Bohemian Identity Formation, 1620-1740

我的研究将集中于波希米亚身份在后白山时期谈判的方式。它将不把身份形成视为一个孤立的、内向的辩论，而是将其视为一个在宗教、政治、知识和文化领域具有更广泛影响的问题，并将其视为一个在整个欧洲进行讨论的问题。在这一时期，许多先前存在的关于身份的学术研究都带有共产主义时代意识形态的强烈印记，自1989年以来，我将重点关注的作者的研究很少。此外，关于早期现代波西米亚身份的讨论倾向于主要关注文本来源，尽管事实上建筑、仪式和视觉描绘对这种辩论至关重要。目前的学术研究主要集中在波西米亚式的陈述，关于什么是波西米亚风格；然而，哈布斯堡家族，泛哈布斯堡贵族，以及来自欧洲大陆的学者和作家也参与了这种身份形成。因此，我的研究旨在重新定义波西米亚身份，这不是一个孤立的、纯粹的波西米亚问题，而是一个对整个欧洲有更广泛影响的谈判，并揭示了这一时期的宗教、知识分子和文化辩论。

My research will focus on the ways in which Bohemian identities were negotiated in the post-White Mountain period. It will consider identity-formation not as an isolated and inward-looking debate, but rather as a question with wider consequences in the religious, political, intellectual, and cultural spheres, and as a question that was discussed across Europe. Much of the previously-existing scholarship on identity in this period bears strong marks of the Communist-era ideology, and there have been very few studies of the authors I will focus on since 1989. Moreover, discussions of early modern Bohemian identity have tended to look primarily at textual sources, despite the fact that architecture, ceremonial, and visual depictions were crucial to such debates. Current scholarship has focused on Bohemian statements of what Bohemian-ness could be; yet the Habsburgs, the pan-Habsburg nobility, and scholars and writers from across the continent were also involved in this identity-formation. My research therefore aims to reconceptualise Bohemian identity as a questionthat wasn't insular and purely Bohemian, but rather as a negotiation that had wider implications for Europe as a whole and that sheds light religious, intellectual, and cultural debates of the period.
