The Forum Transregionale Studien is cooperating with the Max Weber Foundation to establish a Transnational Research Group
Call for Applications (PostDoc and PhD)
Beginning in 2017 the Max Weber Stiftung will support a Transnational Research Group of the German Historical Institute Paris in Dakar, Senegal, over a priod of five years and at a volume of 2.5 million euros. The Forum Transregionale Studien will take part as a cooperation partner in the research group and is represented in the project by the Africa historian Andreas Eckert (HU Berlin / Forum Transregionale Studien board).
Bureaucratization is both a global contemporary challenge and a complex historical process. Through discussion of theoretical models of bureaucracy and bureaucratization, the Transnational Research Group will investigate the history of bureaucratic practices, their expansion and adoption in the contexts of both the state and civil society. This will take place in four project lines. The first, transversally conceived line will consider the practices, techniques, conceptions and materialities of bureaucratization at a fundamental level. The three thematic lines will be devoted to politics, economics, as well as society and religion.
More information on the work and content of the Transnational Research Group is available in this interview with Séverine Awenengo Dalberto and Susann Baller, the academic coordinators of the research program: trafo.hypotheses.org/4691
