SUMMARY:Coming to terms with colonial violence - possibilities of postcolonial politics of remembrance
DESCRIPTION:For a very long time\, European countries suppressed or even legitimized their own colonial history instead of dealing with its consequences in public. In the meantime\, however\, looted art\, monuments and street names are just as much the subject of public debate as whitewashing narratives of the colonial past. As a result\, truth commissions have been set up to come to terms with colonial violence. In 2021\, Germany officially apologized for its role in the murder of thousands of Herero and Nama\, Belgium asked for an apology for its role in the murder of Patrice Lumumba\, Italy for the colonial attacks on Libya – to name just a few examples. Possibilities for rehabilitation\, compensation and restitution are being discussed politically. So far\, however\, disputes about who should be liable for how long and for what share of history have mainly taken place within the framework of national politics. A European exchange should serve to discuss Europe’s historical responsibility for colonial violence and its ongoing consequences at EU level.       \nProgram\nGreeting\nLucia Puttrich\nHessian Minister for Federal and European Affairs \nDr. Stefan Kroll\nPRIF – Leibniz Institute for Peace and Conflict Research \nImpulse\nDr. Sabine Mannitz\nPRIF – Leibniz Institute for Peace and Conflict Research / Research Centre “Transformations of Political Violence” (TraCe) \nPanel discussion\nDr. Sabine Mannitz\n\nSalima Yenbou\nMember of the European Parliament \nLaura Gaëlle Ganza\nSociocultural worker / Independent consultant \nModeration: Alexander Göbel\, freelance journalist \nThe event will be simultaneously interpreted (English/German). \nThe event takes place both analog and digitally. \nFollow the event on the YouTube channelchannel Hessen in Berlin and Europe.

SUMMARY:#54 Hear the signals! The unstoppable rise of right-wing extremism
DESCRIPTION:54th Römerberg Talks \nThere seems to be no end to the success of far-right parties – both in Europe and in Germany. They are also increasingly displacing the Christian democratic and moderate conservative (popular) parties\n. Anti-democratic\, historical revisionist\, racist and anti-Semitic ideas are being formulated with a shamelessness that has immunized itself against criticism. And the breaking of taboos is celebrated as a populist heroic deed. The extreme right denies facts\, stages itself as a victim and plays on its hostility to the constitution. How did it come to this?      \nWho is failing here: the parties\, the media\, society? What are effective strategies against right-wing instrumentalization and violence? Who is still protecting society from falling into a new totalitarianism? Is democracy institutionally secure enough to effectively counter radicalization in politics and society? What options does civil society have to defend the values of the Basic Law?     \nModeration: Hadija Haruna-Oelker and Alf Mentzer \nThe event is open to the public. Admission is free.  \n  \nProgram: \n10.00 a.m.\nWelcome\nIna Hartwig\nHead of the Department of Culture and Science of the City of Frankfurt am Main \n10.15 a.m.\nMaximilian Steinbeis\nHow anti-democrats could abolish democracy \n11.15 a.m.\nPatrick Bahners\nLines of continuity of German right-wing nationalism \n12.15 p.m.\nHanna Pfeifer & Andreas Zick\nHow could this happen – How more than the sayable shifted to the right \n1.00 p.m.\nLunch break \n2.00 p.m.\nNadia Zaboura & Max Czollek\nBetween panic and reconciliation theater. How to deal with the AfD (in the media)?  \n3.00 p.m.\nMichel Friedman\nNever again is now – attitude without ifs and buts? \n16.00 hrs\nStephan Anpalagan\nStruggle and longing in the middle of society \n17.00 hrs\nEnd \nOrganizer:\nRömerberggespräche e.V. in cooperation with the “Normative Orders” research center at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and other partners

SUMMARY:Capitalism without democracy
DESCRIPTION:Book presentation \nQuinn Slobodian presents his new book “Capitalism without Democracy” (lecture in English) \nAbout the book: According to investor Peter Thiel in 2009\, freedom and democracy are no longer compatible. Those who love freedom must therefore try to escape politics in all its forms. Libertarians could seek refuge in cyberspace\, in outer space and on the open sea. This may sound blown away\, but it is part of a decades-old tradition of radical market ideas: Thinkers such as Milton Friedman were enthusiastic about Hong Kong\, which was still under British suzerainty; Margaret Thatcher dreamed of a Singapore on the Thames.   \nIn Globalists\, Quinn Slobodian dealt with attempts to remove economic issues from democratic decision-making\, for example by transferring them to international organizations. Capitalism without Democracy is now about a different solution to the problem Thiel deplores: breaking up the world into tax havens\, private cities or micronations. Slobodian takes us on a fascinating journey through the world of neoliberal utopias. It takes us to Dubai and Liechtenstein\, to civil war-torn Somalia and to Elon Musk’s spaceport in Texas. And it broadens our view of a possible future that should worry us.     \nFurther information about the book: Here… \nOrganizer:\nAn event of the Heisenberg Professorship for Political Science with a focus on Political Theory\, History of Ideas and Theories of Economics in cooperation with the research initiative “ConTrust – Trust in Conflict” at the Research Center “Normative Orders”

SUMMARY:Relationality of human dignity. On the status of people with cognitive impairments in terms of justice theory
DESCRIPTION:Book lɔ:ntʃ \nWith: Dr. Regina Schidel (member of the research initiative ConTrut at the Research Center “Normative Orders” at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main) \nCampus Publishing 2023 \nAll people in our society should be considered equal in a fundamental sense. Discrimination structures that restrict people’s value and participation undermine this normative principle. Regina Schidel analyzes the discriminatory form of ableism\, i.e. the discrimination of people with cognitive impairments\, from a philosophical and socio-theoretical perspective. Based on an innovative interpretation of the concept of human dignity\, she shows why we owe respect to all people as inhabitants of a divided world. This leads to radical demands on how we should transform the social\, legal and political space.     \nPlease register at office@normativeorders.net. \nFurther information on the event series: Here… \nFurther information about the book: Here…

SUMMARY:Restoring Ray: JALSAGHAR and the geo-politics of preserving cinema - Amrita Biswas (Frankurt)
DESCRIPTION:Who creates and preserves the canon of cinema? If you follow the material history of Satyajit Ray’s JALSAGHAR\, which tells the story of the downfall of a music-obsessed landowner\, you come across a global power structure for archiving\, preserving and restoring films. Using the journey around the world of the camera negative\, the “original” of the film\, as a guide\, it can be shown that the preservation of film heritage in Ray’s case is a highly political process characterized by considerable power imbalances.   \nAmrita Biswas is a doctoral candidate in the DFG Research Training Group “Configurations of Film” at Goethe University Frankfurt. \nFilm: JALSAGHAR (The Music Room)\, India 1958\, 94 min.

SUMMARY:The outmoded director: Satyajit Ray's urban films and the crisis of historicism - Rochona Majumdar (Chicago)
DESCRIPTION:Reviled by contemporaries as apolitical\, Satyajit Ray’s films nevertheless open up radically new ways of theoretically conceptualizing post-colonial presents and futures. JANA ARANYA (The Mediator) shows the extent to which historiography and\, in particular\, historians’ reflections on temporality are anticipated in Ray’s films and also enriched by them.  \nRochona Majumdar is a professor in the Department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations and Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago. \nFilm: JANA ARANYA (The Mediator)\, India 1975\, 131 min.

SUMMARY:Beyond the novel: Kanchenjungha at the crossroads - Parichay Patra (Jodhpur)
DESCRIPTION:“This film could not have been a novel…”: this is how Satyajit Ray spoke about KANCHENJUNGHA from 1962\, which tells a family story from a summer retreat in Darjeeling and was only lukewarmly received in India and beyond. In light of the colonial legacy and the complex modernity of the Indian novel\, the strangely reserved reception that the film received can be attributed to its rejection of the novelistic and its borrowings from the transnational cinema of the 1960s.  \nParichay Patra teaches at the School of Liberal Arts and Indian Institute of Technology in Jodhpur\, India. \nFilm: KANCHENJUNGHA \, India 1962\, 97 min.

SUMMARY:Europe's role in the world: A foreign policy guided by values in the light of global crisis management
DESCRIPTION:The European Union is the result of a large number of successfully overcome crises. Having started out as a peace project\, the EU is now an important player for peace\, security and sustainability in the world. It is not only bound by its fundamental values in its internal actions; human rights\, the rule of law and democracy are also guiding principles for its foreign policy. The current wars and crises in the world challenge the EU to strengthen the cornerstones of its value-based foreign and security policy. What does a value-based foreign policy mean for the reorganization of European security after the Russian attack on Ukraine or the Hamas massacres in Israel? What strategies does the EU have towards autocracies and their alliances that reject European values? How can European values be strengthened and\, if necessary\, renewed in the face of these challenges?       \nProgram\nGreeting\nFriedrich von Heusinger\nHead of the Representation of the State of Hesse to the EU\nDr. Stefan Kroll\nPRIF – Leibniz Institute for Peace and Conflict Research \nImpulse\nProf. Dr. Nicole Deitelhoff\nPRIF – Leibniz Institute for Peace and Conflict Research\, Research Center “Normative Orders” \nPanel discussion\nProf. Dr. Nicole Deitelhoff\nHannah Neumann\nMember of the European Parliament\nProf. Dr. Frank Hoffmeister\nDirector of the European External Action Service \nModeration\nRebecca C.

SUMMARY:Research in the Age of Reaction
DESCRIPTION:ConTrust Research seminar “India as Method: Challenges and Perspectives in the Study of Media and Politics in Contemporary South Asia” \nWith S. V. Srinivas \nThe rapid transformation of films into media content in the 21st century is coeval with the proliferation of screens\, and sites of engagement with moving images. Interestingly\, the media ecology in which films are produced and consumed has thrust post-celluloid cinema into political battles whose scale is puzzling\, considering the decline in theatrical viewing since the 1990s. In this talk I draw attention to ‘controversies’ surrounding films-specific sequences or lines\, to be more precise-over the past decade or so to suggest that we are witnessing the emergence of a public that actively reacts to films and other texts. The reaction is occasionally violent\, often performative and typically involves the discovery of coded messages hidden in texts. I argue that the reactive public is a useful point of entry into the discussion of the mediatization of everyday life and politics in India.     \nS.V. Srinivas is a Professor at the School of Arts and Sciences\, Azim Premji University\, Bangalore. He works on the intersections between popular culture and mass politics in India. He is author of two books on film star politicians of South India: Megastar (Oxford University Press\, 2009) and Politics as Performance (Permanent Black\, 2013).   \n  \nPresented by:\nGraduate Research Training Group “Configurations of Film”\, Institute for Theatre\, Film and Media Studies (TFM) at Goethe University and Research Initiative “ConTrust: Trust in Conflict – Political Life under Conditions of Uncertainty” at the Research Centre Normative Orders

SUMMARY:Trust in Digital Infrastructures - Global Perspectives\, Histories\, and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Workshop \nModern societies are critically dependent on digital infrastructure (Parks & Starosielski 2015)\, and this is especially evident when infrastructure fails. But beyond situations of outage\, infrastructures appear to us to be “as ordinary and unremarkable to us as trees\, daylight\, and dirt” (Edwards 2002). Because of their size and scale\, they are also largely invisible and unaccountable. To act confidently in such a “middle ground between knowledge and non-knowledge” (Simmel 1922) requires infrastructural trust. The tension between the extreme dependence on infrastructures and the taken-for-granted nature of infrastructures points to forms of impersonal or generalized trust that straddle these two sides. Infrastructural trust appears as something that cannot simply be achieved or attained\, but rather as part of a conflictual “set of slowly emerging rules\, standards and networks of communication” (Breckenridge 2014) that over time generate potentials for the exercise of political power.      \nAccording to infrastructure studies\, something becomes an infrastructure when a conflict-laden process is transformed into a working agreement that everyone can agree on. This socio-material consensus eventually “sinks into the background” and turns a problem into a “transparent” (Star & Ruhleder 1996) solution\, ready to hand. Infrastructure can then function as a transparent medium “that facilitates and shapes modes of mediation” within societies (Hoof & Boell 2019; Boell & Hoof 2020). Examples include conflicts over technological standards\, the introduction and regulation of digital platforms\, or the so-called digitization of public administration. Once established\, in order to retain its status as a medium\, infrastructure becomes a site of constant “maintenance and repair that keeps modern societies going” (Graham & Thrift 2007). From this perspective\, infrastructures are less technological than “human infrastructures” (Lee\, Dorish\, Mark 2006) because they are always tied to membership in a particular community of practice (Bowker & Star 1999).    \nFocusing on the historical and socio-material dimension of infrastructures\, the workshop will consider different forms of trust and misleading trust in infrastructures. What is the justification for infrastructural trust (Forst 2022)\, which is not only based on interpersonal relations\, but is also mediated by institutional structures? Can the deployment\, maintenance\, and regulation of infrastructure be understood as a series of conflicts and negotiations that stabilize forms of “second-order institutional trust” (Warren 2018)? What happens to infrastructural solutions tied to Western communities of practice as they circulate on a global scale? In what ways does infrastructural (mis)trust enable or prevent cultural\, social\, and economic activity (Larkin 2008)? How does the “logistical imagination” (Hockenberry et al.\, 2021) of digital media infrastructure relate to the signaling of trust?      \nBibliography: \nBoell\, Sebastian K.\, and Florian Hoof (2020) “Accounting for Information Infrastructure as Medium for Organizational Change.” Accounting History Review\, 30(1)\, 45-68.\nBowker Geoffrey\, and Susan Leigh Star (1999) Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences.
