Abstrakt

The aim of this paper is to present an international and multidisciplinary project entitled
Digitising Patterns of Power
(later referred to as DPP), which is funded by the programme
Digital Humanities: Langzeitprojekte zum kulturellen Erbe
of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The project is hosted by the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (its implementation period is 2015–2018). DPP is intended to compare four regions: the Carolingian Eastern Alps (8
th
–9
th

c.), the March / Morava–Thaya / Dyje Borderregion (7
th
–11
th
c.), the historical region of Macedonia (12
th
–14
th
c.), and historical Southern Armenia (5
th
–11
th
c.). The team concentrates on aspects such as: the depiction and analysis of space and location in medieval written sources, the interaction between developed and natural environment, the usage of space, and the emergence of new political, religious and economic structures of power. DPP is implemented within the framework of the programme
Digital Humanities: Langzeit- projekte zum kulturellen Erbe
of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. We are certain that the outcome of the project will render interesting results and insights, not only for the researchers focusing on the four aforesaid regions, but also for all those who seek new methods for investigating the past of our continent
