The Berlin-based Forum Transregionale Studien invites scholars to apply for 5 postdoctoral fellowships in the framework of the research program "Zukunftsphilologie: Revisiting the Canons of Textual Scholarship"

Zukunftsphilologie is a Berlin-based research program, which supports research in marginalized and undocumented textual practices and literary cultures with the aim of integrating texts and scholarly traditions from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East as well as from Europe itself. The program takes as its point of departure the increasingly growing concern with the global significance of philology and the potential of philology to challenge exclusivist notions of the self and the canon.

Deadline for application:15 January 2013
