Ganzheitliches Denken gab es immer – ob nun als Kosmos, Totalität oder Absolutes … Auch heute erlebt die Idee, unsere Welt(en) und das vielfältige Wissen darüber wieder umfassend zusammenzudenken, neue Aufschwünge – ob nun als ganzheitliche Medizin, Globalgeschichte, big data oder Erdsystemwissenschaft … Das ist kein Zufall, geriet die Idee um das Ganze doch im… Read More Formen des Ganzen bei Alexander von Humboldt

23. April 2023

3. April 2023

Als Flüchtling kam Adelbert von Chamisso in den Wirren der französischen Revolution nach Deutschland. Seine Heimat und seine Sprache hatte er verloren – in der Fremdsprache Deutsch begann er zu dichten, erfand die Gestalt des schattenlosen Peter Schlemihl und wurde damit berühmt.

2. April 2023

Objects of the material world of the old faith were alienated from their original purpose, desecrated and refashioned for the liturgy of the new faith. Existing discourses and rituals were… Read More Locating the Self, Negotiating the Other: Imperial Expansion and Conversion in the Early Modern Period, Department of Eastern European History at the University of Münster, 05.10.2023 – 07.10.2023
