Heinz Schilling (cultural anthropologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Schilling (born November 3, 1942 in Seligenstadt ) is a German cultural anthropologist .

Career

Schilling studied folklore , German and political science at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . His academic teachers included a. Mathilde Hain and Carlo Schmid . In 1968 he received a Magister Artium. In 1971 he received his doctorate from the folklorist Wolfgang Brückner with a thesis on popular everyday aesthetics.

After completing his studies, Schilling, who wrote for German daily newspapers during his student days, worked for the Saarländischer Rundfunk Saarbrücken as a culture editor, presenter and feature author. In 1977 he returned to Frankfurt University, where Ina-Maria Greverus had meanwhile established the subject of cultural anthropology and European ethnology.

Schilling developed multi-semester field research projects with students, each completed with book publications. The publication series Kulturanthropologie Notizen , which he co-edited , provided a platform for this.

His main research interests are identities , mentalities and living environments of social-cultural milieus; cultural change , especially urbanization ; Anthropology of time; Culture of the border; as well as history and memory politics. One of Schilling's main focuses is regional cultural analysis. The term region is questioned critically in planning; “ Culture ” is always examined as a dynamic process. Concepts such as “ home ” and “ globalization ” became increasingly important for Schilling's research and reflection. His habilitation thesis Neue Dörflichkeit. Urbanization without urbanity in the Rhine-Main area from 1992 was based on field research and micro-studies.

Even after his retirement in 2005, Schilling is active in research and teaching.
