Early modern multi-denominationalism "East" vs. "West"? A comparative analysis on the Ottoman Empire and Venice in the 17th and 18th centuries.

该项目的目的是对17世纪和18世纪奥斯曼帝国和威尼斯王国的多教派现象进行比较研究，重点是东正教基督徒和犹太人作为具有合法少数民族地位的教派社区，尽管在经济和人口统计学上很重要。第一个关注的焦点是东南欧-地中海重叠地区宗教异质性制度框架的发展，其中涉及帝国统治战略框架中的整合和隔离机制，跨教派互动的范围以及交流空间的交织。第二个关注的焦点是作为历史常数的多教派主义对宗教社区本身的追溯影响，这涉及到各自知识文化的接触区域，边界的越界和废除，宗教危机和破裂，自我和他者观念的发展，从而形成宗教身份，这些都是在忏悔过程方面进行审查的。从更广泛的意义上讲，社会历史与话语分析方法的方法论结合旨在提高对近代以来多教派主义现象的理解，以及它在更广泛的欧洲文化历史背景中的位置。

The aim of the project is a comparative research of the phenomenon of multi-denominationalism in the Ottoman and Venetian realms during the 17th and 18th centuries focusing on Orthodox Christians and Jews as denominational communities with legal minority status although economically and demographically important. The first focus of interest concerns the development of the institutional framework of religious heterogeneinty in this southeast-european-mediterranean overlap-region, which involves the mechanisms of integration and segregation in the framework of imperial ruling strategies, the scope of trans-denominational interaction as well as the interweaving of communication spaces. The second focus of interest concerns the retroactive effects of multi-denominationalism as a historical constant on the religious communities themselves, which involves contact zones of the respective cultures of knowledge, transgressions and abolitions of boundaries, religious crises and breaks, the development of perceptions of self and otherness and thus the shaping of religious identities which are examined under the aspect of confessionalization processes. The methodological combination of an, in a wider sense, socio-historical with an discourse-analytical approach aims at an improved understanding of the phenomenon of multi-denominationalism since early modern times and its location in a broader context of european cultural history.
