The Discourse of Symbolic Elites and the War in Ukraine: A Polish-German Comparison:
This project aims to analyze the differences in the portrayal of the war in Ukraine in Polish and German public discourse and to examine their impact on relations between the two countries. The central research questions concern the key differences in the media coverage of the war in both countries, the intensification of these discourses over different periods, and the role of "discourses of fear" in shaping public opinion. The project also raises questions about the characteristics of the discourses of fear that emerged in the context of the war in Ukraine and their relevance to current Polish and German public debates.
Economic Agnosticism: Doubting Economic Knowledge in 19th Century Literature and Sociology.
The DFG-funded project examines how social knowledge about the monetary economy and the monetary sphere was problematized in France in the long 19th century. It is concerned with the way in which literature and sociology reflect on the possibilities and limits of knowledge and the ability to act in monetarily mediated relationships and negotiate problems of individual ethics and social orders. It examines doubts about the reasonability, observability, communicability and reproducibility of monetary knowledge that are articulated in literature and sociology.
Forschungsnetzwerk "War and Peace in Post-Socialist Space" (WARP)
Diesen Paradigmenwechsel, der eine breite (und längst fällige) Diskussion über Decentering und Dekolonisierung sowie um deren Grenzen in Gang setzte, will das beim BMFTR beantragte, an das UNDIPUS-Verbundprojekt anschließende, überregionale und interdisziplinäre Forschungsnetzwerk „War and Peace in Post-Socialist Space” (WARP) aktiv mitgestalten.
