Mission, Gender, Emotion in a transkonfessional Perspective

历史研究中日益增长的全球维度也触及了基督教传教领域。为从性别角度研究耶稣会和新教海外传教士的情感实践而建立的网络为解决德国史学中的三个研究愿望提供了完美的机会。一方面，将促进仍然缺乏关于使团历史的性别历史(1)，另一方面，将从全球角度将情感史学扩展到欧洲以外(2)，第三，将通过系统的问题将非欧洲使团跨越教派界限汇聚在一起(3)。一个战略目标是将选定主题领域的德语研究与国际研究联系起来，并在国际层面上开展交流。将建立一个讲德语的10人网络，由具有耶稣会和新教研究经验的同等人数的人组成。被指定为该网络联合负责人的Ulrike Strasser将担任美国研究界的联系人。计划于2022年9月开始在沃尔芬布特尔举行的五次工作会议应该会导致一份合作手册的出版。2023年6月的第二次会议，应邀请8名国际知名同行进行密集交流。为了实现网络研究的跨宗教层面的要求，该项目最初将集中于17世纪和18世纪的耶稣会和新教传教士。天主教传教中的时间限制和对耶稣会的关注应放在这一新传教秩序的全球层面的背景下来理解，这使得能够从系统的角度与17世纪末才出现的全球新教传教进行比较。这两个传教士运动都是自称是其教派内最具影响力的复兴力量之一，它们不仅在向欧洲转移知识方面制定了类似的中间和情感战略，而且在相互竞争的影响的基础上采取了各自的做法。忏悔的比较观点将通过系统的问题来实现，这将使人们能够综合忏悔情感做法和效果的异同。每个规划的主题建筑群都将由一名耶稣会成员和一名具有新教研究经验的人组成。该手册将于2025年出版。

The growing global dimension in the historical research has also reached the field of Christian mission. The foundation of a network for the study of emotional practices in Jesuit and Protestant overseas missions from a gender perspective offers perfect opportunities to address three research desiderata in the German historiography. On the one hand, a still lacking gender history of the mission history will be promoted (1), on the other hand, the historiography of emotions will be extended beyond Europe in a global perspective (2), and thirdly, the non-European missions will be brought together across denominational boundaries via systematic questions (3). A strategic goal is to connect German-language research in the chosen topic area to international research and to initiate an exchange on an international level. A German-speaking 10-member network will be established, consisting of equal numbers of persons with Jesuit and Protestant research experience. Ulrike Strasser, who is designated as co-leader of the network, will serve as contact person to the U.S. research community. The planned five working meetings in Wolfenbüttel beginning in September 2022 should lead to a collaborative handbook publication. For the second meeting in June 2023, eight internationally renowned colleagues should be invited for an intensive exchange. To realize the demanding transconfessional dimension of the network research, the project will initially concentrate on Jesuit and Protestant missionaries of the 17th and 18th centuries. The temporal limitation and the focus on the Jesuits within the Catholic missions are to be understood against the background of the global dimension of this new missionary order, which allows a systematic comparative perspective with the global Protestant missions that only emerged in the late 17th century. Both missionary movements are among the self-declared most influential forces of a renewal within their denominations, which not only developed similar medial and emotional strategies with regard to the transfer of knowledge to Europe, but also approached their practices on the ground of competing mutual influence. A confessional comparative view will be realized by systematic questions, which will enable a synthesis of similarities and differences of confessional emotional practices and effects. Each of the planned thematic complexes will be supervised by a tandem consisting of one person with Jesuit and one with Protestant research experience. The publication of the handbook will take place in 2025.
