3-21 August, global dis:connect at Mini-München - 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.
- 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.

events
- Here is where to find out about coming events, new publications, press releases and other news from global dis:connect.
- events
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
  - gd:c blog
  - static
  - podcast
- 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.

3-21 August, global dis:connect at Mini-München

This summer, three postdoctoral researchers from the Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect are bringing their research to the Hochschule of Mini-München, a temporary city run by children and young people.

Susanne Quitmann, Clemens Finkelstein and Aliena Guggenberger will explore questions of mobility, global connections and future spaces through talks and workshops: “Children on the Move: Tracing Histories”, “Mini-Mars” and “Global Fashion History”.

The contributions reflect key questions at the heart of global dis:connect: How do people, ideas and materials move across borders? Where do global connections emerge, and where are they interrupted or transformed?

By bringing their research into the experimental setting of Mini-München, our postdocs open up new ways of engaging with complex questions of globalisation beyond conventional academic contexts.
