Julia Burkhardt - 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.

outreach
- At global dis:connect, research is meant to circulate. Through publications, media formats and artist events, we connect academic research with public debate and artistic perspectives.
- outreach
- 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.

Julia is a professor of medieval history at LMU Munich. Her research focuses on the political, cultural and gender history of the late Middle Ages and early modern period. She is currently investigating femicide and violence against women in the global premodern. Her other projects examine female agency in premodern Central Europe, forms of political representation and decision-making, as well as monastic communities and their narrative collections (exempla).

Femicide in the global premodern

Throughout history, women have been killed by men because of their gender, gender-specific social roles, or societal expectations. Every killing tells a story: one of the perpetrators’ claims to superiority and control; of social hierarchies; of practices of punishment; or of social reactions. This project explores analytical approaches to such cases, attempting to provide new insights into the social hierarchies and gender relations in the global premodern.
