Image of Prussia of the Polish Enlightenment - the history of a forgotten cultural transfer (1764 - 1795)

18世纪的启蒙运动被认为是真正的泛欧洲计划。事实上，启蒙运动仍然被视为西欧精神的流动，并被放在西欧近代早期发展的背景下进行考察。本项目旨在打破西欧视角的主导地位，并对启蒙时代的标准解释提出反叙事。研究方法基于文化迁移的概念，这是一种近年来在迁移和比较研究中被证明是卓有成效的方法。18世纪即将逝去的波兰-普鲁士文化转移的一个例子是，面对无可争辩的压迫波兰邻国普鲁士的政治，相互关系是如何发展的，以及这种转移在欧洲开明的话语中扮演了什么角色。从这个问题出发，该项目试图批评以前的史学传统--被理解为相当于将波兰排除在德国或普鲁士启蒙研究之外--并仔细审视启蒙运动期间不受民族刻板印象限制的普鲁士-波兰关系的历史。

The Enlightenment of the 18th century is considered genuinely as pan-European project. In fact, Enlightenment is still examined as Western European spirit flow and in the context of Western European developments of the early modern period. The present project aims to break this dominance of the Western European perspective and to propose the counter-narrative to the standard interpretation of the Age of Enlightenment. The research methodology is based on the concept of cultural transfer, an approach that has proven fruitful in transfer and comparative studies in recent years. An example of Polish-Prussian cultural transfer in the outgoing 18th century will be examine how the mutual relations developed in the face of the indisputable repressive Poland's politics of neighbor Prussia and which role this transfer played in the enlightened discourse in Europe. Starting from this question the project is attempting to criticize the previous tradition of historiography - understood as equivalent to the Exclusion Poland from the German or Prussian enlightened research- and to examine the history of Prussian-Polish relations during the Enlightenment closely, uninhibited by national stereotypes.
