In recent studies local forms of collective identification are explored in a global perspective. They are scrutinized in their relation to regional and national (and imperial) forms of identification. Scholarship of the last fifteen years suggests that national, regional and local identities continued to exist simultaneously, overlapping and contrasting with one another in complex ways but it remains difficult to set up an analytical framework to research these processes.The aim of the project to discuss such a framework. On the basis of the extensive research on the German concept of "Heimat", which identified its forms, contents, institutions, protagonists and visualisations, a model can be described to recognize similar processes in non-German societies. However, the concept of “Heimat” needs to be reconsidered as one form of spatial identity in relation to nationalism and globalization as a condition to reconcile the differing identities creating the multiple identities which seem to be the norm in societies and political entities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A growing body of local and regional studies has already shown that such processes were by no means a German Sonderweg (similar discourses unfolded in the United Kingdom/British Empire referring to "home"/"Homeland" in Spain to "tierruca" or "terruño", or in France to "petite patrie", just to name but a few examples). In sociological and cultural anthropological research even the German concept of “Heimat” is described as a universal concept. In this view, the project suggests to develop a descriptive tool which allows analysing similar movements in modernising societies.The development of the amateur photography movement around 1900 serves as an example. This movement unfolded in local contexts but understood itself as a national and even transnational movement. Photography contributed massively to the visualisations of the local as of the national (and imperial) and popularized them. It contributed also to the iconography of the local which manifested itself not only in the contemporary media but in postcards.Thus the project develops a new perspective on local, national and global forms of collective identification in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The example reviews the capacities of this perspective.

在最近的研究中，地方形式的集体认同是从全球的角度来探讨的。它们在与区域和国家（以及帝国）身份认同形式的关系中受到仔细审查。过去15年的学术研究表明，国家、区域和地方身份继续同时存在，以复杂的方式相互重叠和对比，但仍然很难建立一个分析框架来研究这些过程。在对德国的“Heimat”概念进行广泛研究的基础上，查明了其形式、内容、机构、主角和形象，可以描述一个模式，以确认非德国社会的类似进程。然而，“Heimat”的概念需要重新考虑，作为与民族主义和全球化有关的一种空间认同形式，作为调和不同认同的一个条件，创造了似乎是十九世纪和二十世纪社会和政治实体的规范的多重认同。越来越多的地方和区域研究已经表明，这些进程绝不是德国的“特殊道路”（在联合王国/大英帝国，类似的话语在西班牙被称为“tierruca”或“terruño”，在法国被称为“petite patrie”，这里仅举几个例子）。在社会学和文化人类学研究中，甚至德国的“Heimat”概念也被描述为一个普遍的概念。从这个角度来看，该项目建议开发一种描述性工具，以便分析现代化社会中的类似运动。1900年左右业余摄影运动的发展就是一个例子。这场运动在当地展开，但将自己理解为一场国家甚至跨国运动。摄影极大地促进了地方的形象化，使之成为国家（和帝国）的形象化，并使之普及。该项目还促进了当地的形象学，这种形象不仅体现在当代媒体上，而且体现在明信片上，因此，该项目为十九世纪和二十世纪的地方、国家和全球集体认同形式提供了一个新的视角。这个例子回顾了这个视角的能力。
