ERC CONSOLIDATOR GRANT (2023-2028):
THEATRE AND GENTRIFICATION IN THE EUROPEAN CITY
is offering 4 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITIONS starting in September 2023.
“Theatre and Gentrification in the European City” (THEAGENT) is a
five-year research project funded by the European Research Council’s
(ERC) Consolidator Grant Program with a 2 million Euro grant. Located in
the Institute for Urban and Regional Research (ISR) of the Austrian
Academy of Sciences (OeAW), and conducted under the direction of
Principal Investigator Dr. Emine Fişek, the project combines multi-sited
ethnographic and archival research to analyze the relationship between
theatre practices and urban transformation in five European metropoles
in the twenty-first century: London, Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, and
Istanbul. Ground-breaking in its mixed methodology, this project will be
the first to explore theatre’s role in the cultural dimensions of
Europe’s urban transformations, as well as to demonstrate
gentrification’s role in the politics of contemporary European theatre.
