Hollywood Memories: Cinematic Remaking and the Construction of Global Movie GenerationsRemaking is a long-standing Hollywood practice: an industrially motivated creative process that generates remakes, sequels, etc. over decades. At the intersection of American Studies, Memory Studies, Film Studies, Generational Theory and Global Studies, the project explores the long-term cultural impact of such films and assumes that they shape memories, lived experiences and generational identities of spectators in a globalised world. It is about how popular culture, media and memory construct generationality.Led by: Prof. Dr. Kathleen Loock, Stefan Dierkes, M.A., Alejandra Bulla Buritica, M.A.Team:Year: 2020Funding: DFGDuration: 2020-2026

Congress Reshaping (g)local Dynamics in the Caribbean. Relaciones y Desconexiones – Relations et Déconnections – Relations and DisconnectionsWho creates visions of the Caribbean and how are they produced? Who is trying to explore how the circulation and non-circulation of knowledge and culture has historically occurred in and about the Caribbean? These were some of the central questions of the conference. The international conference contributed to the understanding of the Caribbean by focusing on transatlantic and transoceanic circulations of knowledge. Its interdisciplinary approach created a space for dialogue and discussion about how the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences can discuss these dynamics and how a critical, transcultural, and decolonial history of science can emerge.Led by: Prof. Dr. Anja BandauTeam:Year: 2015Funding: VWStiftung
