"Potestas" und "dominium" in der politischen Theorie des späten 13. und frühen 14. Jahrhunderts
Cette conférence de trois jours, organisée à la Goethe-Universität de Francfort par le Teilprojekt A 04 du Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) 1095 « Schwächediskurse und Resourcenregime », et qui réunit des spécialistes internationaux de la pensée politique médiévale est dédiée à l'étude de deux concepts clés de la théorie politique en langue latine, à savoir « potestas » et « dominium ». Les contributions qui y seront présentées s'intéresseront à des questions telles que la légitimation du pouvoir politique, la naturalité de la société politique et du pouvoir politique ou encore le spécificité de la communauté politique par rapport à d'autres communautés humaines

Heraldry in Medieval and Early Modern State-Rooms
Towards a Typology of Heraldic Programmes in Spaces of Self-Representation
Heraldry was an ubiquitous element of state-rooms. Whether in palaces of kings and princes, castles of noblemen, residences of patricians, city halls or in cathedral chapters, heraldic display was a crucial element in the visual programme of these spaces. Despite its omnipresence, however, heraldic display in state-rooms remains largely understudied so far. This workshop aims to explore these heraldic programmes in state-rooms in medieval and early modern Europe and to suggest an initial typology of this phenomenon.

Identity and the challenge of interdisciplinarity
Study days for young Franco-German researchers
Aujourd’hui, les réflexions autour des « enjeux identitaires » sont au cœur de l’actualité politico-médiatique. Tandis que d’aucuns craignent un « repli identitaire » créateur de communautarismes, d’autres suggèrent que la création d’une identité européenne favoriserait l’intégration. Or, si chaque discipline s’est approprié la notion, l’usage qui en est fait paraît parfois hermétique. Prenant acte de la relative imperméabilité des frontières disciplinaires entre sciences sociales, linguistique et littérature, ces journées d’études se proposent de réinterroger le concept d’identité en convoquant simultanément des outils communs à l’ensemble des disciplines et aux deux traditions scientifiques concernées.

Por uma Ciência Humboldtiana entre Polônia, Brasil e Alemanha
Um simpósio transareal
O evento dedica-se a Alexander von Humboldt, bem como aos contextos e circunstâncias de uma Ciência Humboldtiana entre Polônia, Brasil e Alemanha. O nome Humboldt evoca aqui tanto o objeto partilhado entre diversos trabalhos no âmbito das ciências da cultura, quanto o modelo de uma ciência transdisciplinar e transareal. Grupos de pesquisa que assumem para si o desafio transareal precisam contar não apenas com a competência intercultural dos pesquisadores e pesquisadoras em particular, mas também com a efetiva colaboração entre instituições, para além do intercâmbio bilateral.

Conflict Groups and Disputatio
Intra- and Extra-Academic Lines of Conflict around the Parisian University, c. 1300
Du 10 au 11 décembre 2015, aura lieu l’atelier initial d’un nouveau projet de recherche qui se propose d’étudier la genèse de concepts et pratiques scolastiques de la décision ainsi que leur impact sur les processus de décision à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de l’université médiévale. L’atelier initial sera centré sur un aspect fondamental de ce champ de recherche. Nous nous pencherons sur les relations entre une pratique universitaire de décision – la disputatio – et les conflits qui marquent le monde extra-universitaire vers 1300. Il s’agira donc d’analyser, à travers l’étude de cette pratique universitaire, l’entrecroisement de différents lignes de conflits qui – comme la confrontation entre Philippe IV et Boniface VIII – ne sont pas nécessairement scientifiques.

Evacuations in Franco-German border spaces during the Second World War
Les évacuations ont constitué une expérience centrale de la population civile durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Peu prises en considération jusqu’à présent par la recherche, les évacuations de grande envergure à la frontière franco-allemande ont été étudiées pour la première fois dans leur ensemble et dans une perspective comparative par des historiens des universités de la Sarre, de Paris-Sorbonne, de Bochum et de Tübingen. Les résultats de ce projet de recherche binational seront présentés, interprétés et discutés lors d’un colloque final les 17-19 septembre. Ce colloque se tiendra à Sarrebruck en collaboration avec la fondation Demokratie Saarland.

Since rulers of the Imperial Roman Period and the Early Middle Ages occupied the highest (secular) position, individuals who exerted influence on them enjoyed a great extent of power. As a consequence, there was bitter rivalry between the various agents and much thinking about legitimate and illegitimate influence. These exercises and concepts of personal influence are the topic of a new Emmy-Noether junior research group, which is offering two PhD positions.

Security Provision in West Asia and North Africa in times of Social and Political Change
Amongst the various demands of the thousands of people who took to the streets in West Asia and North Africa since late 2010, one common theme has been an end of arbitrary police violence and corruption. Throughout the uprisings and in an attempt to contain the growing insecurity, people started policing in the absence of police. Prominent examples are the liğān šaᶜbiya, the popular committees, in Egypt and in a different shape and outreach in Syria or in Yemen. Yet even before the uprisings, non-state actors have policed territory in spaces of limited statehood, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, or the People’s Protection Units in Syrian Kurdistan. This workshop aims at conceptualizing the ambivalent relationships in comparative perspective, addressing the different ways in which boundaries and relations between military, police and civilian worlds are reshaped today.

Criminal Law and Emotions in European Legal Cultures
From the 16th Century to the Present
This two-day conference seeks to historicize the relationship between law and emotions, focusing on the period from the sixteenth century to the present. It aims to ask how legal definitions, categorizations and judgments were influenced by, and themselves influenced, moral and social codes; religious and ideological norms; scientific and medical expertise; and perceptions of the body, gender, age, social status. By examining the period between the sixteenth century and the present day, this conference also seeks to challenge and problematize the demarcation between the early modern and the modern period, looking at patterns and continuities, as well as points of fissure and change, in the relationship between law and emotions.
