DFG-Graduiertenkolleg 2840 „Ambivalent Enmity. Dynamics of Antagonism in Europe, Asia and the Middle East“

About us

“Ambivalent Enmity” is a postgraduate research and training program at Heidelberg University and the Heidelberg University of Jewish Studies. It is financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Research Concept

In an era marked by increasing polarization within and between societies and nations, studies on the nature, expressions, and forms of enmity have become an urgent societal concern. Processes of “enemization” (M. Edelman) threaten peace within and between societies in many parts of the world.
