    Framing Autonomy: Ideas and Policy Dynamics in Long-Term Care

    Since the 1990s, long-term care (LTC) policies across Western countries have undergone major transformations, notably toward marketization, aging in place, and recognition of informal caregivers. Despite this convergence, the normative and ideational dimensions of these changes remain understudied. Drawing on scholarship about the role of policy ideas in welfare state reform, the workshop invites contributions on three interconnected themes : the influence of international organizations and transnational networks on policy convergence ; the impact of shifting cultural norms around gender, family, and intergenerational solidarity ; and the concept of autonomy as both a normative framework and a practical tool for comparing LTC systems.

    Living together in the Absurd

    Making sense when the world doesn’t make sense

    According to Camus, the world we live in is absurd. While this can become manifest to us in nearly any situation, Camus is adamant that the world’s absurdity is not owing to any specific features. Rather, it is intrinsically relational and results from the unresolvable tension of two elements : the unbridgeable hiatus between a reason that seeks understanding and a world that remains strictly irrational. If it is our understanding that opens up the world for us, at the same time, the world irrevocably resists being fully grasped. The absurdity thus creates a human desire for clarity that will never see its fulfilment.

    Lost in Their Words. Rewriting the Political Lexicon of the Far-Right

    Focusing on Italian, German, French and other historical or national contexts, the volume conceptualises the Far-right not as a fixed ideological formation but as a dynamic and transnational network sustained by flexible and often unobtrusive linguistic infrastructures. It distinguishes between far Right as an adjectival umbrella term (neo-fascist, nationalist, radical, terrorist, subversive right movement and phenomena) and Far-Right as a situational category within the broader right–left continuum (Pirro 2023; Livi 2024). The volume does not seek to replace ideological analysis with a purely linguistic approach. Ideological formations remain central to any understanding of the Far-right. Yet they become historically intelligible only when examined through the semantic and discursive processes by which they are articulated, circulated and normalised.

    Periodicals and Translations

    This presentation highlights the political and partial nature of periodicals by examining the transatlantic reception of Lagerlöf’s translations in English in a selection of literary reviews such as the TLS (1902-), the Review of Reviews (1890 – 1937), the American Review of Reviews (1890 – 1937) and the more specialized American-Scandinavian Review (1913-).

    Living together in the Absurd

    Making sense when the world doesn’t make sense

    The aim of the workshop is to address this question by bringing together different perspectives from philosophy, psychology, and psychiatry on existentialism and the Absurd. It explores how reflecting on the Absurd may disrupt and challenge contemporary debates on self, world, and others but also significantly inform approaches in social philosophy, political philosophy, ethics, and psychotherapy.

    Translating Comics: Between Bubbles, Cultures, and Constraints in East Asia

    The conference examines the challenges of comic translation at the intersection of literature, visual semiotics, and culture. It addresses difficulties posed by spatial text layout, as well as translating humor, puns, cultural references, and typographic effects. Editorial norms and censorship across different cultural contexts are also considered. The focus is on translations to or from Asian languages, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (manhua, manga, manhwa). Issues of adaptation, localization, and graphic constraints, along with the roles of editors and translators, will be discussed. Case studies of published or ongoing translations will illustrate these challenges.

    The Cladding of Art Nouveau Buildings Theory, history & practice of architectural covering materials: ceramics, hydraulic cement tiles, terrazzo, metlachi and more

    International Symposium “Art Nouveau as a New EUtopia” (2024–2027)

    Connecting to the main subject of the „Bringing Art Nouveau heritage back to life” symposium, the conference to be held in Budapest in 2026 intends to examine the topic of architectural covering materials in Art Nouveau buildings as part of a Gesamtkunstwerk system, after the Torino Declaration on the Preservation of the Art Nouveau Architecture (1994).

    Abundance or Sufficiency?

    The Left’s Diverging Paths in the Green Transition

    Since the 1970s, environmental constraints, shifting social values, and the crisis of post-war productivism have profoundly challenged the Western left. Once grounded in beliefs in scientific progress, technological innovations, and rising material prosperity, left-wing movements have increasingly been forced to confront planetary limits, rising inequality, and growing public ambivalence toward technoscience. These tensions have crystallised in contemporary debates on the Green Transition, where competing visions of abundance (growth-oriented technological optimism) and sufficiency (degrowth, sobriété, post-productivism) shape political and social antagonisms.

    Circulations politiques, culturelles et intellectuelles Sud-Nord dans la période post-Bandung : vers une histoire connectée du Commonwealth

    Ce séminaire se consacre à l’étude des circulations des Suds vers les Nords dans l’optique de déconstruire « l’Empire britannique » comme catégorie homogène de pensée pour écrire et penser les histoires intellectuelles, artistiques et politiques des personnes qui circulent au sein de cet espace politique que l’on appelle le Commonwealth des Nations dans la période post-Bandung. Dans la lignée de travaux antérieurs portant les réseaux, échanges et transferts entre artistes, intellectuel·les et activistes politiques issu·es des Suds globaux au sein de cet espace, nous cherchons à interroger la nature contre-hégémonique des savoirs, théories et pratiques artistiques produits depuis Bandung.

    Comrade Consumer: Shopping, Style, and Desire on Socialist Screens

    To many casual viewers, socialist cinema from Central Europe and the Soviet Union rarely evokes images of beauty parlors, leisurely shopping, or browsing exotic groceries—let alone consumer abundance and hired domestic help. Yet throughout the relatively “liberal” 1960s, the murky 1970s, and the tentative promise of the 1980s, nationalized film and television studios in the Polish People’s Republic, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR frequently returned to shopping as pastime, leisure, and aspiration, constructing surprisingly layered images of consumption under socialism.

    The Outskirts of Socialist Societies: The Unfit, the Liminal, the Marginal

    “History of Communism in Europe” journal, no. 17/2026

    This special issue of History of Communism in Europe seeks to explore these paradoxes of marginality under socialist regimes. We invite contributions that examine how marginal, liminal, and unfit groups or individuals were constructed, controlled, resisted, and reimagined across different socialist contexts. By focusing on the outskirts of socialist societies, we aim to advance comparative insights into the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, domination and resistance, conformity and transgression.
