Research on practices of the in-between on the individual level
The second project phase with the focus on the practices of individuals has started. In a meeting in March 2024, we shared information and ideas about current research and work in progress.
Preparatory research has already led to the identification of various individuals such as Zofka Kveder (Mihurko Poniž), Anastasius Grün alias Anton Alexander Graf von Auersperg (Marija Klobčar) and Eduard von Josch (Werner Drobesch, Fabian Prilasnig) on all of whom ample and unedited source material is readily available. Amongst other sources, the project can make use of several ego-documents, which provide insights into how the reality of everyday life and the practices of people were characterised by means of multiple affiliations that crossed the later borders between countries and nationalities. We will identify and analyse the situational individual behaviour of people, and the complexity of individual identification processes.
