  Esclavage en Afrique : histoire, héritages et actualité

  Conférence internationale organisée à Nairobi (Kenya) 27, 28 et 29 octobre 2014

  En Afrique, les séquelles de la traite et de l'esclavage sont encore vivaces et on ne peut douter de leur poids dans les relations entretenues par les différentes composantes de la société et de la construction des États-nations contemporains. Les héritages sont nombreux, diversifiés, douloureux parfois et extrêmement sensibles. D'une façon générale, la question de la mémoire de l'esclavage et de sa mise en patrimoine est maîtresse dans le monde atlantique ainsi que dans les sociétés insulaires de l'océan Indien qui ont été façonnées par une économie de plantations. Alors que les voix de la mémoire percent dans des pays comme le Sénégal ou le Bénin, elles émergent seulement en Afrique de l'Est à l'heure actuelle. L’exigence de mémoire ainsi que la transmission des savoirs liés aux esclavages est au cœur de ce colloque et devrait permettre d'alimenter les débats nationaux qui continuent de surgir à l'heure actuelle.

  Crisis, Idea and Policy Transformation

  Experts and Expertise in European International Organizations, 1973-1987

  Crisis and crisis experience were central to Western European history between the first oil crisis of 1973 and the creation of the Single European Act. European international organizations (IOs) such as the OECD or the EC played a crucial role in debating and addressing manifold dimensions of crisis, shifting discourses and transforming policies at national and European level. These IOs drew heavily on experts and their expertise in debating and managing crisis and seeking solutions for structural problems. Organized jointly by the University of Portsmouth and Maastricht University on 30-31 January 2014, the workshop will investigate who were the experts active within IOs and what type or form of expertise they had and draw upon in agenda-setting, policy deliberation and decision-making. It will also discuss the role of experts in policy-making in the respective IOs and their influence on the development of the policy area concerned.

  The Second Global Forum of Critical Studies

  Asking Big Questions Again

  The Euroacademia Global Forum of Critical Studies aims to bring into an open floor the reflexive and questioning interaction among academics, intellectuals, practitioners and activists profoundly concerned with evaluative understandings of the world we’re living in. The focus of the forum is to initiate an arena where no question is misplaced and irrelevant as long as we acknowledge that evaluation, critical thinking and contestation are accessible trajectories to better understand our past, present and alternative scenarios for the future.

  Revisiting the Historical Connections between Agriculture, Nutrition, and Development

  The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in a Global Context

  The workshop posits that after 1945, the interconnectedness of questions of nutrition, agriculture and poverty became a central aspect of international governance, and that issues of food and agriculture posed particular challenges to national sovereignty. We thus approach the history of FAO as a history of the ideas and practices of economic and social ‘development’ embedded in local, regional, national, and global contexts and with implications on all these levels. We propose to examine the process by which the FAO facilitated the institutionalisation and globalisation of debates on agricultural production and food security, how it integrated previous international and transnational networks, and how it navigated the tension between agrarian commercialisation and rural welfare during the Cold War and Decolonisation.

  1st International Symposium: Hope, Betrayal and Trust

  Part of the Research Program on: Lost Virtues, Found Vices

  This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the complex and fluid relationships between hope and trust, and how might betrayal play a productive role in this bond. As concepts, ideas or simple notions, hope and trust seem to have simultaneously lost contemporary currency while being ever more necessary in our every day lives. We seem resigned to a kind of hopelessness, seem unwilling to trust others and are ready and willing to betray whomever we might need to in order to advance our own careers or personal agendas. Yet new technologies require us to place personal information online, to communicate with strangers, and to hold onto the promise of happiness. How are our maintenance of hope, our need to trust and our willingness to betray intertwined? How are these concepts evolving?

  Global Modernism(s)

  Approaches to trans-local / trans-cultural / trans-civilizational dimension of Modernist movements

  The trans-cultural and trans-civilizational potential of Modernism lies at the roots of our present globalized condition; on the other hand, internal contradictions of Modernism mark the limitations of our present consciousness. This is the reason why it is important to reinterpret Modernism from a planetary perspective. Our aim in this issue of "Planeta Literatur" is to foster the debate on how to approach Modernism understood not only as a transnational, but also a trans-cultural and a trans-civilizational movement.

  Renovatio, inventio, absentia imperii

  De l’Empire romain à l’impérialisme contemporain

  At the heart of the present conference will be the ‘reception’, ‘Nachleben’ or ‘permanence’ of the Roman Empire, of an idea and a historical paradigm which since Classical Antiquity has supported the most widespread claims to obtain and consolidate power. The focus will be on ‘culture’, this latter concept intended in a broad sense, i.e. including not only the arts, architecture, literature etc., but also philosophy, religion and, most importantly, discourse. As such, a wide array of themes will be subjected to academic scrutiny. Whereas the main focus will be on Europe and North America, this conference will also reach out towards non-Western contexts, whether or not directly related to the Roman example.
