DIAS event: Center for Subjectivity Research 2002-2024

20 Nov

Center for Subjectivity Research at the University of Copenhagen was established in 2002 on the basis of a grant from the Danish National Research Foundation (Danmarks Grundforskningsfond). Its three founders were a philosopher, a psychiatrist, and a professor of systematic theology.  Since then, it has had more than 80 employees, attracted more than 250 guest researchers, and secured external funding in excess of 140.000.000 DKK. Currently, its staff involves people with a background in philosophy, psychiatry, sociology, anthropology, and criminology. In my talk, I will outline the history of the center, present some of its distinctive features, and discuss how it over the years has facilitated interdisciplinary collaboration.About Dan ZahaviDan Zahavi is Professor of Philosophy and director of the Center for Subjectivity Research at the University of Copenhagen.

The Future of Archives in the Digital Age

27 Nov

The digital revolution has transformed the way we create, preserve, and access information, reshaping the role of archives in society.This talk explores the potential future of archives in the digital age, using one of the oldest philosophical archives and research institutes for philosophy in Germany – the Husserl Archives Cologne – as an example. Drawing on insights from phenomenology and digital humanities, it examines how digitalization challenges traditional notions of permanence, authenticity, and ownership. How do virtual repositories affect the human experience of accessibility and historical continuity? What implications does this have for cultural memory? About Thiemo BreyerThiemo Breyer is Professor of Phenomenology and Anthropology at the University of Cologne, where he also serves as Director of the Husserl Archives.
