The International Research Institute for Cultural Techniques and Media Philosophy (IKKM) was a center for advanced studies at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, and was founded in 2008 by Lorenz Engell and Bernhard Siegert. The IKKM was part of the International Käte Hamburger Collegia for research in the Humanities initiative in the 'Freedom for Research in the Humanities'[1] program of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Initial funding has been approved for six years (until 2014). Until March 2020 the IKKM was located in the Palais Dürckheim build by Henry van de Velde.
Research edit
The Institute was a research establishment based on the fellow principle. Fellow appointment was supervised by an international advisory board consisting of professors Raymond Bellour, Hans Belting, Régis Debray, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Sigrid Weigel. Each year the IKKM invited up to ten internationally renowned scholars for one or two semesters to Weimar, enabling them to pursue a research project and contribute to the development of questions regarding media-philosophy and research in cultural technologies. The first funding period of the IKKM consist of six annual research topics:
- 2008/09: Hominization and Anthropotechnologies – the Making of Humans
- 2009/10: Referencialization and Ontogenesis – the Making of Things
- 2010/11: Semiosis—the Transformation of Objects into Signs
- 2011/12: Localization—the Production of Sites
- 2012/13: Synchronization—the Production of the Present
- 2013/14: Historization—the Production of the Past
