Subproject A03
Securitization and Dynastic Marriage Politics

3. Funding period (2022-2025)

The subproject examines dynastic marriage policy and marriage contracts of the early modern period from the perspective of securitization. Marriage policy marked security problems (heuristics), but also referred to their solution (repertoire). One focus is on intercultural exchange processes that began anew in the epoch and subsequently became perpetuated. The subproject pursues four goals. First, to index European marriage contracts from 1475 to 1810 and to make them available in the database Dynastic Marriage Contracts in the Early Modern Period. Second, to study intercultural marriage policies of European and indigenous actors during the establishment of Spanish colonial rule in Mesoamerica, between processes of rapprochement and hierarchization. Third, the study of confessional intermarriage between normative securitization and widely practiced dynastic practices. And fourth, a synthesis of the research findings from all three funding phases.
