Silke Reploeeg - 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.

Arctic Memory Cultures: coloniality on ice? Investigating global dis:connections & alternative futures

Arctic memory cultures are often seen as subject to, rather than active participants in imperial and colonial historical processes and narratives, yet are sites of multiple voices, significant geo-political domains, and concurrent national and colonial identities. Building on recent approaches to anti-/and decolonial perspectives in Arctic memory studies Silke‘s research at global:disconnect explores the relationships that shape cultural memory as an aspect of the coloniality of knowledge. Using both archival and published material, Silke studies the making and remaking of Artic Memory Cultures as both global and transnational memory spaces (Transnationale Erinnerungsorte) – but also shaped by the coloniality of global processes.
