Au milieu du XXe siècle, en contexte de Guerre froide, divers pays envisagent le socialisme comme alternative à la domination coloniale. Dans le double contexte de Guerre froide et de décolonisations, le domaine culturel, et notamment les arts visuels (arts plastiques, photographie, cinéma, arts textiles, arts décoratifs, architecture), occupent une place particulièrement importante.

Consolatio. Formes et enjeux de la consolation de l'Antiquité au 21e siècle
Aujourd’hui, la mission de consoler les personnes en souffrance est majoritairement dévolue à des professionnels du soin, des associations, quelquefois à la religion, le plus souvent aux exercices de développement personnel, dont certains se prétendent fondés sur l’enseignement des philosophes antiques. De fait, Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes pour modérer le chagrin suscité par les événements malheureux (décès, maladie, vieillesse, exil, injustice, etc.).

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

Cinema Left Undone: A Secret History of Central European and Soviet Films (1920-1990)
The international and interdisciplinary seminar seeks to explore the phenomenon of film scripts that were left undone. Sessions will focus on film projects whose screenplays have been preserved in archival collections but for which no footage was ever produced. Through discussions, the seminar aims to encourage the scholarly community to examine cases from various periods (1920-1930, 1930-1945, 1945-1968, 1968-1990) and from diverse regional contexts (Central Europe, Balkan contexts, Soviet countries).

Summerschool: Marriage in Premodern Imagination
Art, Gender & Cultural History of an Institution and a Sacrament
The interdisciplinary summer school Marriage in Premodern Europe (1400–1800), jointly organized by Viadrina and Sorbonne University (Paris 1), investigates marriage as a theological, legal, and socio-political institution. Combining perspectives from literary studies, theology, religious and art history, and gender studies, the program examines how confessionalisation and legal regulation shaped norms, rituals, and power relations across Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed traditions. Particular attention is given to the interaction between doctrine, institutional authority, and lived experience in the formation of premodern matrimonial cultures.

Philosophy and the National Question
Taking as its starting point the idea of “philosophical nationalism” proposed by Jacques Derrida, this seminar aims to question the way in which different national and nationalist discourses have accompanied both the construction of modern philosophical historiography and the development of comparative or intercultural philosophy. The division of the world into “philosophical nations” still constitutes today the starting point of any comparative effort and leads to making the “dialogue between traditions” a discourse tending to legitimize national ideologies.

Seuils in(ter)disciplinaires : une exploration méthodologique de l’indisciplinarité
Le collectif propose de questionner les enjeux de seuils entre disciplines à travers un cycle de quatre séminaires. La notion de seuil prend ici la forme d’expérimentations entre disciplines, au sens d’une indisciplinarité qui explore l’hybridité, les croisements, les entre-deux. Comment une discipline autre que la sienne permet-elle de réinvestir sa pratique et sa recherche ? Être « sur le seuil » devient une méthode de recherche et de création qui, dans une période de crise sociale, économique et politique, nous permet de penser dans l’altérité. La plus-value de ce cycle de séminaires tient dans son hybridation transdisciplinaire entre recherche et création, mêlant conférences et ateliers artistiques avec des intervenant·es chercheur·es/artistes.

While secondary literature on Bayle has gained impetus in recent years, with a new generation of researchers (e.g. Argaud, Van der Lugt, Levitin), colloquiums and meetings about Bayle are still rare. The aim of this online seminar is precisely to remedy this situation. It is open to all scholars, so as to get to know each other and stimulate the research dynamics on the Rotterdam philosopher. The seminar takes place online, once a month from January to June.

The Normalized, the Normalizers and Their Cinemas
Czechoslovak and Soviet Films of the 1970s
In both cinemas—that of the “normalizer” and that of the “normalized”—the political and economic stagnation reinforced by stochastic censorship and disillusioned society often leads to peculiar examples of mismatched ideology and aesthetics allowing for viewing them as accidental camp classics today. What structural changes do Czechoslovak studios undergo in the wake of the Warsaw Pact invasion? What thematic and aesthetic choices can be attributed to their moment in film history on both sides of the Iron Curtain? How does the soaring number of light entertainment genre like melodrama, comedy or musical correlate with the current events? Last but not least, the questions of actors’ agency in the face of state repression and censorship, of reevaluation of the immense corpus of films created during the late-Communist era feel relevant in Russian and Central European cinema and culture in general today.

Local powers toward central authorities: Decision-making process in medieval urban societies
2nd Lectures on social contract
The scientific summit is dedicated to bringing together different specialists who analyse the discursivities of decision-making developed in medieval towns and other local instances of political governance. The goal of this seminar is centred in exploring the dynamics between the local and the central spheres of power, following an understanding on how those dynamics build their communication strategies from communal institutions side to interact with —or, even though, resist to— their so-called sovereign authorities. These communication channels often operated networks of semantic change between the local spheres, where political decisions were performed, and the higher spheres with jurisdictional power over them.

BioCriticism – 2024
This seminar series explores relations between the life sciences, critical theory, contemporary literature and visual arts. The proposed scope of biocriticism is: critical examination of contemporary artistic engagement with biological images, discourse and practices; critical theory currently engaging with the concepts and discourse of the life sciences; art as a space which engages critically with biological theory, technology and rhetoric.

The goal of the seminar is to interrogate the experience of touch in works of art and to explore the diversity of haptic affects across artistic media. With speakers from various disciplines and areas of expertise, we intend to discuss the elusive tactility of the arts in relation to technology, science, ethics, politics, and everyday life.

Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era. We thus call for the study of the circulation and transfers of political and cultural ideas but also the intellectual trajectories of individuals, collectives and institutions.

Digital Humanities meet Artificial Intelligence Seminar Series
DHAI Seminar Summary : Fostered by the creation of new algorithms, computation power and the development of deep learning techniques, Artificial Intelligence needs constantly to confront new issues and data sets in order to deepen its methodologies and increase its range of scientific applications. Digital humanities, developing digital science methodologies in the study of humanities and using the critical approaches of humanities in the analysis of the contemporary “digital revolutions,” are constantly in search of new tools to explore more and more complex and diversified data sets. The ambition of this seminar is to be one of the places where this coupling is shaped, fostered and analyzed. It intends to offer a forum where both communities, understood in a very inclusive way, exchange around emerging issues, ongoing projects, and past experiences in order to build a common language, a shared space, and to encourage innovative cooperation on the long run.
