SUMMARY:No end to history? Historiography since the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Kantorowicz Lecture 2024 \nWith Prof. Dr.Monika Dommann (Professor of Modern History\, University of Zurich) \n35 years after the end of history proclaimed in 1989\, the lecture looks back on the transformation of historiography since the 1990s from the perspective of the history of knowledge and media. How has historiography changed since it increasingly became an authority on the reappraisal of history? How has the proclamation of a provincialization of Europe affected the history book market? Can historians still be up to their job after the digitization of their archives? And what does it mean that history is booming in museums\, in the cinema and on the book market – and at the same time the number of people studying history is falling?

SUMMARY:Global Health Justice: Bridging Theory & Practice
DESCRIPTION:International Conference organized by the Goethe University Global Health Justice Postdoctoral Program \nThere are currently vast asymmetries both within and between countries when it comes to the matter of who experiences good health. Some people enjoy long lives largely characterized by the absence of illness and can access high-quality medical treatment when illness does arise. Others live for a much shorter time – struck down by preventable diseases\, or dying in childbirth\, for instance – and often also have severely limited or no access to health resources.   \nThe academic field of Global Health Justice – situated at the intersection of bioethics\, political philosophy and law – investigates the best way to conceptualize and evaluate many of the health disparities plaguing our world\, as well as the duties that this generates for states\, transnational corporations and other agents. This conference\, organized under the auspices of the Global Health Justice Postdoctoral Programme at Goethe University Frankfurt (generously funded by the Höppsche Stiftung)\, aims to create a platform to hear from\, and advance the work of a diverse group of global scholars who are working in various areas of this field.  \nA key focus of the conference will be attempting to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Hence\, the conference will have as an overarching goal\, putting theorists of health justice in dialog with practitioners of public and global health delivery. Consequently\, we aim to hear from three distinct groups: scholars working on the theoretical foundations of health justice\, those working on the empirical study of health-related social movements\, and global health policy practitioners.   \nPanels and keynote addresses will address important questions such as how to think about health justice after the COVID-19 pandemic\, the implications of the environmental crisis for health care delivery\, and the work of health activists across the globe to advance the goal of health justice. \nFor further information: Click here …   \nIf you wish to attend the conference\, online or in person\, please register in advance by sending an email to: n.nwaneri@em.uni-frankfurt.de

SUMMARY:Iron to Gold: The Translocal Claim of PARASH PATHAR - Neepa Majumdar (Pittsburgh)
DESCRIPTION:PARASH PATHAR (The Philosopher’s Stone) from 1958 is a light-footed thought-experiment that was initially dismissed by critics and educated audiences as a comedy that was only of local interest\, but which has layers and references that point far beyond that. Ray liked to talk about how much fun he had making it. Joy\, rather than humor\, is the key to the mood of this film.   \nNeepa Majumdar is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. \nFilm: PARASH PATHAR (The Philosopher’s Stone) India 1958\, 90 min

SUMMARY:Transitioning into Noise: 1930s Film Technology Debates in India
DESCRIPTION:Lecture \nNeepa Majumdar (University of Pittsburgh) \nUsing film excerpts\, ads for sound recording and projection equipment\, sound technicians’ columns\, as well as reports by and about salesmen-technicians\, such as the Americans Wilford Deming Jr. and C. Willman\, this talk will present debates about audio technologies and sonic cultures circulating in India during the period of cinema’s conversion to sound (1931 to 1935). Since many audio discussions at the time centered on the problem of noise in sound recording and projection\, the talk will approach the transition to sound through the lens of a spectrum of noise and meaning through which the audiovisual was understood. Analyzing ads for competing film sound technologies that made claims about swadeshi (or indigenously developed) recording equipment\, I will use the lens of “imaginary media\,” as theorized by media archaeologists\, to focus on “impossible” machines such as the locally developed tropically sensitive sound machines advertised in film magazines of the period.

SUMMARY:How to speak anyway?
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion on the publication of “Talk anyway” \nWith: Julia Yael Alfandari\, Christoph Menke\, Hanna Pfeifer and Nahed Samour\nModeration: Miryam Schellbach \nIn the wake of the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7\, 2023 and the subsequent Gaza war and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe\, insinuations\, violations and (demands for) one-sided positioning in German politics and society are coming to a head. The unproductive polarization of the discussion about Israel and Palestine in Germany is countered by the volume Trotzdem sprechen (ullstein 2024). The authors gathered here are committed to exchange\, as difficult as it may be. On the occasion of the publication of the volume\, the panel discussion would like to contribute to such an exchange and raise the question of what role the university space and in particular the humanities and social sciences (can/should/must) play in this.   \nPlease register at: d.yildirim@em.uni-frankfurt.de \nOrganized by: Jonas Heller\, Katharina Hoppe and Miryam Schellbach

SUMMARY:Targeted violence against social activists: data\, patterns\, and cases
DESCRIPTION:International workshop \nRecent years have seen an incipient debate about the targeted violence against social activists\, with a focus on the killing of human rights defenders\, environmental activists\, local community leaders\, and representatives of civil society organizations (CSOs) broadly speaking. Whereas violence against civilians in (civil) war contexts is an established field of study\, research on this type of violence – which is being observed mainly outside of conventional armed conflict settings (in countries such as Brazil\, Colombia\, Honduras or the Philippines) – is much less developed and rather fragmented. Existing country-specific studies hardly refer to each other. In recent years\, scholars\, in particular from the field of political geography/political ecology\, have started to use existing datasets (provided mainly by NGOs) for comparative analyses as well. Against this background\, this international workshop aims at taking stock of what we know – and don’t know – about the spatial patterns\, the temporal dynamics\, the causes as well as the consequences of the targeted killing of social activists. In order to do so\, it brings together knowledge on different regional and country contexts\, critically reviews the quality of the data that exists\, and identifies preliminary findings\, research gaps and avenues for future research. Overarching questions that will be dealt with during the workshop include:       \n\nWhat are the features and boundaries of the phenomenon at hand? What type of violence are we talking about? How do assassinations relate to other forms of violence against social activists\, and how does violence against social activists relate to violence against other types of actors?  \nWhat does our data (not) grasp and how reliably does it do so? How can we built upon and improve existing data (sets)? \nWhat do we know about the trends\, patterns\, and causes of the assassination of social activists? To what extent does this type of violence indicate a transformation of political violence? Are we witnessing a general increase in this type of violence?  \nWhat are the consequences of the assassinations of social activists? Do they undermine\, or rather increase\, solidarity and trust within social movements\, local communities\, and associations? How do they impact relations vis-à-vis the state? What do we know about measures and strategies of protection?   \n\nOrganization: Juan Albarracín & Jonas Wolff\, with Franziska Kasten \nParticipation upon prior registration only. For registration\, please send an email to Franziska Kasten: kasten@soz.uni-frankfurt.de. Registration Deadline: June 30\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Persistent differences: attitudes towards migration and gender in East and West Germany
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Daniela Grunow (Professor of Sociology with a focus on “Quantitative Analyses of Social Change”\, Research Institute for Social Cohesion\, Normative Orders) and Dr. Mirko K. Braack (Post-Doc at the Frankfurt branch of the Research Institute for Social Cohesion\, Normative Orders) \nMore than 30 years after German reunification\, there are still major differences between East and West Germany. This is particularly noticeable in two areas: the division of labor within the family and the underlying gender ideals\, as well as in relation to attitudes towards migration. On the one hand\, people in eastern Germany are significantly more egalitarian than people in western Germany\, while on the other hand\, migration generates greater rejection in eastern Germany. This finding not only challenges society\, it also contradicts the assumptions of modernization theory. How can this difference be explained? Based on various theoretical approaches and empirical findings\, the lecture approaches this seemingly paradoxical situation and discusses its social preconditions and consequences.      \n \nDaniela Grunow is Professor of Sociology with a focus on “Quantitative Analyses of Social Change” at the Department of Social Sciences at Goethe University. Her research and teaching focus on the interactions of the labor market\, domestic work and gender relations in different welfare states as well as on aspects of social integration and cohesion. Daniela Grunow is spokesperson and PI of the research group FOR 5173: Reconfiguration and Internalization of Social Structure (RISS). She is also co-spokesperson and PI of the Frankfurt sub-institute of the Research Institute for Social Cohesion. In addition\, Daniela Grunow has led a number of German and international research projects\, including the ERC project “APPARENT -Transition to parenthood: International and national studies of norms and gender division of work at the life course transition to parenthood”\, as well as various ongoing and completed DFG and BMBF-funded projects.     \n \nMirko K. Braack has been a post-doc at the Frankfurt branch of the Research Institute for Social Cohesion since 2021. He studied political science and sociology in his Bachelor’s degree and sociology in his Master’s degree at the University of Rostock. In 2022\, Mirko Braack completed his dissertation project in sociology at the University of Rostock with his thesis “Exogamy and Participation in the Context of Migration. Quantitative studies on exogamous and same-sex partnerships in Germany and Europe’. Mirko Braack is interested in gender ideologies\, family sociology and the relationship between migrants and non-migrants\, as well as social boundaries and opportunities for participation. His previous research has been published in European Sociological Review and Genus\, among others.     \nAdmission is free.

SUMMARY:European regression? On the state of democracy 100 days after the 2024 European elections
DESCRIPTION:The feared landslide in favor of the extreme right failed to materialize in this year’s European elections\, even though these parties made gains. Has the success of nationalist and radical right-wing positions plunged the EU into a crisis that has recently often been described as an (anti-)democratic regression in the national context? 100 days after the elections\, the guests of this Crisis Talk will discuss the state of European democracy. What ways can the EU institutions find to restore citizens’ trust in the European institutions? How can we succeed in replacing nationalist slogans with common\, rational problem-solving in people’s minds?     \n  \nProgram\nGreeting \nParinas Parhisi\, Head of Unit Shaping the Future of the EU\, Representation of the State of Hesse to the EU \nStefan Kroll\, PRIF \nImpulse \nRainer Forst\, Professor of Political Theory and Philosophy and Director of the “Normative Orders” Research Center at Goethe University \nPanel discussion \nRainer Forst \nKatarina Barley\, Vice-President of the European Parliament \nSven Simon\, Member of the European Parliament \nModeration: Rebecca C. Schmidt\, Managing Director of the Research Center Normative Orders \nCrisis Talks of the Leibniz Research Network “Environmental Crises – Crisis Environments” \n Crises have historically been an important driver of change and progress in the EU. In crisis situations\, the EU\, which is characterized by great heterogeneity and geared towards consensual opinion-forming\, has so far mostly been able to create common perceptions\, overcome blockades and shape integration. In the Crisis Talks series\, the Leibniz Research Network “Environmental Crises – Crisis Environments” explores the question of how Europe should deal with its current and past crises.

(1st panel)\nTopic: What is a judgment? What is the relationship between subjective and objective judgment\, determining and reflective judgment? On the importance of reasoning\, justification and the consequences of rules in legal systems that are as plural as they are fragile.\nPanel: Prof. Dr. Dieter Grimm\, Prof. Dr. Jochen Bung and Dr. Tobias Wieland. Moderation: Prof. Dr. Klaus Günther and Prof. Dr. Benno Zabel \n16.30\nCoffee break \n17.00 hrs\nAffect\, habitus and practical knowledge (2nd panel)\nTopic: What does “aligning the judgment with a pass” mean? What significance do affect\, emotion and habitus have for judgment?

Moderation: Prof. Dr. Klaus Günther and Prof. Dr. Benno Zabel \n  \nTuesday\, October 8 \n9.00 a.m.\nThe spirit of the law – law\, politics and public spirit (3rd panel)\nTopic: The law wants to be formal and legal judgment apolitical\, but isn’t recourse to the spirit of the law already political? Is the formal and apolitical gesture of legal judgment an intrinsic value of normative orders? What is the relationship between legal hermeneutics\, legal judgment and public spirit/sensus communis? What technique of politicization is involved with regard to the legitimacy and critique of judgement? And is legal judgment emancipatory?\nPanel: Prof. Dr. Christoph Menke\, PD Dr. Rieke Trimcev\, Prof. Dr. Jelena von Achenbach and Dr. Samira Akbarian.

Does the concept of judgment presented here reflect the possibilities of judgment in and through the law? Can the legal judgment be based solely on the conflict/the case or must it be thought of in terms of lifeworld practice/subjective rights?\nPanel: Prof. Dr. Uwe Volkmann\, Dr. Tim Wihl\, Dr. Tatjana Sheplyakova and Prof. Dr. Thomas Biebricher. Moderation: Simon Kneip and Prof. Dr. Benno Zabel

SUMMARY:A DEUSA NEGRA (Black Goddess. BR/NG 1979. D: Ola Balogun)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nIntroduction: Didi Cheeka (Lagos) and Vinzenz Hediger (Frankfurt\, ConTrust) \nLecture: Crossing the Black Atlantic: Ola Balogun and A Deusa Negra (1978)\nReversing the course of the middle passage a significant number of relatively well-to-do Afro-Brazilian families relocated from Brazil to Lagos in Nigeria in the early20th century. In his 1978 film “A Deusa Negra” pioneering Nigerian film director Ola Balogun\, who is himself from one of those families\, tells the parallel histories of the transatlantic slave trade and one young contemporary Nigerian’s search for his Afro-Brazilian roots.\nDidi Cheeka is an off-Nollywood filmmaker\, critic and archivist-activist in Lagos.\nVinzenz Hediger is professor of cinema studies at Goethe University Frankfurt. \nFilm: A DEUSA NEGRA (Black Godess. BR/NG 1979. D: Ola Balogun)\n“On his deathbed\, the young Nigerian Babatunde makes his father promise to search Brazil for traces of his ancestors who were once enslaved there. Based on a can-domblé rite\, his journey leads him deeper and deeper into the foreign culture and\, in a dream-like sequence\, gives him a deeper understanding of the suffering and resilience of his ancestors. Balogun effortlessly combines the present with the past\, real worlds with magical ones\, discourse with trance. The music by Nigerian drummer Remi Kabaka\, which plays with repetitive patterns and distortions\, also contributes to the hypnotizing atmosphere.” (Arsenal e.V.) \n  \nFurther information and program: Here…

SUMMARY:The Incomparable Value of the Individual
DESCRIPTION:First lecture of the 11th Dagmar Westberg Lectures \nBy Christine M. Korsgaard. Korsgaard is one of the most important moral philosophers and Kant interpreters of our time. Her work is dedicated\, among other things\, to a justification of human dignity\, a foundation for our right actions and the justification of the moral status of animals. In the Dagmar Westberg Lectures\, she explores central questions of Kant’s practical philosophy in three lectures\, which she interprets in an innovative way. The first lecture deals with the incomparable value of the individual and explores what it actually means to be an “end in itself”. The second lecture is dedicated to the connection between right and good action and identifies their autonomy as an essential characteristic. Finally\, the third lecture will focus on morality as a condition of our freedom. \nPlease register at office@normativeorders.net.

SUMMARY:Constitutivism and the Value of an Action
DESCRIPTION:Second lecture of the 11th Dagmar Westberg Lectures \nBy Christine M. Korsgaard. Korsgaard is one of the most important moral philosophers and Kant interpreters of our time. Her work is dedicated\, among other things\, to a justification of human dignity\, a foundation for our right actions and the justification of the moral status of animals. In the Dagmar Westberg Lectures\, she explores central questions of Kant’s practical philosophy in three lectures\, which she interprets in an innovative way. The first lecture deals with the incomparable value of the individual and explores what it actually means to be an “end in itself”. The second lecture is dedicated to the connection between right and good action and identifies their autonomy as an essential characteristic. Finally\, the third lecture will focus on morality as a condition of our freedom. \nPlease register at office@normativeorders.net.

SUMMARY:Problematized police use of force and how to deal with it
DESCRIPTION:Under certain circumstances\, the police are authorized to use force in exceptional cases to enforce police measures. This can lead to mistakes\, overstepping of legal boundaries and abuse. At the same time\, the practice resulting from this authority to use force is highly controversial in society. Against this background\, specific uses of force by the police are repeatedly problematized by those affected and in the public debate. This article examines how discrepancies arise in the perception and assessment of the events by the various parties involved and how they deal with them. It also takes a look at how relevant allegations are dealt with\, particularly in subsequent criminal proceedings. The presentation is based on the results of the DFG research project “Assault in office by police officers”(https://kviapol.uni-frankfurt.de).       \nTobias Singelnstein is Professor of Criminology and Criminal Law at the Faculty of Law at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. He previously held the Chair of Criminology at Ruhr University Bochum from 2017 to 2022. His work focuses on criminology (including social control and society\, police and justice\, security research) as well as criminal law and criminal procedure law (including investigative measures and evidence law\, data processing in criminal proceedings\, criminal law and digitalization). In addition to more than 60 articles in specialist publications\, he has written various monographs on topics in these areas and edited a number of anthologies. In 2022\, his non-fiction book co-authored with Benjamin Derin\, “Die Polizei. Helpers\, Opponents\, State Power” was published by Econ/Ullstein in 2022.     \nAdmission is free.

SUMMARY:Policing Racism - Confronting (structural) racism in the police force
DESCRIPTION:Symposium on racism in the police force \nFrom right-wing chat groups to racial profiling – a large number of racist incidents in the police force have become public in recent years. Scientific research also shows that racist and anti-democratic attitudes are widespread within the police force\, even beyond these scandalized incidents. Studies make it clear that both working conditions and group dynamics as well as the institutional culture as such can promote the emergence of racist attitudes in the police force.   \nWith our symposium “Policing Racism – Confronting (Structural) Racism in the Police”\, we want to take a closer look at the police as an institution and shed light on official structures\, rules\, routines and the role of politics. It will consist of a keynote speech and a panel discussion and will also offer space for exchange and networking.  \nThe event is aimed at a specialist audience from educational practice\, science and research\, counseling centers for those affected and employees from security authorities in various areas of responsibility. \nParticipation is free of charge. Lunch will be provided.  \nRegister now! \nApplication deadline: November 6\, 2024

SUMMARY:Limits of trust? - Areas of tension between science\, politics and society
DESCRIPTION:Second ConTrust Practice Forum \nForum for exchange between science and practice\, with Vera King\, Andreas Schindel\, Tobias Singelnstein\, Tobias Wille\, Nicole Deitelhoff\, Florian Meesmann (Editorial Director MDR Aktuell)\, Ayse Asar\, LL.M. (State Secretary in the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art) – requested and Rebecca C. Schmidt\, among others  \nDemocracy is currently facing a question of trust like it hasn’t for a long time: Do citizens still have sufficient trust that democratically elected politicians will represent their interests and do so in such a way that the many challenges of our time will be solved? If this fundamental trust is increasingly crumbling\, then not only governments will falter\, but ultimately also the democratic order as such. This kind of development is reflected\, for example\, in the rise of right-wing populist parties\, some of which are openly anti-democratic\, whose simple proposals for solutions are becoming increasingly unsuccessful. So how can democratic politics gain trust? And what role does the exchange with science play in this? After all\, it is science that is supposed to provide reliable information and guidance. Can politics benefit from scientific findings in order to generate trust? Or is this hope in vain in the age of so-called alternative facts and discourse fragmented by social media?        \nThe second practical forum of the research initiative “ConTrust: Trust in Conflict. Political coexistence under conditions of uncertainty”. As researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds\, we want to enter into a constructive exchange with representatives from the media\, politics and other areas of practice. Different formats offer the opportunity to discuss thematic approaches\, formulate expectations\, but also to engage in informal discussions.

SUMMARY:Ignorance. Creates. Racism.
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture \nRacism is a problem. Nobody wants to be a racist and yet racism persists in our society. What unconscious contribution do we make every day to maintaining racist normality? How can we counter political racism in our society? And what role do universities play as places of knowledge production? In his public lecture\, Prof. Dr. Lorenz Narku Laing will develop new perspectives on racism and anti-racism. His aim is not only to inform\, but also to entertain. He invites us to embark together on an anti-racist journey for the good of our society\, based on current scientific studies.       \nLaing is a professor of racism research at EvH Bochum and founder of Diversityberatung Vielfaltsprojekte GmbH. He advises DAX companies\, theaters\, federal ministries and leading NGOs on discrimination\, among others. In 2023 he was honored for his work with the German Diversity Award and in 2021 with the Best Teaching Award of Zeppelin University.

SUMMARY:The Liberalism of Fear in Times of Democratic Distrust
DESCRIPTION:Workshop with Keynote \n“By now it is only too well known\,” wrote Judith N. Shklar in her first book\, After Utopia\, “that democracy is not inevitable\, that it may be destroyed from within\, and that even the most successful constitutional democracies are not the models of social perfection that the Enlightenment had dreamed about.” In her later writings on the liberalism of fear\, the sense of injustice\, and American political thought\, Shklar has undertaken manifold analyses of the auto-destructive dynamics within liberal democracies. One may\, for example\, think of her reflections on snobbery\, social inequality\, and the perils of personalized politics in Ordinary Vices\, her focus on phenomena such as “passive injustice” in The Faces of Injustice\, or her examination of the ambiguities of “citizenship as standing” in American Citizenship. All of these phenomena can be sources of distrust in a democratic system that\, as Shklar noted\, is always characterized by a fine balance between trust and distrust. In fact\, many of her writings can be read as an exercise of judgment aimed at distinguishing productive and destructive potentials of democratic distrust.     \nYet in many ways\, her critique of utopianism and transformative ideals of engaged citizenship as well as her claim that the liberalism of fear and democracy are in a mere “marriage of convenience” have overshadowed the versatility of her analyses of the workings and value of democracy\, both as an institutional system and a form of everyday life. Scholars who are rereading her work have only recently begun to pay more heed to the democratic theory of her liberalism. This workshop ties into this trend. It takes a more in-depth look at Shklar as a democratic theorist and at the democratic theory of the liberalism of fear as it may be developed with and beyond her. At a time of uncertainty when liberal democracy finds itself under serious pressure from authoritarian populism\, polarization\, and ideological illusions of the heart and the head\, her political thought holds out the promise to offer some alternative resources for democratic theory.     \nBut what are these resources? The workshop brings together experts on the liberalism of fear and theorists of democracy to address this question from multiple angles. For example\, we will discuss why Shklar held that distrust and the reflexive “fear of fear” can be productive forces to defend democratic institutions. Besides\, we examine one of her most important ideas\, namely that\, as she put it in The Faces of Injustice\, “democracy should respect the sense of injustice and grant it considerable scope.” In her view\, victims of injustice have a right to be heard. But what are the potentials and problems of focusing on victimhood in democratic theory? How can we be sure about whose voices to trust\, both for moral and epistemic reasons?       \nIn the face of a widely diagnosed “crisis of democracy\,” calls for more trust and social cohesion are commonplace. In his keynote ‘On Distrust in Democracy’ on the first day of the workshop\, Prof. Dr. Jan-Werner Müller (Princeton University) will ask in what sense democracy is a matter of trust. Might distrust and skepticism also have their place in democratic politics? And if so\, what should these attitudes be like not to undermine and even strengthen democracies and the processes through which conflicts and disagreement are dealt with? Müller is one of the most important political theorists of his generation. He works on the history of modern political thought\, liberalism and its critics\, populism\, the elements of what he calls the “critical infrastructure” of democracies\, and the normative dimensions of European integration. He has been teaching in the Politics Department of Princeton University since 2005\, where he also founded the Forum for the History of Political Thought. Before\, he held fellowships at All Souls College and the European Studies Centre in Oxford. Some of his most well-known publications include Constitutional Patriotism (Princeton UP)\, Contesting Democracy (Yale UP)\, What Is Populism? (University of Pennsylvania Press)\, Fear and Freedom (Suhrkamp) and Democracy Rules (FSG and Penguin).         \nThe keynote will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Rainer Forst. \nRegistration by November15th at ulrich@normativeorders.net \n\nSCHEDULE\nThursday 21st November \n13:30 – 14:00\nArrival at Building ‘Normative Ordnungen’\, Room 5.01 \n14:00 – 14:15\nWelcome & Introduction\nRieke Trimçev (Erlangen) and Amadeus Ulrich (Frankfurt) \n14:15 – 15:45\nPanel I\nKamila Stullerova (Aberystwyth): ‘The Democracy of Fear: On Judith Shklar’s Engagement of Fear as a Way of Addressing Democracies’ Illiberal Tendencies’\nAndreas Schindel (Frankfurt): ‘Fear and Compassion: Shklar’s Political Psychology’\nDiscussant: Greta Wagner (Frankfurt) \n15:45 – 16:00\nCoffee break \n16:00 – 17:30\nPanel II\nGuinia Gatta (Bocconi): ‘On Democracy’s Convenience: Thinking with Shklar about Liberalism\, Standing\, and Voice’\nShefali Misra (St. Michael’s College\, hybrid): ‘The Liberalism of the Fear of Irrationality’\nDiscussant: Sandra Seubert (Frankfurt) \n17:30 – 18:00\nCoffee break \n18:00 – 19:45\nKeynote lecture (in the Building ‘Normative Ordnungen’\, Room EG.01)\nJan-Werner Müller (Princeton): ‘On Distrust in Democracy’\nChair: Rainer Forst (Frankfurt)\nMore here… \nFriday 22nd November \n09:00 – 10:30\nPanel III\nChristine Unrau (Duisburg-Essen): ‘The Only Unforgivable Sin?

In his lecture ‘On Distrust in Democracy\,’ Prof. Dr. Jan-Werner Müller (Princeton) will respond to these questions. His keynote is part of a workshop on the liberalism of fear in times of democratic distrust\, which takes a more in-depth look at the democratic theory of the liberalism of fear as it may be developed with and beyond Judith N Shklar. At a time of uncertainty when democracy finds itself under serious pressure from authoritarian populism\, polarization\, and ideological illusions of the heart and the head\, her political thought holds out the promise to offer some alternative resources for democratic theory.       \nProfessor Müller is one of the most important political theorists of his generation. He works on the history of modern political thought\, liberalism and its critics\, populism\, the elements of what he calls the “critical infrastructure” of democracies\, and the normative dimensions of European integration. He has been teaching in the Politics Department of Princeton University since 2005\, where he also founded the Forum for the History of Political Thought. Before\, he held fellowships at All Souls College and the European Studies Centre in Oxford. Some of his most well-known publications include Constitutional Patriotism (Princeton UP)\, Contesting Democracy (Yale UP)\, What Is Populism? (University of Pennsylvania Press)\, Fear and Freedom (Suhrkamp) and Democracy Rules (FSG and Penguin).     \nThe keynote will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Rainer Forst (Frankfurt). \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:CONFUSION NA WA (NG 2013. D: Kenneth Gyang)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Didi Cheeka\, Vinzenz Hediger \nLecture:  Nollywood and the Black Atlantic. On Kenneth Gyang’s “Confusion Na Wa” (2013)\nRather than wait for government support or European money Nigerian filmmakers in the 1990s started a film industry from scratch and on their own terms. Initially influenced by Brazilian soap operas Nigerian video films told stories with a local focus which soon found a global audience. Kenneth Gyang’s “Confusion Na Wa” (2013) is increasingly emerging as one of the most influential films of “New Nollywood”. In a conversation with Tunde Aladese\, one of its stars\, Didi Cheeka and Vinzenz Hediger address the diasporic dimensions of the film’s Transatlantic references.\nDidi Cheeka is an off-Nollywood filmmaker\, critic and archivist-activist in Lagos.\nTunde Aladese is a writer\, screenwriter and actress based in Lagos and Berlin. She is the star of “Confusion Na Wa”.\nVinzenz Hediger is professor of cinema studies at Goethe Universiy Frankfurt am Main. \nFilm: CONFUSION NA WA (NG 2013. D: Kenneth Gyang)\nInspired by Fela Kuti’s song “Confusion”\, CONFUSION NA WA tells the story of a group of people whose lives become intertwined over the course of a day. \n  \nFurther information and program: Here…

SUMMARY:Water in a heated world: Climate-resilient water management as a task for the EU
DESCRIPTION:Water is one of our most important resources for life. It is also the central medium through which we recognize climate change. What’s more\, over 90 percent of catastrophic events worldwide are linked to water. The overuse of water resources\, unequal distribution\, loss of ecosystem services and the associated health risks can increasingly lead to regional water emergencies. For the EU\, too\, climate change and water management are therefore of paramount importance both for climate-resilient water management within the EU and with regard to impending international crises. This is reflected in the work of the European Parliament’s Committee on the Environment\, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI). The main report of the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU)\, which contains recommendations for action for climate-resilient water management\, will be published in Germany this fall. This Crisis Talk will present the recommendations and discuss their significance for European policy.        \n  \nProgram \nGreeting \nMarco Reuter (Deputy Head (acting) of the Representation of the State of Hesse to the EU)  \nDr. Stefan Kroll (Member of the Board PRIF – Leibniz Institute for Peace and Conflict Research) \nImpulse \nProf. Dr. Karen Pittel (Director of the ifo Center for Energy\, Climate and Resources) \nPanel discussion \nProf. Dr. Karen Pittel  \nStefan Köhler (inquired) (Member of the European Parliament) \n Patrick Child (Deputy Director General in DG Environment of the European Commission) \nModeration \nJulia Hoffmann (Communications and Strategy Consulting (ifok GmbH)) \n  \nCrisis Talks of the Leibniz Research Network “Environmental Crises – Crisis Environments” \n Crises have historically been an important driver of change and progress in the EU. In crisis situations\, the EU\, which is characterized by great heterogeneity and geared towards consensual opinion-forming\, has so far mostly been able to create common perceptions\, overcome blockades and shape integration. In the Crisis Talks series\, the Leibniz Research Network “Environmental Crises – Crisis Environments” explores the question of how Europe should deal with its current and past crises.

SUMMARY:THE TERROR AND THE TIME (GY 1979. D: Victor Jara Collective)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Iyabo Kwayana (New Hampshire) \nLecture: Terror and the Time: A Reflection on Poetic Resistance\nThis talk will explore the poetry of Martin Carter as a powerful source of anti-colonial resistance\, particularly within the context of Guyanese social and cultural movements. As the child of Eusi Kwayana\, one of the interviewees in the film and one of the dear friends to the late Martin Carter\, I witnessed Carter’s influence extends beyond words\, inspiring a poetic resistance that fueled the liberatory imaginaries of the filmmakers of Terror and the Time and those contemporaries engaged in resistance movements.\nIyabo Kwayana is an an educator and independent filmmaker whose film career spans from serving as director of photography for fiction films\, to director or (co)cinematographer for award-winning documentaries\, to directing and editing archival experimental films that leverage minstrel imagery to NASA footage to articulate personal trauma and catharsis. \nFilm: THE TERROR AND THE TIME (GY 1979. R: Victor Jara Collective)\nTHE TERROR AND THE TIME by the Victor Jara Collective\, accompanied by the poetry of Martin Carter\, examines British colonialism in Guyana by focusing on three historical moments. “The titular terror is British colonialism in Guyana; the time is 1953\, the year of the first elections under a provisional democratic constitution.” (Courtisane\, Ghent) “As the child of Eusi Kwayana\, one of the interviewees in the film and a good friend of the late Martin Carter\, I witnessed how Carter’s influence went beyond words to inspire a poetic resistance that fueled the liberating imagination of the filmmakers of THE TERROR AND THE TIME and their contemporaries engaged in resistance movements.” (Iyabo Kwayana)  \n  \nFurther information and program: Here…

SUMMARY:What do you think about migration - immigration as a question of national destiny?
DESCRIPTION:  \n56th Römerberg Talks\nImmigration currently seems to be Germany’s most important problem. Elections are won or lost on this issue. The fear of growing crime\, terrorist attacks by foreign perpetrators and the alarm cries of overburdened municipalities form a nightmare scenario with which populist parties are driving the political establishment before them.   \nAnyone who still advocates a welcoming culture\, defends the unrestricted right to asylum or points to the importance of migration for the labor market and social systems is denounced as unworldly and blind to the concerns of a section of the population. \n\n\nTime for a fact check and more differentiation: what is justified concern\, what is media hype\, what is politically motivated scaremongering? What do the crime statistics say? What are the possibilities\, opportunities and limits of politically shaped immigration? And what happens to a society whose awareness of the problem is narrowed down to the issue of containing unwanted migration?    \nModeration: Hadija Haruna-Oelker and Alf Mentzer \nThe event is open to the public. Admission is free.  \nProgram (pdf): Here… \nProgram \n\n10.00 a.m.\nGreeting \n10.15 a.m.\nVolker Heins\nThe Trump effect. A turning point for the migration society?  \n11.00 a.m.\nGina Wollinger and Thomas Hestermann\nAbout fear: migration and crime \n12.00 p.m.\nManuela Bojadžijev\nSolidarity and democracy.

SUMMARY:After Surveillance. Digital Intermediaries of Trust\, Confidence\, and Security
DESCRIPTION:Conference with two keynotes by Nicole Starosielski\, UC Berkeley and Nick Couldry\, LSE \nSurveillance capitalism\, platform capitalism\, data colonialism. Over the past decade\, scholars have coined a spate of new terms that attempt to periodize our present. But what if data extraction capitalism as we know it has already peaked? What if its seemingly powerful and robust digital platforms\, logistical infrastructures\, and market dominance do not herald a new era\, but rather a transitional period marked by security breaches\, precarious business models\, waste of energy\, and loss of trust? What if we think of our current situation as repercussions of the long 20th century and its Western modes of logistics\, distribution\, and audience research\, but one that is slowly fading away? What comes next as they give way to new global digital fabrics that operate on their own terms? How does society’s reliance on digital media and networks translate into new\, distributed forms of accountability and trust? And what are the theoretical implications of approaching today’s global digital society as unstable\, crisis-ridden\, and transitional?        \n“After Surveillance” explores the growing importance of digital intermediaries and mediation processes at a moment when they are becoming the new organizational realities of society. The conference brings together new comparative and global approaches to theorizing digital intermediaries in their own terms as ways of creating\, maintaining\, and disrupting coherence and trust. This perspective connects to a rich interdisciplinary field in media studies\, infrastructure studies\, and social theory. Concepts such as logistical media (Hockenberry et al. 2021; Peters 2015)\, digital media distribution (McDonald et al. 2021)\, (media) infrastructures (Parks & Starosielski 2015; Larkin 2008\, Edwards 2002)\, maintenance (Graham & Thrift 2007)\, cultures of risk\, trust and security (Goerzen and Coleman\, 2022; Bodó 2021; Galison 2010; MacKenzie 2001)\, or coproduction (Jasanoff 2004) offer ways of understanding digital intermediaries as media that organize and mediate (Beyes et al. 2022; Hoof & Boell 2019) while also emphasizing the ephemerality of such entanglements.    \nIn this regard\, “After Surveillance” focuses on the basic socio-material structures that underpin and shape how digital entanglements are organized\, how they are kept trustworthy and secure-or not. It pays attention to how digital technologies are refracted\, deployed\, mediated by\, and mediate existing social forms and practices. Specifically\, the conference will explore: intermediaries of trust-building and securitization; geographies and discourses of digital (mis)trust; socio-material imbrications of digital technology in pre-existing institutions and relations; new conceptual frameworks for describing current developments and processes; new proposals for historicizing\, naming\, and periodizing the present. The focus on digital intermediaries offers new ways of analyzing and understanding how institutions\, infrastructures\, discourses\, standards\, technologies\, business practices\, and networks give way to new global geographies\, and how digital entanglements are kept entangled\, but also how this gives rise to fundamental threads that shape the conditions of our lives.    \nThe conference is jointly funded and organized by Goethe University Frankfurt and Harvard University and will take place on December 16-17 in Frankfurt. \nMore on the event on its website aftersurveillance.info \nOrganizers\nHarvard University\, ConTrust and Normative Orders
