'Knowledge on the Move' is the theme of the 2010 Summer School organised by the 'Asia and Europe in a Global Context' Cluster of Excellence at Germany's Heidelberg University. From 25 – 29 July, young scholars from all over the world, including Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, will discuss the encounters between European and Asian knowledge since the early modern age.
“Global exchange of knowledge is by no means a purely modern, let alone postmodern phenomenon,” says Prof. Joachim Kurtz, the organiser of the Summer School. “Knowledge migration has played a central role in the evolution of knowledge cultures at all times and in all regions of the world.” Accordingly, one of the central issues addressed by the summer school will be the way in which knowledge has changed on its passage through the various regions, cultures and polities.
The programme of the summer school at the Karl Jaspers Centre for Advanced Transcultural Studies encompasses lectures, seminars and workshops. The list of international speakers includes Dhruv Raina of the Jawaharlal Nehru University of New Delhi, Rivka Feldhay of the University of Tel Aviv and Hugh Shapiro of the University of Nevada in USA. A special feature is the course on 'Digital Storytelling in the History of Science and Thought' that introduces new methods of presenting research and philosophy through digital narrative techniques such as podcasts and short films.
The 2010 Summer School is directed towards advanced and doctoral students working in the fields of the history of science and technology, art history, sociology, philosophy, anthropology and East, South and Southeast Asian studies. Last year, young scholars from the Netherlands, Portugal, China, the United States and other countries attended the event.
