The Konstanzer Meisterklasse is an international annual convention of
renowned scholars and a group of doctoral and postdoctoral Fellows from
the cultural and social sciences. It provides a supportive and
stimulating environment for intensive scholarly debate and intellectual
exchange, in the beautiful surroundings of Lake Constance. In the
morning sessions, one of the Masters gives a lecture, in the afternoon
there are short presentations by participating Fellows.
Already in 1999, the Konstanzer Meisterklasse was established as an
innovative form of academic exchange by Bernhard Giesen. Over the years,
Meisterklassen have been chaired by eminent scholars like Zygmunt
Bauman, Mary Douglas, Clifford Geertz, Reinhart Koselleck, John R.
Searle, and Hayden White.
This years Konstanzer Meisterklasse ("Performativity) will take place
from July 18 - 26, 2011. It will be chaired by Jeffrey Alexander (Yale
University), Elisabeth Bronfen (Universität Zürich), Richard Schechner
(New York University) and Christoph Wulf (Freie Universität Berlin).
In case you wish to present your work, which is not required, you may
add a short abstract of your planned contribution (about 20 minutes).
Please be aware that the available slots for presentation are limited so
that we cannot make any promises.
Participation is limited to 25 selected Fellows. Working language is
English. Application deadline is 31 May. Postgraduate students may apply
for a grant partly covering their expenses.
