[sic!] Summer Institute Cologne – 22 Aug to 2 Sep, 2016 – In Situ
Deadline for applications: 29 Feb, 2016
We invite graduate and postgraduate students from Area Studies, Art History, Classics, Communication, Cultural Studies, Dance, English, Film, Gender and Sexuality Studies, German, History, Literary Studies, Media, Music, Performance, Sound, Theatre, and related fields to apply for this international interdisciplinary program. (All sessions will be conducted in English.) Participants and faculty of [sic!] 2016 will explore perspectives on the topic in situ through four themed seminars:
- Queer Becomings and Unnatural Intimacies
- Sound Studies
- Theatre Historiography
- Urbanism and Hip Hop
Each seminar will be led by a pair of scholars from Northwestern University (Evanston, USA) and the University of Cologne (Germany). In addition to the seminars, [sic!] offers interdisciplinary academic workshops that allow for a dialogue with participants from across the seminars. Each participant enrolls in one seminar and one workshop, thus composing an individual study program. Seminars and workshops are enhanced by excursions, lectures by faculty, poster presentations by students, and social gatherings. The University of Cologne assists participants in identifying accommodation and with other basic logistics.
The Latin term in situ means to be in the original place. Additionally, it means to be in position and, by extension, refers to a normative, rightful, historical, or naturalized location or condition. Knowing that something is unaltered implies awareness of conditions and criteria for alterability and what would constitute mobility, displacement, and change that come about through contact, recombination, contamination, or even representation. Whether considering the contrast between natural sound and its capture, transnational sharing of media, shifting and expanding categories of social and cultural identity, or the performative vocabularies that refer to place, [sic!] 2016 will explore contemporary and historical, local and global instantiations of in situ through many perspectives.
More information on the seminars can be found here: <http://sic.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/15231.html>

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seminar I – Queer Becomings and Unnatural Intimacies
Nick Davis (Northwestern), Christiane König (Cologne)
This course will explore new horizons for intimacy that have been opened up by reproductive technologies, digital platforms, and genetic engineering, as each of these has been taken up in scholarship, journalism, theory, and popular art, with an emphasis on 21st-century cinema. Through their various channels of cultural implementation and dissemination, figures like the clone, the cyborg, the alien, the domesticated robot, and the computer-coded lover undermine old dichotomies that traditionally organized people, desiring relations, and material ontologies, such as nature/culture, real/artificial, male/female, hetero/homo, human/nonhuman, and organic/inorganic. This movement of erosion not only affects the categories of individuality, subjectivity, sexuality, and the body but also the concepts of familial affiliations and kinship whereby linear time, history, futurity, and even space must be reconceptualized. In these unstable contexts, even previous structures for expanding intimacy – relating, for example, to adoption, surrogacy, or companion animals – take on new practical and theoretical valences. Transgressing traditional forms of kinship, romance, and family, these relationships do not derive from genetics, blood, biology, or matrimony. Instead, they 'come to life' in situ as processes through which shifting notions of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, among other categories of difference, must be endlessly renegotiated. Films discussed in this seminar will include Chappie, Code 46, District 9, Her, The Lobster, and Under the Skin.
Seminar II – Sound Studies
Frank Hentschel (Cologne), Jacob Smith (Northwestern)
Sound and music have long been understood as phenomena best understood in terms of time. Common statements include claims that sound exists only when it is "going out of existence," or that we cannot freeze a sound in the way we can freeze an image, or that sound is inherently concerned with movement. In aesthetics, this tendency is expressed in arguments that contrast music and poetry as temporal arts with painting and sculpture as spatial arts. However, the emergence of Sound Studies in the past decade has inspired scholars to question such assumptions, and the result has been what one writer described as "a veritable avalanche of scholarship devoted to the interconnections between sound and space." This is not only an aesthetic question. Rather, the relationship between historical, geographical, and social places and sound needs to be discussed. This seminar will attend to the roar of that avalanche through an engagement with a series of written and sounded texts that prompt discussion about the relationship between sounds and spaces. The participants will be asked to contribute presentations on related topics (details to be announced later).
We invite participants with interests relating to the study of sound culture, in particular topics such as:
theoretical and artistic investigations of sound and space; the relationships between social milieu and sound
soundscapes, understood as both a physical environment and a way of perceiving that environment
the role of sound in architectural design; environmental sound, i.e. muzak, music in supermarket and warehouse
the sites and situations of sonic performances; music and its concert ven-ues: opera houses, concert halls, clubs, etc.
the use of location recording and sound design in media texts to indicate space, place, and environment
the creation of virtual spaces in the production of sound media texts (for example, stereo, multi-channel mixing, surround sound systems, etc.)
the theory and practice of field recording and/or place-based sound art
sonic mobility in relation to technologies such as portable MP3 players and logistical devices (GPS, etc.)
the voice as a site of performance for identity; in particular, place-based identity (as in regional accents, dialects, and linguistic code-switching)
the global circulation of sounds and/or musical styles; dialectics of local sound and globalization; exoticism and localism in opera and film music; the role of sound and music in acts of war
the role of sound in the experience of urban space and the perception of technological infrastructure
Seminar III – Theatre Historiography
Tracy C. Davis (Northwestern), Peter W. Marx (Cologne)
Theatre can be a site, it can happen at sites, it can travel to sites, and it can represent sites. It can aspire to universal significance yet, as a performance transpires, it is constituted of the people and place where it transpires. This year, the theatre historiography seminar will explore situatedness in relation to locality and localism as well as theatre's claims to overcome this ontology by transporting spectators to other places, times, and sensibilities. We welcome applications from scholars interested in topics such as the following:
What are the performative vocabularies of location (how is sitedness stipulated by design, acting, and spoken language)?
Are performative claims to authenticity interdependent with site?
How does a performance continuum (from art theatre to everyday life) impact ways we theorize reconstructions of place (e.g. open air museums such as Skansen), tourism (e.g. the Grand Tour and its legacy), and theatre buildings as valued heritage? In such cases, how are site and repertoire interconnected?
When and how to theatres become important stops for travellers’ in situ tourism?
What genres of display and performance have evolved in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries out of site-specific practices such as world’s fairs, public art, neighborhood reclamation, and nature appreciation?
How does theatre/performance function as a tool to mark specific sites and to give them a specific/new meaning (such as Boston’s Freedom Trail, Hellfire Pass on the Thai-Burmese Railway, or other pilgrimage sites)?
Seminar IV – Urbanism and Hip Hop
As a cultural formation, Hip Hop is frequently characterized by its relationship to location, perhaps none more so than by the ideologem of the city as an urban landscape. From provisional sites of makeshift dance floors to the Outsider Art of public graffiti murals, Hip Hop culture has reshaped the built environments, and thus redefined the meanings, of space in the modern city. Inasmuch as Hip Hop is often situated in particular social specificities – commonly delineated racially as "black" or provincially as "urban," for example – Hip Hop, given the transnational flows of contemporary culture, is continually being resituated in new environments and recontextualized by new practitioners.
In the seminar we will approach Hip Hop as a way of living in the city and making sense of the city. Through a sharing of common codes such as rhetorical idioms, sartorial aesthetics, music, body movements, Hip Hop promises measures of autonomy and individuality, on the one hand, as well as opportunities to be situated in a groups or collectivities, on the other hand. We will look at these practices by focusing on North American, German, and Asian cities.
We welcome applications from scholars interested in topics such as the following:
How Hip Hop, as an art form with practices that are both protean and dynamic, is localized and situated
How Hip Hop aesthetics are adopted and integrated into new environments
How "performative vocabularies" enable communal belonging and other forms of sociality
How the migratory flows of Hip Hop have reframed the transnational constellations of global cities

Sommeruniversität in Paris
21.–24.06.2016
Veranstaltungsort: Deutsches Historisches Institut Paris, 8 rue du Parc-Royal, 75003 Paris
Bewerbungsschluss: 1.4.2016
Die deutsch-französische Sommeruniversität 2016 des Deutschen Historischen Instituts Paris widmet sich der Entstehung ökonomischen Wissens, ökonomischen Praktiken und Diskursen und im weitesten Sinn den Themen einer Kulturgeschichte des Ökonomischen. Doktoranden und Doktorandinnen, Postdocs, sowie fortgeschrittene Masterstudierende der Geschichts-, Kultur-, Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften mit einem einschlägigen historischen Forschungsprojekt werden eine Gelegenheit zur Diskussion ihrer Projekte erhalten. Das DHIP bietet ihnen so die Chance zur grenzüberschreitenden Vernetzung im deutsch-französischen Forschungsumfeld. Dabei kooperiert das DHIP in diesem Jahr mit dem Centre d’histoire de Sciences Po. Die Veranstaltung wird begleitet von den Professoren Alain CHATRIOT, Nicolas DELALANDE und Jakob VOGEL. Weitere deutsche und französische KollegInnen, die in dem Forschungsfeld aktiv sind, werden als Diskutanten teilnehmen. Adam TOOZE (Columbia University) wird einen Abendvortrag halten.
Die Verbindung von kultur- und wirtschaftshistorischen Methoden und Themen wird in der Forschung seit etwa zwei Jahrzehnten propagiert. Durch die Erfahrung der Wirtschaftskrise seit 2008 erfuhr dieser Forschungszweig zusätzlichen Schub, zahlreiche neue Projekte zu diesem Themenkomplex wurden in den letzten Jahren gestartet. Ihre Perspektiven sind vielfältig:
- die Konstitution ökonomischen Wissens durch Akteure in Ökonomie, Staat und Zivilgesellschaft;
- die Entstehung von Marktgesellschaften und des Kapitalismus;
- die Genese von Krisen und Erklärungsversuche der Zeitgenossen;
- Resilienz und Reaktionen auf den krisenbedingten Ordnungsbruch;
- die Rolle von sozialen und kulturellen Institutionen für das Wirtschaftshandeln;
- die Entwicklung staatlicher Institutionen im Kontext von Marktwirtschaft und Kapitalismus;
- die Rolle von Kriegen, die Spezifika der kolonialen Welt und die Rolle der Weltreiche;
- die Bedeutung und Funktionsweise von Kategorien wie Vertrauen (confiance/trust), Moral (morale/morality), Wertschätzung (estime/esteem) oder Risiko (risque/risk);
- usw.
Der theoretisch-methodische Rahmen, der von den Begriffen Kultur und Wissen aufgespannt wird, sorgt vor diesem Hintergrund für eine inhaltliche Kohärenz der Sommeruniversität. Zugleich ermöglicht diese Festlegung eine breite chronologische Perspektive über die klassische Epochengrenze um 1800 hinweg. Diese zeitliche Öffnung wird es jungen Forschern und Forscherinnen, modernistes und contemporanéistes, erlauben, gemeinsam in eine Diskussion über Forschungsansätze und Konzepte, über lange Linien der Geschichte, Kontinuitäten und Wandel einzutreten. Die notwendigerweise thematisch und chronologisch begrenzten Einzelprojekte können so in einen größeren Zusammenhang eingeordnet werden. Die Sommeruniversität wird insgesamt 14 Doktoranden und Doktorandinnen, Postdocs und erfahrenen Master-Studierenden mit einem einschlägigen Abschlussprojekt Gelegenheit geben, ihre Projekte zu präsentieren. Die Vorträge (ca. 25 Minuten) werden jeweils durch andere Teilnehmer kommentiert. Im Vorfeld der Tagung werden Abstracts der Beiträge auf dem Blog 19jhdhip.hypotheses.org publiziert, um die Projekte einer interessierten (Fach-)Öffentlichkeit bekannt zu machen. Eine Exkursion wird Gelegenheit zu einem kultur- und kunsthistorischen Blick auf die Themen Ökonomie und Geld geben.
Praktische Informationen
Die Fahrtkosten der Teilnehmer und Teilnehmerinnen werden erstattet (bis zu 250 € aus Europa, bis zu 180 € innerhalb Frankreichs). Übernachtungskosten für drei Übernachtungen werden mit bis zu 48 €/Nacht erstattet.
Arbeitssprachen der Sommeruniversität sind Deutsch, Französisch und Englisch. Die aktive Beherrschung einer Fremdsprache und das passive Verständnis der zweiten Fremdsprache werden vorausgesetzt.
Bitte senden Sie die folgenden Bewerbungsunterlagen in einer der Konferenzsprachen an <sommeruni@dhi-paris.fr>: Abstract des geplanten Vortrags (max. 500 Wörter), akademischer Lebenslauf mit Publikationsliste, Angaben zu ihren Sprachkenntnissen.
Bewerbungsschluss ist der 1. April 2016.

Subject: Sem: Summer course: What Makes Us Human? Philosophical and Religious Perspectives in China and the West – Budapest 7/2016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Central European University (CEU), Budapest
04.07.2016-15.07.2016, Central European University (CEU)
Explicitly or implicitly, the question of what makes us human has been a central and ongoing preoccupation among thinkers from antiquity to the present, and in intellectual traditions vastly removed from one another in time and space. That the question seems to be a fixture in the human imagination speaks not only to our need for self-understanding in the context of a broader world, but also to its relevance to issues of practical concern: how one conceptualizes the human has deep normative implications, grounding different moral systems, hierarchies of values, configurations of power and patterns of social interaction. That it has been answered in such diverse ways highlights the great stakes involved in this ongoing conversation.
This course examines the complex and varied trajectory of how thinkers, in China and Europe, have sought to make sense of their humanness. Bringing together specialists in the philosophical and religious traditions of both civilizations, it focuses particularly on the early history of thinking about the human as approached through a diverse range of sources, from ethical and cosmological writings to medical treatises and case studies, to religious and literary texts (such as ancient tragedy). The goal of the course is to explore linkages among the various realms of thought and experience represented by these diverse genres: thus, how emergent conceptions of the cosmos, the spiritual world, and the workings of nature might have shaped the understanding of the human, and conversely, how thinking about what makes humans distinct (for instance, certain cognitive, ethical, creative, spiritual capacities) confronts the place of humans in the world at large. The latter part of the course will focus on later developments in medieval Christian theology and in Renaissance humanism. We will conclude with reflections on the contemporary relevance of the human as a category, and on what examination of past ways of thinking about the human bears upon issues of pressing concern in the present.
Eligibility:
We invite applications from doctoral students, junior faculty and post-doctoral researchers working in relevant fields of either (or both) the Chinese or European intellectual traditions, such as: Philosophy, Intellectual history, Religion, History and Philosophy of Science, and Literature.

Die Veranstaltung geht schlaglichtartig auf die Formen der Konzeptualisierung, Konstruktion und Verhandlung nationaler Identitäten in Deutschland, Polen und Tschechien ein. Zugrunde liegt der theoretische Ansatz des kürzlich verstorbenen Historikers Benedict Anderson, der Nationen als Imagined Communities bezeichnet hat. Im Unterschied zu den bisherigen Sichtweisen sind Nationen demnach nicht feststehend sondern werden konstruiert. Die tragende Säule der Veranstaltung bilden kultur- geschichts- und politikwissenschaftliche Vorträge der deutschen, polnischen und tschechischen Dozenten zur Konstruktion und Verhandlung nationaler Identitäten in öffentlichen Diskursen und Institutionen und ihren Praxen, auch in ihren aktuellen Kontexten und Dimensionen. Als Referenten haben ihre Teilnahme zugesagt: Marek Nekula (Regensburg): Einführung in die Seminarthematik; Marketa Spiritova (München): „Nation(alism) goes Pop“. Konstruktionen nationaler Identität in der Populärkultur; Natali Stegmann (Regensburg): Opferstatus und Täterschaft als Komponenten kollektiver und nationaler Identität; Miroslav Kunštát (Prag/Praha): „Religio et natio“. Die Kirchen und nationale Frage in den böhmischen Ländern im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert; Renata Sirota-Frohnauer (Regensburg): Neue Identität nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland; David Emler (Prag/Praha): Umgang mit der Vergangenheit in West- und Mitteleuropa nach 1989. Eine gegenseitige Übertragung von Praktiken?; Martin Klecacký (Prag/Praha): Wandel der nationalen Identitäten um 1900; Alena Zelená (Prag/Praha): Nationale Identitäten in den „Erinnerungen“ an das Zusammenleben im multinationalen Raum; Zuzana Kasáková (Prag/Praha): Moderne nationale Identitäten im Prozess der europäischen Integration; Jan Rydel (Krakau/Kraków): Dilemmata der polnischen nationalen Identität im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert; Ota Konrad (Prag/Praha): Die Deutsche Universität in Prag und ihre Stellung in den nationalen Auseinandersetzungen der Moderne.
Zudem ist eine Exkursion nach Weimar geplant.
Es sind deutschsprachige Studierende aus Deutschland sowie den östlichen Nachbarländern – insbesondere aus Tschechien, der Slowakei und Polen – zu dieser Veranstaltung eingeladen. Die Kosten betragen 50 € inkl. Unterkunft, Verpflegung und Programmkosten. Für ostmitteleuropäische Teilnehmende können Reisekostenzuschüsse bezahlt werden. Bitte beim Veranstalter die genauen Konditionen nachfragen. Das vollständige Tagungsprogramm sowie ein Anmeldeformular können Sie ebenfalls anfordern.
Anfragen und Anmeldungen sind spätestens bis zum 3. März 2016 zu richten an: Akademie Mitteleuropa, Kennwort: „Nationale Identitäten“, Alte Euerdorfer Strasse 1, 97688 Bad Kissingen, Telefon: 0971-714 714, Fax: 0971-714 747, E-Mail: <studienleiter@heiligenhof.de>

On Simulation in Science
Beside theory and experimentation, computer simulation has become a dominant scientific method in contemporary research. Computational fields have been established in many disciplines and new scientific infrastructures for computational science are well established. Most prominent within these developments stands climate modelling, which has introduced advanced simulations of entire earth systems, allowing comparisons of different scenarios and complex model evaluation strategies in order to tackle questions of uncertainty and to transform simulation into a reliable scientific instrument for in-silico experimentation of preventative actions, as well as projections of future developments should no actions be taken. However, climate simulation is one of many fields using computational power. Since the 1990s those working in the philosophy of science have been engaged in a fruitful discussion on modelling and simulation. A large number of case studies on simulation projects have been carried out, providing detailed insights into the various practices of modelling and simulation. However, what is missing is a historical view on the emergence of computer simulation as well as a comprehensive understanding of how simulations contribute to the progress of knowledge in science, how simulation is framed politically, in the academic field, and how prognoses based on simulations impact upon society, policy, and the economy. Therefore, beside project presentations by the participants, the summer school will provide workshops and lectures in order to address and discuss the following topics:
Workshop “The History of Simulation and Computing” by media historian Claus Pias (Lüneburg) and computer historian David A. Grier (Washington).
Workshop “Progress of Knowledge by Simulation” by philosophers of science Axel Gelfert (Singapore) and Gabriele Gramelsberger (Lüneburg).
Workshop “The Prospects of Simulation” by philosophers Petra Gehring (Darmstadt) and Andreas Kaminski (Stuttgart).
Workshop “Science Policy of Simulation” by computer scientists Martin Warnke (Lüneburg) and Michael Resch (Stuttgart).
Lecture “Simulating Climate” by climate scientist Johann Feichter (Hamburg).
Lecture “Images of Simulation” by art historian Inge Hinterwaldner (Cambridge).
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
This summer school invites doctoral students from the fields of Philosophy of Science, History of Science, Science and Technology Studies, as well as Software Studies, and of course the Natural Sciences. We welcome case based studies on scientific, economic and social simulations, but also studies in the history of computational methods in science.
WHERE AND WHEN WILL THIS TAKE PLACE?
The “On Simulation in Science” summer school will take place at the Institute for Advanced Study on Media Cultures of Computer Simulation (MECS), Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany (30 minutes away from Hamburg), between September 26th and 30th, 2016.
WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM PARTICIPANTS WHEN ACCEPTED?
Participants will present their projects (30 min. presentation). They will participate in the offered workshops, discussions and keynote lectures. They will prepare questions for the workshops based on an in advance circulated reader. Two of the participants will be offered a 6 months junior fellowship at the MECS.
HOW TO APPLY
Please submit your CV along with a 500-word abstract of your dissertation, and a 500-word explanation on why you would like to attend the summer school. The deadline for applications is February 29th, 2016. Please email applications (compile into one PDF) to <mecssummerschool@leuphana.de>.
All applicants will be informed about the selection of participants by March 15th, 2016.
The working language of the summer school will be English; therefore, a sufficient understanding of English is expected. There is no participation fee. The organizers will cover accommodation costs. We have a limited amount of needs-based travel funding available. Please indicate in your application letter if you wish to apply for travel funding.

27.06.2016-30.06.2016, Jay Rowell; Didier Georgakakis; Antoine Vauchez
Pursuing the exchanges of the 2015 edition of the summer school that brought together 35 PhD candidates, post-doctoral fellows and more senior researchers, this year's edition intends to bring in closer contact scholars from a variety of disciplines (law, political science, sociology, history) interested in using sociological and historical methodologies for their research on European and transnational issues. The summer school will be structured around the following themes which will be organised around an internationally renowned key note speaker followed by group discussion on the papers presented by participants:
1) Socio-historical approach of EU polity formation
2) EU Studies and the “European project”: “dangerous liaisons”?
3) Field-theory in Brussels: opportunities and difficulties
4) Sociography and prosopography of European actors
5) Studying European attitudes and perceptions
6) Transnational circulations and transfers
All texts will be in English, discussions will be primarily in English, but also some french will be used so comprehension of French is usefull but not an absolute prerequisite.

Subject: Sem: Respatialization of the World – Actors, Moments, Effects. XIV International Summer School of the Graduate School Global and Area Studies – Leipzig 6/2016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graduate School Global and Area Studies, Leipzig
06.06.2016-09.06.2016, Graduate School Global and Area Studies
Research Context of the Summer School
Over the past decade, the Leipzig PhD Summer School has established itself as an important meeting place for the interdisciplinary discussion of transnationalization and transculturalism as well as new trends in the research of globalization in general. The 2016 edition of the Summer School is organized by the Graduate School Global and Area Studies, which is part of the Graduate Centre Humanities and Social Sciences at the Research Academy Leipzig in cooperation with the Centre for the History and Culture of East Central Europe (GWZO). For the first time, it is organized together with the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1199: “Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition”. The Graduate School currently comprises 140 PhD candidates from the social sciences, history, and the study of cultures who undertake structured doctoral training. The annual Summer School is an integral component of this programme. The Summer School occupies a special place within the educational concept of the Graduate School by providing PhD candidates with a forum to present the results of their respective research to their peer group, including fellow PhD candidates and Postdocs from abroad. Thus, the invitation is open to young researchers from all over the world whose research interests are related to the focus of this year’s Summer School.
Thematic Focus of the Summer School
The world is undergoing processes of respatialization – existing spatial frameworks for social actions are being undermined while others are emerging and competing with ones already established. Neither the nation-state nor global governance nor new regionalisms definitely form the endpoint of such processes. Likewise, transnational or global networks and chains, which have received more and more scholarly attention, have also failed to completely exert dominance as could be seen most recently during the financial crisis in 2008 when nation-states, and their alliances, became important again for rescuing economies and welfare systems. Current public debates about the crisis of Europe have led to the question if supranational structures and multilevel governance will be accepted as alternatives to the nation-state. As with all observations of the contemporary world, this leads to the question if such doubts in the one or the other spatial formats are really new or if we can identify similar crisis of spatial orders in former historical configurations. The Summer School firstly addresses this subject with an emphasis on actors that stabilize or destabilize specific spatial formats through concrete actions in the context of existing spatial orders. We assume that action is pre-structured by cultural repertoire and existing institutions, and that spatilization is a central dimension of all social action. Secondly, we invite contributions that look at certain moments in historical developments when people become excited about new spatial formats and condemn old ones as “reactionary” or at least outdated. This is not necessarily an indicator that the spatial format loses its importance completely but that it changes its position within the general spatial order – think only of the different views on empires since the 18th century. Thirdly, we are interested in the effects both on the material world and the world of ideas and ideologies when spatial orders change. Such a respatialization is a complex process that constitutes global moments when similar processes occur in different parts of the world, both unintentionally and intentionally driven by certain actors. Behind these three dimensions of our topic is the enquiry of what may cause such changes in the spatial order and to what extent as well as in which ways we can attribute these changes to processes of globalization. Here we hope for diachronic comparisons that may help us to understand current processes against the experience with historical transformations. Contributions are expected from young researchers that have made considerable progress in their research so that they can already present (first) results from empirical studies as well as theoretical framing of their investigation.
Sequence of Events of the Summer School
The Summer School is organized into panels of 3–5 presentations each. Additionally, invited keynote speakers will introduce main aspects of the general theme. At the end of the Summer School, a round table with reports from the panels will bring the major findings together and integrate them into a final conclusion. Panels will be organized by young researchers who are invited herewith to submit applications containing a 1-page description (300 words) of the panel’s main goals and its relevance to the overall topic of the Summer School, plus a list of possible speakers with an indication if they have already agreed or have to be contacted after the acceptance of the panel. The selection of the panel will be undertaken by a committee of the Graduate School where supervisors as well as PhD candidates and postdocs are represented. Individual time slots will be assigned by the organizers of the Summer School, but preferences of participants will be taken into consideration. In addition, active participation in the discussions of the Summer School is expected. Keynotes and panel presentations can be conducted in English or German. The discussions are generally held in both languages.
Application
Young researchers interested in the topic are cordially invited to submit either a proposal for a panel or an individual paper by application to the Summer School. The application should include:
- Personal details, as well as academic status, including relevant academic affiliation.
- An abstract of 300 to 500 words, together with an explanation of its connection to the ongoing dissertation as well as its relevance to the overall topic of the Summer School.

In his recent article “Lost in Things” – Ethnologist Hans Peter Hahn cautions against an overestimation of material culture as providing stable, defining markers for cultural habits and the social order in past and present societies. Instead he invites his readers to consider the increasing and decreasing value of objects ascribed by both individuals and groups. The third Summer School Things that Matter 3 responds to this proposal by studying the instabilities (also) inherent in material objects and their changing uses and usability. The methodological and theoretical approaches of the Summer School are that of juxtaposition, dichotomy and temporality. We will discuss the relationship and the nature of objects of attention and objects of neglect, or everyday use. We will discuss the importance of the mundane. We analyse the relationship between so-called secular and sacred relics. We will address the recent interest in “Secondhandedness” and recycling as the second life of textiles and other household items. We look at the changing role of ruins and architectural remains from neglected site to monument of commemoration or a restored building with a new use. We discuss the role of objects in Public History. How does society approach the legacy of ‘things’ in museums and heritage institutions? Which objects are “worth keeping” and when? Who determines the selection process and what are selection criteria for curators, archivists and other agents in the sector?
