> 'Europe in the Middle East - The Middle East in Europe'
> supports historical-critical philology, rigorous engagement
> with the literatures of the Middle East and their histories,
> the social history of cities and the study of Middle
> Eastern political and philosophical thought (Christian,
> Jewish, Muslim, and secular) as central fields of
> research not only for area or cultural studies, but also
> for European intellectual history and other academic
> disciplines. The program explores modernity as a historical
> space and conceptual frame. The program puts forward
> three programmatic ideas:
> 1) supporting research that demonstrates the rich and
> complex historical legacies and entanglements between
> Europe and the Middle East; 2) reexamining genealogical
> notions of mythical 'beginnings', 'origins', and 'purity'
> in relation to culture and society; and 3) rethinking
> key concepts of a shared modernity in light of contemporary
> cultural, social, and political entanglements that
> supersede identity discourses as well as national,
> cultural or regional canons and epistemologies that were
> established in the nineteenth century.
> The program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East
> in Europe' is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
> It supports and builds upon the following interconnected
> research fields:
