  Populisms in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century

  Since the 1990s, several political movements qualified as “populist” have emerged in Central and Eastern Europe, drawing the attention of political scientists. If we want to understand why these movements exercise such attraction and why they are so relentless in this space, it is necessary to cross the study of current politics with the analysis of long term developments.

  Transfers, circulation and Franco-German scholarly network in the 18th century

  Proposée il y a trente ans par Michel Espagne et Michael Werner, la notion de « transferts culturels » entendait dépasser le comparatisme, dont ils condamnaient le caractère statique et clos, pour envisager les transformations subies par tout bien culturel lors de son passage d'un pays A vers un pays B et les effets en retour sur le pays A de telles transformations. Si cette notion a suscité de nombreuses études, avant tout en histoire et littérature contemporaines, elle n’a jusqu'à présent que partiellement été appliquée au champ de l’histoire des savoirs, actuellement en plein renouvellement. Or les questions spécifiques liées à l’histoire des savoirs entraînent une reformulation de la problématique des transferts culturels.

  Trajectories of October 1917: Origins, reverberations and models of revolution

  Around the overarching theme of October 1917, we are seeking to foster dialogue between historians of 1917 who can make new contributions to the interpretation and analysis of that revolutionary movement in the Russian Empire, and scholars working on other areas and on later periods who also deal with 1917 in their analysis and interpretation of revolutionary movements. To bring all of this research together, we are holding a conference, from 19 to 21 October 2017, in which scholars from various disciplines and specialists of different areas are invited to participate.

  Repetition/s: Performance and Philosophy in Ljubljana

  Contemporary developments in the increasingly intertwined fields of philosophy and performance call for a renewed inquiry into the question of repetition. With its unique critique of ideology arising from a synthesis of German Idealism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the Ljubljana School (Dolar, Zupančič, Žižek et al.) continues to furnish important theorisations of repetition and performance as they pertain to subjectivity and the political. One of the primary aims of “Repetition/s” will be to investigate and develop the usefulness of the Ljubljana School’s theorisations for the emerging field of Performance Philosophy.
