Workshop: Egypt's electoral roller-coaster: Voting in times of political turmoil
Joint workshop of the MLU‘s Oriental Institut (Arabic/Islamic Studies) and the Graduate School "Society and Culture in Motion“
Workshop and discussion with Hania Sobhy (FUB), Florian Kohstall (FUB), Daniele Cantini (MLU), Björn Bentlage (MLU).
This year‘s parliamentary elections in Egypt ended in early December. They were barely noticed outside of the country even though they mark the end of a long transitional period that had begun with the Arab Spring in 2011. That period is now – after five tumultuous zears of military rule, several elections and constitutions, dissolutions of parliament, and a popular coup against an elected Islamist president – coming to a close as the parliamentary elections usher in a newly assembled system under president al-Sisi. After the 2015 elections, Egypt will have a complete set of state powers for the first time since 2011. It is time to look back then, reflect on the events of the last years, and consider what may lie ahead. The workshop means to compare the muted elections of 2015 with the partly enthusiastic, partly embittered voting experiences in the years before, providing an opportunity to discuss the volatile meaning and import of elections in general and the prospects of Egypt in particular.

2nd Workshop on Reconciliation and Remembrance: An Approach to Develop and Validate Best Reconciliation Practices
Date: April 27, 2015, 10 am - 6 pm.
***
Venue: Jena Center for Reconciliation Studies, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena
***
Organizers: Prof. Dr. Martin Leiner (JCRS, Jena University), PD Dr. Ralph Buchenhorst (SCM, MLU), Dr. James Thompson (SCM, MLU), Prof. Dr. Ralf K. Wüstenberg (Flensburg University).

This workshop sets forth considerations for the development and validation of best reconciliation practices as discussed in our first international workshop “Conflict Resolution, Remembrance, and Justice: Towards an International Center for Reconciliation”, realized at the Research Cluster/Graduate School "Society and Culture in Motion", 16.–18.07.2014. The event invites young researchers to outline the steps for developing the framework for validating reconciliation methods and propose a roadmap for establishing an international agenda for best reconciliation practices. We attempt to define and justify methods or techniques that have consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means and that are used as a benchmark.

International Conference "Surviving genocide: On what remains and the possibility of representation"
Date: December 10-13, 2014
***
Venue: Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (Halle (Saale); Research Cluster/Graduate School "Society and Culture in Motion"
***
Organizers: Fazil Moradi, M.A. (MPI Halle), PD Dr. Ralph Buchenhorst (SCM, MLU), Dr. Maria Six-Hohenbalken (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Social Anthropology)
***
The main tasks of the conference are to scrutinize the internationally acknowledged ways of dealing with the aftermath of genocides and to discuss new approaches to transmit or rather transform the survivors’ suffering, coping and their claims for recognition. We expect critical inquiry into the ways in which experiences of extermination are represented in the arts, mass media, law and episteme. Regardless of the different representational modes, all discourses translate acts of extermination into visual and verbal communication. Thus, the ways poetry, painting, drawing, photography, film, novel, academic writing, testimony and the discreet legal proceedings at the International Criminal Court deal with the aftermath of mass crimes may be examined. Within this context, the ramification of globally circulating modes of representation, power and gender relations, aspects of social insecurity, dominant political and historical narratives, ways of silencing and exclusion are of particular interest to us. As an outcome, we seek to investigate interdisciplinary approaches to the field in question and ask if they can contribute to more comprehensive and ethical ways in understanding the long lasting effects and the complexity of coming to terms with conflict-wracked pasts.

Tagung "Befremdung als Methode? Experimente und Einsichten der Performativen Philosophie“ am 24.05.2013 im Nietzsche Dokumentationszentrum in Naumburg
Performative Philosophie erweitert u.a. die Textinterpretation, Textrezeption und philosophische Verständigung dadurch, dass sie etwas Fremdes mit der Philosophie konfrontiert. Befremdlich ist es, wenn solche Experimente an der Schnittstelle von Kunst und Philosophie den Anspruch erheben, in die Disziplin hineinzuwirken und sie sogar behaupten, damit den Kern des Philosophierens zu treffen. Die Tagung soll der Frage nachgehen, inwiefern die Konfrontation und das Spiel mit dem Fremden, Einsichten und Lernprozesse unterstützt oder verhindert. Im Wechsel von beispielhaften Kurzperformances, theoretischen Beiträgen und Diskussionen will die Tagung Folgendem nachgehen: 1.) dem Befremden, das in der Performativen Philosophie zur Methode wird, 2.) dem befremdlichen Gedanken, damit die philosophische Praxis erweitern zu können. Hierzu werden Praxisbeispiele vorgestellt und reflektiert sowie erkenntnistheoretische Zugänge eröffnet.
