VW Foundation Societal Transformation Grant: PRIVACY-CHINA

Digitalisation constitutes one of the biggest societal transformations of our time, radically affecting how governments, citizens and firms interact while posing enormous threats and opportunities. The governance of private information lies at the core of how societies navigate this societal digital transformation: Which surveillance rights do we grant the state? What personal information is made accessible to private companies to train AI-models?

Subproject of the Cluster of Excellence "Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective": The Invention of the Modern Religious Bookshelf: Canons, Concepts and Communities

The aim of the project is to analyse the formation of ‘religious literature’ as a special case of discursive practices in the transition from traditional to modern knowledge formations. It will reveal the specific ways in which religious literature has been excluded from the canon of “literature” in the narrower sense (especially from the canon of national literatures in the 19th century). More importantly, it will focus on the question how religious literature was given a new, peculiar place in the modern system of knowledge that opened a universal horizon – much in contrast to the new canons of national literatures and in interdependence with the new discipline of general and comparative religious studies that emerged in the 19th century.

Studien- und Forschungsbibliographie Chinesisch als Fremdsprache

Die in den letzten Jahren stark ansteigende Nachfrage nach sprachlich, pädagogisch und wissenschaftlich qualifizierten Chinesischlehrern hat auch zu einer Zunahme wissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Chinawissenschaften, Sprachwissenschaften und Erziehungswissenschaften geführt. Diese Bibliographie soll Studierenden wie Lehrenden ein erstes Fundament bieten, auf das für entsprechende sprachwissenschaftliche, fachdidaktische oder kommunikationwissenschaftliche Seminare und Abschlussarbeiten zurückgegriffen werden kann.
