The issue of who should own land is one of the core questions across social, economic and political systems around the globe. For proprietors, land can guarantee subsistence, but also social status. For modern states, on the other hand, the ability to control land tenure (and agricultural production) has become increasingly linked to national sovereignty. Projects of land redistribution aim to deepen the relationship between the rural population and the state by shaping social identities and providing legitimacy to the state. For this reason, land distribution and land reform play a crucial role in revolutions and political upheavals. Land reforms have therefore become a measure of democratisation, economic empowerment and social integration. The project 'Subjectivities of Owning Land' investigates the extent to which successive projects of land redistribution have shaped the history of the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) throughout the 20th century and have contributed to a very specific relationship between society and state. It brings the land reforms of the interwar nation states that emerged after the collapse of the Russian Empire and the privatisation after the breakup of the Soviet Union into a common frame. The land reforms of the interwar period and privatisation in the 1990s played a central political and economic role for state-building and for the integration into a new international order. Both were closely intertwined, as the privatisation of the Baltic States, which became independent in 1991, explicitly used the interwar land reforms as reference points and blueprints. The project focuses on the highly transformative project of land redistribution of both eras through an interdisciplinary analytical framework that focuses on subjectivities to examine the long-term effects on societies. It examines how uncertainty concerning the future of property norms shaped projects of land redistribution, how land redistribution changed concepts of the self, individuals, families and gender roles, communities and societies, and thus shaped identities, but also loyalties. The project aims to strengthen the strategic partnership of the Herder Institute and the University of Birmingham by bringing together leading academic expertise and unique archival collections on Baltic history. The team will work closely with project partners in the Baltic States. Through its complex transfer strategy, a series of workshops and visiting fellowships, the project outcomes will be of sustained significance for a broad range of scholarly disciplines and audiences.

谁应该拥有土地的问题是全球社会，经济和政治体系中的核心问题之一。对于所有人来说，土地可以保证生存，但也可以保证社会地位。另一方面，对于现代国家而言，控制土地权限（和农业生产）的能力已经越来越与国家主权联系在一起。土地重新分配的项目旨在通过塑造社会身份并为国家提供合法性来加深农村人口与国家之间的关系。因此，土地分配和土地改革在革命和政治动荡中起着至关重要的作用。因此，土地改革已成为民主化，赋予经济权力和社会融合的衡量标准。 “拥有土地的主观性”项目调查了整个20世纪波罗的海国家（爱沙尼亚，拉脱维亚和立陶宛）的历史的程度，并为社会与国家之间的关系做出了贡献。它带来了两次世界大战国家的土地改革，这些国家在俄罗斯帝国崩溃后出现了，苏联分解后的私有化是一个共同的框架。在1990年代，战争期间和私有化的土地改革在国家建设以及融入一个新的国际秩序的中心政治和经济作用上发挥了中心作用。两者都紧密地交织在一起，因为波罗的海国家的私有化在1991年变得独立，明确地将两次战地改革用作参考点和蓝图。该项目的重点是通过跨学科分析框架的两种时代土地重新分布的高度变革性项目，该框架着重于主观性，以检查对社会的长期影响。它研究了有关财产规范未来的不确定性，塑造了土地再分配的项目，土地再分配如何改变自我，个人，家庭和性别角色，社区和社会的概念，从而塑造了身份，也塑造了忠诚度。该项目旨在通过将领先的学术专业知识和独特的波罗的海历史档案收藏汇集在一起​​，以加强牧民研究所和伯明翰大学的战略合作伙伴关系。该团队将与波罗的海国家的项目合作伙伴紧密合作。通过其复杂的转移策略，一系列的研讨会和访问奖学金，该项目成果对于广泛的学科和受众群体将具有持续的意义。
