Transfer and Overlapping. Configurations of Knowledge in the Era of the Greek homines novi in the Ottoman Empire (1641 - 1730) (C06)

• Subject Area: European and American Literary and Cultural Studies
• Term: since 2012
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 191249397

The project studies knowledge transfers in the early modern Greek-speaking world. Having examined the forms of self-assertion and self-understanding used by Greek courtly and clerical elites around 1700, the project now focuses on epistemic micro-constellations in the middle decades of the eighteenth century (1730–1769) in order to trace the various modes of knowledge movement in both courtly and clerical institutional contexts and to relate them to long-term developments in the Greek, Ottoman and south-eastern European history of knowledge.
