Anticipating Modernities
Online annual conference of the Excellence Cluster "Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective" at Freie Universität Berlin from July 6-8, 2022. The idea of modernity in literature will be the subject of an online conference open to the public that will be held at Freie Universität from July 6-8, 2022. The participants will discuss whether and to what extent this concept should be interrogated within the framework of modernity, given that in many cases it is entangled with grand narratives that are quintessentially Western. The "Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective" event will be online and open to the public. Participants are required to register via the conference software Webex. The "Anticipating Modernities" event will be held in English. This is the second annual conference of the Cluster of Excellence, which has been supported by the German federal and state governments' Excellence Strategy since 2019.
