    Excess? Images of body, health, morality and emotions across the media

    A central goal of the workshop is to open up an international exchange and to connect perspectives from the history of science, the history of emotions, the history of the body and media history in order to shed new light on a history of health as a cultural history. The event is part of the research project “The Healthy Self as Body Capital: Individuals, Market-Based Societies, and Body Politics in Visual Twentieth Century Europe” funded by the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Advanced Grant agreement No 694817) led by Christian Bonah (University of Strasbourg) and Anja Laukötter (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin).

    Beyond disciplinary boundaries

    The practices of historical social sciences in France and Germany

    Les relations entre histoire et sciences sociales se sont parfois limitées en France et en Allemagne à des portraits caricaturaux, dessinés par chaque discipline pour mieux légitimer sa propre démarche. Plutôt que de s’enfermer dans des reproches parfois justifiés ou des oppositions classiques mais répétées ad nauseam (sciences nomothétiques vs. sciences idiographiques ; synchronie vs. diachronie, continuité vs. rupture, individu vs. structure etc.), nous souhaitons lors de ce Junges Forum interroger à nouveaux frais la possibilité et les conditions d’un dialogue fructueux entre sciences sociales et histoire en France et en Allemagne, à la suite d’une riche filiation faite de coopérations et de conflits.

    Capitalist Aesthetics

    Open Cultural Studies Journal (De Gruyter)

    Open Cultural Studies, an OA peer-reviewed Journal (De Gruyter) invites submissions to a special issue on  Capitalist Aesthetics edited by Dr Pansy Duncan & Dr Nicholas Holm (Massey University The issue will explore the aesthetic configurations—from the cute to the comfortable, from the no-brow to the fringe—through which the economic logics of late capitalism come to crystallize today. It invites work that treats the stylistic and formal dimension of cultural objects, and the verdictive and affective dimensions of cultural discourse/experience, as valuable “cryptograms” of contemporary ideological formations and the economic relations they sustain.

    Marx, Semiotics and Political Praxis

    This special issue of Open Cultural Studies will return to the work of Karl Marx to reflect on and engage with his coherent articulation of words and their use, of words and actions, and of the intellectual and the political. The coherence of his discourse and praxis offers tools to think through, if not seek to transform, the alienated semiotic landscape of our times as described by the Frankfurt school philosopheers, Jean Baudrillard, Frederic Jameson, Sloterdijk and Slavoj Žižek. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, in this special issue we want to honour his 11th Thesis on Feuerbach: "philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."

    Contemporary African and Black Diasporic Spaces in Europe

    "Open Cultural Studies" journal

    This special issue of Open Cultural Studies explores the social and cultural spaces in which identifications with African and black diaspora(s) become articulated, (re)negotiated and established as a field of collective agency with transformative power in European societies. It will argue that  African diaspora communities and cultures in Europe are constructed not only by individuals’ engagements with Africa and its global diaspora, or mediatized and commercialized notions of Africanness/blackness, but also through collective agency aiming at promoting change in European societies shadowed by the normative whiteness, nationalist discourses and policies, human rights violations and overt racism.

    Call for papers - Urban studies

    Geomedia and the City

    Geomedia is an emerging concept that has been deployed to capture a particular technological condition, associated with recent rapid developments in digital technology. As such, it signals to the dialectics of locative media and the mediations of localities. However, the concept of geomedia carries deeper/wider ontological and epistemological registers that transcend the simple twining of geography and media. In this wider sense, geomedia gestures to the expanding interdisciplinary terrain at the crossroads of media studies and geography, where various ontologies and epistemologies of space/time, flows/mobilities and mediation/ mediatization come together. The aim of this special issue is to explore the urban as a key terrain where these ontologies and epistemologies are articulated.

    Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

    The imagined woman in Medieval and Early Modern Europe

    Interdisciplinary perspectives

    With a decidedly interdisciplinary agenda, and focusing on Medieval and Early Modern Europe, this conference investigates the image and imagery of women, as well as the concepts attached to both. In suggesting an approach capable of integrating diverse aspects, its aim is to complement the research so far, which has tended to focus either on historical studies concerning influential female individuals and writers, or on works scrutinizing the literary imagery relating to women.

    The challenge of afterwards - the postdoc phase in France and Germany

    La phase postdoctorale en France et en Allemagne

    La soutenance d’une thèse de doctorat marque la fin d’un cycle et la reconnaissance de ses pairs. Mais elle ouvre dans le même temps une phase d’incertitudes et d’inquiétudes légitimes sur son avenir professionnel à court, moyen et long terme. Quel que soit le système universitaire dans lequel on a fait sa thèse, les jeunes chercheurs.es partagent de part et d’autre du Rhin un certain nombre de questions, de doutes et d’angoisses, qui portent tant sur les aspects institutionnels que sur les choix très concrets à faire : doit-on privilégier la carte de l’internationalisation de son parcours ? Comment arriver à construire un nouveau sujet de recherche ? Quelles sont les possibilités structurelles qui s’offrent en France, en Allemagne ou ailleurs ?
