    Resistance to Order and Authority (ROAR)

    CEU/ELTE/Masaryk PhD Conference 2020

    Religion has served to legitimize political power, but it has also been a basis for resistance against order and authority. Be it the Maccabean revolt, Gandhi's practice of non-violence resistance, contemporary neo-pagan religions, or the counter-system movements portrayed by Mark Juergensmeyer in his 2001 book Terror in the Mind of God, religious beliefs have motivated people to reject social order that they deem as unjust, and possibly rise against it. Even in today’s secularized societies, religion has served as the ground for social movements and manifestations addressing pressing socioeconomic threats such as climate change, social inequality, authoritarian governments and minority discrimination. These observations have encouraged new trends in scholarly debate, especially regarding the emergence of alternative religious ideas and rituals in modern societies.  old and new religious convictions legitimized various resistance movements among different communities? Which causes have influenced violent mobilizations against established social order, non-violent struggle, or the establishment of alternative community frameworks? What can these movements and ideas tell us about the role that religion plays today both in secularized and non-secularized societies?

    La sphère publique et les dimensions politiques de l'espace

    Compte tenu des enjeux et défis socio-économiques et politiques auxquels sont confrontés le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique du Nord (MENA) et les régions subsahariennes, « l'espace public » et la « sphère publique » se trouvent de plus en plus au centre des débats et recherches académiques dans diverses disciplines. Le concept de la « sphère publique » a été conçu comme faisant partie de l’interaction, d’abord, d'un espace physique mettant en exergue des relations sociales dans un lieu physique concret (espace public) et, d’autre part, l’association de facteurs socio-économiques contribuant à l’évolution du débat politique (sphère publique). L’objectif de cette conférence est d’offrir un lieu de débats autour des problématiques d’ordre sociales, économiques, et politiques via les perspectives de la sphère publique, les différents aspects de configurations spatiales, la politique de l’espace, et aussi autour des contre-publics ou des arènes discursives parallèles telles qu’elles étaient évoquées par Nancy Fraser.

    Artistic activism and the globalization of the art scene

    Theory, practice, paradigm and circulation

    This conference explores the theory, practices, paradigms and circulation of artistic activism in international perspective. It aims at examining the resurgence and development of artistic productions which revive agitational practices. Artistic activism or "artivism" questions consensual discourses on the neutrality of art and aesthetics. Taking into account the need for a global approach to the phenomenon, and the exploration of its most diverse forms and concepts, this conference aims to contribute to the study of arts activism since the 1990s.

    Stages of Utopia and Dissent, 50 years on...

    15 May 1968: the Odeon theatre in Paris is occupied by students and becomes the insurgent headquarters where every night militants recount the days' action in occupied factories to an audience of people camping in the auditorium. Youth rebellion was never as mythologised as that of the French students’ fight against institutional oppression. The effects were felt across the Channel, too – but the nature of those effects was, and remains, disputed. 50 years on… where are we? What remains of autogestion and emancipatory education? What remains of theatre inventiveness and sedition? What remains of a need for participatory audiences? What remains of utopia and dissent?

    Marx, Semiotics and Political Praxis

    This special issue of Open Cultural Studies will return to the work of Karl Marx to reflect on and engage with his coherent articulation of words and their use, of words and actions, and of the intellectual and the political. The coherence of his discourse and praxis offers tools to think through, if not seek to transform, the alienated semiotic landscape of our times as described by the Frankfurt school philosopheers, Jean Baudrillard, Frederic Jameson, Sloterdijk and Slavoj Žižek. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, in this special issue we want to honour his 11th Thesis on Feuerbach: "philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."

    Public Space Democracy

    International Study Group on New Forms of Public Agency - PubliCdemoS

    Public space is the place for assembly, the hub of democracy as well as the manifestation of power and (dis)empowerment of persons. PubliCdemoS Project explores the ways in which new forms of public agency extend politics to everyday life experiences by avenues of artistic expressions and aesthetic forms. The core aim of this project is to understand new politics of performative citizenship and public (un)making in multicultural settings.

    Finding Democracy in Music

    For a century and more musicians have sought to relate their practices to the values of democracy. But political theory teaches that democracy is a highly contested category. This symposium aims to interrogate claims for the “democratic” nature of music.

    Protest in French and Francophone Arts and Culture

    Society for French Studies Postgraduate Conference 2016

    Protest is an intrinsic part of human culture, which enables subjects to express their dissatisfaction with existing social structures and hegemonic hierarchies of power. Protests have occurred across time periods and contexts, and have taken numerous different forms, ranging from personal expressions of discontent to united movements for revolutionary change. Protests can be individual or collective, personal or political, spontaneous or carefully planned, but they are generally orientated towards destabilising the status quo and establishing new modes of existence. Over the ages, political, social and cultural protests have successfully toppled authoritarian regimes, exposed and confronted dominant imbalances of power, and ameliorated conditions for disenfranchised members of society.

    When Books and Art Hurt

    Censorship, Emotions and Cultural Regulation in South Asia

    This workshop aims at exploring issues of literary and artistic censorship in South Asia (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) by focusing on the way anticipated "hurt" often justifies the policing and regulation of the artistic sphere (cinema, visual arts, literature). Our point of departure is, in the words of Arjun Appadurai, the observation that culture is today the field "where fantasies of purity, authenticity, borders and security can be enacted" and that the same censors patrol the boundaries of politics and aesthetics (Coetzee). In the Indian subcontinent "hurt feelings" are often reactivated or cultivated, staged and mass-mediatised to claim recognition and legitimacy in the public sphere, to require compensation or "redressal". Many artists, writers and academics point to a politics of ultra-sensitivity and a thriving "marketplace of outrage". Our objective in this workshop is to question the vocabulary, topicality and tangibility of "hurt" in the public sphere on these issues of artistic regulation in South Asia, and to understand what it means to say that words or images wound.

    Changing the Tune : musiques populaires et politique au XXIe siècle

    De la chute du communisme au Printemps arabe

    Le champ d’étude dédié aux musiques populaires a abondamment exploré la question politique. S’y est développée une tradition, féconde, d’analyse des rapports entre musique et pouvoir, des pratiques symboliques par lesquelles passe l’affirmation identitaire des subcultures (cultural, gender, postcolonial studies), ainsi que de la politisation des musiques populaires, depuis les mouvements syndicaux du XIXe siècle jusqu’aux héritiers de la contre-culture des années 1960. En revanche, rares sont les auteurs à s’être penchés sur les effets du nouveau contexte géopolitique et technologique de la fin du XXe et du début du XXIe siècles. Les transformations géopolitiques, culturelles et technologiques suivant la chute du bloc soviétique, l’accélération de la mondialisation, l’avènement de l’ère numérique et d’internet ou, plus récemment encore, les bouleversements politiques tels que le Printemps arabe et les différentes déclinaisons du mouvement « Occupy », par exemple, sont encore trop timidement étudiés par les chercheurs. Depuis plus de vingt ans désormais, les musiques populaires ont recomposé les formes de leur engagement en puisant dans la diversité du matériau qu’offrent un long héritage tout autant que ce nouvel environnement. C’est sur ces nouveaux usages, pratiques et significations politiques que nous souhaitons réfléchir à l’occasion de cette conférence internationale.

    Musiques et contre-culture(s). Le rock, les sixties, les États-Unis et au-delà

    Ce numéro de Volume ! La revue des musiques populaires s’intéressera, par le détour de la musique, aux contre-cultures des années 1960 et au-dela – à ce mouvement hétérogène, son identité éclatée, sa circulation planétaire, ses origines, son influence et ses héritages. Nous invitons ainsi les chercheurs à étudier le phénomène de « la contre-culture » musicale mais aussi à en interroger la définition esthétique, culturelle, politique, historique et chronologique : que fut la contre-culture, et comment la musique l’a cimentée ? qu’est-ce qui l’identifie non seulement spécifiquement dans les années 1960-1970, mais aussi plus généralement au-delà : ses caractéristiques « formelles » (caractéristiques musicales, styles), son idéologie (militantisme, modes de vie) ou ce à quoi elle s’oppose (le système, les « valeurs américaines traditionnelles », la guerre, le capitalisme) ?

    Reverse-Exoticism: Writing Practices, Alternative Voices and Heritagization

    This is a call for papers for a Special Interest Panel inclued in the Tourism and Seductions of Difference Conference (Lisbon, Portugal, 10-12 Sept 2010) directed by Cyril Isnart (Cidehus-Universidade de Évora) and Ema Pires (Cria-Iscte and Univ. de Évora). While academics have studied ‘heritage’ mainly in terms of a national or elite construction, this panel is interested in the increasingly loud claims to ‘heritage’ emanating from minorities and small social groups. Evoking Michel De Certeau (1988), our emphasis here is on analysing ‘scriptural practices’, both as cultural apparatus and means of production and objectification of minorities’ alternative voices.
