Principles of Cultural Dynamics

The Thematic Network PCD, based at Freie Universitaet Berlin, aims at strengthening transnational cooperation in humanities research.

The Thematic Network Principles of Cultural Dynamics, based at Freie Universitaet Berlin is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). It aims at strengthening transnational cooperation in humanities research between the Dahlem Humanities Center and the Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard University, the Humanities Center at The Johns Hopkins University, the Research Institute for th

e Humanities at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris. The choice of the network’s thematic focus, “Principles of Cultural Dynamics“, is based on the observation that the dynamics of processes of cultural change and innovation have varied considerably across historical time periods and places. The PCD network aims to research factors that may account for what triggers processes of cultural innovation, what respectively accelerates and hinders them, and what may cause them to subside entirely.
