| 04/02 – 04/10 | HUMAN DIFFERENTIATION: UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURAL MAKING OF HUMAN CATEGORIES This year’s spring school pays specific attention to the processes of differentiation and categorization and traces them along different axes, such as dis/ability, gender, sexuality, race, religion, age, class or human/non-human (such as animals or machines). By taking the temporal variability of processes of differentiation into account, we ask: how is difference textured, diluted, and performed? The spring school thus ties into a variety of contexts and relates to different fields, such as spatial planning, the formation of institutions, verbal and non-verbal communication, technology, diverse forms of representation, and other cultural practices. | SFB 1482: Human Differentiation |  |
