> Dear friends of the Bauhaus Kolleg,
>
>
>
> I would like to call your attention to the next Bauhaus Kolleg IX,  
> titled EU-Urbanism II – Border cities. During the academic year  
> 2007/2008, the postgraduate program of the Bauhaus Dessau  will  
> investigate border cities in the Baltic Sea Region. The Baltic Sea  
> Region numbers amongst the most dynamic laboratories in which,  
> since the end of the Cold War period, Europe has again been put  
> under the microscope.
>
>
>
> The Baltic Sea Region, singular, in fact includes a huge variety of  
> contradictory regions, characterized by disparities,  
> discontinuities and conflict, as well as by intensive exchange and  
> international cooperation and migration. Openness and partition,  
> dynamic economic growth and industrial decline, radical experiments  
> in free trade and state-controlled isolationism, new wealth and  
> poverty, transnational identities and new nationalism are here all  
> part of the mix. The contradictory mechanisms of European  
> integration are demonstrated in a quite particular manner on the  
> northern margins of Europe. The border cities of the Baltic Sea  
> Region insofar constitute a test-run for the project of  
> ‘Europeanization’. The Kolleg IX will examine these phenomenal  
> in three border cities in the Baltic Sea Region (Kaliningrad, Malmö  
> and Tallinn)  which are confronted in different ways with the  
> reality of a border.
>
>
>
> The two-part Bauhaus Kolleg program consists of an orientation  
> phase, which concentrates more on theory and analysis, and a  
> project phase that focuses stronger on developing working methods  
> and strategies. An exhibition and the production of a book are  
> scheduled to conclude the Kolleg year.

> The Bauhaus Kolleg is now accepting applications for the upcoming  
> program. Graduates with a strong academic background in the fields  
> of art, architecture, urban planning, cultural theory, design,  
> media studies, philosophy and other related disciplines are invited  
> to apply. The application deadline is July 31, 2007. We would much  
> appreciate if you passed this information on to highly motivated  
> and skilled individuals, who would like to work together with us  
> for one year in the traditional Bauhaus building.
