FOR 5415: Local Xenocracy. Administration and Cultural Entanglement in Pre-Modernity
Basic data for this project
Description
The research group "Xenocracy on site. Administration and Cultural Interdependence in the premodern era" is a cooperation between the University of Münster, the University of Cologne and the University of Freiburg and has been funded by the German Research Foundation since 2023. The aim of the research group is to develop a perspective on the phenomenon of foreign rule that is tailored to the premodern period. The research group brings together experts from the disciplines of history, art history, Coptology, sinology and papyrology and focuses on the one hand on the localization of xenocratic rule, its modes of functioning, modes of mediation and forms of symbolic representation on site. On the other hand, it sheds light on the administration, its representatives and administrative practices. In seven subprojects, forms of xenocracy in northern Alpine Europe, Latin America, the Mediterranean, China and India are being researched.
