Curiosity and Commitment

Beschreibung

Curiosity and commitment are driving forces of the cultural sciences and anthropology – but they also serve as buzzwords within the Janus-faced guidelines of increasingly entrepreneurial university cultures. The authors contributing to this volume address the neoliberal reorganisation of European universities with a strong focus on the developments in the humanities. They investigate how the use of scientific curiosity and responsibility across Europe is shaped by changed policies concerning university teaching, research and funding, and pursue the question of how the potential of a curious, socially engaged cultural research can be utilised to productively confront and counteract power-political transformations.
