Xenocracy and cultural entanglement in Hellenistic Greece and Egypt

该项目探讨了古代非殖民统治的深层行政结构，采用了以下比较研究方法：a）追踪非殖民统治及其在不同社会实践领域的行为者;以及B）不同行为者和个人群体对外来性的看法，以及权力行使的去稳定化后果。我们考察了两个领域，即希腊化时期的希腊和托勒密时期的埃及，这两个国家在不同的时间段经历了从一个外国统治到另一个外国统治的无缝过渡;这两个领域都从希腊化时期的君主国进入了罗马的君主国：希腊在公元前世纪，埃及在公元前1世纪。沿着这些转变，外来性的感知和意义都发生了深刻的变化。子项目A衡量希腊化时期希腊城市中的异族统治的变化，而子项目B则通过历时的社会历史调查，追溯战略办公室在希腊罗马埃及行政管理中的作用和重要性。这两个子项目的目的是检查，在密切的对话，彼此，仇外的轨迹都感知和praxeologically，即，它们不仅从单纯行使权力的角度来处理仇外结构，而且还围绕着对外国性的认识和归属的角度。在这种情况下，他们还探讨了在去/稳定的排外统治的背景下的外国性的概念。

The project explores the deep administrative structures of xenocracy in antiquity, pursuing the following avenues of comparative examination: a) the tracing of xenocratic rule as well as its actors in different arenas of social practice; and b) the perception of foreignness within different groups of actors and persons and the de-/stabilizing consequences for the exercise of power. Two areas of investigation are under examination, Hellenistic Greece and Ptolemaic Egypt, which, at different moments in time, experienced a seamless transition from one foreign rule to another; both realms went from the fold of the Hellenistic monarchies into that of Rome: Greece in the second century BCE, Egypt in the first. Along with these transitions, both the perception and meaning of foreignness underwent deep alterations. Subproject A gauges the change of xenocratic rule in the cities of Hellenistic Greece, while subproject B traces the role and importance of the office of strategos in the administration of Graeco-Roman Egypt by means of a diachronic, sociohistorical investigation. Both subprojects are designed to examine, in close conversation with one another, xenocratic trajectories both perceptually and praxeologically, i.e., they address xenocratic structures not only from the perspective of a mere exercise of power; rather, they revolve around the perspectives of perception and attribution of foreignness. In this vein, they also explore the notion of foreignness in the context of de-/stabilizing xenocratic rule.
