Накратко на български

Културният обмен през личността на кралица Ана от Дания се проследява чрез нейното влияние върху изкуството, архитектурата и музиката в Британия. Това помага да се разбере политическата роля на жените и влиянието на Северна Европа в ранното модерно общество.

The Politics of Cultural Exchange: Anna of Denmark and the Uses of European Identity

My project, Mapping Anna, confirms that cultural exchange and transfer through the person of the queen consort is critical to the recognition and validation of women’s political significance in early modern patriarchal societies. This case study examines the distinctive patterns in queen consort Anna of Denmark’s (1574-1619) patronage, who provides a particularly germane example of cross-cultural exchange as the first European queen consort to move to Britain in almost 50 years. Born into the Danish Oldenburg dynasty, in 1589 Anna moved to Scotland with her marriage to James VI (1566-1625), later King of England and Great Britain. Throughout, Anna maintained an important diplomatic relationship with her brother Christian IV of Denmark, and supported major European alliances including Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Florence, Rome, Spain, and Württemberg. Her courts in Scotland and England produced a variety of important expressive media including art, architecture, garden design, music, and theatre. The project integrated five main research, teaching, and public engagement objectives: • redefine female agency and enhance scholarly and public awareness of Anna of Denmark’s transcultural significance; • analyse court spaces as sites of concrete and intangible cultural exchange and understand the symbolic and political value of behaviour and ritual; • examine notions of national and international culture in pre-modern Europe and restore the importance of northern European influences on Britain at the turn of the seventeenth century; • utilise new performative models of research to engage the public and promote broader cultural literacy; • build international scholarly connections and access unpublished documents and primary objects in British and European holdings

Цел на проекта

"The Politics of Cultural Exchange: Anna of Denmark and the Uses of European Identity"" investigates how cultural exchange operates across the confessional and geographic divides of pre-modern Europe through a transnational case study of Anna of Denmark (1574-1619), Queen of Scotland and England. This synoptic study combines her vernacular patronage with new evidence of her European connections manifested in her Latin diplomatic correspondence and her material artefacts and commissions. Analysis of new archival, visual, and material sources in Denmark, England, Scotland, and Sweden illuminates Anna’s networks and agendas. Her Latin correspondence offers insights into how she negotiated linguistic and political barriers; her commissions of artists, architects, garden designers, musicians, and scholars demonstrate her pan-European cultural connections. Reformulating theories of agency, analysing interactions between physical and intangible cultural artefacts, and examining the strategic use of 'national' labels as tools of political communication, this project raises academic and public awareness about women’s role in history, redefining how European culture spanned national borders. Located between the fields of material and visual history, theatre, and literary criticism, it reshapes interpretations of national identity, female agency, and spatial politics. Thus, it opens up neglected areas of European gender and culture histories, responding to concerns articulated by the ESF (among others) over sustaining the cultural literacy of the next generation. ""Mapping Anna"" innovates by using performance as research and as an effective dissemination tool. Alongside generating a major monograph, the project re-stages ""Cupid’s Banishment"" (performed for Anna in 1617), bringing together undergraduate actors, academics, heritage workers, and members of the public to generate broad interest in Anna and female patronage, giving new significance to European women’s heritage.""
