The Cluster of Excellence Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective aims to create a new theoretical and methodological take on literature in a global perspective that moves beyond the categories of nation and period and conceives of literature instead as a transcultural and transtemporal phenomenon in deep time. Introducing the notion of ‘temporal communities’, the Cluster investigates the ways in which literature reaches out through space and time and establishes extensive transtemporal networks in which the notion of literature itself is constantly re-constituted as it interacts with other arts and media and develops temporalities of its own.

For the year 2022 the Cluster invites fellows working in the field of literary studies and/or related disciplines to spend a period of stay at Freie Universität Berlin:
