Bohemian Identity Formation, 1620-1740

我的研究将集中在后白山时期波希米亚身份谈判的方式。它将把身份形成视为一个孤立和内向的辩论，而是一个在宗教，政治，知识和文化领域具有更广泛影响的问题，并且是整个欧洲讨论的问题。这一时期已有的关于身份认同的学术研究大多带有共产主义时代意识形态的强烈印记，而自1989年以来，对我将重点关注的作者的研究很少。此外，关于早期现代波希米亚人身份的讨论往往主要着眼于文本来源，尽管建筑、仪式和视觉上的装饰对这类辩论至关重要。目前的学术研究主要集中在波希米亚人对波希米亚性可能是什么的陈述上;然而，哈布斯堡家族、泛哈布斯堡贵族以及来自欧洲大陆的学者和作家也参与了这种身份的形成。因此，我的研究旨在将波希米亚身份重新定义为一个不是孤立和纯粹波希米亚的问题，而是一个对整个欧洲具有更广泛影响的谈判，并揭示了该时期的宗教，知识和文化辩论。

My research will focus on the ways in which Bohemian identities were negotiated in the post-White Mountain period. It will consider identity-formation not as an isolated and inward-looking debate, but rather as a question with wider consequences in the religious, political, intellectual, and cultural spheres, and as a question that was discussed across Europe. Much of the previously-existing scholarship on identity in this period bears strong marks of the Communist-era ideology, and there have been very few studies of the authors I will focus on since 1989. Moreover, discussions of early modern Bohemian identity have tended to look primarily at textual sources, despite the fact that architecture, ceremonial, and visual depictions were crucial to such debates. Current scholarship has focused on Bohemian statements of what Bohemian-ness could be; yet the Habsburgs, the pan-Habsburg nobility, and scholars and writers from across the continent were also involved in this identity-formation. My research therefore aims to reconceptualise Bohemian identity as a questionthat wasn't insular and purely Bohemian, but rather as a negotiation that had wider implications for Europe as a whole and that sheds light religious, intellectual, and cultural debates of the period.
