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: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:LITTLE SENEGAL (DZ/FR/DE 2001. D: Rachid Bouchareb)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Boukary Sawadogo (New York) \nLecture: Blackness: Politics and Affect of Kinship in Little Senegal\nLittle Senegal (2001) by the Algerian French director Rachid Bouchareb brings to the fore Africa’s relation to Black America through intimacy\, affect\, and a space with fraught history to race and racism. While African Americans face the challenge of double consciousness\, Africans who experience the American notion of race for the first time must contend with triple consciousness as Black\, African\, and immigrant.\nDr. Boukary Sawadogo is Associate Professor of cinema studies and Black Studies in the Department of Media and Communication Arts at the City College of New York – City University of New York (CUNY). He is the author of five books and the founding director of the Harlem African Animation Festival.  \nFilm: LITTLE SENEGAL (DZ/FR/DE 2001.

Who is Black in America? How are narrative and duality in representations deployed to portray complex interpersonal relations among Black people in America?” (Boukary Sawadogo)  \n  \nFurther information and program: Here…

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?

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

SUMMARY:MANDABI The Postal Money Order (SN 1968. D: Ousmane Sembene)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Daniel Fairfax (Frankfurt) \nLecture: Symbolic Capital: Mandabi (1968) by Ousmane Sembene\nAn adaptation of his own novella Le Mandat\, Ousmane Sembene’s Mandabi (1968) was the first feature-length film made in the Wolof language\, following Senegalese independence in 1960. The protagonist Ibrahima (Makhouredia Gueye)\, an endearingly feckless unemployed man who lives with his two wives and a brood of children in Dakar\, has his life turned upside down when a money order for 25\,000 CFA francs arrives from his nephew in France. Working in an ironic mode\, Sembene’s focus on the trans-national capital flows symbolized by Ibrahima’s money order highlights the continued economic control that France wields over its former African colonies.\nDaniel Fairfax teaches film at Goethe-University Frankfurt\, where he coordinates the international master degree in Audiovisual and Cinema Studies. He is the author of The Red Years of Cahiers du Cinéma (1968-1973 (Amsterdam University Press\, 2021))\, has translated the writings of Jean-Louis Comolli\, Christian Metz and Jean-Pierre Meunier.  \nFilm: MANDABI (The Postal Order. SN 1968. D: Ousmane Sembene)\n“Ibrahima\, an amiable unemployed man living in Dakar with his two wives and a host of children\, is thrown off balance when a money order for 25\,000 CFA francs arrives from his nephew in France. While he is supposed to keep most of the money for his nephew’s return to Senegal\, Ibrahima becomes entangled in a bureaucratic nightmare as he tries to establish his identity status in order to cash the money order. Ousmane Sembene’s MANDABI\, an adaptation of his own satirical novel Le Mandat\, was the first feature-length film to be made in the Wolof language after Senegal’s independence in 1960.” (Daniel Fairfax)   \n  \nFurther information and program: Here…

SUMMARY:SAMBIZANGA (1972. D: Sarah Maldoror)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Jennifer Blaylock (Rowan University) \nLecture:  The Thin Green Line Between Canons and Revolutions. On Sarah Maldoror’s Sambizanga (1972) \nWhat happens to the revolutionary grainy aesthetics\, the militancy of the imperfect image\, the subversive qualities of the damaged 16mm print\, when a film enters the artistic canon? This talk will compare the degradation of 16mm Sambizanga prints in circulation in the United States during the #BlackLivesMatter movement with the recent restoration of the film and its new edit of a critical scene centered on “Black joy\,” to argue that the scratches of small gauge material history release a revolutionary affect that is different from the aestheticization of revolution emphasized in the conservative act of Sambizanga‘s restoration.\nDr. Jennifer Blaylock is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radio\, Television & Film at Rowan University. \nFilm: SAMBIZANGA (AO/FR/CD 1972. D: Sarah Maldoror)\nSAMBIZANGA is set in 1961: the liberation struggle is also gaining momentum in Angola. Sarah Maldoror uses everyday images to tell the story of Maria’s search for her husband Domingos\, who was arrested for joining the revolution. Maldoror sensitively reveals the loneliness of a woman on an arduous journey and focuses on the time and effort required to cover this distance. Maria’s march\, her quest\, turns out to be a sensitive and powerful metaphor for the suffering of the Angolan people and their “development of a revolutionary consciousness”. (S. Maldoror)     \n  \nFurther information and program: Here…

SUMMARY:Materialism. Between Totality and Plurality
DESCRIPTION:Workshop \nPlease register at: jonas.heller@normativeorders.net \nThursday\, January 30th\, 16:00-18:00\n\n Introduction: Simon Gurisch \nPanel 1: Race\nReference: Saidiya Hartman\, Scenes of Subjection\nParticipants: Penny Deutscher (Northwestern)\, Juliane Rebentisch (Hamburg)\nModeration: Rime Abd Al Majeed \nFriday\, January 31st\n\n 10:00-12:00: Panel 2: Gender\nReference: Judith Butler\, Bodies That Matter\nParticipants: Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky (Bochum)\, Adriana Zaharijević (Beograd)\nModeration: Hannah Hübner \n14:00-16:00: Panel 3: Work\nReference: Herbert Marcuse\, One-Dimensional Man (chaps. 2\, 3 and 6)\nParticipants: Christoph Menke (Frankfurt)\, Maria Muhle (Munich)\nModeration: André Möller \nProgram (PDF): Here… \nThe workshop\, which will take place during and on the occasion of Penelope Deutscher’s Humboldt Prize residency at the University of Frankfurt\, aims to bring two different models and methods of critical theory into conversation with one another. These two models can be characterized by how they describe the power formations of contemporary societies. On the one hand\, there is a type of theory that seeks to explain the various power formations (in the subject\, love\, families\, institutions\, the economy\, politics\, etc.) as coherently as possible. This is the aim of the concept of “totality”. On the other hand\, there is a type of theory that assumes an irreducible diversity\, even heterogeneity\, of power formations and describes their contrasts and connections as a game of permanent change; in this perspective\, totalization is impossible\, even falsifying. Both types of theory have different historical sources and lines of development; they work with different “conceptual persons” and methodologies. But they also experience that they speak about the same thing and can mutually illuminate – and perhaps even change – each other in their attempts to grasp a concrete object.\nThe workshop is accordingly an experiment in dialog between the two forms of critical theory. This dialog will unfold here in the field of materialism\, which we have in turn divided – in the simplest and therefore most conventional way possible – into the questions of race\, gender and work.\nIt is intended that each of these three dialogs will refer to a relevant text\, which we hope many of the participants will be familiar with and have re-read in advance. Accordingly\, the invited speakers will be asked to develop their perspective on the topic and the state of the discussion in a 20-minute input. This will then be followed by a discussion\, first on the podium and then with the other participants.          \n___________________________ \nThe workshop\, which will take place during and on the occasion of Penelope Deutscher’s Humboldt Prize residency at the University of Frankfurt\, aims to bring two different models and methods of critical theory into conversation with one another. These two models can be characterized by how they describe the power formations of contemporary societies. On the one hand\, there is a type of theory that seeks to explain the various power formations (in the subject\, in love\, families\, institutions\, the economy\, politics\, etc.) as different elements in a coherent and self-enclosed “totality”. The other type of theory\, in turn\, assumes an irreducible diversity\, even heterogeneity\, of power formations and describes their contrasts and connections as a game of permanent transformation; in this perspective\, totalization is impossible\, even distorting. Both types of theory have different historical sources and lines of development; they work with different “conceptual persons” and methodologies. But they also share the experience that they talk about the same thing and can mutually illuminate – and perhaps even change – each other in their attempts to grasp a concrete object.\nAccordingly\, the workshop is an experiment in dialog between these two forms of critical theory. This dialog will unfold here in the field of materialism\, which we have in turn divided – In the simplest and therefore most conventional way possible – into the questions of race\, gender and labor.\nIn order to facilitate discussion\, we propose that each of these three dialogues will refer to a relevant text\, which we hope many of the participants will be familiar with and have re-read in advance.

SUMMARY:Democratic cohesion
DESCRIPTION:In contemporary political discussions\, diagnoses of a crisis of democracy are often linked to the statement that social cohesion is at risk and needs to be strengthened. However\, the answers to the question of what form of cohesion is characteristic and desirable for a democracy are diverse. They range from nationalist to cosmopolitan positions\, from those that emphasize the importance of cultural equality\, to those that emphasize social diversity and conflict\, to those that see social and economic equality as indispensable. So it’s time to take stock and reflect on the current situation: what does “democratic cohesion” mean?    \nFrom February 11 to 12\, 2025 – and thus immediately before the new Bundestag elections – the conference Democratic Cohesion will take place in Frankfurt. The conference will kick off with an evening debate on February 11 in Frankfurt’s Paulskirche\, a central venue in the history of German democracy. On 12 February\, all conference participants will discuss key areas of tension in current democracy research\, including increasing radicalization\, the constitution of democratic institutions and drivers of polarization and populism. The Market of Opportunities with actors and initiatives from all over Hesse will offer very practical insights into concrete democracy work and basic research.        \n  \nProject goals\nThe event is part of the immediate program 11+1 for Hesse and the resulting funding line Strengthening Democracy Research Hesse of the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts (HMWK). Our conference in February is explicitly aimed at the interested public\, particularly in view of the debate in St. Paul’s Church on Tuesday evening. The second day offers the specialist public from research\, politics\, administration and civil society the opportunity for mutual exchange and networking. The Market of Opportunities\, which is also open to the public    also signals the strong integration of concrete democracy work and application-oriented basic research into the overall picture of the new democracy format. \nThe conference is fully booked. You can find the link to the livestreams below.  \nFurther information: Here… \n  \nProgram\n\nKick-off event: 11 February 2025\nVenue: Frankfurt Paulskirche (Paulsplatz 11\, 60311 Frankfurt a.
