Agency of religious women in the German-speaking areas in the southwestern part of the medieval Empire 1350-1550

拟议的项目审查了宗教妇女采取行动（代理）的可能性，重点是斯特拉斯堡中世纪晚期的穷克莱尔社区的例子。从这个社区（1411-1413）的档案来源的特殊集合中，该研究探讨了妇女对性侵犯后果的管理，这是一个在城市和该地区广为人知的案例。这些资料来源便于进行深入分析-微观研究-揭示妇女个人、社区内各分组以及整个社区的应对战略。除了揭示妇女个人和群体所追求的一系列具体行动策略外，这些文本还提供了对妇女所经历的主观现实的洞察力;我们看到了指导她们行动的利益、她们的冲动（荣誉、虔诚、情感）以及这些行动的制度和社会框架（秩序、城市、家庭）。这一微观研究的结果将有助于目前的研究机构在该领域的宗教妇女在德语地区的中世纪帝国的西南部地区，以及在中世纪后期的女性机构的一般话语。

The proposed project examines the possibilities for action (agency) of religious women, focusing on the example of the late medieval community of Poor Clares in Strasbourg. Moving out from an exceptional collection of archival sources from this community (1411-1413), the study examines the women`s management of the aftermath of a sexual assault, a case that was widely known in the city and in the region. The sources allow for an in-depth analysis - a micro-study - that reveals the coping strategies of individual women, of various sub-groups within the community, and of the community as a whole. In addition to revealing an array of concrete strategies for action pursued both by individual women and by groups, these texts offer insight into the subjective reality that the women experienced; we see the interests that guided their actions, their impulses (honor, piety, emotions), and the institutional and social frameworks for those actions (Order, city, family). The results of this micro-study will contribute to the current body of research in the field of religious women in the German-speaking parts in the southwestern area of the medieval Empire, as well as to the general discourse on female agency in the late Middle Ages.
