Models of the Heroic in Military Self-Portrayals from 1756-1815 in German-French Comparison (D05*)

该项目旨在分析普通士兵和军官的自画像，除其他外，重点关注以下问题：1750年后，暴力经历越来越多地被解释为个人在战争中英雄化自我发现的一部分，这一理论在多大程度上是可信的？死亡和受伤的直接经历通常是如何处理的？在启蒙运动期间被压制的英雄战士的叛逆特征，在18世纪90年代再次变得突出，或者至少再次变得更容易描绘了？

The project aims to analyse self-portrayals of ordinary soldiers and of officers, focusing among other things on the following questions: To what extent is the theory plausible that experiences with violence are increasingly interpreted as part of a heroizing self-discovery of the individual in wars after 1750? How was the immediate experience with death and injury generally treated? Did the transgressive traits of the heroic warrior, which had been suppressed during the Enlightenment, again come to prominence in the 1790s or did they at least again become easier to portray?
