Scaling. What happens when we scale things up or down?
Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018
The 2018 session will be devoted to the investigation of scale and scaling as operative concepts for the analysis of media. What happens when we scale? Does anything really change? Can scaling ever impact the inner blueprint of an object? Are there laws of scaling? Or does scaling resist any attempt at calculability, such that, to investigate it, we can only ever look at individual events of scaling? As a media practice, scaling is widely used. But, in contrast to the ubiquity of operations, scaling is hardly ever viewed on its own terms as a basic concept of media analysis. The Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018 will attempt to map out approaches to scaling as a basic media-analytical tool.

Staging Europe – Europe on stage
Conference in the frame of "Creation & Crisis" project / EUROPA Alliance
Through what kinds of narrations, symbols and images do the performing arts represent Europe today? How do the different conceptions of Europe coexist on stage? Does the artistic confrontation with Europe and its boundaries contribute to a redefinition of this “territory” or “space”? Is the mediation of European issues via the theatre able to reinforce political consciousness? Can it become the starting point for a new form of social cohesion? What kind of linguistic policy can best respond to the needs of the performing arts? How can we approach the special challenge of multilingual theatre? What are the resemblances and what are the differences between the scientific and the artistic approaches to the broad field that is “Europe”? What could be the modes of cooperation between artists and academics in terms of research, of teaching and transmission at a European level? What are the perspectives for such methodological dialogue?

Solidarity: thinking and practice - France, Germany, Europe and the world, 19th and 20th century
L’objectif du colloque organisé conjointement par le Comité franco-allemand des historiennes et historiens des XIXe et XXe siècles et l’université de Strasbourg est de mettre en valeur l’histoire de la pensée et de la pratique solidaire à l’époque contemporaine, dans un espace national comme transnational. Dans quelle mesure y-a-t-il eu des convergences, des divergences ou des interactions dans l’évolution des pensées et des pratiques de solidarité en France et en Allemagne, mais aussi en Europe et dans le monde ? Qu’en est-il des paradoxes ou des contradictions dans le débat sur la solidarité ?

The poetry of Wolfgang Hilbig: "A dream book of modernity"?
« Gedichte sind für mich die Essenzen literarischer Arbeit », déclare Wolfgang Hilbig en 1994 dans un entretien avec Harro Zimmermann. Ce colloque sera la première manifestation scientifique consacrée exclusivement à l'œuvre poétique de Wolfgang Hilbig. Il a pour ambition de commencer à combler une lacune de la recherche en sondant l'un des paradoxes dans lequel cette œuvre s'inscrit d'emblée : incarnant aux yeux de son auteur l'essence de sa / la littérature, la poésie est en même temps la partie la moins étudiée de son œuvre.

By all measures, Germany played an overwhelming role in the development of philology and linguistics during the 19th century. This ascendancy rests on the transmission to other national academies of theoretical constructs and views, methods and institutional practices. On the other hand, German philological and linguistic ideas, methods and institutions were not constituted in isolation from the rest of the world : Transfers to the German-speaking world must also be taken into account.

Le colloque entend intensifier le dialogue entre chercheurs français et allemands spécialistes de la Première Guerre mondiale et des cultures mémorielles, tant en littérature qu'en art, qui en sont issues. Les spécialistes des faits historiques, littéraires, culturels et sociaux s'intéresseront ainsi, sous l'angle d'une approche comparée, à l'année 1917 et aux initiatives de paix qui s'y déployèrent. Ce faisant, il s'agira de remplacer le manichéisme d'une historiographie nationale par une approche franco-allemande au coeur de laquelle l'aspiration à une sortie de guerre non corrélée à une victoire militaire sera observée dans toute sa dimension historique. Parallèlement, il s'agit, au cours d'une année commémorative 2017, de déplacer le regard vers la thématique des sorties de guerre conçue sous un angle interdisciplinaire convoquant les différentes disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales partageant une même historicité à croiser leurs approches au profit de l'étude d'un phénomène pluridimensionnel.
