The region of Cyrenaica covers the entire eastern part of Libya, and alongside Tripolitania in the west and Fezzan in the south forms one of the three major regions of the country. Since 2011 Cyrenaica has witnessed the often violent competition between a number of different political models and practices (state-like, tribal, Islamic, jihadist, federalist, and separatist). In addition, controversial discourses about history, identity, and the role of Cyrenaica within Libya have emerged, and a quest for reliable and legitimate forms of conflict resolution is currently taking place. Against the background of the ongoing civil war in Libya, Cyrenaica has been characterized as the adversary camp of the internationally recognized government in Tripolitania. However, despite such a categorization there is little current empirical research about the region. This project will fill this gap. Using a collaborative research approach combining the work of a German ethnologist and a Libyan political scientist, the project will explore four interconnected thematic fields: 1. Politics in Cyrenaica: State, Non-state and Political Economy; 2. The Making of Identity in Cyrenaica; 3. Politics, Practices and Understandings of Justice; and 4. Ethical and Methodological Challenges for Research in Danger Zones. Gender is a crosscutting theme in all fields and will thus allow us to reach beyond the prevailing male bias (i.e. towards male activism and practices) in research on the region. The project will deliver academic insights of practical relevance about the renegotiation of the post-independence order in a neglected historical region of Libya.

昔兰尼加地区覆盖整个利比亚东部，与西部的的黎波里塔尼亚和南部的费赞一起构成该国的三个主要地区之一。自2011年以来，昔兰尼加见证了许多不同政治模式和做法（国家、部落、伊斯兰、圣战、联邦主义和分离主义）之间经常发生的暴力竞争。此外，关于历史、身份和昔兰尼加在利比亚的作用的争议性话语也出现了，目前正在寻求可靠和合法的冲突解决方式。在利比亚持续内战的背景下，昔兰尼加被定性为的黎波里塔尼亚国际公认政府的敌对阵营。然而，尽管有这样的分类，目前对该区域的实证研究很少。该项目将填补这一空白。该项目采用合作研究方法，结合德国民族学家和利比亚政治学家的工作，将探索四个相互关联的主题领域：1。昔兰尼加的政治：国家、非国家和政治经济学; 2。在昔兰尼加身份的形成; 3。政治、司法实践和司法理解; 4.危险地带研究的伦理和方法挑战。性别是所有领域的一个交叉主题，因此将使我们能够超越对该地区研究中普遍存在的男性偏见（即男性的积极性和做法）。该项目将提供有关利比亚被忽视的历史地区独立后秩序重新谈判的实际意义的学术见解。
