CFP: International Summer School 2022 “The Ecological Imperative”

The Summer School takes the notion of an “ecological imperative” of cultural products as its starting point. We ask how specific formats of intermedial cultural production work to engender an ethical and political stance towards human resource management. A general ecological paradigm is part of a growing awareness of the image politics of climate change and the role of cultural sustainability, examined according to the principles of contemporary eco-aesthetics, literatures, and new documentary ecologies, but also as revisions of premodern ecological potentials.

The Summer School offers doctoral and postdoctoral scholars a unique opportunity to contribute to a broader discussion with their own research and ideas. We encourage applications from researchers from the humanities and the social sciences with a strong interest in theoretical debates in an interdisciplinary setting. The GSAH will cover your travel expenses as well as accommodation (double room) and meals at the Hotel Schloss Wartegg.
