Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2009 - 31/12/2011 | 1st Funding period
Description
The project investigates the role of symbolic communication in building and maintaining pan-Indian coalitions and organizations in the North American colonies and the United States. It wishes to analyze how symbolic communication enabled ethnic groups to create consensus across cultural and geographical borders, and which social values these symbols reflected in transitional periods at the threshold of an ambivalent, conflicted, non-European modernity.
