International Seminar 3-4.06.10: What happens when diasporas come ‘home’? Invitation to seminar hosted by Kultrans, University of Oslo 3-4 June 2010

Workshop 26-29.05.10 in Rosendal: Johann Gottfried Herder’s teaching has helped shape virtually every discipline within the humanities and the social sciences. Herder is seen as the father of modern linguistics and philosophy of language, he is counted amongst the early proponents of critical hermeneutics, viewed as the founder of anthropological studies, and acknowledged as first historicist. Moreover, Herder is seen as an early spokesman of political and cultural cosmopolitanism and a relentless defender of enlightenment tolerance. He is known as an avid collector of folk poems, a literary theorist of consideration, and he produced important work within musical theory, theory of sculpture and painting, and the philosophy of emotions.
