In Kürze findet der uniweite Wechsel von ePub auf KSL statt. KSL wird ePub im Sommer 2013 als Noten-Verwaltungsprogramm ablösen. Dazu werden alle in ePub eingetragenen Leistungen (und Noten) in KSL transferiert.

Wir empfehlen allen Studierenden nachdrücklich, sich ihr aktuelles ePub-Studienblatt auszudrucken und dieses gut aufzubewahren, um bei einem unvorhergesehenen Datenverlust abgesichert zu sein. Weitere Informationen zur Umstellung finden Sie auf der Seite des Vizerektorats Lehre.

Strategies of the Interior: Anachronisms, Discontinuities, Narratives

International Workshop
16 May 2013, University of Bern, room 201 (main building)
17 May 2013, Villa Mettlen, Muri bei Bern

This workshop is part of the activities of the Bern based SNSF Sinergia project “The Interior”. It aims to provide a forum for exploring strategies and notions of the interior in diverse cultural contexts. Among the topics of focus are interiors as sites or signifiers of social, cultural, and religious interactions; narratives generated and stimulated by inhabited interiors; and the construction of interior spaces that refer to, represent and recreate different origins, experiences, and identities. Papers address the permeability and ambiguity of interior spaces, experienced as oscillating between private and public as well as between interior and exterior worlds.

Attendance is free of charge but due to limited seats, registration is required until 5 May 2013. Contact: Michèle Seehafer, Project Assistant, michele.seehafer@ikg.unibe.ch

Interiority, Ethics, and Religion in Counter-Reformation Italy”

Open Seminar with Prof. Wietse de Boer, Miami University (Ohio)

Wietse De Boer is Professor of History at Miami University in Oxford/OH. He teaches courses on Renaissance and Reformation Europe, as well as the graduate course on Theories of History. Most of his publications focus on the Italian Counter-Reformation.

The latter project investigates modes, discourses and practices of perception in connection with codes of conduct, spiritual practice, literary representation, and artistic expression.

The seminar will be held in English. Student attendance will be credited with 1 ECTS. A written response of 2 pages (in German or English) is to be handed in to Dr. des. Tabea Schindler by 16 June 2013 (tabea.schindler@ikg.unibe.ch).
