The invention of Tradition: Kyiv Metropolia in search of the way between Rome, Constantinople, Wittenberg, Warsaw and Moscow (1596-1720)

16世纪末至18世纪初是乌克兰历史上一个特别重要的时期。受各种宗教和政治中心的影响，基辅知识分子被迫宣布独立的乌克兰教会传统。因此，在16世纪末和整个世纪，基辅的史学、圣徒传和论战传统继续着“发明”的过程，然而，隐藏在特殊的修辞手法和叙事结构背后，宣告着向“古代”的回归和原始来源。该研究项目的主要目标是研究知识分子的战略与基辅等级制度的反应，以外部政治，神学和智力的影响。它询问了基辅的神职精英为了阐明自己的传统而采取了什么想法和做法，以及在政治宣言、辩论、史学和圣徒传著作中驳斥或根本忽视了哪些想法。联合教会和东正教会的平行“传统发明”为比较曾经统一的基辅大都市的两个部分的这一过程提供了重要材料。该项目的任务不仅是突出乌克兰教会状况的特殊性，而且还将研究结果归类到泛欧洲背景下。因此，在第二步中，我们将询问来自基辅的推动力是否以及在多大程度上影响了欧洲的宗教和文化中心。为了实现该项目的目标，在五个检查级别上分析了政治宣言，辩论，历史和圣徒传来源以及神职人员的图书馆藏书。方法论包括比较方法、神学解释学方法、历史重构与解构方法以及权力合法化概念。为了将研究结果定位于泛欧洲的语境中，本文使用了近代早期欧洲的忏悔化、记忆场所和国家建设等概念

The period from the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 18th century is an epoch of special importance in the Ukrainian history. Influenced by various religious and political centers, Kyiv intellectuals were forced to declare an independent Ukrainian Church tradition. Thus, at the end of the 16th and throughout the 17th century continued a process of "invention" of the Kyiv historiographical, hagiographic and polemical tradition that, however, was hidden behind the special rhetorical tricks and narrative constructions and proclaimed as the return to the "ancient times" and the original sources.The main objective of the research project is to examine the intellectual strategies with which the Kyiv hierarchy reacted to the external political, theological and intellectual influences. It asks what ideas and practices were taken up by Kyiv clerical elite in order to articulate the own tradition and which ideas were refuted or simply ignored in the political declarations, polemical, historiographical and hagiographic writings. The parallel "invention of Tradition" in the United and Orthodox Churches provides an important material for comparing this process in both parts of the once-unified Kyiv Metropolia.The task of the project is not only to highlight the peculiarity of the Ukrainian ecclesiastical situation, but also to classify the results of the study into a pan-European context. Therefore, in a second step, it will be asked whether and to what extent impulses emanated from Kyiv, have influenced the European religious and cultural centers.In order to achieve the goal of the project, political declarations, polemical, historical and hagiographic sources as well as the library collections of the clergy are analyzed on five examination levels. The methodology consists of the comparative, theological-hermeneutic methods, historical reconstruction and deconstruction, and the concept of the legitimation of power. In order to locate the results of the study in a pan-European context, the concepts of confessionalization, places of memory and nation building in early modern Europe are used
