Is democracy something we can experience with our senses? Does it have a distinct aesthetic of its own, comparable to the aesthetics of totalitarianism? Does democratic coexistence take on a particular form? These are the questions explored by the DFG-funded Research Training Group 3113, “Aesthetics of Democracy.” During its initial five-year funding period, 24 doctoral researchers from a wide range of humanities disciplines at Goethe University Frankfurt and TU Darmstadt work together in an interdisciplinary setting. Through accompanying public humanities projects, they also engage in dialogue with broader audiences.
