PhD Studentships: Translating Cultures: Literature, Music and the Visual Arts in a World Context (University of Aberdeen)

We are offering funding for postgraduate students interested in pursuing research on the topic of 'Translating Cultures: Literature, Music and the Arts in a World Context', a four year interdisciplinary project that sets out to explore how the arts matter in an age of globalization. Through a series of case studies that take up the theme of 'translating cultures' from a variety of perspectives and with regard to different geopolitical constellations, this project seeks to illuminate the ways in which the arts play a significant role in contemporary societies.

We invite applications from students from a wide range of humanities and social science disciplines, including those interested in pursuing practice-based PhDs in Music, and Film and Visual Culture. Candidates interested in joining the project who do not yet have a masters degree, can apply for funding to take one of our research preparation masters: the MLitt in Comparative Literature or the MLitt in Visual Culture.

Closing date: Friday 23 April (for applications to start in 2010)
