Excursion to the 45th Congress of the German Society for Empirical Cultural Studies (DGEKW) in Kiel, October 1–4, 2025Prof. Dr. Carna Brkovic
The biennial congress of the German Society for Empirical Cultural Studies (DGEKW) in 2025 is themed: "Surprise, Chance, Contingency: On the Indeterminate in Society and Culture." It aims to explore academic engagement with the unexpected in everyday life from various perspectives.
At the 45th Congress of the German Society for Empirical Cultural Studies (DGEKW), nearly one hundred contributions will be presented that examine the role and significance of indeterminacy in society and science. Surprise, chance, and contingency will be explored not only for their negative potential in terms of disruption, interference, or uncertainty, but also for their creative and productive capacities. The focus includes diverse everyday cultural fields of action (such as labor processes, migration, household, social relationships, insurance systems), as well as contingent elements within the cultural research process itself (methodology, data collection, data management, fieldwork). Special attention will be given to different spheres of representation (in media, museums, exhibitions, social media, etc.).

As proof of active participation, students must submit a report focusing primarily on one of the panels or keynote lectures, while also connecting it to at least two other panels or talks. Reports are to be uploaded to Moodle. Further details will be provided once the presentation schedule is available.
The excursion includes an online preparatory meeting and a follow-up session in person during the semester.
