Objective The conference "Singularities. Literature - Science - Responsibility. The Humanities in the Context of European Educational Policy" refers to the measures currently being taken regarding educational policies at European universities. The humanities are in the process of being put under a high amount of pressure to standardise, which is appearing as debates on legitimisation and method, and which is increasingly determining the institutional framework as well as the direction of teaching and research.Starting with the study of literature, we hope to establish a link between these debates. This conference hopes to work out specific characteristics of literature, in order to tackle the questions of forms of institutionalising the structure of literature. Regarding the restructuring of scientific disciplines, the specific "knowledge of literature" and the position of the humanities will be investigated within the framework of the study of German literature.
