FELLOWSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT: COMPLEMENTARITY AND WHOLES WHICH ARE NOT ONE

The ICI Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry announces six post-doctoral
fellowships on the topic "Complementarity and Wholes Which Are Not One"
within the core project  "Tension/Spannung".

Like the notion of tension, that of ‘complementarity’ is deceptively
simple: it is just as unquestioningly embraced in some contexts as it is
rejected in others. The divergent attitudes towards complementarity  have
much to do with different ways in which this notion conjures up the figure
of a whole and specifies the relationship between parts.  With  the focus
for 2012-13, the ICI Berlin seeks to inquire about the  potential and
limits of complementarity for reconsidering questions of  totality, the
whole and the relation of parts within different fields  and to explore
further how diverse cultures and discourses can be  brought into productive
confrontation beyond indifferent coexistence and  violent conflict.

The ICI Berlin invites scholars from all disciplines – including literary
and art studies, history and philosophy of science, postcolonial, feminist
and queer studies, and the social sciences – to link their individual
projects to the topic of "Complementarity and Wholes Which Are Not One" and
 engage in a joint exploration with other fellows at the Institute. We
 especially welcome applications from individuals who will contribute to
 diversity and equal opportunity in scholarly research.

There is no age limit, but applicants should have obtained their PhD within
ten years of the date of appointment or have fulfilled all requirements for
receiving their PhD by then. Interested applicants should consult the
announcement at http://www.ici-berlin.org/fellowships/announcement/ and
send their application by e-mail only to the address indicated there.

Application deadline: 6 January 2012
