The research training group focuses on man as a travelling and narrating being. It intends to compare models of travel in various cultural areas and in different cultural epochs from antiquity to the present. The topic of travel separates philologies from national bonds and puts the topographical fixation of cultures, their pictorial and textual archives in a general temporal and spacial context. Therefore, the College´s work allows a new combination of historically and anthropologically oriented questions, which are situated on the margins of traditional disciplines and fields of research.First of all, it is concerned with the connection of new ways of presentation and questions of genre - which have been relevant since travel literature became popular in the Late Middle Ages, if not earlier -, with processes of change in the field of social history. Yet, topics regarding the transformation of modes of perception and types of experience will also be stressed, especially in their connection with current debates in cultural anthropology.Numerous particular problems (e.g. the history of the text forms "travel guide" and "travel journal", religious travel and its secularization, travel specific to gender and generation, ritual symbolism of initiatory journeys) are suited for integrative and cross-disclipinary analysis within the framework of the College´s research training. This also includes patterns and practices of representation, which evolve in confrontation with foreign cultures and places, and are related to culturally specific forms of travel (aristocratic, scholarly, artistic) or to migration and generalizations of mobility, as it is the case for instance in modern mass tourism.In its second period (October 2001 to September 2004), the College again offers a long-term program which will encompass several disciplines and focus on media and cultural theory. Lectures, research colloquia, workshops and symposia will be organized in cooperation with international scholars and guests.

研究培训小组的重点是人作为一个旅行和叙述的存在。它旨在比较从古代到现在的不同文化地区和不同文化时代的旅行模式。旅行的主题将语言学从国家债券中分离出来，并将文化的地形固定，他们的图片和文本档案置于一般的时空背景中。因此，该学院的工作允许历史和人类学为导向的问题，这是位于传统学科和研究领域的边缘新的组合。首先，它关注的是新的呈现方式和体裁问题的连接-这一直是相关的，因为旅行文学在中世纪后期流行，如果不是更早-社会历史领域的变化过程。然而，关于感知模式和经验类型的转变的主题也将得到强调，特别是在它们与当前文化人类学辩论的联系中。（如历史文本形式的“旅行指南”和“旅行日志”，宗教旅行及其世俗化，旅行具体到性别和世代，仪式的象征性启蒙之旅）适合在学院的研究培训的框架内进行综合和跨学科的分析。这还包括代表的模式和做法，这些模式和做法是在与外国文化和地方的对抗中演变的，并与特定文化的旅行形式有关（贵族，学术，艺术）或迁移和流动性的普遍化，例如在现代大众旅游中。（2001年10月至2004年9月），学院再次提供了一个长期的计划，将包括几个学科，并侧重于媒体和文化理论。将与国际学者和嘉宾合作举办讲座、研究座谈会、讲习班和专题讨论会。
