Profiling of the Forum for lntercultural French Studies (Forum Interkulturelle Frankreichforschung -(FIFF)

这一建议的目的是巩固美因茨大学优秀的研究图书馆“跨文化法国研究论坛”（Forum Interkulturelle Frankreichforschung - FIFF）的形象建设过程，该过程始于第一阶段的资助，并将其转化为可持续的结构。通过补充购买相关文献和加强数字基础设施建设来建立档案，在第一阶段工作的基础上，继续并完成馆藏的回顾性补充。此外，数字服务将通过增加有价值的文化历史数据库来优化，这些数据库在德国范围内仅在JGU提供。与前一个特别收藏（Frankreichforschung：Kultur - Gesellschaft - Regionen I法国研究：文化-社会-地区）的重新定位相对应，跨学科和面向历史文化的收藏将进一步发展。地方将被认为是在“全球外围”的背景下，而不是法国的中心。主要的六边形观点将扩大到对所有法语地区的更广泛的关注。通过调整这一新的视角，FIFF反映了法国在全球化进程中不断变化的位置，从而跟上了研究兴趣的变化。JGU的研究活动的基础上收集将进一步加强，网络化，并在国内和国际上比以往任何时候都更明显。因此，工作计划是由大学图书馆和大学合作进行的;研究和信息设施的紧密结合是美因茨项目的独创性和优势。申请资助阶段应有助于发展FIFF在大学和科学界的作用和定位，以便其资源和活动可以转移到一个名副其实的法国研究中心。在与大学管理层协商后，JGU与法国有关的所有活动都将通过FIFF进行整合：即由Dijonbüro管理的两国和三国学位课程以及德法博士学院的工作（DeutschDFG-Vordruck 12.011 - 02/15 Seite 4 von 7 Französisches Doktorandenkolleg I DFDK）。因此，FIFF应该成为美因茨大学的中心旗舰，这是在战略转型的过程中。

lt is the aim of this proposal to consolidate the process of profile building of Mainz University's excellent research library "Forum for lntercultural French Studies" (Forum Interkulturelle Frankreichforschung - FIFF), begun in the first stage of funding, and to transfer it into sustainable structures. The profile building is achieved via supplemental purchase of relevant literature and thestrengthening of the digital infrastructure.Building on the first phase of work the collection's retrospective complementation shall be continued and conclud~d . Also, the digital services shall be optimized by the addition of valuable databases on cultural history which are Germany-wide available exclusively at the JGU. Corresponding with the former special collection's (Frankreichforschung: Kultur - Gesellschaft - Regionen I French Studies: Culture - Society - Regions) re-profiling into an intercultural and transcultural research platform, which was started in the first funding phase, the interdisciplinary and historico-culturally oriented collection will be further developed. The local will be considered in the context of the "global periphery" rather than the French center. The predominant hexagonal point of view will be expanded into a strenger attention on all francophone areas. By adapting this new perspective the FIFF reflects France's changing location in the globalization process and thereby stays abreast of resulting changes in research interests. JGU's research activities based on this collection shall be intensified further, networked and made visible nationally as well as internationally even more than has hitherto been the case. Therefore the work program is conducted cooperatively by University Library and Universlty; the tightintegration of research and information facility accounts for the originality and strength of the Mainz project.The applied for funding phase should serve to develop the FIFF's role and positioning within the university and scientific community so that its resources and activities can be transferred into a veritable France Research Center. In consultation with the university management all of JGU's activities related to France shall be integrated via the FIFF: i.e. the binational and trinational degree programmes as they are managed by the Dijonbüro as well as the work of the German-French Doctoral College (DeutschDFG-Vordruck 12.011 - 02/15 Seite 4 von 7 Französisches Doktorandenkolleg I DFDK). Thus the FIFF is supposed to become a centralflagship of Mainz University which is in the process of a strategic transformation.
