Prime Minister and Patron : Heinrich Count von Brühl (1700-1763)

International Conference on the 250th anniversary of the death of Heinrich Count Brühl

The 250^th anniversary of the death of Heinrich Count von Brühl will be taken as an opportunity to assess the field of research on this controversial valued patron and collector, and to identify further areas of investigation. A central point of inquiry of this conference is Brühl’s patronage: Brühl built up not only numerous collections, but was also an important patron for domestic and foreign painters, sculptors and architects. Brühl used a network of specialized art agents and artists for internationally competitive extension and development of its own and the court collections. The aim of this conference will be to carry out a comparative and synthetic analysis of both unpublished sources and material that has not yet been systematically considered.

On the dynamics of production (Distraction/Interference – Resistance/Accident)

In ordinary terms, the word production refers to an act of creation and its result, or to a process at the end of which there is a materialisation of some kind, or to the act of making something present. By productively interfering with this common idea of productionwe would like to work towards establishing different ways of thinking about this concept.

Distraction and Interference as well as Resistance and Accident are exemplary categories of the unexpected moments that may or may not take place in the course of production. They remind us that production cannot be reduced to the momentum of "achieving a product". Rather, these categories help to reveal the physical presence of those who produce, the materiality of the objects involved and the unforeseen effects of the "product". Furthermore, they allow us to question the alleged linearity of the processes that form part of production. Thereby, Distraction, Interference, Resistance and Accident make us aware to what extent production involves a "lived" and "living" tension between the producer and what is being produced, between the subject and the world.

Practices of critique

International Graduate Conference

Practices of critique are intertwined with normative orders in manifold ways. They contain and refer reflexively to critical contentions, and they can enable as well as suppress critique. In this context it is essential to reconstruct the theoretical foundations of critique and power structures as well the practices in which they are instantiated. Three aspects are crucial: firstly concrete forms of power and their application, which always emerge from a tension between normative claims and solidified systems of rule; secondly the purview of justice as the foundation for critical rationale; thirdly the aspect of aesthetic representation. Such themes shall be addressed from multidisciplinary perspectives at the international graduate conference “Practices of Critique” on 5-7 December 2013.

Paternity at the end of the Middle Ages and early Modern period, 14th-16th century: forms and reforms?

Die Vaterschaft im Spätmittelalter und in der Frühen Neuzeit (14.-16. Jahrhundert): Formen, Reformen?

Cette journée d’études portera sur l’histoire de la paternité en Allemagne, en Suisse et en Italie entre le XIV^e siècle et le XVI^e siècle, et sur l’articulation possible entre l’évolution des formes de la paternité et les réformes du temps. En partant de l’étude de sources variées (textes littéraires, livres de famille, images, textes doctrinaux, testaments, etc.) émanant de milieux divers (clercs, patriciens, marchands, lettrés, etc.), on proposera de s’interroger sur la redéfinition des droits et des devoirs des pères, sur les formes de la transmission, sur les mots et les images de la paternité, comme sur les représentations de la masculinité et de la féminité que ces formes de la paternité mettent en jeu.

Linguistic ideologies in the written press: the example of Romance languages

Le Centre d’analyse et de traitement informatique du français québécois (Catifq) de l’Université de Sherbrooke et la Chaire de linguistique romane de l’Universität Augsburg organisent en octobre 2013 un colloque international consacré aux idéologies linguistiques véhiculées dans la presse écrite et au rôle que les journaux jouent dans le processus de standardisation. L’objectif du colloque est de réunir notamment des spécialistes qui s’intéressent à ces questions dans le domaine des langues romanes (le français, l’italien et l’espagnol). Cette rencontre devrait ainsi permettre de mieux faire ressortir les particularités des différentes traditions « nationales » et, dans le même temps, de dégager les lignes de force qui caractérisent le rôle des médias écrits en général.
