HERMES 2015: Author, Authorship, and Authority in the Age of Cultural Studies and New Media

The Hermes Consortium for Literary and Cultural Studies is a collaboration of doctoral schools in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain with associated partners in Italy and USA that seeks to further an understanding of the European presence in the fields of literature, art and culture in an era of globalization, to promote interdisciplinary thoughts in the fields of literary and cultural studies, to explore changes in European self-understanding and self-criticism across the cultures and disciplines in and beyond Europe, and to develop co-operation between European as well as between non-European research environments.
