- Reformatory heterodoxy in the early Reformation (Argelander Starter Kit Grand "Netzwerke der Diffamierung und Verfolgung reformatorischer Devianz in Süddeutschland, 1525–1530")
"Netzwerke der Diffamierung und Verfolgung reformatorischer Devianz in Süddeutschland, 1525–1530" (Networks of Diffamation and Persecution of Reformatory Deviance in South Germany)
The aim of the project is to analyse processes of defamation and persecution of deviant reformatory movements, such as the Anabaptist movement, in southern German cities in the early Reformation period. It asks how these processes functioned supra-regionally and as an interplay of literary and concrete-legal processes. It is assumed that "persecution networks" were established between the southern German cities, which were themselves in the process of forming a new Protestant identity, in which stereotypes of the "others" were spread, but which also made concrete persecution possible. Within the project, the relevant sources are first collected and then analysed with the help of a database. Methodologically the project will work with the concept of "othering" and social network analysis from the social sciences. It wants to offer a contribution to religious conflict research and to coming to terms with forms of violent treatment of (religious) minorities.
