Connected Central European Worlds 1500

项目摘要

After the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Central Europe opened up to the scholarly community. A place of great economic power, 'Mitteleuropa' has been essential to European power-holders from Bismarck to the Merkel government. In its broadest conception, the region stretches from the Baltic to the Adriatic, and from the Rhine to the Danube. Encompassing among others today's Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Croatia, Central Europe is an area known for its vast cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity, political fragmentation, and multiple religious traditions, all undergoing constant transformations. In the early modern period, the region was just as diverse and no less connected, both internally and globally. As a crossroads for trade, culture, religion, diplomacy and war, this region is key to understanding cooperative and violent encounters in a newly globalising world between 1500 and 1700. The study of the connections of locations within the region in the early modern period and their connections with the wider world raises timely and important questions about the movement of goods, migration and borders. In the wake of recent events of international bearing, namely Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic, the need to understand the material nature of global connections and how it generates shared experiences and challenges has become more pressing. Trade negotiations around borders have been at the heart of Brexit albeit hidden beneath a layer of political identity posturing, and the movement of people, personal protective equipment and the virus itself around the world has shaped the daily lives of millions. This research Network will bring about a more deeply-rooted understanding of Central Europe that examines its longer history of material connectedness and breaks down what are primarily ideological borders in the region constructed in modern times. It acts as a prism for challenges faced across the globe.Since the 1990s there has been a return to the reification of nineteenth-century stereotypes that have distorted our understandings of the area. The image of Central Europe is of a sharply polarised region entrenched in insular national identities and politics. Simultaneously, working across the many borders in this region has become increasingly difficult. The study of Central Europe requires scholars to engage in the time-consuming acquisition of multiple language skills and undertake complex archival research across borders. A great deal of excellent research has been produced in recent years, but - reflecting the working conditions - it is still often disparate, fragmented and carried out in parallel. Consequently, studies of Central Europe often take on the character of disconnected regional histories in spite of underlying evidence of transcultural connections.The development of an international interdisciplinary Network comprising scholars in the humanities and museum professionals will enable connections to be made between areas of expertise and increase the value, connectedness and impact of participants' work. The key objectives are:1. To foster debate about methodological approaches that focus on objects and allow members to work towards producing research that draws on and speaks to disciplines beyond their primary fields. 2. To make concrete advances in the classification of objects by museum professionals with responsibility for looking after Central European collections. The Network will reshape narratives for modern audiences, who are currently confronted with problematic simplistic stories about their complex histories. 3. To examine the broader contexts of material connections across the region through organized events, website, e-newsletter and social media communications.4. To have impact beyond academia through a public history publication, social media presence and the production of a miniature exhibition in the form of a 'Museum in a Box.

1989年铁幕落下后，中欧向学术界开放。作为一个经济强国，“中欧”对从俾斯麦到默克尔政府的欧洲掌权者来说至关重要。从广义上讲，该地区从波罗的海延伸到亚得里亚海，从莱茵河延伸到多瑙河。中欧包括今天的德国、奥地利、捷克、斯洛伐克、匈牙利、波兰和克罗地亚，是一个以其巨大的文化、种族和语言多样性、政治分裂和多种宗教传统而闻名的地区，所有这些都在不断发生变化。在现代早期，该地区在国内和全球都同样多样化，联系也同样紧密。作为贸易、文化、宗教、外交和战争的十字路口，该地区是理解1500年至1700年之间新全球化世界中合作和暴力遭遇的关键。对现代早期区域内各地点之间的联系及其与更广阔世界的联系的研究提出了有关货物流动、移民和边界的及时和重要的问题。在英国脱欧和新型冠状病毒疫情等近期国际性事件发生后，了解全球联系的物质性质及其如何产生共同经验和挑战的需要变得更加迫切。围绕边境的贸易谈判一直是英国脱欧的核心，尽管它隐藏在一层政治身份姿态之下，而世界各地的人员流动、个人防护设备和病毒本身也塑造了数百万人的日常生活。该研究网络将带来对中欧的更深入的理解，研究其更长的物质连通历史，并打破该地区在现代构建的主要意识形态边界。它是地球仪所面临挑战的一面棱镜，自1990年代以来，又出现了将19世纪的陈规定型观念具体化的情况，这些观念扭曲了我们对该地区的理解。中欧的形象是一个严重两极分化的地区，在孤立的民族认同和政治中根深蒂固。与此同时，在该地区跨越许多边界开展工作变得越来越困难。中欧的研究需要学者从事多种语言技能的耗时收购，并进行跨境复杂的档案研究。近几年来进行了大量出色的研究，但反映工作条件的是，这些研究仍然往往是分散的、零散的和平行进行的。因此，中欧的研究往往呈现出地区历史脱节的特点，尽管有跨文化联系的潜在证据。发展一个由人文学者和博物馆专业人员组成的国际跨学科网络，将使专业领域之间建立联系，并提高参与者工作的价值、联系和影响。主要目标是：1.促进关于注重对象的方法论方法的辩论，并允许成员努力进行研究，借鉴和谈论其主要领域以外的学科。2.在负责管理中欧收藏品的博物馆专业人员对文物进行分类方面取得具体进展。该网络将重塑现代观众的叙事，他们目前面临着关于其复杂历史的有问题的简单化故事。3.通过有组织的活动、网站、电子通讯和社会媒体交流，研究整个区域物质联系的更广泛背景。通过公共历史出版物，社交媒体的存在和以“盒子里的博物馆”的形式制作微型展览，在学术界之外产生影响。
