I kindly ask you to spread the information

cultures.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
10 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR ACADEMIC
YEAR 2011/12
(Location Berlin / Deadline: 10 January 2011)
The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences,
the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and the
Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin invite scholars
to apply for ten post-doctoral fellowships
for the research program
EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - THE MIDDLE EAST
IN EUROPE
This research program seeks to rethink key
concepts and premises that link and divide
Europe and the Middle East. The project draws
on the international expertise of scholars in
and outside of Germany and is embedded in
university and extra-university research
institutions in Berlin. 'Europe in the
Middle East - The Middle East in Europe'
supports historical-critical philology,
rigorous engagement with the literatures of
the Middle East and their histories, the social
history of cities and the study of Middle
Eastern political and philosophical thought
(Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and secular)
as central fields of research not only for
area or cultural studies, but also for
European intellectual history and other
academic disciplines.
The program explores modernity as a
historical space and conceptual frame.
The program puts forward three programmatic
ideas:
1) supporting research that demonstrates the
rich and complex historical legacies and
entanglements between Europe and the Middle East;
2) reexamining genealogical notions of mythical
'beginnings', 'origins', and 'purity' in relation
to culture and society; and
3) rethinking key concepts of a shared modernity
in light of contemporary cultural, social, and
political entanglements that supersede identity
discourses as well as national, cultural or
regional canons and epistemologies that were
established in the nineteenth century.
The program 'Europe in the Middle East -
The Middle East in Europe' supports and builds
upon the following interconnected research fields:
CITIES COMPARED: CHANGING MODES OF URBAN LIFE IN
THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN AND ADJACENT REGIONS'
This research group is directed by Ulrike Freitag
and Nora Lafi, both of the Zentrum Moderner
Orient, Berlin. It contributes to the
debate on plurality, citizenship and civil
society from the historical experience of
conviviality and socio-cultural, and religious
differences in the cities around the Mediterranean;
ISLAMIC DISCOURSE CONTESTED: MIDDLE EASTERN AND
EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES
This research group is directed by Gudrun Kraemer,
Institute for Islamic Studies, Freie Universitaet
Berlin. It analyzes modern Middle Eastern thought
and discourses in the framework of theories
of multiple or reflexive modernities;
PERSPECTIVES ON THE QUR'AN: NEGOTIATING DIFFERENT
VIEWS OF A SHARED HISTORY
This research group is directed by Angelika
Neuwirth, Seminar for Arabic Studies,
Freie Universitaet Berlin, and Stefan Wild,
Universitaet Bonn. It situates the
foundational text of Islam within the
religious and literary landscape of late
antiquity, early Islamic History and
Arabic philology, and combines a
historicization of its genesis with
an analysis of its hermeneutics, its
reception and perception in Europe
and the Middle East;
TRAVELLING TRADITIONS: COMPARATIVE
PERSPECTIVES ON NEAR EASTERN LITERATURES
This research group is directed by
Friederike Pannewick, Centrum für
Nah- und Mitteloststudien, Philipps-Universitaet
Marburg, and Samah Selim, Rutgers University.
It reassesses literary entanglements
and processes of canonization between
Europe and the Middle East.
TRADITION AND THE CRITIQUE OF MODERNITY:
SECULARISM, FUNDAMENTALISM AND RELIGION
FROM MIDDLE EASTERN PERSPECTIVES
This is a special forum, directed by
Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin, Ben Gurion
University, that attempts to rethink
key concepts of modernity like secularity,
tradition, or religion in the context
of the experiences, interpretations,
and critiques of Jews, Arabs,
and Muslims in the Middle East and in Europe.
PREREQUISITES AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE
The fellowships are intended above all for
scholars of art history, history, literature,
philology, political philosophy, political
science, religion and sociology who want
to carry out their research projects in
connection with the Berlin program. Fellows
gain the opportunity to pursue research
projects of their choice within the
framework of one of the above-mentioned
research fields and in relation to the program
'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East
in Europe'. In Berlin, they will be integrated
into a university or non-university research
institute. The working language of the
research program is English.
Fellows will receive a monthly stipend
of 2.250 (supplement for accompanying
spouses: 250 ), and are obliged to work
in Berlin and to help shape the seminars
and working discussions related to their
research field.
