Overview of all Subprojects

The seven subprojects of pillar A of the Collaborative Research Centre are united by the common goal of significantly expanding the phenomenology of home(s) and at the same time exploring the limits of what can be described as home. The subprojects of pillar A aim to describe and classify phenomena in history, culture and religion as phenomena of home.

The seven subprojects in pillar B already operate with a comparatively fixed idea of what constitutes home. In terms of model theory, they therefore tend to locate themselves at the application level of home(s), investigating reactions and receptions that arise when dealing with the model objects of home(s) and which in turn contribute to the model of home.

Within the framework of the Collaborative Research Center, it is sensible and necessary to combine the question of model-forming representational processes with the question of phenomena and practices. In this way, the phenomenological-semantic and practical-action-guiding perspectives on home(s) of pillars A and B are productively complemented by the representational-aesthetic perspectives of pillar C. The seven subprojects gathered in pillar C accordingly investigate medial and material manifestations of home(s) from the early modern period to the present.
