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. 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 with reference to the respective text. This will then be followed by a discussion\, first on the podium and then with the other participants.

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.

A film about the limits of the power of the documentary and the documentary in the fight against disinformation.   \nFilm screening of “The Viewing Booth”\, Ra’anan Alexandrowicz\, Israel/USA 2019\, 71 min. \nWith an introduction by Vinzenz Hediger\, Professor of Film Studies at Goethe University Frankfurt and PI of ConTrust\, followed by a discussion with the director

SUMMARY:LA PERMISSION (FR 1967. 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

SUMMARY:Critique of punitive reason. Studies on justice\, vulnerability and pain
DESCRIPTION:Book workshop \nIntroduction to the debate: Klaus Günther & Benno Zabel \nRegistration requested at: office.zabel@jur.uni-frankfurt.de \nMarch 14 and 15\, 2025  \n  \nProgram \nMarch 14\, 2025 \n14.00 to 16.00\nPanel I\nModeration: Jochen Bung\nCritique of the resilient and sovereign subject of punishment (chapters 3\, 5 and 6)\nDoris Schweitzer\, Max Pichl and Klaus Günther\nWhat critical potential does the concept of vulnerability mobilize\, what concept of autonomy and subject does criminal law work with and what problems does it entail? 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. Political Coexistence under Conditions of Uncertainty” – a cluster project of the State of Hesse at the Research Center “Normative Orders” at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main

SUMMARY:The end of the West - What's next?
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.

SUMMARY:Fundamental and human rights in Europe. 75 years of the ECHR\, 25 years of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights
DESCRIPTION:XXIV Walter Hallstein Colloquium  \nThe 24th Walter Hallstein Colloquium is taking two anniversaries as an opportunity to look at the protection of fundamental and human rights in Europe. 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.

SUMMARY:Justice as a topic of jurisprudence - continuity and change from an intergenerational perspective
DESCRIPTION:Scientific symposium in honor of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Ute Sacksofsky\, M.P.A. (Harvard) \nThe symposium is dedicated to the still underexposed questions of the connection between statutory law and justice\, as they arise in particular in cases of discriminatory exclusion of categorically defined groups of people\, such as the disadvantage of women.\nWith this topic\, the symposium also serves to honor the life’s work of Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Ute Sacksofsky\, whose endeavor has always been and still is to focus on the question of justice in such cases. She is to be honored as one of the founders of feminist jurisprudence\, a Frankfurt pioneer of feminist legal policy and theory who has significantly influenced and advanced the discussions on equality.\nThe aim of the symposium is to explore the development and current status of Ute Sacksofsky’s work based on central research topics and to think about Ute Sacksofsky’s contributions further. The temporality of feminist interventions and the shaping of feminist traditions through personal and content-related disruptions and discontinuities will be proactively considered and an intergenerational approach will be deliberately enabled: using five thematic areas as examples\, three people from different academic generations will discuss change\, further development and questioning based on Ute Sacksofsky’s central texts.   \n  \nContact:\nProf. Dr. Anna Katharina Mangold\, LL.M.

SUMMARY:Flânoirie: inscribing mobility through walking in Black German film
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nKarina Griffith (Berlin) \nA young university student searches for a room to let. An American GI searches for love between visiting record stores and gigging with his band.\nOlingo and They Call It Love\, respectively\, are both black and white student films featuring wandering Black male protagonists in Germany.

SUMMARY:"Motivation\, attitudes and violence in the everyday lives of police officers": The MEGAVO study
DESCRIPTION:Lecture series: Racism in the police – empirical findings\, methodological approaches and controversies \nLecture by Dr. Jochen Wittenberg (DHPol) \nReports from people affected by racism about unprovoked police checks\, humiliation or problematic use of force by the police continue unabated. They occupy the public debate; numerous political initiatives have been fighting for clarification\, in some cases for decades. In recent years\, empirical social research and police research have also increasingly taken up the topic.\nRacism in the police has various dimensions – from individual attitudes to structural forms – and can be investigated in different ways. As part of the lecture series\, researchers will present current empirical studies on racist attitudes and knowledge structures\, institutional reproduction mechanisms of racism and the perspectives of those affected in three lectures.    \n  \nOrganizer:\nProfessorship for Criminology and Criminal Law at the Institute for Criminal Sciences and Philosophy of Law at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main in cooperation with the Research Center “Normative Orders”

SUMMARY:Encruzilhadas das águas / Water Crossings\, routes for the Black Brazilian Cinemas' experiences
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Janaína Oliveira (Rio de Janeiro) \n“We are always in the middle of the journey\,” says essayist and poet Dionne Brand in A Map to the Door of No Return. The crossing of the Atlantic marks Black people’s historical and aesthetic experiences\, bringing fragmentation and incompleteness\, but also the crossroads that shape lives in the African diasporas. The Encruzilhadas das águas / Water Crossings program offers a path for thinking about the Atlantic routes that shape Black cinemas in Brazil\, proposing the encounter of contemporary works with Zózimo Bulbul’s pioneering film\, in a kind of cinematographic panorama through the waters.   \nJanaína Oliveira holds a Ph.D. in History and is a professor at the Federal Institute of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ). She is Head Programmer at the Zózimo Bulbul Black Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro and on the programming committees for FINCAR (Festival Internacional de Cinema de Realizadoras) and International Women Filmmakers Festival in Recife.   \nFilm Program:\nAlma no Olho (Soul in the eye)\, Zózimo Bulbul (Brazil\, 1973\, 13 min)\nNoirBlue\, Displacents of a dance\, Ana Pi\, Brazil\, 2018\, 27 min.\nSe o mar tivesse varandas (If the sea had balconies)\, Aline Motta\, Brazil\, 2017\, 9 min.\nMal di Mare (Seasick)\, João Vieira Torres\, France/Brazil\, 2021\, 15 min.\nMar de Dentro\, Lia Letícia\, Brazil\, 2024\, 8 min.\nDe um lado do Atlântico (On One Side of the Atlantic)\, Milena Manfredini\, Brazil\, 2017\, 7 min. \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

SUMMARY:The discreet charm of the old Indies: Congo\, Brazil\, and colonial fantasy in a French baroque tapestry
DESCRIPTION:Kantorowicz Lecture  \nLecture by Cécile Fromont (Professor of History of Art and Architecture and Faculty Director of the Cooper Gallery of African and African American Art at Harvard University) \nA tropical menagerie set in a lush landscape surrounds almost imperceptible human characters and architectural structures in the eight tableaux of the Old Indies\, a Baroque tapestry from the French Royal Factory of the Gobelins. Interrogating the sources\, provenance\, and reception of the visual program that made their success from the 17th century to today\, this talk sheds light on the long-forgotten African sources of their iconography and analyzes the long-invisible colonial dimension embedded in their alluring exotic tableaux. It puts into dynamic dialogue the context of their creation in the ebbs and flows of the early modern Atlantic World with the contemporary debates about their display as historically and socially charged objects of European artistic patrimony. \nCécile Fromont is Professor of History of Art and Architecture and Faculty Director of the Cooper Gallery of African and African American Art at Harvard University. Her writing and teaching focus on the visual\, material\, and religious culture of Africa and Latin America with a special emphasis on the early modern period (ca 1500-1800)\, on the Portuguese-speaking Atlantic World\, and on the slave trade. \n  \nPresented by:\nForschungszentrum Historische Geisteswissenschaften der Goethe-Universität in cooperation with the research center “Normative Ordnungen” and the Institut Franco-Allemand. With the kind support of the Friends and Sponsors of Goethe University

SUMMARY:African Boats and Scenes of Mourning in the Postcolonial Black Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Ayo Coly (Dartmouth) \nIn this presentation\, I query the trope of the African migrant boat in recent African cinemas. The trope has emerged in response to the phenomenon of the so-called “death-boats” that attempt to smuggle African migrants and refugees across the Atlantic to Europe. My presentation reads the trope in conversation with scholarship on the Black Atlantic and on modalities of mourning in the wake of the Middle Passage.   \nAyo A. Coly holds the Class of 1925 Chair at Dartmouth College where she is a Professor of Comparative Literature and African and African American Studies. \nFilm: The Pirogue\, Moussa Toure\, Artmattan Productions\, Senegal 2013\, 87 min.

SUMMARY:Equality in time? Intergenerational perspectives on the law
DESCRIPTION:Lecture as part of the series “Shaping the future – between climate change\, technology and social responsibility” \nLecture by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Britz (Professor of Public Law at Goethe University\, former judge of the Federal Constitutional Court) \nAs part of the exhibition “FIXING FUTURES: Planetary Futures between Speculation and Control”\, the MGGU – Museum Giersch of Goethe University\, together with the research center “Normative Orders”\, invites you to the lecture series “Shaping the Future – Between Climate Change\, Technology and Social Responsibility”.\nBetween May and July 2025\, experts from various scientific disciplines will shed light on key issues and challenges in dealing with shaping the future in the face of climate change.\nTopics such as the fair distribution of resources\, the use of artificial intelligence and algorithms as well as alternative futures will take center stage. The lectures offer an interdisciplinary dialogue between science\, art and activism and invite us to question the complex interactions between social processes and social norms that climate change and increasing technologization entail.\nThe series of events encourages us to ask questions such as whether and to what extent modern technologies can help us shape a sustainable future and what ethical\, political and social implications this entails. The dialog between the speakers and visitors opens up new perspectives and provides food for thought for actively shaping our future. \nThe events are open to the public. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:Trump and the Assault on the State
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture by Jeffrey Kopstein (Professor of Political Science at University of California\, Irvine) \nAcross the world\, in countries as diverse as Hungary\, Israel\, and the U.S.\, attacks on the modern state and its workforce are intensifying. These attacks are led by self-aggrandizing politicians who attempt to seize control of the state for themselves and their cronies. What replaces the modern state —professional government agencies organized under the rule of law— once it is fatally undermined is an earlier\, more destructive form of politics. \nIn a lecture based on his new book with Stephen Hanson\, The Assault on the State: How the Global Attack on Modern Government Endangers Our Future\, Jeffrey Kopstein describes the dangers of state erosion and outlines a strategy that can reverse this destructive trend. \nPlease register in advance with Sonja Sickert sekretariat.forst@soz.uni-frankfurt.de. \nPresented by:\nResearch Center Normative Orders of Goethe University and the Research Institute Social Cohesion (RISC) Frankfurt

SUMMARY:The Black Altantic and the Politics of Self-Representation in the Cinema: A Critical Analysis of Mati Diop's Atlantics (2019)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Femi Shaka (Port Harcourt) \nPaul Gilroy’s seminal work\, The Black Atlantic (1993)\, is cardinal to an understanding of the “ideas of the nation\, nationality\, national belonging\, and nationalism” as experienced by blacks in the diaspora. But as Zeleza (2005) noted\, “Gilroy’s central concern was to deconstruct the idea of the black race\, to divorce it from any African essence or presence\, to demonstrate its fluidity\, mutability and modernity\, and that black Atlantic cultural identities emerged in transnational and intercultural spaces of the diasporic experience itself.” This is where the work becomes problematic. Mati Diop’s film\, Atlantics (2019) offers a starting point for a critical discussion of how members of the refugee diasporas are represented in the cinema. \nFemi Shaka is professor of cinema studies at the University of Port Harcourt\, Nigeria. \nFilm: Atlantics\, Mati Diop\, France/Senegal/Belgium 2019\, 105 min.

SUMMARY:Europa in einer multipolaren Welt – Wie kann die EU den Herausforderungen gegenüber Großmächten begegnen?
DESCRIPTION:Crisis Talks \nEuropa tut sich schwer in einer Zeit\, in der die internationalen Beziehungen weniger durch Regeln geprägt sind als durch politische\, ökonomische und militärische Macht. Gleichzeitig ist die Forderung an die EU – aus Politik\, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft –\, sich des eigenen Potenzials zu vergewissern und selbst eine Macht zu sein bzw. zu werden. Aber kann Europa das und was für eine Macht sollte Europa sein? Im Rahmen dieses Crisis Talks geht es um die zentrale Frage\, wie europäischer Einfluss und europäische Verantwortung in einer multipolaren Welt gestaltet werden sollen. Die Herausforderungen sind groß. Die europäische Sicherheit muss eigenständig organisiert werden\, der globale Handel muss möglichst und weitgehend frei gestaltet sein\, globale Krisen müssen auch zukünftig mit einer starken europäischen Stimme\, aber mit neuen Partnern bzw. Allianzen gelöst werden. \nCrisis Talks des Leibniz-Forschungsnetzwerk „Umweltkrisen – Krisenumwelten“\nKrisen sind in der EU historisch ein wichtiger Motor der Veränderung und des Fortschritts. In Krisensituationen ist die von großer Heterogenität geprägte und auf konsensuale Meinungsbildung ausgerichtete EU bisher meist in der Lage gewesen\, gemeinsame Wahrnehmungen herzustellen\, Blockaden zu überwinden und Integration zu gestalten. Das Leibniz-Forschungsnetzwerk „Umweltkrisen – Krisenumwelten“ geht in der Reihe Crisis Talks der Frage nach\, wie Europa mit seinen aktuellen und vergangenen Krisen umgehen sollte. \nBegrüßung\nDr. Parinas Parhisi\nReferatsleiterin Grundsatzfragen der EU\nVertretung des Landes Hessen bei der EU \nRebecca C.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED! Unwanted. West German democracy and those persecuted by the Nazi regime
DESCRIPTION:Book presentation \nDUE TO THE EXPECTED HEAT AND THE SEVERE WEATHER WARNING FROM THE GERMAN WEATHER SERVICE\, WE UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO CANCEL THE EVENT.\nIT WILL BE RESCHEDULED IN THE FALL.\nLecture by  Prof. Dr. Stefanie Schüler-Springorum (spokesperson of the RISC Berlin site) followed by a discussion with Prof. Dr. Dr. Michel Friedman (lawyer and philosopher)  \nModeration: Prof. Dr. Sybille Steinbacher (Fritz Bauer Institute\, Normative Orders) \nAfter 1945\, there was no less anti-Semitism and racism\, no less hatred of homosexuals than during National Socialism\, but probably even more. The lecture describes the experiences of surviving Jews and Sinti and Roma\, former forced laborers and homosexuals in the western part of Germany in the first post-war decades. The common image of the successful democratization of the Federal Republic of Germany is torn apart by these stories. The experiences of those formerly persecuted show that the hatred and resentment against them did not simply disappear; they were deeply rooted in people’s minds and in some cases still are today.\nProf. Dr. Dr. Michel Friedman is a lawyer and philosopher and an associate member of RISC. Prof. Dr. Stefanie Schüler-Springorum is a historian and has been head of the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the TU Berlin and spokesperson for the RISC Berlin site since 2011.     \nStefanie Schüler-Springorum: Unwanted. West German Democracy and the Persecutees of the Nazi Regime. S. FISCHER 2025.   Further information about the book: Here… \nFunded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

SUMMARY:Diasporic Aesthetics\, Intermedial Dialogues. The films of Nicolás Guillé Landrián
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema” \nLecture: Jessica Gordon-Burroughs (Edinburgh) \nLecture: Diasporic Aesthetics\, Intermedial Dialogues. The films of Nicolás Guillé Landrián\nAfro-Cuban filmmaker and artist Nicolás Guillén Landrián’s final cinematic work in exile\, Inside Downtown\, co-directed with Jorge Egusquiza\, has barely been discussed in the growing critical literature on his oeuvre. This omission points to the persistent difficulties of making visible cinematographic works produced outside national production systems. However\, it also derives from the gaps and displacements in the supports and media that inevitably accompany diasporic production\, and that often disguise unexpected continuities in the trajectory of an artist.\nJessica Gordon-Burroughs is Lecturer in Latin American Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Edinburgh. Her essays have appeared in Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies\, Journal of Cinema and Media Studies and Discourse. \nFilms:\nCOFFEA ARÁBIGA (1968. 18 min.)\nOCIEL DEL TOA (1965. 17 min.)\nEN UN BARRIO VIEJO (1963\, 9 min.)\nLOS DEL BAILE (1965. 6 min.)\nINSIDE DOWNTOWN (2011. 30 min.) \nRealized with funds from the Adickes Fund of the Goethe University.
