  Religious pathways to better futures

  Religious groups in Africa are not only an important source of imaginations of the future they are also remarkably active in their efforts to realize them. Thereby different religious groups articulate quite different visions on the future of their society, of Africa, the world or of mankind and follow different ways to pursue their goals: some groups might opt for public prayers, some for violence, some see in education the best way to realize their visions, some form political parties, and still others search for support in transnational networks or establish faith-based-organizations and try to link their future imaginaries to those of the donors in the world of development. Thus, looking at differing religious visions on the future and at the ways they are translated into practice, raises questions about the forms of public religion and interest articulation in a national and transnational setting as well as questions about religious diversity within a society.

  Dilemmas of political representation

  The journal Snodi. Public and Private in Contemporary History will devote its 13^th issue to the theme of political representation; we invite submissions of papers which address in particular the dilemmas, the conflicts and the tensions that can arise between duties of representation and individual choices and inclinations. We are interested in explorations of the ways in which the conflict between the "self" and the "collective self" has broken out within the political sphere at different stages of the modern era, from the late eighteenth century to the present, and in differentgeographical contexts.

  The office as an interior (1880-1960)

  Au cours de la « deuxième révolution industrielle » augmente considérablement l’activité dans le tertiaire et se développent les services administratifs dans le secteur industriel et public. L’employé devient ainsi la figure sociale de la modernité urbaine, qui témoigne aussi du rôle croissant de la femme dans ce secteur professionnel. Le colloque The office as an interior (1880-1960) aborde l’essor du travail administratif entre 1880 et 1960 à travers l’analyse de l’émergence d´un espace nouveau, le bureau, qui par ses arrangements contribue à la diffusion de nouvelles formes de sociabilité et réalise des nouveaux modes d’organisation du travail.

  Estrategias y colaboraciones interdisciplinarias

  El presente seminario se anuncia como la primera cita de una serie de tres seminarios que tendrán lugar en cada una de las ciudades exploradas. Ofrece un espacio de trabajo colaborativo, de reflexión y de intercambio alrededor del cual se reúnen los exploradores, los colaboradores, los miembros asociados y los otros participantes, que brindan su visión externa. Asimismo, sentará las bases para reflexionar sobre el proyecto en sí y dialogar abiertamente sobre sus perspectivas críticas. Por ejemplo, ¿qué significa el conocimiento para un artista, un investigador o un pedagogo? ¿Cómo se construye? ¿De qué discursos y representaciones son responsables los artistas, los investigadores de ciencias sociales y los pedagogos? ¿Qué enfoque de investigación adoptar de cara a la interdisciplinariedad y la intervención social? ¿De qué manera nuestras disciplinas de investigación, de creación o de intervención social revierten el motivo histórico de la expedición? O, ¿qué relación tienen las disciplinas con ese motivo?

  Meet the New Gods, Same as the Old Gods? Formulary, Ritual and Status in Hellenistic Ruler Cult

  Panel to be held at the Eighth Celtic Conference in Classics

  Despite recent and widespread interest in Greek hero and ruler cult, evaluating the processes that lead to the bestowal of cultic honours on Hellenistic sovereigns still remains a controversial matter. Political readings of such honours within the framework of contemporary international diplomacy and euergetic discourse have picked up on polarities widely discussed by previous bibliography, such as "dynastic vs. civic", "living vs. posthumous", etc. Yet the main focus is still limited to a "top-down" perspective, which leaves aside the fascinating dialectics between "private" and "public", or to perhaps phrase this more accurately, between "institutional" and "non-institutional" actors.

  Activism and possibilities of justice: anthropological perspectives

  Workshop of the EASA-Network “Anthropology and Social Movements”

  The unprecedented spread of mass mobilizations throughout the world let many observers no doubts: something “new” and still “without a name” is happening, argue distinguished left-wing scholars like Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek. The unexpected “Arab Spring” changed regional and global Middle Eastern politics, considered as “static” and out of the way for activism beyond the Islamist movement; the world spreading “Occupy” movements have set a new agenda highlighting the crisis of neoliberal austerity politics. With this development, themes and visions related to justice and solidarity evolved rapidly, has been re-interpreted by a diverse set of forces and has moved back at the fore front of global visibility. In this workshop, we aim to explore these possibilities of justice. What contributions anthropologists do make to this effervescent scenario?

  Objects of Memory, Memory of Objects

  The Artworks as a Vehicle of the Past in the Middle Ages

  This PhD student conference deals with the objects and their memory. Its principal aim is to reconsider the memorial objects in their context, as well as the memory of particual objects. In fact, some treasure pieces are said to have been owned or donated by a prestigious person (bishop, martyr or emperor) but these pieces or legends appear years after the death of this person. In this case, the object creates the memory, and the prestige of the institution which owns them. We will try to discuss, with these goals in mind, the ideas of memory and oblivion.

  Developing a sense of belonging in diverse societies

  Hui-Muslims in China and Muslims in Europe

  The aim of this workshop is to gather scholars who work on Hui-Muslims in China and Muslims in Europe to compare the similitudes and differences of identity practices. Hui are predominantly Chinese speaking Muslims in China’s vast territory. With a population of 10 million, they are also the most numerous recognized ethnic group in China. Muslims in Europe are hardly featured in international media, domestic politics, and scholarly discussions. Multiculturalism, radicalisation, immigration, integration, forced marriage are discussed through the Muslim visibility and presence in Europe. Recent debates on integration and secularism are focused on  the "Muslim question". In contrast to the focus on Muslims in Europe, there is a notable lack of interest in Muslims in China with the exception of the Uyghur community. In this workshop, we want to study the impact of ethnic-religious interactions, state integration positions and policies to grasp the increasing influence of religious-collective-national expression of Muslims in the public sphere. We would like to examine the new patterns of expression and visibility of the Muslims in China and Europe. Tracing Muslim’s interaction with non-Muslims, this workshop investigates how Muslims encounters, accommodates and negotiates into different socio political contexts in China and Europe.

  Practices of critique

  International Graduate Conference

  Practices of critique are intertwined with normative orders in manifold ways. They contain and refer reflexively to critical contentions, and they can enable as well as suppress critique. In this context it is essential to reconstruct the theoretical foundations of critique and power structures as well the practices in which they are instantiated. Three aspects are crucial: firstly concrete forms of power and their application, which always emerge from a tension between normative claims and solidified systems of rule; secondly the purview of justice as the foundation for critical rationale; thirdly the aspect of aesthetic representation. Such themes shall be addressed from multidisciplinary perspectives at the international graduate conference “Practices of Critique” on 5-7 December 2013.
