The Cluster of Excellence Asia and Europe in a Global Context at Heidelberg University is offering 1 PhD Scholarship (3 years) within the Junior Research Group Transcultural Dynamics of Pentecostalism: Pentecostal Christianity between Globalisation and State Control in Singapore.
The Research Group focuses on the transformation of late-modern Pentecostal moral codes and modes of subjectivation, questions of identity, and the negotiation of boundaries (e.g. global/ local, national/ transnational, public/ private, secular/ religious) in the nexus of globalising processes and localised public spheres in contemporary Singapore. Local processes of negotiation, adaptation, and transformations of religious discourses and practices in a global context are at the centre of the analysis. Here, the focus lies on the production of new forms of localisation of Pentecostal Christianity, which at the same time produce new forms of global identification with Pentecostal Christianity in contemporary Singapore.
The PhD student is encouraged and expected to pursue independent research and participate in the meetings of our research group within which we are going to develop a comparative theoretical and conceptual base for the project.
