http://jmharland.hcommons.org/
Forschungsprojekt im Rahmen des SFB 923
Arbeitstitel: Transformation durch Bedrohung.
Teilprojekt F01 soll an einem exemplarischen Untersuchungsgegenstand das Paradigma der Transformation operationalisierbar machen. Geplant ist dafür eine diachrone Analyse der spätrömischen Monarchie(n) im Zeitraum vom 5. bis zum 7. Jahrhundert, die spezifische Phasen der Bedrohung und des re-ordering in den Blick nehmen und damit das analytische Potential des SFB-Ansatzes insbesondere für Fragen nach der Konzeptualisierung von Epochenübergängen fruchtbar machen soll.
