Achievements and burdens of a political awakening DESCRIPTION:The international protest movement of 1968 had a local West German focus in Frankfurt. 50 years later\, the revolt seems to be a cause for either idealizing nostalgia or furious defamation. Time to ask what “68” still has to say to us today. \nWhat can we learn from the protests of 2018 in Europe? What has remained of the uprising and the awakening\, and what should be carried forward politically into the future? Do we need a political renaissance? What social incrustations must we revolt against today – and with what moral legitimacy? \nThe Römerberg Talks take the historical anniversary as an opportunity for current and personal self-assurance: What changes do we need today\, and to what extent do the experiences of the global protest movement of 1968 help or hinder us? \n10:15 – Armin Nassehi\nReflection and moralization as a pose – what remains of 1968 \n11:15 – Priska Daphi\nWhat does protest culture look like today? \n12:15 – Ulrich Herbert\nReform and revolt – 1968 in diachronic and transnational perspective \n13:00 – LUNCH BREAK \n14:15 – Wolfgang Kraushaar\nThe benefits and disadvantages of the history of 1968 for left-wing politics \n15:30 – Christina von Hodenberg and Gisela Notz in conversation\nHow emancipatory was 1968? \n17:00 – Martin Saar\nWhat was (and is) the “democratization of democracy”? \n18:00 – END URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/intervention-1968-2018-what-is-left-achievements-and-burdens-of-a-political-awakening/ LOCATION:Chagallsaal of the Schauspiel Frankfurt\, New Mainzer Str. 17\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60311 CATEGORIES:Römerberggespräche ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-5.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20180525T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20180525T220000 DTSTAMP:20260421T143205 CREATED:20250410T140326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250410T140326Z UID:10000375-1527276600-1527285600@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:Democracy for all: Is the '68 awakening in danger? DESCRIPTION:Frankfurt Citizens’ University event “50 years in motion – 1968 and the consequences” in summer semester 2018 and winter semester 2018/19 \nIn his 1969 government declaration\, Willy Brandt coined the formula: “Daring more democracy”. The opening evening will first examine the background to this democratic deficit (perceived and real) and discuss the extent to which 1968 and the subsequent socio-political reforms have actually succeeded in reducing such a deficit. After all\, Jürgen Habermas spoke of a “fundamental liberalization” in the 1980s. However\, observers now note a “backlash”. The rise of right-wing populist parties and authoritarian regimes\, which are constitutionally pluralistic democracies\, are seen as signs of a countermovement. Is the era of emancipatory optimism coming to an end? \nThese and other questions will be discussed by: Jürgen Kaube\, editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; Prof. Rainer Forst\, political philosopher\, spokesperson of the Cluster of Excellence Normative Orders; Jutta Ditfurth\, author\, sociologist\, Frankfurt city councillor; Albrecht von Lucke\, legal and political scientist\, publicist\, editor of Blätter für deutsche und internationale Politik. Prof. Nicole Deitelhoff\, political scientist\, member of the Cluster of Excellence and Managing Director of the Leibniz Institute Hessian Foundation for Peace and Conflict Research (HSFK)\, will moderate the event.

Or how democracy keeps its composure DESCRIPTION:The public climate is currently becoming harsher. A new desire for destruction is spreading in society and politics. International and national\, digital and analog\, right and left: it is better to stand in front of a pile of broken glass than to be forced into the corset of the established order. \n\n\n\nThe disenchantment with politics seems to have developed into a weariness with democratic and civil manners. The destructive character of Donald Trump suddenly appears as a standard-setting role model that is being imitated in\nGermany and abroad. \nWhat is behind the desire to set society on fire and deliberately break taboos? How should society and politics deal with this radicalization and emotionalization of the public beyond the widespread bewilderment? Can anger\, indignation\, destructiveness and hatred be transformed into a willingness to engage in dialog? How can we reconcile the courage to contradict with the patience to listen? \n10:00 – Opening \n10:15 – Nicole Deitelhoff\nDemocracy needs conflict!

Last Exit after Brexit Can Europe still be saved? DESCRIPTION:Europe has never been under such attack as it is now. There are calls for integration to be reversed or this has already led to concrete steps being taken in some EU member states. The criticism is accompanied by very different assessments of the omissions and mistakes made in the past. In addition\, global political players such as Trump and Putin are more or less openly hostile to the EU. \nIn contrast\, the forces of cohesion appear to be waning and the defense of the EU as a political project is comparatively weak. European integration has many enemies\, nationalism has become state doctrine in many countries\, while the dream of a united Europe is hardly attractive anymore. \nTwo weeks before the European elections\, the Römerberg Talks in the “European City of Frankfurt” would like to know whether Europe can still be saved in view of the widely articulated disappointments and the rampant hatred of “Brussels”. And if so\, what would the necessary steps for such a rescue look like? And what can we hope for? \n10:15 – Philip Manow\nEuropean elections as European protest elections \n11:15 – Christine Landfried\nWhere is the European public hiding? \n12:15 – Andreas Rödder\nEurope\, become essential!

Social and geographical cohesion in democracy DESCRIPTION:Event as part of the Citizens’ University “Thinking Democracy Forward” in the winter semester 2019/2020 \n“Now what belongs together is growing together”\, said Willy Brandt\, and Helmut Kohl predicted “blooming landscapes”. Three decades later\, this optimism seems to have faded. Objectively speaking\, too\, there are still clear differences between East and West\, for example in terms of income and management: the vast majority of bosses in the East come from the West; according to a survey published at the beginning of the year\, none of the rectors of East German universities were born in the former GDR. Despite prospering regions such as Leipzig or Jena\, many East Germans seem to feel left behind and that their life’s work is not appreciated. But it is not only a “gap” between East and West that is becoming apparent. Recent studies indicate that there are also major structural problems in the territory of the old Federal Republic\, for example in the Ruhr region. \nDiscussing on the podium: Prof. Dr. Birgitta Wolff (President of Goethe University)\, Prof. Dr. Matthias Middell (Speaker FGZ Leipzig)\, Prof. Dr. Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln (Economist\, Goethe University)\, Prof. Dr. Uwe Cantner (Chairman of the Expert Commission on Research and Innovation of the Federal Government & Vice President University of Jena).

Daring more change! DESCRIPTION:47th Römerberg Talks \n1989 not only marked the end of an era in German history. The East-West divide also seemed to have been happily overcome\, open European borders and the democratization of former dictatorships promised a better future\, but this spirit of optimism has long since given way to a political hangover. New divisions have emerged within Europe\, and walls and borders are also back in fashion globally. Concerns about social security\, future prosperity and visions of ecological fear have replaced the euphoria of ’89. \nThe Römerberg Talks take the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall as an opportunity to take a critical look at the global present: where are the major lines of conflict and divides today\, and where should a similarly courageous departure into a new era be dared in 2019? \n10:00 – Welcome Angela Dorn\nHessian State Minister for Science and the Arts \n10:15 – Ivan Krastev\nMaking Sense of the Long 1989 (in English) \n11:00 – A discussion with Gunther Hellmann and Ivan Krastev (moderated by Rebecca C.

Anne Peters\, LL.M. (Harvard) (Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg) \nRights of animals and nature\nDuties\, responsibility and artificial intelligence \nThe boundaries between animals\, humans and machines are becoming increasingly blurred. The primacy of humans\, who are in the process of destroying the planet\, is also being questioned. In this constellation\, does it make sense and is it necessary to grant rights to animals\, mountains\, rivers and forests\, as courts in Latin America and India do? What are the practical consequences for our treatment of nature and animals\, especially those that we exploit and kill by the billions? On the other hand\, should we impose legal obligations on intelligent machines? Could an unmanned drone make itself liable to prosecution if it violates international humanitarian law? Do we need to establish a new legal community in which humans\, animals and cyborgs have a place?

Crisis of democracy DESCRIPTION:Event as part of the Citizens’ University “Thinking Democracy Forward” in the winter semester 2019/2020 \nDemocracy is in a constant process of transformation – and is in crisis in many parts of the world. However\, the interdisciplinary exhibition project “Making Crises Visible”\, under the patronage of the Hessian Minister for Science and Art\, Angela Dorn\, shows that the crisis can also always be understood and overcome as an opportunity. At the interface between science and art\, it deals with diverse and man-made crises. \nThe presentation is the result of cooperation between the Leibniz Institute Hessian Foundation for Peace and Conflict Research\, the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main\, Goethe University and the Senckenberg Nature Museum. The aim is to test new ways of transferring knowledge. In the artistic visualization of the crisis\, it does not appear as hopeless\, but as an activating force. \nBased on this\, the panel discussion “Making Crises Visible – Crisis of Democracy” on February 10\, 2020 at 7.30 pm\, Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung\, Hörsaal im Arthur-von-Weinberg-Haus\, Robert-Mayer-Straße 2\, 60325 Frankfurt am Main\, will discuss new and different approaches to the crisis\, which can stimulate dialog in society and serve as a starting point for a new orientation. \nProgram \nAt the beginning\, Prof. Dr. Nicole Deitelhoff (political scientist\, Goethe University/Hessian Foundation for Peace and Conflict Research) will give a keynote speech. She emphasized the potential of cooperation between science and art to gain new insights. “Through mutual questioning and irritation\, both sides gain new insights into their subject matter and generate new questions and\, ideally\, new answers\,” said Deitelhoff. \nThis will be followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Stefan Kroll (political scientist\, Leibniz Research Alliance “Crises in a Globalized World”)\, Prof. Dr. Rainer Forst (political philosopher\, Goethe University)\, Prof. Dr. Verena Kuni (Professor of Visual Culture\, Goethe University) and Prof. Dr. Katrin Böhning-Gaese (Member of the Board of Directors\, Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung / Director\, Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre). The moderator will be Susanne Boetsch (Head of Administration\, Hessian Foundation for Peace and Conflict Research).

DESCRIPTION:Livestream from the theater \n49th Römerberg Talks \nThe pandemic is becoming a stress test – not only for the individual\, but also for the political system. Fundamental rights are restricted\, laws are shortened to regulations. The government is staging itself as an efficient crisis manager\, drawing conclusions from scientific findings with no alternative. In the face of the viral threat\, relapses into seemingly authoritarian state action and nationalism that was thought to have been overcome are becoming visible across borders. \nAre citizens left with nothing but fear and powerlessness when experts are in charge? What long-term consequences will the continued lockdown have – psychologically and politically? What will happen to individual freedom\, mutual trust and civic sovereignty? How will the relationship between the state\, science and society change? How can civil society once again become the site of a critical public sphere? How much trust do we have to place in government action and scientific truth; how much can we question it – without playing into the hands of unfounded conspiracy beliefs? \nIn times of crisis\, the limits and possibilities of politics are redefined – with what risks and side effects? This is the question posed by the Römerberg Talks in the super election year 2021 and four months before the Bundestag elections. \n10:00 – Welcome Angela Dorn / Ina Hartwig\nHessian Minister of State for Science and Art / Head of the Department of Culture and Science of the City of Frankfurt am Main \n10:15 – Armin Nassehi\nThe infected society and its immune reactions \n11:00 – Thomas Brussig – Günter Frankenberg\nDare more dictatorship?

The researchers of the ConTrust cluster initiative\, however\, assume that in modern societies\, trust not only has to prove itself in conflicts and can thus be consolidated\, but that under certain conditions it is only created there. At the same time\, there are problematic dynamics in which trust in certain people or parties fuels or hardens conflicts. For ConTrust\, this observation gives rise to the task of shedding light on the contexts of trust and conflict in order to determine the conditions for the successful resolution of social conflicts. \nThe event can be followed via livestream.

Power. Justice. Who is allowed to speak and how? DESCRIPTION:50th Römerberg Talks \nGender asterisks\, inline I’s and discriminatory terms – nothing is currently being debated as passionately as the correct use of language. A sense of justice is pitted against a sense of language. Some want to speak in a more inclusive and non-discriminatory way\, while others feel compelled to make phonetic contortions. While for some\, language is the repository of historical and social injustices\, others feel patronized and overwhelmed by the inflation of ever new linguistic norms. In some places\, gender language is now seen as the dominant language of a well-educated milieu in which not everyone participates. On the other hand\, non-binary and trans people are struggling for social visibility. \nThe claim of a “language dictatorship” is already doing the rounds. This is obviously about more than just the correct use of words. What is this actually about and who decides how we should speak? \n  \n10:00 – Welcome Ina Hartwig\nHead of the Department of Culture and Science of the City of Frankfurt am Main \n10:15 – Aladin El-Mafaalani\nCombat zone language: What does society negotiate? \n11:00 – Paula-Irene Villa Braslavsky\nIdentity\, language and discrimination – How does a society communicate? \n12:00 – Henning Lobin – Peter Graf von Kielmansegg – Thomas Thiel\nFraming – How politics is made with language \n13:00 – Lunch break \n14:00 – Gudrun Perko – Ute Sacksofsky\nLanguage and justice \n14:45 – Nele Pollatschek – Anatol Stefanowitsch\nLanguage and Protest – The Gender Debate in Germany \n15:45 – Sasha Marianna Salzmann\nRecognizing language \n16:15 – Martin Seel\nPower and counter-power of language \n17:00 – End URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/50-language-power-justice-who-is-allowed-to-speak-and-how/ LOCATION:Chagallsaal of the Schauspiel Frankfurt\, New Mainzer Str. 17\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60311 CATEGORIES:Römerberggespräche ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20220430T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20220430T170000 DTSTAMP:20260421T143205 CREATED:20241212T143140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250410T082651Z UID:10000238-1651312800-1651338000@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:#51 The Ukraine war and the new world disorder DESCRIPTION:51st Römerberg Talks \nFebruary 24\, 2022 will be a rude awakening for Europe. Previous foreign policy norms and diplomatic rules have been shaken to their foundations by the Russian attack on the territorial integrity of a free country\, which makes a mockery of international law\, not least a traditionally anchored pacifism. Countless people\, but also previous certainties\, have been buried under Putin’s war machine. \nThe attack on Ukraine has shaken the notion of a global order based on cooperation. Overnight\, the West finds itself confronted with geostrategic ambitions in which Russia has the backing of nuclear powers such as China and India. \nPutin’s war is not only aimed at Ukraine\, but also at the stability and internal peace of Western democracies. The open societies will have to prove that they are a match for the military and intellectual mobilization of their enemies. The hope of eternal peace in Europe that arose with the fall of the Berlin Wall seems to have been exposed as an illusion. What will we be able to rely on in the future? What should we do? What can we hope for? \nProgram \n10:15 – Karl Schlögel\nThe order in the head and the disorder of the world \n11:00 – Alice Bota – Jurko Prochasko\n(K)ein neuer Krieg – Osteuropäische Perspektiven \n12:00 – Viktor Yerofeyev\nPutin and Europe \n13:00 – LUNCH BREAK \n14:00 – Charlotte Klonk\nAgain “Never Again” – Images of War \n14:45 – Stefan Kadelbach – Adam Tooze\nCrime and Punishment: How Does the World Community Sanction Putin’s Aggression? \n15:30 – Jannis Panagiotidis\nFlight from Ukraine\, post-Soviet migration and the future of the migration society \n16:15 – Nicole Deitelhoff\nBack to zero?

It is obvious that aesthetics plays a role in this: its historical source value lies in uncovering latencies\, the latent that changes in history. As a relay of the futures that are acute but unrealized in everything and everyone that is said\, the truth of art and literature does not lie in indeterminacy or infinity\, but is subject to a historical economy of latentness. Not everything is possible\, latent is not virtual. \n“The writer: he always says more and less than he thinks.

The price of freedom and democracy DESCRIPTION:52nd Römerberg Talks \nEnergy costs are rising\, inflation is increasing\, companies are going bankrupt and jobs are being lost. The economic consequences of the Russian war against Ukraine are also becoming increasingly noticeable in this country. How much loss of prosperity can our society bear before its inner peace is affected – and what will be left of the solidarity with Kiev? This should not only be of strategic interest to Vladimir Putin. European governments will also have to ask themselves this question if their sanctions come with a domestic political price tag. \nWhat should international law and transnational justice be worth to us? What sacrifices do we want to make for the protection of refugees and displaced people? What price do we have to pay for the defense of democracy and freedom? And how do we justify these costs to those who see their livelihoods threatened? \nModeration: Hadija Haruna-Oelker and Alf Mentzer \nProgram\n \n10:00\nAyse Asar\nWelcome by the State Secretary in the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art. \n10:15\nArmin Nassehi\nOn the benefits and disadvantages of the question of benefits and disadvantages – expectation management in unpredictable times\nbtn-mitschnitt-ansehen-circ@2x \n11:00\nMarina Weisband\nThe value of freedom \n11:45\nSerhij Zhadan\nLanguage after the war \n12:30\nMartin Schulze Wessel\nPutin’s history.

Trust and protest in democracy DESCRIPTION:Discussion series of the Frankfurt Citizens’ University \nDemocracy as an adaptive form of social coexistence thrives on criticism\, objection and protest. To be more precise: justified criticism\, well-founded objection\, publicly argued protest. It thrives on loyal opposition. However\, behind some protests lies something else: a destructive attitude that – while claiming the democratic right to freedom of expression and democratic protection rights – attacks the rule of law. On the other hand\, there are certainly triggers for a loss of trust in democratic institutions that provoke justified protest or even resistance. What is wrong with democracies if this resistance is often only willing or able to express itself in secret? What does this mean for citizens’ initiatives and their forms of protest? \nThe series of events with panel discussions and dialogical walks asks about forms of resistance in democracy\, under what conditions they arise and how they can be dealt with. \nFebruary 2\, 2023\, 7 p.m. \n  \nPanel participants \nDominik Herold\, co-founder of the citizens’ initiative “Mehr als wählen e.V.”\, Netzwerk Paulskirche\, Dr. Daniel Mullis\, Leibniz Institute Hessian Foundation for Peace and Conflict Research\, Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Sutterlüty\, Institute of Sociology/Goethe University (focus on family and youth sociology)\, Prof. Dr. Lisbeth Zimmermann\, Institute of Political Science/Goethe University (focus on international institutions and peace processes) \nModeration \nDr. Olaf Kaltenborn\, Head of PR and Communication at Goethe University URL:https://normativeorders.net/veranstaltungen/invisible-resistance-trust-and-protest-in-democracy/ LOCATION:Building “Normative Orders”\, EG.01\, Max-Horkheimer-Strasse 2\, Frankfurt am Main\, 60323\, Deutschland ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://normativeorders.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Plakat-Buerger-Universitaet-2023.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20230320T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20230320T200000 DTSTAMP:20260421T143205 CREATED:20250403T153118Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250409T142639Z UID:10000363-1679335200-1679342400@normativeorders.net SUMMARY:What is liberation? DESCRIPTION:At the opening event of our series of events on the significance of the Frankfurt School on March 20 at the MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST\, philosophy professor Christoph Menke (Goethe University\, Normative Orders) and journalist Cord Riechelmann from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung will talk about the topic “What is liberation?”. \nThe focus of the evening is Menke’s recently published book “Theory of Liberation” by Suhrkamp Verlag. In it\, the philosopher starts from the diagnosis that previous liberation movements have always led to new orders of dependency and shows how freedom and domination are inextricably interwoven. \nAbout the series\nTwo chairs\, one table\, spotlight on: What does the Frankfurt School have to say about the state of society today? On artistic freedom\, the future of capitalism\, peace and war. The discussion partners take a stand. The spoken word counts. The discussion partners communicate in a way that makes access easier. Reduction of complexity. Academic jargon should be avoided. Positions must be pronounced. Controversy is allowed. The guests do not have to come from Frankfurt\, but their work is trained in Frankfurt thinking. With this new series of talks\, experts take a stand on global conflicts as well as those that arise in their own urban space. From practical philosophy to the life sciences\, all schools of thought are welcome.

Ackerman: Postmodern Predicaments DESCRIPTION:Prof Bruce A. Ackerman (Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale) \nI. How Real Is Virtual Reality?\nII. The Genetic Lottery \nDuring the early twentieth century\, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty and Einstein Relativity discredited the rigid Newtonian “laws” that had served as the foundation of Enlightenment thought for more than two hundred years. A host of great thinkers and artists have struggled with the larger implications of this shattering scientific redefinition of the very nature of reality. The paintings of Braque and Picasso were efforts to liberate us from Newtonian certainties; so too were the writings of James Joyce and Marcel Proust. \nThese Lectures will focus on the response of French and German existentialists to the same question. I will be arguing that their ideas provide a crucial resource as we confront the challenges of constructing a meaningful life in a social world transformed by the high-tech revolution.\nMost obviously\, we are endlessly shifting from face-to-face encounters in the real world to internet encounters in virtual reality. But can the hours we spend on the internet make it even more difficult to construct a meaningful life for ourselves? \nLooking to the future\, it will increasingly be possible to create babies through genetic engineering\, rather than depending on females to do this work. How should we go about creating the next generation?

The public as a prohibited zone DESCRIPTION:  \nThe public sphere is currently in a poor state as a place for argumentative debate. In all camps\, the aim often seems to be to discredit dissenting opinions as unacceptable. What runs counter to one’s own convictions is branded as dangerous and should be banned from the public sphere\, from publishing programs\, museums or curricula\, some criticize. Others explain the recurring controversy as a process of developing a more just society. \nBut who is right? And is it really a question of what we are still allowed to do? In any case\, the ability to empathize with others no longer seems to be highly valued. Instead\, the arrogance of one’s own infallibility prevails in many places. And where public debate should actually take place\, it is canceled. \nAn occasion for the Römerberg Talks to ask how reason can still be established in public discourse when the guard rails are becoming ever narrower. What reasons are there for deeming certain opinions and ideas no longer worthy of discussion\, and when do good intentions turn into their self-righteous opposite\, into narrow-mindedness or even ignorance? Between wokeness and cancel culture\, where is the space for a constructive argumentative struggle for the best solutions to the pressing problems of the present for everyone? \nModeration: Hadija Haruna-Oelker and Alf Mentzer \n10:00 – Welcome \n10:15 – Adrian Daub\nReally true? Cancel culture and anti-woke policies as social phenomena \n11:00 – Sigrid Köhler and Wolfgang Ullrich\nIs that (still) allowed?
