SFB 1167: Macht and Herrschaft – Premodern Configurations in a Transcultural Perspective

在生活几乎所有领域日益复杂和相互关联的印象下，许多历史和文化评估都将重点放在所谓的现代性上。然而，如果不分析过去的政治和社会组织形式，就无法充分理解“全球化”这个关键词所包含的过程。在这一背景下，可以被描述为跨文化和跨时间的分析类别，如Macht和Herrschaft，变得尤为重要。因此，拟建的DFG-合作研究中心1167明确地从跨文化的角度探讨了亚洲、欧洲和北非的马赫特和赫斯夏夫特的前现代现象和形态。它是现象学描述的一个组成部分，旨在揭示事实确立的秩序与其感知、描述或注释之间的相互依存关系。通过这样做，我们的目标是克服或至少减轻对Macht和Herrschaft普遍存在的以欧洲为中心的做法，质疑基本上由欧洲研究学科设定的界限。因此，合作研究中心的主要目标是实现前现代马赫特和赫斯夏夫特的全面现象学。

Under the impression of a growing complexity and interconnectedness regarding almost all areas of life, many historical and cultural assessments have focussed on so-called modernity. Yet the processes subsumed unter the keyword of 'globalisation' cannot be adequately understood without analysing past forms of political and social organisation. In this context categories of analysis which can be characterised as both transcultural and transtemporal such as Macht and Herrschaft, gain eminent importance. The intended DFG-Collaborative Research Centre 1167 therefore explicitly addresses premodern phenomena and configurations of Macht and Herrschaft in Asia, Europe and Northern Africa in a transcultural perspective. It is an integral part of the phenomenological description intended to reveal the interdependancy between an order that is factually established and its perception, depiction or annotation. In doing so, we aim to overcome or at least to mitigate the ubiquitous eurocentric approach to Macht and Herrschaft, questioning the boundaries set up by essentially European research disciplines. Thus the Collaborative Research Centre's main objective is to attain to a comprehensive phenomenology of premodern Macht and Herrschaft.
