Project: Crises of Democracy through the Prism of Cultural Trauma (2018-2019)
What is it in the world today that is making populist and authoritarian approaches to government more attractive than democracy?
This is one of the core questions that will be examined by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute, in partnership with four other leading universities and research institutes around the world, in a project on Crises of Democracy through the Prism of Cultural Trauma.
The project is one of two selected for US Mellon Foundation funding from 17 submissions to the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes , a global network joining over 200 humanities centres, research libraries and related organisations. The project leader is Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub. The other partners are the Center for the Study of Ethnicity, Citizenship and Migration at the University of Zagreb (Croatia), the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paolo (Brazil), the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University (US) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (India).
USP Members: Laura P. Z. Izarra (Coordinator; DLM-FFLCH); Janina Onuki (IRI); Amâncio Jorge (IRI); Luiz Fernando Ramos (ECA); Esther Hamburger (ECA); Arlene Clemesha (DLO-FFLCH).
