Bauhaus Modernism and its Myths (November 15 - 17, 2007)
Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung (ZiF), Bielefeld, Germany
The interdisciplinary and international conference intends to give new impulses to the research on Modernism and the Bauhaus. It wants to bridge the gaps that exist between the research on the topic done in the United States, England, and Germany. The aim is to present and critically analyse the methods, topics and vantage points of the new and most relevant areas of research. This is connected to the generational makeover the field is experiencing at the moment. The last Bauhaus members have died and a new generation of art historians is entering the field. Because Bauhaus research was to a large degree determined by the interests and outlooks of particular people this process of diversification is highly relevant. The myths surrounding the school are slowly but surely replaced by a more analytical perspective and by research based analysis. And only now does it become a little easier to research the relationship between the Bauhaus, the modern movement and National socialism. Methodologically it is a challenge that modernism generates modernity and is itself generated by this process. Bourdieu has explored this phenomenon in his research and writings and will be an important source in this respect. The Bauhaus is an example for the modern movement itself but also helps define what modernism is and how we understand it. Historically both processes are closely related to the exile of many Bauhaus members. All of these topics will be researched and discussed with an interdisciplinary perspective and the methodology provided by the broad range of participants. In overviews and representative case studies this conference intends to present and discuss exciting new research.
