Lecture series “Hands On. Research Perspectives on Collections” – winter semester 2024/25

The lecture series ‘Hands-on. Research Perspectives on Collections’ explores the question of how researchers in their respective disciplines access collections and objects, how they question and utilise them for their research topics and which theoretical and methodological approaches they use to do so. Academics from the fields of Ancient American Studies, Conservation and Restoration Science, History of Medicine, Numismatics and Film Studies will present examples of collection and object research in their disciplines and will also discuss their research projects from the BMBF funding programme ‘Vernetzen – Erschließen – Forschen. Allianz für Hochschulsammlungens’ (https://wissenschaftliche-sammlungen.de/de/allianz2/).

Organisers:
Sarah Elena Link and Gesa Grimme

Lecture Series Heritage in Transformation – winter semester 2024/25

Käte Hamburger Kolleg | Centre for Advanced Study inherit. heritage in transformation

Lecture Series
Heritage in Transformation
22.10.2024 – 04.02.2025
Tuesday, 16.00-18.00 c.t.
Lecture Hall 3075, Main Building, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, 10117 Berlin

Public livestream is available here (no registration required), with the option to ask questions via chat: https://hu.berlin.zoom-x.de/j/63948996575.

Which pasts are valued and why? How has this changed historically and in what ways is it changing today? What gets to count as heritage and in what broader global and local transformations is this entangled? How can heritage be proactively changed to help address pressing social, political and environmental problems, including those of decolonization, cultural conflict and climate crisis? And how do the arts, humanities and social sciences need to be done differently to comprehend and enable the potential of such transformations?

This lecture series introduces and showcases exciting trans- and multi-disciplinary humanities approaches to such questions. It does so with a particular focus on the following three strands of ongoing transformation: the decentring of the West (Europe/Global North); the decentring of the Human; and the transformation of value. These three strands structure the research programme of the Humboldt University’s Käte Hamburger Kolleg | Centre for Advanced Study inherit. heritage in transformation. Lecture series contributors will be drawn from international fellows and inherit’s core team, which include artists of various media as well as researchers from a wide range of humanities and social sciences, such as anthropology, art history, history, literature, philosophy, political science, and sociology.

Lectures are followed by open sessions on Wednesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 c.t. at inherit. heritage in transformation, Charlottenstraße 42, 10117 Berlin.
