Course contents

Research proposals are related to: a) transcultural approaches; b) studies in World Philology and have the following characteristics:
(a) Proposals from the humanities and social sciences that address connections in the North-African and Eurasian area by taking a
transcultural approach. The topic may be studied from a diachronic or a synchronic perspective and should transcend the specific
limitations imposed by more recent national and cultural boundaries and the institutions that reproduce them. Research objectives
may cover topics such as alternative visions of cohesion and transnational governance, multinational cooperation and its impact on collective identities, cross-cultural contacts and communication, cultural activities and attitudes, social engagement, narratives and
representations, the changing senses of aesthetics, and how these activities and attitudes challenge, disrupt or alter existing institutions, attitudes and practices.
(b) Research proposals within the “World Philology” field of study, a field of study that investigates philologies developed by different
cultures across time, take into consideration that critical text studies were not an invention that is exclusive to modern Europe or
Hellenistic Alexandria. Rather, the consideration of the status and composition of texts, as well as the clarification of their linguistic
features, is a cross-border phenomenon that exceeds any arbitrarily imposed limitations of time and space. Research proposals
that fall into this direction can include peculiarities of philological analysis and practices developed within a single cultural tradition,
but also the study of structured analogies and differences obtained from the comparison of philological practices of different cultural
traditions. It is also possible to study traceable historical contacts that connect the philological practices from different cultural
traditions. In addition to the study of methodologies and results of different philological approaches, applicants are invited to pay
particular attention to the historical and sociological study of individual and institutional actors that have shaped philological
practices, as well as to epistemological connections between the philological practices and the knowledge system established
within the cultures of reference.
Languages: Arabic, Aramaic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Chinese, Georgian, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Persian,
