Lost Cities. Perception of and living with abandoned cities in the
cultures of the world
The aim of the programme is to describe the tangible cultures
of interpretation, knowledge and perception within these different contexts.
Lost Cities are part of a distinct culture of memory, for example, which serves
for the negotiation of identities, the preservation of knowledge cultures, the
formulation of criticism of progress, or the construction of mythical or sacral
topographies as part of a veritable ruin cult. On this basis, the focus here
should not be on the question of which factors led to the citys abandonment.
Rather, it is the abandoned cities themselves that are of particular interest,
as well as the different forms of their interpretation, instrumentalization and
coding in various cultures and time frames.

* Oriented towards analysis of the present
situation and predictions for the future, focuses on Transformations of

are two program profiles: 1) research: focuses on one main topic; and 2) qualification:
enables doctoral researchers to produce independent research findings with
international visibility, and simultaneously qualify for domestic and
international academic and non-academic job market.
International
research training groups are structured doctoral programs run by German
universities in conjunction with universities abroad, promoting systematic
research cooperation from the partner group.
There is a
two-stage proposal process: draft proposal that leads to invitation for full
proposal. Funding is for nine years in two 4.5 year segments.
