Early modern multi-denominationalism "East" vs. "West"? A comparative analysis on the Ottoman Empire and Venice in the 17th and 18th centuries.

该项目的目的是对17世纪和18世纪奥斯曼王国和威尼斯王国的多教派现象进行比较研究，重点是东正教基督徒和犹太人作为具有合法少数群体地位的教派社区，尽管它们在经济和人口上都很重要。第一个关注焦点涉及在这一东南-欧洲-地中海重叠区域发展宗教异质性的体制框架，其中涉及帝国统治战略框架内的融合和隔离机制、跨教派互动的范围以及交流空间的交织。第二个关注焦点涉及作为历史常量的多宗派主义对宗教团体本身的追溯影响，其中涉及到各自知识文化的接触区、边界的越界和废除、宗教危机和破裂、自我和他者观念的发展以及宗教认同的形成，这些都是从教化进程的角度进行审查的。在更广泛的意义上，社会历史与话语分析的方法相结合，旨在更好地理解近代以来的多宗派现象及其在更广泛的欧洲文化史背景中的位置。

The aim of the project is a comparative research of the phenomenon of multi-denominationalism in the Ottoman and Venetian realms during the 17th and 18th centuries focusing on Orthodox Christians and Jews as denominational communities with legal minority status although economically and demographically important. The first focus of interest concerns the development of the institutional framework of religious heterogeneinty in this southeast-european-mediterranean overlap-region, which involves the mechanisms of integration and segregation in the framework of imperial ruling strategies, the scope of trans-denominational interaction as well as the interweaving of communication spaces. The second focus of interest concerns the retroactive effects of multi-denominationalism as a historical constant on the religious communities themselves, which involves contact zones of the respective cultures of knowledge, transgressions and abolitions of boundaries, religious crises and breaks, the development of perceptions of self and otherness and thus the shaping of religious identities which are examined under the aspect of confessionalization processes. The methodological combination of an, in a wider sense, socio-historical with an discourse-analytical approach aims at an improved understanding of the phenomenon of multi-denominationalism since early modern times and its location in a broader context of european cultural history.
