Writing Intercultural History of Christian Mission of the 19th and 20th Century: Concepts, Methods, and Politics. Reflections on a conception of an intercultural historiography of Christian mission in reference to postcolonial studies and critical whitene

我们该如何理解Andreas Nehring在“任务历史的终结”之后提出的挑衅性问题，我们该如何应对？！该项目关注的问题是如何概念化19世纪和20世纪的传教史学，以避免19世纪发展起来的（新）殖民历史主义，这种历史主义的影响一直持续到21世纪。国际、跨宗派和跨文化研究网络是指不同地区和全球视角下的跨文化史学概念，这些概念由参与者代表。他们的选择是基于他们带来的不同的信仰、文化和政治特征。“跨文化宣教史”史学的某些概念是时空现实过程的结果。他们正在实现个人和社会团体经历的宗教活动，并由16名网络同事自己反映和解释。任务将是将16位学术人士（世界范围的研究经验）联系在一起，他们是不同大学院系的经验丰富的成员，习惯于某些不同的历史编纂概念，在他们的研究和案例研究的地理领域，以及他们对跨文化使命史的宗派表达方面有所不同。这些项目的想法是利用这些资源，并在跨大陆/跨地区和跨学科的学术网络合资企业的元层面上将它们概念性地结合在一起。该项目由16位“基督教过去和存在的历史学家”代表，他们来自不同大陆、国家、基督教教派和特定的史学研究概念。焦点：我们如何理解“跨文化神学”与20世纪70年代第一次概念化的定义和发展之间的关系，并更全面地实施和发展它？目标：我们通过各种跨文化影响的方法和子概念来“重新定义”传教士史学的传统概念，我们希望通过采用跨学科的观点来获得这些概念，以便在适当的时候应用它们。结果：我们将为学生和老师制作一本“手册”，提供基督教使命史学可能性的例子，以及它们的机会和各自的限制所在。什么方法可以用来批判性地阅读和解释别人记录的“19世纪和20世纪的基督教宣教史”？这条路该如何追溯呢？

How shall we understand the critical of Andreas Nehring with his provoking question after an "end of mission history" and how should we react on it?! The project focuses on the question of how to conceptualize missionary historiography in the 19th and 20th centuries in order to avoid a (neo-)colonizing historicism that was developed in the 19th century and, influentially, has continued well into our 21st century. The international, interdenominational and intercultural research network refers to different regions and to concepts of intercultural historiography in a global perspective, which are represented by the participants. They were selected on the basis of the different confessional, cultural and political identities they bring with them. The certain concepts of a historiography of "intercultural mission history" is the result of processes in the reality of times and spaces. They are realizing experienced religious activities of individuals and social groups, reflected, and interpreted by the 16 networking colleagues themselves. The task will be to link together the 16 academic personalities (worldwide research-experiences), who are experienced members of various university faculties, used to certain different historiographical concepts, varying in their geographical fields of research and case-studies, and in their denominational expressions of an Intercultural History of Mission. The projects’ idea is to make use of these and bring them conceptionally together on a meta-level in a transcontinental / transregional and interdisciplinary joint venture of this academic network. The project is represented by 16 "historians of Christian past and presence" of various continental, national, Christian denominational, and specific historiographical concepts of research. The focus: How can we understand "intercultural theology" in relation to the definition and development of its first conceptualization in the 1970s and implement and develop it more comprehensively? The objective: We "re-define" the traditional concept of missionary historiography through various interculturally influenced methods and sub-concepts, which we want to acquire by adopting interdisciplinary perspectives in order to apply them where appropriate. The result: We will produce a "handbook" for students and teachers that will provide examples of the possibilities of the historiography of Christian mission, where their opportunities and respective limitations lie. What methods could be used to critically read and interpret the "History of Christian missions in the 19th and 20th centuries" recorded by others? How should ist trail be retraced?
