    Governance of International Film Festivals: From Rules to Legitimacy

    The central issue addressed by this volume lies in the tension between the proclaimed “international” character of film festivals and the absence of a binding international legal framework regulating their activities, selection mechanisms, jury appointments, conflict-of-interest management, and transparency procedures. How do festivals construct their legitimacy? On what foundations is the credibility of their outcomes built?

    Political, cultural and intellectual South-North circulations in the post-Bandung era: towards a connected history of the Commonwealth

    By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

    Seeing the Other Empire

    British Travel Writing and Imperial Rivalry in Europe and the Near East, 1783–1914

    This conference aims to interrogate some of these British visions of rival empires in narrations published between 1783 and 1914. It would be interesting to analyse the practice of imagined colonialism, that is, how the British travellers cast a domineering gaze upon their imperial rivals when travelling in lands that were not colonies of the British crown.

    Constitutionalism Under Scrutiny: New Critical Voices

    Workshop at the University of Oxford, Spring 2026

    We invite scholars to contribute to a Special Issue or Symposium aimed at a top-ranking journal on the topic of opposition to constitutionalism. Constitutionalism is a global phenomenon, yet our understanding of its opposition outside North America is limited. Who if anyone is mobilising against it, and on what grounds? And is it confined to legal and academic circles? Is the opposition unified or fragmented? What precisely is contested, how (e.g. through legal mobilization, advocacy), and to what end and with what impact? We seek contributors who can innovate the theory and empirics of these consequential issues. Of special interest are contributions on opposition to constitutionalism in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Russia, as well as in Europe and the USA.

    Extractivist Enterprise and International Organizations (1919-1989)

    Workshop and Publication

    Corporate actors have played a hidden yet highly influential role in shaping the global order, often securing their interests in international organizations, such as the League of Nations and the United Nations. Extractive industries, which focus on natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and metals, including rare earths, were the bedrock of capitalism in the long twentieth century. How did they exert their influence within, through and against international organizations? What tools did they adopt to attain their goals at global metropoles such as Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Geneva, New York, and Santiago? Who challenged their efforts and who supported them and how? What effects did formal decolonization have on the role of extractive enterprise in these global spaces?

    Women and Europe – Interdisciplinary approaches, innovative prospects, new sources

    The conference “Women and Europe – Interdisciplinary approaches, innovative prospects, new sources” seeks to explore these multifarious challenges. While the role of women in Europe, considered from multiple perspectives, has begun to be studied more systematically by researchers, leading to a growing volume of scholarly literature since the mid-1970s, the subject nevertheless remains largely underexplored.

    The Royal Coffers. Approaches to European Monarchies and their financial behavior between 1650 and 1950

    This workshop aims to examine the intricate networks and economic practices of monarchical families and courts throughout Europe. In this context, we seek to examine how monarchies attained and preserved revenue and wealth, what practices they employed and if these practices were changed, adapted or abandoned over time. At the same time, we also seek to examine how such practices were perceived and debated by both individuals outside of the royal courts and the general public. The workshop will take place from the 4th to 6th of March 2026 in Darmstadt.

    Indigenous Peoples in Global Politics

    Monções: Revista de Relações Internacionais da UFGD

    This special issue aims to gather contributions from researchers studying indigenous peoples in international politics. We particularly – though not exclusively – encourage submissions on topics such as: How does the political action of indigenous peoples yield pressure on traditional concepts such as politics, sovereignty, international cooperation, and global governance? To what extent and through what mechanisms do these practices subvert or are co-opted by the hegemonic structures of the international system? In what ways do indigenous philosophies and worldviews challenge the colonial logics of the Anthropocene, extractivism, and the geopolitics of knowledge?

    Guerre, americanismo e antiamericanismo dal XX secolo all’attualità

    Diacronie. Studi di storia contemporanea

    Since its entry into World War 1 in 1917, the United States has played a pivotal international role across political, economic, cultural, and military arenas. This trajectory has been characterized by waves of both Americanization and anti-Americanism, with military interventions increasingly assuming a central role—albeit with notable distinctions. The United States has been consistently engaged in overseas operations. This call for papers seeks to explore the complex relationship between wars, Americanism, and anti-Americanism from the 20th century to the present.
