  Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity

  We invite contributions for our Workshop “Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity”, happening at Humboldt University Berlin, 24-25 May 2019. The materiality of technologies and infrastructures is significant; however, we think their impact on and interaction with societies has to be analysed in a global dimension as well. We hope to establish this approach for the broader field of African History, reacting and bringing attention to a growing interest in these questions indicated in a number of recently developed research projects and publications.

  All the Beauty of the World. The European Market for non-European Artefacts (18th-20th century)

  In the wake of the Western expansion, a fast growing number of non-European artefacts entered the European market. They initially made their way into princely cabinets of curiosities. Enabled by the forced opening and exploitation of more and more parts of the world and pushed by social and technological changes of the time, the 18^th century brought a boom of the market of non-European artefacts in Europe. This came along with the emergence of a broader collecting culture and the development of a rich museumscape. This market and its development in terms of methods and places of exchange and monetary and ideological value of the objects are in the focus of an international symposium that will take place in October 2016 in Berlin.

  Pour une histoire transnationale de l'art dans l'Europe communiste (1945-1989)

  L’objet de ce colloque est de comprendre les échanges artistiques entre les pays de l’Est et de l’Ouest mais aussi à l’intérieur du bloc de l’Est. Tout en prenant en compte les enracinements nationaux, les spécificités de la politique culturelle de chaque parti communiste et l’importance de la fracture introduite par le rideau de fer, il s’agit de s’interroger sur une histoire internationale et transnationale de l’art dans l’Europe communiste de 1945 à 1989.
