Xenocracy has to be considered a widespread case of domination in early modern Europe, given the bellicity of the era. So far, this phenomenon has been discussed for European dominions primarily from the perspective of the centers of power as an element of state-building processes or in the context of the emergence and expansion of composite monarchies. What remains open, however, is how xenocracy and the changed relations of rule in the new 'provinces' were mediated, legitimized, and perceived: By whom were ascriptions of foreignness thematized, in what way, and for how long? How did administration function on the ground under such conditions, and what significance did the administration and its actors have for the establishment, maintenance, and transformation of xenocracy?This is where the planned TP comes in and examines these questions for a typical situation of xenocracy as a result of wars in the European context: the Swedish rule over parts of Pomerania, which fell to Sweden as a fief with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. With an interdisciplinary, historiographical and art-historical approach, this constellation of xenocracy (1.) will be examined to determine in which situations of administrative action or the actions of various actors strangeness was used as a category of difference in order to create (new) distinctions or when this was precisely not the case. Based on this, (2.) it should be clarified to what extent this changed over time: Did certain ascriptions of otherness successively lose their significance in mutual perception? Can processes of de-xenocratization be detected? And what effects did this have on the exercise of local rule? Finally, (3.) the mediation, legitimation, and perception of xenocratic rule in the ruled provinces will be investigated in different media, ranging from supplications and petitions to images and burial rites to monumental architecture and its decoration.

鉴于那个时代的好战性，异族统治必须被视为近代早期欧洲普遍存在的统治案例。到目前为止，这一现象主要是从权力中心作为国家建设过程的一个要素的角度来讨论的，或者是在复合君主制的出现和扩张的背景下。然而，尚待解决的问题是，在新的“行省”中，异族统治和改变的统治关系是如何被调解、合法化和感知的：外国人的归因是由谁主旋律化的，以何种方式，持续多久？在这种情况下，行政当局是如何运作的？行政当局及其行为者对异族政治的建立、维持和转变有什么重要意义？这就是计划中的TP的切入点，它将这些问题作为欧洲背景下战争导致的异族统治的典型情况进行研究：瑞典对波美拉尼亚部分地区的统治，在1648年威斯特伐利亚和约中作为封地落入瑞典手中。通过跨学科、史学和艺术史的方法，我们将对这种异种政治(1)进行研究，以确定在哪些情况下，行政行为或各种行为者的行为中，陌生感被用作差异的一种类别，以创造（新的）区别，或者在什么情况下恰恰不是这样。在此基础上，(2)应该澄清的是，随着时间的推移，这种情况发生了多大程度的变化：在相互感知中，某些对他者的归属是否先后失去了意义？去异种化的过程能被发现吗？这对地方统治的实施有什么影响？最后，(3)在被统治的省份中，对异族统治的调解、合法化和感知将在不同的媒体上进行调查，从恳求和请愿到图像和葬礼，再到纪念性建筑及其装饰。
