PROVOCĂRILE GERMANISTICII ÎN EPOCA GLOBALIZĂRII
CHALLENGES OF GERMAN STUDIES IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: Key words in the age of globalization are mobility, information technology, change, innovation, and competition. They are primarily related to the field of the economy, but nowadays they increasingly affect other spheres of human life, including higher education. The concept of the Bologna process was a reaction to these tendencies in society and culture on the global level. As a result of this initiative, universities have faced numerous challenges, in particular faculties of arts and humanities. These challenges refer to the subject, purpose and method of research and teaching, to the role of students and teachers, and to the response of these tradition-orientated institutions to demands of the modern society and culture, as well as of a modern student. The focus of this paper rests on German studies as a representative field of research in arts and humanities, based on the experience of research and teaching in higher education in Serbia.
