Fachgebiet: Religionswissenschaft In Deutschland: 01.10.2021 - 30.09.2026 Projektbeschreibung des Gastgebers Professor Chitando is an international authority in the study of the role of religions in the process of societal changes in contemporary Africa. He developed a strategy to transform religious studies into an 'embedded', context-sensitive branch of humanities, and contributed in creating a new way of religious studies which combines an analysis "sine ira et studio" with the post-colonial dynamics of remodeling religious traditions in the context of contemporary challenges. His focus is especially on the impact of Africa's religions (Christianities, Islamic movements, and African traditional religions) on the struggle against HIV/AIDS and the deep changes of gender concepts. During his time in Germany, he will continue with his research on the specific role of the Bible in the contemporary process of developing "redemptive masculinities".

Professor Dr. Brandon Dotson
Fachgebiet: Asienbezogene Wissenschaften In Deutschland: 01.06.2023 - 31.07.2023 Projektbeschreibung des Gastgebers Vom siebten bis zum neunten Jahrhundert wurde Tibet von einer Dynastie von Königen regiert, deren göttliches Recht zu herrschen sowohl in ihrer sakralen Natur als auch in dem gerechten Anspruch ihrer Regierung begründet lag. Mit dem Übergang des Königreiches zum Buddhismus in der Mitte des achten Jahrhunderts erfuhr die göttliche Natur des Königs einen grundlegenden Wandel. Wie andere buddhistische Könige auch, wurde er nun als universeller buddhistischer Monarch angesehen. Brandon Dotson untersucht die sakralen und politischen Aspekte dieses Wandels im tibetischen Königtum von den frühen Kontakten mit dem Buddhismus im siebten Jahrhundert bis zu dessen Dominanz ab dem elften Jahrhundert. Dotson verwendet vergleichende anthropologische Modelle und bezieht ähnliche Beispiele sakralen Königtums in China, Südostasien und Zentralasien in seine Untersuchungen ein. Seine Forschung trägt damit zur wichtigen Diskussion über die uralte und universelle Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen geistlicher und weltlicher Macht bei.

Professor Dr. Jozef Marian Galik
Fachgebiet: Asienbezogene Wissenschaften In Deutschland: 01.09.2006 - 30.11.2006 Projektbeschreibung des Gastgebers Professor Gálik is one of the last great scholars of Europe who has a universital education at his disposal. In contrast to many sinologists in East and West he has his home in many languages and traditions. Not only the quality but also the quantity of his publications may surpass many sinological institutions. Concering his discipline Professor Gálik is exemption as sinology in recent years prefers to stand on the political correct side and follow academic fashions of other disciplines. One of his great findings concerns the role of modern European literature in establishing modern Chinese literature. Many times he has shown that an understanding of Chinese literature in 20th century is impossible without sufficient knowledge of modern European languages and literatures. Something similar is true for his inside into the role which the bible plays in formation of modernity in China. Nowadays sinology be it in the East or in the West is for the most part free of religious concerns so that in most cases the religious character of Chinese modernity is not being recognized by scholars in Chinese studies. This is not true for Marián Gálik who in this respect is unique in the field of sinology. Since the seventies one can recognize that ideology plays a growing role in dealing with China. Marián Gálik is one of the few in the field who did not follow this fashion. He is a scholar sine ira et studio and in this respect he his an academic model that deserves admiration. During his stay at the Institute of Oriental- and Asian Studies, Sinology, his academic research will concentrate on "The Bible and Asian Christianity in China and Central Asia between 632 and 1405 A.D".

Professor Dr. Carlos David Londono Sulkin
Fachgebiet: Afrika-, Amerika- und Ozeanienbezogene Wissenschaften In Deutschland: 01.06.2023 - 30.06.2023 Projektbeschreibung des Gastgebers Professor Londono Sulkin is a leading scholar of indigenous Amazonian societies, on morality and ethics. He is well-known internationally for coining the term ‘Amazonian package’ to encapsulate a loose and mutable but widespread pattern among indigenous American peoples’ accounts of social life, personhood, and the cosmos. Furthermore, he is known for proposing a theory of moralities that suggests, without recourse to teleology, how this pattern may have spread out and endured. In Germany, Professor Londono Sulkin will work on moral bio-ethnographies and other exercises that address the relations between personal subjectivity and patterns in collectivities, with a focus on the creation, reproduction, and transformation of expressions of strong qualitative distinctions of worth.

His conceptualization of the "Afro-Atlantic live dialogue" has been widely adopted. It highlights the agency of actors of African heritage between both continents in the period after the abolishment of slavery and the historical depth of "transnationalism". In Germany, Professor Matory intends to further the understanding of Yoruba-related liturgical art collected at Duke University and kindred sacred art collected at Berlin as elements of the same circum-Atlantic flow of ideas.

During his stay in Germany Professor McCabe intends to examine changes in land use and livelihood practices in Northern Tanzania utilizing the theoretical framework of complexity and resilience. A second goal is to bring together 19 years of research on land use and livelihood diversification among the Maasai of Northern Tanzania as a set of case studies linked together within the framework of complexity and resilience.

Projektbeschreibung des Gastgebers

Professor Stroumsa is one of today's leading scholars on philosophy and religious thought in the medieval Islamic world. Her books and articles are highly valued in the international community of scholars in the fields of Judaic and Islamic Studies as well as Medieval Studies. In July 2008 she was elected by the Senate of the Hebrew University as the institutions's new rector. This is the first time in the Hebrew University's history that a woman has been elected rector. The international standing of the nominee is clearly indicated by her membership on the editorial and advisory boards of several leading publications and academic steering committees in Jewish and Islamic Studies, both in Israel and abroad. To the extent possible, Stroumsa reaches out to Palestinian academia as well. Professor Stroumsa is regularly invited to international conferences and research groups abroad and in Israel, and she has herself organized numerous important events and research groups in her fields of interest in Israel. Her reputation as a scholar and teacher has led her to be invited regularly to give lectures and seminars around the world, and to spend extended periods abroad as research scholar. Stroumsa's main academic concern throughout her career is a multifocal approach to the intellectual history in the medieval world of Islam within the applicable multiconfessional cultural context. Over the last twenty years, Sarah Stroumsa has produced a prodigious output of scholarly articles and books (in English, Hebrew, French, and German; with translations of some studies into Arabic and Spanish) in the fields of philosophy and theology in Arabic in the early Islamic middle ages, medieval Judaeo-Arabic literature, medieval polemical and exegetical literature in Arabic, intellectual history of Islamic Spain, with special focus on the transmission of ideas between the religious communities. Her most recent monograph Maimonides in His World: Portrait of A Mediterranean Thinker (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2009) in many ways stands for her mastery of both Islamic and Judaic Studies and for her exemplary multiconfessional approach.
Professor Stroumsa is hosted by Professor Sabine Schmidtke at Freie Universität Berlin. In Germany, she will primarily work on her project Thinkers of 'This Peninsula': New Perspectives in the Philosophy of al-Andalus, a comprehensive attempt to rewrite the history of philosophy of al-Andalus by viewing the various products of philosophy in the Iberian peninsula, Jewish, Muslim and Christian, as parts and stages of one common intellectual history and as a continuous development. The purpose of the study is to offer an integrative approach to the history of Islamic philosophy in Spain, with focus on the intellectual developments in al-Andalus in the context of the development of philosophical schools in the Orient. As such it will no doubt revolutionize modern scholarship on the intellectual history of al-Andalus.
