Two PhD Scholarships, University of Heidelberg, Germany
The Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in a Global Context. Shifting Asymmetries in Cultural Flows” at the University of Heidelberg is offering
2 PhD scholarships (2 + 1 years)
within the Junior Research Group (JRG) “Cultural Transfer as a Factor of State Building”
The PhD students are expected to develop a PhD project within the JRG’s research focus on cultural transfer as a factor of state building in the Early Modern period. While the modern state used to be considered a genuine European phenomenon, the project is based on the assumption that cultural contact is always accompanied by cultural flow and that the creation of the modern state was part of changing asymmetries. Starting point is the observation that Early Modern Europeans engaged in Asia dealt with powerful or even superior partners, and experienced elaborate systems of governance and administration. The JRG will study the impact of this experience on the development of state building processes on several levels: How did cultural contact function within contact zones? How did Europeans and Asians communicate, and how did they perceive and translate cultural differences? How did the ‘receiving’ culture incorporate resulting knowledge into political theory? Can traces of an intended transfer or homologies in the structures of governance and administration be found in European and Asian political practice? Further information on the Cluster can be found at www.vjc.uni-hd.de/, for further information on the JRG’ research focus please contact Antje Flüchter fluechter@
