    Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity

    We invite contributions for our Workshop “Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity”, happening at Humboldt University Berlin, 24-25 May 2019. The materiality of technologies and infrastructures is significant; however, we think their impact on and interaction with societies has to be analysed in a global dimension as well. We hope to establish this approach for the broader field of African History, reacting and bringing attention to a growing interest in these questions indicated in a number of recently developed research projects and publications.

    Berlin, year zero?

    Doctoral workshop looking at the history and topography of occupied Berlin (1945-1949)

    Dans notre atelier, nous souhaitons adopter un point de vue original en portant, à partir de l’histoire du genre, un regard particulier sur la ville et la société berlinoise d’après-guerre. Ainsi, nous proposons de revisiter la période de sortie de guerre à Berlin, terrain propice à l’observation des reconfigurations d’une société ayant subi et soutenu à différents degrés le national-socialisme et, plus particulièrement, à l’observation des relations sociales genrées entre femmes et hommes. Pour l’Allemagne, et plus particulièrement pour la ville de Berlin, la dictature nationale-socialiste et la Seconde Guerre mondiale ont constitué une période troublée pour les relations de genre oscillant entre expérimentation, violence et misère sexuelle. Si le nazisme et la guerre semblent à première vue avoir renforcé la séparation des sexes, ils ont en réalité largement contribué à déplacer les frontières de genre.

    Seminar - History

    Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar (2009-2010)

    Post-Ottoman Cities

    What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies. Séminaire organisé par Ulrike Freitag et Nora Lafi.

    Les 10 et 11 mai 2007 se tiendra à Berlin, au Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO), une rencontre internationale organisée par Ulrike Freitag, Malte Fuhrman, Nora Lafi et Florian Riedler sur le thème "Migrations et Institutions urbaines dans l'Empire Ottoman durant la période des réformes".
