Dr. Sabine Marienberg

Sabine Marienberg studied Philosophy and Romance Studies in Munich, Berlin and Perugia and completed her doctoral degree on sign actions in the thought of Giambattista Vico and Johann Georg Hamann at Freie Universität Berlin.
During her dissertation period, she collaborated in a research project on the neural correlates of multilingualism at the University of Basel; afterwards, she explored the role of language for consciousness as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the project »Functions of Consciousness« at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and worked as a Research Associate in the research group »Picture Act and Embodiment«. From 2014–2018 she had the project lead of the VW funded research project »Symbolic Articulation« where she investigated into the relation of language and images. After a subsequent Visting Professorship in the interdisciplinary program »Diversity of Knowledge« at HU Berlin, she joined the clusters research project Symbolic Material. Her work focuses on the conceptual and terminological framework of the cluster from a philosophical and linguistic perspective.
