Research of
transfers and entanglements has been a vital field of inquiry in history of
science for several decades. Various studies have highlighted the role of
contacts across languages and questioned the cultural and power dichotomies proposing
terms like transculturality, pluriculturality or appropriation as most adequate
for research on entangled spaces.
Our
conference follows this direction of critical inquiry enlarging it to Central
European space revising the contacts and intersections that one usually calls
German-Polish. It seeks for alternative ways to tell the stories of scholarly
entanglements in the space shaped by power inequalities, imperialism and nationalisms.
In particular, we aim at questioning the widespread center-periphery dependence,
which has implicitly and often explicitly dominated the approaches to research
thus far. By choosing the perspective on entanglements, we also consciously
argue against “methodical nationalism” highlighting pluricultural multilingual
space as the primary object of our inquiry.
The
conference if open to public and free of charge. Since papers will be
precirculated, organizers ask for registration with
jan.surman@herder-institut.de.
