In the period between 1603 and 1750 Great Britain experienced a series of crises, which –just as with Brexit today– challenged the nation to confront itself with questions about national identity. Against the background of numerous wars with European powers, artistic competition between Great Britain and the continent had strong political overtones. In addition, the period was characterized by fierce confessional conflicts. The research project, funded by the DFG since 2018, analyses how political and confessional conflicts were addressed in British art and architecture with reference to continental European models.As the applicant has dealt with issues related to the visual arts in the first part of the project, she would like to complete this work in the second period of the priority programme (SPP) by conducting a study of British architectural policy. This research addresses the search for a national style in British architecture, both sacred and profane, while the accompanying dissertation project undertakes a study of the construction of the early Stuart monarchs’ identity in the theatrical spectacles designed by court architect Inigo Jones (with particular reference to national and colonial self-image, representation of non-European cultures and gender roles). Each subproject will result in a monograph. The goal of the project is to provide a new understanding of three types of translation processes. Firstly, both subprojects study the translation into English of European architectural treatises and costume books and the underlying motivations of such transfers as expressed in the paratexts. Secondly, both subprojects are concerned with the reception of continental works of art and architecture in Great Britain and the specific changes and distinctions that can be observed in their translation into a British context. Thirdly, both subprojects examine the translation of political and confessional messages into a visual language and demonstrate the extent to which this process was guided by the rules of ancient rhetoric. The applicability of the concept of translation in the visual arts and architecture will also be the subject of the applicant’s chapter in the planned SPP handbook.Both subprojects will contribute to current debates on translation cultures of the early modern period by focusing on two areas the SPP has not yet addressed: architecture and theatre. Furthermore, each subproject can bring individual focal points into the work of the SPP. The dissertation project focuses on the aspects of gender and diversity, while the applicant's project encompasses the whole so-called “Baroque age” and is therefore particularly relevant to the analysis of the period concept proposed by the SPP.

在1603年至1750年期间，英国经历了一系列危机，就像今天的英国退欧一样，挑战国家面对国家认同问题。在与欧洲列强多次战争的背景下，英国与欧洲大陆之间的艺术竞争具有强烈的政治色彩。此外，这一时期的特点是激烈的教派冲突。该研究项目自2018年起由DFG资助，分析英国艺术和建筑如何参考欧洲大陆的模式来解决政治和宗教冲突。由于申请人在项目的第一部分中处理了与视觉艺术相关的问题，她希望通过对英国建筑政策进行研究，在优先方案的第二阶段完成这项工作。这项研究解决了在英国建筑，神圣和世俗的民族风格的搜索，而伴随的论文项目进行了早期斯图亚特王朝君主的身份在由法院建筑师伊尼戈·琼斯设计的戏剧眼镜的建设研究（特别是国家和殖民地的自我形象，非欧洲文化和性别角色的代表）。每个分项目将产生一个专题论文。该项目的目标是提供三种类型的翻译过程的新的理解。首先，这两个子项目研究了欧洲建筑论文和服装书籍的英译以及副文本中表达的这种转移的潜在动机。第二，这两个分项目都涉及欧洲大陆艺术和建筑作品在英国的接受情况，以及在将其翻译到英国环境中时可以观察到的具体变化和区别。第三，这两个分项目审查了将政治和宗教信息翻译成视觉语言的问题，并展示了这一过程在多大程度上受到古代修辞规则的指导。翻译概念在视觉艺术和建筑中的适用性也将是SPP计划手册中申请人章节的主题。这两个子项目将通过关注SPP尚未涉及的两个领域，为当前关于现代早期翻译文化的辩论做出贡献：建筑和戏剧。此外，每个次级项目都可以让个别协调人参与最高人民政策小组的工作。论文项目侧重于性别和多样性方面，而申请人的项目涵盖了整个所谓的“巴洛克时代”，因此与SPP提出的时期概念的分析特别相关。
