834762 997 $aUNINA
