Grant
New grant for research in postmigrant alliances
Associate Professor Moritz Schramm from the Department of Culture and Language receives DKK 6 million from the Independent Research Fund Denmark for a project, which explores new forms of cultural and political alliances in Denmark, the United Kingdom and Germany
In contemporary public debates, political and cultural conflicts are often structured around fixed identity groups defined by ethnicity, religion, gender or sexuality.
This projects focuses on emerging alliances that challenge these frameworks by moving beyond stable identity categories and rigid distinctions between marginalized and non-marginalized positions in society.
New insights into postmigrant collaboration
The project The Power of Postmigrant Alliances (PoPA) examines so-called postmigrant alliances that foster inclusive cooperation across ethnic, cultural, religious, class and gender boundaries.
Through analyses of art, literature and interventions in the public sphere, PoPA investigates how these alliances articulate their political and aesthetic strategies and how they attempt to establish new, often independent, institutional frameworks.
Drawing on postmigration studies, affect theory and theories of aesthetic infrastructures, PoPA offers a new transnational perspective on the cultural impact and societal potential of postmigrant alliances in contemporary Europe.
