DEAR PARTICIPANTS!

The humanities are indispensable in generating knowledge about society, politics, identities and factors conditioning them in the past and the future. Therefore we observe a steady increase in the interdisciplinary nature of the Humanities.

The international workshop within the Batumi Summer School 2014 completes the study program of the school. The key feature of the workshop is his interdisciplinary character.

The German scholars representing different fields in the Humanites report on current methods and first results in corpus research. The participants get the opportunity to experience inspiring talks in a new paradigm of the Humanities.

May you do well!
