The present volume offers contributions that arose from the discussions in the DFG research group ›Xenocracy on Site: Administration and Cultural Interdependence in the Premodern Era‹. The common theoretical framework for both the research group and the subsequent contributions is the analysis of a particular constellation of rule, defined as xenocracy: the focus lies on regions which, in the course of territorial expansion, were administratively incorporated into the territorial domain of a foreign ruler. We thus not only examine areas where authority shifted in an abstract manner, but ones where the new rulers actively exerted influence and created local cultural contact zones by establishing administrative structures staffed by actors brought into the region specifically for this purpose. The contributions in this volume encompass a broad chronological and geographical scope, featuring case studies from Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Drawing on these diverse examples, the authors analyze the impact of xenocratic rule on administrative practice, the agency of the actors involved, and the forms of symbolic communication that emerge locally within such systems. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
