NYU’s Deutsches Haus will host “Knowledge in Motion,” a panel discussion featuring researchers from Berlin’s Collaborative Research Centre’s “Episteme in Motion,” on Mon., Oct. 16, 6:30 p.m. at its Greenwich Village location (42 Washington Mews at University Place).
Knowledge is always in motion, even – and especially – where it appears to remain stable and tradition-bound. For example, pre-modern institutions and communities were regularly engaged in vibrant transcultural relations while their systems of knowledge were subject to constant change.
The Collaborative Research Centre’s “Episteme in Motion” project analyzes the economies of knowledge transfer in selected pre-modern cultures from Europe and beyond. It draws on several academic disciplines, including Arabic Studies, Jewish Studies, Classics, and Medieval and Early Modern Literatures.
This event, which will feature the centre’s Gyburg Uhlmann, Andrew James Johnston, and Anita Traninger, is presented in collaboration with the German University Alliance and the New York Liaison Office of Freie Universität Berlin.
