New Publication - global dis:connect

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.

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.

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.

New Publication

The edited volume Nomadic Camera: Photography, Displacement and Dis:connectivities has been published. It emerged from the ‘Nomadic Camera’ workshop on 14–15 June 2023 at the Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The book brings together contributions from history, media studies, art, art history, and ethnology.

Edited by Burcu Dogramaci, Winfried Gerling, Jens Jäger, and Birgit Mersmann, the volume explores the “nomadic camera” as a mobile medium in the context of migration, flight, and displacement. The contributions examine technical, medial, and aesthetic practices, narratives of movement, as well as questions of archiving, circulation, and memory – opening new perspectives on photography as a medium of mobility.

Many alumni of the research centre contributed to the volume, which was funded by the Open Access Monograph Fund of the State of Brandenburg.
