Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2019
The 2019 session of the Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies will be devoted to the question what happens to concepts derived from cultural techniques – like writing, erasure, image, number, not to mention the concept of culture itself – when implemented by algorithmic routines that run on computers or mobile media and thus effectively become digitized cultural technologies.The 2019 Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies will attempt to map out approaches to media as networks of cultural technologies. We invite applications from outstanding doctoral students throughout the world in media studies and related fields such as film studies, literary studies, philosophy, art history, architecture, sociology, politics, the history of science and visual culture.

Scaling. What happens when we scale things up or down?
Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018
The 2018 session will be devoted to the investigation of scale and scaling as operative concepts for the analysis of media. What happens when we scale? Does anything really change? Can scaling ever impact the inner blueprint of an object? Are there laws of scaling? Or does scaling resist any attempt at calculability, such that, to investigate it, we can only ever look at individual events of scaling? As a media practice, scaling is widely used. But, in contrast to the ubiquity of operations, scaling is hardly ever viewed on its own terms as a basic concept of media analysis. The Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018 will attempt to map out approaches to scaling as a basic media-analytical tool.

Memory and the making of knowledge in the Early Modern world
While memory is an established sub-field within these disciplines, its themes and sources have led to an over-representation of the ancient and modern worlds, meaning that the early modern era has been comparatively neglected. The School seeks not merely to redress this imbalance, but also to explore how studies of memory and early modernity might shape one another in the future. Participants in the Summer School, which will take place between 18 and 22 September 2017, will have the opportunity to discuss the most recent research presented by leading scholars in the field, to learn or refine skills in workshops that focus on the media and techniques of memory, and to present their own work to a uniquely qualified and supportive international peer group.

Summer School - Science studies
In the face of the current ecological crisis, how shall we rethink concepts and practices of environment, ecology, difference, and technology to envision and create a more just, sustainable, and diverse planet? The combined histories of colonialism, extraction industries, energy, as well as innovation in design, architecture, literature and technology offer a lens by which to examine how contemporary techno-scientific societies envision planetary futures. Site visits exploring resource extraction, colonialism in urban policy and planning, and speculative architectural design will be accompanied by an analysis of science fiction, science technology, speculative design and ethnography, as well as life and earth sciences.

The rights of minorities in the Atlantic from Antiquity to the present day
Second STARACO summer university, at Casa de Velázquez, Madrid
Le projet STARACO (STAtuts, « RAce » et COuleurs dans le monde atlantique de l’Antiquité à nos jours), financé par la Région Pays de la Loire, propose un soutien à la participation de doctorants et post-doctorants (Europe, Afrique, Amériques) à l’Université d’été qui se déroulera à Madrid du 23 au 27 juin 2014. Pendant des siècles, les minorités ont été définies par un statut juridique qui précisait leur place dans la société par rapport aux groupes majoritaires. Le cas le plus connu est celui de l’esclavage, proche de la mort civile, assimilant les individus à des choses ; on sait néanmoins que l’esclave pouvait jouir, le cas échéant, d’une capacité juridique en vertu de la nature juridictionnelle (et donc jurisprudentielle) du droit ancien. Les minorités libres, qu’elles soient religieuses, « raciales » ou ethniques, étaient également définies par des droits particuliers qui précisaient les incapacités dont elles étaient frappées, et les privilèges éventuels qui les protégeaient en tant que mineurs juridiques. Il s’agit de suivre la mise en place d’un droit destiné à définir le statut, les obligations et les incapacités des minorités en éclairant l’origine de ces systèmes normatifs et leur évolution dans le temps.
