  Prisons of Russia, Ukraine, France, Germany : Questioning Prison Violence

  Almost twenty years after the European Court of Human Rights affirmed the right to decent conditions of detention, has this aspiration for a violence-free sentence succeeded in counteracting operation modes usually described as inherent to prison? Has the European project for common minimum standards succeeded in overcoming national penological conceptions and professional cultures, in other words overcoming the historical inertia of prison? What resistance/adaptation strategies have deployed prison administrations in response to these reform injunctions? In view of these experiences, what are the ways out of prison violence? Can civil society actors force these transformations? In particular, can lawyers help maintaining vigilance? The Seminar is held as part of the European Lawyers' Day and will bring together former detainees, researchers, civil society leaders and lawyers to discuss the issue of prison violence as is manifest in Western (Germany, France) and Eastern former soviet (Russia, Ukraine) European prison systems.

  Solidarity at Work

  The term “solidarity” seems to have fallen out of theoretical fashion despite the fact that it has a long history of describing the shared struggles of those oppressed by economic or political power structures. This conference aims to explore the past, present and future of “solidarity at work” on both the conceptual and empirical level. Its focus is on the world of work, which it wants to investigate from a transnational perspective. How have the concepts, conceptions and categories of solidarity shaped labor and the labor movements of different countries? What about the divergent conceptual meanings and practices in these assorted contexts? How have power relations as well as people’s everyday life been changed by the various practices related to solidarity? How do technological and managerial changes help to shift ideas and practices of solidarity? Do we see new forms emerging? Who are the agents of “solidarity at work” and what are the concrete mechanisms involved? More broadly, what are the levers and brakes of solidarity in the workplace today?

  The politics of non-identity

  En France comme en Allemagne, la réception de la pensée d’Adorno semble actuellement renouvelée. La notion de non-identité, dont les significations sont encore loin d’être épuisées, sont plus particulièrement au centre de l’intérêt pour la pensée du théoricien critique. Elle est de plus en plus invoquée à la faveur de la montée en puissance des « identitaires » en Europe et plus généralement de l’inflation sémantique du vocabulaire de l’identité au sein d’un spectre politique très large. À partir de ce constat d'ordre politique, le Junges Forum propose d’interroger les ressources de la notion de non-identité tout comme ses possibles mobilisations sur des terrains multiples et interdisciplinaires.
