On-site appointments. Dealing with Difference in Europe is a freely accessible online publication that looks at events that have taken place in European locations and that are exemplary for the study of the historical development of Europe (since 1500). It has been published by the Leibniz Institute for European History in Mainz since 2016 and was first presented at the histocamp 2016.

Thematic and content orientation

All articles were written on site . Dealing with difference in Europe by researchers who are researching or have researched at the Leibniz Institute for European History in Mainz on dealing with difference in Europe. Thematically, the articles in the on-site events are primarily oriented towards history, religion, politics and social issues. Typical questions that are dealt with in the context of the articles are, for example, as follows: How did people in Europe deal with differences and inequality in the past? What role did religion, society and politics play?

The articles are intended to illustrate how different and how conflict-laden the handling of otherness and inequality - in one word: difference - was. They show strategies that have been developed to promote, present, preserve, mitigate or eliminate difference. Discussions, peaceful solutions and aid were just as much a part of the strategies as migration and mission or protest and exclusion through to war and annihilation.

The basic structure of all articles is always based on a structure in three sections:

  1. Constellations: The first section presents the historical starting point - which events took place at the location, who was involved?
  2. Differences: In the second part it is described how those involved on site perceived difference and inequality and how they dealt with it. The main question is whether and how religious convictions and arguments can be reconciled with other affiliations (e.g. social class, gender, nationality).
  3. Meanings: Finally, the long-term consequences of the events on site are considered. What impact did they have beyond the location? To what extent are they revealing for a Europe-wide change in dealing with otherness and inequality?
