Doctoral Positions in the GRF-funded Research Training Group “Literature and the Public Sphere in Differentiated Contemporary Cultures” (M/F/d) (65%, E-13 TV-L)
The interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) aims to analyze contemporary literatures since 1945 in different public and cultural contexts. It examines the conditions that enable and influence different literatures in the public sphere, thereby focusing on their cultural specificities, potentials and functions. It uses a broad concept of literature, including the digitalization of society and its consequences, socio-cultural political and economic contexts, (inter-)mediality and media competition, institutional conditions, the literary industry and literary life as objects of enquiry.
The RTG considers literatures from different cultural contexts and language areas, including ‘small literatures’ and minority cultures on different continents. Accordingly, it investigates the interactions between literatures and public spheres in a differentiated manner. Adopting a comparative and transnational perspective, the RTG takes into account digital, praxeological, cultural studies and philological methods and supports research projects from social, media, material, ethical or economic studies.
