Università degli Studi di Napoli "L'Orientale"Abstract
The historical question at the centre of our research program is to study the importance of the relationship with cultural otherness in the building of modern European identity. The relationship with otherness took two directions: on the one hand, the confrontation with non-European civilisations; on the other hand, the confrontation with the manifold social, religious, political, ideological worlds within the European civilisation. Our research will study institutions, ideologies, political practices, biographies according to historical methodology. But the analysis will be interdisciplinary as well: in order to historically understand texts, social, cultural and political dynamics, it is useful to adopt anthropological and literary perspectives as well.Thus our research should not only give new answers to acknowledged historical problems, but will highlight new questions.

Girolamo Imbruglia Università degli Studi di NAPOLI "L'Orientale"Research Objectives
Cultural difference is an anthropological feature of the human species which has influenced its whole history. The confrontation with different cultures has brought forth tensions and conflicts which have been settled either by violence, or by new forms of freedom, in both the present and the past. Our research program aims at studying the confrontation between identity and otherness in modern Europe. We shall therefore analyse the institutions, ideologies, political and individual choices which have both directed this confrontation and permitted and defined what otherness was. The confrontation with otherness was not only one amongst civilizations; inside European civilization itself many complex worlds of manifold otherness got in contact – religious, ideological, political. Because of this reason it has seemed necessary to investigate religious or political structures, such as the empire, missions and other religious institutions; or social practices as voyages, or cultural contexts as the new philosophical and juridical European cultures: these are the structures within which it is possible to historically follow conflicts between identities and otherness. This perspective allows us to rethink European modern history as a whole, but at the same time to specify its various elements and its fractures and revolutions, which built its cultural and social features.The periodization of our research envisages what is usually called Early modern and Modern Europe: it >>>
Timescale
24 monthsNational and international background
The subject of our research program has been brought forth by a deep and interdisciplinary confrontation with most recent historiography and with other disciplines, such as anthropology and literature, which raised new questions and new answers This subject represents the common issue of the five research units which will develop it according to their own perspectives.Therefore, the scientific basis of our program is constituted by the new historiography which challenged traditional interpretations and emphasized the building of the modern European cultural identity from XVI to XIX centuries. At the centre of this process, there is the confrontation between identity and otherness.
An essential point of reference remains La formazione storica dell’alterità (2001), to which it is useful to link other research, as those of Österhammel 1998, Israel 2001, P. Grell and R. Porter 2000, Paganini and Tortarolo 2004, H. Pena-Ruiz 2005, and the publications of the collection «Studi e testi per la storia della tolleranza in Europa nei secoli XVI-XVIII», Florence,Olschki. This research showed that an essential feature of the conflict and confront with non European civilizations and with alternative social and cultural worlds has been the emergence of toleration as right to the civil freedom. This research line highlights the relationship between otherness (Istanbul 2003 and Trieste 2004) and toleration as the crucial problem in the confrontation between >>>
