Revolution on the Mediterranean. A South European History of the Greek War of Independence 1821.

这个项目的目的是在西地中海同时发生的革命运动的背景下调查1821年的希腊独立战争，这场运动首次质疑了1815年维也纳会议建立的欧洲复兴秩序。人们感兴趣的焦点首先是跨区域流动周期和群体和个人网络，这些群体和个人在拿破仑战争期间充当革命潜力的接受者和倍增者，并在19世纪20年代革命潜力的急剧表现中发挥了决定性作用。在此背景下，政治动员机制以及不断发展的媒体公众的动态及其对国家经营行动的影响被研究。感兴趣的焦点还包括在阐明政治目标、合法化战略、特别是在革命性宪法话语背景下建立国家机构方面的思想交流和转移现象。随后，研究了这些过程在东南欧和地中海东部的进一步区域影响。通过这种方式，将对研究作出贡献，克服公认的国家史学观点和以欧洲为中心的观点，并将希腊独立战争在开始200年后纳入(跨)地中海交织的“革命时代”历史。

The aim of this project is to investigate the Greek War of Independence of 1821 in the context of the contemporaneous revolutionary movements in the western Mediterranean, which questioned for the first time the European Restoration Order created by the Congress of Vienna of 1815. The focus of interest is first on transregional mobility cycles and networks of groups and individuals who in the period of the Napoleonic Wars acted as recipients as well as multipliers of revolutionary potentials and played a decisive role in their acute manifestation in the 1820s. In this context, mechanisms of political mobilization as well as dynamics of evolving media publics and their impacts on state-run action are examined. The focus of interest is also on phenomena of exchange and transfer of ideas with regard to the articulation of political goals, to legitimation strategies and, in particular, to the formation of institutions of statehood in the context of revolutionary constitutional discourses. Subsequently, the further regional impacts of these processes in southeastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean are examined. By this way, a contribution to research is to be made, that overcomes well established national-historiographical and Euro-centric perspectives and integrates the Greek war of Independence two hundred years after its beginning into an (trans-)Mediterranean intertwined history of the “Age of Revolutions”.
