Cultural History in Europe
institutions - themes - perspectives
International Conference of the FSP Historical Cultural Studies
17-20 March 2010, Mainz, Germany
The main objective of the conference is a comprehensive stock-taking of
cultural history in Europe. Participants from over ten European countries will
be reporting on the state of cultural history in their respective lands. At the
same time, they will also be considering the form of its institutionalisation at
their countries’ universities, research institutes and other institutions.
In addition, a synopsis of country-specific research topics and questions
specific is being aimed for. It is intended to ascertain what questions and
topics are particularly in demand or have already been dealt with to a large
extent. Coupled with this is the question of (presumed) future fields of work.
Then finally the further prospects for cultural history will also be examined.
These include, first of all, the opportunities and limits of financial support by
universities and/or (provincial) governments. In addition, at the same time the
relationship to other parts of historical science and to cultural studies in a
wider sense will be considered.
The conference is being organised by the FSP Historical Cultural Studies
(HKW) in co-operation with Section II of the Department of History at the
Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz . It is being promoted by the German
Research Foundation (DFG).
