  Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)

  How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between  mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

  Thinking about violence in Africa through women’s experiences: vulnerability & subversion

  Penser la violence en Afrique au travers de l’expérience des femmes: vulnérabilité et subversion

  The two-day conference “Junges Forum 2020” seeks to reflect on women’s experiences of violence in Africa from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is not to discuss passive experience in the context of violence (if it exists at all) but to attempt to outline different experiences of violence (symbolic, social, domestic, epistemic, political or sexual) as well as to explore how they can be transformed, appropriated and reversed. The “Junges Forum” explicitly invites young researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral scholars) to share their ideas from various disciplines (anthropology, film studies, gender studies, history, literary studies, psychology, sociology, etc.) in order to encourage an interdisciplinary exchange and open debates related to the topic. The main focus is to be on African countries and regions only.

  Research and innovation practices in non-academic settings in Europe (17th-21th Centuries)

  The aim of this conference is to examine the production of scientific, medical, technical and artistic knowledge in non-academic settings in Europe between the 17^th and 21^st centuries. The point is to understand who these non-academic social actors were, and to study the interactions between their research conditions, the knowledge produced and its reception. No presupposition on the marginality of or indeed centrality of said social actors should be deduced from the wording of the question. On the contrary, it calls for a study of the complex interactions between social and scholarly social spheres.

  Solidarity at Work

  The term “solidarity” seems to have fallen out of theoretical fashion despite the fact that it has a long history of describing the shared struggles of those oppressed by economic or political power structures. This conference aims to explore the past, present and future of “solidarity at work” on both the conceptual and empirical level. Its focus is on the world of work, which it wants to investigate from a transnational perspective. How have the concepts, conceptions and categories of solidarity shaped labor and the labor movements of different countries? What about the divergent conceptual meanings and practices in these assorted contexts? How have power relations as well as people’s everyday life been changed by the various practices related to solidarity? How do technological and managerial changes help to shift ideas and practices of solidarity? Do we see new forms emerging? Who are the agents of “solidarity at work” and what are the concrete mechanisms involved? More broadly, what are the levers and brakes of solidarity in the workplace today?

  The politics of non-identity

  En France comme en Allemagne, la réception de la pensée d’Adorno semble actuellement renouvelée. La notion de non-identité, dont les significations sont encore loin d’être épuisées, sont plus particulièrement au centre de l’intérêt pour la pensée du théoricien critique. Elle est de plus en plus invoquée à la faveur de la montée en puissance des « identitaires » en Europe et plus généralement de l’inflation sémantique du vocabulaire de l’identité au sein d’un spectre politique très large. À partir de ce constat d'ordre politique, le Junges Forum propose d’interroger les ressources de la notion de non-identité tout comme ses possibles mobilisations sur des terrains multiples et interdisciplinaires.

  Beyond disciplinary boundaries

  The practices of historical social sciences in France and Germany

  Les relations entre histoire et sciences sociales se sont parfois limitées en France et en Allemagne à des portraits caricaturaux, dessinés par chaque discipline pour mieux légitimer sa propre démarche. Plutôt que de s’enfermer dans des reproches parfois justifiés ou des oppositions classiques mais répétées ad nauseam (sciences nomothétiques vs. sciences idiographiques ; synchronie vs. diachronie, continuité vs. rupture, individu vs. structure etc.), nous souhaitons lors de ce Junges Forum interroger à nouveaux frais la possibilité et les conditions d’un dialogue fructueux entre sciences sociales et histoire en France et en Allemagne, à la suite d’une riche filiation faite de coopérations et de conflits.

  Difference, diversity, diffraction: confronting hegemonies and dispossessions

  10th European Feminist Research Conference

  The overall theme of the conference is “Difference, Diversity, Diffraction: Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions”, which refers to a topic central to Gender Studies: the social construction of difference and inequality on the one hand, and the recognition of marginalised experiences and subject positions on the other. In the face of growing right-wing populist movements, anti-feminist and anti-queer backlash, forced migration, austerity and climate change, these concerns take on renewed relevance. The subtitle “Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions” is a call to reflect on, challenge and defy the hierarchies, subjugations and deprivations that are linked to structural differentiations and to find affirmative ways of dealing with difference , diversity and diffraction. The conference is committed to promoting a feminist anti-racist accessible space for all genders.

  Emotions politics and the media in contemporary times

  A Franco-German interdisciplinary comparison of European history

  Les émotions imprègnent le quotidien des populations et ont une influence sur leurs comportements et leurs décisions, ce qui se répercute sur le cours de l’histoire. Appelée de ses vœux par Lucien Febvre en 1941 l’histoire des sensibilités, ou histoire des émotions, a connu ces dernières dix voire vingt dernières années un écho remarquable. Les travaux du couple Stearns, Williams Reddy et Barbara Rosenwein ont fait largement avancer l’histoire des émotions. Des historiens allemands, tels que Ute Frevert, Birgit Ashmann et Jan Plamper, et français, tels qu’Alain Corbin et Georges Vigarello ont participé à l’établissement d’une nouvelle branche de la recherche en histoire.

  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."

  The challenge of afterwards - the postdoc phase in France and Germany

  La phase postdoctorale en France et en Allemagne

  La soutenance d’une thèse de doctorat marque la fin d’un cycle et la reconnaissance de ses pairs. Mais elle ouvre dans le même temps une phase d’incertitudes et d’inquiétudes légitimes sur son avenir professionnel à court, moyen et long terme. Quel que soit le système universitaire dans lequel on a fait sa thèse, les jeunes chercheurs.es partagent de part et d’autre du Rhin un certain nombre de questions, de doutes et d’angoisses, qui portent tant sur les aspects institutionnels que sur les choix très concrets à faire : doit-on privilégier la carte de l’internationalisation de son parcours ? Comment arriver à construire un nouveau sujet de recherche ? Quelles sont les possibilités structurelles qui s’offrent en France, en Allemagne ou ailleurs ?

  (Re)thinking the world

  Borders and memoirs about teacher training in Europe4

  Soixante aprés la signature du traité de Rome, l'Union européenne est confrontée à de nouveaux défis : accroissement des migrations à grandes échelles, montée des partis ultra-nationalistes et eurosceptiques et crainte des attaques terroristes. Face à ces enjeux,les reponses politiques européennes ou étatiques semblent marquées par le repli et l'exclusion. À l'aune de cette crise, il est à craindre que les valeurs européennes de tolérance, de démocratie et d'humanisme soient en danger de disparition. Dans ce contexte, il apparaît nécessaire de convoquer le rôle de l'éducation et notamment de la formation des enseignants dans cette évolution et notamment dans la perception des frontières qu'elles soient physique ou mentales.
