  Call for papers - Thought

  Between Life and Existence. Nietzsche and French Existentialism

  Our symposium therefore aims to close this research gap by including all relevant disciplines (philosophy, literary studies, history of ideas ...). Contributions can deal with biographical aspects of the subject (to what extent did the French existentialists really read Nietzsche?), comparisons of the respective philosophies, or with questions pertaining to the topicality of the theses and matters discussed. We endeavor to cover the travel and accommodation costs for the speakers, but cannot guarantee them at the present time.

  L’objectif du colloque organisé conjointement par le Comité franco-allemand des historiennes et historiens des XIX^e et XX^e 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 ?

  Orient oder Rom?

  Prehistory, history and reception of a historiographical myth (1880Ð1930)

  Today the question “Orient oder Rom?” is no longer a topical issue in medieval art history, although a persuasive answer has never been formulated. One of the reasons for this oblivion deals with the controversial figure of Josef Strzygowski, who in 1901 published about the question his pivotal volume, nowadays discredited for its racial and proto-nazi judgement.However, the question “Orient oder Rom?” concerns not only with Josef Strzygowski: the prodromes of this critical concepts goes back to the nineteenth century, when the Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires fought to control territories. The conference aims to distance from the sole Strzygowski’s perspective and to comprehend and rewrite the story of a pivotal concept for both art historiography and cultural identity.
