Project | Extended Funding Period: Research Training Group 2726

The German Research Association (DFG) has extended the funding period for the research training group “The Sentimental in Literature, Culture, and Politics”, of which Heike Paul is the speaker.

The research training group examines forms and functions of the sentimental in synchronic and diachronic perspectives, conceiving of the sentimental as a communicative and relational code which can draw on emotional knowledge and activate empathy. The disciplines collaborating in the research training group are American Studies, English Studies, Media Studies, Political Science, Chinese Studies, and Sociology.
