European travel grants to Heidelberg Cluster ?Asia and Europe? Workshop ?Modernity?s Classics?, May 8-9, 2009.
A limted number of travel grants is offered to Ph.D. students, postdocs and junior faculty traveling from Europe with documented research interests connected to the workshop topic. The grant is to allow them to come to Heidelberg, follow the presentations and debates and use the opportunity to discuss their own research with the scholars attending. Help in finding accommodation will be provided if needed.
Workshop: Statement of Purpose
This anthropological and historical project aims to examine the reconfigura-tion in the modern period of the respective civilizational 'classics' in different cultural traditions where they provided widely acceptable foundations for accommodating the far-reaching changes coming with modernity in its manifold articulations ranging from colonialism to nationalism, from secular scientism to religious fundamentalism. As this reconfiguration involved a global transcultural flow with close interaction, it presents a challenge to the established scholarly fields. The project takes on this challenge by assembling an international team of scholars from different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds to cooperate in analysing this global, and hotly contested, flow of ideas and scholarly practices. The study of the 'classic' will provide insights not only into changing conceptions of pastness but also into modern constructions of the self and of the educational process. For more information on the program and the participants, see https://www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de/research/heidelberg-research-architecture/copy2_of_modernitys-classics/ .
The workshop is organized by Profs. Sally Humphreys (Anthropology, Univ. of Michigan ret.) and Rudolf Wagner (Cluster Asia and Europe, Heidel-berg).in the context of the Cluster ?Asia and Europe in a Global Context: Shifting Asymmetries in Global Flows?. (http://www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de/).
Contributors come from a large variety of fields, ranging from philologists to anthropologists, philosophers and cultural historians and covering diverse cultural and lingistic traditions across Asia and Europe. For a list of partici-pants, see.here
Requirements: Digital applications with a short sketch of the research interest, c.v. and, if applicable, a list of publications should be sent to Rudolf G. Wagner ([log in to unmask]) by April 26, 2009.
