“…If nowadays historians interpret medieval colonization as a phenomenon that gathered Europe as a whole in a process proceeding step by step from the west to the east (Zernack 1994) and initiating similar structural changes, in each case one must pay attention to the fact that in the east different ethnicities contributed to them (Lübke 2007). Encounters between the indigenous population and the immigrants caused problems for coexistence that varied from place to place and from region to region.…”

Eastern Europe: medieval era colonizations and reclamation of land

While medieval colonization was controversial in Eastern Europe for a long time, it also built a rich heritage. It was rather a question of national pride concerning the cultural improvements that revolutionized social and economic life from the second half of the 12th century. The main reason for the national struggles of the 19th and 20th centuries is related to the seemingly dominating role of the Germans in these processes, which were frequently traced to the immigration of settlers from the west and to the import and spread of the German law ( ius Teutonicum ). This historic phenomenon was frequently used – and abused – as an argument in fights amongst the Germans for political ascendancy over lands which were populated mostly by Slavs from the early Middle Ages, and then predominantly by Poles in modern times. The debates began in the middle of the 19th century and soon seized the public's attention (Hackmann & Lübke 2002). Generally speaking, the Germans staked a claim for their ancestors having acted as the transmitters of culture, and the Slavs (and other ethnicities) were compelled to accept the beneficial effects of their arrival. But neighbors of the Germans, like the Poles and the Czechs, rejected their assertions and minimized or totally ignored their alleged merits. As a result, autochthonous development became the basis of regional colonization.

The objective of this article is to analyse several ways of handling religious diversity that were practised in medieval Latin Christian Europe, paying particular attention to the interdependencies between the following fields of religious diversity: first the presence of other religions than Latin Christianity within Medieval Europe, which is all too often reduced to Iberian ‘convivencia’. Second, religious diversity within Christianity is stressed, drawing particular attention to the so-called and frequently overlooked Oriental churches. A third block deals with the mechanisms the Christian Latin Church developed in order to control religious plurality, of which the demarcation between orthodoxy and heresy was only one. The development and institutionalisation of varied forms of religious life can also be understood as an attempt to channel diversity. Seen from this angle, the vivid world of sainthood—the fourth field—might be interpreted as a form of transcendental pluralism and as a flexible ‘market’ that catered to societal and religious change. Some final reflections are dedicated to the theological consequences European religious diversity heralded within Latin Christianity. Intra-religious diversification and inter-religious demarcation were closely related.

Artykuł prezentuje namysł nad badaniami historii Kresów uwikłanymi w różnie rozumianą, często zideologizowaną politykę historyczną. Rozważania autora koncentrują się na wczesnohistorycznym terenie pogranicznym, jakim są Grody Czerwieńskie, jako przykładzie koegzystencji różnych wspólnot etnicznych i politycznych. Wczesnodziejowe stanowisko archeologiczne zaprezentowane jest w kontekście współczesnych dyskusji nad terenami łączącymi kulturę łacińską i prawosławną, będącymi swego rodzaju prefiguracją „kresów“. Prowadzone przez autora analizy dowodzą aktualności badań archeologicznych wobec współczesnych stanowisk badawczych i obiegowych sądów, pokazując niepoddającą się łatwej identyfikacji przestrzeń pomiędzy Wschodem i Zachodem. Takie spojrzenie na sytuacją Grodów Czerwieńskich może pozwolić na krytyczną ocenę etnicznych i narodowych identyfikacji formułowanych przez nowoczesną historigrafię, rzutowanych w przeszłość, w poszukiwaniu źródła polityki tożsamościowej. Artykuł zawiera precyzyjną rekonstrukcję debat nad kulturowym położeniem Grodów Czerwieńskich zarówno w polityce historycznej II Rzeczypospolitej, PRL, jak i po 1989 roku.
