Insecure Conditions: ‘Precarity’ and ‘Precarisation’ in Contemporary History

18th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History

At the 18^th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History, we propose to take the concept of “precarity” as a starting point to inquire into situations of insecure circumstances in contemporary history: (co-)productions and perceptions of them, ways of dealing with them, and their effects on those exposed to them.

Hemingway et l’Amérique du Sud

La fabrique transculturelle du vivant

The study of transculturality in Hemingway’s work, as proposed in this international conference, has a triple dimension: experiential, transtextual and intersubjective. Hemingway’s practice of transculturality was inspired by his passion for nature and the unconstrained possibilities of receiving and transmitting knowledge that the focus on nature as a universal good makes possible.

Mapping the Other

In Western space, mapping the Other is not a prescriptive notion to assign ossified identities. Rather, it is about questioning the link between these intersectional identities of otherness and the specificities of the various Western spaces. In other words, it invites a reconsideration of how the Others autonomously define themselves in the dominant and marginal spaces of the “normative order” of hegemonic societies, and how they integrate them to make them theirs—therefore challenging the systems of oppression implemented.

Communication dynamics, ecological mobilizations and contemporary citizen participation

The call for papers focuses on the repertoires of contemporary mobilization on ecology and the environment. This range includes info-communication (media, internet, social networks), educational, legal (including lobbying and advocacy), artistic, scientific, etc. Consensual forms coexist with more conflictual or radical forms, this radicality sometimes undermining environmental concertation efforts. We are also interested in the types of scientific and professional commitment that lead to particular forms of activism, sometimes assumed, sometimes questioned or denied (committed scientists, lawyers, architects, craftsmen, etc.). Finally, this colloquium intends to explore citizen participation in ecology, which, carrying an ethos and a singular organization, brings out knowledge, information and expertise that feed the public debate.

In the shadow of the superpowers? Revisiting the relations between Cuba and Europe (20th century)

Les liens et les processus de médiation entre Cuba et une grande partie de l’Europe au cours du XX^e siècle n'ont pas fait l’objet d'une analyse détaillée, en bonne partie car ils ont été éclipsés par les dynamiques de la Guerre froide et la longue histoire des influences exercées sur l’île tant par les États-Unis que par l’URSS. Nous nous proposons d'examiner ces « rapports oubliés » sur une période historique étendue qui, contrairement à l’écrasante majorité des travaux sur Cuba, ne divise pas la chronologie entre un avant et un après la victoire castriste de 1959. Ce cadre chronologique étendu a pour objectif de nous permettre de mettre en lumière les continuités et les ruptures des liens entre Cuba et l’Europe avant et après le renversement du dictateur Fulgencio Batista, nous incitant à réfléchir sur le « caractère fondateur » de la rupture de l’année 1959.

Formation en langues secondes face à l’urgence

Revue « Lidil » n° 69, mai 2024

Migrants today find themselves in an “emergency” context aggravated by the pandemic. The uncertainty of their condition, due to practical, legal and institutional matters, has been worsen by the current issues related to health and security, which is weakening their integration process even more. In such a context, it is also urgent to reconsider the language needs of migrants, in other words, to address, in terms of language training, the urgency of their integration through language as well as the new difficulties in meeting the needs that they express as learners. Thus, this issue of Lidil seeks to deepen the reflection on topics related to second languages for migrants in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic emergency.

Uprisings and resistance: contemporary issues of cinema and visual arts in Iran and across the diaspora

How can we look at Iranian cinema and the visual arts in relation to Iran today when the country has been experiencing an important episode of uprising and resistance, since September 16, 2022? Indeed, as in 1979, 1999, and 2009, and as in 2017 and 2018, it is obvious that images play a decisive role in the constitution of events. Iranian artists and filmmakers are indeed demonstrating an exceptional mobilization and effervescence in order to bear witness to the ongoing protests, but also to support them and mobilize international public opinion.

Contesting national borders today and tomorrow

Actors, discourses, practices, proposals

Étroitement liées à l’existence des États-nations, les frontières sont à la fois des marqueurs de souveraineté et d’identités, et des lignes imaginaires. Cependant, les tracés ne sont pas toujours perçus comme justes : imposés, négociés, issus de traités, ils résultent de « rapports de forces », de politiques coloniales, d’orientations idéologiques. À travers une approche empirique, ce colloque international cherchera à étudier la contestation des frontières non seulement à travers le prisme du pouvoir politique mais en privilégiant l’analyse des logiques et des stratégies des acteurs non étatiques, de leurs discours et revendications, des modalités d’organisation et de mobilisation.

Afro Literature Conference

Cuando decidimos abordar el estudio de la “literatura africana”, nos enfrentamos a una serie de problemas, en tanto campo complejo de tensiones, de núcleos constitutivos, de perspectivas, inherentes a toda etiqueta formada por la palabra literatura y un gentilicio. Una dificultad no menor la encontramos en los planes de estudios de las carreras de Letras en Argentina cuyo “patrón cognitivo” (Quijano 2017) aún persiste dentro de los rasgos de un patrón de poder fundado en la colonialidad: el centro no ha sido del todo desplazado, para decirlo con wa Thiong’o (2014). El eurocentrismo académico en nuestro país perdura en el escaso interés que el pensamiento africano y afrodiaspórico ocupa en las carreras de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, con destacadas excepciones siempre individuales o colectivas pero rara vez institucionale.

Portrait of the puppeteer as author

Writing practices for puppets in Western Europe (17th-21st century)

The African sustainable city: between utopia and reality

Considering the future of Africa with its current demographic growth, refers to questioning the making of its cities in the next 3 decades. Concretely, how to think of the African cities of tomorrow? This international symposium focuses on the issue of the sustainable city in Africa by mobilizing researchers, practitioners and experts from different disciplinary fields, on the imperative of thinking today about the African city of tomorrow. This symposium will therefore sufficiently problematize the ways of imagining the African cities of tomorrow in connection with the Sustainable Development Goals. The urban fabric is questioned here on a variety of themes that allow us to understand the complexity of African cities.

Political thought and government in the medieval West: cross-cultural perspectives (11th to early 13th centuries)

L’objectif de ce colloque est de mener une analyse croisée de l’action et de la pensée politique entre le XI^e siècle et le début du XIII^e siècle. Une réflexion d’ensemble, évitant l’écueil de l’opposition entre théorie et pratique politique, est nécessaire pour apporter une perspective novatrice à l’appréhension de la pensée et de l’action politique au cours de ce long XII^e siècle. Cette rencontre convie les participants à réfléchir sur une mise en relation entre des modèles ou des actes gouvernementaux concrets et des considérations plus théoriques et sur l’influence que ces deux éléments structurants pourraient avoir l’un sur l’autre.

Religion in movement. New perspectives in the study of religious History

While the role of the Catholic Church under the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) and the Dictatorship (1939-1975) remain one of the most bitterly contested aspects in public and academic debates, in recent years, the study of religious history has become an increasingly respected as an expanding field of research in Spanish historiography. The foundation of the Asociación Española de Historia Religiosa Contemporánea (AEHRC - Spanish Association of Contemporary Religious History) in 2016 has greatly contributed to this development. The present conference aims to celebrate and continue these efforts. For this reason, the AEHRC would like to invite researchers to join us in the prospect of advancing the state of the art in our field by a) critically evaluating the successes and limitations of current and new perspectives in the study of contemporary religious history; and, in particular, b) by reassessing the processes of secularisation and religious reconfiguration that have shaped the Spanish and Hispanic cases.

From cultural feminism to the ethics of care

Theories and practices of ecofeminist art from the 1970s to the present

À l’heure où les institutions culturelles commencent à mettre en lumière les préoccupations écoféministes dans l’art, il importe de revenir sur l’histoire de ces pratiques pionnières, d’interroger les cadres conceptuels qui ont pu influencer les démarches (spiritualité féministe, théorie du care, etc.) et de réfléchir aux formes artistiques nouvelles que prend le combat écoféministe au XXI^e siècle. Dans cette perspective, cette journée d’étude entend réunir des historiens d’art, des chercheurs, mais aussi des critiques et des artistes, dans le but de définir plus précisément les contours d’une histoire de l’art écoféministe depuis les pratiques pionnières jusqu’aux formes les plus contemporaines.
