Extreme Rigth and Democracy in Europe After the Second World War

Coexistence, Contrasts, Contradictions

It seems urgent to reflect on how democracies have responded to the presence of extreme rightwing movements, both in terms of political practices and rhetoric. Have democracies actively opposed the extreme right, or have they opted for strategies of containment and coexistence? Equally important is to examine the perspective of the extreme right: how has it interpreted and narrated the (supposed) coexistence with the democratic system? How has it dealt with the legacy of fascism and to what extent has it adapted to the culture of democracy? This conference will analyze the language and culture of the extreme right, paying special attention to its critiques of democracy, including its reaction of Enlightenment values and claims that democracy operates a double standard, tolerant in theory, but marginalizing and punishing the extreme right in practice. Giving historical depth to the extreme right’s relationship with democracy will allow for new insights into today’s public debates.

Interspecies Interactions in the Visual Arts (1550-1914). Collaborations, Experimentations, Oppositions

This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. Are they merely objects of study, partners in creation, or autonomous agents in a larger process? How does the making of artworks define or blur boundaries between humans and other-than-humans?

Female Body or Women's Bodies? The Limits of the Body Metaphor in Jewish Culture

A Comparative Approach

The use of metaphor to approach women’s bodies in Jewish culture is a powerful rhetorical tool for conveying a specific construction of the female body within the social, literary, and medical spheres. These images define the boundaries within which this body is to be viewed, perceived, and experienced. By interrogating these boundaries from a gender studies perspective, this study day provides an opportunity to develop a comparative approach to metaphors of the female body as they are used to represent women’s bodies—from the Talmud to contemporary Hebrew literature, including the Midrash, legal texts, and medical discourse.

Habits in (Time of) Crisis

At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, philosophies of habit questioned the evolution of habit following profound socio-political crises. They offered insights and models for reflection, which were, however, interrupted by the “agony” surrounding the concept of habit in philosophy during the twentieth century. Ultimately, philosophies of habit have only partially examined the question of how habit is subverted during crises. Although there has been a resurgence of interest in the constitution, function, and nature of habit in the past two decades, the explanatory hypotheses developed appear incomplete. Crises are often perceived as moments of rupture and interruption, but contemporary perspectives increasingly conceptualize them as enduring conditions. The international conference aims to address these questions from philosophical-theoretical, historical, psychological, linguistic, and ecological-scientific perspectives.

Photography from the Struggles for Independence

Practices, circulations and aesthetics

The aim of this colloquium is to highlight the histories of photography generated during the processes of decolonization, while rethinking methodological and aesthetic approaches to the medium that are still too Western-centric. What has happened to the production and circulation of photographers and their images since the independence struggles? How did new iconographies, new aesthetics and, with them, new networks of visual exchange develop, complicating the one-sided visibilities and photographic circulations from the “South” to the “North” established during the colonial periods?

Conference, symposium - Law

Autonomy and The Law

Interdisciplinary Workshop

The Center for Critical Democracy Studies invites you to a workshop on Autonomy and the Law. This event will explore the complex interplay between autonomy and legal frameworks, with a focus on the right to housing, the concept of autonomy in law, child autonomy, digital markets, and a conceptual inquiry into the limits of autonomy. Key themes include the legal and social dimensions of securing housing rights, the philosophical and practical facets of autonomy within legal systems, the unique challenges of children’s autonomy in legal contexts, the impact of digital markets on individual agency, and the theoretical boundaries of autonomous action. Critical issues to be addressed encompass systemic barriers to housing access, the balance between individual autonomy and societal obligations, protections for minors in legal decision-making, privacy and consumer rights in digital ecosystems, and the ethical and legal constraints on autonomy. This workshop provides a platform for engaging in a dialogue on the pressing legal, ethical, and societal questions shaping autonomy across these domains.

Usable Temporalities

Time and Writing in Early Modern Almanacs and Calendars

This workshop delves into the intersections of time and writing in early modern almanacs and calendars. It aims to analyze not only how these popular and ephemeral texts and chronographic media propagated particular temporal orders but also how they were used. Almanacs and calendars were not merely tools for projecting or tracking (feast) days and celestial events; they were dynamic media in which 'scientific' knowledge, practical advice, and cultural (self-)narratives converged. The event brings together interdisciplinary scholars to explore how visualizing and writing practices in these sources framed notions of temporality, and how they meditated personal and collective experiences of time.

Summer School - Epistemology and methodology

Navigating change in agro-pastoral systems

Transdisciplinary methods for studying social-ecological systems

We are organising a series of three annual summer schools to offer PhD and post-doctoral scientists working on pressing livelihood issues in different social-ecological systems contexts the opportunity to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in transdisciplinary research that can have tangible impacts on society. The present summer school in Parakou, Benin, focuses on the study of transformations and innovations in African agro-pastoral systems in a context of multi-dimensional turbulence. The summer school aims to help PhD students and post-docs establish and build conceptual and theoretical foundations, develop methodological and analytical skills, and improve the communication of their results and ideas in the transdisciplinary study of social-ecological systems in general, and on agro-pastoral systems in particular.

Public-Private Partnerships and Hybrid Practices of Shared Monopoly on Violence in Europe, 1870s-1920s

The conference aims to show that even at the apex of the modern State trajectory, hybrid practices not only persisted, but rather represented fully sanctioned courses of action across Europe. Observed through the prism of hybrid groups like civic militias, security agencies as well as volunteer armed corps, the well-established dichotomy between public and private appears to be less clear-cut than it is usually believed to be. In between these two poles of publicness and privateness, a vast grey area emerges.
