Benedikt Stuchtey



Professor of Modern History, Philipps University Marburg

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
March 2018

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Die europäische Expansion und ihre Objekte. Materielle Kultur in der Geschichte des Kolonialismus«

Project outline:
Das Projekt befasst sich mit der Geschichte der materiellen Kultur der europäischen Expansion zwischen 1750 und den 1960er Jahren. In seinen Mittelpunkt stellt es alltägliche Gegenstände, an denen die Signaturen verschiedener europäischer Imperialismen abgelesen werden können. Die untersuchten Objekte sollen als materielle Zeitgenossen mit ihren Zeitläuften und Bedeutungswandeln, die sich an ihnen abzeichnen, verstanden werden. Sie sind Scharnierstellen und Anknüpfungspunkte, die sich dazu eignen können, um aus ihnen Fragen der Geschichte der europäischen und nicht-europäischen Imperialismen zu erschließen und die Entwicklung sozialer Ordnungen und Ordnungssysteme in der Kulturgeschichte sozialer, politischer und ökonomischer Bedingungen zu erkunden. (Benedikt Stuchtey)

Benedikt Stuchtey follows the invitation of Christoph Cornelißen (Professor of Modern and Recent History at Goethe University) and the History Programme of the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften. His visit is part of the programme's key subject in 2017/18: »End of Empires«.
