“TRANSITIONS”: a Center for International Research in the Humanities and Social sciences (NYU-CNRS)
The Center seeks to explore the diversity of systems of thought and knowledge in the world and in different eras, the modes through which knowledge is constituted and/or institutionalized, the interaction or isolation, and the permeability or conflictuality of cultures.
The Center’s focus is the relations between universal and differential cultures, systems of knowledge and understanding; across disciplines, it will promote research on the translatability of systems, the transmission and transformation of cultures, concepts and theories. The plurality of histories and languages, as well as the complexities of memory, consciousness and its philosophical accounts, will also form part of our initial projects.
