(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.

DESCRIPTION:Workshop \nHow can diversity in university teaching be actively promoted and discrimination specifically prevented? What exactly contributes to an inclusive\, respectful learning atmosphere? Where is discrimination hidden in all the digital tools we use? What role do subconscious prejudices play in the teaching context? And should mistakes happen: How can they be addressed and dealt with? Prof. Dr. Lorenz Narku Laing provides answers to these questions and many more in a reflective\, entertaining and discursive workshop entitled “Designing diverse teaching”\, which is primarily aimed at teaching staff. \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.

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.

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?

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… URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/confusion-na-wa-ng-2013-d-kenneth-gyang/ LOCATION:Cinema of the German Film Institute & Film Museum\, Schaumainkai 41\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60596 CATEGORIES:Black Atlantic Cinema,Lecture & Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/BAC-plakat-990x1400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241204T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241204T140000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20250509T132056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T135850Z UID:10000387-1733317200-1733320800@normativeorders.net 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.

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… URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/the-terror-and-the-time-gy-1979-d-victor-jara-collective/ LOCATION:Cinema of the German Film Institute & Film Museum\, Schaumainkai 41\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60596 CATEGORIES:Black Atlantic Cinema,Lecture & Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/BAC-plakat-990x1400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241207T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241207T143000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20241212T160944Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250407T153750Z UID:10000304-1733565600-1733581800@normativeorders.net 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.

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 URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/after-surveillance-digital-intermediaries-of-trust-confidence-and-security/ LOCATION:Building “Normative Orders”\, Room 5.02\, Max-Horkheimer-Strasse 2\, Frankfurt\, 60323\, Deutschland ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Poster_final_1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241217T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241217T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20250509T141007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T141239Z UID:10000399-1734458400-1734465600@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:Legal battles in the Anthropocene.

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… URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/mandabi-the-postal-money-order-sn-1968-d-ousmane-sembene/ LOCATION:Cinema of the German Film Institute & Film Museum\, Schaumainkai 41\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60596 CATEGORIES:Black Atlantic Cinema,Lecture & Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/BAC-plakat-990x1400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250116T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250117T160000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20250509T142558Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T142558Z UID:10000403-1737050400-1737129600@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:Police\, racism and civil society - (im)possibilities of coming to terms with the past DESCRIPTION:Keynote and symposium \nPlease register at frickel@em.uni-frankfurt.de. \nProgram (pdf): Here… \n  \nProgram \nJanuary 16\, 2025\, 6 p.m.\nKeynote\nVanessa E.

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… URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/sambizanga-1972-d-sarah-maldoror/ LOCATION:Cinema of the German Film Institute & Film Museum\, Schaumainkai 41\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60596 CATEGORIES:Black Atlantic Cinema,Lecture & Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024_2025_Black_Atlantic_Cinema.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250123T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250124T150000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20250403T105558Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250409T142641Z UID:10000358-1737644400-1737730800@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:Trust and Conflict: Taking stock and looking ahead DESCRIPTION:Final annual conference of the ConTrust initiative \nProgram \nJanuary 23\, 2025 \n15:00\nWelcome (Spokespersons of ConTrust) \n15:15\nPanel 1\nThe Justification of Trust\nModeration: Prof. Greta Wagner (Goethe University)\nProf. Rainer Forst (Goethe University)\, Dr. Chiara Destri (Goethe University)\, Dr. Regina Schidel (Goethe University)\, Prof. Mark Warren (University of British Columbia) \n17:15\nCoffee Break \n18:00\nRoundtable “Trust\, Conflict and Beyond”\nModerated by Prof. Tobias Wille (Goethe University)\nProf. Nick Couldry (London School of Economics and Political Science)\, Prof. Martin Hartmann (University of Lucerne)\, Prof. Dietlind Stolle (McGill University\, Montréal\, Canada)\, Prof. Lisbeth Zimmermann (Goethe University) \nJanuary 24\, 2025 \n10:00\nPanel 2\nMediations of Trust\nModeration: Dr. Hanna Pfeifer (IFSH at the University of Hamburg)\nProf. Balazs Bodo (University of Amsterdam)\, Prof. Keith Breckenridge (University of the Witwatersrand)\, Prof. Vinzenz Hediger (Goethe University)\, Prof. Laliv Melamed (Goethe University)\, Dr. Linda Welgl (University of Amsterdam) \n12:00\nLunch \n13:00\nPanel 3\nTrust in Political Conflict\nModeration: Prof. Nicole Deitelhoff (Goethe University / PRIF)\nProf. Tobias Wille (Goethe University)\, Dr. Hendrik Simon (Goethe University / PRIF)\, Dr. lrene Weipert-Fenner (PRIF)\, Prof. Michael Zürn (Free University of Berlin/ WZB) URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/trust-and-conflict-taking-stock-and-looking-ahead/ LOCATION:Building “Normative Orders”\, EG.01\, Max-Horkheimer-Strasse 2\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60323\, Deutschland CATEGORIES:Annual conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/ConTrust_JK_final_A1_pdf-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250123T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250123T230000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20250509T143436Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T143436Z UID:10000407-1737662400-1737673200@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:Key Works of Afro-Brazilian Short Film DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film: Black Atlantic Cinema \nLecture: Janaína Oliveira (Rio de Janeiro) \nLecture: Key Works of Afro-Brazilian Short Film\nJanaína Oliveira has a Ph.D. in History and is a professor at the Federal Institute of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ).

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.

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.

D: Melvin van Peebles) DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Greg de Cuir Jr \nLecture: A Black American in Paris\nMelvin van Peebles left the United States to live and work in Europe in 1959\, and was invited to Paris for screenings on the strength of the short films he had made a few years earlier. After finding success as a journalist and novelist he would go on to direct his debut feature film La Permission in 1967 – in French – making him a pioneer of not only independent but also international Black cinema. This talk will explore van Peebles’ film work as something of a missing link in the history of French cinema\, also a fascinating outlier in the history of Black cinema\, and for its subversive depiction of the modern forms of “double consciousness” that Black men must negotiate both at home and abroad.\nGreg de Cuir Jr is co-founder + artistic director of Kinopravda Institute in Belgrade. In 2024 he organized programs for the Whitney Biennial in New York and was visiting lecturer at Universität Basel. \nFurther information and program: Here… \n  \nOrganizer\nInstitute for Theatre\, Film and Media Studies at Goethe University and Kino im deutschen Filmmuseum in cooperation with the research center “Normative Orders”\, the research cluster “ConTrust – Trust in Conflict” and the Hessian Film and Media Academy; realized with funds from the Adickes Fund of Goethe University URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/la-permission-fr-1967-d-melvin-van-peebles/ LOCATION:Cinema of the German Film Institute & Film Museum\, Schaumainkai 41\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60596 CATEGORIES:Black Atlantic Cinema,Lecture & Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024_2025_Black_Atlantic_Cinema.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250219T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250219T190000 DTSTAMP:20260422T193341 CREATED:20250509T152359Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T152359Z UID:10000423-1739959200-1739991600@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:The Power of Democracy DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance: haeusler@soz.uni-frankfurt.de \n  \nPrograms \n10:00\nWelcome and Introduction: Martin Saar \n10:30\nKeynote: Clarissa Hayward: “Power: A Structural View”\n(Moderation: Martin Saar) \n11:45\nCoffee \n12:15\nRainer Forst: “Noumenal Power and Democracy”\nRegina Kreide: “Digital Power.

Can the semantics of vulnerability bring out the social background of legal subject constructions and social pathologies to a greater extent than has been the case to date? \n16.00 to 16.30\nBreak \n16.30 to 18.30\nPanel II\nModeration: Katrin Höffler\nThe “miracle” of reasonable coercion: A critique of body politics in criminal law (chapters 5 and 6)\nMarkus Abraham\, Esther Neuhann and Michael Kahlo\nTo what extent can punitive pain be understood as state-sanctioned body politics\, how is individual suffering translated into social meaning and what does this mean for a humane approach to deviance? \nMarch 15\, 2025 \n10.00 to 12.00 a.m.\nPanel III\nModeration: Cornelius Prittwitz\nLaw and gender (chapters 4 and 6)\nKatrin Höffler\, Franziska Dübgen and Anja Schmidt\nCan the concept of vulnerability be used to better describe the precarious relationship between criminal law and gender relations\, for example by focusing on the still patriarchal and masculinist interpretation of the legal subject\, conflict patterns and conflict management? In addition to dealing with abortion\, the diverse constellations of partner violence should also be considered here. \n12.00 to 13.00\nBreak \n13.00 to 15.00\nPanel IV\nModeration: Doris Schweitzer\nNarratives and practices of exclusion (chapters 6 and 7)\nJochen Bung\, Christoph Burchard and Simon Kneip\nLiberal criminal law claims not to be a medium of exclusion\, despite the infliction of pain and the various stigmatizing practices. However\, a literary reconstruction based on Shakespeare’s Shylock and a genealogical contextualization can make it clear that the practices of criminal law were and are much more ambivalent\, even in their liberal epoch. We experience this ambivalence even in the present day\, including in the debate about a criminal law against enemies or in dealing with migration. \n  \nOrganizer:\n“ConTrust. Trust in Conflict.

DESCRIPTION:57th Römerberg Talks \nDie globale politische Landschaft hat sich verändert. Ist es zu früh\, das „Ende des Westens“ zu verkünden? Die Wertegemeinschaft\, die ihn einst ausmachte\, scheint jedenfalls gespalten und geschwächt. Nicht nur Europas Verhältnis zu den USA muss in den nächsten Jahren neu austariert werden. Global sind autoritäre Regime\, denen Rechtsstaat und Menschenrechte nichts bedeuten\, auf dem Vormarsch\, während Tech-Milliardäre in oligarchischer Manier neue Vorstellungen von Politik und Gesellschaft entwerfen\, in denen liberale Wertevorstellungen hinter wirtschaftlichen Interessen zurückzustehen haben. Die deutsche Bundestagswahl und die anschließenden Koalitionsverhandlungen werden auch im Kontext dieser Veränderungen der transatlantischen Wertegemeinschaft stattfinden. Welche Perspektiven für Deutschland & Europa\, seine Wertevorstellungen und seine Wirtschaftskraft\, lassen sich derzeit ausmachen? Was kann man sich für unsere Stellung in der neuen globalen Konstellation erwarten? Wie sehen Gegenentwürfe aus\, die die neue Weltordnung nicht den extremistischen Feinden liberaler\, demokratischer Gesellschaften überlassen wollen? \nThe event will be moderated by Hadija Haruna-Oelker (political scientist\, journalist and presenter) and Cécile Schortmann (journalist and TV presenter). \nImpressions of the event \nYou can find all video recordings here. \n \nProgram \n10.00 a.m.\nWelcome\nTimon Gremmels\, Hessian Minister for Science\nand Research\, Art and Culture\nIna Hartwig\, Head of the Department of Culture and Science of the City of Frankfurt am Main \n10.15 a.m.\nClaus Leggewie\nReckoning.

The year 2025 will mark the 75th anniversary of the signing of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR)\, and 25 years will have passed since the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union was proclaimed. The past decades were initially characterized by the constant expansion and deepening of the European Union of fundamental rights. Thematically\, new questions of adaptation to changing social\, technological and global political conditions and upheavals have arisen time and again. European fundamental rights have been the scene of judicial conflicts between the European and national levels and have undergone various cycles of reform as well as political disputes over the dismantling of European protection. Most recently\, illiberal tendencies\, migration movements and the war in Ukraine have challenged European human rights protection. These topics will be discussed in four panels with experts from academia\, jurisdictions and European institutions. \nRegistration until March 21\, 2025 to: psaila@jur.uni-frankfurt.de (Prof. Dr. Stefan Kadelbach Secretariat) \n  \nProgram\n\nThursday\, March 27\, 2025 \n14.15\nGreeting\nStefan Kadelbach\, Rainer Hofmann\nWilhelm Merton Center \n14.30\nPANEL 1: Civil liberties and the rule of law (ECHR and CFR)\nModeration: Rainer Klump\, Wilhelm Merton Center\nMattias Wendel\, Leipzig: European citizenship and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights\nStefanie Schmahl\, Würzburg: Climate protection and the ECHR \n15.30\nDiscussion \n16.00\nCoffee break \n16.30\nPANEL 2: Social rights\nModeration: Andrea Kießling\, Frankfurt\nClaudia Hofmann\, Frankfurt a. d.
