Confessional Minorities as a Security Problem in the Early Modern Era (B03)

该项目侧重于宗教在早期、现代、多宗教和多教派社会中充满冲突的作用。它所依据的假设是，自白的少数群体和教派冲突本身并不构成安全威胁，只是在某些条件下的论述过程中才成为安全威胁。从这一假设出发，本项目以伊丽莎白一世统治下的英国天主教徒、奥斯曼帝国的基督徒以及18世纪波兰-立陶宛联邦的东正教和新教为例，从比较的角度分析了外部干预背景下宗教少数群体的证券化。

The project focuses on the conflict-laden role of religion in early modern multireligious and multi-confessional societies. It is based on the assumption that confessional minorities and denominational conflicts themselves were not a security threat but only became a security threat over the course of discursive processes under certain conditions. Starting from this assumption, the project analyzes – in a comparative perspective – the securitization of religious minorities in the context of external interventions by taking the example of the English catholics under Elizabeth I, the christians in the Ottoman Empire, and the orthodox and protestants in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 18th century.
