Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This class provides insight into the fields of historical transformation studies and migration history and takes place in conjunction with the "Transformative Seminar" of the Research Center for the History of Transformation (RECET). Our concept of transformation is inspired by Karl Polanyi and looks beyond the hegemonic post-1989 teleologies of marketization and democratization. This approach also allows us to take a long-durée perspective on transformations in both "East" and "West" and in different historical contexts, with emphasis on the interdisciplinary connections to sociology, economics, and cultural and social anthropology. Half of the sessions will be talks and discussions by external speakers invited to the RECET Transformative Seminar. For the other classes, participants will suggest texts relevant to their own projects that we will discuss together.
