Recent research in history of knowledge has reevaluated the idea of how diversity was managed and lived in the 19th century in Central Europe. Be it postcolonial or translation turns, the previously dominating categories of research dominated by methodological nationalism, can be seen but obsolete. Our workshop takes these latest turns in historiography and cultural sciences as the point of departure and asks the question on how the newly emerging categories of linguistic/cultural/ethnic distinction have influenced knowledge production in the region. How were the new categories of belonging constructed, and what was their relation to the new statistic and sociological research? How in turn did the public sphere of the nationalizing center of imperial power (Budapest), itself culturally dominant and dominated by the German language, react to the new developments when facing the paradigmatic transnational, albeit also German-dominated sphere of scientific research?

Workshop "Knowledge and Diversity" You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
