The research project makes a first fundamental contribution to the transnational historiography of folklore studies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In order to investigate the processes of professionalization and systematization of folklore research in an interconnected European space, the project (re-)constructs micro-historical units of analysis, so-called ‘transnational constellations’, as networks of actors, infrastructures, narratives, and epistemic orders. To conduct a historical analysis of such networks of action and communication with a focus on transnational knowledge practices, the project draws on constructivist situational analysis and combines it with the conceptual framework of histoire croisée/entangled history. In this conception, the project examines transnational processes of exchange in their relevance for the formation of folkloristic knowledge and practice, while also focusing on their interdependencies with social, political, scientific, and economic conditions that influenced (the diverse forms of institutionalization of) folklore studies on a local and regional scale. Three sets of questions are investigated in thick descriptions and multi-scalar analyses of transnational constellations. First, the project examines the motives, strategies, and socioeconomic and biographical preconditions of the actors whose relationships and knowledge practices transcended nation-state borders. Second, it elaborates on the sense-making narratives that served as instruments for the identification of interests and problems and determined the diverse forms of transnational work in folklore research. Third, it investigates the strategic positionings of disciplinary self-assertion and logics of regional and national institutionalization processes of folklore research in the context of transnational entanglements.The project’s goal of laying a foundation for a transnational historiography of folklore research (by means of scholarly articles, a monograph, a master's thesis, and several contributions to the project Bérose – Encyclopédie internationale des histoires de l'anthropologie) is complemented by its link back to debates on disciplinary history. In a scholarly workshop with a subsequent publication, ‘transnational folklore research’ will be discussed not only as a finding, but also as an interpretament, to reflect anew on legitimized modes of knowledge of disciplinary historiographies as well as disciplinary self-understandings associated with it, and to discuss (im)possibilities and potentials of a transnational/-regional/-cultural history of folklore studies.

该研究项目为19世纪末20世纪初民俗学研究的跨国史学做出了第一个基本贡献。为了研究在相互联系的欧洲空间中民俗学研究的专业化和系统化过程，该项目（重新）构建了微观历史分析单位，即所谓的“跨国星座”，作为演员，基础设施，叙事和认知秩序的网络。为了对这种行动和交流网络进行历史分析，重点是跨国知识实践，该项目借鉴了建构主义情境分析，并将其与histoire croisée/纠缠历史的概念框架相结合。在这一概念中，该项目考察了跨国交流过程与民俗知识和实践形成的相关性，同时也关注它们与影响（不同形式的制度化）的社会、政治、科学和经济条件的相互依赖性。地方和区域规模的民俗研究。三组问题进行了研究，在厚厚的描述和多尺度分析的跨国星座。首先，该项目研究的动机，战略，社会经济和传记的前提条件的行为者的关系和知识的做法超越民族国家的边界。第二，它阐述了作为确定利益和问题的工具，并决定了民俗学研究中跨国工作的多种形式的意义制造叙事。第三，考察了跨国纠葛背景下民俗学研究的学科自设的战略定位和区域与国家制度化进程的逻辑，为民俗学研究的跨国史学奠定基础（通过学术文章、专著、硕士论文、以及对项目Bérose - Encyclopédie internationale des histoires de l 'anthropologie的几项贡献）通过其与学科历史辩论的联系得到补充。在随后出版的学术研讨会上，“跨国民俗研究”将不仅作为一种发现，而且作为一种解释进行讨论，重新反思学科史学知识的合法化模式以及与之相关的学科自我理解，并讨论民俗研究的跨国/区域/文化史的可能性和潜力。
