  Thinking about violence in Africa through women’s experiences: vulnerability & subversion

  Penser la violence en Afrique au travers de l’expérience des femmes: vulnérabilité et subversion

  The two-day conference “Junges Forum 2020” seeks to reflect on women’s experiences of violence in Africa from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is not to discuss passive experience in the context of violence (if it exists at all) but to attempt to outline different experiences of violence (symbolic, social, domestic, epistemic, political or sexual) as well as to explore how they can be transformed, appropriated and reversed. The “Junges Forum” explicitly invites young researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral scholars) to share their ideas from various disciplines (anthropology, film studies, gender studies, history, literary studies, psychology, sociology, etc.) in order to encourage an interdisciplinary exchange and open debates related to the topic. The main focus is to be on African countries and regions only.

  Music and the Spanish Civil War

  This two-day conference aims to create a framework for a broader understanding of the ways in which Spanish and non-Spanish musicians (including composers, performers, conductors, musicologists, critics, and others) relate to this key historical and ideological conflict of the 20^th century. These relationships are not limited to the wartime period but also include the subsequent decades, in which a large number of musicians from Spain and abroad reflected on the confrontation and its consequences in their work.

  Research and innovation practices in non-academic settings in Europe (17th-21th Centuries)

  The aim of this conference is to examine the production of scientific, medical, technical and artistic knowledge in non-academic settings in Europe between the 17^th and 21^st centuries. The point is to understand who these non-academic social actors were, and to study the interactions between their research conditions, the knowledge produced and its reception. No presupposition on the marginality of or indeed centrality of said social actors should be deduced from the wording of the question. On the contrary, it calls for a study of the complex interactions between social and scholarly social spheres.

  "The grass is always greener" - gardens and politics

  Franco-German histories, experiences and perspectives

  Le CEREG (EA 4223) de l’Université de Nanterre, l’équipe de recherche « Mondes allemands » (EA 1577) de l’Université Paris VIII Vincennes Saint-Denis, l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Versailles et la fondation Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau organisent, du 14 au 16 mai 2020 un colloque franco-allemand sur le thème « “Sortir de l’enclos” : jardins et politique(s). Histoires, expériences et perspectives franco-allemandes ». Il s'agira de s’interroger sur les liens qu’ont entretenus, depuis le XVII^e siècle, les jardins avec la politique en France et en Allemagne, mais aussi d’examiner de récentes initiatives où le jardin, compris comme processus vivant, se transforme en lieu d’expression de la démocratie et de la citoyenneté. L’histoire des deux pays, parfois adverse et souvent intimement mêlée, incite en effet à tendre des miroirs pour révéler des mouvements et aspirations profondes des deux sociétés, étudier les contrastes et transferts mutuels, et croiser les études de terrain dans ce domaine encore peu exploré qu’est l'art comparé des jardins.

  Innovation and medieval communities in North-West Europe (1200-1500)

  Le lien bien établi entre innovation et modernisation suscite de nombreuses interrogations aujourd'hui. Toutefois ce phénomène est loin d’être propre aux sociétés modernes et contemporaines et la fin du Moyen Âge, qui n’a encore jamais fait l’objet d’une étude systématique sur ce sujet, se révèle essentielle pour comprendre les mécanismes humains d’adaptation, mais aussi les enjeux culturels qui facilitent ou bloquent les transitions. Débarrassés de toute perspective téléologique sur l’innovation, la période (XIII^e- début XVI^e siècle) et l’espace (Europe du Nord-Ouest) que nous souhaitons placer au cœur de cette rencontre pourront servir de laboratoire d’analyse, afin d’estimer les conditions de réception de l’innovation et les réactions suscitées par l’irruption de la nouveauté.

  France, Germany, Africa: representations, transfers, relations

  Appréhendé à l’époque coloniale comme le « laboratoire de la modernité » européenne, le continent africain est aujourd’hui partie intégrante de l’histoire et de l’avenir de l’Europe mais aussi du monde. Dans son essai Afrotopia récemment traduit en allemand, l’économiste et écrivain sénégalais Felwine Sarr dénonce le mythe occidental du développement projeté sur les sociétés africaines et appelle à décoloniser les esprits de par et d’autre de la Méditerranée pour permettre aux Afriques de redevenir le « poumon spirituel du monde. » Ce plaidoyer pour un changement de paradigme s’inscrit dans une relation Europe-Afrique à refonder. Partant de ces réflexions, Le XV^e colloque du comité franco-allemand des historiens entend interroger cette histoire croisée entre la France, l’Allemagne et le continent africain pour les XIX^e et XX^e siècles.

  Emotional attachment to machines

  New ways of relationship-building in Japan

  Currently, technologies that foster emotional connections between humans and digital beings are perceived as a threat by many. Because emotional devices are considered to be make-believe systems based on ‘simulation’ (which is often confused with lying, deceit or fraud), emotional technologies could potentially be suspected of affecting human sexual identity or disrupting social bonds. This Symposium will examine the ways in which humans form intimate relationships with ‘emotionally-intelligent entities’ (robots, digital characters, downloadable boyfriend…) and what purposes these relationships to machines serve for them.

  Prisons of Russia, Ukraine, France, Germany : Questioning Prison Violence

  Almost twenty years after the European Court of Human Rights affirmed the right to decent conditions of detention, has this aspiration for a violence-free sentence succeeded in counteracting operation modes usually described as inherent to prison? Has the European project for common minimum standards succeeded in overcoming national penological conceptions and professional cultures, in other words overcoming the historical inertia of prison? What resistance/adaptation strategies have deployed prison administrations in response to these reform injunctions? In view of these experiences, what are the ways out of prison violence? Can civil society actors force these transformations? In particular, can lawyers help maintaining vigilance? The Seminar is held as part of the European Lawyers' Day and will bring together former detainees, researchers, civil society leaders and lawyers to discuss the issue of prison violence as is manifest in Western (Germany, France) and Eastern former soviet (Russia, Ukraine) European prison systems.

  Locating negative affects in post-reform China

  This panel takes the prevalence of positivity in post-reform China as an invitation to investigate its opposites: the variety of negative ordinary affects that can be viewed as ensuing from state-induced “situations of restricted agency”. What can we learn from the various forms of negativity that morph out of the socio-political circumstances of post-reform China, and how to tread a fine line between the risk of romanticization and analytical dismissal? Under what conditions do the expression and performance of negative affects constitute “a manifestation of autonomy from state directives” in the context of pervasive “happiness” campaigns? Or is their work ambivalent, if not problematic, especially when they come to be associated with specific marginalized groups?
