About us

global dis:connect is an internationally oriented centre for advanced humanities research. It provides an intellectually open and collaborative environment for scholars examining historical and contemporary processes of globalisation.

 

Our research starts from a relational perspective: integration, disconnection, and disintegration are co-constitutive, not opposites. Migration, markets, and information circulate unevenly, encountering barriers, exclusions, and delays that are integral to globalisation itself. This perspective enables fellows to investigate the cultural, social, and interpretative dimensions of globalisation across disciplines.

Dis:connectivity

Globalisation is often depicted as steadily increasing integration. Yet such linear accounts overlook the interruptions, exclusions, and asymmetries that shape global processes in practice.

 

global dis:connect treats integration, disconnection, and disintegration as co-constitutive. Migration, markets, and information circulation are uneven and contingent, structured by social, cultural, and linguistic conditions. Rather than negating integration, disconnections are intrinsic to globalisation itself.

About us

The Käte Hamburger Research Centre “Dis:connectivity in Processes of Globalisation” (global dis:connect), which is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), examines the dynamic, co-constitutive relationship of global integration, absent connections and disintegration in current and historical processes of globalisation. The Centre emphasises the indispensability of the humanities in globalisation research, whose differentiated instrumentarium is required to recognize the social manifestations of processes of globalisation, their cultural contexts and their individual and collective interpretations.
