November, 14-16, 2014 International Conference at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin at the Institut für Asien- und Afrikawissenschaften, Seminar für Südasienstudien/Department for South Asia Studies, Raum/Room 217
The international workshop “Beyond the Line – Cultural Constructions of the Sea” examines the relationship between land and sea. It investigates how the currently changing constellations in South-South relationships can be understood historically and culturally. If the active participation of the regions south of the Sahara since early modern times is denied, what is the situation today? And beyond that: is it justified in any way to attribute a historical insignificance to regions neighboring Africa on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans?
You are cordially invited to participate in the Situating Bangladesh in in South Asian Studies Workshop which will take place from 17th May to 19th May, 2013. A workshop conceived by Iftekhar Iqbal and Michael Mann.
In the 19th century, urbanization and industrialization changed the globe dramatically and were feared by many. The universalist education movement arose as a countercultural reaction to these developments. Idealists strove to create a new world and educate the “new man.” Shantiniketan and Hellerau paradigmatically represent the urge to counteract the drastic changes the world underwent back then. Initiated by the Deutsch-Indische Gesellschaft e.V. and the Department for South Asia Studies of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Kindly supported by: Institut für Asien und Afrikawissenschaften (IAAW), Indien-Stiftung e.V., Dr. Heinz-Horst Deichmann, Helmut Nanz
