While the world\u2019s attention is currently focused on Trump and the way his actions undermine democracy, attacks on democratic rules and structures can be observed in almost every society around the world, V\u00f6lz points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interdisciplinary Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Authoritarian regimes, too, often restrict people\u2019s freedoms under the guise of supposedly democratic procedures, pointing to an allegedly different understanding of democracy, V\u00f6lz adds. One example is the way in which Viktor Orb\u00e1n is curtailing the rights of queer people in Hungary under the pretext of protecting the country\u2019s youth. Their response: take their way of life to the streets at the Pride Parade in Budapest, thereby drawing attention to the looming restrictions on their fundamental rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is precisely where the new Research Training Group comes in. Its central assumption is that democracy manifests itself not only as a system of government but also as a form of human coexistence. This is also why the term \u201caesthetics\u201d is broadly defined: the 12 participating professors use it to describe the sensually perceptible forms and practices of coexistence \u2013 including the debates and conflicts associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staging, Performance, Emotions \u2013 All Part of Democracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the humanities, democracy research has led a rather marginal existence to date \u2013 even though the contribution the humanities can make to democracy research is urgently needed,\u201d says V\u00f6lz. While the norms and procedures of democracy are thoroughly studied in the social sciences, the sensory dimension of lived democracy largely escapes their focus. Why is it that humanities\u2019 perspectives have been so rarely applied to democracy? \u201cThere is this notion that the humanities are merely ornamental, a \u2018nice-to-have\u2019, even if it has become more than obvious that democracy cannot be understood without considering staging, performance, or emotions,\u201d V\u00f6lz continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skepticism also extended to the term aesthetics, perhaps because it is often associated with emotionalization and irrationality. For a long time, aestheticized politics seemed to be a feature of monarchy, communism, or fascism \u2013 all systems in which political power legitimizes itself through aesthetic means. It is not without reason that carefully orchestrated parades, splendid or intimidating uniforms, and staged rituals play such a dominant role in non-democratic states. Walter Benjamin, observing Hitler\u2019s fascism, concluded that the aestheticization of politics leads to war. While V\u00f6lz acknowledges this, he adds: \u201cIt is wrong and simplistic to believe that democracy rests solely on rational discourse.\u201d The very concept of \u201cthe people\u201d (demos) illustrates this: \u201cThe people do not exist as such \u2013 the term is an abstraction. Democratic societies need aesthetic means to create an image of the people,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, instead of being opposed to discourse and rational exchange, aesthetics in fact is an essential part of it. Critical debate, the constant struggle for the right form of coexistence, lies at the core of the democratic principle: \u201cThe negotiation of its form in itself constitutes its form,\u201d states the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>V\u00f6lz is convinced that the field of humanities-based democracy research is only just beginning to take shape, guided by questions like: What defines democracy beyond institutions and processes? How does it manifest in sensory experience? Developing a deeper knowledge of this could also help strengthen democracy worldwide. \u201cAAs long as we lack knowledge of what exactly defines democratic coexistence, it will be difficult for us to defend democracy,\u201d says V\u00f6lz, who has already identified strong interest in the subject among young scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toward an International Center for Cultural Democracy Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The range of disciplines represented in the program is broad. Alongside V\u00f6lz, who holds Goethe University\u2019s professorship in American Studies with a focus on Democracy and Aesthetics, the Research Training Group\u2019s other spokesperson is philosopher Sophie Loidolt from TU Darmstadt. Ten additional researchers from Goethe University are involved, spanning Comparative Literature, American Studies, Film and Media Studies, German Studies, Art History, Modern History, Philosophy, Scandinavian Studies, and Sinology. The Research Training Group evolved from the network \u201cDemocratic Vistas: Reflections on the Atlantic World\u201d at Goethe University\u2019s Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften \u2013 Institute for Advanced Studies, with which all participating scholars are affiliated. Just how topical the subject is further reflected in a junior research group at Goethe\u2019s graduate academy GRADE, titled \u201cThe Aesthetics of Democratic Forms of Life.\u201d &#8222;Frankfurt has long stood out for its research in aesthetics, which also includes a successful master\u2019s program in Aesthetics. With the new research training group, the conditions are now in place to establish Goethe University and the RMU alliance as an international center for aesthetic and cultural democracy research, V\u00f6lz says. Eighteen partner institutions on five continents will collaborate with the program, and the doctoral researchers will anchor their work in civil society through cooperation with local cultural and political organizations. \u201cIt is very important to us that the fellows discuss their research with society in the spirit of public humanities,\u201d says V\u00f6lz. This requires a change in perspective, so that questions from literary studies, for example, can find their way into public discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Role of the Arts in Democracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe evil populists are taking away our democracy\u201d \u2013 this complaint alone is not enough to save democracy. What is needed instead is an honest engagement with what is not working within democracy itself. \u201cIf we can shift the discussion toward how we can anchor democracy more deeply in our lives again \u2014 that would be a major achievement,\u201d says V\u00f6lz, adding that the arts play a vital role in democracy, too: they reflect on human coexistence and design models for new ways of living. The professors involved in the Research Training Group see numerous points of connection to their own research and welcome dissertation projects on the aesthetics of democracy. But they do not want to prescribe topics: \u201cWe are all very curious to see what project ideas applicants will submit,\u201d says V\u00f6lz. Applicants need not have any prior knowledge of German as an intensive language course will be provided at the start of their stay in Frankfurt. The professors expect the cohort to be very international. \u201cOf course, we also encourage applications from Frankfurt and Darmstadt,\u201d says V\u00f6lz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DFG has made available nearly EUR 6 million for the first funding phase. Two cohorts consisting of 12 doctoral candidates each will work on relevant topics over the next five years. In addition, a Mercator Fellow Program will bring distinguished visiting scholars to Frankfurt to work closely with the fellows. The call for applications will open in August, with the program set to launch in April 2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goethe University has established a new Research Training Group.
