Philipp W. Stockhammer - global dis:connect

the centre
- The global dis:connect research centre, which is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, examines the dynamic, co-constitutive relationship of global integration, absent connections and disintegration in current and historical processes of globalisation.
- the centre
research
- By investigating global dis:connections, we are inaugurating a new field of research. It emphasises the role of delays and detours, of interruptions and resistances, of the active absence of connections in global contexts and investigates their social significance.
- 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.

Publications
- global dis:connect publishes innovative interventions on dis:connectivity across a range of media, from the blog, which covers the latest news, research and art at gd:c, to static, a periodical containing the best work from within and beyond global dis:connect, in addition to traditional scholarly formats.

Philipp W. Stockhammer

Philipp W. Stockhammer is a professor of prehistoric archaeology focussing on the Eastern Mediterranean at the LMU Munich and co-director of the Max Planck-Harvard Research Center for the Archaeoscience of the Ancient Mediterranean at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. He has received an ERC Starting Grant (2015), an ERC Consolidator Grant (2020) and is a PI of collaborative research projects on the Bronze and early Iron Ages from Central Europe to the Eastern Mediterranean. His research focuses on transculturality, social practices and the integration of archaeological and scientific data concerning social belonging, mobility, food and health.

Philipp joined global dis:connect funded by the LMU.

Project

In my research, I focus on the dis:connectivities I confront as a (pre-) historian: the transformative power of dis:connectivity in the past and the challenge of narrating the past between othering and nostrification. I link ground-breaking new datasets in our narratives with postmodern lines of thinking in archaeology. In my research, I reflect upon dis:connectivity in the Bronze Age, i.e. the first globalised period in world history. While analysing the role of those actors in the past, I aim to find a way to narrate their history – despite neither knowing their names nor their feelings and emotions, aware that those aspects are crucial for enabling present actors to dis:connect with the past.
