The project examines official and unofficial attitudes towards migration in an early modern urban community. The city of Kamjanec in the south-eastern province of Podolia in the kingdom of Poland was a supra regional trading hub and at the same time an important fortress bordering the Ottoman Empire, Moldova and Crimea. The city was uniquely self-governed by a tripartite Armenian, Polish and Ruthenian magistrate, which exemplified the multifold structures of a migration society. The city’s location near the border and frequent armed conflicts in the region also led to the development of a common attitude against Ottomans and Tatars. The study sets in with the beginning of urban and regional records in the mid-16th century leading up to the time of the Ottoman occupation in 1672, which substantially changed the institutional and demographic framework. The project is led by the following questions: How are migrant populations positioned in a multipolar matrix of actors? How and with whom do they negotiate affiliations? Who sets up boundaries and implements them? Using an actor-centered approach, the study traces processes of communication and entanglement among urban actors against the background of their contacts with regional and territorial elites. Within the urban community these processes are important for outlining social hierarchies and managing conflicts but also for creating a sense of community against an outside threat. The project highlights the complexity of negotiations determining social order, regulating the modalities of being accepted into the community, and defining narratives of belonging. The study of transcultural entanglements serves as a key to understanding processes of society formation, therefore providing a methodologic contribution to the debates on migration and society well beyond the scope of the specific case study.

该项目考察了一个早期现代城市社区对移民的官方和非官方态度。位于波兰王国波多利亚省东南部的卡米亚内克市是一个超区域贸易中心，同时也是与奥斯曼帝国、摩尔多瓦和克里米亚接壤的重要要塞。这座城市由亚美尼亚、波兰和鲁塞尼亚三方行政长官进行自治，这是一个独特的例子，体现了移民社会的多重结构。该市靠近边界的位置和该地区频繁的武装冲突也导致了对土库曼人和鞑靼人的共同态度的发展。这项研究从世纪中期的城市和区域记录开始，直到1672年奥斯曼帝国占领，这大大改变了制度和人口框架。该项目以下列问题为主导：移民人口在多极行为者矩阵中的地位如何？他们如何以及与谁谈判加入？谁来设定边界并加以实施？本研究采用以行动者为中心的方法，追踪城市行动者与区域和领土精英接触的背景下，他们之间的沟通和纠缠过程。在城市社区内，这些过程对于勾勒社会等级和管理冲突非常重要，而且对于创造一种抵御外部威胁的社区意识也非常重要。该项目强调了决定社会秩序、规范被社区接受的方式和界定归属叙述的谈判的复杂性。对跨文化纠缠的研究是理解社会形成过程的关键，因此为关于移徙和社会的辩论提供了方法论上的贡献，远远超出了具体案例研究的范围。
