Fellowships: History and Memory in

[Fabian Katalin]

>
> The Körber Foundation and the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM)
> jointly award one Visiting Fellowship and two Junior Visiting
> Fellowships on “History and Memory in Europe”.
>
> The objective is to support projects that contribute to a
> transnational perspective on modern European history. They should
> not consider Europe as a given territorial entity but as a
> historical experience, a cultural imagination, and/or a political
> point of reference. By focussing on the discursive construction
> of Europe, projects are particularly invited to reflect the role
> of historiography as well as the position and significance of
> memory. This particularly includes a reflection on the different
> ways how history, historiography and memory are used and abused
> for political purposes and discourses of exclusiveness in the
> European context. Interdisciplinary approaches are highly
> welcome.
>
> The Körber Fellows are invited to spend six months at the IWM
> during the academic year 2004/2005 to pursue a research project
> of their choice within the objectives of the programme while
> working in residence at the institute. The fellows will receive a
> stipend to cover accommodation, living expenses, travel, health
> insurance and incidentals. Furthermore, fellows will be provided
> an office with personal computer and have access to e-mail and
> internet, in-house research facilities and other relevant sources
> in Vienna. The fellows will participate in the scholarly
> community and activities of the IWM. The fellowships may be taken
> up between July 2004 and June 2005.
>
> The finalists will be selected by an international jury of
> experts. Eligibility requirements and details about the
> application procedure can be found on the IWM website.
