the centre
- The Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, investigates globalisation as a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of integration, disconnection, and disintegration. Our work focuses on understanding how connections emerge, fail, or remain absent, in both historical and contemporary contexts.
- the centre
research
- global dis:connect approaches globalisation through the lens of dis:connectivity, focusing on absences, detours and interruptions that shape historical and contemporary global processes. Rather than assuming linear integration, we examine the gaps, delays and disruptions that make globalisation uneven and socially significant.
  
  Our research is structured around six key areas – absences, detours, interruptions, laboratories, cultural infrastructures and temporalities – which foster interdisciplinary dialogue without normative assumptions or claims of completeness.
- research
fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

15 july, La buena vida (The Good Life) – film screening and artist talk with director Jens Schanze

Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary La buena vida (the good life) by German filmmaker Jens Schanze, followed by an artist talk with the director, moderated by Filipe Dos Reis.

Set in the forests of northern Colombia, La buena vida follows the Wayúu community of Tamaquito, whose traditional way of life is threatened by the expansion of the vast El Cerrejón coal mine. As the mining project continues to grow, community leader Jairo Fuentes enters negotiations with the mine’s operators in an effort to prevent the forced relocation of his people. While the villagers are promised the benefits of modernity and development, the Wayúu challenge prevailing notions of progress and prosperity, asking what constitutes a “good life” and who gets to define it.

The documentary has received numerous international awards, including the Bavarian Film Award for Best Documentary, the Robert Geisendörfer Award and several international prizes for sustainability and environmental filmmaking.
