Early Modern History
The Department of Early Modern History introduces itself
Under the direction of Stefano Saracino, the history of the early modern period is researched and taught at the department in a broad temporal framework, extending from the end of the 15th to the middle of the 19th century, whereby the local and the regional, the European and the non-European are linked together in terms of perspective. The period is particularly fascinating because it points back to the Middle Ages, while at the same time pointing forward to modernity. With a focus on cultural, global and political history, the research area examines the deep structures and persistence of contemporary knowledge and behaviour in the early modern period.
The "General History of Modern Times" department can look back on a long and eventful history. Although "General History with special emphasis on Modern History" has been taught in Graz since 1865, it was not until 1919 - and thus late compared to other Austrian universities - that Modern History was established as an independent sub-discipline of history.
A new chapter in the long and eventful history of the department will be opened in 2017 - the "General History of the Modern Era" department will become the "History of the Early Modern Era" department. The department was headed by Gabriele Haug-Moritz until June 2024. Stefano Saracino took over as head in December 2024.
The focus of research and teaching is on global history, in particular global migration history, coloniality in the early modern period and the globalisation of Mediterranean (knowledge) cultures. Continuing the tradition of the chair, current teaching programmes and research activities also focus on the early modern political culture of Europe and the Old Empire in particular (political culture of the Imperial Diet).
For more than two decades, the department has organised and administered the certified study focus "Cultural Management - Applied Cultural Studies", which allows students from all disciplines of the Faculty of Humanities to acquire a practice-oriented additional qualification.
Univ. Prof. Dr. Stefano Saracino
Stefano Saracino studied history and political science in Munich, Bologna and Thessaloniki from 1999 to 2005. His dissertation focussed on political communication in Florence (published in Tyrannis und Tyrannenmord bei Machiavelli, Munich 2012). From 2011 to 2013, he was a DFG post-doctoral fellow in the International Research Training Group "Political Communication" in Frankfurt am Main and Trento. His work on the FWF project "Soziales Engagement in den Wiener griechischen Gemeinden" at the Institute for Byzantine and Neo-Greek Studies at the University of Vienna and scholarships and research stays in Hamburg, Erfurt, Gotha, Paris and Halle led to his habilitation (published in Griechen im Heiligen Römischen Reich. Migration and its significance in the history of knowledge, Berlin/Boston 2024). In 2021, he habilitated at the LMU Munich. From 2020 to 2024, he was a research assistant at the Chair of Early Modern History at the University of Jena (with Kim Siebenhüner), which he represented in the winter semester 2023/24. 2017 Visiting Professor in the DFG Research Training Group "Interconfessionality in the Early Modern Period" (University of Hamburg) and 2023 Visiting Professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
