2) an International Summer Academy on the theme
TRAVELLING TRADITIONS:
COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON NEAR EASTERN LITERATURES
that will take from October 2 to October 13 at the AUB
in Beirut.

I kindly ask you to spread the information about
the fellowships and the summer academy among scholars
interested in the methodological perspective of dealing
with cultures, not as closed entities or polarities,
but by looking at processes of transfer, exchange,
and interaction between Europe and the Middle East in
the sense of entangled or shared histories and cultures.
We would be grateful if you could post the announcements
at your institution and circulate it, also per email,
among young colleagues and scholars who you think would
be qualified and interested in applying for the postdoc-
fellowships or the Summer Academy.

Europe in the Middle East; The Middle East in Europe is
a new research program of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy
of Sciences, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and the Wissen-
schaftskolleg zu Berlin which builds upon the previous
work of the Working Group Modernity and Islam. For more
information on the new program please visit:

PS Apologies for double postings.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
10 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, the Fritz
Thyssen Foundation and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin
invite scholars to apply for ten postdoctoral fellowships
for the program

EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST; THE MIDDLE EAST IN EUROPE
This research program seeks to rethink key concepts and
premises that divide Europe from the Middle East. The pro-
ject draws on the international expertise of scholars in
and outside of Germany and is embedded in university and
extra-university research institutions in Berlin. It
supports and rests upon the following four interconnected
research fields:

- Cities Compared: Cosmopolitanism in the Mediterranean
and Adjacent Regions - directed by Ulrike Freitag and
Nora Lafi (both Centre for Modern Oriental Studies, Berlin)

- contributes to the debate on cosmopolitanism and civil
society from the historical experience of conviviality and
socio-cultural, ethnic, and religious differences in the
cities around the Mediterranean;

- Islamic Discourse Contested: Middle Eastern and European
Perspectives - directed by Gudrun Krämer (Institute for
Islamic Studies, Free University Berlin) - analyzes modern
Middle Eastern thought and discourses in the framework of
theories of multiple or reflexive modernities;

- Perspectives on the Qur'an: Negotiating Different Views
of a Shared History - directed by Angelika Neuwirth (Seminar
for Arabic Studies, Free University Berlin) and Stefan Wild
(Bonn University) - situates the foundational text of Islam
within the religious landscape of Late Antiquity and combines
a historicization of its genesis with its reception and
perception in Europe and the Middle East;

- Travelling Traditions: Comparative Perspectives on Near
Eastern Literatures - directed by Friederike Pannewick
(Oslo University) and Samah Selim (Wissenschaftskolleg
zu Berlin) -reassesses literary entanglements and processes
of canonization between Europe and the Middle East.
The program 'Europe in the Middle East; the Middle East in Europe'
is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation; it supports
historical-critical philology, rigorous engagement with
the literatures of the Middle East and their histories,
the social history of cities and the study of Middle Eastern
political and philosophical thought (Christian, Jewish,
Muslim, and secular) as central fields of research not
only for area or cultural studies, but also for European
intellectual history and academic disciplines. The program
explores modernity as a reflexive and polyvalent historical
space and conceptual frame. The program puts forward three
programmatic ideas:

1) support for research that demonstrates the rich and
complex historical legacies between Europe and the Middle East;

2) a re-examination of genealogical notions of mythical
'beginnings', 'origins', and 'purity' in relation to culture
and society; and

3) an attempt to contribute to the rethinking of key concepts
of a common modernity in light of today's perspective on cultural,
social, and political entanglements that supersede rigid
identity discourses, national, cultural or regional canons
and epistemologies established in the world of the nineteenth century.

PREREQUISITES FOR APPLICATION
The fellowships are intended above all for scholars of
History, Literature, Philology, Political Philosophy,
Religion and Sociology from the Middle East who want to
carry out their research projects in connection with the
Berlin program. Fellows gain the opportunity to pursue
research projects of their choice within the framework of
one of the above-mentioned four research fields and
connected to the program 'Europe in the Middle East;
the Middle East in Europe' as a whole. In Berlin, they
will be integrated in a university or extra-university
research institute.

Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of EUR 1,800
(supplement for married Fellows: EUR 250) and are obligated
to work in Berlin and to help shape the seminars and working
discussions related to their research field.

As a rule, the fellowships begin on 1 October 2006 and
end on 31 July 2007. The applicant's doctorate should have
been completed no earlier than 1998. An application should
be made in explicit relation to one of the four research
fields and consist of a curriculum vitae, a 2 to 4-page
project sketch, a sample of scholarly work (maximum 20 pages
from an article, conference paper, or dissertation chapter)
and an evaluation by one university instructor. It should
be submitted in English and received by 10 April 2006, sent to:
Europe in the Middle East; the Middle East in Europe

EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST; THE MIDDLE EAST IN EUROPE
INTERNATIONAL SUMMER ACADEMY
FOR DOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS
Within the framework of the research program
Europe in the Middle East; the Middle East in Europe'
the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, the Fritz Thyssen
Foundation and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin in cooperation
with the Anis Makdisi Program in Literature of the American
University in Beirut invite applications for an international
Summer Academy on the theme:

TRAVELLING TRADITIONS:
COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON NEAR EASTERN LITERATURES
The Summer Academy is scheduled for 2 to 13 October, 2006
at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon and will be
chaired by Professor Friederike Pannewick (Oslo University)
and Dr Samah Selim (Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin).
It will be organized in cooperation with the Anis Makdisi Program
in Literature of the AUB, the Orient Institute in Beirut and the
Heinrich Boell Foundation Middle East Office.
24 young scholars will be given the opportunity to present
and discuss their current research, while a group of leading
scholars from the field of Comparative Literature and Near
Eastern Literatures will act as tutors. The Summer Academy
will focus on comparativist approaches to the study of
literature in and across the Middle East and Europe, from
early modernity onwards, through the prism of three main
and interrelated issues.

The first section will explore modern canon formations in
the larger regional literary traditions of the Middle East,
and its relation to a hegemonic European system of national
philology. Scholars are encouraged to explore the internal
power of tradition building and its relation to the politics
of historical memory and nation-building. As such, this section
will emphasize the diversity of textual and critical traditions
across Europe and the Middle East, and their anarchic potential
in a modern field of national literatures intersected by strict
notions of autonomous cultural identities. These questions
aim to foster comparative perspectives on Arab, Persian and
Turkish conceptualizations of literary 'renaissance' in and
beyond Arab, Persian or Turkish traditions, while broadening
and problematizing the term itself as part of a wider com-
parative inquiry into Anglo-European intellectual history
and cultural studies.

The second section will examine the formative role of trans-
lation and popular traditions in national literary histories.
Here, scholars are encouraged to investigate the links between
literary canons, translation and popular genres and to re-
think established binaries - such as originality and imitation;
'high' and 'low' cultural forms - that shape the study of
literature at large. This section also takes account of the
fact that genres are themselves intrinsically porous. Scholars
will be encouraged to explore and question the formal boundaries
between what are usually considered distinct genres, like fiction,
drama and prose poetry, as well the mobility of literary genres
across related cultural media, such as film and theatrical
performance.

The third section focuses on the links between canon-formation
and historical transformations in literary criticism and theory.
Comparative histories of literary criticism would be of particular
interest. How does literary theory travel across cultural,
linguistic and discursive borders? Such movements into new
locations are often distorted and impeded because they necessarily
involve processes of representation and institutionalization
different from those at the place of origin.

The complex north/south itineraries of postmodernism and post-
colonialism, as well as Marxist and feminist theory are of
particular interest in this context.

The Summer Academy is supported within the overall framework
of the research program
'Europe in the Middle East; the Middle East in Europe'
(funded by the German Fritz Thyssen Foundation), which focuses
on the diverse processes of transfer, exchange, and interaction
between Europe and the Middle East.

CONDITIONS OF APPLICATION
Participants receive a stipend covering travel and accommodation
expenses. The program addresses doctoral and postdoctoral
researchers in Comparative Literature, Middle Eastern and
other Philologies, and historians, anthropologists, and
sociologists with an interest in literary studies and in
opening up Comparative Studies beyond the limitations of
national or regional perspectives. The researchers' work
should be clearly relevant to the theme(s) of the Summer
Academy. The working language is English. The application,
consisting of a curriculum vitae, a five-page outline of the
project the applicant is currently working on, with a brief
summary thereof, and two names of referees (university
faculty members) should be submitted and received, in English,
by April 21, 2006 31 to:

Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes at Arizona State University

The Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes (CSPO) at Arizona State University
(ASU) seeks a Post-doctoral Research Associate to assist with an NSF-sponsored 5-year
joint project with the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of
Colorado. The project, called Science Policy Assessment and Research on Climate (SPARC), will
investigate the relation between science policy and climate policy decisions from two perspectives.
First, SPARC explores how climate research agendas are developed and implemented,
with a particular focus on understanding how the organization of climate research (“supply”)
relates to the information needs of climate policy decision makers (“demand”). Second, SPARC
investigates the relative magnitude of various sources of global environmental change in order
to better understand the relation between the causes of global change and the priorities of the
U.S. climate science portfolio. Key, cross-cutting themes in each of these efforts include the role
and behavior of science policy institutions and the influence of ethics and values on science
poicy decisions.

The responsib
