[ecrea] PhD Studentship at the University of Warwick (UK): Heinrich von Kleist and Post-war German cinema

>Fully-funded (AHRC) PhD studentship at the University of Warwick.
>
>Heinrich von Kleist and Post-war German cinema.
>
>We are looking to recruit a suitable candidate 
>for a full-time PhD studentship at the 
>University of Warwick investigating 
>representations of Kleists life and works in 
>post-war German cinema. The PhD will be one 
>element of a three-year AHRC-sponsored research 
>project entitled Kleist, Education and 
>Violence. The Transformation of Ethics and 
>Aesthetics. The other members of the team are 
>Prof Ricarda Schmidt (PI, University of Exeter), 
>Dr Seán Allan (CI, University of Warwick) and Dr 
>Steven Howe (Post-doctoral researcher, 
>University of Exeter). The PhD element of the 
>project will be based at the University of 
>Warwick under the supervision of Dr Seán Allan.
>
>The key objective of the research project as a 
>whole is an exploration of the aesthetic and 
>ethical transformations of eighteenth-century 
>discourses in Kleists work. These 
>transformations will be considered from two 
>distinct ­ but nonetheless related ­ 
>perspectives: education and violence. The 
>project has created an opportunity for a PhD 
>dissertation that analyses the ways in which 
>film-makers have sought to re-appropriate and 
>re-define the myth of Kleist in their work at 
>different historical moments. The precise topic 
>and scope of the PhD is, however, not prescribed 
>and will be determined by the candidates particular interests.
>
>The candidate must have at least an upper second 
>class BA (Hons) degree in German Studies, Film 
>Studies or a related joint honours degree. An MA 
>qualification in a relevant field would be a 
>distinct advantage. Applicants from Film Studies 
>should note that strong language skills in 
>German are essential as very little of the 
>primary material is available in translation.
>
>The studentship will run from 1 January 2011 to 
>31 December 2013 and includes full tuition fees 
>at the UK/EU rate, plus maintenance at the 
>current AHRC rate (approx £13, 290 p.a). The 
>project also has a budget for the candidate to 
>attend an annual conference in Europe. Please 
>note that only citizens of the EU are eligible 
>for these studentships and that the annual 
>stipend can only be paid to candidates who 
>satisfy the AHRCs requirements of UK residency, 
>details of which are available from the AHRC 
>website. 
>See:<http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/FundingOpportunities/Documents/Guide%20to%20Student%20Eligibility.pdf>
