Volkswagen Foundation funds new projects for Fiction Meets Science!

The new projects will focus on narratives that explore and reflect the global dimensions and diverse regional contexts of science. Here we also expand our purview beyond literary fiction to take a comparative look at science narratives in a variety of media and forms of fiction and non-fiction, such as feature film and TV series, theater, documentary and print journalism.

Ph.D. and Post-doctoral Fellowships: Call for Applicants

The positions are based at the cooperating FMS universities and institutions, all located within an hour of each other in northwestern Germany. Applicants should have backgrounds in sociology, literature studies, cultural studies, STS, media and communication studies, environmental studies, Asian studies, or a related field. 1.Transcultural Mobility of Scientists and Science in the Contemporary Anglophone Science Novel

2. Science in Post-colonial Speculative Fiction: Nature/Politics/Economies Reimagined

This project examines the contemporary rise of utopian/dystopian postcolonial speculative fiction and asks how a focus on the “Global South” is influencing imaginings of future societies and the role of science at the nexus of nature, politics, and economics. Research will consider how cultural products that imagine future societies can be read as social critique and related to sociological knowledge. Project language is English; knowledge of German would be a welcome asset, but is not required.

Advisor: Sina Farzin, Assistant Professor for Social Theory in the Institute for Sociology at the University of Hamburg and a co-director of Fiction Meets Science.
