Tradition(s)

Second annual theme of the Cluster of Excellence

The second annual theme “Tradition(s)” of the Cluster of Excellence examines how societies and religions deal with traditions. How do traditions come into being, how are they passed on, changed, and used in the interests of power? The 2021/22 annual programme will see Cluster members and guests from the academic world and art use case studies ranging from antiquity to the present day to discuss the emergence, transmission and transformation of traditions in, for example, literature, law and religion.
