Postdoc, University of Amsterdam:
Cultural Transformations and Globalization

The study of globalization from the perspective of the humanities is particularly focused on how cultural practices – including literature, film, new media, and the visual and performative arts – engage with the increasingly transnational orientation and organization of contemporary society. Of special concern are the ways in which everyday experiences of transnationalism generate new forms and expressions of identity. Within this context, we are looking for a two-year postdoctoral project that connects one or more of the four main research clusters of the Faculty’s globalization programme: mobility, sustainability, aesthetics and/or connectivity.
