The Cluster of Excellence "Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective" commenced its work on 1 January, 2019. The project aims to re-conceptualise literature in a global perspective, positing that temporal entanglements crucially contribute to how literature becomes global. The Cluster builds its dynamic and flexible platform for collaborative research through an extensive fellowship programme, a global network of academic institutions and cooperations with partners in Berlin's vibrant literary and artistic scene.
From October 24-26, 2019, the Cluster's Grand Opening explores how literature manifests itself as a multi-faceted practice at the nexus of academia, art and culture.
