In the winter semester 2024/25, Paderborn University will host the lecture series ‘Concepts of Europe from an interdisciplinary perspective’ for the second time. Academics from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics will once again present perspectives on the phenomenon of ‘Europe’ based on specific examples from their disciplines. The event, which always takes place on Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. in lecture theatre H2, is part of the new ‘European Studies’ course in the Master's in Culture and Society, but is also explicitly aimed at a wider audience as part of the Studium Generale.
The topics of the individual lectures range from the European power system of the early modern period to the American view of European philosophy and the perspectives of gender studies on the European Union. In addition to researchers from Paderborn, guest speakers from Le Mans, Berlin and Madrid will also be taking part in the lecture series. On Thursday, 5 December, Prof. Dr Daniela Gretz and Dr des. Tillmann Heise from the Institute of German Lanuguage and Comparative Literature at Paderborn University will speak on the topic ‘From “Secret Germany” to “Secret Europe”. Transnational nationalisms in Stefan George and Hugo von Hofmannsthal’.
