  abstract  = {In this chapter, the author argues that Herder's theory of sympathy is informed by his educational practices as a teacher and preacher in Riga (1764 to 1769). In his Riga sermons, Herder develops a model of sympathy that transforms classical rhetorics insofar as it describes the sermon as a mutual interaction between preacher and congregation, thus emphasizing the decisive role of the listening public. This model is informed not only by Herder's theological, but also by his anthropological and aesthetic reflections in the Riga constellation: Sermon and service are conceptualized as the ideal sphere of observing the 'modus operandi' of human feeling and cognition—and of cultivating it at the same time. Within the overarching framework of sympathy, the preacher has to develop specific techniques of "pathos" to activate the senses of his audience and particular ways of empathy to understand its feelings. Most explicitly, Herder develops this model of preaching in his farewell-sermon from Riga in 1769. At the same time, this sermon shows that homiletics are embedded within the specific social and cultural milieus that Herder encounters in German and Latvian congregations in Riga. Last but not least, his farewell-sermon is a medium to defend himself and his concept of preaching against antipathy-driven attacks from local Orthodox-Lutheran clergy.},

  abstract  = {This article focuses on Herder's unpublished anthology of Ancient Folk Songs (1773-1775). A close reading of the prefaces reveals the dialectic of the ,national' and its critique that is inherent to the anthology. In the preface to the first book, the collection of folk songs is primarily motivated by the idea of building a German national poetry. This project of nation-building with the means of folk poetry can be considered innovative because it aims to bridge the gap between popular and scholarly culture and to activate the audience in all its cognitive and affective potentials. Moreover, the vision of national poetry is intertwined with a comparative perspective on European folkloristics, as the British culture appears as role model for the creative adaption and tradition of popular ballads and songs. Finally, in the preface to the fourth book of the anthology, the songs of ,wild' foreign peoples are not only discovered as a vital resource for the reinvention of national poetry, but, according to Herder's vision, they also constitute an archive of human affects and expressions that transcends national and cultural boundaries.},
