GRK 625: Institutional Orders, Writing and Symbols

欧洲研究培训小组忙于对制度秩序的分析。主要关注的是媒体、传播过程和这些秩序的历史嵌入性。根据制度分析的方法，我们区分了媒介的象征维度和工具维度，其中文化形态总是被客观化。这些媒介——尤其是文字媒介，以及人体的符号系统或建筑和图片媒介——所实现的复杂稳定，因此可以用一种历史上的差异化和分析上的创新方式来解读。与此同时，德累斯顿工业大学和巴黎高等农业学院（巴黎）之间的教员合作在法国和德国的文化研究方面卓有成效地综合了观点和传统。该课程旨在整合不同类型的课程和研究培训小组的两个部分的教育，并应导致两国文凭（“th<e:1> se co-tutelle”）。研究培训小组还与合作研究中心537“Institutionalität und Geschichtlichkeit”密切联系，涉及人员，方法和理论。

The European research training group is occupied with the analysis of institutional orders. The main focus is on the media, the communicative processes and the historical embeddedness of such orders. According to the method of institutional analysis the Kolleg is based upon, we distinguish a symbolic and an instrumental dimension of the media, in which cultural formations are always objectified. The complex stabilizations achieved by such media - especially the medium of writing, but also the symbolic systems of the human body or the media of architecture and pictures - can thus be deciphered in a historically differentiated and an analytically innovative way. At the same time, the faculty cooperation between the Technical University of Dresden and the Ecole pratique des hautes études (Paris) creates a fruitful synthesis of perspectives and traditions in Cultural Studies in France and Germany. The curriculum is designed to integrate the different types of programs and the education of both parts of the research training group and should lead to a binational diploma ("thèse co-tutelle"). The research training group is also closely connected to the collaborative research centre 537 "Institutionalität und Geschichtlichkeit" concerning persons, method, and theory.
