As seven years of innovative scholarship at the nexus of literature and the arts draw to a close, we are sad to announce that funding for the Cluster of Excellence "Temporal Communities" has not been renewed in this year's round of the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments.

Even though the Cluster's work cannot be carried on in the current format, its methods and perspectives will continue to resonate in the research, teaching and publications of its members, but above all in the ongoing dialogue between the humanities, art and culture. A big thank you to all our friends, partners and supporters!
