Spaces of action of early modern empressesEleonora Gonzaga (1598-1655) and Eleonora Gonzaga-Nevers (1628-1686)The research on early modern female rulers has made notable progress during the last years. One distinct group of princesses, namely the Roman Empresses, have been largely neglected. Focusing the examples of Eleonora the Elder Gonzaga (1598-1655) and Eleonora the Younger Gonzaga-Nevers (1628-1686), the research project systematically analyses the spaces of action of early modern Roman Empresses for the first time. Leaning on the concept of the ruling couple (Heide Wunder, Katrin Keller) the aim of the project, among others, is to answer the following questions: What were the preconditions and constellations under which the empresses appeared as political actors? Which were the spaces of their actions? To which spaces did their activities refer? How did they act? What were the results of their actions? We shall examine the patronage activities and the development of the empresses’ networks as well as their representations and influence in questions of war and peace.The two Gonzaga empresses, the second wife of Ferdinand II and the third wife of Ferdinand III, fit perfectly for this purpose, not least because of their long-lasting presence at the imperial court. Having occupied the different roles of empress consort, (step)mother, mother-in law, grandmother and widow, they are well-suited to survey such spaces of action that were equally open to many other empresses. In several respects, they can be supposed to have become prototypes of early modern empress-ship. At the same time, the two empresses show several characteristics, which render the analysis of their cases most promising. In addition, they were the first early modern empresses originating from Italy. Their example is therefore ideal to learn about the spaces of action open to early modern empresses due to their participation in processes of transfer and exchange. The research project pursues three concrete aims:a) A researcher (Hannes Alterauge) shall analyse the involvement of the two Empresses in the dynastic politics between Vienna and Mantua in a monographic study.b) In order to strengthen the interdisciplinary connectivity of the research project, an interdisciplinary workshop with the participation of specialists from several disciplines (e.g. musicology, art history and theatre studies) shall take place at half-time. c) The researcher in charge will present a monographic overview on the spaces of action of the two Gonzaga empresses.Thereby, the research project contributes to the integration of gender concepts into the general political history.

近代早期女性统治者的行为空间研究近年来，对近代早期女性统治者的研究取得了显著进展。有一群独特的公主，即罗马皇后，在很大程度上被忽视了。该研究项目以老冈萨加王后埃莉奥诺拉（1598-1655）和小冈萨加王后埃莉奥诺拉（1628-1686）为例，首次系统分析了近代早期罗马皇后的行为空间。以统治夫妇（Heide Wunder, Katrin Keller）的概念为基础，该项目的目的是回答以下问题：皇后作为政治角色出现的前提条件和格局是什么？哪些是他们行动的空间？他们的活动指向哪些空间？他们是怎么做的？他们行动的结果是什么？我们将研究赞助活动和皇后网络的发展，以及他们在战争与和平问题上的表现和影响。两位冈萨加皇后，费迪南德二世的第二任妻子和费迪南德三世的第三任妻子，完全符合这一目的，尤其是因为她们在宫廷里的长期存在。她们扮演过皇后、继母、岳母、祖母和寡妇的不同角色，非常适合调查这些对许多其他皇后同样开放的行动空间。在几个方面，它们可以被认为是早期现代皇后船的原型。同时，这两位皇后也表现出了一些特点，这使得对他们的案例的分析具有很大的前景。此外，她们是最早来自意大利的近代早期皇后。因此，他们的例子是学习早期现代皇后由于参与转移和交换过程而开放的行动空间的理想例子。该研究项目追求三个具体目标：a)研究人员（Hannes Alterauge）应在专题研究中分析两位皇后在维也纳和曼图亚之间的王朝政治中的参与。b)为了加强研究项目的跨学科联系，将在中场休息时间举办一个跨学科研讨会，由来自多个学科（如音乐学、艺术史和戏剧研究）的专家参加。c)负责的研究人员将对两个冈萨加皇后的行动空间进行专题综述。因此，该研究项目有助于将性别概念纳入一般政治史。
