The Venetian Army on Ottoman Soil 1684-1718. Translocalisation, Experience of War, Transculturation

该项目的目的仍然是调查和再现威尼斯军队士兵在奥斯曼帝国达尔马提亚、阿尔巴尼亚和希腊地区的战争经历，他们在1684年至1699年和1715年至1718年的两次莫雷亚战争中征服、占领并再次失去了这些地区。与其他形式一样，军事形式的机动不仅是起点和终点之间的联系。它还包括跨越空间以及由此产生的跨地域和跨文化化过程。将军事机动性分析为“跨文化纠缠”的方法已被证明是富有成效的，因此将在项目的第二阶段进行。研究将在两个层面上进行，这对应于两种不同类型的来源：一方面，有来自威尼斯和招募的军事精英代表（从军官学员以上）的生活著述。这些迄今被研究忽视的文件已被证明是更深入地分析军事机动性和相互依赖性的特殊资料。个别例子表明，士兵们如何将他们对与奥斯曼人和奥斯曼帝国本身的战争的想法与现有的现实进行比较，以及他们与自己和外国军队的“同事”以及被征服领土上的“当地人”的互动和合作模式如何发生变化。在种族和宗教不同的威尼斯军队中，以及在两个敌对阵营的军队之间以及与“第三”欧洲大国之间，军事经验和军事知识的生产和跨文化转移也将使用该材料进行审查。另一方面，在项目的第一阶段，以前不为人知的威尼斯军事管理被征服领土的文件被本地化。这些由国家当局提供的资料，在一定程度上取代了威尼斯普通民众缺失的生活记录。因此，为该项目第一阶段制订的意图，即尽可能多地捕捉士官和普通士兵生活的各个方面，应该继续下去。这适用于日常生活，从征兵到前往战区、驻军、营地和外勤服务、住宿和与平民（包括妇女）的其他接触，简而言之，包括对战斗和暴力、遗弃和囚禁、返乡或疾病、受伤和死亡的经历、解释和处理。

Aim of the project remains the investigation and representation of the war experience of the soldiers of the Venetian army in the Ottoman regions of Dalmatia, Albania and Greece, which they conquered, occupied and largely lost again in the two Morea Wars 1684-1699 and 1715-1718. As with other forms, military forms of mobility do not only represent a link between departure and end point. It also includes crossing spaces and the resulting processes of translocalization and transculturalization. The approach of analyzing military mobility as "transcultural entanglement" has proven fruitful and will therefore be pursued in the second phase of the project.The study will be carried out on two levels, which correspond to two different types of sources:On the one hand, there are life-writings from Venetian and recruited representatives of the military elite (from officer cadet upwards). These documents - so far neglected by research - have proven to be exceptional sources for a more in-depth analysis of military mobility and interdependencies. Individual examples show how the soldiers compared their ideas of the war against the Ottomans and the Ottoman Empire itself with the existing reality and how their patterns of interaction and cooperation with "colleagues" of their own and foreign armies and "locals" in conquered territories changed. Production and intercultural transfers of military experience and military knowledge within the ethnically and religiously heterogeneous Venetian army, as well as between the armies of the two hostile camps and with "third" European powers, will also be examined using this material.On the other hand, previously unknown files of the Venetian military administration of the conquered territories were localized in the first phase of the project. These sources by state authorities, to a certain extent replace missing life-writings from Venetian rank and file. The intention formulated for the first phase of the project, to capture as many aspects of the life of non-commissioned officers and ordinary soldiers as possible, should therefore be continued. This applies to everyday life, from recruiting to the way to the theater of war, garrison, camp and field service, billeting and other encounters with the civilian population (including women) and, in a nutshell, experiences, interpretations and processing of combat and violence, desertion and captivity, homecoming or illness, injury and death.
