Ancient history and epigraphy

The joint international research training group of the Universities of Graz and Erfurt aims to bring together research in ancient studies and biblical studies with sociological research. The subject is the relationship of the individual to the social, material and transcendental world, which is established and reflected upon in various social and, above all, religious practices. The central question here is under what conditions and with what consequences such self-world relationships are experienced as resonant, i.e. as dialogical-responsive. The exciting interdisciplinary cooperation across two complementary locations allows for a material-saturated comparison as well as the development of new methods, and thus a high-quality education of doctoral students.
