This project is thematically and historically affiliated to the current research project Undetermined Baroque Poetry. Poetic and Confessional Ambiguity in Silesia as Cultural Dynamic Factors of a New German Poetry (1620-1742), and widens its focus in a twofold regard. On the one hand, by taking literary reflections on Islam into account, the range of interest moves from the dimension of inner-Christian confessional differences to those between the two major religious groups. Hence, the focus will be on the differentiation between Islam and Christianity. On the other hand, the ambiguity of 'the Turkish' as a construction of a foreign culture emphasizes phenomena of both religious and ethnic difference. The fundamental stance in researching the question of ambiguity will be the scaling between the threats of and fascination with all things Turkish. The prevailing early-modern concept of the Turkish enemy will be considered against historical perspectives of intercultural amazement. While up to now the scientific point of interest is historically based in the Baroque epoch, the follow up-project will expand into the 16th as well as the 18th century. The textual corpus comprises under-researched literary narrative pieces in early modern descriptions of and reflections on the Turkish. The analysis will zoom in on particular fictional genres, such as the novel and the epic poem, as well as on functional texts (esp. travel literature, pamphlets, broadsheets and periodicals), which portray factual reality in a narrative shape ('Wirklichkeitserzählungen'), according to coeval concepts of reality. These genres will be surveyed in a comparative approach.

这个项目在主题和历史上都隶属于目前的研究项目--未确定的巴洛克诗歌。西里西亚的诗歌和忏悔性歧义是德国新诗(1620-1742)的文化动力因素，并从两个方面拓宽了研究的范围。一方面，通过考虑对伊斯兰教的文学反思，兴趣的范围从基督教内部忏悔分歧的维度转移到两个主要宗教群体之间的差异。因此，重点将放在伊斯兰教和基督教之间的区别上。另一方面，“土耳其人”作为一种外来文化建构的模糊性强调了宗教和种族差异的现象。研究模糊性问题的基本立场将是在土耳其的威胁和对一切事物的迷恋之间进行权衡。我们将从跨文化惊叹的历史视角来考虑土耳其敌人这一盛行的早期现代概念。虽然到目前为止，科学兴趣点在历史上是基于巴洛克时代的，但后续项目将扩展到16世纪和18世纪。文本语料库包括早期现代对土耳其人的描述和反思中研究不足的文学叙事作品。分析将聚焦于特定的小说体裁，如小说和史诗，以及功能文本(特别是。旅游文学、小册子、大报和期刊)，根据同时代的现实概念，以叙事的形式描绘现实(Wirklichkeitserzählugen)。这些体裁将以比较的方式进行调查。
