Biographical Note

Dr. Antje Deitze (SFB 1199)

I am a senior researcher in the Collaborative Research Center (SFB 1199) “Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition”. I teach courses in transnational history and transregional studies at the Global and European Studies Institute, the Institute for the Study of Culture and the Graduate School Global and Area Studies at Leipzig University. In 2014/15, I was a German Academic Exchange Service P.R.I.M.E. research fellow at the Centre canadien d’études allemandes et européennes at Université de Montréal, Canada. My main areas of research include the social and cultural history of Germany, Europe and North America in the 19th and 20th century, entangled histories of Cold War and post-socialist cultures, as well as the transnational history of the cultural economy. My current research project investigates the production and circulation of mass entertainment in North America and Europe from the 1830s to the 1930s.
