Contested Properties: Culture, Rights and the Humanities

International Osnabrück Summer Institute on the Cultural Study of the Law

http://www.osi.uni-osnabrueck.de/

The fifth International Osnabrück Summer Institute on the Cultural Study 
of the Law will be held from August 4 to 16, 2014, at the University of 
Osnabrück, Germany. Hosted by the Institute of English and American 
Studies (IfAA), the Osnabrück Summer Institute seeks to bring together 
advanced graduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral students of the humanities 
and/or the law from around the world to promote and examine the 
interdisciplinary study and research of law and culture.

During the two week program, students will partake in a unique 
experience of scholarly collaboration and exchange through workshops, 
public lectures, panel discussions, excursions and a final symposium. 
Participating faculty in this year's Summer Institute include:

* Rosemary J. Coombe (York University, Toronto)

* Helle Porsdam (University of Copenhagen)

* Fiona Macmillan (Birkbeck School of Law, University of London)

* Karen-Margrethe Simonsen (Aarhus U)

* Joseph Slaughter (Columbia U)

* Leti Volpp (U of California, Berkeley)

with more faculty to be announced in the upcoming weeks.

The Institute will offer a total of four workshops for 20-30 
international participants (doctoral, post-doctoral and advanced M.A. – 
see below for eligibility) over a two-week period. The first workshop 
will be concerned with basic theories, concepts and perspectives within 
the emerging field of cultural legal studies, focusing specifically on 
the range and potential of interdisciplinary studies and approaches. The 
remaining three workshops will focus on key areas of critical inquiry 
that have been central to the dynamic development of the field:

* The tripartite relationship between culture, cultural rights, and the 
nation state

* The historical development and current debates about culture as 
heritage, property and as a resource and its legal definition and 
regulation (including concepts such as copyright, intellectual property 
and authorship)

* The cultural presence and representation of the law and the role of 
culture in the representation and dissemination of the concept of rights 
(e.g. law and literature, life writing and human rights, visual culture 
and rights rhetoric)

The Summer Institute aims at advanced graduate, doctoral, and 
postdoctoral students from various academic fields whose research 
interests and projects are situated at the interface between law and the 
humanities and who are concerned with a better understanding of the 
interdependence of law and culture.

Even though the Institute strongly invites students from a broad variety 
of disciplines and academic backgrounds, it focuses almost exclusively 
on questions and issues related to research done in the humanities and 
legal studies.

Doctoral candidates in literature, the law, the arts, the humanities, 
and the related social sciences are invited to apply, as are advanced 
students pursuing a J.D. or its equivalent (such as the L.L.B). Young 
scholars or junior faculty members who have received a Ph.D. or 
corresponding degree in the last five years are also eligible. While 
applications by doctoral/post-doctoral students are prioritized, the 
Summer Institute also encourages applications from advanced Master 
students about to conclude their studies and with a strong interest in 
interdisciplinary research. There are openings for 20-30 students to 
participate in the Summer Institute.

Due to its international audience, the Summer Institute will be 
completely conducted in English. It does not offer language instruction 
classes, either in German or in English.

Applicants should complete the application form on our website 
(http://www.osi.uni-osnabrueck.de/).

Advanced Masters students and graduate students (PhD and post-doc) 
interested in taking part in the Summer Institute should submit their 
applications no later than April 6, 2014. Detailed information about the 
Institute, the workshops, international faculty, admission and fees can 
be found at: http://www.osi.uni-osnabrueck.de/
