The CRC 1369 “Cultures of Vigilance” aims to research the historical and cultural foundations of vigilance. Within this context, “vigilance” refers to a linking of individual attentiveness to goals set by others. This linking occurs on an everyday basis, be it in the realm of public security, religion, law, or the healthcare sector. It happens wherever and whenever we are asked to pay attention to something specific and, if necessary, also to react to, or report anything we have noticed in a specific way. The CRC’s goal is to analyse the history, cultural variations and current forms of this phenomenon. Subdivided into three interdisciplinary research areas (transformations, spaces, and practices), the CRC includes 18 research projects as well as a research training group. The researchers stem from different faculties and academic fields, which include history, law, criminology, ethnology, history of medicine, medieval and modern literature, Japanese studies and Italian studies.
The research training group (Graduiertenkolleg) offers visiting fellowships (three to six months) for PhD students from Germany and abroad every year.
Additional support is offered by the GraduateCenter.
