Thematic Network DAAD

The thematic network, “Zones of Cultural Contact and Conflict in Eastern Europe” (2013-2016), explores imperial and national linguistic border zones, transitional regions and conflict zones as well as urban areas that are characterised by ethnic, linguistic, denominational and other culturally-shaped scenarios of contact and conflict. We also take into account those zones of conflict that no longer exhibit the rich cultural diversity they once possessed but in which this former diversity nevertheless still plays a significant role in memory and identity politics, as well as in historical and literary reflection.
