Deadline: December 31, 2021
Due to the existing travel restrictions to prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading, with a heavy heart, we decided to offer the upcoming univie: winter school as an online program.
We are writing you to introduce our new online course program:
univie: winter school for Cultural Historical Studies – "The Discovery of Modernity - Vienna Around 1900"
February 5 - 18, 2022
The winter school courses provide a well-structured introduction to one of the most fascinating periods of Austria's intellectual history in a short time. The culture of the fin-de-siècle is one of the highlights in the history of the Habsburg Monarchy.
The two-week program offers a variety of academic courses taught live online. The courses are held by distinguished scholars with international teaching experience. The interdisciplinary lectures will lead to a thorough understanding of the input of the fin-de-siècle on the modernization of Europe.
The live online courses encourage interactive participation. These courses with international participants offer the possibility to discuss the influence of developments in Vienna (e.g. the famous psychoanalyst Freud, painters like Klimt and Schiele, musicians like Mahler and Schönberg or philosophers like Wittgenstein) on different cultures in Europe and other continents.
A welcome session will introduce the participants to the winter school and give them the opportunity to informally meet with the staff and each other.
The winter program also includes an online tour of Vienna's Ringstraße and Art Nouveau in Vienna.
Social online gatherings as well as group work in breakout rooms will encourage intercultural and social exchange between the students. Participants thus broaden their horizons, meet colleagues from different fields of study, and make new friends.
Having seen the academic program of your department, we believe that the courses offered at the univie: winter school for Cultural Historical Studies would complement your university’s course offerings perfectly.
Given the interdisciplinary aspect of the program, our course offerings are, without question, of interest for students from all fields of study, but certainly of special interest for students who study one of the following fields: History, Cultural Studies, Art, Literature, Psychology, and Political Science.
More information about the univie: winter school for Cultural Historical Studies can be found on our homepage at: http://shs.univie.ac.at/
Attached you will also find the PDF version of the folder for 2022 as well as the application form. We would greatly appreciate it if you would forward the information to your students. (The application deadline for the winter school is December 31, 2021.)
