Projektbeschreibung
Neue westliche Wahrnehmung der mongolischen Kaiserinnen verstehen
Seit dem Mittelalter hat der Name „Dschingis Khan“ negative Reaktionen ausgelöst. Die Frauen, die zum Aufstieg des Mongolenkaisers beitrugen, wurden auf die gleiche Weise betrachtet. Studien auf der Grundlage neuer lokaler Quellen haben jedoch zu einer grundlegenden Neubewertung von Dschingis Khan und den mongolischen Prinzessinnen geführt und gezeigt, dass sie ein hohes Maß an Freiheit und Respekt genossen. Das über die Marie-Skłodowska-Curie-Maßnahmen finanzierte Projekt WISE wird die Darstellung der Steppenkaiserinnen in der amerikanischen, anglophonen, frankophonen und italophonen europäischen Literatur und im Kino analysieren. WISE wird beleuchten, ob die neuen anthropologischen, archäologischen, historischen und philologischen Studien im Westen einen Wandel in der Wahrnehmung der mongolischen Herrscherinnen bewirkt haben.
Ziel
Since the Middle Ages, the name of Genghis Khan has been associated in the West with the idea of the Apocalypse. In accordance with this negative representation, the women who contributed to the rise of his empire have long been described as sinister witches and warriors, indistinguishable from the men of their horde. However, studies carried out starting in the last century, thanks to the opening of Mongolia to the West and the rediscovery of new local sources, have led Western scholars to a profound revaluation of Genghis Khan, now seen as one of the makers of the modern world. This revaluation has also affected our view of Mongol princesses, who enjoyed a freedom and a consideration unknown to their sedentary neighbors. Wise and resilient, they took part like men in war, politics and trade, and could choose whether and with whom to marry.
Western Images of the Steppe Empresses (WISE) is the first research in the field of comparative literature aiming to understand whether the new anthropological, archaeological, historical and philological studies carried out by the Mongolists have triggered a change in the perception of Genghisid female royalty in 20th and 21st century Western culture. It analyses their representation in American and Anglophone, Francophone and Italophone European literature and cinema. WISE seeks to understand the cultural reasons for the metamorphosis of the image in question, and whether it is connected to the changed role of women in the West as a result of feminist claims. Moreover, it explores the possibility of an Oriental influence, linked to the steppe culture, on the model of emancipated and combative women prevalent in the West today.
The training at Sorbonne Nouvelle University and the École Pratique des Hautes Études will give me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of Mongolian civilization, and to acquire expertise in Orientalism, gender and film studies, to be added to my existing skills in comparative literature.
